As soon as the timer hit the 0 they cheered. But along with their cheers, the ground trembled. In the middle of the city just a few meters away from the city square appeared a huge ancient looking tower. It pierced the skies and stood tall.
Everyone fell into panic and wanted to escape but there is a forecfield like thing that stopped them. Looking at the forcefield, they screamed for help from outside. Meanwhile those from outside the forcefield tried to help but can do nothing as the forcefield didn't even have a single crack after attacking with guns.
The boy looked around in confusion as people started panicking. ' Is this a dream? The tower appeared just now? Did I travelled back in time? But- wait? Where is the artifact? ', he then remembered something and touched his neck.
' The pendant of chronos, it's gone ', the boy exclaimed. He collected after countless efforts in the tartarus dungeon where he is imprisoned by those petty Gods. His name is Alexander Martin. The reason he slayed a god, and in their eyes it's an unforgivable crime.
He endured countless hardships before slaying those petty Gods and dying in battle against the primordials who are imprisoned in the tower in an attempt to conquer the tower itself. But death isn't the end it seems. He is back in time thanks that pendant that has the entire divinity and sealed soul of chronos.
He wore it as an achievement. Could it be it's that pendant that brought him back? In that case, this time he will climb the tower. He won't care about the gods or their petty enemies. He will use everything he learned to conquer the tower and also kill those primordials.
As he is thinking a fog enveloped the inside of barrier. Alex rolled his eyes, the dramatic effects of the tower to scare the rookies. But Alex curled up his lips. This could be an opportunity for him. If the same tutorial zone appeared in here. He can use some special things to trade points which he can then use to buy skills.
Alex has mischievous glint in his eyes. Gods standing on top of the ladder look down on skills which grow into authorities and thretean their divinity. He knows one such skill which is the combination of many. He likes to see the reactions of those gods when they saw a mortal making a fusion skill.
As he saw the fog clearing there is a desert in front of them. Alex smiled, so he really came back in time. There is a window flashing in front of them now.

The casual allure of tower to offer eternal life to players. But it's true, based on your levels your lifespan will also increase. Afterall growing many times stronger in stats compared to ordinary certainly have many benefits. Along with lifespan, you have strength and gradually will be resistant to many things that can easily kill a human.
For example, the cyanide that can kill someone will ineffective against someone with over 100 levels in tower. Because their vitality allows them to fight against that immediately. But reaching level 100 is also tough. Every level demands more and more exp. Ultimately you'll have to dive into dungeons and clear bosses to level up.
Alex looked at the inventory given by the tower. He took out the basic weapon token and ripped it. In an instant he saw a window appear in front of him. He selected the sword which he is Proficient with. The monsters that will appear here will be Jackals, Serpants, scorpions and wolves.
As Alex has the sword. Many also started choosing their weapons one by one. After selecting their weapons they looked at the desert in front of them nervously. Because from the desert emerged scorpions that's half ten size of an adult. Worse, they're just level one.

Yep, and they're in flames too. Alex locked his lips, it seems he is going to do another thing here which he completely forgot about. Building a body that's been immune to poison. For that he needs not only Burning Scorpion's Ember essence and tail but also many things.
Alex approached the barrier and simply walked out. Immediately the scorpions around ran towards him. Alex ran towards them too and jumped up before slicing a scorpion tail in front of him. He then swing his sword to the side slicing the claws of a scorpion.
He then pierced a scorpion on it's head killing it before taking the sword out quickly and slicing any claws and tails of the scorpions that are launched at him by the surrounding scorpions. But Alex skillfully avoided them all and either pierced or sliced off it's chest. Notifications started ringing oen after another.

Alex started laughing maniacally even scaring the scorpions that's approaching him. It's not a simple fight to death, it's a massacre of scorpions that's been happening. Meanwhile the people in the barrier that are afraid gulped looking at Alex who is fighting the scorpions.
Some of them scoffed thinking the scorpions are just weak and tried to fight them only to be surrounded. They barely escaped came back to the bartierbin disgrace. Meanwhile Alex is collecting his loot, which are yellow orange small glowing orbs on the ground. These are the burning embers inside a scorpion.
