Cha Yeon Woo, in fact, had recently entered the tower for revenge for his brother. He was here to avenge those who betrayed his brother. He encountered Edora and Phante in the tutorial and became friends with them. Now, he's on the first floor and plans to collect all the keys and obtain one of Olympus's treasures. But before that, he feels someone watching him. He looks around but doesn't see anyone, yet he feels increasingly uneasy. This gaze makes him feel bad, as if he could be killed at any moment, but his calmness skill keeps him composed. He didn't expect to use this skill like this.
Edora and Phante were planning to enter the first floor now. They plan to collect all the keys, and currently, they only have the Zeus key. There are hidden keys on each floor of the tower, so they shouldn't make a single mistake.
Since entering the tower, Cha Yeon Woo has made friends with many people. Just as they were about to start climbing the tower together, a message arrives.
[Theo, the God of Destruction and Creation, wants to talk to you.]
[If the player accepts, they will be teleported there.]
[A message has arrived.]
[Message: Player Cha Yeon Woo, don't you want information about your brother?]
Cha Yeon Woo freezes because he was initially going to refuse, but the message implies that he knows something about his brother. Also, the fact that it's from the God of Destruction and Creation is shocking. How can one person be both the god of destruction and creation? But after considering the information about his brother, Cha Yeon Woo decides to respond.
Cha Yeon Woo: "I need to go somewhere. I wish I could take you, but the place I'm going is dangerous."
Edora: "Let us come with you. We can help."
Cha Yeon Woo: "Please understand. It'll only take an hour. Please wait at a café, and then we'll climb the tower together."
Phante: "Are you sure you don't need help?"
Cha Yeon Woo: "Yes, I'm sure."
As Cha Yeon Woo is about to say something, Phante grabs him by the shoulder.
Phante: "Let's wait Edora, he won't leave us forever."
Edora: "Okay, let's go."
Cha Yeon Woo accepts the meeting request. Currently, they are teleported to the front of a palace where two dark knights, nearly five meters tall, stand guard. They look at Cha Yeon Woo, then escort him to the palace's door.
The door opens on its own, and two guards wait for Cha Yeon Woo to enter.
Once inside, he sees a tall man with red hair sitting on a throne. When Cha Yeon Woo enters, the man smiles.
Cha Yeon Woo feels fear like never before in his life. He wants to run without looking back, but he cares about the information this man will provide.
When the entity starts talking, Cha Yeon Woo hears a voice as if millions of people are speaking at once.
He hears only one thing: "Kneel."
Cha Yeon Woo immediately kneels down.
Then, the man speaks.
Entity: "Hello, human. I am Theo, or you can call me Antares if you wish. So, you've come for information about your brother, haven't you? But nothing is free in this world. There are just mutual benefits. You may not trust me, but that's okay. I'll trust you.
Anyway, you're here for Cha Jeong Woo, aren't you? Aren't you curious about the watch in your pocket?"
Cha Yeon Woo's eyes widen. How did this man know?
Cha Yeon Woo, trembling: "Yes, sir. Please tell me about my brother, and I'll do anything for him."
Theo: "I know. That's why I called you. I want to give you the position of Apostle. But you'll refuse, so let's make a deal. I'll give you a power beyond your imagination, and you can take revenge on those who killed your brother. Since I'm the most powerful being in this tower, my wish is chaos and death. The more chaos and death you cause, the more I'll give you information and power. I'll tell you true name of the Vigrid sword. Do you know how to break the curse on vigrid? What about the watch you have? Why can't you see any information?"
Cha Yeon Woo considers whether to accept or not. After all, the Apostles are very important in this tower, but he can't accept it now. Other gods will keep an eye on him, and it's not easy to make a deal with a god, especially if what he says is true.
Cha Yeon Woo: "Okay, I accept the deal, but I have conditions."
Cha Yeon Woo know what meaning of puts conditions when making deals with gods . Most gods would kill him, but instead, this man laughs. His smile is terrifying.
Theo laughs: "Hahahahhahaha, good. Just as expected. It's good to be cautious. But don't distance yourself from those who value you, especially those single-horned edora and phante. Okay, what are your conditions?"
Cha Yeon Woo takes a breath because he's afraid he might die.
Cha Yeon Woo: "I want you not to interfere with my quest for revenge, and stand by my side. In return, I won't hesitate to spread fear and death as you wish, but I won't kill any innocent people in my way."
Theo: "Good. I knew that.
Now, I'll give you my blessing. It'll be painful so be ready.
Theo puts his hand on Cha Yeon Woo's head.
[The God of Destruction and Creation gives you his blessing.]
[You're the first person to receive this blessing.]
[You'll receive an additional 200,000 karma.]
[All your stats will increase by 100.]
[Thanks to the blessing, your power will increase 20 times faster.]
[The effects of Batorhy's Vampire Dagger has increased. The player can gain more stat.]
[The growth of the Dragon Body will be faster.]
[Get ready, player.]
After receiving the blessing, Cha Yeon Woo starts writhing on the ground because he feels like he's dying. He's afraid because he gained too many stats at once, and this blessing will only grow over time,Theo was planing to give him more. But Cha Yeon Woo can only handle this much for now.
After 15 minutes of lying on the ground, he gets up, and Theo heals him.
Cha Yeon Woo: "Thank you for helping me, but can I learn somethings about my brother now?"
Theo: "Oh, you're to fast. You haven't even helped me yet. I gave you my blessing, so you'll become stronger, but each time you evolve, you must give me half a liter of blood. It's not that difficult. And you'll receive information about your brother on the 20th floor. Now that I've strengthened you, don't forget to learn martial arts and avoid the All for One.he'll destroy you."
Cha Yeon Woo: "As you wish, sir."
With the agreement in place, a symbol appears on Cha Yeon Woo's left chest; it's the emblem of the Gremory House. The reason for placing this symbol is that the more Cha Yeon Woo kills and terrifies, the more fear and negative emotions will empower Theo because Theo possesses the power of the Scarlet King, and fear can further enhance his power. But why should Theo exhaust himself with this?
Cha Yeon Woo will work for him. After all, there's no better place than the tower to gather fear. Every day, thousands die in the tower.
So, Theo has the advantage in this regard. Theo turns to Cha Yeon Woo and says,
"Don't believe in gods and they promise; you'll end up being their puppet. I'm not like them, but not everyone is like me. Be careful."
Theo smiles and continue to say.
Theo: "Good job. Now, prove yourself, and show me that I'm not wrong. When you find divine energy along with demonic energy, combine them, and you'll evolve. It's not just about your brother; there are things you don't know about your mother. Now go and prove yourself."
Cha Yeon Woo gave he's gratitude to theo and says.
Cha Yeon Woo: "Thank you, sir for everything."
With that, Cha Yeon Woo leaves the palace.
cha yeon woo not regretting what he did.
but before leaving saw a dragon and he can feel power of this dragon,this dragon can kill alone a pantheon with this cha yeon woo is now understanding how this man it's powerfull.

And then he teleported and meets Edora and Phante. It's time to start climbing the tower, especially now, with their new abilities.
