My mother led us to an Ihe Adventurer’s Guild, where we would register ter. She had to pay the Inn Owner, a tall tiger-faced man, one gold for a day. This is the currency of a few of the Tower's worlds. You use these Gold s to pay the inhabitants and buy anything from them. Such Gold s be acquired in the exge ter, where you exge real money for them.
Apparently, this was only made retly due to the cultural exge betweeower Inhabitants ah. Currently, the twenty or so worlds are on good terms with Earth, or mostly their leading Kingdoms or Nations. Because each Tod trols their worlds so much, wars and opposite forces don’t break as only.
However, I did read online about a few rge is where Tower Inhabitants attacked and invaded cities around the world. Especially inhabitants of Floor 6, Floor 15, and Floor 20, all of such Worlds are mostly filled with aggressive races and warm nations and kingdoms.
If it weren’t for the anized Hunter Association and our World Css Hunters, those forces would have tio further expand. Some of them retreated, but not all of them.
heless, that was not my problem anyway.
“Now that we rest here, let’s talk a bit.” My mother said, “The rewards you got are a bit too ridiculous. Usually, people get at most C-grade items, but you all get S-grade items? And Ruby somehow didn’t have to do anything at all!”
“Mom, e on, I am just as fused as you are!” Ruby protested. “This is all because Big Sis carried us inside her inner realm.”
“I suppose it is my fault, yeah, but why does it even matter?” I shrugged. “I said I wao make you stronger, and these rewards will help Ruby get stronger. Open your items and use them all, Ruby. Don’t feel bad about it.”
“A-Are you sure? I still feel kind of guilty, big sis… I mean, you carried me, and I was just a sitting duck. Do I even deserve all this kindness and help?” Ruby felt slightly guilty, her blue eyes shining slightly brighter than sometimes.
My little sister was so cute even after eleven years; that siy of hers is something precious. Just her guilt alone is enough of a payment for me because I know that her good heart will not grow corrupt due to the things I do to help her.
“Don’t worry, Ruby. Y sister is here to protect you, love you, and help you. I won’t ever ask you for anything iurn for the things I give to you.” I smiled, kissing her forehead and hugging her. “I love you, my cute little sister. I’ve been all alone for eleven thousand years; the only thing that keeps me moving is the fading memories of you and Mother. Seeing you here is enough payment.”
“Katherine…” My sister sighed as tears flowed from her eyes. “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t think about that… It must have been hard.” She hugged me back. “I’ll be here for you too; just ask me, and I’ll hug you anytime, alright?”
“Fufu, alright~” I kissed her forehead. “Now! Enough is enough; use those items and bee stronger, Ruby.”
“A-Alright! If you insist… Then I’ll take them.” She nodded with a serious expression.
She quickly stared at the items; she got the exact same things as I did, including a big egg that was supposed to be a special “pet” familiar that would be lio the pyer. It apparently level up on its orogressively bee stroo help you out.
I don’t need such a thing myself; if I could gift the egg to my mother, I definitely would, but all items acquired iorial are “bound” to me through the System Status, so they ot be gifted. If I attempt to do so, the items will be destroyed, or so I assume.
I would like to try that; perhaps if I cut the e, I gift them? But I believe b so much for a few little items that barely hold any power pared to what I have is a waste of time.
Anyway, my items so far were: [Divine Healing Elixir (S Grade)] x5 [Divine Mana Elixir (S Grade)] x5 [Gold on Ticket (S Grade)] x1 [Gold Armor Ticket (S Grade)] x1 [Gold Accessory Ticket (S Grade)] x1 [Random Skill Book (S Grade)] x1 [Cssless Skill Slot +1 Ticket (S Grade)] x1 [Magic Skill Slot +1 Ticket (S Grade)] x1 [Legendary Monster Pet Egg (S Grade)] x1 and [Golden System Gachapon (S Grade)] x10
The Elixirs appeared to be healing items, so I simply hid them. The Mana Elixirs looked very iing, though, so I might e them to accumute more Mana and learn how to produce them by tasting them.
