TOWER CENTER.
[SYSTEM HAS OFFICIALLY ACTIVE]
Lucius was slightly surprised as the system's blue screen lit up in front of his face. But the shock only lasted for a moment.
[WELCOME TO THE CENTER OF THE TOWER,
PLAYERS 018! YOU ARE CHOSEN TO BE PART OF THE GAME!]
The greeting came from the sound of the system's blue screen echoing in front of Lucius' face.
Now, Lucius and Kaylee along with a bunch of other humans are already in the tower building. Its height soared almost to the sky so that Lucius was repeatedly amazed.
If I recall, this tower had indeed been visited by Lucius during the first round of the game. But Lucius had reached the highest level in a long span of time. So Lucius had slightly forgotten how it felt to see and step on the floor of this tower.

[TAP FOR INFORMATION DETAILS]
Lucius' forehead creased in astonishment. He read the description written on the system blue screen status window box. Lucius pressed the 'Tap For Information Detail' option.
Then the screen flashing in front of his face changed.
[INFORMATION DETAILS]
[PLAYER INFO]
[SKILL POINT INFO]
[STAT POINT INFO]
Lucius remembered seeing this look once when he had finished fighting the centipede monster. He felt that there might not be any changes to player information, information, skill points, or stat point information.
So Lucius chose not to know any options.
"Hey, aren't we going to get the quest message like a while ago?" Kaylee, who was standing next to Lucius, asked.
Lucius shook his head with an unconvinced expression. He repeatedly tried to check his cell phone, but no quest messages came in. Last time was a quest message asking all of them to follow the soldiers to go to the Center of this Tower.
"Maybe there will be one later," answered Lucius who was very focused on watching the tower building in front of him.
The Central Tower building is surrounded by a circular fortress-like wall. There are four buildings to the right and left of the Center Tower. While the Center Tower is in the middle and is the tallest building among the four other buildings.
Lucius, Kaylee and a bunch of other players were standing outside the building. Exactly outside the walls of the circle fortress.
'I visited this in the past. But, what was left behind that I didn't notice until I had to repeat the game round?' thought Lucius.
"We'll only escort you all the way here. Next, happy training!"
After one of the highest ranking commanders spoke, the man immediately beckoned the other soldiers. They all didn't even give the other players a chance to ask.
The situation became panic-stricken after the soldiers left. Lucius looked left and right, watching everyone who was immediately confused.
"Then what should we do now?!" one of them shouted.
It didn't take long for Lucius to be shocked again as the system's blue screen flashed in front of his face. Lucius saw the loading screen on the blue screen.
[PROCESSING YOUR STAT POINT SYNCHRONIZATION. WAIT FOR A WHILE!]
Lucius frowned.
[5%... 15%... 35%.... 47%... 67%... 77%... 89%... 100%]
[FINISHED!]
[YOUR STAT POINT HAS BEEN UPGRADED. CHECK ON YOUR WINDOW STAT]
Lucius frowned, choosing to press the 'check my stat point' option at the bottom right.
Then the blue screen in front of Lucius' face changed.
[STAT POINT INFO]
[HP: 1000/1000]
[MP: 100/5000]
[AGL: 14/150]
[INT: 10/150]
[DFN: 17/150]
[MTL: 10/150]
Before Lucius could react to anything, the display on the system's blue screen changed.
[PROCESSING YOUR SKILL SYNCHRONIZATION. WAIT FOR A WHILE!]
[5%... 15%... 35%.... 47%... 67%... 77%... 89%... 100%]
[FINISHED!]
Lucius didn't want to check his skill points because he already guessed nothing had changed. A few hours ago, Lucius only got one skill. Because he hasn't been given a new quest yet, Lucius definitely hasn't gotten any additional skills yet.
[SYNCHRONIZATION COMPLETED!]
[YOU HAVE ENTERED A NEW CHAPTER OF THE GAME]
[LV 1: BEGINNER]
[TAP TO SEE DETAILS OF THE NEW STAGE]
Lucius pressed the sentence option 'Tap to See Detail New Stage'. Then the system blue screen display changed again.
[STAGE DETAILS]
[LV 1: BEGINNER]
[You have increased by one level above level 0. Congratulations on being selected as the player who passed round 0, the testing round]
Testing Round? The only thing in Lucius' head was when the centipede monster came to attack the city.
