On floor 70, the fight between Mingyu and the Blood Emperor has reached its peak.
Mingyu said,
"Why did you kill my parents, everyone just for power."
The Blood Emperor's eyes flash with anger, and he snarls at Mingyu in response. "Power is everything," he hisses.
"Without it, you're nothing. You're weak, pathetic, and easily crushed. I didn't kill those people for no reason. They were just tools to help me achieve my goal."
As the Blood Emperor finishes his response, he lunges towards Mingyu with a ferocious speed. Mingyu barely has time to react as Blood Emperor's sword comes swinging down towards him. Mingyu manages to raise his weapon just in time to block the attack, but the force of the impact sends him stumbling backward. The Blood Emperor laughs mockingly as he watches Mingyu struggle to regain his footing.
As he regains his balance, the Blood Emperor charges toward Mingyu with another attack. he dodges to the side just in time, and Blood Emperor's sword slices through the air where Mingyu once stood. Taking advantage of his momentum, Mingyu swings his weapon at him, but Blood Emperor parries with ease and counters with a swift kick to Mingyu's chest.
Mingyu stumbles backward, gasping for breath. The Blood Emperor takes advantage of his momentary weakness and lunges at Mingyu again, his sword aiming to impale him. Mingyu manages to sidestep his attack and strike back with a fierce blow, but Blood Emperor deflects it with ease. Mingyu weapons clash, sending sparks flying in all directions.
As the two continue their intense battle, Mingyu notices that the Blood Emperor seems to grow stronger with each passing moment. His eyes blaze with dark energy, and his movements become more and more fluid and precise. It's almost as if he's drawing power from the very air around him. Despite his increasing strength, however, Mingyu refuses to give up.
"Why, why, why, why just for power you kill everyone," said Mingyu.
"Then I will take your power to avenge all those innocent people and my parents."
The Blood Emperor sneers at Mingyu's words, "You think you can take my power? You are nothing but a mere mortal. I am the ruler of all that is dark and powerful."
As he speaks, his sword glows with an ominous red light, and the air around him seems to vibrate with dark energy, then clashes his sword with Mingyu.
Back to 20 years ago before the appearance of the Tower of Power. It was a peaceful life where people went to work in the morning and went back home late at night.
"How's the economy these days?"
"It feels a bit shaky. There have been a lot of issues related to inflation lately."
"Yeah, true. Inflation seems to be affecting everyone. Does it impact your job too?"
"Yeah, at work, the production costs have gone up recently, making things a bit tough and…"
Rumble, rumble, rumble
Many people panicked as there was an earthquake around Seoul, even though it was just a moment it felt like the surroundings had changed because out of nowhere was tower appeared, a tower with some eerie murals all over the tower.
After that, police and firefighters came to investigate the situation around the tower. Later, they came up with conclusions to block the area. Also, the tower didn't just appear in Seoul or South Korea everywhere around the world.
During that time, some people tried to sneak into the tower, even though some of them succeeded there were also some who were caught, and they spread the picture in front of the tower.
Some months later, after some protests and pressure from the people, the government came up with a conclusion to open the tower to the public with some strict rules being applied.
The reason why strict rules are being applied is because the people in the tower cannot come out until they clear the tower.
Day by day passes, even though it doesn't change the environment of the current world. As people live normally even though there was a tower that appeared out of nowhere around 6 months ago.
10 years had passed since then Kim Mingyu 21 years old, stood before the towering structure, he couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and trepidation. The dark walls loomed over him like a menacing giant and the intricate murals etched onto its surface told stories that seemed both beautiful and eerie.
"This tower holds the key to what happened to Mom and Dad. I can't let their murderer escape justice."
He took a step closer, and an inexplicable energy seemed to emanate from the ancient stones. The pulse of otherworldly power was palpable, almost urging him to ascend, to face the challenges that awaited him.
"I've trained for this. I won't rest until I find the truth."
As he began his ascent, the air around the tower seemed to hum with anticipation. Mingyu couldn't shake the feeling that every step brought him closer to the answers he sought.
As he approaches, he notices two stone tablets standing sentinel at the entrance. The first tablet provides information about the tower itself.
The tablet reads: "Welcome to the Tower of Power. Within these walls lies a labyrinth of challenges and mysteries, each floor more treacherous than the last. Those who conquer the tower will be granted unimaginable power beyond comprehension. But beware, for many dangers await those who dare to climb. Only by clearing the tower one can get out of the tower"
As Kim Mingyu reads the inscription, he feels a rush of excitement and fear.
He wonders what kind of challenges and mysteries lay ahead, but also worries about the dangers that await him. Nevertheless, he feels a strong desire to prove himself and climb the tower.
Mingyu turns his attention to the second tablet, which lists the top 100 rankers within the tower and the level of floor that they conquered. He notices that the highest ranked, a person named "Kira," has conquered up to floor 53 of the tower. Mingyu can't help but feel intimidated by Kira's achievement, but he also feels inspired to work hard and climb as far as he can.
