"What's so interesting?"
Jas's question seed to attract Ronald's attention again, Ronald, who had been observing the sea behind Jas until then, beca as still as the sea itself and suddenly spoke:
"As I said, there is no room for lies on the black path, only truth and the desires of the truth...The interesting thing is that you are Mr Jas. From the mont the Tower was created by Chaos itself, it has always worked in the sa way, it was a system Chaos put in place."
"But you are so naive, open to lies, unable to see the truth, and having wanted nothing or lost everything you wanted, unfortunately I am not capable of seeing the mories outside the tower or inside the tower, so I would like to ask you...what is your desire?"
When Ronald uttered these words, Jas was about to speak when he suddenly fell silent. Only the sound of breathing was heard in the white space.
"I don't have an answer...."
When Jas voiced this answer, Ronald spoke again with a smiling face:
"Innocence, lack of desire, and being lost. These three things are the main things that will kill you in the tower. Trusting everyone completely, not finding the reason to continue and finally losing yourself, these three things are the things you must escape from, Master Jas."
At Ronald's words Jas realised that the way he had expressed himself had suddenly changed, the floor manager seed to be looking at him positively.
"The Tower is out of its system because of your innocence. Your desire to see your family was not an absolute desire. In your heart, you already knew they were gone and you would never co back. While you thought that the tower was punishing you, the tower was desperately thinking about how it could test you. The black path lied for the first ti since the creation of the tower.
With the black path, it has ceased to be [the path of the righteous]."
"Master Jas. I am almost two billion years old, the tower has been around for such an enormous amount of ti and even longer. I have seen what many worthy warriors and even gods have gone through after losing their desires.
If I have to give you certain advice, find out what you want to do right away because hundreds of hundreds of thousands of things that will exploit your innocent heart will be waiting for you on the upper floors of the tower."
Jas had been writhing in strange emotions ever since he heard that he was [chosen]. Maybe Chaos had brought him to this tower to make him suffer, or just like in the films, a strange story of heroism lay behind this reality.
Nevertheless, there was one thing that even Jas could not deny. He had lost his family and cut them out of his heart because he thought they would live better in heaven than on earth. His girlfriend had probably cheated on him many tis, but because he loved his girlfriend, he didn't think about anything and was just happy to have her.
Maybe it was his desire, but he was very good at letting go of his attachnts, maybe that's why when the tower called him, all the desire he had for his girlfriend disappeared.
To live a good life? To give in to emotion? Jas didn't care about that, he just wanted sothing he could connect with.
He needed to be ruthless. Having enough desire.
"My desire...In my world, there is such a thing as gas, Mr Ronald, as I'm sure you've heard. So of the gas have characters based on the gods here, or using their direct natures. Perhaps I might wish to beco one of them."
Jas's words seed to fill the rabbit man's eyes with light as if this man had been waiting to et such a person for a long ti.
"Your wish...?"
"When the Tower summoned us, humans, when the towers appeared in our world, it explicitly told us that we could enter the ga of the gods, that we could beco a god. The tower makes this clear enough to us both on the outside and the inside and who knows, maybe to too...."
"It's a hard road, Master Jas. The tower loves to tell such lies to the living, as I said, the whole tower rewards the competent and deceives the incompetent with lies. Do you believe that you can enter places like Olympus, and Valhalla, where there are high Gods and Goddesses?"
After these words, Jas paused for a few seconds and just looked at Ronald. At that mont, he shook his head and said the words that all the gods and goddesses would hear and that would be engraved in the history books and even on the walls of the main castle of Olympus:
"Who knows, maybe I'll reach the top of the tower and pierce it, wouldn't it be great to et Chaos?"
These words literally echoed in the white space. Ronald did not know what to say and smiled in amazent, and after only a few seconds, laughter rose in the whole area:
"PUHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAA!!! 2 BILLION YEARS! 2 WHOLE BILLION YEARS AND I ET SOONE LIKE YOU FOR THE FIRST TI!!!!"
Jas couldn't stand this huge decibel sound and plugged his ears, he couldn't understand what was going on.
"Right...why co to the tower if that's not what the users...no the players want! Master Jas, I adore you, I will watch every step of your journey, every battle you fight, everything you lose, everything you win, every mont of happiness and every point of sadness."
These words were spoken in a gentle voice and turned Jas into a bewildered creature. The rabbit's ears were constantly moving and its eyes were shining with a rust-bright light.
"Please choose a card and move on, I have stolen enough of your precious ti."
Jas thought that everything was happening too fast and with that, he looked at the cards in front of him. He had never thought that he would choose his class by cards.
Yet there were more cards in front of him than he could have ever imagined, strangely enough almost every single card was either yellow with a golden glow or velvet red. There were only a few black cards among them.
Jas had no idea what to choose and on top of that the words that would require another wait rang in his ears:
"Rember, Master Jas, each class on these cards is a gift from the gods, so choose accordingly, though everything will be random, but be careful."
