Avalon news"

"fifty days ago, the Horizon Guild decided to attack the 20th floor of the tower; they're ready and confident to show the skill of the number one guild of The Tower, and their struggle has finally come to fruition."

"Unfortunately, the enormous success must be accompanied by great sacrifice. Of the 500 people who took part in the campaign, only 78 are still alive' this illustrates the great challenge the 20th floor faces. However, just as all hope seemed to be gone, the top-ranked "Sun Champion" rushed to the rescue, and with his assistance they finally cleared the floor. It's a very outstanding accomplishment and the citizen has been anticipating the hero's return with excitement."

"With our reporter on The Gate, we will now present the situation."

after he finished speaking the scene changed to show the viewer a square with a huge and majestic dome-like building in center, 40 meters in height and a radius of 20 meters it's one of the first buildings inside the tower and the most important, a place that serves as the landmark and a door that connects the people to the rest of the floors in the Tower, 'The Gate.'

"As you can see behind me, folks the square where The Gate resides, has been completely packed by people immediately after the cleared announcement."

On the square, a large crowd of people are gathered, waiting for their idol to show up and bring them good news of the victory. They are all clapping and shouting with livid expression on their faces solely for the man they regard to as Hero.

"It's been 45 minutes since the victory announcement and still there's no sign of the return of the...."

before the journalist could finish her sentence The Gate, which was lying dormant before began to emit blinding light, and at the same time the crowd's cheer became louder and louder, as if they wanted to be heard throughout the city.

As the light fades away, what everyone has been waiting for finally appears in front of them. The Gate's door opens, revealing a group of people dressed in black uniforms and apparel that set them apart from the other citizens, led by a woman with beautiful pale skin, raven-colored hair, and black eyes that can captivate you with just a glimpse. With her exquisite clothing that flutters as she goes, she doesn't look like she just returned from a battlefield, but no one dares to offend or ignore her because everyone knows how powerful and big her influence is. She is the tower's second-highest ranking after Sun Champion, the owner and master of  the largest guild in The Tower, the top feared figures of The Tower and the holder of the moniker 'Crownless Queen'

She's the 'Tempest Queen,' with every step emanating the majesty of someone who doesn't falter, a straight stance that exudes her tremendous pride even in front of a large crowd, and eyes filled with determination that doesn't let anybody get in her way.

But none of them are paying attention to the woman; instead, their gaze is drawn to the man in the back, who has golden armor adorning his body that act like a beacon of hope, shoulder-length hair the color of a flame, a face that exudes authority, and a lean body that conceals monstrous strength. That man is The Tower's top hunter.

'The Sun Champion'

'Sir, a moment, a moment? sir, sir....'

'Look here, here! please....'

'Out of my way!'

Once he comes out, the light from the cameras grows intense, and the stuttering grows louder and more numerous, whether from the camera or the phone, and everyone just keeps taking pictures like they will regret it for their lives if not.

The Sun Champion looks at the cheering crowd with piercing eyes that make a chill run down everyone's spine. As the eyes look at the people one by one, everybody shuts their mouths. Following that, the champion opens his mouth.

"10 years ago, a megalithic structure appeared on Earth, a structure so tall that it touched the sky and so large that it could contain the entire city of New York. Nobody knows what it was, who made it, or what was inside of it. It truly is a world full of wonders and mysteries waiting to be discovered. And We call it 'The Tower.'"

"The Tower has been part of our lives for ten years. We have been living inside The Tower for years while trying to get by each day. We have left behind the world outside simply to come to this godforsaken place. We give up everything for our house, our family, and our miserable life. We give up everything to come here in the hopes that our life will be somewhat better than it is outside. What do we get, though?" The Sun Champion stated in a deeper voice, showing he was clearly angry, after taking a deep breath and calming himself down. "Just some more sacrifices that pile up like mountains and what follow? hope that we know we will never reach." The Champion continues speaking.

"Then, if the outsider believes we live a miserable life, let us make it prosperous, let us make it glorious, with our two hands, our strength, and our intellect, let us make it a place where we can do whatever we want, eat whatever we want, and take whatever we want." It will be a utopia, a heaven on Earth. Let us build our own paradise." with his fist clenched in the air and uncontrollable enthusiasm in his voice.

The crowd immediately began shouting and cheering, some with big smiles on their faces, joy racing through their entire bodies, all of them had the same excitement, the same feelings, they want it, they want it to be their own paradise. The cheering which represents all of their distress begin to explode as cheering for the person they regard as their only hope, The Sun Champion.

When the champion lifted his hand, however, the crowd began to quiet down. The champion continues his speech.

"But, my brothers and sisters, I can't do it alone; I'm only one man; I can't make the world by myself; it's too much for me. That is why, brothers and sisters, I want you to join me and fight with me. With your assistance, we will create a better society, one in which our children will not have to see our anguish and disgrace. We will fight together, and we shall win together!" With his grasped fist raised into the air, The Champion said in a raged and loud voice. The crowd felt something inside them awaken as they heard the words; his speech caused their blood, and vigor to rise and turn into admiration for him.

Instantly another loud cheering began to echo in the square, and everybody, whether old or young, common people or rankers, just cheered to him like there was no tomorrow. Even when their voices began to get hoarse and their hands became red, they just cheered loudly for him. why? because they adore him.

He's the only one who has the courage to speak out for them, fight for them, and give them hope. That is why people adore him, admire him, and strive to be like him. Even someone who hates or despises him want to be like him.

And each word he speaks only increases the desire even more, resulting in raucous applause that never stops. Despite the crowd's loud cheers, the Sun Champion simply stared at them with a serious expression on his face, and as he lifted his hand, the crowd began to calm down, and he proceeded to finish his speech.

"I'm sure some of you are wondering how we're going to demonstrate our strength and might to them. Isn't there just one way we can go about it? "By going up," said The Sun Champion, raising his hand and pointing his index finger to the sky. When the crowd sees this, their eyes widen and they can't believe what he just stated.

"Yes, it's exactly what you were thinking. We'll travel to the 21st floor tomorrow, then the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th...etc. Until we reach the top of The Tower and conquer it," The Sun Champion replied, his fist clenched.

"I mean, think about the many things we can get from The Tower. We will gain territory, resources, wealth, honor—we can get anything from it. The prizes we can get from clearing The Tower are more than we can imagine unlimited wealth and unimaginable wonder. Isn't that excite you?"

The crowd is completely taken aback by his announcement. Some of them, with their eyes practically gazing out, their jaws dropped, or wide smile covering from ear to ear, they even had no idea their astonished look had been captured on camera and is currently going viral. There are the shocked, the delighted, the ambitious, the brave, the greedy, and the one who is just hungry for a challenge.

Once everyone awakens from their dazed expression, they immediately think that everything The Sun Champion has said makes sense. If we want to show them our power, the only thing we can do is conquer The Tower and get all the resources for ourselves. Once everyone realizes that everybody has light in their eyes for the limitless possibility of the future, it truly excites them all.

 

"Now my brother and sister polish your armor, sharpen your sword, in ten days we will go up and claim our rights," said The Champion with a voice full of passion and ambition "prepared well" With that one last sentence, the Champion goes to the car that has come to pick him up. goes to his home in full speed.

The entire square went bonker with that one last declaration by The Sun Champion. Everyone who hears the speech whether live or not, was filled with excitement and expectation.

 

after the speech, the already festivities atmosphere of The Tower became histeric with that announcement everyone feel the excitement, the expectation come from the speech but amidst all of that some of them still had fear in their heart, they fear what is unknown, what was ahead of them whether it be a good or bad only time will tell them.
