Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

"It's not that she doesn't...she can't."

Leyla's words seemed to leave a bigger question mark in James' mind.

"Those people, they are the people and creatures who betrayed the goddess, the people, not the monsters, destroyed the statue. Every one of them was cursed by the tower itself. Except for Leno, a few knight captains and hunters, every one of them is completely cursed, their souls are being destroyed more and more with each death."

James' legs had practically stopped working when Leyla uttered these words, his body seemed to remind him of his fatigue.

"The tower...is far more criminal and dark than I expected, but it is not like I don't understand what the tower did. The criminals should be punished, after all, the law is full of loopholes even if it works concretely." James said, even though he was sad, it still made him sad that Leno was always experiencing these things even if he didn't know it.

Acting as if something suddenly came to his mind, James grabbed his chin and said, "At least Leno must not have died every time, considering the people who cleaned the hell difficulty."

Leyla tilted her head a little when she heard these words and then said, "I don't know what you mean."

James paused for a few seconds after these words and asked, "Madam...How many people chose this challenge?" in amazement.

"Fourteen hundred and twelve people," Leyla replied.

"How many...managed to pass?" asked James, hoping that he hadn't thought of the answer correctly.

Leyla smiled at this question but said "One. You are the only one who passed." in a serious manner.

James put his hands to his head and rubbed his face, all this information seemed to overwhelm him.

"By the way, wouldn't you like to receive the reward for completing your mission?" Leyla suddenly said.

James looked at Leyla as if he had completely forgotten about it and then said, "Please."

With that, Leyla raised her hand a little and opened her palm, causing a window to open in front of James:

[Gold Master (Legendary++++)

Each monster the user kills will earn them gold. This gold can be used to trade with NPCs, players, and gods.]

James grimaced when he read this ability, he couldn't understand how this ability could be ranked Legendary++++.

"I can see the confusion on your face, Mr James, but rest assured, you can only earn gold from guild quests on the floors or special quests like this one.

Unfortunately, the reward for this quest was not gold, so you could not earn gold, but with this ability, it is not difficult for you to become one of the richest people in the tower, and you will be happy to know that this ability was created for you."

As soon as Leyla's words passed James's ears, it was possible to see the silent happiness on his face, maybe he was not speaking, but James's eyes were dancing.

"Thank you then," James said gently and then started to speak again with a small cough:

"I have a question. About Clarent. After the sword sliced through the neck of the High Chimera, the monster tried to pull it out by holding the sword, but every time, the monster's claws dried up and started to disappear. I don't understand what's going on, I mean, the sword burns the monsters, I understand that, but there was no explanation about them holding the sword."

James's questions must have been very high quality because Leyla nodded her head as if in approval.

"Look, Mr James. This tower is alive, every single part of it. A very high number of floors, an infinite number of regions, an infinite number of processes and creatures from different worlds, universes and realities live in this tower. You earthlings are not the only creatures trying to become God."

Leyla smiled and took a deep breath after saying this, and then continued her speech:

"In that case, here's what you need to know. Gods can choose you, just like the creator Chaos, who is literally the highest-level godly being, a creator. NPCs can choose you. Human friends and even enemies can choose you. This means that mystical beasts, armour, fairies and weapons can choose you."

"Clarent is one of the holiest swords in existence. It was one of the swords of King Arthur, leader of the Round Table and leader of Britain. It was literally the sword that gave the knights their honour and rank. It was a perfect-looking sword made of volcanic stone."

"Can you understand? Clarent chose you even though it was just a replica. It's not your [10x Gacha] ability that gave you this sword, but Clarent's true form, King Arthur himself."

James didn't know what to say after these words, he kept blinking his eyes and didn't know whether to smile or faint.

"King Arthur...chose me? Why?"

"Can't you see?" A pure-blood Englishman, about to commit suicide, is summoned to the tower by an order from Chaos, whereupon he acquires the sword arts of a holy swordsman like Galahad. The Black and Yellow cards are not like the others, they only give the user the abilities or items that best suit them. Galahad did not give you that ability.

The Tower saw you as someone with enough honour to have Galahad's power that the Tower chose you."

"An honour so great has been bestowed upon you that you cannot even know it. So Clarent chose you while you were with King Arthur, and the replica was given to you by King Arthur himself. You, James Arthur Black, have been chosen, and you can be sure that this is the most important thing for the tower. Everywhere you step, there will be creatures trying to be chosen by the tower.

Even most of the gods and legendary heroes were like that."

"This means that if anyone other than the one chosen by the holy sword tries to hold it with evil deeds, it will burn, and the volcanic essence containing the essence of the sword will dry up the person holding it until they die."

"Remember James, you may have chosen to enter the tower to escape reality, but now that you are here, you have a destiny to write, the destiny of yours, you can rise as high as you can and go beyond eternity. You can become one of the gods whose stories you have heard."

"You have been chosen."