The tickets were very iing and straems—some sort of metallic scroll imbued with divine runes and advanced magies ected to the system. When activated through will, it summons an illusacha game of sorts, where you get a random item from a group of assorted items.
Then there’s the System Gachapon, which is the same as the tickets but with more items. And then there is the Legendary Monster Pet, which awakens and hatches once I imbue it with my own Mana and other energies. The monster arently born based on my abilities, talents, affinities, and potential.
The skill book was self-expnatory; using it grants a random S-grade skill. And then the Slot Tickets are also self-expnatory, helping me hold more Skills. Because I have already accumuted a few more that I o longer equip.
Ihere were some system notifications I ighroughout the tutorial.
Ding!
[Because of the amazing trol and absorption of magical elements, such as Fire, Ice, and Lightning, you have harhe power of the elements within you!]
[You learhe [Triple Elemental Magic: Fire, Ice, Lightning (A): Lv1] Magic Skill!]
Ding!
[You have proven yourself to be an unshakable, overwhelming syer of all Devils. Your ruthlessness knows no bounds.]
[You learhe [Demon Killing Arts: Lv1] Cssless Skill!]
[You acquired the [Devil Syer] Title!]
Ding!
[Your power to el time itself and shape it to your own liking is incredible. Not even the cept of time resist your overwhelming magical prowess!]
[You learhe [Partial Time Floution (A): Lv1] Magic Skill!]
Ding!
[You have mercilessly killed someone who was believed to be the stro of the World of {Arcadia}, and who had taken plete trol of this world.]
[Therefore, you’ve bee the new Ruler of Arcadia, and all magic ever jured by the former Ruler over their subjects has been dispelled. Millions of souls have been freed from brainwashing and curse-type spells.]
[For freeing a world from such wicked evil, you received the Title: [Savior of Arcadia]!]
[The System Fun: [World Ruling] which is reserved for Climbers who have reached Floor 80, has been unlocked ahead of time.]
[You ow manage and visit the World you’ve acquired through the [World Ruling] interface at any time.]
I don’t think I have the time to manage a world, so I will simply leave it alone. Whatever happens to it, it is not my responsibility. But maybe if I ever feel like going on a vacation, I might visit it.
Anyway, regarding the other skills, the only ohat is me is partial time floution, which I acquired right away. The other two were pced iored Skills” category, and I ’t use them unless I pce them iher Skill Slots.
About the Titles, Devil Syer is useless; why would I need more attack painst beings I easily kill anyway? It is utterly pathetid then there's the Savior of Arcadia; apparently, it gives me buffs and authority over that world, but only if I go there. It's useless too.
“I wonder if I just delete Titles? They’re just cluttering and useless all the time…” I sighed to myself.
“Look, big sis! I got cool red armor!” My sister called for me as my mother was looking at her with surprise.
Ruby used the tickets, obtaining S Grade Armor called [Fire Dragon Scale Armor], which imbued her with a part of the soul of a fire dragon. Iing.
“You look good in that!” I cpped. “What about the others?”
“I have this rainbow-colored ring and a katana.” She showed me. “The ring’s called [Valhal’s Treasure Ring], and it boosts my magic power and mana a lot while givihe ability to access an iory! It’s so useful! The iory is y either; it es with magic ons I summon oo attack them. Oh, and the katana is called the [Phantom Shikigami Devil-Syer Katana]. It tains a thousand evil spirits inside, and it sy monsters with explosive phantom fmes!”
“Oooh, that’s so iing." I preteo be surprised; I’ve seen even more incredible things before. “With this, you’ll surely clear any mission.”
“Yeah!” She nodded. “Wait, right, we o do missions, isn’t it? And ten of them!” She said. “But doing just the low-ranked ones won’t fit, won’t it?”
