3 2nd Foor

"This place is really like what they've shown in anime," Sasuke thought to himself as he looked out over the vast expanse of Wheat fields and rugged terrain. He couldn't help but marvel at the natural beauty of his surroundings, even though he had been teleported to this location for over 10 minutes now.

In the sky above, a colossal ship floated, emblazoned with the name "Evankhell." Directly below it, a cube-like object buzzed around, its purpose unknown. Sasuke knew from watching the first season of Tower of God that the tests on this floor were peculiar and perilous, but he had to participate if he wanted to ascend higher.

Suddenly, a girl's voice echoed through the wheat field, interrupting Sasuke's thoughts. "Mic test! Mic test! One, two, three!" she shouted. "Hello everyone! All the Regulars who have made it to the Tower, we sincerely welcome all of you to the 2nd Floor, Evankhell's Floor. It is also called 'The Floor of Test' because here we carry out the final test to see whether you are qualified to go up the Tower."

Sasuke listened carefully as the girl explained the first test. "There are 400 regulars here. Narrow it down to 200. Try every means possible, and the test ends when the number of regulars reaches 200. Begin!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, sounds of battle and screams could be heard, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Sasuke knew that he needed to survive this test and test his powers. He closed his eyes and activated his EMS (Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan) as his Rinnegan is always in active, allowing him to see the Shinsu flow existing in the range of 500m clearly. He could see that whether it was people or objects, everyone and everything had Shinsu flowing in them. He only needed to find what differentiated living and non-living to have a better chance at survival.

Suddenly, he noticed a disruption in the Shinsu flow from behind, like something was coming straight at him from a hill 400m away. He easily dodged it by tilting his head and looked at the hill to see who attacked him.

It was a man with a bow wearing a black cape. He had green skin and sharp teeth. "Hehehe, let's see how you dodge this," he shouted from there and took another arrow ready to launch. But before he could, a blue lightning laser pierced his head.

"Chidori Sharp Spear!" Sasuke muttered as he saw the number in his pocket reduce from 370 to 369.

After a few seconds, Sasuke realized that he had taken someone's life. He recalled that this wasn't the first time he had killed someone, but he felt no remorse. It may have been because of his new body or his view of everything and everyone as just part of the story. However, one thing he knew for sure was that his previous world's morality and principles about life wouldn't let him survive the test floor, let alone reach the top.

"I will build my morals and principles myself by living them," he concluded his thoughts and then began searching for two teammates for the next test.

Sasuke scoured the area, observing countless familiar figures in action, such as a humanoid crocodile chasing down two individuals, a lizard-like girl, and a swordsman in combat.

Suddenly, a group of four people lunged at him, forcing Sasuke to use his Genjutsu skills on them, inducing chaos, and ultimately resulting in their deaths. In total, Sasuke ended up killing 13 people in this manner.

Soon, the time limit ended, and a familiar voice spoke. "Everyone stay where you are! The first test is over now. Any Regulars fighting from now on will be eliminated!"

"To the 200 Regulars who passed the test, congratulations to all of you."

"It may seem a bit rushed, but a short second test will be carried out right away," the voice continued. "Your second test is simple: find two Regulars to be your teammates."

"We are giving you a five-minute time limit! If you don't make a team in five minutes, you are eliminated!"

"To be considered a team, you need to be touching some part of your teammates' bodies when the time limit is over! Good luck!"

Sasuke didn't hesitate and gone all out this time in his search. After 3 minutes of searching, he found a boy with green hair sleeping with a blanket covered and another boy next to him with brown skin and blonde hair. He wore a kimono with red trimmings, and the most noteworthy thing was a horn protruding from the right side of his head.

"Can I join you guys? I'm Uchiha Sasuke " Sasuke introduced himself asked upon reaching them, not forgetting to deactivate his EMS. He saw a girl with brown hair running in their direction from 300m away before deactivating his eyes so he is rather quick to occupy the 3rd slot in the team.

"My name is Ho, and in fact, I also had the same intention as you when I came here to ask him to be my teammate, but as you can see, he is sleeping," the blonde guy replied while smiling wryly.

"Oh, let's look for someone else then," Sasuke replied, knowing well that the sleeping guy could hear him and would join them because of his laziness to search for new teammates within 2 minutes.

As he guessed, the sleepyhead opened his eyes and sat up. "I'm in, and don't disturb me while I'm sleeping," he spoke without blinking. His focus is rather on Sasuke, the reason being unknown.

"You can call me Laure," he continued while yawning.

Sasuke and Ho sat beside Laure, who had gone back to his dream. They touched his hair as he slept, annoyed. Two minutes passed in silence except for the snore coming from Laure. The second test finally came to an end with a loud shout echoing around the field.

"The second test is over!"

"The three people holding onto each other at this moment are considered a team. You will be sent to the next test spot."

"You damn turtles!"

Sasuke and the rest, who were holding onto their teammates, heard this loud shout after the girl spoke and the next instant, they were teleported to 'Evankhell's Mothership', the next test point.
