Chapter 359: Worst-Case Scenario

Miles looked at the scene in front of him in dread. At the other end of the room was another stair going down but before the stair, stood a pack of monsters. They looked like dogs but they had two sharp fangs protruding from their jaws. Other than two fangs, they had no teeth at all. Their body was pitch black and their eyes were dark blood in color.

Vampire Canines! Miles turned to climb the stairs and reached the room he first got into. But wherever he looked, he failed to see the door he entered. Where are the doors?

There are no doors. Coin answered.

Is this an illusion? Miles asked in fear.

I think it is something worse. Coin said and replayed the conversation he had with Milosh. You are in a tower.

The hell? Miles exclaimed in anger. Towers should go upwards right! Why the fuck this one is going downward?

Dunno, buddy. But it is too late to leave now. Coin shook his imaginary head. Miles sat on the ground and thought about what Milosh said. At a time, only fifty creatures could enter the tower. Once they did, the door would be closed and the only way out would open after the tower was cleared. There would be monsters on each floor but their tiers would increase the further one went, but the general difficulty would be according to the challengers.

I am alone. I am only mid-tier. The difficulty shouldnt be that high. I am pretty disadvantaged, but I can still clear this shit. The alternative is death, which I cannot accept. So, brave up, Miles. You are in for some serious shit. Miles pumped his spirit as he looked at the stairs. Lets do this.

You did it! Coin exclaimed after Miles was done.

Yeah, one down, 49 more floors to go. Miles sat on the ground. Although it wasnt that hard, he still used a big amount of energy. He needed to replenish it. Armor is preventing them from injuring me. If I hadnt found this one, I would be in big trouble.

"If it wasn't for the armor, you wouldn't be in this cursed place anyway." Coin snorted as he clasped his imaginary arms around his body.

"Well, technically I am here to avenge myself and Alex but yeah, the possibility of armor brought me here in the first place." Miles shook his head.

"Makes me wonder," Coin started, "What are towers?"

"What do you mean?" Miles asked in surprise. Not because it was a stupid question, it was a brilliant one. What were towers indeed? How did they come to be? What were their purposes? They were making humanity stronger despite the challenge they presented.

"You are asking the questions I had in mind. Why would monsters gather together in a place to make humanity stronger?" Coin asked, reading Miles's mind.

"Why indeed?"
