It seemed as if it was their fate to be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they refused to yield to that fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man or woman, young or old, strong or weak, no one stayed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their families perished, they went to the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their friends vanished one by one, they gripped their weapons tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When life was leaving their bodies, they poured all their strength for one last attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this desperation, this collective will that kept humanity alive until sovereigns appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They died for children of the distant future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the people they'd never meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the people who wouldn't remember them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, they willingly sacrificed their lives so that their ending could become a new beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian would never know whose sacrifices were allowing him to be alive today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But I do know that they don't want mankind to perish.' Varian took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The future rests on me.' Varian's shoulders sank from the invisible weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was a child, Varian wanted to become an emperor. The ruler of the entire race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was only now that he got a gist of what it entailed to be shouldering the fate of an entire race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian closed his eyes and thought about his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes snapped open after a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting another moment, Varian smashed a talisman and exited the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the exit of a giant red tower were four abyssals headed by Ron. The others who wanted to follow were instructed to go back by Mendis who noticed their absence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did he come here all of a sudden?\" Vella, rank 2, asked with a curious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I spoke about war yesterday,\" Ron said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wants to go train than hunt?\" Vella tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to. All this time, he was training after all.\" Ron rubbed his forehead and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he isn't coming, we'll go by ourselves.\" Osbert, rank 1, shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we came so far, let's check the rankings at least.\" Trak, rank 3, suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the four abyssals ended up in front of a list magically engraved on the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three lists in total and they were looking at the first list, showing the performances of level 7 across the eleven floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1.

It made the difficulty in climbing to the list that much harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike humans who were growing stronger with each generation, abyssals were more or less stagnant in their overall power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even though this list was reset in 300 YAB when abyssals came to the solar system, it covered over two centuries of geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many level 7s had the Dark Tower witnessed in these two centuries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than fifty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To get into the list, you need to be top 100—0.2%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think he'll make it to the top 50?\" Vela, the rank 2 abyssal, asked with a curious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being ranked second on the hunting list, she only managed to reach 24 on the dark tower list. Even so, she was deemed as one of the brightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top 50? He could enter, but it's too early for him.\" Trak, the rank 3 abyssal shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them cleared all but one bottleneck and were on the verge of clearing even that and entering level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in level 7s, they were already the strongest they could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about Var?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to rumors, he was only at peak level 7 and didn't break any bottlenecks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, Prince Ron?\" Trak asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron thought for a moment before shrugging. \"Maybe he did break bottlenecks. No one saw him fight his best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an awkward silence in front of the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards watching them from the distance were also curious. They didn't know the prince they let in casually had so much potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he's at the peak of his strength, maybe he can reach the top 10,\" Osbert said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top 10? Are you kiddin—\" Trak swallowed his words abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If archduke Mendis praised him so much, then maybe…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your father's rank might be snatched by him.\" Osbert clicked his tongue and smiled at Ron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron looked at the name on rank 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10. Travis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Dad…' Ron smiled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, he's brilliant, alright. His record so far has been excellent. But top 10 is really hard. Maybe 25.\" Trak scratched his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>25. Jera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oops, it's your grandmother, Prince's Ron.\" Vela smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yours is really a lineage of great warriors.\" Osbert complimented as he gazed at another rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>15. Ron\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father 10, Him 15, Grandmother 25.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three ranks in the top 25 were held by a single family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even though Ron spent so much time for his sister, he reached 15th. If he didn't, I'm sure he'd be top 10. Even top 5 is not impossible.' Osbert sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the four abyssals were chatting, the list gave off a brilliant light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the names began moving and the list began writing itself from 100th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this happened, it only meant that Var entered the list!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah! He did it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name of the 90th rank was written.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't find him?\" Trak was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>80th name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He really broke bottlenecks, huh?\" Vela narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>50th name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many bottlenecks did he break, I wonder.\" Osbert rubbed his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>40th name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"40?\" Ron was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30th name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy fuck, he crossed me!\" Trak saw his rank drop from 33 to 34. \"Are you fucking kidding me? He's really stronger than me, top 3?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Trak's remarks, the expressions of the remaining three grew heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were just random rumors that Var was strong enough to be in the top 3. No one took them seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the fuck?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't end there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh fuck!\" Vela cursed, drawing the attention of the three. With a shaking finger, she pointed. \"M-My rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank 24 Vela was now rank 25.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron's grandmother was pushed to rank 26.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Var was really in the top 25!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My rank too?\" Osbert rubbed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank 16 Osbert fell to rank 17.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the next name, showing rank 16 appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>16.
