Ed finally reached the city where the tower was at . It took him three days to reach it, and this was without stopping . Ed didn't encounter other bandits or monsters on the way who he couldn't outrun . This saved him a lot of time .

The city where the tower exited was called just that . Tower city . The city was like a fort, with a giant circular wall surrounding it . 'Is it supposed to keep things in, or out?' Ed couldn't help but wonder . He quickly made his way to the entrance . Raikou was hiding in his shadow . Many people were lining up to enter . Tower city was different from other cities . It was the headquarters of the Central government . Thus not many people were willing to make a big scene in this city .

"If you will be entering the tower, then please head to the Central office . If you're only visiting, then there is no need . " As soon as Ed's turn came, the guard explained to him . Ed already knew this . He got as much information from Leonard who had visited the Tower in the past . Going into the tower requires a signature . Indicating that the one entering would be responsible for himself . No rescue teams or any of the sort would be looking for him if he disappears .

This was a way for other gangs to do their shady job in this city . Entering the tower means a great deal of danger . It would not be an understatement to say that most people who go in don't come back out . This was not only due to monsters in the tower, but also other people inside . Those who choose to kill humans instead of monsters .



Ed made his way to the Central office . It looked like a company, filled with desks and papers . Many people were now lining up to sign . The paper needed to be signed only included the name and signature . No one bothered to check if the information is correct or not since it was only a formality . Ed didn't put his name, instead, he wrote Zero .

After a little, the one who was responsible for Ed gave him a ticker . His name was in it, as well as the government's signature . This was to prove that he had indeed gone through the procedures necessary to enter the tower .

Ed left the office and toured a little . He summoned Suika since she was in her card form while they were traveling . Ed went around the shops buying some necessities . He already had everything he needed, but it was better to be safe rather than sorry . While shopping, he noticed that most people didn't talk much, making the streets eerily quiet . Only footsteps could be heard . Ed was creeped out by them, but he didn't judge them . He checked the Map, and most of the people were blue dots . Except for a few, which was expected .

Ed didn't bother to reserve a room in an inn . He was planning to stay in the tower until he clears it, or until he feels that he leveled up sufficiently . He made his way to the tower that was in the middle of the city . The tower was also surrounded by a circular wall . This made the city look like a giant donut from above . The Tower of Origin was hundreds of meters high . Probably even thousands . It reminded Ed of the tower of Babel .

Ed only needed to show one of the guards the ID ticket he got from the office to be able to enter . He got passed the circular wall and saw the Tower directly for the first time . Many people were in the space between the wall and the Tower . Some of them were enemies according to Ed's Map .



Ed didn't waste any time and entered the tower . Suddenly he felt nauseous . As if he was shook a few times . Ed opened his eyes to see that he wasn't inside the rocky Tower, but instead, he was inside a forest . 'Where is this place?!' Ed was afraid that he might have been caught in a trap laid out by some bandits . He almost panicked but quickly calmed himself .

[Host doesn't need to panic . The Tower's floors are pocket dimensions . They don't exist in the real world . ] The system always explained things to Ed .

Ed looked around the forest, but he could see any borders . The floors of the tower didn't look like they exceeded 100m² from the outside . But now, Ed guessed that the floor was as big as his own Kingdom, If not bigger .

"Raikou" Ed didn't bother to hide Raikou now . He would kill anyone who tried to mess with his in this Tower . He will not let anyone escape either . Ed started exploring the floor . He activated his Map and noticed that he was surrounded by red dots . But they were all weak monsters, too afraid to come out .

"System how can I move to the next floor?" Ed didn't want to waste his time killing worthless monsters . His only targets would be Earth Establishment and above .

[You would need to find the teleportation circle yourself, or simply find the floor boss and kill him] . 'Floor boss? What is this, an RPG?' Ed couldn't help but retort in his mind . This setting was way too similar to a game for him . He was also annoyed since in either case, he would have to search for the circle or boss in this large floor .

Ed started looking around . He was using his Short teleports to travel . His space magic had been stuck on level one for a long time now, and this was the chance to level it up . Most of the monsters on this floor were normal ones . Foxes, Boars, Snakes etc... None of them were even King Establishment . Ed spent half an hour before he noticed a large monster . It was a giant bunny with a horn in its head .

"System scan it"

[Scanning...]

Name Big bunny (Floor Boss) .

Cultivation: Knight Establishment level 3 .

Ed didn't waste any time and teleported behind it . One simple sword slash and its head was rolling on the floor . Ed felt the same sensation as earlier and the scenery changed .

'The teleportation is instantly activated...' . Ed looked up and noticed that he, Raikou, and Suika were in an area that looked like a cave . Some moss on the walls was illuminating this cave . To make matters worse, Ed was in the middle of a group of monsters .
