“We got to the last floor!” “Don’t be too excited about it tho…” “Come on bro! But we're literally here!” “Can you guys keep it down?”, a youth with curly hair and brown eyes took off his headphones as he gestured to the other bodies in the room to quiet down a bit, “If my mom wakes up, then it's game over.” “Right.” A girl in a yellow tank top and black shorts seconded. The two other males in the room nodded in response while the last girl could only remain silent while internally agreeing to the matter. “So, we are at the 100th floor, what's next?”, queried the girl in a yellow tank top as she laid her headphones on the ground. “We go through the gates and conquer whatever that's beyond it.”, The boy with curly hair retorted with a shard of determination. “I don't know about you guys but it would be kinda nice if we continued some other time.” Liam, the other boy in a blue hoodie voiced out a bit as his eyes read through the sms he received. “If I don't get going then I'm will miss curfew.” “I thought you missed curfew already?”, the boy with curly hair turned back at him. Liam raised a brow, which in turn looked as though he was pissed by what the former had said. “He probably received a threat message from his mom…” The girl in a yellow tank top teased, which only resulted in an all around laughter but the boy with curly hair didn't join in. “Ah-ha, really funny.” Liam muttered through his clenched teeths, “I will see y'all tomorrow”, he uttered as he immediately exited the turquoise room. “Okay guys, we have got to see what is beyond the gates on the 100th floor” the boy with curly hair announced as there wasn't any sound of footsteps within range. “Wouldn't it be better if we all went in tomorrow when Liam is around? Remember it requires a party of five players to get in.” “Well, c’mon Isabella, we don't need Liam for this, besides, we are not going to actually play, at least let's know what we are up against.” The girl with long black hair pointed at the screen as an extra layer of information popped up, “Uhm…Alex, what's that?” Alex immediately turned back to face the large screen TV, his eyes glued to the message that had popped up. [ Congratulations on reaching the final floor of The Eternal Tower] [ 100th Floor Has Been Unlocked ] [ Party Is Allowed To Proceed With Or Without All Members ] [ Proceed: Y/N ] ‘ Eternal Tower Online has been one of the top grossing games in existence, well it was, for some. ’ ‘ People who got the hang of it, people who obtained unraveling fame and power through the game made it feel as though only the rich could play this game. ’ ‘ Believe me, they made it feel as though, without cash, this game would be useless to those who wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. ’ ‘ But me and my friends… we didn't back down.’ “As much as I really want to see what threat lies beyond that gate…” The girl with black long hair got up from the porch, “. . .I have to go home and get myself something to eat and my mum has been sending a lot of texts, so I have got to go, bye!” The door slammed closed.. Liam and the other girl had already gone home leaving Alex, Isabella and the other guy in a black sweater. “I guess I'm going to have to head home too. It was fun grinding the tower, but I guess we should stop here for now. My old man said in a text earlier, "I have got to respond to that.” “Oh, alright then, good night.” Alex uttered dolefully as he watched the other guy leave. Now it remains Isabella. “Well…” “If you're gonna leave like them, then just leave.” Alex sighed heavily as he wore his headphones, “I’m just going to watch some movies till I fall asleep.” Isabella struggled to hold a smile before she also got up. She picked her purse and walked over to where Alex was and squatted beside him. “You’re gonna be alright. I know you wanna complete Eternal Tower Online but you have to give it a rest. You have to…tomorrow, we continue and we say goodbye to the fucking tower.” “Sure thing.” Alex faked a smile and turned the game off, “... Good night.” “Night night my darling knight.” The door closed and Alex faced the screen with a different mindset playing forth. Within seconds, the screen came on and Eternal Tower Online was activated. ‘ Although… There's something about the tower that baffled me. There are some dark terrains of the tower that baffle me till this day. ’ ‘ Rumour has it that legendary players like San Colson, Mitchell Winston, Sara ultra, popular Eternal Tower Online Players had disappeared without trace, unfortunately ,this information wasn't publicized. ’ ‘ Trust me, only those who ended up on the darkest side of the web could access this information. ’ / San disappeared, his room was completely empty / / Sarah never came out of her room till this day / / Mitchell parents claimed they witnessed her got sucked into the game / ‘ So much disheartening news came about the insane virtual reality game… Well, I vowed to get to the bottom of it and that's by reaching the 100th floor. ’ ‘ Too bad I wasn't bold enough to tell my friends because I know they won't agree. ’ ‘ I only needed them to reach the 100th floor. Now, I can take it from here and find out what happened to those other gamers, why did they disappear, and where to? ’ And just as the screen booted, the previous notification from earlier popped up after login details were confirmed. [ Congratulations on reaching the final floor of The Eternal Tower] [ 100th Floor Has Been Unlocked ] [ Party Is Allowed To Proceed With Or Without All Members ] [ Proceed: Y/N ] Alex clicks on the Y button without hesitation, but just as he did.