“I’ve already dohat requirement a while ago, so I suppose it is going to be just both of you doing it.” My mother smiled. “heless, I still guide you around.”
“Thank you, mother. And yeah, the message said something about givier rewards based on the rank of the missions pleted, isn’t it? So if we plete the highest-rated missions, won’t Ruby get the best items again?” I wondered.
“A-And you too, Katherine.” My mhed. “I’m surprised at how little care yiving to the amazing things you have.”
“Ah, if I could gift them all to you, I would, Mother.” I sighed. “But indeed, I do not care much about them. But well, I will use a few now, for the sake of it.”
I decided to just roll with it, open it, and use all the items I got. It seemed that, although I could only see them as little toys, my family saw them as invaluable and incredible items. If I looked down on them, it could be insulting to my mother’s efforts as a D Rank Hunter until now.
[You have used the [Gold on Ticket (S Grade)] x1!]
[You received the: [Lava Dragon’s Fre on (S Grade)] x1]
[You have used the [Gold Armor Ticket (S Grade) x1!]
[You received the: [Quetzalcoatl’s Diviher Dress (S Grade)] x1]
[You have used the [Gold Accessory Ticket (S Grade)] x1!]
[You received the: [Underworld Ruler Neckce (S Grade)] x1]
The equipment I acquired was rather iing. The on was, well, a gigantic, red-colored on I could easily handle. By activating it, the on would fire giant onballs made of fiery va to deal explosive damage. It also recharge with Mana to unleash a Lava Dragoh through a certain range, but it o cool down after using it once.
The dress was rather beautiful, if slightly fmboyant, and made of green, red, yellow, and blue-colored feathers, shining with slight sparkles of divinity. It was quite beautiful, and it offered wind magiipution and flight with no Mana cost.
Lastly, the neckce was somehow ected to a Realm known as “Helheim” where a tract with a Goddess of Death was formed with the item. By activating it, it is possible to summon ten Random Undead from the Underworld between B to S Rank in strength. They stay until they die. Iing, but I don’t need help or an army.

-----
This was quite an amusing little Skill. It feels slightly ected to that other System Fun I had unlocked. But should I care about quering nds? I had already done so much before. I only want to do as I please. quering and managing nd is such a chore that I would rather never do that again if possible.
So, for now, I have no i in ever using this Skill, but it is quite iing, yes.
[You have used the [Golden System Gachapon (S Grade)] x10!]
[You received: [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (S Grade)] x2 [Skill Copy Ticket (S Grade)] x1 [Yggdrasil’s Divine Seed (S Grade)] x1 [Martial Prowth Elixir (S Grade)] x3 [Guild Creation Ticket (S Grade)] x1 [Dungeon Key (S Grade)] x2]
Oh, more straems. Tickets that allow me to bine up to three Skills without any cost and without needing them to be max level. A ticket that help me copy a random skill from any target as long as the skill is S Grade or below. A seed of a mythical, world-creating tree, elixirs that increase Martial Power Stat, a ticket to create a Guild and two Dungeon Keys of S Rank.
“Quite amusing…” I said while drinking the Elixirs. “Hm, it tastes like mango juice?”
[You have ed the [Martial Prowth Elixir (S Grade)] x3!]
[Your Martial Power has increased by +3.000!]
[You’re overflowing with Martial Power! Your Physical Strength and Stamina have risen tremendously.]
[You learhe [Basic Martial Arts (C): Lv1] Skill because of yh Martial Power Stat!]
“Oh, I do feel a tiny bit stronger after that." I smiled, lig my lips. “Now, you’re the st little toy. Let’s see…”
I decided to try something eous, as I imbued as much Ki Energy, the little Mana I had, Immortal Essence, and a few drops of Primordial Esseo the Legendary Monster Pet Egg all at once.
FLUOSH!
For a moment, I thought the egg would explode. Instead, it absorbed all the energy gluttonously and voraciously, slowly ging its bnk white color into one of pure golden radiance, with rainbows and clouds across its entire eggshell.
