There were still a few minutes left until the 21st floor officially ended.
...
The White Zone had beco more peaceful.
Those ghosts had completely disappeared.
But at the sa ti, the White Zone was about to disappear.
"So you changed my mories, Kael?"
Evelyn asked, leaning against the tree.
Her fingers intertwined with his.
"Of course. It was the only way."
"No wonder I suddenly felt my mind beco much more at ease, and so of my mories have beco very different from what I rember."
"Well, you are the gate to summon the Rust Seraph, which ans you have a certain hatred for this world, for everything."
"...You understand better than I do."
Her red lips curled up slightly.
He smiled.
"Of course, I’m your lover."
To be honest, Kael didn’t understand why the ga developer included this mory-altering action in Tower of Glory.
However... he didn’t hate it that much.
Because thanks to it, he learned a lot more about Evelyn Evernight.
"But, isn’t what you did an invasion of privacy?"
Suddenly, the villainess opened her mouth.
Causing Kael to pause for a few seconds.
But then, very quickly, he regained his usual sly expression.
"Will you hate for that?"
The villainess sighed.
"Of course not."
...
[Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
A huge noise unexpectedly rang out.
Following that was the collapse of the White Zone.
"What is that sound?"
Evelyn frowned slightly, displeased by the overly loud sound.
Kael kindly explained:
"That’s the congratulatory sound after a floor’s mission is completed."
He chuckled.
"You should get used to it, because you’re going to climb the Tower with in the future, right?"
"...Fine, I’ll try."
The system continued to send notifications.
Notifications that only Kael could see.
[Today is a good day.]
[The 21st floor mission has been completed!]
By a single person.
[Calculating the rits...]
[Completed.]
[Top 1: Climber - Kael Draven.]
And that’s all.
[Congratulations! You have received 400 Experience from clearing the 21st floor.]
Kael smirked.
That was more than enough.
He could vaguely guess what the next system ssage would be.
[Congratulations!]
[You have beco an Awakener!]
’Aweso!’
Kael couldn’t hide his smile, his joy.
Beside him, the villainess tilted her head in wonder.
"What are you smiling at?"
He shook his head.
"Nothing, I just got stronger. That ans from now on, I won’t need you to protect anymore."
"Oh, I protect you? How co I didn’t know that?"
He scratched his head.
"Well... you are really much, much stronger than ."
That wasn’t all.
[Tower has appreciated your contributions.]
"Huh?"
Kael’s eyes widened.
"Don’t tell ..."
His smile grew even brighter.
[You’ve officially beco a Ranker!]
[Your top is 95, work harder in the future!]
To be honest, being a Ranker didn’t have too many perks.
All Ranker got was fa, and received a crazy cool Title from the Tower.
...
And that’s exactly what Kael was aiming for!
’I an, who wouldn’t want to beco famous, then get a cool nickna?’
[Your Title has been decided.]
[The Masochist.]
"..."
He blinked a few tis.
"Huh?"
Kael rubbed his eyes a few tis.
The Title was still the sa.
[The Masochist.]
That was his Title.
He took a deep breath.
’Are you kidding , Tower Master?!?!?!?!’
Just like that, the notification ssages ended.
To sum it up, this ti, Kael had successfully beco an Awakener.
At the sa ti, he beca a Ranker.
However, he had a Title that couldn’t be any worse.
But!
The worst thing was...
He didn’t receive any new Ability.
[Better luck next ti.😂]

***
Floor 10.
Located extrely deep in the Deadly Forest, so deep that no one, not even a Ranker, dared to enter.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion rang out.
Shaking the heavens and earth.
At the sa ti, when the explosion ended, it was also the end of another mountain.
Recently, the mountains deep in the Deadly Forest had been continuously disappearing.
And this was the result of a single person.
Not a monster.
Nor a Ranker in the top 10.
But more than that.
That was the achievent of Hans Varun - the protagonist - the regressor - the owner of [Sword Saint].
Yes, that was true.
While Kael was spending his days happily with his lover...
Uhm...
While he was struggling to complete the 21st floor’s mission, Hans had received his first strongest Ability.
[Sword Saint.]
"So tired."
Complaining, the protagonist wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"As expected, I still need to train. A lot."
In his previous life, people always said that he was extrely lucky to possess such a powerful Ability.
But they didn’t understand that in order to truly use it, the wielder had to beco worthy of it.
Then, he glanced at his achievents during this ti.
The entire beautiful and sowhat eerie forest from before was now...
...A pile of scrap.
Thousands of trees were uprooted.
Dozens of holes appeared.
And the craziest thing was that hundreds of mountains were erased from reality.
Forever.

During this ti, Hans had also officially beco an Awakener.
As expected, the efforts he had put in had not been wasted.
The protagonist let out a satisfied smile.
Yet, at that mont...
Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap.
A continuous clapping sound rang out.
Followed by a familiar voice.
"That’s amazing. I’ve only been gone for about 2 weeks, and you’ve already grown to this level?"
The protagonist’s facial muscles froze.
But very quickly, a smile as bright as the sun appeared on his lips.
"Kael!"
Filled with joy, Hans spread his arms wide, and without hesitation, ran towards him.
Expecting a warm hug.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Kael didn’t feel disgusted.
After all, the protagonist’s body was currently covered in sweat, and gave off the distinct scent of soone who hadn’t bathed in a long ti.
"Sigh. Whatever, he’s the protagonist of this ga after all."
Then, he accepted the hug.
***
Sitting in a cave that seed to be Hans’s ho during his training period, they began to chat.
"How was your life on the 21st floor, Kael? Was it bad? Were you bullied? If so, do you need to take revenge?"
The protagonist spoke too much, and too quickly.
To the point that he didn’t even have a chance to interrupt.
"I’ve gotten stronger now, Kael! That’s for sure. So you can trust too!"
"You’ve truly gotten stronger, a lot."
Kael glanced at Hans’s achievents.
"But don’t worry, my ti on the 21st floor was pretty good, and I wasn’t bullied like you were worried about."
"Really?"
He let out a sigh of relief.
’...What’s this? Why is Hans more worried about than I am about myself?’
He thought, scratching his head.
"So, did interesting things happen?"
Kael rolled his eyes.
"Yes."
"Oh, and what is it?"
"I have a lover. And maybe we’re going to get married soon."
"..."
The protagonist was so shocked that he was speechless.
