Chapter 141 [Bonus ] A Special Room For The First-Ranked

The Skyfall Tower changed, its purpose being to forge powerful superhumans capable of cleaning the dungeon, and for that, personal strength was an essential aspect.

Damian could see it. The tower levels had to be completed alone, with a few specific levels breaking the rule. It would guarantee everyone's strength would increase, yet still bring party aspects from time to time, ensuring everyone knew how to fight in groups.

"Let's drink something to celebrate being the first to complete it!" Damian suggested, and the girls accepted it instantly.

There was a counter on each resting floor, and after sitting on one of the wooden bar chairs in front of it, a menu popped up before their eyes, with many drinks and food for them to buy using their points.

These drinks and food were cheap, with some only 0.1 points or less. "Look, there's even some free stuff here!" Lucy said.

It looked like the menu of a game, similar to the shop tab in his system. Damian scrolled down, choosing a hamburger and a soda. Not the healthiest of things, but Damian could not care less.

The two items cost around 0.02 points, which was almost nothing, and right after Damian chose it, the hamburger and soda magically appeared before him above the counter. It was like it came from another dimension or something.

"Whoa! Where do these things come from?" Alanna said.

No one knew Damian had a game-like system, so he was the only one who saw the familiarities between the tower and his system. He was curious about it, but the only way to find answers was to explore the tower and not overthink it.

They all sat there, enjoying their food. "Yummy. Try this, Damian," Alanna said, giving him a spoonful of soup.

"It's good," Damian said, giving her a thumbs up.

A refreshing moment, something way different than the usual mess they had with fighting beasts and other superhumans, always ending up in situations that could cost their lives. It was nice to have a moment of peace, and Damian wished his friends were there with him.

'I cannot wait to tell them about this place.'

Their moment was nice, but it did not last forever. Soon, others who had completed the tower's first level started appearing, and the first thing they saw upon arriving at the resting area was the people sating before the counter and the names written on the ranks.

Everyone wished to be the first to arrive there and have their names carved on top of the ranking, as that would surely bring them more fame and prestige, ultimately leading to more money!

After realizing they had not been the first, Damian noticed their angry faces, but these soon vanished. Combat inside the resting room was prohibited, but that did not mean they couldn't look directly at Damian and record his face to settle their problems in the dungeon, on Earth, or even on one of the tower's floors.

Damian noticed the unusual gaze of some of them, but it did not bother him at all. He was still wearing his mask, dark attire, and hood. His identity was still a mystery to them.

"Yo, you. How did you finish the level so fast?"

A middle-aged man with two swords on his back walked toward Damian and asked. It was surprising to see that person there, a human native to the dungeon who had finished the tower's first level faster than some 'trained' superhumans from Earth.

"I got lucky. You?" Damian said.

"Lucky? Ha, sure. Hope to meet ya one day," the man said, leaving immediately.

That man was the only one who went to speak with Damian. All the other people who passed the first level were more focused on resting and thinking about their next steps. They would have to stay inside the tower for seven days! It was impossible to leave, only after it closed.

Not a problem, though. The resting floor had food and drinks, bedrooms with bathrooms for them to use, a place that sold clothes, a training room, a library, and everything one could wish for. Spending seven days inside one of the resting rooms was not bad; some would even see that as vacation time inside a hotel.

"What you three going to do?" Damian asked.

"Well, my sister and I will stay here in the resting room, do some training, recover, and leave when this place closes. We still need to get stronger before challenging the next levels," Lucy said.

Alanna felt the same way. Their power was not on par with the Skyfall Tower, and the key to success was acknowledging that and working on further development. There was no reason to challenge something, knowing it would be impossible to win. A dumb move like that inside a dangerous place like the tower could only result in one thing: death.

'I'll stay here with them too. After everything that happened... I just..." Alanna said, almost tearing up.

She almost died multiple times and thought her friends died too. The only reason she was alive was because of Damian, and now, after discovering how weak she was, Alanna wanted to work her ass off and train with everything she got!

"Alright. Imma stay one day to recover, so we can do something together!" Damian said.

The girls liked the idea of spending some time with Damian, their savior, so after they finished eating, they all walked toward the massive area where the bedrooms were. Some other people were there, and another factor surprised Damian.

Everyone already knew that the higher one climbed in the tower, the better the benefits would be, and the bedrooms would also be better. But there was one more factor: the higher someone's ranking, the better rooms they could have!

All the others who came after Damian had a lower ranking than he, and at that moment, Damian was the 1# ranked person. So when he walked to the area where the bedrooms were, there was a closed door that only a tiny percentage of people could go through: the top 10.

Damian and the girls could, as well as that man who spoke with Damian previously, the one with two swords. What was behind the locked door — one had to open it by showing the ring where their name, points, and rank were stored — was more bedrooms, way more luxurious than the rest.

If it was only that, it would be awesome, but there was more! An open garden area where one could see the sky and the stars — probably fake, but it still looked just like the real ones — and pools!

One could even choose between a cold pool or a hot spring, and there was more than enough to everybody to enjoy without losing their privacy.

A place to cook some steaks play basketball, football, or other sports, the best they could have in an area without the Internet.

Those who saw Damian and the girls going inside the restricted area, spying through the door from afar, could not believe it! A feeling of jealousy rose within many of them, and some even thought about sneaking in, but the scene of the spirit freezing those people to death still haunted them, so no one made a move.

"Whoa, look at this place," Alanna said.

It was not like they had never seen a luxurious place before, but finding such a place inside a tower was unexpected. Damian and the girls walked around, seeing the garden, the sky, and the other things inside that restricted area, but after a while, all they wanted to do was go to their rooms and rest.

Damian did the same. While the girls had rooms close to each other, Damian's room was a little farther away. It was a special room for the 1# ranked person in the tower.

The place was more like a separate building in a secluded garden area with a protective barrier, ensuring only the first-ranked player could enter.

Some of the others in the top ten were around the area too, and they saw when Damian walked toward his building, surrounded by vegetation. They all wanted to know who exactly was that masked person or the power he had.

'Is this really mine? Well, I am sure someone will steal my rank 1 soon, so I might as well enjoy it while I have it.' Damian thought.

The place was a two-story house made of wood, an excellent material to go along with the surrounding area vibe. Damian had three bedrooms, each with a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room with a fireplace, and a private hot spring in the backyard.

He walked around, touching everything like a kid in a new playground, exploring every bit of the place, and the more Damian did, the wider his smile became.

'Can I invite someone over? Like, there's more than one room. So it shouldn't be a problem if the girls came over...'
