The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 2 [ 1st Floor (Safe Zoon) ]

[ Enter the Tower if you have the determination to discard everything but your desires ]

That is the principle that anyone must have in order to survive in the Tower. People who don't have such determination will only die in vain.

Before entering the Tower's gates, Naeva must have thought about it well. The girl knew a lot of information despite the fact she was trapped in her territory for thousands of years. The basic information needed for survival was already imprinted in her head.

First of all, the energy used to attack and unleash the magic commonly called magic was called Nova. Nova has several other names in various regions such as mana from the west, Ki from the east, chakra from Sanskrit, etc. Every Conqueror has Nova within them, Nova itself symbolizes the Conqueror's power level.

There are 9 levels of Nova, where each level has its own 10 stages. It is easy to remember the 9 levels of Nova, as the colors of the levels are often heard.

Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Purple
Gold
Platinum

Red is the lowest and the base of Nova, while Platinum is the highest, strongest and the pinnacle. Upgrading a Nova from one level to another is very difficult and requires a lot of helpful ingredients. Hence, even Ranker only exists at the Indigo-Purple level.

Newbies who just entered the Tower were usually only red level. Almost no one is orange level and above. Because the orange level is usually found above the 10th floor.

The Tower has 100 floors consisting of an array of 100 different worlds. The size of each floor depends on the theme of the world. The highest floor Ranker has been on so far is the 62nd floor.

Other than Nova's level, the most important piece of information was that there were tons of different races within the Tower. Most are descended from hundreds of different worlds.

But here, race didn't make a difference in climbing the Tower. Everyone inside had the same designation.

[ Conqueror ]

Conqueror means the person who tries to conquer the Tower. Meanwhile, people who live in the Tower but haven't joined the tutorial are called Passenger. When they reach adulthood or when they are ready, Passengers must leave the Tower to take the tutorial. The Passenger who passes is the one who deserves the title of Conqueror.

Even within the Tower, there is still a distinction between Conquerors, namely Regular and Irregular Conquerors.

Regular is a designation for Conquerors who were born and raised in the Tower. Because they were born and raised in the Tower, they have no choice but to climb the Tower because apart from the Tower, they have no place to go home. Irregulars are Conquerors who come from outside the Tower and enter the Tower through the gateway between their world and the tutorial.

In this case, Naeva leans more towards the Irregular side even though as the tutorial boss, she has been a part of the Tower for +30,000 years.

Naeva's body felt so light, so carefree. It felt like she was flying in the sky among the clouds. And just like flying in the sky, her eyes were dazzled by the light that came from nowhere.

Once the light faded, Naeva slowly opened her eyes. The girl was frozen in place, stunned. Stunned by the sight she was seeing.

It had been more than 30,000 years since Naeva had seen such a peaceful, bustling place filled with people other than herself. People were passing by, selling, training and doing their own thing.
