Hey all, I was thinking of going back and adding a few chapters on the tower climb from when Emily joined the Kat. It wouldn't be the entire climb, but just a floor here and there. Possibly a few chapters about the swamp-themed floors. What do you think?
Just so y'all know, climbing the tower will only be about a third of the story once it really gets going. Most of it will be about the w...

After spending time between floors, the Tower totaled up her rewards. She got a staggering amount of power coins for the fifth ten set. Twelve to be exact. Three per the four floors where they didn’t get attacked by the elementals. It didn’t say exactly why she got them, only that she did. Kat chuckled as she found herself b...

Kat found herself in a very large room. It was easily a couple of hundred yards across. The room reminded her of the descriptions of the ancient Greeks coliseum in Athens except there was no seating. The walls went all the way up several stories to meet the dome ceiling. The walls themselves were made up of huge brick blocks that reminded Kat of the...

Kat found herself surrounded by water. There was no land or sun for that matter. The light came from all over above her. It was sort of like the first floor except without the clouds. All she could see as far as she looked was water. Looking down, trying to figure out what was keeping above the water, she found herself look...

Kat felt the icy cold feeling of getting a new power for her attributes and asked the Tower to assign it to her Vitality. She felt her Vitality stomach grow when out of nowhere she was blasted by the coldest wind she had ever felt. Opening her eyes she found herself standing in a white tundra. She hunched over as the cold stole her breath before her healing...

Her muscles burned as she walked down the hill. She stopped briefly and imagined two copies of herself and without any input from her one of her copies had a glow around them. It was glowing darkly red around her arms and legs, but there was also a darkish glow around her stomach. She mentally spun her copy around and saw that while her arms ...

Pulling out a stick from her waist she put it in her mouth before she moved her staff to her other hand. As she did she looked over the grassland in front of her. It seemed to go on forever. Sipping on the vitality from the stick in her mouth she slowly turned around to see what she had to work with on this floor. 2021-12-11 04:25:16 +0000 UTC View Post

The two Tower Guards at the entrance to the Tower opened the gate as she walked towards them. Unlike the two guards at the front of the tax building, these two didn't seem to be very alert.

The assault pilot, Freya decided, was still a jackhole as the crush of bodies finally swayed away from her.

She was not hurt, but that was ...
