After Rhys was knocked out cold, Nubi in her hall god form carried Rhys to the rewards room where she placed him on an intricately carved mana table and connected various ancient devices to every major nerve in his body."A pure blooded human…. What a lucky boy, what ridiculous odds for him to be pure even after the tower has been on his planet for thousands of years" Nubi murmured to herself as she began the process of unlocking Rhys's latent DNA potential.Rhys was a pure blood human. Having only human DNA in his ancestry, which was extremely rare in the modern day and age.In this universe where the tower existed since the beginning of time, all the myriad different races interacted with each other since time immemorial and the concept of pure bloodlines had become blurred since ages.Across the cosmos, every species naturally underwent the processes of evolution and mutation, each at its own pace.This variability in evolutionary rates was largely dictated by environmental conditi

"Now open the envelope I'm going to present you with-" Nubi said as she presented Rhys with an envelope containing information about Violet.As Rhys opened the envelope, instead of looking at letters like he expected he would, he was instead teleported inside the envelope, dragged to witness a scene that looked like the future.************Rhys found himself staring at a battlefield, where a future image of him stood alongside Erin, Buhara, Sophia and the Tiger Guild members as the group seemed to be fighting against a beast tide."No mercy….. they are holding Violet within that castle, today we burn down that damned castle and Perseus alongside it.Today we bring back our own!" Ren shouted as the Tigers cheered and charged headfirst into the beast-tide.—----- scene change —------The scenery around Rhys shifted and he found himself inside the castle walls with death and destruction all around him.It seemed to be the aftermath of that same battle as it seemed as if the Tigers had m

From the moment Rhys entered the university cafeteria all eyes were immediately drawn to him.The crowd's eyes were trained on him not only because of his improved physique and stature, but his overall aura.He did everything too calmly. Whether it was moving, whether it was talking. There was not one wasted movement about him, not one frantic gesture.He was completely in command of himself and the energy around him and this captivated the attention of all those around him.In this university where everyone was anxious, where everyone was self conscious, Rhys somehow seemed aloof, as if he was above these basic things."So what did I miss?" Rhys asked his friends as he began slowly biting into the delicious food in front of him.'Mmhmm ....Food…. This tastes great', Rhys thought internally as he enjoyed the sensation of having his belly filled with warm food again as he relished every bite that he took."Oh boy, where even to start-" Erin said excitedly as he began narrating all the

As Rhys stepped out of the teleportation gate, he emerged with his peers into a small clearing, encircled by dense forests. Unlike the rest of his batch, who promptly began their quest for gathering evaluation points, Rhys hesitated, absorbing the new environment, when Sophia approached him with an inquiry. "So, what's the plan, Rhys?" she asked and in response, Rhys offered a noncommittal shrug and gestured towards Erin and Buhara, indicating that they should contribute their thoughts. Admitting his recent absence from their training, Rhys openly addressed his friends, "I've been out of the loop for months, while you all have kept up with the classes. Given our current predicament, what do you think our next move should be?" Despite Rhys's recent absence from team activities, Erin and Buhara continued to regard him as their de facto leader. The power dynamic that the three had established in the first month of university still seemed to hold strong, as despite Sophia joining the

"Well, that's the first team to find the river-" Professor Maven muttered to himself as he secretly tracked Rhys's squad from a distance and graded them.Principal Liam had specially dispatched him to look after Rhys and Sophia from a distance as although the two were supposed to be safe in this forest area that was isolated from the outside world using a magic barrier, Liam wanted to take no risks whatsoever.Since he was looking after them, he was also supposed to grade them as he relayed his findings to the evaluation team via a communication device."Students, Erin, Buhara, Rhys and Sophia have found the river.I repeat, they have found the river" Professor Maven said, as the evaluation officials acknowledged the message and graded them accordingly.*******While Sophia refilled her water canteen and Buhara tried to catch fish, Rhys pulled Erin to a side for a pViolette talk."What happened Sir Rhys, why are you pulling me aside?" Erin asked as he noticed the seriousness in Rhys's
