Chapter 14 - On the Way to the Tower of Chaos

On the Way to the Tower of Chaos

The sun shone in the sky.

The Tower was still there.

Too tall to comprehend — as if it pierced the heavens.

No matter which direction one looked, it always seemed close, always ahead, like a divine mirror reflecting in all directions.

Danilo held the Sealing Sword in his hands, now cloaked in shadows.

His eyes, still freshly adapted to the full activation of his chaotic lineage, gleamed with deep black light.

Each step he took left faint cracks on the hardened ground.

Behind him, his family watched. They didn't follow.

— "You promised you'd return, Father," said his daughter, firm.

He smiled.

— "I promise… and this time, I'll keep it."

He looked away, resolved.

The living needed to learn how to live again.

And he would be their example.

🛤️ The Path

The journey to the Tower was both short and long.

Short, because the moment you wanted to go, the Tower seemed to draw near.

Long, because each step came with signs of pain, chaos, and primitive survival.

Only then did Danilo remember — there was no need to walk.

He could simply call upon the Tower, and he would be brought inside.

Still, he looked around.

Corpses everywhere.

🌀 The Arrival

When he arrived, the steps at the base of the Tower were already visible.

Its size was impossible to grasp.

The steps looked like polished black stone but pulsed as if alive.

Indecipherable inscriptions coiled along its walls.

And at the top of the entrance arch, a voice echoed in the minds of all living beings:

[THE TOWER OF CHAOS IS OPEN]

"In this new world, each floor is a trial.

Every victory is a chance.

And every failure… an end.

Climb, if you dare.

Evolve, if you are worthy.

Die… if you are weak."

He took his first step.

The Sealing Sword glowed.

The Patriarch's Ring radiated warmth.

The Flame of Eternal Judgment burned softly behind his eyes.

Danilo stood on the first step.

He took a deep breath.

And smiled.

— "I'm not climbing to survive…" he whispered.

— "I'm climbing to rule."

A panel appeared:

🛡️ [Entry Recognized — Chaotic Lineage: 100%]

Special Climbing Conditions Activated

Difficulty increased by 200%

Hidden paths unlocked: ABYSS MODE

Tower's secret ability will be unlocked on the 10th floor

Danilo touched the base of the Tower.

The stone trembled.

And he stepped inside.

The light enveloped him like a cloak.

The world behind him vanished.

The first floor had begun.