So, that incident with the centipede monster coming was a testing round? The level of difficulty that is already complicated enough ... it's still called testing?
Lucius grinned. Somehow he felt challenged by this first round. His mind was imagining what other monsters he would face, and what kind of quests to do.
[In this round, the quests that will be given have slightly increased difficulty. You will face new monsters and a different playing field compared to the previous level...]
Lucius patiently read the text on the status window's blue screen. Looking forward to seeing another sub quest.
[Players are expected not to commit any kind of cheating because they will get a pretty serious penalty]
The text for an explanation of cheating is red. As if deliberately putting emphasis on his sentence.
[Happy running game, Players!]
Lucius widened his smile. This is the time to get the sub quest.
[YOU GOT A NEW SUB QUEST!]
[TAP TO OPEN!]
Curiosity urged Lucius to know what the first quest he would do. Besides, Lucius didn't need the greetings that had appeared earlier.
[SUB-QUEST]
[GOAL: FIND THE KEY TO OPEN THE CENTRAL TOWER TOWER FLOOR GATE]
[SKILL NEEDED: LOGIC KNOWLEDGE]
[PENALTY: FRAUD OF ANY TYPE WILL END IN THE PENALTY SEAT]
——————————
[REWARD POINT QUEST: 50 Points]
[REWARD POINT SKILL: +6 Logic Knowledge, +8 Agility, +6 Defense]
[TIME REMAINING: 6 Hours 40 Minutes 59 Seconds]
After reading the Sub Quest that had just appeared, Lucius curved a crooked smile.
'Okay, I will complete this challenge and find out what things have been missing from my attention,' Lucius said to himself.
Looking for the Key to Open the Door to the Second Floor of the Central Tower Building.Simple quests. Maybe that's what the people around Lucius and Kaylee thought. Lucius noticed very clearly from the reactions of the other players after they got the quest.Unfortunately for Lucius, quests like this were prone to traps.There was no slightest clue for where the key to the door to the second floor of the Central Tower building.There was no notification what monsters they would face.No one knows, behind the fortress walls that surround these five buildings, what traps or dangers are hidden.And, after all, looking for one small object among five large buildings is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Lucius reread the keyword on the skill needed to do this quest: knowledge of logic.'The time when I ran this first round, I was too fool to realize the keyword was in the skills required,' Lucius said to himself.Lucius' grin curved. In the not too distant future, Lucius must solve
A tense situation ensued when the players scrambled to climb the fort's walls.Ever since Lucius had given Kaylee instructions to speed up the wall-climbing movement, the two of them focused their gazes on the door. The color of the door is vague. That's why Lucius hoped that no other players would quickly notice.'In a minute,' Lucius said to himself. 'Come on, Lucius, catch the clock!'Beneath the players, the piles of scorpions and black crabs were already growing. Nearly half of the castle walls were covered in creatures that were piling up on each other."Hey, you two! Where are you going?!" A player, a mature man around thirty years of age, called out to Lucius.Lucius turned to the grown man. His face grimaced as he held his own weight. He hesitated to answer the man's question."You, young man! Are you trying to win alone?!" The grown man spat out curt words. His tone almost sounded like swearing.On the other hand, Lucius and Kaylee looked at each other. They both didn't know
Lucius thought time was running out to face the monsters on the second circle of walls until he could enter the territory of the five towers. But apparently, after facing the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving, Lucius was able to arrive at the arena of the five towers.In front of the central control tower, Lucius tried to catch his breath. He managed to get the key hanging from the monster goblin's pocket.Remembering a few minutes ago, when the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving had wandered about, Lucius arranged the pebbles. Deliberately so that the goblin monsters that came were tricked by the amount of pebbles.The obstacles were much easier than facing the black crab and scorpion monsters."Lucius, let's open the tower door," Kaylee said beside Lucius.After calming himself down, Lucius nodded his head. The players who didn't get the key were waiting for him. But they look still shocked by the incident that they passed a few moments ago.Without caring a
