Chapter 11 - The First Floor

These two words would be the most James would hear from gods, mystical beasts and rulers in the entire time he would be climbing the tower.

James, who had another question in mind at that moment, shook his head carefully and then said, "The first time I got a Unique achievement, unlike the other achievements, only one card fell in front of me as if someone wanted me to defeat the High Chimera." This question made Leyla smile as if it was a question she had never expected, and she revealed the following answer to James:

"You have attracted the attention of many of the Olympus Gods. Of course, you have the attention of many Gods and Goddesses, but Olympus is looking at you carefully. Hermes didn't want you to die let's say."

James smiled and said "I'm glad, they are the only gods you know something about from my world, although I do know something about people like Odin, but it's nice to have so much help...I should go now, I need to rest."

It was time to go, he wanted to go somewhere to rest as soon as possible because he realised that he could faint at any moment, and he did not want that.

That's why James, who had stood up, bowed his head and then said, "Thank you very much for your help and explanations, madam, I have learnt a lot thanks to you, I will try to live worthy of what I have learnt."

Hearing this, Leyla smiled and then said, "You are a good person James, but remember that not everyone can be trusted, never forget this while climbing the tower, goodbye for now. Let the destiny show us if we can meet again."

James shook his head and closed his eyes after these words, and Leyla, who stayed behind, said the following words:

"So this is the one you have chosen, Lord Chaos, since this is the first time you have personally summoned someone, the eyes of many gods will be on him, especially your daughter Nyx and your son Erebus, I hope you will not disappoint him and he will not disappoint you. He wants to rest, huh? There are very few places to rest in the tower, I hope he doesn't fall into the illusion and can live...."

James opened his eyes to find himself in a room. There was a bathroom in front of his eyes, a bed to his right and nothing else in the room, it was like some sort of recreational facility.

He immediately stripped off his armour and sent each of them to his inventory, throwing his belongings aside and jumping into the shower, turning the water on full blast.

After all he had been through, having clean water touching his body reminded him that he was alive, and at that moment, a window opened in front of his eyes:

"[Legendary Achievement Won!

 Get the attention of 1000 Gods.

 You get to choose a card.]

James closed all his private areas as soon as he read the window in front of him and then said "Gimme a break!", he was strangely embarrassed by the possibility that the gods were watching him.

Being chosen by someone like Chaos, as the administrator had said, had worked out in James' favour in an unbelievably gigantic way, because James had earned a Legendary achievement just for attracting the attention of the gods.

As James touched the card in front of him, a key formed in front of him and suddenly fell to the ground, he couldn't understand what it was, but as soon as he picked up the key, the window that appeared in front of him seemed to tell him what was happening:

[Catacomb Key (Legendary++)

 When this key reaches a certain number of fragments, it will lead the user to a mysterious dungeon with great rewards.

 To complete the key's extract, 3 copies of the key are required.

 Copies possessed are : 1/3]

James knew he had to finish his shower and go to sleep after all that had happened, so he quickly finished and got out of the shower.

He saw the thin clothes lying on the bed and then put them on and lay down on the bed, after only a few seconds his eyes closed and he fell asleep.

When James opened his eyes, he realised that everything was dark. He could feel his body, so there shouldn't be a problem from this side.

[Welcome!

 Congratulations on finishing the tutorial, Mr James Arthur Black. We are honoured to inform you that you have arrived on the first floor of the tower. I am Emma, one of the tower's sub-administrators, and it is my job to let you know what is going on. From now on I will be responsible for every window that is sent to you except for special occasions, I am proud to say that I want to get on well.]

James rolled his head as he read the window that had suddenly appeared in front of him and asked worriedly, "I thought this was a resting place, what's going on?"

[This is the first floor immediately after the tutorial, sir, it's called [sea of rascals]. This is known as the place where users and players earn their classes. 

 Players choose the path they want and go that way. It is best to be careful, though, as there are sure to be trials along the way. The more difficult the path you follow, the harder it will be to deny the deepest desires of your heart.

 Good luck!]

When James read the other window opposite, the place he had woken up suddenly lit up. He could clearly see that he was in the bed he had slept in. It was up to him where to go.

There was some kind of remote control on the bed, and on the remote control, there were 8 buttons. This button seemed to indicate which way to go.

When James pressed one of the buttons, he moved slowly to the right and his path was illuminated. When he pressed another button to go backwards, he realised that he was where he had just been, because nowhere else was illuminated and the illuminated path was extinguished.

It was a gamble, James thought, but he closed his eyes and then breathed deeply as he realised that there must be a clue.

James had to find the dangerous path.
