Chapter 5 - The ancient tower

An endless list of options appeared in front of him as Rahen checked the scroll. Seeing it impossible to go through them one by one he decided to check the top recommendations first .The list of top 100 items appeared in front of him.It took him some time to go through them all better he finalised 3 options from the list that he liked the most.

The one he liked the most was an item named 'lower rank spirit feather' which allowed him to use magic spell 'magic arrow', even though it was a low rank spell the idea of using magic could get any man excited and Rahen was no exception to that

Next was an active skill that allowed him to strengthen any part of his body to a great degree, which was good for both offence and defence.

And the last option was also an item named 'food pill'. Even thought it was not a powerful item,Rahen was attracted to it since it solved his current problem.

Rahen took his time thinking about it but the thought of eating vomit finally compelled him to select the third option. Selecting it, the item scroll disappeared from his inventory, instead it was replaced by 50 pills that appeared there. According to the description one pill would last him 2 days which meant he had enough for 100 days.

Rahen quickly took out one of the pills and ate it, soon enough his hunger subsided. Maybe because he was just born or because of the pill he soon fell asleep on his back. When he woke up again it was already night and darkness had already engulfed the whole cave.

He looked around to see both of his parents sleeping there. Without making any noise he reached out to his inventory and a pitch black rock with star like pattern appeared in front of him. He touched it with his wing and turned into a ray of white light that disappeared into the stone.

Inside the space stone, Rahen stood in front of the ancient tower. The last time he had arrived here he couldn't do anything since he was just a larva but things were different this time. Balancing himself with each step he slowly walked toward the tower. Reaching the door a screen appeared in front of him

[ Welcome to ???

Which floor would you like to visit? ]

With the appearance of the message the basic details about the tower also entered his mind. Though the name of the tower was hidden he didn't pay much attention to it, rather he was focused on other details he received. The more he knew, the more excited he grew.

What he came to know was that the tower had seven floors in it, but only the first floor was available for him to use at the moment. According to the information this floor was dedicated for training only. It has specific ways for Rahen to train in stats, skills and even abilities. He could even go through specific training and customise his own training if he wants. Overall it was the best place in the world for someone to train.

Since it was the only option available he selected the first floor and the large majestic gate of the tower opened. He slowly walked through the gate and appeared in a vast land covered in short ankle height grass. Looking around he could see no end to this limitless expense of land.

A new screen appeared in front of him displaying all the options he had for training. He decided to train his stats first, since he was born not too long ago his body was very weak, so the first thing he needed to focus on was his body before anything else.

For the next three hours the system gave him tasks to complete various training exercises like running that helped him with agility, stamina training and weight training that helped him with strength and stamina.

Though the training was normal, what fascinated him the most was the tower itself. The area of the floor changed automatically according to his training needs, if he needed to run the area around him would start changing and a new track course for running would build itself for him to run on, similarly for other cases too the grassy plains would change according to his training needs.

And if what he knew was correct, then these changes would become even more drastic and would happen on a much larger scale as he made progress, he was really excited at the thoughts of what else the tower had in store for him.

He was exhausted when he came out of the stone after three hours, but he gained one stat in his agility and seeing hard work being paid had always been a thing to be happy about. Seeing that no one was awake yet he decided to join them by returning to the sweet embrace of sleep.

For the next three months Rahen led a boring but productive life. With nothing else to do he spent his entire time either sleeping or training, sometimes he would enter the space stone and just roam there rather than training. Maybe he was experiencing loneliness since he had no one to talk to, that might also be the reason why he would occasionally try to have conversation with the system.

But he improved greatly in those three months of continuous training, the most obvious difference was the change in his stats. His agility, stamina and defence stat more than doubled in that time and strength and vitality stats also improved by a lot, gaining two more levels in those days also helped with that, that gave him additional two points in all his stats.

Other than that he also worked on his skills. The tower provided tailor made training sessions for each skill that helped his greatly in understanding and discovering the uses of those skills.

For 'inspect' and 'energy leech' skills the tower would provide him with different kinds of organisms for him to practice, few of which were similar to those of Earth while most of them were not, he also learned that the absorption by the skill 'energy leech' could be controlled. As for the skill 'haste' he would be given a specific race track with many twists and turns that taught him to better control his skill. Overall he improved vastly in all aspects.

But when he entered the tower today he was a bit nervous, that was because he had decided that today would be the day he would try flying for the first time. This thought made him both excited and nervous, but he had already prepared himself to do that and would not back down. With nervousness he entered the first floor and selected the custom training for today's goal, with that the ground shook a little before changes started happening around him.
