Tower Admin
"Equip Meta Miracle Artist." I thought of equipping the Mate before continuing with my experimentation with the skill Miracle of Creation in hopes that it would help with skill in some way or lead to some unforeseen discovery. And it did.

The tiny blue dot on the upper left corner of my sight expanded into a blue translucent screen and a series of prompts appeared on it. Reading the prompts I was surprised to find that I was the 1st mortal reigner in this world. Not knowing what a mortal reigner was, did not dampen my excitement. Because being a mortal reigner came with a lot of perks. Though I had yet to explore them, I was giddy knowing that I was one step ahead of the rest of the people in the Earth realm.
"I can't believe somebody lives in this dump." a mystical feminine voice sounded from behind me, almost scaring the shit out of me. I frantically turned around to search for the source of the voice. Only to find a cat with snow-white fur and blood-red eyes floating in the air.
"Floating cat?" I uttered, now that I knew the unknown my curiosity for it overshadowed my fear.
"I am not a cat, human. I am the Earth Realm's tower administrator." the snow-white cat spoke grudgingly.
'The tower administrator is a talking cat?' I thought in astonishment. Even with a million guesses, I would have never guessed that a cat was the tower administrator.
With a glance, I could tell that the white cat was no ordinary cat. There was a majestic and domineering aura surrounding it. In its presence, I could not help but feel the urge to bow to it as if it was a ruler and I was its subject. I hurriedly looked away not wanting to offend it with my stare.
"Ryan Hunt, congratulations on becoming the 1st Mortal Reigner of Earth Realm." the tower admin spoke while licking its paw. There was no sincerity in its words, it acted as if it was forced to be here. I don't know how strong the tower admin is but its cuteness was blinding.
"It is customary for the tower administrator to greet the 1st Mortal Reigner of their designated realm. My visit is done here. I will be leaving now." The tower admin didn't even spare me a glance and prepared to leave.
"Madam Admin, please wait," Since the cat introduced itself as tower admin I knew it wasn't hostile so I bet on the calculated risk and called out to the tower admin. Considering its feminine voice I took a shot in the dark on its gender and addressed it as Madam Admin.
"What is it, Ryan?" Admin asked in annoyance. Ignoring the tower admins' annoyance I cheered internally as I was correct, two for two.
"Madam Admin, about my tutorial. I have a complaint regarding it," I said cautiously.
"What about it?" asked the Admin.
"I think something was wrong with the tutorial. It felt biassed and specifically designed to fail me." I hurriedly narrated what transpired during my tutorial worrying that the admin will lose patience midway.
"Hm, let me check." Though annoyed, the tower admin did not disregard my complaint. She summoned a black translucent screen and its blood-red eyes moved as it searched the records in the T-system to verify my story.
"Interesting, ha, you cleared your tutorial on the first try despite such odds. You might be the luckiest fellow in this realm. Haha, that Skeleton should be rolling in his grave out of anger." The tower admin was entertained going through my tutorial records. She even made a snide comment about a skeleton.
"..." I don't know who the tower admin was talking about but I didn't care as long as the admin didn't feel annoyed to deal with my request. After all, I would be saving a Tower Ticket(Unique).
"Ryan, I am sorry to tell you this but there is no foul play with your tutorial. You are one of the lucky few trial takers whose potential caught the eye of a Constellation.
The constellations are beings whose existence is acknowledged by the tower of trials and they have the authority to modify trials to nurture the potential candidates of their choosing as long as they have the consent of the trial taker and give out appropriate rewards.
That skeleton Grayroch didn't have to get your consent because it used a unique item to bypass that law and blindsided you with a modified tutorial trial. Seeing how it gave you appropriate compensation as a reward, there isn't much I can do about this." The tower admin explained that since I was already compensated appropriately with tutorial rewards there wasn't much she could do about the lich king Grayroch who had misused its authorities as a constellation to mess with my tutorial trial without my consent.
"Nurture? This Grayroch tried to have me forever stuck on the ground floor of the tower of trials, by making it impossible for me to complete the tutorial. He had no intention of nurturing me." Aggrieved, I complained but the tower admin did not seem to care about my grievance.
"You got four unique grade items as a reward so you have nothing to complain about." The tower admin spoke while rubbing her ear with its paw. She wasn't interested in hearing me complain. And later she asked, "One of the unique grade items rewarded to you was a miracle elixir, did you use it?"
