Synopsis

Chapter 1 - ch-1 beta

Rin was standing on a corpse of a huge octopus-like monster. It's tentacles have been severed and it's head squashed. By looking at it's corpse, anyone would say It was far bigger and frightening than any living being of earth.

Rin was physically tip-off but mentally messed up. He let out a weary sigh.

(If this floor doesn't turn out to be the last, I will commit suicide.)

A disgustingly familiar screen flashed before his lifeless eyes.

His eyes widened by seeing the floating message.

"... This was really the last floor."

(I finally conquered this damned tower which consisted of 100,000 floors and monsters.)

Rin tried to relax his body but It was quite uncomfortable. Maybe, his body just forgot how to relax but he can still relax his mind.

(Been a long time since i checked my status.)

"Status" he says in a low voice.

A long screen flashed before his eyes.

Rin suffered tremendously, but at the same time also gained overwhelming strength in this tower. He had forgotten most of his past memories due to the astonishing amount of time he spent here.

(What should I do after I get back? World domination would be a piece of cake for me.)

Rin chuckes.

(But sleeping all day is more tempting than that.)

Rin got teleported near a winged, crimson-colored monster. It had two wings, 4 legs and a huge glorious body. It was covered with scales that felt indestructible by just looking at them. No doubt, it was a dragon.

"I am Crimshred, the Dragon Emperor. I am tasked to take you to your home planet. You must have many questions to ask, but we don't have much time. Can you use teleportation spell?"

His voice was quite majestic and calm, as expected of a emperor.

"spells? You mean... magic?"

Rin had fought many nonsensical type of creatures in the tower, but non of them used magic.

"The energy that you gain by utilising the mana in the atmosphere."

(I don't think he is talking about oxygen.)

"No."

"Anyway I have enough time to answer only one question and your remaining questions will be also answered, but not by me.".

"Can you revive my cat? My cat died in floor 500."

"...Sure, i will revive her for you."

(That was unexpected. I thought he will ask "Why was i trapped here.")

Rin's emotions were fainted in the tower, but it didn't completely disappeared. He still thought of his cat, although he didn't believed that the dragon could actually revive her.

"But i don't have the body with me—"

"Your cat's black right."

"How did you know?"

"Her soul is here. Seems like instead of ascending, she has been following you. I don't have much time to live. Reviving your cat will fasten the process. I can grant your wish but you have to do something for me."

"Sure. Now how will you revive my cat?"

"I just have to transfer her soul to a lifeless body."

Crimshred talked like it wasn't a big deal for him do that.

A body of a naked woman appeared above Rin. He caught the falling body. The body was warm like a living being, but at the same time it was silent as dead. The body has long black hair and light pale skin.

"Been a long time since i have seen a human body. Whose body is this?"

"No one's. I just created it. It's not a human though."

"You can create bodies?"

"It's no big deal. I am transferring her soul. Put the body on ground."

Rin carefully puts it on the ground.

After half a minute,

"It's done, she should wake up any second now."

"So my cat is a female."

"You didn't Know?"

The body opens her eyes. She stood up, looked at Rin. She said her first words.

"Owner."

"I thought, she would say meow," says Rin.

"I had already put your language and some common sense in the body's brain." says Crimshred.

Rin looks at the body that his cat resides in.

"I never named you right. How about hail?."

Hail's eyes sparkled. She kneels down and says,

"From now on i shall be called Hail."

"Do you know what you just did?" asked Crimshred.

"Was it bad to name her myself?"

"No that's not it. She's not a human but a 'nistha'. A species that are well-known for their unparalleled loyalty towards their chosen ones and, by considering her reaction, you are her chosen one. Naming her means you have accepted her loyality."

"So cliché. I am now her lord or something?"

"Yes and if you reject her, she will probably commit suicide."

"Is her nishtha blood making her follow me?"

"Well no, that's not the primary factor."

"Hmm, do you genuinely want to follow me, hail?"

Hail kneels again.

"Yes owner, serving you will be my greatest honour."

(Why is she so cliché? Is this because of nishta blood?)

Rin remembered about his favour.

"Oh yeah, about your favour, what do you want?"

"I want you to protect my heir."

"Being a bodyguard sounds easy to me. Are you dying by old age?"

"I got injured because of a battle."

"But there's not a scatch in your body."

"It's a illusion magic. Please take care of my heir. My heir is in this space ring"

A ring appears in front of Rin. He wore it in his finger.

The Dragon's scales, which were shining like diamonds were now faded. It was obvious he was close to death.

"How much time do you have?"

"Maybe a minute or two."

"when will you teleport us?"

"You will be automatically teleported after i die."

"Can't you use magic to heal yourself?"

"Haha, I would have used, if I can…"

Crimshred paused,

"Hey Rin, never let your loved ones feel lonely."

There was obvious pain in his words. Then the dragon falls with a loud noise.

"Don't give me life lessons, i am older than I look."

A message flashed.

Rin looks at Hail. She looked like a stunning, cold beauty and her Abs were visible.

"You are naked. Wear my clothes—

Rin suddenly remembered, he was also naked.

(Damn, my clothes were already destroyed, long ago in the tower. I became so used to it that i even forget about it.)

"Well, we will wear clothes when we get back." says Rin.

"... Why are you so quiet? Are you a introvert?" asks Rin.

"I don't know."

"Makes sense since you are literally a new born now."

