On the second day after his return to the university, Rhys visited the expansive university library in search of deeper insight into the mysterious phrase "Vorithra Sylithen."The enigmatic and somewhat ominous chant had been resonating in his mind ever since he entered the tower of ascension for the second time.Initially, while he had dismissed hearing the chant as a mere coincidence during his first entry into the tower, its recurrence confirmed to him that there was undoubtedly some significant meaning behind it.Motivated by a blend of curiosity and a sense of impending importance, he decided to search more about the phrase, hoping to uncover any clue that could explain its importance.Having even talked to Kael and Varyn about it the previous night, Rhys had already tried to see if anyone had heard about the weird phrase, or experienced the same phenomenon as he did, however, Kael and Varyn seemed as clueless about this phrase as Rhys was himself.***As Rhys reached the univers

"Oh you're back here already? I told you, I'm not going to let you issue this book to your dormitory, it's a very valuable book, just take your time and read it here-" The old librarian said, as Rhys shook his head in denial. "I'm not here to issue this book, I'm just here to ask you about the identity of the guy who issued this book before me. The one you were talking about, the guy in the first batch who was looking desperately for it-" Rhys explained, as the Librarian's usual calm and happy demeanor turned solemn. "That… hmm…. History hasn't been kind to that boy, he was a promising talent 20 years ago, but now he's one of the most notorious criminals of the Tower" The old librarian said, as Rhys's curiosity only increased after hearing these words. "Oh? Can you still tell me his name?" Rhys requested, as the old librarian contemplated his request for a while. "Officially, I'm not allowed to tell you his name. It's been outlawed at the university by Professor Reeves, after he ki

After memorizing the full contents of the Book Of Champions, Rhys decided to head out of the library with his mind filled with doubts. He had to start ascending the tower fast to catch-up to his peers before the final evaluation, however, with the threat of 'Vorithra Slyithen', Rhys was unsure if ascending fast was a good idea? According to Vladimir's notes, while just the presence of the Champion was enough to trigger unexpected dungeon raids and events, this danger was more pronounced on special floors such as floor 10-20-30 and so on. As the Champion matured and tried to climb higher, the threat he faced from the mysterious phenomenon 'Vorithra Slyithen' also increased, as if there was anything that Rhys realized from reading about Elenion's life, it was how much he regretted losing his teammates to floor raids which became increasingly difficult as time went on. To ascend the tower, Rhys definitely needed a strong party around him as nobody could climb the full length of the to

Apart from the more theoretical subjects, the others were pretty easy for Rhys to catch up-to. Battle Strategies and Leadership was a subject that relied 20% on studying history, tactics and past mistakes made by strategist's and 80% on natural charisma and creativity of the individual studying it, and thankfully for Rhys, natural charisma and creativity were both qualities that he had in abundance. Having experienced a war first-hand and being mentored by the Gods Of War, Caden, himself. Rhys now had a grasp on how to view a battlefield and how to strategize, as although not completely conventional in his approach, he found creative solutions to every problem his army was put in, during mock practice sessions. Within a week, with the help of his photographic memory, Rhys managed to memorize all the major battle formations and how they were historically used to fight major wars and after completing and submitting pending assignments, Rhys managed to easily catch-up to the class, bei

"Welcome to the origin realm, Champion of Sol." The three eyed demon said, as the only thing going on in Rhys's mind, was how three eyed demon's were supposed to be long extinct.He still remembered studying about it clearly in the Monsters and their Weakness's class, just a couple of days ago, that one of the races in the universe that had gone extinct due to evolution were the 'Three Eyed Demon's'.Having an incredibly low success rate of reproduction, with the women only being able to conceive children for 1 day in every three years, the Three Eyed Demon's were a race that had been wiped out from the Tower, after the Olympian Generation.There had not been a single Three Eyed Demon spotted over the last 6000 years and they had been officially declared as an extinct race.To see such a being now alive in front of him, Rhys understood that the place he was in was nothing simple, as apart from the freaky atmosphere charged with mana, even the inhabitants of this place were extremely s
