Chereads / Tower Of Immortality / Chapter 4 - Tower of Immortality

Chapter 4 - Tower of Immortality

As the administrator ran as fast as he could, he reached his destination in seconds.

He was atop a mutated giant that was just about to collapse.

When it fell down to the ground there was no one to be found around the giant as everyone had already run from fear that they hadn't even noticed a giant had died.

It was either due to the constant running that they were just now mindless humans with the only thing they knew how to do was run. Or that there were too many giants to even notice one gone.

The administrator looked inside the mutated giants body to check on what really happened.

And to his surprise two humans were inside the giant beside his heart and in between his lungs.

The administrator used his powers and lifted the two out of the body by forcefully dragging them out and making the mutated body stay put to the ground.

This made the two feel so much pain and destroyed their entire bodies just like the first time they died from the steps of the giant.

But the administrator didn't even stop just because of this change. Even with the splattered body pieces of the two, the administrator just used forced to pierce through the tough body of the mutated giant.

After a while a little more pressure that made crater at the ground, the two were finally pulled and they started getting reshaped back into humans.

"Fucking parasites."

The administrator looked as the two regenerated and when the two finally got all their pieces back together. The administrator had a good look on their faces and dropped them to the ground.

And so the administrator then proceeded to announce that the tutorial was finally finished.

The administrator waved his hand and all the mutated giants disappeared into thin air.

The administrator held in his frustration and surprise and announced the completion of the tutorial in his enthusiastic personality.

"Congratulations Everyone!"

Many humans crumbled to the ground with tears of joy and fear all together.

"I personally think 87 days is far too short, but I guess if you guys are that good."

People cried. And instead of the screams that were heard from the start, the screams have turned from anger to tears.

"Oh shut the fuck up people! Stop crying! You think you're done!"

The administrator gave up on keeping positivity from the people who have seen no light for almost a hundred days.

"Oh you're all just getting started!"

The administrator didn't give anyone any time to relax. And so he smiled and flicked his finger extravagantly.

Everyone was then teleported to another space.

Many people or to be precise 1000 different humans stood up high in the sky inside an invisible box.

And so the humans started to complain again. But this time they were so mentally tired it didn't even last for a minute.

Everyone just laid on the ground and accepted their fate. It was that they were in hell. The eternal suffering of death. That was hell.

"Welcome! To the first floor of the tower! Below you is the main objective of the first floor."

Below everyone was a weirdly shaped area that is cut by an invisible barrier that made everyone see an endless white void at the edges.

The shape of the area was three squares altered to look like a diamond shape and all three were connected at each vertices.

At the top was a place covered with lava and black rocks with a single volcano that was constantly releasing lava to the ground.

And at the bottom was just an entire sea that just stops flowing due to the barrier placed.

And at the middle of the two was a ground of plain threes and ground with a huge crater dug up on but an entrance in the middle of the crater.

"But of course there is also one above you!"

And above everyone even though they were already placed at such a high point that it was already hard to even see the bottom.

Directly above the huge crater was the crater itself floating in the sky. No one could see what was on it and so the administrator finally ended his talking and told everyone the main quest of the floor.

"This is the tower of Immortality, and I think all of you know what a tower is. Climb to the 100th floor and you'll get back to reality."

"It really is just that simple."

"And so for what everyone was waiting for."

A screen appeared in front of everyone that displayed one thing in it.

[Climb The Tower As High As You Can Until The *** ** ****]

[85440:00:00]

"The timer starts as soon as I drop everyone to the ground."

Hearing this everyone was surprised. But some already expected it just by looking at where they were.

Seeing the screen made everyone wonder what the censored part was about. But before they could delve into it deeper, the administrator made another screen appear in front of everyone.

[Alfred T. Drac]

[43 Years Old]

[Regenerative Speed: 10]

It was a simple character screen with an image of the person with his name below it and then the age and a regenerative speed stat.

It wasn't the type of status screen anyone expected.

"And so for floor 1 please look at the quest screen."

Another screen appeared in front of everyone. But before anyone could read it, the administrator dropped everyone.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

***

I was dropped to the pits of hell and my body started burning to death. I couldn't swim as the lava was just too dense for my body to even move. And so before I even get deeper into the lava.

I endured the pain and threw a finger out and directly regenerated there.

"God damn! Is that how burning instantly fucking felt like."

