[The Endless Dept of Regret.]

Mysterious Tower, Chp.1 EP: 1

[Hello player, we honourable greet you for clearing the first floor.]
[Achievement reward: Regression]

"Regression?..." I think silently... With this skill? I can clear the tower within time! Heh, the tower is sure generous for giving such a skill on the first floor. I walk on happily, leaving the unknown corpses behind myself.

2 Hours ago.

Tap, tap, click. FUCK! I scream out, furiously moving my mouse around. My arrow on the screen moving rapidly, what the hell is this guy's skills?! Doing fast paced moves after each other?! Is this even possibl-

[You Lose.]

"Ah...." I lean back in my chair, cussing out the player who defeated me. I sigh deeply as l look at the player ID.

Raven.

"Raven..." I mutter, I had been the first place for ages.... Now such rookie came out of nowhere and defeated me?... Ha... Maybe he were getting too old for games...

???'s POV.

I smirk at the screen infront of me, letting go of the mouse. "That was such a nice game, it was nice to meet someone that skilled..." I mutter, looking onto my rewards.

"Some coins... High leveled gears and- ... This?" I say, my eyes widening as l lean forward, staring right into the screen.

[End, A SSS rank item. Can bring the destruction of the world.]

It was a cube, with squares pattern on its sides. The lining glowing a bright blue.

So, he could end the game? Interesting... Well, since there were nobody to match him. He should. "Ah, it was nice playing you... Eden." I say with a soft tone, slowly scrolling the arrow at the 'Use' button.

Eden, a game that has been released to the public without an owner. No matter how hard they tried, they could never find the creator nor releaser. It appeared out of thin air, it grew in popularity with its RPG themed setting and endless possibilities. This game was far advanced in it time.

I press the mouse, clicking onto the use button. "..." I stare quietly, seeing the cube explodes in the screen infront of myself. Then a message appeared on the screen.

[End has been used, all accounts will be deleted and the main event will be activated.]

Main event- wait, all accounts will get deleted... WAIT NO- I panicking grab the monitor, shaking it violently.

"All of my coins and gears would had been worth 1 Billion won...." I say quietly, before screaming violently and swang my arms and leg on the ground.

(1 Billion won = 763,186.91$)

Then out of nowhere, the building shake fiercely, an Earthquake?! I thought, quickly getting out of the ground and running out the door.

His hair was black, with panicking blue eyes, his atheist build. He used to be a track runner, but after an incident. He couldn't run as fast he used too and got kicked out of his team. No team would accept him after that incident. He wore a black shirt with a blue jacket and black sport pants. Topping it off with white shoes. I run down the hallway, jumping down the stairs and getting down to the first floor rather quickly.

"Huff.... Huff...." I breath heavily, walking out the door while my hands were on my knees. Wait... Isn't that a tower?

Behind some distant buildings, there were a tower going above the clouds. What is this... He never saw this before... Wait... He did saw this... This was the opening scene for Eden...

[Upon the endless streets, filled with destroyed cars and corpses. There stood the tower, the tower that would help YOU to advance, advance beyond a human. Reform yourself into a better being. Become the one and only ruler of this destroyed world]

Did he doomed this world.... By using that Item? If this wasn't a dream, then... HE NEED TO BE FIRST. I sprint toward the direction of the tower, cutting corners and bumping into standing bystanders. I arrive at the entrance of the tower, my adrenaline erasing my exhaustion. I enter the tower with a heavy sigh, hoping this was truly a dream.

[Welcome player, you're the first of many to enter a tower. Checking... Congratulations! You're the first to enter a tower globally. For the floors up to 1-5, all experience will be boosted by 50%]

Great! He got the experience boost! Now... "INVENTORY" I scream out, closing my eyes in anticipation. There stood a game panel infront of my face. I slowly open my eyes, seeing it. "... this isn't a dream..." I say, pressing upon the iron sword within a imvestory slot.

The air wraps in front of me, slowly forming a sword as l grab it and held it.

I glance around my surroundings, this was the first floor of many. "Goblin forest." I think, looking around carefully. I heard a bush behind myself shake, I quickly turn around and slash my sword wildly. A goblin tried to attack from behind but instead he received a slash across his torso, a shallow one. The golbin was a small figure, child size with big yellow eyes and sharp teeths. He will need to be careful, those teeths can easily chomp up metal like nothing.

The golbin dash at me again, l jump back but my ankle hit something so l fell on my back. Shit shit SHIT. endless thoughts ravages his mind, he instinctly thrust his sword upward. The golbin was pierced through his heart, sliding down the blade as its blood drip onto my hands and drizzled down slowly.

"I did it..." I say, I FUCKING DID IT! I think, smiling brightly as l breath heavily. The exhaustion catching up. "Now...the-" before he could finish his sentence, an another panel appears.

[Congratulations, you're the first to kill a goblin. The exp received on the first floor will be doubled.]

Doubled?... This was amazing...

Present.

"First floor clearance... That feels nice
.." I think, my spirit burning brightly as a portal materializes infront of me.

[Earth or continue?]

Pretty obvious, he would choose home. I tap on the home button as a small spark of mana ignite around myself before I got teleported away.
