Chereads / Reborn In Tower Of God / Chapter 2 - Second Floor

Chapter 2 - Second Floor

"My Lady!!"

"Lady Yuri!!"

"Lady Yuri!!"

"Lady Yuri!!"

"What are you trying to do on the first floor?!" Evan Edrok kept shouting while running behind Princess Yuri.

"An irregular has stepped into the Tower!!"

"He has "OPENED" the gate "HIMSELF"!"

Responded Yuri while she continued running towards the first floor.

"What?!"

"Are you sure?!" Evan Edrok was shocked.

"Yeah! Someone did open the door!"

***

When Princess Yuri and Evan Edrok reached the first floor they did not see anyone except Headon.

"I knew the Princess would come running again when a new irregular arrived." Headon seemed to have expected the visit of Princess Yuri.

"Hey Headon, where is the new irregular?"

Princess Yuri was not in the mood for mind games.

"You are late Princess the irregular has already left for the Second Floor." Said Headon.

Yuri seemed shocked at how was a irregular able to clear the first floor so fast.

"Is the irregular a human or another species? And is he stronger than Baam?" Said Yuri.

"As impatient as always, Princess the answer to your first question is Yes he is a human and for the second question he is not only stronger than Baam but also stronger than Urek Mazino when he first arrived here," Headon said with a smile on his face.

"What!! How could he be stronger than Urek?!" Now, the new irregular had gotten her interest.

Meanwhile, our protagonist has arrived on the Second floor. When he opened his eyes he was lying on the ground surrounded by a huge grass field with the morning sun shining on him completely different from the gloomy first floor.

"This place is really like what they've shown in anime," He thought to himself as he looked out over the vast expanse of Wheat fields and rugged terrain. He couldn't help but marvel at the natural beauty of his surroundings, even though he had been teleported to this location for over 10 minutes now.

In the sky above, a colossal ship floated, emblazoned with the name "Evankhell." Directly below it, a cube-like object buzzed around, its purpose unknown. He knew from reading the first season of Tower of God that the tests on this floor were peculiar and perilous, but he had to participate if he wanted to ascend higher.

Suddenly, a girl's voice echoed through the wheat field, interrupting his thoughts. "Mic test! Mic test! One, two, three!" she shouted. "Hello everyone! All the Regulars who have made it to the Tower, we sincerely welcome all of you to the 2nd Floor, Evankhell's Floor. It is also called 'The Floor of Test' because here we carry out the final test to see whether you are qualified to go up the Tower."

He listened carefully as the girl explained the first test. "There are 400 regulars here. Narrow it down to 200. Try every means possible, and the test ends when the number of regulars reaches 200. Begin!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the sounds of battle and screams could be heard, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Suddenly, he noticed a disruption in the Shinsu flow from behind, like something was coming straight at him from a hill 400m away. He easily dodged it by tilting his head and looking at the hill to see who attacked him.

It was a man with a bow wearing a black cape. He had green skin and sharp teeth. "Hehe, let's see how you dodge this," he shouted from there and took another arrow ready to launch. But before he could, an air shockwave pierced his head.

He saw the number in his pocket reduce from 370 to 369.

After a few seconds, He realized that he had taken someone's life. He recalled that this wasn't the first time he had killed someone, but he felt no remorse. It may have been because of his new body or his view of everything and everyone as just part of the story. However, one thing he knew for sure was that his previous world's morality and principles about life wouldn't let him survive the test floor, let alone reach the top.

"I will build my morals and principles myself by living them," he concluded his thoughts and then began searching for two teammates for the next test.

He scoured the area, observing countless familiar figures in action, such as a humanoid crocodile chasing down two individuals, a lizard-like girl, and a swordsman in combat.

Suddenly, a group of four people lunged at him, he just sighed and moved so fast that he created exactly four afterimages and flicked his finger on their foreheads, ultimately resulting in their deaths. In total, he ended up killing 13 people in this manner.

Soon, the time limit ended, and a familiar voice spoke. "Everyone stay where you are! The first test is over now. Any Regulars fighting from now on will be eliminated!"

"To the 200 Regulars who passed the test, congratulations to all of you."

"It may seem a bit rushed, but a short second test will be carried out right away," the voice continued. "Your second test is simple: find two Regulars to be your teammates."

"We are giving you a five-minute time limit! If you don't make a team in five minutes, you are eliminated!"

"To be considered a team, you need to be touching some part of your teammates' bodies when the time limit is over! Good luck!"

He didn't hesitate and went all out this time in his search. After 3 minutes of searching, he found a boy with green hair and another boy next to him with brown skin and blonde hair. He wore a kimono with red trimmings, and the most noteworthy thing was a horn protruding from the right side of his head.

"Can I join you guys? I'm... Mazino." He used his last name to introduce himself and asked upon reaching them.

"My name is Jo, and in fact, I also had the same intention as you when I came here to ask him to be my teammate, but as you can see, he is sleeping," the blonde guy replied while smiling wryly.

"Oh, let's look for someone else then," He replied, knowing well that the sleeping guy could hear him and would join them because of his laziness to search for new teammates within 2 minutes.

As he guessed, the sleepyhead opened his eyes and sat up. "I'm in, and don't disturb me while I'm sleeping," he spoke without blinking. His focus is rather on him, the reason being unknown.

"You can call me Robin", he continued while yawning.

Mazino and Jo sat beside Robin, who had gone back to his dream. They touched his hair as he slept, annoyed. Two minutes passed in silence except for the snore coming from Robin. The second test finally came to an end with a loud shout echoing around the field.

"The second test is over!"

"The three people holding onto each other at this moment are considered a team. You will be sent to the next test spot."
