Chapter 1 - Tower?

It originally was a very nice day in Teilo with the sounds of the leaves dancing in the wind, the children laughing, and merchants bartering to gain extra money.

"JOSUE!, get your motherfucking ass over here before I replace you" screamed Jack, "You think that just because I let you off easy yesterday; you think you can slack off?!

"no.." Josue tried saying back but before he could finish his sentence Jack had already thrown him out. This was the everyday life for him: work, get thrown out with barely any pay, and repeat.

"…This is so unfair.., why did I have to be poor.., why did I have to be weak.., and most lf all..; WHY AM I SO FUCKING LONELY!!!!!", he yelled at the sky only to get nothing in response. "I have to start going home since Tia is waiting for me to start dinner" he started walking home only to pass by everyday people enjoying themselves without a care in the world.

After finally reaching the house and going up the stairs he steadily opened the door only to be tackled and thrown onto the railing, almost falling 2 stories into the ground. "JOSUE YOU'RE BACK!", a little ball of pink was wrapped around him and celebrating like she had just accomplished the greatest thing in the world.

"Hey Tia, how have you been?" he asked whilr trying to regain his footing. "Good, I tried to make myself tacos but uhhh.." she said sheepishly while avoiding my gaze. "Hmm what happened?" "Well I kinda mighta accidentally blew up the bath tub and toaster" she said laughing and rubbing the back of he head. I paused collecting the information on what she just said and fainted.

The next thing I knew It was morning and time for work..again. "NOOOOOOOOO!!", only to hear a thud in response and and angry voice yelling "SHUUT UUP!" which I knew was from my sister. I quickly got ready and left to go see Jack and start my day of endless screaming.

It was 7 in the fucking morning and I was going to work until 8 at night, why is life so unfair? I reached my destination and walked in to see Jack and a few other co workers getting ready to start the day. But before I could clock in Jack grabbed me by the neck and threw me across the room making me fall into my fellow employees. They of course were angry and started to best me up because they knew I my skinny 6 foot self couldnt do anything about it.

After getting best up for 10 minutes they finally let me to but I could still hear the snickers of Jack and everyone else. I eventually got up and clocked in to begin my shift but the moment I did, explosions went off everywhere causing the ground to tremble, the air to vibrate, and fire to spread everywhere.

"What the hell is happening" I could hear the screams of everyone and saw people dying one after another by the fire and by getting crushed by debris.

I started to run towards the exit but with the injurys that I had just gotten, it was very tough to even get up let alone walk. But I managed to find the will power to limp towards the exit not caring about those that just tried to kill me.

"Al- Almost there" I was breathing heavily and could barely see; I was about to collapse before I heard a metallic sound go off. I looked up and—

"Did I die?" I tried looking around only to find nothing but pitch darkness.I decided to wait and find out if I was in heaven or something but a message appeared in gold Rank 99/100

I kept on looking at the messge trying to figure out what it meant only for another one to appear

Choose a skill:

- Teleportation

- Vibration

- Shadow

It seemed like it wanted me to pick one so I picked the one I was least familiar with and chose Vibration. It then showed me Level 1 and It just felt depressing to see that. I tried checking for anything else but nothing popped up. Sending to floor 2 in 59..58..57..56…it kept on counting down so naturally I started to panic still waiting for it to hit 0.

After what felt like an eternity the counter finally hit 0 and I was surrounded by a golden light; the next thing I knew I was in a forest with the only clue being whats in front of me.

Tower

- Floor 2

- Level 1

- Time until tower is revealed: 29 days
