Tower Of Trials (1)

「 The 'Tower of Trials' will now be transferring player Muhan Seongjang. 」

Voom..!

I closed my eyes, knowing it was too good to true. Accepting my fate.

A moment later, I felt wind rushing into my face. I opened my eyes, and I was falling down from the sky.

"..Wait? Huh?!"

A moment of relief went through me, instead of focusing on that, I was more focused on that fact that I was falling down from the sky one thousand feet into the air.

"AHHHHHHH"

I said screaming my lungs out, while falling down from the sky.

「 The 'Tower of Trials' will now be giving player Muhan Seongjang his tutorial trial. 」

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW, JUST SAVE ME."

I yelled into the air, as I kept falling faster and faster down onto the ground.

I didn't know what they meant by tutorial, but before I had smacked right into the ground. It felt as if wind was lifting me, cushioning my fall. I had closed my eyes for what was about to happen. And opened my eyes to myself levitating a few feet above the ground.

Then I felt the wind dispersing and dropped me onto the ground. Then I stood up, seeing more messages popping up in front of my face.

「 The speed that Muhan Seongjang clears the trial will decide his difficulty in the 'Tower of Trials'. 」

「 Every challengers stats, skills, and innate ability will be reset to the lowest class. 」

「 The player Muhan Seongjang stats will be reset. 」

I looked at the hologram messages, as I could feel a change in my body. My stats had been changed.

"..What..?"

I didn't even know this was humanly possible. The fact that the hologram message existed in the first place should be out of the realm of possibilities.

「 Starting the tutorial trial. 」

"..Wait! I'm not ready!"

The scenery started to change.

It felt calm almost, the scenery looked like grassy plains. There were nothing in sight just grassy plains with what looked like a blue barrier so you couldn't run away forever.

Then I checked myself for wounds, but it turns out my body is just fine. All the wound I suffered in the high ranked dungeon were gone.

「 Providing a weapon. 」

Clack!

A half broken sword fell from the sky. It's even worse because the sword is also rusty. The sword looked like it could be broken anytime.

"..They want me to clear the trial with this half broken rusty sword..?"

It was like a miracle, a sword had just appeared out of thin air. To be more precise it looked like the sword was created right in front of me. However what I knew is that, this is a rigged trial.

It said all players, I'm not the only one in the trial of towers which is interesting, seeing as I'll be meeting people later on I assume. Back the topic of the sword, it said everyone was given a rusty sword. Which is absolutely insane. There's no way we could kill something with a weapon like this.

I hadn't know what the trial was, but it couldn't be something that's impossible to clear with this rusty old sword. Or so I thought.

「 Error. 」

「 Error. 」

「 Error. 」

「 An Error has been found while generating Muhan Seongjang trial. 」

"..An Error..? What does it mean error to generate my trial.."

「 Muhan Seongjang trial difficulty has been raised. 」

Sweat drops down my face. There was no way this was possible, the same system that showed me a hologram message made an error?

They also raised my difficulty? Doesn't this seem a little unfair..? My stats were already rock bottom and to reset it to the start, was just unnecessary. I'm a F Class Hunter there's no way I can do this.

Grabbing the sword from the ground. Being on guard, not knowing what trial they were going to give me.

「 Spawning Goblin Champion. 」

「 Kill the Goblin Champion. 」

"…No way.. That's a D Rank Monster.."

I nervously grabbed onto my sword, as the system started spawning the goblin champion.

I obviously couldn't win, but I had to try. The monster got spawned in, I analyzed the goblin champion. Noticing it had an iron axe and a leather armor.

It wasn't anything special, but due to the difference in stats, I couldn't face it directly.

「 Time left – 4min 59sec 」

As soon as the goblin champion saw me, it charged directly at me.

"I'm supposed to kill this thing In 5 minutes?! What kind of…!"

I was cut off short when the goblin champion swung his axe at me. Trying to block with my sword, as it was knocked away from my hands.

Clank!

"Damn it…! What kind of trial is this..?!"

I said turning backwards and running away to the sword. Goblin champions endurance were terrible, but the thing that makes them so frightening is that they have an insane amount of stamina.

As much as the goblin champion loved seeing me struggle, it chased me down. My stamina at this point is terrible to say the least. Picking up the sword from the ground turning to face the goblin champion.

