Chapter 2 - Awakening II

Allen looked at the temple that is giving sacred and powerful vibes. The angel spoke looking at them," welcome to the tower of apocalypse. Here you'll have the opportunity to grow to the level of gods. Anything and everything can be possible here. Where there is power, there are also risks like death. So if anyone want to quit this is your right time because once you become an awakener there are no turning backs. Even if you have to face and impossible opponent at stages you can only face them and can't run away. So now is your choice, awaken or leave ".

Many hesitated a little and some even trembled. A few wanted to leave already because of the seriousness of the angel. Seeing not many left the angel said," good this time children with some bravery are at least here. now to commence your awakening. Enter the temple of cosmos and follow it's guidence to get your inborn skill ".

The people are guided into the temple of cosmos one by one and then disappeared. After awakening they will be directly sent to the first floor of the tower. Then they're on their own. In this tower monsters aren't the only things you'll face. Greedy of other awakeners, invasion of demons in certain places or dungeons, assassinations etc.,

The tower is known for it's rise of criminal activity. Once a player dies he will be dead completely, So everyone needs to be careful. Allen moved into the temple of cosmos too. As he gets into the temple of cosmos a window appeared. It's the status window that tower assigns to everyone.

Allen opened his eyes. He saw rainbow coloured lights flashing when he is being awakened and suddenly got struck by a huge golden ball. This is the sign of awakening. Allen looked at the window and said," status ", in the next second a status appeared in front of him.

[ Allen Knight ]

[ Title : Newbie Awakener ]

[ Age : 15 ]

[ Gender : Male ]

[ Stats : ]

[ Vitality : F(10/20) ] [ Stamina : F(10/20) ]

[ Inborn skill : Soul Devouring(SSS) ]

[ Skills : None ]

Allen is amazed to see the skill - soul devouring and opened it. Immediately a description appeared in front of him :

[ Soul Devouring(SSS) : The soul devouring is a skill that captures and consumes the souls of deceased. The consumed souls will give a part of their strength to the user and the user can choose a skill they have. This is a unique skill that cannot exist in two parties at once. As the possessor of this skill your soul will be protected from certain type of soul attacks and even negates soul gazing ]

Allen gulped when he saw the description. He has a sss level skill. He put on a poker face and didn't say anything. He is teleported into the jungle directly. There is a green dome protecting them. This is the safe zone. Every floor will have a safe zone but it's time for the user's will also be restricted.

You can only stay in the safe zone if you're willing to face the challenges of the tower. If not you'll be kicked out of the safe zone and forced to climb the tower. Allen looked around, everyone is excited and some even are bold enough to say their skill trying to recruit people and team.

Just then Allen felt a prying sensation before it vanished. A red window appeared immediately with warning sign :

[ Soul gaze negated ]

Allen looked like he didn't see this. Whoever this person is must be near and vigilant. He needs uo be careful not to alert them and fool them into knowing the purpose. So Allen acted like he don't know anything and appeared like he can't sense the attack and only negate it.

He looked at the pouch. This is given to every awakener at the beginning and only the awakened can access their pouch whole other awakeners can't. Inside there two tokens. One is for the basic weapon and the other is for the basic skill.

In a few minutes this will be a mayhem and Allen needs to be careful.
