Chapter 3 - Basement

When Caleb arrive at the entrance of the basement he sees that it's locked so he decides to use his skill to try make a key for the lock

After a few minutes of trying he succeed in unlocking the entrance, he then goes inside the basement and the moment he enters the foul smell immediately make's him think twice before continuing to walk downstairs

"The smell is just so bad" he mumbles

A few moments later he arrives at the bottom and there golds and treasures that will make anyone rich was just laying arround everywhere but in the end of that place a demonic symbol is written with blood

"Did this hotel had a satanist owner?" Caleb asked himself

While Caleb is wondering what to do the demonic symbol starts to glow shocking Caleb that he decides to attack it with his inferior fireball but when the fireball got close to the demonic symbol a red small lightning came out from the demonic symbol and destroyed his fireball

"What kind of power is that" Caleb wondered at the sight of his skill being useless

"I need to do something as this might be dangerous" Caleb starts to imagine multiple skills to try creating a skill that can destroy or stop whatever the demonic symbol is doing

But after trying a plenty amount of skills nothing worked as every skills met the same fate of the inferior fireball

Caleb then decides to create another skill but this time he took some time imagining it hoping that it will create something that will stop the demonic symbol

"Holy blast" Caleb uses his newly created skill and this time the demknic symbol's red lightning wasn't able to destroy his skill but the demonic symbol suddenly have a barrier that blocks the holy blast

But Caleb didn't lose hope rather he believes that it's working so he continuously attacks the demonic symbol and after a few moments of a barrage of holy blast the barrier begins to crack

Slowly the crack got bigger and bigger and in just a few more holy blasts the barrier breaks and when Caleb sees it he began using holy blast more faster and when the holy blasts hit the demonic symbol it began disappearing

Soon the demonic symbol completely vanished giving Caleb relief that nothing dangerous happened so he begins going back up but before that he took a bit of treasures as the money might still have a value

While walking upstairs he hears his mother calling him so he starts rushing outside the basement and when he got out his mother arrives and sees him but the basement has already been locked again

"Caleb what happened to you? Your clothes are so dirty almost as if you had fought in a war" Caleb's mother said worriedly

To Caleb's surprise he completely forgot about the dusts that flew in him while destroying demonic symbol has dirted his clothes a lot

Caleb then went to his room to shower and clean himself from all the dusts that got to him and soon he's done and decides to go outside and take a fresh air after becoming tired from the continuous use of holy blast

"Can i kill those monsters in the blue tower?" Caleb suddenly ponder if he can defeat the spiders that are outside the blue tower

While Caleb is thinking about the monsters he's cellphone suddenly vibrate so he takes a look and sees that the government has uploaded a video

"A video? has the government made a place for everyone to stay?" Caleb then plays the video

In the video a well dressed man began speaking "Everyone i know that all of you is in great trouble about the disasters that has fell upon us, so we constructed a place to stay safely" the video then shows the surrounding

A well made buildings, clean pathways, huge cafeteria is being shown in the video but even with many buildings Caleb thought that this isn't enough to fit the entire population of the city

"It's magnificent right, But this can only hold about 15000 people so we made it that only talented people will be the one to live here" The man said

Caleb wasn't surprised by the amount of people that can enter but he's surprised by the recquirement to enter

"Does the government plans to destroy that tower?" Caleb wonders

"But shouldn't they just use bombs to destroy that so maybe it's not that but what could it be?"

After a few minutes Caleb just decides to go into the tower to see what has the government done to it "first i need to create a skill that makes me faster"

Caleb starts to imagine and make a skill that allows him to run fast so he can arrive at the tower before afternoon

"You have acquire the skill, Level 1: Wind dash"

Caleb immediately uses the skill and he immediately runs as fast as some car but unlike the car Caleb can take shortcuts in a alleyway

Soon he arrives at the blue tower in just half an hour and he sees that the spiders is gone and the place is full of a mark of an explosions

"It seems that bombs can't destroy the tower so the government is trying to make the talented people strong enough to go inside and fight the monsters" C
