Ryan met the principal and submitted his application to withdraw. And he didn't report his skill. After withdrawing from the school he straight goes to the tower. In front of the tower stood so many people. Waiting for the tower to open. Ryan sat there. He saw there are many awakeners almost reaching 200 or so. More will be on their way too.
The countdown on the tower says another hour or so. Ryan bought few daggers specially for the tower. He waited there, Once you're in tower you'll not be allowed out until you cleared that floor. But there's an alternative to exit the tower you'll need a exit stone to get out of the tower while beating a floor but you must be in a safe zone and not in battle to use the exit stone. There is an advantage in tower that is if you're in a party and one of your members beat the floor your group can go to higher floor.
And there are dungeons outside the tower too. You also need to clear dungeons sometimes to get more stats and all. As Ryan is thinking about the tower a team with some equipment came into his view. The descendants of awakeners if awakened has an obvious advantage. Although his parents are awakeners they're low ranked ones.
But for Ryan it doesn't matter. They looked after him well afterall. He lived a happy life with them. Ryan cracked his neck and looked at them. Of course you can't just bring high level equipment. There is a limit to the rank of equipment you can bring to the lower floors of the tower. D rank is the limit for the first floor. If you bring higher level equipment it'll be sealed by the tower until a floor that accepts it's rank is there. Generally lower floors from 2nd floor onwards have high rank equipment too like B or A grade in rare case but they're only found in the hidden layers of the floor.
Ryan only gazed at them for a second before turning away. All awakeners waited for the opening of tower. As it opened they rushed in one after another. Ryan looked at tower and walked forward. He entered the tower and looked at the jungle like environment.
At this moment the team with equipment holding a route and declaring," this our farm grounds. Go look for monster somewhere else ", Ryan looked at their team with frown.
Territory Declaration
Usually monsters in tower has this. They will mark their territory with their scent so no other monsters will move into the territory. Players also claimed their territories too. Just like monsters but to farm these monsters present in the zone. Usually the children of high level awakeners in society form their teams and brings equipment suitable for the floor and use it to gain levels and stats.
This isn't anything new. Ryan moved in a random direction of the forest. Anyway first floor has a huge jungle with many monsters. Ryan took out the daggers he got and moved forward. A rustle sounded in nearby bushes. Ryan kicked a stone at the direction while everything calmed down. Just when he is moving for arr three goblins jumped from the bush and ambushed him.
Ryan ducked and dug the dagger into the goblin's neck killing it. A strange energy which is only visible to him is seeped into his body from the goblin as it dropped ead while notifications appeared. But Ryan ignored them and dodged the attack of the goblin on right while attacking the goblin that jumped to stab him.
He dodged the stab and sliced the neck of the goblin before kicking the other one. He dug the dagger into the goblin's neck. Slicing it's neck he looked at the notifications:

Ryan looked at the rustling bush and grin appeared on his face. He picked up rock and threw it at the bushes. Goblins charged at him. Ryan ducked and stabbed a goblin at its backhead killing it instantly and then looked at the two goblins jumping air, he sidestepped and avoided them before stabbing one at the back of it's head and kicking the other that again jumped at him.
He ran forward and stabbed it's neck before slashing it again. Notifications appeared again :
