Chereads / I'm getting too overpowered / Chapter 23 - Friend

Chapter 23 - Friend

After completing his quest, Ron planned to meet his friend who was living in Seoul, South Korea. Using every ounce of his energy, he started to run toward Seoul. But when he arrived at his friend's house, he found that his friend wasn't there. Without hesitation, Ron began searching for his friend, Meng Jun. He spotted Meng Jun's image on a wall with a missing notice, along with his contact number and address. Ron quickly returned to his own house, where Meng Jun was now staying.

When Ron arrived, Meng Jun didn't recognize him. Since becoming a Cultivator and transforming using the Kshatriya bloodline effect, Ron's appearance had drastically changed. He decided to break the silence by asking Meng Jun, "What are you looking for?"

Meng Jun responded defensively, "Who the hell are you to ask me?"

Ron smiled and said, "Well, I'm Ron—the one you've been looking for all this time."

Meng Jun didn't believe him and coldly replied, "Get out of this house."

To prove himself, Ron began revealing some of his secrets. Meng Jun was shocked and finally asked, "Ron, what happened to you? Did you go through some sort of trial? You look so strong and unbelievably handsome—and you've gained all this muscle in just a few weeks."

Ron calmed him down, saying, "Relax, sit down, and I'll explain everything you need to know. But first, there are things I need to handle."

Summoning the Tower Manager, Ron asked, "Is it wrong to tell him about the Tower and the challenges?"

The Manager replied, "There's no issue with that, as long as you don't mention the names of the Gods or their secrets."

Meng Jun, still bewildered, asked, "Who are you talking to? Is there something going on that I don't know about?" His curiosity was mixed with amazement as he observed Ron's transformation.

The Manager responded, "He can't see me, as he doesn't have the Tower's authority. Only challengers within the Tower can perceive me. But I'll leave now; you may share anything, except the Gods' names and the quests they've given."

Turning back to Meng Jun, Ron explained, "Right now, I'm actually a challenger in a place called the Tower. The Tower operates according to pure Dharma. It was once destroyed by a god but was reconstructed by him with a new set of rules, offering numerous opportunities for all challengers. I'm an exceptionally powerful challenger, taking on each floor with ease."

He continued, "I was on a mission, but I've been given a break for completing it. I can't say the God's name, but he's actually good-hearted. He even gifted me something perfectly suited to me. One day, I'm going to become a god myself."

Meng Jun started laughing, saying, "Sounds like a great story. Are you aiming to become a director or something?"

In response, Ron punched through the wall effortlessly, disappearing from Meng Jun's sight only to reappear right in front of him. This demonstration left Meng Jun thrilled, and he exclaimed, "Can I become like that? I'd love to do this too, though I have nothing to show right now."

Ron asked, "What happened with your job?"

Meng Jun replied, "Like you, I lost it because of the new boss. I was furious and asked why he fired me. He claimed a new employee with better skills and experience was replacing me. But he actually accepted bribes to exchange employees. When I complained to the board, they ignored it. The whole company's just a mess now."

Summoning the Manager again, Ron asked, "Would I be punished if I killed someone right now?"

The Manager answered, "You'll be punished if you kill a good person. But if you eliminate a bad one, you'll earn merits instead of punishment. The Tower always rewards good deeds and supports righteous people."

Ron isn't going to hide his strength infront of people on Earth. He is going to cause something major soon.
