A man with pitch black hair and black eyes that absorbed the light around it was sitting on a throne ,he raises his hand

Cracks started to appear around it and his hand crumbled in to fragments

"Go"

The fragments floated and spread into different golden strings

Seeing this the man smiled

"I wonder how it will go this time"

****

A 17-year old boy with black hair and black eyes was sparing against a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes in the middle of the ground in the evening

The black hair boys name was Alex and the blondes name was Greg

*Alex POV*

I threw a right punch to conner him but he spined to avoid my punch and kicked me in the face

I lost my balance and fell down

"Hey, are you alright"Grey said

"Yeah" I said tiredly

I lay on the ground and started to breathe slowly to calm my racing heart down

"This is my third win"

"After losing two times,so yeah congrats"

"Hehe"

A laugh came from the trees and I looked at towards it to find a girl sitting on the branch

"Why are you here,Claire"

"Because I want to be"

'Sigh this girl'

"Well I will be going now"

I got up and started to walk away

"Where are you going "Greg said

"Home"

"Be careful"

I just waved at them and left

***

I entered home to find it empty

"Sigh ,their not home"

I showered and sat on my bed looking at the mark that appeared two days ago on my hand

It indicates that I am chosen by the tower ,the same tower I grew up in

My village is located on the first floor in a remote place , we never had much contact outside the village except for a few people

Out of everyone in the village only seven people were selected I am worried that my father and sister will be alone after I am gone

I trained and hunted beasts every day for the past year after the mark appeared to increase my odds of surviving in the tower

Tomorrow is the day I and many others will start their journey of climbing the tower gaining power and wealth

I layed down on my bed to sleep but it was hard with all sorts of thought running through my head

***

Creak ,swing

The front door opened and two people came through it a little girl and a man around his thirties

"Papa is brother home"

"Maybe but its your bed time"

"I don't wanna I want brother"

I listened to the voice of my sister and fell asleep

***

I woke up around 5:30 am and got ready

When I walked out of my room I found my father standing in the kitchen and making breakfast

"Father good morning"

"Your up"

"what are you making"

"Just cooking something to eat,don't worry and sit down"

"..."

"...."

The silence was broken by my father his voice somber

"It been three years since your mother passed away and after her death you were the one who kept this family"

"Its not true without you I couldn't have done anything"

"...I was a broken man after her I am proud to have a son like you"

We discussed for hour and finished our breakfast

"Alex come with me "

I followed him to his room and he picked up a small box and gave it to me

I opened the box to find a silver ring with a blue stone on it

"It was your mothers ring "

".....why are you giving it to me"

"It was your mothers wish"

"Mom?why would she"

"It was her wish for you the give it to the one you love"

"I see,I will keep it safe father"

I hugged my father and turned to see my sister one last time before I go but the tower had other plans and I was suddenly transported to the plains with other players

[Welcome,chosen participants to the tutorial]

A window popped in front of me

"Welcome,chosen participants to the tutorial"

I looked toward the place where the voice was heard just to find a floating eye with white wings

'what is that and where am I'

"This is the place that will test you whatever you are worthy of climbing the tower or not"

"What "

"Why am I here?"

"Where is this"

"Ahh"

"I don't wanna be here"

The floating eye saw the ones making the noise , its eye glowed green and the guys that were making the noise was gone

"Now that the noise is gone I will start the first trial , and here is a tip don't open your eyes and walk straight"

I was teleported in another space before I opened my eyes I suddenly remembered the tip of the floating eye and started to walk straight with opening my eyes

I started to feel danger was coming closer to me the more I walk

The more I walked the more the feeling of danger grew I stopped and decided to trust my gut feeling and opened my eyes

First i was blinded by the light after some time my eyes adjusted to the light and I found myself in a white room

I saw others walking with their eyes closed and fell in to random holes in the floor I saw a hole few feet's away from me

I looked up to find floating weapons not close to the ground I didnt have anything to get them

"Congratulations for surviving the first trial"

The floating eye materialized in the air

"Now for your second trial grab one of the weapons "

The holes in the floor disappeared and I walked towards a sword that was within reached and grabbed it

Suddenly I felt the force of gravity pull me down as there was no floor beneth me anymore

Hahahaha

I fell down the hole that appeared beneath me I looked at the Laughing floating eye with rage

I tried not to scream as I saw that i was falling down from above the clouds
