Chapter 1 - The challenge

... It was cold and a little dark...

...Mountains stacking upon the surface, deserted as hell, everything was blur and dusty..

Clothed with nothing but a tathered pants, not even a sandle on my foot, I was weak and panting heavily as though I was trying to battle with death, until I absorbed in air hard and finally regaining my breath..

*thinking to my self*

_After so long and witnessing many deaths, taking down many monster..

I've finally.... Finally...

I've become even stronger...

Is this the end to the numbers of ruinesI've crossed?

.... how long as it been? How many ruins of this last floor I've I moved from? can't remember?

_ever since then... I never thought of anything but constant survival..

Now I'm here...

I can't even tell what ruin I'm in... All I know... is that I'm in the 12th floor.

_suddenly I found myself in devoided place barely able to see anything, even my own body, it became more frightening, *I've I gone blind?*, Is what I thought to myself. At that moment something so bright it filled at least a spot of this void,

_what is that thing, *my face that looked like what a sun was scorching, redirected to a scared and shocked expression, my eyes became a widened as if I was onto a truth*

_No.... Who is that person..?

*He stepped forward closing a little gap until reaching a distance which I would highlight to approximately 50 metres away, his face bright and having a full beard, short yet looking so firm, his gold coloured eyes so fierce and his aura not just overwhelming and intimidating, but made, as if I'm face to face with a god*

_Mortal.. I've appraised your bravery..., I how strong you've become...

_Tell me mortal... What seek you from this realm?

*My eyes widened, I became even more shocked by his words, claiming that he as been monitoring my growth and struggle for survival, I became a bit annoyed but curious*

_who-who are you...? _No.. what are you? *I said with a weak tone yet looking upward at him with a shrude expression*

*With a smirk on the strange beings face, he looked at me and responded with pride*

"I am Zhaffa. Ruler over 12 constellation and creator of the tower you found yourself in".

You can call me... Omni king

*My body trembling at his words, I knelt down in shivers and trying to understand what he said*

_12 constellation? What do you mean?

"He exclamated further on to it"

_it means 12 universes that is completely Governed by me..., *glaring further at me* but that's not necessary right now...

*With a fierce expression yet calm voice I utter*

_so... You're the one who brought me to this place.....? The reason why I wished for death all these time... The reason why.... Why I can't see home...

*Tears rolled down from my eyes and anger uncontrollable, I let out*

_How do I go home?!!!

*Not faltering at my questions he replied*

_ you've got courage, raising your tone like that.

However... I won't say you're quite done or ready yet to go to the place you call home...

*Listening to his words, I could already tell what he's saying, what I have to do is..*

_what do I have to do?

*Smirking a little, he stares at me before letting out*

_You've already learnt and surpassed the peak martial arts of the beasts within the tower and gotten stronger, and you're quite well known with magic...

_in other to fulfill that which you want, you must come face with the final trial that waits you... And in order for you to cary out this quest, I'm willing to offer you any item you desire within this realm...

*He gazed at me again more descriptively*

I ask you again.... What seek you from this realm?

*Gazing back unto him with a bold, fearless and even more serious expression I said*

I need to get stronger... I need a weapon that can match my current strength and my martial art.....! If I have to face something of the great course, I'll have to be even more powerful than this..

*A hint of smile appears on his face as he nods in approval*

Your request is palpable, and what kind of weapon do you think resonants with your soul?

*Thinking to myself* "well since I've mastered the extremity of martial arts, and even went as far to extend beyond just the basic understanding of Magic, no weapon I used could handle the weigh in which I observe, nor did any weapon last on my hands as it would break, unable to handle it, my essence is even that of both the yin and yang attribute that represents light and dark, life and death, good and evil, which means..."

_ I'll need a sword that caries and releases dark world energy of yang attribute and a spear that can transmits a positive light energy that stretches and have yin attribute as well.. having that, I can at least be able to go up against things that are beyond world boundary... *And with a smirk I let out* _It will suit my essence quite well_

*His eyes widened slightly, impressed by my request*

_"A dual-souled sword the one embodiment of Tyranny and chaos".

"Along side the spear of 'Luminari' that converges with the light of heaven".

*He looks at me with caution, before..*

Hhmph..!.

*He raises his left hand, and a gosh of crimson red and glooming light aura flowed throughout the void, even taken me aback, as the two weapons materialized from two different wormhole*

These are not just weapons, but entities that are not just for you suit..! they are more than you conceal, the more you continue on you journey the more you'll get to know of them.. what they truly are...

You can give them a name, if you like.

*As the weapons was done materializing, I held on to them with the sword at my right hand, and spear at my left*

_i shall name the sword... Excalibur... As for the spear.. hmmm..? I will call you Luna...

*After naming the weapons I Looked back at him and said* _ I'll make sure.. to put that which You've given me into good use.

*Zhaffa, thinking to himself* "isn't Excalibur already taken for another sword which I heard of from the other lower gods? Looking at him reminds me of when I was a Demi god of the incomplete nirvana.. not bad.. not bad at all".

_Mortal... Are you prepared for you last battle?

"With complete confidence and a stare of bloodlust I uttered"

I'm ready...

"I re-appeared at a Ruin of the 12th floor of the tower, it was completely different from the ruins I was in before appearing into that void, it's completely condensed with energy As if such energy is trying to protect the ruins"

_As I thought, the ruins in the floors are not yet finished, they were many other ruins of other floors I've crossed which I couldn't even count, and I'm guessing this might not be the last_

_hugh_??

"The ruin begins to tremble as something was being summoned to the ruin, I let my gaze up, preparing for what's coming, suddenly Three colossal creatures appeared'

1. **Gorvoth, the Sky Eater**: dragon-like with wings and red scales, darkness breathes.

2. **Terragor, the Earth Crusher**: golem-like and aura pacing from every part of its body, massive fists wielded with a war axe.

3. **Aeropex, the Storm Bringer**: winged lion-like with golden giant claws, lightning claws swipe.

_these... these are....

Danmit... How I'm I going to take on these three....?.
