The Tower was quieter than the Guild Hall, but it wasn't silent. A faint hum resonated even from outside, a steady vibration of concentrated mana circulating through its very structure.
The outer walls were adorned with carved channels that pulsed softly with light, channeling energy upward through each level.
Sage entered without announcement.
Immediately, he felt a shift in the air, a denser, heavier atmosphere filled with controlled mana that pressed gently against his skin. The first floor featured a wide circular hallway connecting several stone cultivation rooms. Each door was thick and reinforced.
Beside every door, a rune carved into the wall glowed red if the room was occupied. Almost all the runes on this floor burned steadily, lining the corridor like quiet signals of effort and focus.