"Alfred!"

Yuri was running towards me as he waved his hands while his feet were burning from the high degree of the basaltic rocks of the floor.

"I told you not to call me that!"

[Yuri A. Cadrigal]

[18 Years Old]

[Regenerative Speed: 10]

"But that's your name."

"Let's get out of here first!"

We were on the edge of the fire area just close to the grassy place with a huge crater.

I didn't want to feel burning pain in my feet as I talked so we ran to the middle of the first floor.

There were a lot of people that I could see all running towards the middle. And as far as my eye could see, there were also people falling to the crater.

From the sky the entire map looked so small but as I looked at it from the perspective of the ground, the volcano was so large I would believe it if that was bigger than Mt. Everest.

And so we reached the middle and our feet could finally relax on grass.

"So what do we do now Alfred!"

"You brat!"

I punched Yuri and he fell to the ground.

"Ahahahaha!"

And so I sat as he stood and sat on the grass.

"Well first we need to find clothes."

"Shouldn't we learn what the censored part meant."

"I already calculated it."

"And you think I didn't."

"Shut up, we have 10 years for that."

"But why clothes."

"Just a few days ago you were complaining about how hard your-"

Yuri blocked my mouth.

"Ok, ok, we are getting clothes then."

"You're just too young, boy."

"Yeah yeah."

There were multiple trees in the middle area that didn't even fit together. And so because of that there was also a banana three that I was thinking could suffice as some clothing for some time.

"We are wearing this?"

"What? You don't like it?"

"..."

"Do-"

"I like it very much! Let's go to the middle now!"

Yuri ran to the middle, to the direction of the crater.

After spending multiple days with him inside a beast we got closer and as I accepted this reality so did he.

And just like how I had no reason to go back to earth neither did he. And that made me think that just from my gut feelings. Everyone looked like they were all the same. They were just like us, people who had no reason to ever go back to earth.

"You think you can outrun me huh."

"Yes I could!"

"After checking this thing you know what we need to do next."

"Yes, you told me so many times already."

We reached the crater and it only took a few minutes.

"Shit this is deep."

Said by Yuri.

"Wanna go in?"

I said to Yuri as I looked at the crater I couldn't even describe just how deep it really was. All I could understand was that it was enough to fall a whole minute.

Oh and that a lot of people were pushing others in and it was obvious that it was really deep.

"Well... it's kinda too deep."

"So let's go!"

I pushed Yuri to the crater.

"Fuck you Alfred!"

And I then jumped just right after.

"I told you not to call me that!"

It didn't take long till I could feel the exact pain I thought I got used to.

I dropped to the ground and bounced off again and again destroying all my bones in the process. But as my regeneration was much faster now I couldn't fully die but just constantly have broken bones and heal as soon as I bounce off the ground.

But this didn't lance as the velocity then just made me roll on the side and eventually got unlucky and thrown off directly to the middle.

As I flew I could see many bodies just all losing limbs and just some limbs rolling on their own.

And as I looked at Yuri, he was laughing at me while his face got crushed and his teeth fell off.

And so once again I was splattered to the ground but this time no lava was there to act as just a little cushion.

"That leaf was absolutely useless."

When Yuri finally made it down he was holding below him.

"..."

"It hurts okay, I don't mind my body or face but fuck it hurts on my dick!"

"Hahaha!"

I laughed at Yuri as he removed his hands. And so for the first time in a long long time. Another person finally spoke to me.

"Hello..."

A woman tapped me from behind and as I looked at her, I immediately looked at Yuri and saw he was blushing and so I smirked at him.

"It's because of the pain!"

"And that?"

"Fuck you penis!"

***

In the white room that was as bright as an office, as the two same people sat, a man entered from the door to the edge of the room.

"Administrator Khan!"

"What brings you here."

Said by the two sitting on the chairs.

"Can I see the list of applicants for my tower."

Khan took a chair and sat at the other side of the table.

"Has someone caught your eyes."

Said by one of the two.

"Someone cleared my tutorial."

The two were shocked.

"Tell me the name now!"

"Yuri Cadrigal... and Alfred Drac."

The two scavaged through their multiple stacks of paper on the ground.

"Found it, look."

One of the two men said to the other one.

"Oh my god."

"Khan, I think you need to talk to him about this."

"It's that... what!"