The lights went out!” “It’s a blackout.” “When last did we have a black out?” “Crap, a blackout?!” Alex shook, “...and at the wrong time goddamnit!” He fumed upon overhearing the chatter going on outside. Alex groaned heavily and managed to get up and attain a lucid view through the window. Unfortunately, all that rained before him was ambient darkness. “Mehn, this wasn't so nice.” Abruptly, an ominous booming sound crawled out of the ambient darkness, an absurd power supply filled the globe and every TV screen turned on.

I did say so many things about the game having certain changes.” Isabella walked forward a bit, “Alex defeating the goblin king erased the army.” “Doesn’t matter, the time is still ticking.” Liam groaned. “Well the goblin Queen…” Olivia paused, “She’s gone to find the Goblin King.” “If she finds him, she will find Alex…” Isabella reasoned. “Then let's get going!” Meanwhile, Alex looked around to see if there was anything else left that could have possibly caused the timer to still be active. He heaved a sigh before he set his gaze on the Goblin King Menacing Longsword. It exudes an aura of greed and envy that made Alex hesitate to approach it. He could feel it, he could sense it, the sword was no ordinary weapon, it was just in the hands of muron.

Sword And Space
The instant Gaia’s eyes flared open with an unnatural light, the prison cell dissolved into chaos. Alexander barely had a moment to brace himself before the ground shifted beneath his feet. The stone walls of the dungeon bent and twisted, as if reality itself was no longer bound by the laws of nature. Gravity became fickle—pulling in one direction one moment and then reversing violently the next. Gaia, now hovering above him, was a storm of pure, unrestrained magic. The air around her crackled with raw energy as she extended her hand, and the very fabric of space folded around them. Her voice, though once familiar, now echoed with cold malice. “You are nothing but an obstacle,” she hissed, her tone devoid of the warmth he remembered. With a flick of her fingers, the ground beneath Alexander’s feet warped into an abyss. The solid stone floor seemed to collapse into itself, pulling him toward the void. Reflexively, Alexander leapt to the side, Emberbane flashing as he slashed at the sp

Revival And Awakening
“Hm?” Alex knocked one of the standing guards down and half-turned towards Aelia. His eyes gradually dilated and he turned completely, appearing before the cell in a blur. Thick iron bars reinforced with runes of containment loomed like an unbreakable wall. The magic was palpable in the air, an invisible force that resisted their presence. Through the dim light, Alexander caught sight of her—Gaia, the witch of space magic, and one of his closest companions. She lay still on the cold floor, her vibrant energy suppressed, her body weakened from days of magical containment. "Gaia..." Alexander’s voice was soft but resolute as he knelt by the bars, his piercing red eyes scanning for any signs of life. Her breathing was shallow, her once brilliant aura now dull and muted. Without wasting time, he summoned Emberbane and created a scabbard with it, sheathing it by his side. “The prison is enchanted,” Aelia whispered, her eyes darting over the runes etched into the walls. “No wonder her m

Entering The Dungeon
Alex carried Aelia again and hopped from rooftop to rooftop in a blur. It was the best way to avoid any confrontation with the guards below. He knew a fight with the guards at the dungeon’s entrance was inevitable, but there would be little to no repercussions from that. Not only would he take care of them quickly, no one would notice that the guards had been killed, since no other guard would patrol into the area. The recent guard shift made this a concrete fact. Besides, for those guards to be placed at such a volatile spot, they must be among the strongest, if not second to the Elite Guards. They got past the guards loitering the streets in over a minute and landed before the dungeon’s entrance. Alex dropped Aelia and immediately curled his hands to fists, a small smirk creeping at the side of his lips. Aside from his very short bout with Borg—the mercenary at the tavern—he hadn't gotten the chance to flex his body. And Borg was a disappointing opponent anyway. Feeling the sud

A Glimpse Of The Forest
There was no time to discuss it with Aelia. Alex took action immediately. He began to mumble some inaudible words under his breath whilst taking one step after the other out of the storage room. He placed his palms some distance away from each other, waving them in back and forth arcs, as though an invisible ball lay between them. The air got thick, red threads of mana sparking around him like electricity. The threads soon flourished into a dull red aura of magical energy around him. He had to keep the releases of his power to the minimum, or all eyes would instantly be on him—including the normal guards, who were weaker and less sensitive to mana auras. He could tell, his ears twitching to the constant shaking from Aelia behind him. She was already overwhelmed by such a small fragment of his full power. He continued reciting the spell in a whisper and the aura of mana around him flowed down his upper body, and up his lower body. It was as though the space between his open palms w

