Mors eyes open wide as he stands up. He makes his sword appear in his right hand. His heart beating with speed as he looks at his surroundings. What lay in front of his eyes was a luxurious bedroom. The curtains were slightly open, allowing the glowing yellow warmth of the sun to enter the room.
Beneath his feet is a comfortable and soft mattress. The cover sheet was a soft yellow color. The blanket thin and soft. But there was a thicker blanket beneath that one, for the night when things for cold.
"What he-"
"Oh yea. I did pass out when I got out of the tower. But who the hell brought me here?"
Mors said to himself as he got out of the bed. He looks at his body, he notices that he still has his dirty and bloody clothes on. But he could see some bandages beneath the clothes and the bitter smell of some herbal medicine. Mors puts his sword away as he walks towards the door of the room. He opens the door with a swift motion.
He walks into the hallway, and it's greeted by no one.
"This looks like the hotel I book in when I got to the city. Ha, interesting"
Mors could not help but talk to himself as he walks down the hallway. He arrives at the stairs and walks down. Soon arriving at the main floor. He did not even need it to walk to the receptionist desk. As the receptionist walk towards him the moment she saw him.
She was a cute woman, probably hire because she cute. With a small and sophisticated bow, she greets Mors.
"Esteem cultivator Wu Ming. I am extremely happy you have woken up. Your wounds were really bad, and you were asleep for two days"
"Damn, two whole days. May I know who was the one that brought me here?"
"That would have been the guard of the tower"
"But how did he know I was staying at this hotel?"
"Well, this is the usual hotel cultivators use when they come to challenge the tower. By the way lord Ming, you own us two days of rent"
"Own? But didn't I pay for five days before going to the tower?"
"Yes but that was a whole month ago"
"What!? So, two days in that tower is one day outside. I really underestimated how long I was going to be there"
"I own you ten gold coins, correct?"
"Yes my lord"
"Here you go, ten for what I own and ten more for two extra days"
"It's a pleasure doing to serve you for two whole days my lord"
"Yes yes, can you bring me some food to my room?"
"It should be done; here have the menu and we will prepare what you want"
Mors grabs the menu, and he looks at it.
"I will Dan Dan noodles, Baozi, and Kung Pao chicken. For a drink, bring me Xifengjui as well."
Mors gives the receptionist the menu back.
"It should be done my lord. The food should be brought to you as fast as possible"
Mors nods his head to the cute woman as he walks back to his room. He closes the door behind as he enters his room. He makes his way to the bed as he gets on it. He had to stop himself from buying a healing potion from the system.
"I got to hold myself back. I need to use the system less. I didn't prepare enough for that tower, all because the system has made me lazy. Let's just sit here and heal naturally"
Mors was about to look away from the system, till he notice a small bell icon.
"Notifications?"
Mors touches the bell as old messages started to replay in his mind.
"Ha, Zhihui got herself into some fun. Look at all of this points. Nice, we are now rank 3"
Mors smiles, his smile slowly fading as he notice something.
"So, I didn't get any single point from hunting in the tower? Was it because the system did not work in towers? Or-"
Mors looks at the name of the points they get when they killed something or do something monumental.
" The tower does not have fate? Actually, the way the fate points are awarded, makes it look like fate is set in stone. [Chains of Fate], the achievement mention that. Could it be fate is not a natural thing in this world? But it was made by someone else?"
"A God?"
"In The Cultivation Tower you could never ascend to gain God hood. But the lore did state that all Gods were once mortals. But the way to Godhood was seal off by the Tower."
"…..We can become Gods!"
Mors said with a large smile on his face. He was slowly gaining more and more goals to complete. The feeling of playing the game for the first time resurface once again.
"I can't wait to share all of this with Zhihui. On my way home I should gather some troll blood"
------Zhihui-----
Zhihui sighs as she looks at the piles of papers in her desk. She massages her tired eyes. Staring at papers upon papers of the current buff food project for a whole day was slowly driving her insane.
"If only Mors was here…"
She sigh once again as she rest her tired head on the table. It has been a whole month without Mors. This have been the longest time the couple have been separated. Who knew that she will miss the man she marry just because of his strength. Fate really brought them together.
She could not help but smile thinking about their first meeting. The memory still fresh in her mind. Zhihui ears pick up a commotion happening inside the house.
"Who the hell is runni-"
The door to Zhihui office is swing wide open. Zhihui eyes land on the figure of all so familiar man. Energy enter her body as she stood up and rush towards her husband. The couple embrace each other as they share a passionate kiss. The kiss lasted for a solid 30 seconds.
They look at each other as they break the kiss.
"Welcome back dear"
"I am back my sweet wife. I hope you not doing anything important"
"Why?"
"Because I need to release some stress!"
"AH~ wait Mors close the door!"