[You have imbued tremendous quantities of fn energies into the [Legendary Monster Pet Egg (S Grade)] x1!]
[The [Legendary Monster Pet Egg (S Grade)] is slowly abs the energies and evolving, being a powerful new Pet. But this might take some time…]
[Incubation Duration: 30 Days.]
“It seems I o wait until it hatches…” I sighed. “Ruby, is it the same for you?”
“Yeah, it says I o wait for 12 Hours.” She nodded. Her egg had turned red and bck, showing fiery red fmes. “How much for yours, big sis?”
“Apparently, a month.” I ughed.
“Wait, a month?!” Asked my mother and sister at the same time.
“Oh well, now that we are doh these little toys, Shall we go look for a ow?” I asked with a pleased smile. “After that, we should eat dinner and go to bed. The day is slowly ing to an end. It has been a rather eventful day, without a doubt.”
“I-I guess so; let me guide you to the Css ging pce then.” My mother liked ag as uide.
“Sure!” Ruby was very excited.
We walked out of the Inn Room once we were doh our things. Walking through the beautiful medieval city was quite a nice break from all the huge skyscrapers of New York. The people who were following us were still there. They sneaked around buildings, hiding in the shadows while keeping a wat us. I don’t know what they inteo do, but if they got an inch closer to us, they would receive a fitting punishment.
“And we’re here.” My mother pointed in the distance.
A gothic-styled church greeted us, big enough to cover aire block of the city. Its gates were guarded by two tall and bulky padins. Both were elves with long white hair and sharp emerald eyes, wearing golden and white armor. The gates were open, and they allowed entry for everyone. But they were still watg for anyone suspicious.
Because I could easily suppress my intimidating aura, we were able to easily enter without making them think I was a monster. Entering the church, there was a small line of Pyers, eae deg on their Css.
If it weren’t for my mother and my sister holding my arms while looking at me with a rather... very angry expression, I would have already skipped the line again.
“Just be patient and wait.” My mother told me.
“Don’t make a se like before." My sister insisted.
“I wasn’t making a se; I was merely—ah, fet it.” I sighed.
We only had to wait ten minutes before it was our turn. I let my sister decide on her css first. They had to enter a chamber and choose based on a list of options. These options were geed automatically and offered by the Tods, apparently.
The stro Csses were given by Tods, but with the Css came restris and requirements, such as, usually, being one of the Tod’s Avatar or Sub-Avatars. I told my sister to choose the Csses that didn’t require the Gods' Authority.
“I agian! It was the stro ohat wasn’t below the Gods' jurisdi.” She said.
“Good girl. Now’s my turn; wish me luck… Or not.” I shrugged.
I stepped forward into the chamber as it closed down behihe projes of css lists appeared in front of me. There are hundreds of options. I could barely see the list of csses without the jurisdi of the Tods, most of them were glowing with bright colors.
[Many Tods are ied in you! They have offered you their stro Csses.]
[Avaible Csses: 119]
[Divine Spear Wielding Monarch Of Light (SSS Rank Css)] [God Tower tract Required]
[Barbarian Titan Queen Of Primordial Frost (SSS Rank Css)] [God Tower tract Required]
[Abyssal Lord Of Eternal Death And Darkness (SSS Rank Css)] [God Tower tract Required]
[Tyrannical Empress Of the Golden Divine Sun (SSS Rank Css)] [God Tower tract Required]
[Abyssal Void Warlock (SS Rank Css)] [God Tower tract Required]
[…]
The list went on and on, with a variety of fanames. It seemed that each Tod wanted me oeam; even those who said they hated me still offered me a tract with their Css.
“Iing, so all these Csses are bound to the Gods, isn’t it?” I wondered. “To their souls, isn’t it?”
[The Gods of the Tower nod in unison.]
[They’re impatient! Please choose a Css already!]
“Of course! I will choose… All of these… And this ooo, and that one.”
[Warning, you ’t ore than one Css.]
