Chapter 62 Leaving the First Floor

Chapter 62 Leaving the First Floor

After walking for more than five minutes, Kyle finally saw the end of the dark tunnel.

With hurried steps he walked out of the tunnel, only to see a huge big white color stairway in the middle of a small empty area.

There was nothing dangerous around the stairway. Even the rocks around the stairway were not sharp due to some reason.

Hanson and Blane were also nowhere to be seen. Kyle just hoped, they stay safe and didn't encounter something similar to him.

He gazed at the white stairway with a complicated expression, he knew what it was but he didn't expect to see one inside this strange cave.

The first few floors of the Tower were always similar in structure whenever the Kingdoms send their young talents inside. That's why a lot of things inside those floors were mentioned in the books related to the Tower.

This small stairway in front of Kyle would probably directly teleport him to the second floor of the Tower but for some reason instead of being happy, Kyle look reluctant.

It's because he still hasn't plundered all the golden cross marks waiting for him inside the first floor!

How can he just leave behind his treasures?

If someone else heard his claims he would have probably beaten him up.

Just when the hell did the treasures become yours?

Kyle sighed and looked behind him, trying to see the unseen treasures. If the tunnels were not closed off he would have definitely gone back.

With a gaze filled with unwillingness, he walked toward the white stairway and started climbing, still looking behind from time to time.

After he climbed the stairs, he stepped on a small circular array. The array shone brightly and Kyle disappeared.

When Kyle left, about ten to fifteen minutes later 3 elves also appeared in front of the same white stairway. They looked at the stairway and started climbing without even waiting for a second.

They also disappeared and after them, Hanson also arrived in front of the stairway. He was the only one who become excited and happy when he saw the stairway.

With a wide smile, Hanson also climbed the stairway and disappeared from the first floor.

...

On the other hand, Alec found a tree with three golden fruit. After he ate those fruits he directly broke through to (E+)-Rank. n(/OVe1b1n

He was very happy because after so many days he finally found a treasure inside the Tower.

Still, god knows what would be his reaction when he find out that Kyle found almost 10 times more fruits than him!

Alec traveled around inside the forest for a week before seeing 2 demi-humans and 3 humans fighting together to defeat a (D)-Rank monster.

After seeing that the humans and demi-humans were tied with the (D)-Rank monster, Alec also joined the fight.

Together with those 5 individuals, he defeated the (D)-Rank monster but Alec was the one who gave the most damage to the monster.

After the monster died white particles emitted from its body and gathered around on top of its body.

The particles didn't enter anyone's body instead after all the particles gathered, they formed a small white stairway similar to the one Kyle used to teleport toward the second floor.

All the people present looked at each other with excited expressions.

Without waiting, they climbed the stairway and disappeared.

After a few minutes, the stairway burst into white particles and disappeared into the air.

....

Meanwhile, after fighting around for more than two weeks. Mia found an underground tunnel in the middle of a lush forest.

With caution she entered the tunnel, going straight more than 20 feet underground.

The tunnel was empty with only a single large stone filled with different patterns present at the center.

Mia walked toward the stone and after seeing the strange pattern closely she got an idea of the strange pattern on the stone.

It was an array!

Mia wasn't proficient with arrays but she read some books about them in the past.

Even though the array was one of the lowest rank array, it took her 2 whole days just to break it.

The moment the array broke, the pattern-filled stone crumbled into white particles. Forming a huge stairway and a small ancient looking book in front of Mia.

She grabbed the book, it was about arrays. After placing the book inside her storage ring, Mia climbed the stairway and disappeared.

At the same time, Lara encounter a similar situation as Alec. She fought with some other people to defeat a 'Boss monster'.

While she was fighting, coincidentally Nine also appeared.

He was on the verge of breaking through to (-E)-Rank and after fighting together with the others to defeat the boss monster, he broke through to (-E)-Rank.

A similar white stairway appeared in front of them when they defeated the 'Boss monster'. Directly teleporting everyone to the second floor.

On the other hand, Carcel found a peach colored tree with a hidden huge hole in the center. The tree branches were long almost hiding the hole, but while running away from a bunch of strange sharp teeth squirrel monsters, Carcel saw the hole.

After he entered the tree hole, he appeared in front of a small clean lake. In the middle of the lake, a beautiful tree was present.

There were two fruit hanging on the branches of the tree. Seeing no one around the lake, Carcel immediately walked toward the tree and after he ate the fruits he broke through to (E)-Rank.

Also, behind the fruit tree he saw a white stairway.

Carcel happiness doubled when he saw the stairway. He immediately climbed up the stairway and disappeared, leaving the first floor.

After Carcel left one of the squirrel who was following him accidentally entered the tree hole.

The squirrel looked at the lake and then at the empty tree with squinted eyes.

The stairway behind the tree also didn't escape his tiny eyes.

It squeak a little seeing himself alone but then it walked toward the stairway and slowly started climbing it with a confused expression.

When the squirrel appeared on top of the stairs, it felt its hair stand up straight due to the sudden effect of the teleportation.

This time the squirrel didn't squeak cutely. It opened its mouth widely showing rows of razor sharp teeth and bit the floor of the stairway before disappearing, leaving behind a small hole in the white sturdy stairway.

...

Similar incidents were happening all around the first floor of the Tower, some people found treasures and hidden stairways to climb toward the second floor. Some gathered around and fought with 'Boss monsters' to climb toward the second floor.

While some unfortunate ones weren't able to climb to the second floor or died on the first floor.
