"Holy moly! That's too much. Wait, wait a freaking minute! My powers, I can use them in the real world. Although this body is not my real body, I could still have those powers. So, if I go to the first floor, I can level up and improve my strength."

"But first, let's confirm something. System, open the rare treasure chest!" Peter mumbled with excitement in his eyes. He wanted to jump and shout but kept his cool.

Suddenly, a red treasure chest appeared in front of him. The golden beam spread out as the chest opened and Peter got flooded with different messages.

Effect 1: Swallowing one crystal can refill the depleted mana

Effect 2: Can be exchanged for Mana Coins

Effect 3: Can be used for healing]

"Shit! Holy shit! Holy molly shit! Is this freaking lowest level? Not even considering mana crystal which seems to be the gold mine alone, just the trident is enough to be the top class treasure. And, the key to leave and enter the tower."

"Fu*k! I'm fu*king entering this tower. But...…. Only when I overcome this fear of mine. Damn! I need to go back and check out if everything is alright. If I can really use my power outside, I can be a soul defender."

"From now on, no guilt, no regret, I am going to live the best of my life. But...…. There is one little problem. I am naked."

As he jumped up and down, he realized something was swinging up and down as well. Only then did he realize he was fighting naked. The hype of the battle completely made him ignore his clothing. Since he was only focused on winning.

As he wore a new set of clothes, he thought 'The second effect of the trident is making me little expectant. If my guess is not wrong, then it is supposed to do what I think it would. I think I should clear this dungeon once again and ask Hodder.'

After that, he did exactly what he planned. He cleared the dungeon once again and Hodder came out.

"Congratulation of living! It seems fate has chosen you." Hodder mysterious smiled as he spoke.

"Well, I can't say a word about my fate. Since I used to curse God for making my fate horrible. And, having my fate controlled by others isn't something I like. By the way, I need to know. Can this trident of desecration remove that so-called locator of Hidden Inheritance?" Peter shook his head and didn't believe his fate was good.

If it was then, why was he left all by himself when he was just three? Why couldn't he awaken the soul talent? Maybe fate has something bigger for Peter but bigger always doesn't mean better.

"Yes, it can. By the way, I can fulfill your three wishes. I know you don't have something that you would wish for. Rather, you have those things but there is a limit to what I can grant. So, for now, let me give you this. Consider this as your first wish. Of course, you can reject this." Hodder took out a ring and gave it to him.

"I don't think you will give me something meaningless but I want to know what it really is." Peter looked at it and then turned at Hodder before asking him.

"Well, I figured that you would like to leave and enter the tower. So, I prepared this for you. Since you can't leave the tower without coming back to floor zero, you need help. This ring will teleport you the floor zero and then you can leave the tower."

"By the way, a short reminder for you. If you come across someone who has won something from the Hidden Room, try to run unless you are stronger than him. Now, everybody knows that someone has gotten their hands on the most important treasure of the tower, they will definitely try to take it from you."

"And, you don't want everyone inside the tower to go against you. Just like how hard it was for you to comprehend the power of someone just five levels ahead of you, then think of people with hundreds and thousands of levels ahead of you."

"Also, since you have completed the first part of the chain quest, you have successfully earned the second quest."

[Twenty-Fifth Floor Quest- Defeat Dungeon Boss

Time Limit- 2 Years

Reward- 5000000 EXP, 50000 Mana Coins, 1000 Stat Points, 50000 Fame Points, Rare Treasure Chest*1, and Common Treasure Chest*3

Punishment- Death]

"So, if I don't enter the tower, I will still die. Is there a way to cancel this chain quest?" Peter bitterly smiled. Although he didn't hate coming back to the tower after experiencing everything, he doesn't like getting forced.

"No, there is not a single way to cancel this quest. Something that you seek is not something you are worthy to possess. If you want to keep on possessing it, you must be worthy. Remember, you are not completely unattached to the tower."

"So, there is nothing you can do unless you cross the hundredth floor." Hodder shook his head and answered.

"Alright, before leaving, let's open up the three common treasure chests!" Peter hasn't forgotten those. He immediately asked the system to open those treasure chests.

[You receive 500 Mana Coins]

[You receive Common Rank Armor]

[You receive Common Rank Sword]

[You receive 500 Mana Coins]

[You receive a Passive Skill]

[You receive an Active Skill]

[You receive 20 Mana Coins]

[You receive Rare Rank Ring]

[You receive Common Rank Ring]

Peter instantly ignored common rank items. As for Passive and Action Skills, both were something that he didn't want. Basic Fist Skill and Night Vision Skill, former was active skill and latter was a passive skill.

But, those two rings surprised him.

"Alright, not bad I would say. Before I leave this tower, let's enter the floor second!" Peter smirked as he looked at Hodder.

Seeing his interest, Hodder snapped his finger and both of them disappeared.
