Chapter 10: FLOOR 10
Grey stood from the floor, his body sore. He looked at the destruction from before, then the portal that led to the 10th floor, before looking at the only intact corpse on the floor.
He dragged himself to the corpse, and cast devouring thrall call on it.
Vulkrak stood, its eyes void of emotions.
Grey sent it back to his death domain and walked towards the portal, his body still sore from the earlier battle.
As he reached the portal, he looked back at the ruins he had caused.
Overestimating myself has caused me to lose all my soldiers, and a person I promised to help, Grey thought as his eyes went sore.
Never will I underestimate an enemy again, he thought with resolve, before he stepped into the portal.
[Congratulations, player, on reaching the 10th floor.]
[Your body has been revitalised]
As Grey stepped out of the portal, the system message chimed in.
Then a surge of green light washed away his fatigue and injuries.
Grey was met with several players who had arrived beforehand, some of whom were already trading their items and loot.
[Player, head to the checkpoint to save progress and receive completion rewards]
Suddenly, a white light began to illuminate Grey's path, as if leading him somewhere, and what surprised him was that the other people did not see it.
Grey followed the light until he reached a red glowing pillar.
[Check point]
Grey went closer to the pillar and touched it calmly.
[Player has marked the tenth floor as his respawn point]
[Player earned divine level trial reward]
[Player has earned (skill: essence harvest: Receive a core stat of slain enemies), and (weapon: Azarith(katana): Absorbs the soul of a slain enemy, and converts it to a skill orb, based on the skill of the user. Can store 5 skills at once, and skill orbs can be switched at will, and 100,000 Tower Points(TP)]
Seeing the overpowered effects of the rewards, Grey could not help but giggle slightly, temporarily forgetting about what happened to him earlier.
[It is detected that the player has a dungeon orb.]
[Do you want to create a separate space?]
Yes, Grey said without even thinking. The reason was that since he had seen the message, he had told himself he would use it for the separate space.
Suddenly, a veil of white engulfed Grey, temporarily blocking his view.
When he opened his eyes again, he was in a vast expanse of white, nothing else but himself.
[Player can craft the world with TP]
[Does the player want the creation menu?]
Yes, Grey replied without giving it much thought.
First, he had to choose the core type, which ranged from several elements to abstract ones.
He was about to choose death, but stopped.
Stop it, Grey, being the sovereign of death, doesn't make you lose your humanity, he thought.
He chose a normal plain as the core, which surprisingly cost him zero TP.
For the realm shape, he chose a floating island, which cost 5k TP.
Then, the time settings.
For every increase, he paid 1k TP.
After some calculations, he finally chose 50x, meaning that for every hour spent outside, he would spend 50 hours in his realm.
Then, he added the no-death rule and creation rule that allowed him to shape the realm with words. Both had caused a whopping 40k TP, leaving him with just 5k TP.
