It had been a month since the world had been thrown into chaos by the appearance of the World Tower.
Governments had mobilized their best forces, gathering elite warriors, and strategists to enter the tower.
The participants were a representation of humanity's best, chosen for their skills, abilities, and resilience.
The tower had opened its doors to these challengers, promising power, glory, and untold challenges.
Unexpectedly, only about fifty percent of the assembled forces had managed to successfully pass the tutorial tower's trials and progress further.
Despite their elite status, some had chosen the higher difficulties—Hell and Ex—to prove their mettle, resulting in their untimely demise.
The tower was unrelenting in its challenges, and those who dared to enter its most difficult levels often paid the price with their lives.
Nonetheless, a significant number of the special forces managed to conquer the hard difficulties, and a few even triumphed over the Hell difficulty, demonstrating their exceptional strength, cunning, and teamwork.
The tower's first floor had transformed from an empty expanse to a bustling hub of activity. Tents, makeshift shelters, and campfires dotted the landscape, creating a semblance of order amid the chaos.
However, despite the participants' best efforts, modern communication systems were rendered useless within the tower's walls.
The tower seemed to defy the technological advancements of the outside world, isolating the participants within its mysterious realm.
As the number of participants increased, the first floor's expanse was divided into ten forces, each representing a different country.
Among these forces, a shockwave of surprise and intrigue rippled through the participants when they realized that two of the forces were not comprised of humans, but rather, of werewolves and vampires.
Initially misunderstood as monsters, the participants came to learn that these mystical beings were not only from Earth but had emerged from hiding due to the tower's appearance.
The presence of these supernatural creatures, though smaller in number, added an unexpected twist to the unfolding drama.
The werewolves and vampires, once relegated to myth and legend, now stood side by side with their human counterparts.
Their power was among the strongest, and their number of formidable players exceeded that of humans. In the human forces, a mix of D-Rank and a few C-Rank players, along with a hidden B-Rank player, were present.
Among the werewolves and vampires, a significant number of C-Rank players and a handful of B-Rank players could be found.
Yet, despite the differences in origin and abilities, a sense of unity emerged among the forces.
The emergency of the situation, the gravity of the tower's challenges, and the collective sense of survival overpowered any prejudices or rivalries that might have existed.
As the first month progressed, the participants spent their time organizing their forces, devising strategies, and adapting to the tower's unpredictable environment.
However, even amidst this unity, tensions brewed beneath the surface. The diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and aspirations of the participants occasionally clashed, creating ripples of friction within the forces.
The remaining goblin villages, now a symbol of the tower's challenges, loomed on the horizon.
Three of these villages were yet to be defeated, and the participants were already strategizing to overcome these trials.
Within the confines of Eldoria's force headquarters—a tent that served as a hub of discussions and decisions—leaders from different forces gathered to deliberate.
Among them were Astrid Bergman, the leader of Eldoria, and Alexander Greenleaf, the leader of Serenith.
Inside the tent's dimly lit interior, the atmosphere was charged with tension. Astrid and Alexander sat across from each other, their eyes locked in a silent exchange.
The stakes were high, and the Red Goblin Village's challenge was not one to be taken lightly.
"Our objective is clear," Astrid began, her voice echoing with authority. "The Red Goblin Village must fall. Its destruction will send a clear message to the other forces, showcasing our strength and determination."
Alexander nodded in agreement, his expression serious. "Agreed. The Green Goblin Village's fall was a spectacle, but now we must prove that it wasn't a fluke. The participants of Serenith are ready to lend their strength to this cause."
Astrid leaned forward, her gaze unwavering. "We need a strategic approach. The Red Goblin Village is said to have a more formidable defense and stronger magic. We cannot underestimate them."
"Indeed," Alexander responded. "Our mages have been preparing powerful spells, and our warriors are ready for battle. But we must also consider the possibility of other forces attempting to interfere."
The tension in the air was palpable as the leaders weighed the risks and potential outcomes. The Red Goblin Village was no simple challenge—it was a test of their combined strength and coordination.
"We'll need to coordinate with the other forces," Astrid said, her voice resolute. "I've spoken with the leaders of Mariposa and Celestia. They're willing to provide assistance if needed."
Alexander nodded, acknowledging the importance of solidarity. "Serenith's forces stand ready to join the assault. We've also discussed forming a joint strategy with Glaciera to exploit the weaknesses in the village's defenses."
As the two leaders continued to discuss their plans, a sense of determination and unity settled over them.
The challenges of the tower had brought these forces together, forging bonds that transcended their differences.
The tent's atmosphere crackled with determination as the leaders outlined their plans.
The Red Goblin Village's challenge was not one that could be undertaken lightly—it required a united front and strategic precision.
Their conversation was interrupted by a soft hum, and before them, a panel materialized in the air, illuminated with words that demanded their attention.
[Red Goblin Village]
[Red Goblin Village is one of the four goblin villages on the first floor]
[Red Goblins are known for their brutality, preferring violence and chaos].
[Destroy the Red Goblin Village to fulfill a certain condition]
[Kill Red Goblins: 0/1000]
[Kill Red Goblin Soldiers: 0/100]
[Kill Red Goblin Mages: 0/10]
[Kill Red Goblin King: 0/10]
The words hung in the air, a stark reminder of the challenges that awaited them. The leaders exchanged a knowing look, understanding the gravity of their mission.
With a shared resolve, they rose from their seats. The time for planning was over; now was the time for action.
And so, the forces of Eldoria, Serenith, Mariposa, and Celestia converged near the Red Goblin Village, their ranks a testament to unity forged amidst the chaos.
The air was charged with tension, anticipation, and a sense of purpose. As they readied themselves for battle, the fate of the village—and the success of their mission—hung in the balance.
At this moment, alliances that had transcended boundaries were put to the ultimate test.
Four forces, each with its unique strengths, had come together to confront a common enemy.
The Red Goblin Village awaited its fate, its defenders oblivious to the storm that was about to descend upon them.
And so, with hearts filled with determination and swords unsheathed, the participants of Eldoria, Serenith, Mariposa, and Celestia advanced toward the village, prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead.
As they moved forward as one, the echoes of unity reverberated through the air, a testament to humanity's resilience in the face of the tower's trials.
The battle for the Red Goblin Village had begun.