[CONGRATULATIONS PLAYER 018!][MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!][YOU GET A NEW TYPE OF SKILL AND ADDITIONAL POINTS FOR UNLOCKED SKILLS][TAP TO VIEW DETAILED INFORMATION]Lucius was surprised when a blue system screen appeared in front of his face. Not only in front of Lucius's face, but also Kaylee and the other players.They all did not immediately enter the building. Lucius, who almost forgot about his mission, then tapped on the blue system screen according to the instructions.Then the blue system screen in front of his face changed appearance.[NEW SKILLS UNLOCKED!][LOGICAL KNOWLEDGE][6 Points/50 Points — Lv. 0/Lv. 10][AGILITY][8 Points/50 Points — Lv. 0/Lv. 10][DEFENSE][6 Points/50 Points — Lv. 0/Lv. 10]Lucius then pressed the screen once again, then a second change of appearance appeared.[CONGRATULATION! REWARD POINT QUEST HAS BEEN ADDED!][PLAYER LEVEL INFORMATION][LEVEL 1: 100/1000 POINTS]After reading the level information, Lucius frowned. So, each level must reach 1000 poi
The new Main Quest has been completed.The players returned from the Center Tower. Not all players get the potion hidden in Pandora's box. As a result, several players entered the Central Control Tower with sullen expressions on their faces.Meanwhile Lucius and Kaylee planned to directly enter the dormitory area for the players. They both didn't want to care too much about the other players bemoaning their failures."I think I'm going to go get a drink." Kaylee suddenly stopped walking when they both arrived at the border players' dormitories.Lucius suddenly stopped walking, watching Kaylee. "Are you thirsty?""Of course. I'm also hungry. I heard that there is food provided near the lobby area and anyone is free to take it." Kaylee raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully."Really? I didn't know that," Lucius replied. "Yeah, you just go if you want to go there."Kaylee just wanted to step away from Lucius. But after he remembered something, his steps stopped abruptly."Would you
"Who's this?" Lucius didn't understand at all why someone suddenly claimed to be watching him.Wait. Is Lucius hallucinating now?"Don't worry, don't suddenly look worried like that!" The man who had appeared from behind Kaylee was joking.Lucius immediately frowned, astonished. Even though this stranger was friendly to him, for some reason Lucius couldn't trust him right away."How can I not worry?" Lucius asked back. Finally Lucius turned his gaze to Kaylee, then took his girlfriend's hand. "Come here, I need to talk to you. Just the two of you."Kaylee was suddenly surprised because Lucius immediately pulled her hand. Kaylee's body staggered forward, entered Lucius' room, then Lucius closed his bedroom door. Even though Kaylee didn't have time to give any sign to the man standing in front of Lucius' room."Lucius!" Kaylee hissed as she was pulled against the wall, then cornered by Lucius. "Hey, what are you doing?!""What do you mean?" Lucius asked Kaylee. "I'm not giving you permi
Lucius always didn't like it when other people found out about his business.When Kaylee almost cornered him with that intimidating stare, Lucius could not control himself. But luckily Lucius was able to immediately wake up and shift Kaylee's body that was blocking him.Before walking past Kaylee, Lucius whispered, "There aren't any secrets. You don't need to be curious about that."Kaylee frowned after hearing Lucius' answer. While Lucius stepped towards the food brought by Kaylee, Kaylee only watched with narrowed eyes."What made him look panicked earlier?" muttered Kaylee very quietly.Kaylee glanced silently at Lucius' table. There was a man-made box where Lucius put some papers. For a few seconds, Kaylee was watching very seriously and guessing. But because she suddenly felt she didn't want to think about it too much, Kaylee decided she didn't want to care."So, exactly why are you watching me?" asked Lucius who was already sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Daneed curious
Lucius was so bored.He didn't expect that when all the players were on a break for the next quest, the system inside their heads would be deactivated. Even though Lucius intended to re-read whatever was written in the system to better understand. However, every time Lucius waved his hand for the system's blue screen to appear, his efforts were wasted.Lucius let out a rough sigh. Right now, Lucius was walking down the hall of the dormitory. The atmosphere was very quiet because it was already entering bedtime.Lucius deliberately didn't invite Kaylee after what happened a while ago, when Kaylee asked Daneed. As a result, Lucius had to walk alone until he arrived at a circle area, a kind of central lobby for the room area. From this circular area, Lucius could see the second floor and so on which did form a circle.The size of the convention center's lobby was too large for Lucius who was just walking alone. Even so quiet atmosphere, Lucius could hear the sound of his own breathing. A
