Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

Chapter 52: Getting Ready For The Big Event

James had been awake for an hour or two and had already received the news of what had happened. Still, it was strange to him that things had become so complicated.

The Sun Empire had declared war on the four surrounding kingdoms and the 5th floor was soaked in blood. With a military operation of almost 12 million, the four kingdoms had literally been razed to the ground.

The agreements made by the royal families were found, and the name of a man named Omur appeared on all the papers. This was the same man Nyx had killed with her own hands.

As soon as Nyx realised that she couldn't get any information out of him, she decided it was a waste of oxygen to let such a bastard live and killed him.

However, it was learnt that all the profits of the war were given to the Olympus and Asgard guilds. In short, Olympus and Asgard had two kingdoms each. Of course, the kingdoms were not that big, they were regions consisting of four cities each, but still, even this settlement could not account for the gain they would give them.

More settlements meant more training grounds and opportunities to offer, something both guilds wanted.

Afterwards, he used his gacha rights and got two good items that he did not expect:

[Abraham's Armbands (Legendary)

These armbands were created by the ancient high wizard Abraham to protect the arms, the most valuable body parts of wizards.

When the player wears the armbands, his spellcasting speed will increase by 15%.

The armbands will reduce damage to the arm area to 0 up to 3 times per day].

[Black Rose(Legendary++++)

This rose is a decorative item. The aura around it indicates that it was created by its merging with the light of the night, it is one of a kind].

The first item was of course a very nice defence and attack item, and James was quite happy with it, the second item was a gift, even if he had a gift for Nemesis, he didn't have one for Nyx, so he wanted to give it to her.

With that, nothing was preventing him from getting to the tenth floor. He had taken care of all his business and stored enough food and drink in his inventory.

After a double-check, she realised that there were no more problems and then said, "Emma, 10th floor please."

Then the usual passageway opened in front of him and James leapt forward, opening his eyes again to find a strange crowd.

The sounds of merriment, the sounds of metal being hammered, shouting restaurant owners and many more were rising in James' ears.

"Eastern architecture huh?" James said when he saw the houses around. Although he did not know exactly where the architecture came from, he could not help thinking that it might have a connection with his world.

As he started to move along the road, he noticed that the energy of the people around him was very high, he could not guess the reason for this in any way.

Entering a nearby restaurant, he went upstairs and sat down, ordered a dumpling, and waited where he was.

The restaurant was packed, and the cheerful chatter and gossip of the people around could be heard to the fullest.

"Did you hear he's coming?!" One of the young men sitting at the next table started talking.

"Come on, I could have sworn it was a lie, don't talk rubbish," the other young man retorted.

"I'm telling you the truth, we've been waiting for almost three months, but someone saw him coming out of the imperial library!" said the first one to speak.

"No way...this tournament is going to be exciting then, the guy who managed to pick Nyx is coming? We know where to place our bets!" said the young girl.

"Puhahaha, it's really obvious. Nyx must have given him massive powers, didn't you hear he even managed to kill a Monster God!"

"We know he's not exactly real, he's a person from outside the tower, how could he kill another god without being a god? And we know Nemesis helped him, he can't be that powerful!"

As James listened to these words in silence, he had the idea to ask about himself, so he approached the people at the next table and asked, "Can you tell me a little bit about him?"

After these words, the young people paid attention to James and said "Yes, but it will be expensive". After these words, James smiled and took out a box with 1000 gold coins from his inventory.

Seeing this box, the faces of the young people brightened and then one of them got up from his seat and said, "Here, sit down."

"Now tell me..." said James again, he really wanted to know what effect his actions had.

"They call him Umbra, even though those close to him can call him by his real name, most choose to call him by his nickname. He is known to be the first and only person who has managed to choose Nyx. He founded the Chaos Guild, a monumental achievement. No living being, or even those who have died and become spirit beings, can simply utter the name Chaos.

He founded the guild and raised the guild's reputation to a gigantic position. In addition, he has managed to take first place in one of the rankings within the first five floors, and in some of the others, he has managed to enter the ranking easily."

When one of the young men said this, he fell silent, and then another one spoke up:

"It is also rumoured that all Chaos-Born look upon him with awe, respect and love. Some even say that Nemesis herself is in love with him. They say this because they saw Nemesis carrying him around the 5th floor like a princess, with a smile on her face. NEMESIS' personality known as the goddess whose face never smiles, can you believe it? I wouldn't believe it even if I saw it with my own eyes..."

After these words, two people entered the upper floor of the restaurant, two people with the logo of Olympus hanging on them. As they made their way to the table where the teenagers and James were, the teenagers were startled for a few seconds, and then the two Olympians leaned in, surprising not only them but everyone on the second floor of the restaurant.

"You're late, I thought you would have noticed my presence earlier," James said, never expecting to be scolded by an Olympian.
