David achieved a significant level of power after leaving Earth and reshaping its base and structure, achieving five lightning bolts. With the help of the Eden mbers, he obtained a lot of resources, but it was still insufficient to face Kayden. With his seven rays and a much more advanced path, Kayden vastly surpassed anything David had achieved. Furthermore, David was never a particularly talented person.
"Sleep well, David," Kayden said. His voice sent a shiver through David, but before he could react, Kayden severed his head with a clean swing of his katana. He collected the opponent’s body into his spatial earring. Before turning to the other opponent, he jumped out of the bubble, fearing he would be the next to die. In the next match, Kayden jumped out of the bubble as soon as possible.
Kayden had already reached the point in the tournant where he would advance to the next stage. He needed to reflect on what had happened a few minutes ago and put his mind inside the earring. David’s body was there, motionless, with expressions of surprise still apparent. His head was separated from his body, and Kayden spent a few seconds looking at the scientist.
"Such a dull ending," Kayden thought. He was still trying to understand the coincidence of finding David in that specific place at that particular ti. The coincidences that led the two to et were many, which did not seem normal. Kayden pondered how David had lived all these years. David should have tried hard to be in the fourth realm in a few centuries, but his talent was ager and his will was not enough to make up for it, which kept him only in the fourth realm.
Kayden didn’t know what to think. Everything was so bland and fast. The situation had not yet sunk in for him. It was sothing very random. After a few minutes, Kayden accepted the situation. Life was not a movie or an action story; they wouldn’t fight an epic battle to the death on a planet about to explode. Life was boring and monotonous. There was no happiness or other emotion; in fact, he felt a small weight lift from his mind as Han’s mory was respected and avenged.
"Why are you gloomy?" asked Felix the cat, who ignored Kayden’s emotionless look and lay on his shoulder. "I an, even darker than normally."
"Nothing much," Kayden replied, beginning to think his way through as ti passed. This event would last at least another full day. Only at the celebration party would he go to the next floor. Battles continued in the skies. Kayden looked for any sign of anyone else from Eden as he cultivated his path. In all the decades he had been atop rlin’s solar system, he had never thought of seeking out the wizards of Eden. He simply forgot about them. Even if he rembered, he would still ignore them and focus on himself.
A day later, one of the natives stood out, as agreed with the leaders behind the shadows. Natives should have their cultures and places intact. The championship ended with great music playing everywhere. People started to get up and dance, and several food tables appeared so everyone could eat to their heart’s content. The festive and joyful atmosphere perated the place and only increased.
It took Kayden and Felix a few minutes to find one of the goblets containing the golden wine. As soon as they drank it, they felt their bodies shrinking and shrinking, a completely strange sensation. This only stopped when the two found themselves in a new environnt with their normal bodies. There was no change in his sensations or vision, they just appeared elsewhere quickly.
The surrounding environnt was at a very high point. They were on a huge dais with a few pedestals around it, with hundreds of people appearing at any given ti, all looking disoriented.
"Welco, climbers, to the first floor of World S. This is a floor of dungeons and an entire planet dominated only by climbers. In the next few minutes, several guilds will co to you. So have already been recruited previously because of their fa, while others will receive their first offerings," announced a voice.
Kayden was practically unknown, as he never stood out anywhere and just passed through the floors as quickly as possible, not even making a single acquaintance during all these years. He lost track of ti but estimated that three or four years must have passed inside the tower. He would open his private broadcasts when he thought it had been a long ti since the last one or when he had so ti left.
His new form of videos climbing the tower and docunting this made him receive many more views, reaching the 140 billion mark, practically doubling in just a few years.
Kayden was experiencing rapid growth, but his fa was limited to a specific audience. He already had so notoriety outside, but it was ridiculously small, comparable to soone famous in a small town in a small country on Earth.
"Kayden!" soone called, making the boy automatically go on the defensive, ready to attack. No one was supposed to be able to identify him; besides, no one was supposed to know him there.
The person who approached him was a four-ard humanoid, more than two ters tall, with a single eye on his head and completely white skin. He was wearing a shirt and pants made of a strange material.
"Who are you?" Kayden asked imdiately, preparing so escape spells.
"I forgot you wouldn’t recognize . It’s been a few centuries, Kayden Heart. I am Thoth," the humanoid replied. Kayden imdiately rembered the na. Thoth was one of the most mysterious people he had ever encountered.
"Don’t ask questions; I’m not going to explain. You might be wondering why I’m here. You see, I pulled the strings of fate a little and handed David to you on a platter. I was hoping for a more emotional scene, but that’s okay, " Thoth said, surprising Kayden.
Kayden was amazed, not only to find Thoth again in a different body and an unexpected circumstance but also for him to admit to being able to manipulate destiny, sothing that, according to his knowledge, was ridiculous.
"Rember you owed a favor? I want you to join one of the guilds in this place called the Night Wolves."
Kayden owed him a favor and always kept his favors in mind.
"I can join as long as they don’t hinder my progress," Kayden said, not wanting to waste ti even though he had hundreds of years ahead of him.
"Don’t worry about it. Look for them and tell them you ca for ," Thoth said, disappearing shortly thereafter.
"Who was he, Kayden?" Felix asked, unable to feel anything from the four-ard humanoid.
"An old acquaintance who is probably the strongest person I’ve ever t in my life," Kayden replied, no doubt about it. The situation only increased his certainty.
"He seed strong. Wake up when you need ," Felix said, going back to sleep. Kayden spent a few seconds thinking about the coincidence of this eting.
Then he started searching for any sign of the guild. It didn’t take long to spot a teenager with a flag a wolf and a moon. There were dozens of other similar representations, but Kayden could feel Thoth’s mana perating the flag.
The teenager was one of the few seemingly normal humans Kayden had ever seen, at least until he noticed a furry black tail behind him. The young man in front of him had a dium height, white hair, and black eyes. Furthermore, he appeared to be in the fourth realm, with six or seven levels, but Kayden did not feel any threat from him, even with the teenager carrying a staff on his back and displaying several layers of muscles.
Around him were four other teenagers who appeared to be friends. Each of them had different characteristics. Two were won who fought with staff and appeared to be offensive mages to Kayden. One had red hair and extrely white skin, while the other had blue hair and brown skin. What differentiated their race was that they both had four eyes and were a little taller than the human average.
The other two were n. One appeared to be a kind of short, heavily furred beast-man, also appearing to be a wizard, with prominent canines. The last one was an enormous rock with giant hands and an even larger body, easily three ters tall and appearing to weigh dozens of tons. The stone giant didn’t carry any weapons and didn’t look like soone with the ability to cast many spells.
The four appeared to have similar levels to the leader, with just a few differences in simple numbers. Kayden didn’t sense any danger from any of them; They looked like flowers created in the greenhouse, like most of the young people in the tower. Climbing the tower was not easy, but when done with a large group of people, it beca not very complicated. Kayden estimated that a group of ten third-realm mages could probably reach floor number 30 without much difficulty.
"Hello," Kayden’s voice made everyone jump in surprise; they hadn’t even noticed his presence a few ters away from them.
