[How was your first visit to the Primordial Tower, Contestant Kai Stormborn?]

...

If Kai still didn't know that he was getting special treatment, then he wouldn't be Kai Stormborn anymore.

The White Room was the same as always. It had no means of escape, a fact Kai hated to the core.

Another thing which he didn't like was how it always appeared buck naked here. It was as if the System was saying he had no secret to hide in its presence.

There was one another thing...

I wish I could charge the System for these questions, Kai grumpily thought. A 100 Mission Credits for each question will suffice, I guess.

"It wasn't anything impressive," Kai said. "The City of Assignments was full of empty bellies and even more greedy mouths. No wonder the Contestants from upper floors are thinning out the crowd by killing them off earlier."

A deed of necessities.

Chaos doesn't interfere in the game of men. So long as there are always Contestants to play the game and it never stops...

You seem to have questions for Chaos, Kai Stormborn.

Is it that obvious?! Kai rebuked himself. Fooling people is much easier...

"What are Glitch and Worth?" Kai asked. "How are they interrelated?"

None in the Primordial Tower had spoken about them by themselves. It felt odd to Kai that Contestants like Roland knew of newbies with Ability, but not of Glitch. And he wasn't foolish enough to mention it by himself, either.

The System, though, was different. Here Kai could ask freely...

"...?"

Privilege? Kai's eyes narrowed. But the lure of free answers was just too much for him to think about it for now. "Tell me."

Every being has an Individuality, Contestant Kai Stormborn.

This Individuality is one's imprint on the vast cosmos. The one that was, is and will be, forever and beyond. The Rules of Heaven restrict these Individualities from manifesting into the Material Plane.

Rules can be broken, though.

All things have a certain price. You would know that, wouldn't you, Kai Stormborn?