“Why should I care? {Primordial Spiritual Body Arts}: {Photon Iion}”
My hands transformed into translut masses of divine rainbow light, Photon Energy overflowing with Primordial Essehey trespassed the system list of csses and quickly grasped into the very core of their existence. I saw links—tless links ected to over a hundred different Gods.
[The Gods of the Tower are shocked!]
[They ask you what you’re trying to do!]
[They order you to stop immediately!]
[System {Administrators} are being called immediately!]
I felt my hands being suddenly attacked by hundreds of beams of darkness and void, titanitacles attempting to tear them to shreds. But they were pletely unfazed. I grasped all the threads—these divine links ected to the Tods—and broke them.
Crack, crack…!
[The Gods of the Tower are all panig!]
[They’re trying to pull back their Divinities, but it is impossible to do so without taking tremendous damage!]
[They implore you to stop!]
“sider this your first punishment for having invaded Earth, and for killing half of the popution with your monsters.”
CRASH!
The screams of hundreds of divine beings reverberated across the eower as I did that. At the same time, I pointed my fingers at the Administrators attempting to stop me, firing beams of Photon Esseheir bodies quickly exploded into pieces, oer another. I don’t know how many died, but at least a few dozen “Administrators” immediately perished.
[ERROR!]
[SYSTEM ERROR!]
[SERVER ERROR!]
[Many System Administrator deaths have beeed.]
[The Liweeods and the Csses has been broken!]
[You have stolen their Divine Essence Fragments!]
[ERROR!]
[The Tod Csses are avaible to choose- ERROR]
“Silence.”
I grasped all the “System Fragments” which were stantly shifting and dist and fused them together with the Divinity Fragments I acquired, bining them through my Primordial Alchemy into a blue-colored pill overflowing with power.
FLASH!
[You have bined hundreds of [Divine Essence Fragments (??? Rank)] with the [Glitched System Css Fragments (??? Rank)]!]
[You have created the [Divine Css Pill (??? Rank)] x1!]
“Thank you for the meal.”
I swallowed the pill, as I felt my power quickly rise. Each divinity fragment was full of rich Mana and Divine Essence, an even higher form of Mana. Above all, I was able to see their appearances, how they looked, and even a few pieces of their memories.
“I see, how iing. So these are the “Tods”!” I ughed.
[You have acquired the Divine Css: [God Eating Camity: Ragnar?k (Primordial Venerable Rank Css)]!]
[10 Cssless Skill Slots have been unlocked.]
[Css Skill Tree has been geed; you ow learn Css Skills using Skill Points.]
[All your Stats have increased by +2.500 for acquiring a Divine Css!]
[Your Level Cap has been increased to 999!]
[You acquired your first Css Skill: [God Predator (SSS): Lv1] Skill!]
[Use God Predator to devour the Divinity of Gods and their Avatars and steal their Divine Powers.]
[You acquired the Title: [Primordial Camity: Ragnar?k]!]
“Hmm, yes! Much better now.” I ughed out loud.
[Several Gods of the Tower have fallen unscious after the damage they have taken.]
[The ohat have stayed scious are incredibly furious about what you’ve done.]
[They have decred war against you!]
[And will not stop until you’re dead!]
“e! As many of you as you ! You’ll he numbers if you ever pn to kill me.” I challehem. “Your little tower is iing, but I will not let you take Earth from me. This is my world.”
After that, I turned off their notifications and walked away from the chamber, as if nothing had happened. However, many of the priests of the churd the padins pahe moment they saw me. The Aura I exuded was dangerous; it seems this Divine Css was clear to their eyes.
“S-She…! SINNER!”
“What has she done?!”
“She hurt the Gods?!”
“How… What?!”
“P-Padins! Kill her!” The priest far away quickly ordered, as a dozen Padins came rushing from outside the church. “Quickly! KILL HER!”
I’m sorry, mother; it seems I’ve gotten into some slight trouble once more.