A Hidden Danger.
The two of them waited patiently for the switch to happen. Eventually, Alex had to dispel the ball of flames as the guards did a last patrol around the premises. Their infiltration had been going on pretty well now. He couldn't risk them getting caught when they were so close to the central chamber. It wasn't as though they would cause him any trouble. He knew he could take all of them, even without Emberbane, but he needed to be covert for now. If a fight were to break out and it reached Lord Varek’s ears, the warlord could change the location of the witch’s cell, since that was obviously what the intruder—Alex—was here for. No one was foolish enough to try and kill Varek without a very substantial reason. “They're coming,” Aelia whispered, her ears twitching to the vibration of the maintenance room and the trudging of incoming horses. Alex stepped away from the window, his hand finding its way around Aelia’s wrist once more, “Let's move.” The gate to the central chamber opened

The Passage
Aelia moved to and fro nervously before the sleeping Alex. It was almost time and he was still fast asleep. She was scared that he might lash out at her if she woke him up abruptly—a negative side effect of being a slave to Lord Varek. She had been manhandled and violated over very little mistakes. She gathered some courage after two minutes and crouched down before him. She exhaled softly and tapped him on his shoulder, “Uh... Alex. It's time.” At that very moment, Alex opened his eyes. Crimson met blue as they locked eyes. Aelia almost jumped back in fright. She didn't expect him to wake up so suddenly. Alex could read the fear in her eyes. He sighed and stood up, stretching his left hand down toward her, “Sorry for startling you.” “I-It’s fine,” she took his hand and he pulled her up without any effort. She cleared her throat afterward and began to turn off each lantern, “It's almost time for the guards to switch. We still have about fifteen minutes, but it would take us over

The Middle Ring.
Alex made sure to exhaust the hell out of Liora by walking around the inner city aimlessly. She wanted to act strong at first, but after walking for an extra two hours, fatigue and thirst began to kick in. She spotted a nearby tavern and suggested that they had some rest there. Alex was in no way tired. He could keep going for days without food or water without faltering, but he agreed anyway. At least… She thought he did. In the brief moment that she turned to look at the tavern, he cast an illusion spell, creating an exact replica of himself close to her, while his real self blended with the darkness of the nearby alley. He was gone. His replica would only last for an hour or so, since he didn't put much magic essence into the spell. He had to reserve his power for his battle against Varek. Liora noticed a slight distortion in Alex's replica’s countenance, but she was too tired to give it any thought. It wasn't as though she could read him in the first place anyway. After havin

No longer Needed.
The mercenary squeezed his fists, “You're fodder, red eyes. I was only trying to warn you so you wouldn't do anything stupid. But it would seem I would have to beat some sense into you.” Alex couldn't help it at that point. With his head still cocked to the left, he grinned. Slowly unsheathing his axe, the mercenary announced, “By the way, the name's Borg. You should at least know the name of the man that wipes that stupid grin off your face.” Alex stretched his right hand to the side, “Borg… I'll try to remember that.” Space rippled by his right palm, cracking ever so slightly that nether and dark energies leaked out in a very small quantity, creating this red-black bubble of energies. He grabbed something within this bubble and pulled out a long broadsword. The flux of energies was immediately sucked in and space repaired itself. Gently, and with much care, Alex placed the tip of the sword on the floor, sending a slight tremor across the tavern and the surrounding areas. The b

The Tavern Part 2
After cursing him a few more times internally, Liora turned to look at the tavern, and without looking at the placard above, she could already tell its name. “The Broken Shield? Why are we here?” she quizzed with a raised brow. Before Alex could respond—not like he planned to anyway—she quickly added with a slight frown, “Seriously? Beer at this hour? How do you expect to sell your stuff with clear eyes when you're drunk?” For the first time in a while, Alex took a glance at her. In that very moment, he imagined conjuring a big cog and shoving it into her mouth. She was too loud for him. He retracted his gaze without saying a word and made his way up the short flight of stairs that led to the tavern. Liora's brows twitched, but she had no choice than to follow him. Though, at the back of her mind, she strongly fought against disregarding her superior’s orders to escort Alex. She wanted to at least stab him through the leg. By the time she entered the tavern, Alex was alread
