Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The Tower

The Tower Of Babel. A structure that exists outside the laws of time and space that houses countless different worlds. 

The Chosen. Someone whose desire is so strong that they are chosen by the Tower. They are to go through different worlds in order to gain what they want and achieve unbelievable strength far surpassing what they normally should have. 

The Inhibitants. They are the people that naturally live in one of the worlds of the Tower. 

No one other than the Chosen are permitted to climb the Tower. At least that was how it should've been. 

A young man could be seen standing in front of a huge Golden gate. 

He looks to be approximately 17 years old, with long black hair that reaches his broad shoulders. Eyes so dark that you almost couldn't see the reflection of light. He was wearing a purple hooded jacket, black shirt, black pants that reached up to his ankles, and old black shoes that looked at least decades old. 

The dark haired youth moved his right hand at the centre of the Huge Golden Gate and tried to push it. 

ZZZZT ZZZZT

A golden magic circle engraved at the centre of the gate shined and unleashed golden lightning through his arm. 

Suddenly, purple flames burst out of his right arm as he calmly did a pushing motion and fought off the golden electricity. The purple flames covered the Gate and slowly corroded the magic circle. 

CREAAAAK CREAAK

With a loud creaking noise, the Gate slightly opened as he pushed on it once again. 

Walking inside, The Gate closed behind him as Floating Holograms appeared in front of him. 

[The Tower Welcomes you, oh chosen one.] 

Was what it said until purple flames devoured it until it disappeared completely from his sight. 

"Hmm… I didn't think that there would be any more chosen that would enter at this time. Anyways, Welcome to the tower, Oh Chosen One."

A green skinned midget who was wearing an expensive looking suit appeared in front of him as it welcomed him. 

"I'm assuming that the Tower System explained why you are here already?" 

The young man nodded and the green midget continued to explain. 

"You are here to be tested if you are ready to climb the tower! A qualification that most chosen ones need! Now, I shall send you to the area where your test shall take place." 

Below the teenager, a golden magic circle expanded and swallowed him. 

_-_-_–

The teen appeared in a wide grassy forest clearing surrounded by huge thick trees covered in moss. 

A strong breeze of wind blew past him as a Green Giant with armor made from animal leathers and fur appeared before him. It carried a long stone pointed spear and was in a battle ready stance. 

"Now, all you have to do is to defeat this monster! I wish you Goodluck." 

The voice of the green midget was heard and explained the conditions of the test. 

Hearing that, the dark haired youth quickly closed in at the green giant. As the distance between them wasn't that short he quickly appeared right in front of the Green Giant and lowered his body dodging a swift slash from the stone pointed spear of the Giant. 

FSSHHHH

Purple flames burst out of his legs as he did a sweeping kick at the giant's right lower shin, successfully taking the giant down on the ground on all fours. 

GRAAAAAH

The Green Giant roared as he tried to kick the dark haired teen away. The dark haired youth, as if expecting the attack, intercepted it with his burning legs and successfully redirected it. 

Seeing that his attacks work, the young man jumped on top of the giant's body and grabbed on the giant's throat. In reaction to that, the Giant took its spear and tried to stab the youth, but was proven to be unsuccessful as the youth's flame covered hand grabbed it causing flames to quickly eat away at it eventually crawling up its arms. 

GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! 

The giant roared as the purple flames quickly enveloped its own body. It tried to roll around to try and put out the fire but it only seemed to make it stronger as the purple flames spread to its surroundings. 

FSHHHHHHHHHHHH

A loud burning sound was heard as the Green Giant's body disappeared in the purple flames. 

"Congratulations, Chosen One! You have passed quite spectacularly. You will now be sent to the first floor! I bid you farewell and goodluck, Chosen One!" 

The voice of the midget could be heard again as a Golden magic circle appeared at the young man's foot again and swallowed him in a few moments. 

–Somewhere in The Tower.

In a gigantic cathedral made out of gold, an idol of a woman that could only be called divine was ominously shaking. 

Inside the cathedral was a golden haired man with extremely good looks. He was wearing a white clerical clothing decorated with gold. 

"Oh Almighty Goddess, please tell me the reason for your restlessness." 

Asks the man as he kneels in front of the statue. 

WOOONG

As if answering, the statue vibrated intensely until a bright light covered the cathedral. 

In front of the Idol of The Goddess, a ball of purple flames appeared and exploded and devoured everything. 

[The Star of Chaos has appeared. The great catastrophe must be stopped.] 

Suddenly, an angelic voice rang out inside the cathedral as the purple flames disappeared in an instant. 

"Worry not, Oh Goddess of Light. I shall purge this evil in your divine name." 

Exclaimed the priest with confidence. 

– 

"Knights! Quick, evacuate the civilians! These flames cannot be put ou-ARGGH!" 

Screams of panic could be heard everywhere as purple flames could be seen devouring everything around the city. 

"Hmm, hmm.." 

In the middle of all the chaos a dark haired youth could be seen walking in the city ominously humming with a listless look in his eyes. 

"Hey kid! It's dangerous! Get out of here quick!" A man wearing armour resembling a knight- No, perhaps they are a knight, hurriedly warns the dark haired youth. 

Hearing this, the dark haired youth stopped walking and stared at the Knight.

"Hey, what are you doing! Get out of here, quick!" The knight reprimands the teen as he immediately tries to grab the teen. 

The teen blankly stared at the knight and raised his arms sideways. 

"Devour everything in this world. 『Voracious Flames of Hell』"

KUOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!! 

The purple flames growled as it started to grow in size and devoured everything without leaving anything behind.