"Can i ask you something, owner?"

"Yes, sure."

"What was your reaction, when towers suddenly appeared in the earth?"

(My reaction, huh)

Before Rin was trapped, there was already chaos in the earth. It was because of the unknown towers that suddenly appeared all over the world.

"That was about 45,000 years ago but my memory about still hasn't faded. By coincidence, a tower appeared just appeared near my house. I got curious and rushed inside immediately, then a message appeared that i was the first one to step inside the tower. Due to that, i got a reward, my growth rate will be increased."

"As expected of owner. Instead my getting nervous or scared, you rushed inside."

"I got teleported to 1st floor and meet a goblin. I killed the goblin. Then i moved to 2nd floor. I was killed by the lizardman there. I came to know that you can't die in the tower and your stats will rise everytime you kill a monster. My stats raised even more because i was the first human to that. I knew that 4 days earlier than everyone. The dying was terrifying but that didn't stop me from clearing floors."

"But why? Why were you so keen in clearing floors?"

"Do i need a reason?"

"?"

"Why are you so confused?"

"I am pretty sure owner, people need a reason to do that."

"Really."

"Owner, you are different from other people. That's ok."

"It's not like i am sad. Anyway, I was also the first human to clear the 4th floor, after that i got teleported to 5th floor. The exit option disappeared from there and i got stucked here."

"Do you regret it, owner?"

"Maybe when i was stucked in the tower. But now, i don't."

"I see. Owner, since Crimshred doesn't had much time to live, He put some important information in my brain that may interest you."

"Oh."

"Firstly owner have to know about the term 'Maya'. It is similar to nature or ecosystem of our Dimension, It also has consciousness to some extent."

(In others words Maya is like a God.) Thought Rin.

"Maya was the one who created the towers and then teleported them to all habitable planets. So the organisms there can enter the tower and train themselves."

"Since you completed the tower, you have became the guardian of our dimension. Only one can become the guardian and Maya wants the guardian to fight the monsters."

"It would have been surely excited if i was 15 year old mentally. But now it sounds like a pain in the ass."

"Owner, since you have become a guardian, you can check status of anything present in this dimension."

"Oh, just like a game?"

Rin takes a look at the space ring. A message appears.

"Tier 10? Are tiers, a ranking system?"

"Yes, owner. Do you wish to know more?"

"Not now. The ring looks like an important item for dragons. Let them come, I will be happy to trash them."

"No owner, let me fight them. As long as I am alive, nobody can touch you!"

Rin focused on her head.

"You will not stand a chance against dragons, though."

(Her stats are 4-5 times of a average human but dragons are on a whole different level. I knew that when i looked at Crimshred and I am gonna ignore her title.)

"Then I will get stronger enough to protect owner."

"Sure. l wonder if humans even exists now. I was gone for so long."

"Time runs extremely slow in the Abyss of Hell, Owner."

"I am not surprised to hear that."

Rin noticed that hail was taller than him. It was a noticeable difference.

"You are taller than me, you maybe 6 feet or something."

"Owner is still is in his growing age. Maybe he will become taller than me later."

"Stop with that 3rd person talk."

"Understood."

[Teleporting To Earth.]

Rin get teleported to a destroyed place. The place was familiar to Rin. But he can't remember.

It was a actually his father's villa. A highly protected place guarded by profession bodyguards. He can smell the smoke in air. Pebbles and rubbles of building were scattered.

He carried hail and jumped to a tall building. Nobody could see them from there.

Rin can sense numerous dead bodies, and the culprit and his father alive. It was miles away from him. Rin mumbled something to himself and touched hail's head.

"I am transferring some of my undistributed points to you."

Dark flame spewed out from Rin's body and get absorbed by hail.

"Now let's see the results."

(Nice)

Rin disappeared from there for 5 seconds, then appeared again with female clothes.

"Hail, wear this and take some time to get used to your new strength. After that take all the injured people to the nearest hospital."

Rin immediately disappeared from her sight. It didn't even took him a millisecond to go to the location where he sensed the culprit and his father. First thing he was his dad strangled by a yellowish man. His dad was beaten to pulp.

The yellowish man was a very tall and lean human like monster. His body was quite shredded and covered with yellow hair and purple patches. He has very sharp claws and teeth.

The human-like monster smirked, "You are strong For a being of a lower world but no one from lower world can defeat me."

"Leave me you goddamn animal" shouted his father. His voice was very strong despite his critically injured body.

"Cheetahman?"

(i fought it in floor 156. The name given by tower to him was 'Jubaxocya'.)

Rin preferred to call it cheetahman instead of the name given by the tower.

Cheetahman and his father looked at Rin.

(I didn't even sensed his presence. Who is this boy?) Thinks the cheetahman.

"Rin?! what the fuck are you doing here, run away! Now!"

(I don't even have to check the cheetahman's stats. It may be around 200.)

"Hey dad, been a long time and shut up for a second."

(Let me confirm something.)

Rin focused on his dad's head.

(As expected, humans have become much stronger. But this pathetic guy is the strongest human?)

"Who are you sir? what do you want?" asked the cheetahman.

(I can't sense his presence, he must be stronger than me.)

"Why are you killing humans?" asked Rin.

(Of course I am killing them for fun. But this should be a better option.)

"I have been ordered to do this." says the Cheetahman.

"Since you massacred my own fellow species, i don't think i can leave you alive."