It swung to my ribs instead this time, I knew this instinctively, since goblin champions had a simple attack pattern much like a normal goblin. I had studied goblins over and over again, when I was a guide and when I was training to become a hunter.

They had a large amount of stamina and strength, but their speed was quite slow. Jumping over the swing. And throwing the rusted sword at the goblins eye with all my might. Catching the goblin champion off guard.

Hyuk!

「 Time left – 3min 20sec 」

"..Don't fuck with me..! I'm going to survive and get my revenge..!"

The sword went right inside the goblin's champion left eye, as it starts to squeal in pain. I quickly climbed up the goblin, riding its neck, wrapping my feet around its neck, gauging my fingers into its other eye.

The Goblin then started to shake me off, throwing its axe away. I held onto the goblin, sticking my fingers deeper and deeper into its eye, it kept struggling but I didn't let go.

After I dug my fingers into its eye, I would punch the eye with my fists. As much as the goblin struggled, I wouldn't let go. There's no way I could let go, I was given a second chance. Pulling out the sword from the goblins eye. I would turn around, jumping down from the goblin's champion neck, and I would grabbed onto its clothes.

「 Time left – 1min 30sec 」

The leather strapped it had on its chest, I would be hanging off from it, before the goblin champion could grab me, I stuck the sword right into its neck and pulling it out.

Ssssssh!

"Just die already you fucking bastard..!"

I let go and fell down from the goblin champions clothes. Falling down onto the green grass, this wouldn't last as the blood from its neck would go gushing everywhere covering my body.

"..Huff Huff.."

I'm surprised, if it wasn't for the goblin champions arrogance I would've died. But the outcome is me winning..

"..I really killed a D Rank Monster.. Ha…"

Letting out a laugh, before wiping the blood from my face.

「 Tutorial trial over. 」

I felt adrenaline rushing all over me, the pain left from the goblin champion continued to make my body tremble.

But this is where it starts, a second chance to change my life for good.

I'm determined to finish this tower trials and get my revenge on the bastards that laughed at me and treated me wrongly.

Putting that aside, I decided to enjoy this moment, it's not everyday I get to kill a D Rank Monster.

It's not like I could take the core, since I'm unsure where I'm even at. I don't even have a bag, even if I taken the core of this goblin champion I can't even sell it.

Then a message popped up in front my face.

Click!

「 Congratulations. You managed to pass Tower of Trials floor 1. 」

"Floor 1..?"

「 As a reward, you will be given a 'Random Innate

Ability.' 」

「 As a reward, you have received '800 points.' 」

「 As a Bonus reward, you have received the weapon 'Blood Dagger(F+)'」

I was astonished by the messages popping up, something I saw while looking at the messages, I was given an innate ability?

Something I wasn't born with, an ability that I always envied others of having. I finally have an innate ability, tears started rolling down my face.

「 Error. 」

Then something surprised me, another message had popped up.

"Error? Again? What happened now."

The moment of joy came to abrupt stop, the moment I saw the error message again.

「 The difficulty of the trial is not proportional to the reward. 」

「 Recalibrating the rewards. 」

"What?"

Were they going to give me an even better reward than last time..? This is amazing, I almost couldn't believe it.

My heart starting to beat more and more, not knowing what were the rewards this time.

「 Recalibrated. 」

「 Awarding the rewards. 」

My chest felt like it was going to explode. I'm excited for what I got this time around.

「 As a reward, you have received a 'Random Innate Ability. '」

「 As a reward, you have received '1,200 points.'」

「 As a reward, you have received the weapon 'Blood Moon Sword(E)'」

「 As a bonus reward, you have received the skill 'Clairvoyance(F+)'」

I didn't know what to say, the rewards were insane. It's nothing I had seen before. Fighting a D Rank Monster was worth it. I thought to myself in that moment.

Shocked from listening to the message. A portal appeared to take me to the next room where the next trial is.

Before I walked into the portal, I regained my composure, the reward for the sword appeared before me, I grabbed the sword and started walking into the portal.

The sword has a black texture with a firm and tight grip for a one handed sword. The edge of the sword also has red lines, it makes sense since the system did call it the blood moon sword.

「 You have entered the waiting room. 」
