I opened my eyes to find myself in front of a mirror there i was a tall male with white hair and scarlet red eyes, the more i looked at myself the more I began to realize this is a dream.
Yes a dream… I then see a being fall in front of the mirror. "Hello there, Dear Child." The being said as it looked at me as i then replied.
"H-Huh?" As I looked confused, the being began introducing itself.
"I am Aros the plotter of the apocalypse." Aros said as he began explaining that it chose me out of the 8 billion people in the world to tell me the events of the future.
one of them being that there is a tower that will appear in the future closely 5 years from now and that i need to prepare myself because I will be climbing that tower.
"and why is the tower going to be on earth?" I asked as he began explaining that he streams these towers to beings higher above and those beings surpass even his powers and if favored by many they might grant you a blessing or a curse if they dislike you.
"So i am chosen to climb the tower and i will also have to clear it all?" I asked
Aros simply nodded and then said "Fear not Child, You will have help from other humans so you won't be alone." He said as he then grinned It seemed concerning but he then continued talking.
"But… i can take you to the tower right now and give you a head start." He said as my eyes widened at his revelation.
A head start? That means I begin before others but there had to be a catch.
"Of course there is a catch." He said as if he read my mind "You will not get any blessings from the beings above." He said as I had a shocked expression on my face.
"You have 24 hours to think about this, it is of benefit to you, trust me." He said as i then looked at the mirror and then saw my reflection and then saw Aros.
"understood, I'll think about it, and... thanks." I said as he then laughed and snapped his fingers and I woke up from my dream.
"What a wild dream… So 24 hours…" i said as then my Sister entered my room.
"Brother why are you up so late?" She asked as i then replied.
"Had a nightmare… also hey sis since you always play games more than me what is a tower climbing game?" I asked as she then began explaining it to me.
Slowly I began understanding it bit by bit. so basically, a tower has 100 floors sometimes more and each ten floor a boss is there and each floor has its own theme continuing till the tenth floor so i wondered if it'll be the same there…
She also explained how there are grades for weapons and stats and such and then ended the explanation with a smile saying to clear the tower reach the peak and kill the final boss.
"Thanks Sis." I said as i patted her on the head she then returned to her room and went to sleep.
Now i began questioning whether i should accept or reject and wait for 5 years only to end up in that tower anyways… i think I'll accept but first I'll have to get a friend to take care of my sister.
I decided to continue sleeping that day and woke up when it was morning and then i called my friend and asked him to take care of my sister for the next few years.
Of course i could have asked my uncle and aunt but my sister doesn't like them and neither do I, When morning struck I went to wake Ai up.
"Ai, wake up i have some news for you." I said as she slowly opened her eyes she looked at me wondering what i was gonna say.
"Something came up and i have to travel for 5 years and after those five years i will come back and get you okay? For now you will have to stay with my friend Haru." I said as she then looked sad but seemed to understand what i said.
She then replied "Okay brother… take care of yourself and goodbye!" As she said that i hugged her and pat her head gently, then i looked at the time.
"Ai you should behave okay? Haru here will be taking care of you starting today." I said as Haru came to pick Ai up.
"Hey there little Ai remember me?" Haru said with a smile as Ai then said, "Brother Haru!" She hugged Haru obviously happy to see him.
I then said my goodbyes and they left.
Now i need to find Aros somehow unless i maybe sleep..?
"Hello there, Child." Aros suddenly appeared in front of me as I replied.
"Not now Aros I'm trying to find a way to meet you." I said as i then came to a realization.
"Hm?" I looked at Aros as he looked at me, i wiped my eyes wondering if I'm in a dream or something.
"What the hell?!!" I screamed as he began Laughing, What a mad man...
"Did i scare you appearing like this?" He said as he was taking form of a Handsome blonde guy with green eyes and he wore royal clothing.
"is that how your people dress up like?" I asked as he then nodded and then we began talking a bit about the lives in his world and mine, till I found the time to bring up climbing the tower.
"I accept." I said as he grinned.
"I see… well enjoy your stay at the tower, Haruki Suou." He said and with the blink of an eye I wasn't even in my house anymore.
I was in an empty field of grass. Faced with this place in front of me... It was peaceful.
Genuine beauty, A place empty and free of worries is how it felt.
Maybe one day I'll be back here...
I looked at the middle where a tower was facing me.
"So this is it." I said as I began approaching the gates.
I was ready to face whatever it is behind that door.
I make contact with the door and get transported inside.
Once there I looked at the floor number.
That was when the realization struck me... That this place wasn't anything but Hell.
"The 100th... floor?" I said as I looked at the three digit number in shock.
