Chapter 4 - Players

Caleb then wanted to look inside the blue tower so he takes a peek at the small gap of the door of the blue tower

Inside there's more spiders and even eggs of the spiders but the inside is a plateau

Caleb is shocked by the terrain inside the blue tower since although the blue tower is huge but it's not wide enough for the terrain he's seeing

"What's with this tower really? Not only did it appear out of nowhere but the inside also expanded magically" Caleb said

"I should go back now as i might get caught in a air strike that's trying to destroy this tower" Caleb then swiftly runs back using his skill

After half an hour he got back at the hotel they are staying at and his arrival is just in time as his mother is done cooking their food

Caleb then went inside and soon they began eating and Caleb starts eating the foods fast making his mother surprise as she have never seen Caleb eat like he has never eaten

"You look hungry Caleb but shouldn't you slow down" the mother said

But Caleb is actually puzzled too as he didn't know why he's body is craving for food this much.

Soon Caleb is full, his body is also not tired anymore so he get's back at his room thinking about why he's body reacts like that to food suddenly

"Could it be because of my constant use of skills that my body reacted that way?" Caleb thought to himself

"I guess the body needs energy to use the skills but could i use the skillls if i don't have energy or will it only take effect when i find foods?"

After a few moments of thinking Caleb just decides to ignore this for now as he doesn't really always need to use his skills constantly

Caleb then looks out the window thinking about the blue tower more as he's very intrigued by how it works when suddenly a notification window appears in front of him

"All the Players will now be granted a gift"

Caleb was surprise that this is the time that people will get gift while he already got one a few days ago but he's also surprise that they will be called Players

"Since the people will now get skills, this would probably also create more chaos as this would give them the chance to use destructive skills and some other people might get a skill that will endanger the entire city" Caleb thought to himself

Suddenly Caleb remembered that the government made a place for only the talented people

"Could they have known that there are skills can be used to kill those monsters so they made it that only talented people can enter?"

"If that were to be the case then they might try to use the people to destroy that tower but im sure they don't even know what's living inside the tower" Caleb thought actually thinking that they should not go into the place that the government built

"But did they get a person that also got a skill much earlier or this is just a coincidence but what if they do know that this will happen" Caleb began thinking if the government has already know that this will happen

Caleb then use his cellphone to go into the social media but before he could see what's going on in the social media another window appears in front of him

"You have acquire the skill, Level 1: Lender"

[Description: This skill will allow you to lend Players skills as many as you want but the effectiveness of the skill is halve and you will lost the skill that you lended as long as it hasn't been given back by the Player that has been lended]

"Another skill? And this will allow me to lend skills but could i have created this before?" Caleb wondered if he can actually create this before

"Then what if i just create a skill that enhances skills so it can be stronger" Caleb thought

Caleb then starts to imagine and uses his skill but to his surprise nothing happened giving him the thought that his skill has failed to create the skill as it's level is too low

"So it can't create too overpowered skills, maybe that's because just like the fireball i created it didn't give exactly as what i wanted" Caleb said to himself

"I can't believe i only found this out right now, i guess im not really a person full of imagination"

Caleb then went out his room to see what's the reaction of his sister and mother

There he see's his sister is holding a colorful bird with majestic wings that covered her entire hand

"Brother look at this, i summoned it with the skill i got from a window that's just like in a game it's beautiful right" Alice said in a boasting way

Caleb notices her boastful demeanor but he just ignore that and asked what does she mean by summon

"Summon? Your skill allows you to summon a creature" Caleb asks

"Yes but i can only summon small creatures but still i can do summon so what skill did you get?" Alice asks

"Oh that it's a skill that lets me lend people skills" Caleb decides to not reveal the fact that he can create skills too

"That's what you got? Do you even have another skill so you can lend any" Alice starts laughing thinking that it's a useless skill

"Don't worry though brother since with me i can help you become a great player" Alice said laughing more

Soon Alice stops laughing and this gave Caleb to ask about the thing he's curious in the skill she got

"Is there other creatures you can create?" Caleb asks

"Oh there's 2 more that i can create but only one can be summon do you wanna see the greatness of my skill?" Alice said

To Alice's ignorance Caleb is just curious as to how the summoning works as he cannot imagine a summoning happening which doesn't allow him to create a skill for summoning

Soon Alice uses her skill creating a circle with complex symbols making Caleb remember the demonic symbol as the thing Alice created is just like the demonic symbol
