The tension in the air worsened and neither of the two could do anything to get out of it. “What does it mean?” Isabella cluelessly observed it, her body trembling as she did. "I have no idea what it means.” "You think you are smart?” The shadow demon poured out as it reached a striking distance between it and Alex who was patiently waiting for the Immobilization effect to die down. "I don't know what you are or what the hell you want but you're doing nothing to me.” "Is that so…" [[ Domain Manifestation Has Entered A Cool Down State For 0.8 seconds ]] “Finally!” Everything returned back to normal. "Only 7 seconds remain for it to enact it again, and there's nothing we can do, our skill has been greatly debuff by the demon’s domain! I couldn't even expand mine if I wanted to.” Isabella explained as she panicked at the sight of the shadow demon. [[ Field Of Divine Healing And Enhancement Has Been Nullified ]] [[ Skills cannot be exacted Within the Domain Of t
~ Death is inevitable, If you are prone to die at a certain point then there's no way you can outrun it. Although, that was what we thought. “Hey! Alex, wake up!” Cheating death is possible, “Wake up!” But only by certain methods that are best known to the system. Alex's eyes opened as his ears welcomed the soothing voice of a familiar presence around him. “Argh…” He sat up and rubbed his head. “Thank God you're awake.” The familiar voice spoke again and Alex couldn't help but look up to see Isabella. The world might have been reset, but there are things that will remain absurd to the human mind. Such as the system. “Isabella…is that you?” “Of course it's me.” She sighed and helped him up on his feet. They were both donned in a cream round neck top and a pair of long black pants and fitting boots. “wo… where are we?” “That's what I would like to know as well. I ended up here a few seconds ago and so did you. Well, I ended up here and saw you
The fight started with Alex charging in like a bull with his shield forward. Isabella stood there for a bit watching Alex ram the goblins like bull. He smashed through them and swerved two of them into the ground, he swiftly turned and cleaved the head of an approaching goblin. [[[ You Have Killed.

Liam’s POV Dad wanted me to go on a business trip I didn't quite fancy. I was already tired from helping Dad with the business, I was still young and begging to have a life, instead of being a slave to my dad's desires. Sure, he wanted me to grow big and become independent, he wanted me to be infact, everything that he could never be, but yet… what is it that he isn't yet, he's so wealthy, successful and influential, and surprisingly I don't want any of it, i just want to live a a life and be free from his torture. Recently, I started playing this online global game called Eternal Tower Online… It wasn't bad at first but I believed it could have been better if I wasn't so stacked with Dad's crazy wishes. There was barely any time to keep playing and winning rewards, in-game rewards to be exact. I had even joined a clan and thankfully I haven't been kicked out yet because of my inactivity. It was just recently we reached and cleared the 99th floor. We agreed to continue
Alex’s POV A daily quest, We all thought it was going to be usual, accept certain rewards but this, it was kind of, different. “You have got to be kidding me.” Isabella lamented, She then looked from the screen to me, “so do you understand any of this?” Although it was clear, she just had to ask the obvious. “Seems to me the system changed the format of daily quests” Daily quests were usually based on acceptance of either mana, EXP, gifts and the like, but the system gave us something different and perhaps, something that might be hard to accomplish. ~Ring!

Alex sighed. “... Th
Alex's POV CONT’D “ I guess we aren't done just yet.” I announced and examined our surroundings. Alex then triggered the Quest window for further clarification. ~ []Daily Quest: Trials Of Magical Ruins Of Ana []Quest Objectives: Navigate and find the three ancient rune stones which will in turn unlock the final piece of the quest. []Note: Failure To Accomplish Daily Quest Will Result To A Great Penalty Of The Party. ~ Alex heaved a sigh and said, “... A final piece of the quest, I wonder what the final piece could be?” The system doesn't seem to want to give us any clues, not like it can actually give us clues anyways, but that would have been helpful since we are literally standing around doing nothing.” Just then, a sudden glow erupted from Isabella's pockets, the runestone. And why is she keeping them exactly? “Hey! Come back.” She voiced as the runes shot out of her pocket and dashed towards a straight narrow path. "Argh, it got away.” "No… it's
Alex's POV We returned from the daily quest after successfully completing it. Although, we faced a lot of casualties that were resolved the moment we stepped into the lobby. Completing the quest wasn't the hard part, the hard part was taking down the guardian and the fact we almost failed in completing the puzzle. That alone… would have been hell. It all started with Liam charging in as the guardian awakened and sought to attack us. The downside of this whole fight was the fact we didn't know what we were up against worsened it. But all in all, we were being passive after we saw what it could do. It mostly relies on spraying beans of concentrated energy at its prey, we were lucky to avoid that, even Isabella was fortunate to not get it. All I did was search for it blind spot. My shield was even destroyed in the process, its prehensile tail destroyed my shield on contact and took its chance to attack. But thanks to Liam and Isabella, I managed to escape before it
FOURTH FLOOR ~ STAGE FOUR MISSION TYPE : PREVENTION & SUBDUE. SUBDUE THE ARMY OF GOBLINS HEARING FOR NORTHEAST VILLAGE. [ Time: 2hr ] FAILURE TO PREVENT THE INVASION : DEATH. All three of them appeared on the grassy field that led to a village occupied by individual people, but old and young. “A prevention type mission…” Isabella thought. “So we are going to go against a couple of low level goblins, this should be easy as pie.” “Don’t be too calm about the situation…” Alex spectated carefully. “We can't be sure if they will be the same goblins we faced on the first floor… these ones could be just different and perhaps dangerous.” Isabella looked in despair. “Sigh, all I'm saying is, don't let your guard down… it's a prevention and subdued type mission. All we have to do is to make sure they don't get to the village.” “So are we going to just sit here and wait for them?” “No… we are moving ahead. If we wait for them to reach here then we are doing nothing bu
