2. The Grind Neva Stop
WARNING
INFO DUMP INCOMING
SOUND THE ALARM
=======================
Wait, shouldn't I get prepared before going in?, nah." Salvador said,
He walked into the door, which was shining bright white, then a screen popped up.
[You've entered floor 0, where the tutorial begins.]
After Salvador shelded his eyes from the light, he was now in a long hallway, with grey walls and black pliers, with blue lights.
{I'm in, just gotta wait for that goblin} Salvador thought.
While he was waiting, the goblin was looking at him from a grey room, with nothing else then screens, too many to count, all on one hallway.
"Interesting, how a skeleton from outside is in here, I thought the outside didn't have any magical creatures, might as well go do my duty as a tower manager." The goblin said.
Opening a blue portal, the goblin hoped in.
"Oh hyo hyo hyo. A guest like you at a time like this, I thought you would have left already, and I wouldn't be able to see you." The goblin said.
Falling out of the portal, the goblin stand in the middle of the hallway, the goblin was wearing a two piece suit with a monocle.
Salvador already knowing that the goblin would fall out of the portal, wasn't surprised.
"Oh?, I would have for sure thought you would have gotten on guard, for I'm a goblin who just fell out of a portal." The goblin said, getting ready to talk more.
"Well, nice to meet you, I'm floor 0's manager, who is also a guide. Ibeulkera. Meeting like this probably fate, so won't you clap for me?" Ibeulkera said.
"Do you believe me?" Ibeulkera said.
"If you were a normal goblin, then you probably would have attacked me already." Salvador said.
"Ah, you have a good eye and are calm, most people would have attacked me already, horrible idea by the way, now let me explain what you need to do." Ibeulkera said.
"The tutorial is separated into 7 different blocks that go from A to G. Each section has its own created environment, each with different trials that must be completed."Ibeulkera said.
"During the time allotted to you, your score will be determined by how you complete the trial. All the scores will be accumulated and your final result will be announced." Ibeulkera said.
"What are the benefits of achieving a high score?" Salvador said, staying close to cannon .
"The higher the score, the better your rewards in the future. I'm certain that I have explained this portion to you thoroughly. Oh hyo hyo hyo."Ibeulkera said.
"Ight, can I start now?." Salvador said, already knowing how long he has.
"Wait a minute, I still have to tell you somethings, you will have a month, 30 days, how you split those days up during each block, is up to you, the player. However, we are currently about one week into this round already, would you like to start on the next round." Ibeulkera said.
"No, I'll start here." Salvador said, trying to milk everything the tower has.
"Ok, also when you try to finish a block, it is recommended to form a party with around three or five players, with that being said, this probably means that you will achieve a higher score if you were to solo it, wouldn't it?" Ibeulkera said.
"The tower grows on the foundation of the player's work. As your contributions increase and your work becomes more noteworthy, the way your score is calculated will be adjusted separately, so there is no need to worry." Ibeulkera said.
"I see." Salvador said, getting ready.
{Usually, players like this go one of two ways, they either believe solely on thier skills and die, acting all high and mighty, or they become a sight to see.} Ibeulkera thought.
"If that is what you mean, then I'll start the trial immediately. Now I have to go, as another player has just entered." Ibeulkera said, snaping his fingers and disappearing.
[The trial on floor 0 will now begin.]
[The trial: Newcomer who is trying to become a god, in order to climb the tower.]
[You must prove that you have what it takes to do so.]
[Terms of achievement: you must achieve a high score within the allotted time.]
[549:37:88_96.]
"Seems like Ibeulkera was talking about Cha Yeon Woo, but let's get smoving already." Salvador said
He started running towards the bright white line, that is on the ground.
[549:37:95.]
As soon as he ran over the line, the screen popped up.
[You have entered block A. Disarm or destroy all the traps.]
A blue arrow got shot straight at Salvador but he used his 6th sense to see where the arrow was heading, then he dodge the arrow, resulting in the screen to pop up again.
[Your sense of touch and hearing has been heightened.]
[The "6th sense" skill level has increased. 0.8%]
[Your agility has increased by 1.]
Salvador continued to run through the hallway, using his 6th sense to dodge blue tipped arrows, increasing his agility, parrying red tipped arrows, which increased his strength, and not bothering to get hit by the yellow tipped arrows, as he will never run out of stamina.
Salvador then opened his status.
[Profile: Salvador Saintos Cèszar.]
[Nature: Unfazed.]
[Strength: 19.] [Agility: 25.]
[Stamina: Infinite.] [Mp: 25.]
[6th sense(4.3%). RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE(0.0%). Weapon Master(4.3%)(Passive). Skeleton body(4.3%)(Passive).Blood is my fuel(0.0%). Fitting songs(0.0%). Portal to different dimensions(0.0%)]
[AUTHOR NOTE: Weapon Master got to 4.3% because he was using his fists to parry the red tipped arrows, Skeleton body went up to 4.3% because well he's a skeleton, it has to go up]
"There's something so good about seeing how strong you are becoming. Floor 0 really is the best place to grind." Salvador said, trying to find more arrows.
While Salvador was doing that, Ibeulkera was looking at him from the room he was in, at the beginning.
"Oh hyo hyo hyo, the more I watch him, the more interesting he becomes. I feel like he's the character, first of his kind, but there's another character, who's the first of their kind aswell. Ibeulkera said, looking at a person in a white mask, black hoodie, and blue jeans.
"Strangely, my eyes are more drawn to both of these people in block A, who are both doing the same thing and have their hands full, than the people in block E." Ibeulkera said, putting his hand up to his chin.
"These two guys are the real one for sure, even if they both qualifies, they both will have to face many other dangers." Ibeulkera said.
"But if they both can be this sensible and past the rest....I feel a lot of fun spectacles will arise during this tutorial, Oh hyo hyo hyo."Ibeulkera said.
Salvador reached the end point, and the screen popped up again, while he was opening his status screen
[You have reached the end point.]

"It's such a blessing that "A" sells reset tickets, the grind neva ever stops." Salvador said.
Walking to the door, Salvador opened the door and begun to walk in.
[Treatment of your wounds will now begin.]
"Looks like I made it to the safe room, in one day, no less." Salvador said.
Once Salvador sat down, waiting for the merchant to show up, only for the merchant to appear from nowhere ave
"Ah, dearest solicit, I mean customer, let me introduce myself, I'm "A",the merchant who passes by." A said snaping his fingers
{Interesting how this participant is a skeleton, very interesting...} A thought
"After coming this far, d-.", A said before being cut off by Salvador
"A reset ticket." He said
"Oh, you're the first to ask, people would just ask for something to advance to the next block, so no one would ask for a do-over, also don't cut me off or I won't sell to you."A said
"Yeah, yeah, I'll use all my stats I gained from block A as payment." Salvador said
"I see." A said
=======================
I did it again, I followed cannon a bit too much, anyways.
