"If you two have faith in me, you must go," Liam said, as Rhys and Sophia faced a moral dilemma upon hearing his offer.It wasn't that Rhys did not trust Principal Liam outright, but when Liam began discussing sanity while explaining his offer, it made Rhys very hesitant.On one hand, he truly wanted to become stronger than he currently was, and the idea of having the strength of a floor 20 Ascender while only on floor three seemed like a fantastic proposition. However, Rhys still felt a nagging hesitation as he waited to hear what Sophia had to say.Ever since the first day of university, when Principal Liam slapped the arrogance out of Sophia, she harbored some hatred towards him.It was one of her ambitions to one day seek revenge upon him for the humiliation he had put her through, however, she was suppressing these desires until the time was right.At Least until she was a student and much weaker than Liam, she could not actually act upon it, as for now she needed to swallow her

"So what's it going to be Nagini? Peace or War?" Liam asked, presenting the floor 54 master with an ultimatum.*Hisss*"You really have a foul mouth on you Liam, it's a wonder to me how someone hasn't already buried you 6 feet under" Nagini said as Liam shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the specters floating around the room."It's not like people haven't tried….." he said, as Nagini chuckled at his response."You- Champion Of Sol, tell me something…" Nagini said, turning her attention towards Rhys."If Floor Master Kartikeya doesn't help me, will you swear on your honor to retrieve our family jewel when you are in a position to barter with him?" Nagini asked, as she decided to put her faith behind Rhys and his honor." If you don't mind, your highness, can you please elaborate on what's going on? I-I actually have no idea.I was sleeping a few moments ago, now I'm here, I don't know why at all ...." Rhys said, as he threw Principal Liam a nervous glance."Oh?...." Nagini said, as

As Rhys entered the ancestral chambers of the snake-men clan, he felt a weird sense of Deja-Vu; his surroundings looked and felt the same as the one where he met Dreavon in his vision, as he could almost imagine seeing him before his eyes here, as if that moment was about to recreate itself.There were nothing but white objects within the space, as the floor beneath his feet was white, the walls in the distance were white and even the sky above was pure white.His colorful university robes that he walked into the chamber with, slowly lost color before his very eyes, turning pure white without a spec of color on them."Welcome champion of Sol-" a gentle voice said as Rhys looked around but did not find out where the sound came from in this white space."Woah-"Rhys said, startled as a beautiful snake-woman suddenly appeared before him out of nowhere."Hello, I'm Nubi, the guide" said the snake-woman as she wiggled her tongue infront of Rhys rather cutely."Hello. I'm Rhys" said Rhys, a

It was already past 5pm when Rhys entered the main premises which was why he was not supposed to partake in any activities for the day.Through talking with Nubi, he realized that there were 4 other individuals in here with him right now, however, only one of them was a snake-men.Apparently, to save the clan from complete extinction after the snake-men ancestor ascended beyond the tower, the previous snake-men clan leader had made alliances with various religions to use their ancestral hall once in a while in return for a defense agreement.Despite owning the hall, the snake-men could only send 5 of their young ones inside every year as all the other slots were pledged away to various forces, which was why Nagini giving away one position to Rhys was that big of a deal.She had prioritized giving him a slot over the promising young of her clan and had done so with no immediate benefit in sight.It was a decision that was sure to be unpopular with the elders of the clan, however, it wa

Rhys's good mood from training was completely ruined when he reached the breakfast hall and was surrounded by people who seemed on the verge of mental instability."There's a new kid here, hahaha, one more has come here to suffer, one more is fooled by the promise of power, what did they take from you handsome boy? What do you even lack?" A rough voice said as Rhys ignored him."Leave him alone Gerald, for all we know he can be deaf right now" Another male voice that was slightly less deep than the one before said as Rhys felt incredibly suffocated for not having the ability to see them.Unfortunately, his noise perception was not yet great.He could determine the general direction from where sound was coming from, however, he could not determine how far away or close the person speaking it was."Oh fuck off Leonard, look at him, with such good looks I would make Mia fall in love with me in an instant. That hoe, all she cares about is good looks.I am the mudgong champion, my father i
