5 100 km and World chat
————————
[Tower55725: Oh my god! Finally! I have been trying to contact for an hour now!]
[Tower55725: Wait. I have so much to talk about.]
[Tower55725: So how are you?]
————————
'How is this guy typing so fast, it's a big screen keyboard for god's sake.'
————————
[Tower11503: I am fine, so do you know anything about what's happening right now?]
[Tower55725: Not a clue bro, wait you are bro right? As in male?]
[Tower11503: … Yeah. So, do you have a tower near you too?]
[Tower55725: Yeah, apparently everyone has this tower with us. And the worst part is, if the tower is destroyed, we will get killed too!]
————————
William knew that part that if the tower get destroyed, then they would die too.
'Why do I feel like I don't like this guy already?'
————————
[Tower11503: So what is your name?]
[Tower55725: Ah! I totally forgot about it. Quick, tell me your name and we can finally change this numbered name. My name is Tom.]
[Tower11503: William]
[Tower55725: Alright, William. A nice name. Well, go to your left settings, and from there, you can change your name to whatever. But mind that it will show to everyone wherever you chat. So beware, there were some tips shown before but they have now vanished. You can't see my changes because you have not tweaked with your name yet, when you do, then my name will also change in this chat.]
————————
'I finally like the guy, he is useful.' William was pretty smug about it and then went on the settings he talked about.
Some options seemed pretty complicated to William so he just changed the name option first while the poor guy Tom kept typing and asking if he got it or not.
William first tried to write his name as 'Your daddy' or 'OgWilliam' but he felt like he was not a kid anymore.
His days of chatting with some aliases typing anything he wanted without getting caught in real life were gone now. He had some good fun in his time.
————————
[Tower_TOM: Did you get it? I can see my name change here. Congratulations!]
[Tower_William: Yeah, thanks for the help.]
[Tower_TOM: This chat feels good now. I don't think anyone else is in the 100km chat. Or else the names would not have changed.]
[Tower_Willaim: Alright, fun time's over. We are in a pretty difficult situation. Do you know that a wave of monsters is going to come in an hour? What have you planned about it?]
[Tower_TOm: … I don't know anything about it. You know, If I didn't get this sword as a gift, I might have been the least confident in surviving.]
[Tower_TOM: By the way, what did you get?]
————————
William got up dramatically with his eyes wide while looking at the chats in the hologram.
"He got a sword?" He said to himself and looked at the dumb book he got as a gift.
Blood could not be seen boiling in William but it sure felt like it for him.
—————————
[Tower_William: A sword? Seriously? I got some weird book that looks like it's straight out of a horror movie.]
[Tower_Tom: That's unfortunate, William. But hey, maybe your book has some powers or something. You never know.]
[Tower_William: Yeah, right. Powers that could potentially kill me, I bet.]
[Tower_Tom: Look, we need to figure out a plan for dealing with those monsters. Do you have any information on them?]
[Tower_William: Not much. All I know is that they're coming in an hour, and we're supposed to defend the tower from them. But how the hell are we supposed to do that?]
[Tower_Tom: We'll need to gather information and form a strategy quickly. Maybe there are others who know more about these monsters. We are not getting anything here, lets go to the world chat and see what is there to know about. But a small warning, the chat gets like thousands of message at once and when you write one, you can't write anything for 20 minutes. Pretty sad but it makes it a little bearable. Let's go there.]
——————
As William and Tom discussed their predicament, William couldn't help but wonder if he should just start using the tome already.
If they were going to survive the upcoming wave of monsters, he might have to take a risk and explore the book's options.
William closed the 100km chat without replying to anything else. He then went and clicked on the World chat.
"What the?!" William couldn't help but move his eyeballs around in order to get something about this chat. Thousands of messages were coming within seconds and there was no way that he could read it properly.

100km chat
[Tower_William: This World chat is insane. How are we supposed to find any useful information in this madness?]
[Tower_Tom: It's definitely overwhelming, but we don't have much choice. Let's try to find someone who knows about these monsters or has a plan.]
[Tower_William: Agreed.]
———————
William and Tom scanned the chat, attempting to catch relevant keywords or clues. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack, and frustration grew with every passing second.
"Swords, crossbows, revolvers, cannons… gods why are you so unfair to me?! I did so much charity work for humanity, yet you gave me such a cursed book! Shame on you!!" William couldn't help but scream to the sky to curse the gods.
While the chat may be fast, he could get different words here and there and make the sentences on his own. Turns out, most of the people got a sword and many other melee and support weapons.
"Fire staff? You's got to be kidding me…"
William cursed hard and closed all the chats, everyone was useless showing off here and there about their gifts or crying and not accepting that they were in such a situation.

'Should I have not switched on the chat notifications?' William had already made changes to the settings in which he could get notifications when Tom or anyone spoke in the 100km chat.
And he already found it to be a bad idea.
