Ren - AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I DID IT, I, REN ALATAR IS REBORN FROM THE WORLD OF DREAMS!!! ALL WHO OPPOSE ME WILL DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Henry and the others were left open-mouthed not knowing what was happening to this unknown person. Ren began to descend from the air slowly while Henry and the others watched his Divine figure.
Henry, Chloe and Celina - WOW! WHO ARE YOU?!
Ren - My name is Ren Alatar, I am a person who was very well known, have you by any chance heard of me?
Henry and the others looked at each other to try to see if any of them knew who Ren was.
Henry - No, we have no idea.
Chloe - Yeah! This is very strange, it all happened so fast.
Celina - Mr. Ren, if I may call you that, why were you trapped inside that wall of ice?
Ren - And why do you think I would answer that silly question?
Henry - Hey, watch your language, you don't treat a lady like tha...
Henry was cut into little pieces in an instant. All the others stood shaking with terrified faces and began to cry.
Chloe - WHY!!!!!!!!
Celina - Why did you kill him? You fool!
Ren - Why? You are questioning the wrong person my dear, this man disrespected me and for that he deserved death! And since you didn't stop him you also deserve the same terrible fate!
Ren immediately chopped up the other two. Then Ren turns around and says:
Ren - Nightmare! Are you there?
Nightmare - Yes I am, Master!
Ren - How long I kept myself locked up?
Nightmare - We are four years in the future, Master, you are now 22 years old.
Ren - Four years... I don't feel much difference since I've been frozen since I lost to Hercules, I think over time the changes will start to show. What about the Magic Kingdom, Nightmare?
Nightmare - Right now the Magic Kingdom lives peacefully as before you attacked 4 years ago. Hercules has managed to increase his reputation as an adventurer since then, this is normal fair to the fact that this is the second time he saves the World from my power.
Ren - That bastard! Enjoying and living the good life while I stayed asleep. I'm going over there right now to kill him!
Nightmare - Master, I do not recommend such an action.
Ren - And why are you telling me this, Nightmare?
Nightmare - So, it has been 4 years since you attacked the Kingdom, since then the Magic Kingdom has changed a lot. Its education and training system is stronger, its defenses are more powerful and all kinds of constructions like walls are harder to be destroyed. Master, if you are going to make an attack like this all of a sudden, you won't be able to do anything like this four years ago. Right now we need to concentrate on not only increasing your power but also ensuring our victory against the Magic Kingdom. This is the first step to the World Conquest.
Ren - Yes, that makes sense, thanks for calming me down Nightmare. Since I was in prison for 4 years my will to fight and my anger is still getting in my way. That damn Hercules, he traumatized me. I need to become stronger than ever, so that no one will ever have the chance to oppose me again. I wonder how I can do it, if I keep training like I did years ago, I won't make any progress. It would also take a long time to search the entire kingdom and the forest, as it has been four years now, so much must have changed.
Ren, thought for a long time, until Nightmare had an idea.
Nightmare - Master I have an idea, but first can we see your statistics?
Ren opened the statistics menu.
Statistics:
- 800 Strength
- 800 Agility
- 800 Intelligence
- 800 Vitality
- Nine hundred and ninety-nine negative points in Faith/-999 Faith
Armor Statistics:

Dark Dragon Slayer Statistics:

- Range increase by 10%
- Sword sharpening by 25%

Ren - Hmm, I see that my statistics have not changed at all as obvious. And thinking that even with all this there might still be people stronger than me hiding all over the world. I WANT TO KILL!
Nightmare - Save your wish for later master for when you are ready to go out into the world you will need it. Okay what I had thought was, in this Church after I was defeated by Hercules and decided to create this magic circle, I hide a key inside the piano where you used to play, Master.
Ren - Hmm, okay, let's see if we can find that key.
Ren walked over to the piano broken in two and remembered how he liked to play the piano and listen to his own music in a beautiful moonlight. He searched through the wreckage of the piano and found a black-colored key. Nightmare said:
Nightmare - Master, use analyze object to see if it is the same one I left there.
Ren - ANALYZE OBJECT!
A window appeared in front of Ren, there it said the name of the key. The key was called the "Key of the Chosen Ones".
Nightmare - Yes, that is exactly the key Master!
Ren - And what is this key for? Nightmare.
Nightmare - So I guess I should start explaining from the beginning. In the past I was considered the strongest spirit of all, all spirits that formed a contract with a person increased their power and because of this I had a chance to be surpassed. No human except you, my master, has ever been worthy enough to possess my powers. So I built a system, which serves to increase my power to the extreme, but in order for me to use it I needed to have a contract with a human, so I left the key hidden for years hoping that it would be of use someday.
Ren - Hmm, that's interesting. So how do I use this key?
Nightmare - For the door to appear before us master, destroy all the lamps with light magic and replace them with black fire.
Ren did so, and suddenly the ground began to shake, and after that a door appeared next to Ren.
Nightmare - Now insert the key into the lock, Master.
Ren put the key in the door lock and turned, the door suddenly opened and all that could be seen was a huge white light coming from it. Suddenly a window appeared before Ren's eyes.
Mysterious Voice - Congratulations Chosen, you have gained access to enter the training system called "The Shadow Tower".
Ren - Wow! Tower of Shadows? This is going to be fun.
Mysterious Voice - Choose the difficulty you want to proceed inside the Tower.
Suddenly several options appeared in the window: Easy, Medium, Hard, Extreme, Impossible and Shadow King.
Nightmare - So Master? What do you think is the option we should choose to conquer the world?
Nightmare said smiling like an evil spirit woman she is. Ren answered right back:
Ren - Isn't it obvious Nightmare? I choose SHADOW KING!
Mysterious Voice - You have chosen Shadow King, to proceed you must accept the conditions that will be said next:
- You will not be able to take an item of your own into the Tower;
- You can only get new items by crafting them with materials obtained by enemies;
- You will have to stay inside the tower for a period of one year.
Following these conditions, you will have to face all enemies on all floors of the tower up to the top floor. With this you will get a huge buff on your statistics and will improve your skills to the maximum, you will also be able to train and develop new combat techniques and acquire new skills. That is all!
Do you want to accept or no?
Ren - YES!!!!!!!!
