2 Welcome to the Tower
(??? POV)
Eternity is an interesting thing, when you experience it everything else feels inconsequential to be honest. You can predict people by just taking one look at them, mortals become boring because most of them become predictable.
But there are some instants in this never-ending eternity that I have experienced that I get surprised by some individuals. I can predict most of them usually but I have gotten surprised because of some individuals like the so called King of this place of which I am a caretaker of. I was quite surprised by his action of creating an empire here in this place. I wasn't surprised mind you about his ambition to be king. No on the contrary, I already foresaw that when I first met him. But the way in which he became a king and made his empire was unexpected to say the least. And the way he calls himself king while having an empire is funny as well.
Talking about surprises, one such surprise is right in front of me. Well at least I didn't expect such a surprise because well I didn't foresee this happening but then again when I look closely I can see why because of the nature of energy spike that I felt from that boy when he entered this place. After all no mortal worlds are equipped to handle primordial energy.
Currently the surprise or the boy is laying unconscious in front of me, while I am thinking on what to do with the guy. I don't want any variables in my play with the King(lol), but then again that play was just to relieve some boredom. Maybe this guy can help in that sense, after all it isn't a small matter to see a bearer of primordial energy of that nature even inside this place. Who am I kidding? There's no one inside this place with primordial energy except me and him.
Anyway let's see what is his most desperate wish. Oh there's this curse of that entity on this boy too, quite a surprise to see that here. I wonder if it was to suppress his energy.
So he wishes for immortality huh, such an easily achievable wish, well it is at least in this place created by that primordial entity known as Sea God.
Anyway back to the boy, he seems to be a youth. Body seems to be in relatively good condition, probably the effect of primordial energy. His height is around 179 cm, I could be bothered to make a better approximation of his height. He seems to have a light tan and has black hair.

Oh well it looks like the surprise boy is waking up. Wonder how he will this bring change to this dreary place that has mostly become stagnant for the last 20,000 years.
After waking up the boy looks around the area and mutters, "Where the hell am I?"
Well his reaction is understandable since he was unconscious when he first appeared here. So as I was about to explain his situation to him. His expression suddenly turns pale and he starts banging his fist on the ground while shouting, "DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN, DAMN IT!!"
Well I guess the first course of action would be to calm him down.

(AMAR POV)
After I opened my eyes again to an unfamiliar....ceiling? It looks like a fake starry sky but whatever. This place looks really dark like a cave? While in confusion I mutter, "Where the hell am I?"
While thinking about it? I remember what I last saw before coming to this place and I start to panic, 'No no this can't be happening, what happened to Asha my little sister?'
What the hell is happening?! Did I fail to save her after being so close?!
"DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN, DAMN IT!!" I shouted while banging my fist on the floor.
'SHAME ON ME! HOW COULD I NOT SAVE MY LITTLE SISTER WHO WAS IN FRONT OF ME?!' With these thoughts circulating in my mind, never before seen fury started clouding my mind and I started seeing red.
*Ding*
What was that sound? Well it doesn't matter, what matter is the place where my sister is? Hopefully she is still safe. Otherwise I don't know what I ...will....d....o.
"Calm down boy!" someone shouted and suddenly I felt that I was drenched in cold water but I don't see any cold water here? Weird.
Anyway after that I calm down a little, I see a white rabbit looking alien abomination wearing a weird blue suit that has a staff in his hand with two orbs on its two ends.
[Image here]
Seeing him I feel that him and this place is somehow familiar but I can't remember for the life of me plus my mind is more worried about Asha than my own life, so yeah.
"Have you calmed down, dear guest?" He says while coming towards me and standing at exactly the correct distance that I feel maintains the practice of social distancing that you see nowadays.
"What do you mean by guest?" I ask this rabbit looking abomination.
"Well you are a guest here and I am the caretaker of this place so there you go. But well you might become a permanent guest depending on your actions."
I frowned a little because this all feels eerily familiar so I ask, "What permanent guest? And where the hell is this place anyway? And lastly who are you?"
The rabbit looking abomination smiles creepily at me and says, "Welcome to the Tower my dear guest, my name is Headon and I am the first administrator and caretaker of this Tower."
After hearing his answer everything in my mind became clear. And all sense of incongruity went away. But this has to be a dream right? There is no way that I entered the Tower of God in real life right? It's not like I am a fanfic protagonist right? Probably not? And if I am, my sister better be fine author. (A/N: Why am I feeling a chill?)
"So why am I inside the Tower?" I ask him because he is the only one who can answer me. And well he is the only seemingly all knowing entity that I have been in contact of.
"That's a good question isn't it?" He replies while grinning creepily.
"..." I reply him with a deadpan look.
"..."
"..." We are both silent like in a staring contest.
He then sighs after a few moments and answer me while looking down, "As expected. Well you were brought here because you awakened the energy of the Primordial Sin of Wrath which is a type of energy which a mortal world cannot hold, so you got transferred to the nearest higher world which happens to be the Tower."
He continues, "You are probably in transition to becoming Wrath's Apostle or you already became one? You also have curse of Sloth too. And that makes you quite interesting."
'Wrath's Apostle? What the hell? Like from that korean novel?' I thought in my head.
*Ding*
*System is online*
*Host's query is registered*
*Answer to the query: No it is not related to the novel that the host is referring to. The Wrath from which Host assimilated the energy is of Primordial Sin of Wrath which was a primordial entity at its peak.*
'Wait system? I have a system?'
*Ding*
*Host's query is registered*
*Answer: Host has binded to "Wrath succession and support system" it comes with a subsystem as well.*
'Oh I guess there's that. But this can wait, I am more worried about my sister. What happened to her? Let's ask Headon because he seems to know a lot about this entering the Tower business.'
So I started to ask him about what happened to my sister and how I ended up here. And well he knew what happened thankfully and explained to me in wordy explanation.
In short,
1. After seeing my sister held like that I started awakening Wrath energy as he calls it.
2. After banging on the door my Wrath surpassed mortal limits and started to overflow.
3. When I rammed into the door at the end, I opened two doors unknowingly. One on earth and one here from which I entered.
4. Good news is that my overflow of energy disintegrated all of my sister's assailants while keeping her safe because she was the target of my protection.
5. Bad news is that I am separated forever from my family until I become a higher dimensional being that can descend on a lower world through an avatar or manifestation.
6. Another good news is that some higher dimensional beings are beyond time and can go back and forth in the timeline. So I guess that's my goal for now.
This quite a lot to take in to be honest. But I have this system so I might be able to do it. Let's check it out. I shout 'Status' in my mind.
*Ding*
[Status Information:
Name- Amar
Race- Human
Job- Wrath's Apostle
Apostleship Synchronization= 1%]
'I see so I am Wrath's Apostle huh. And this Synchronization probably means that I am currently 1% Wrath's Apostle. Correct?'
*Ding*
*Host is correct*
'Can you stop that 'Ding' sound?'
*Ding*
*Request acknowledged*
*Request complete*
'So what are the other functions of the system?'
*Answer: The system can analyze and scan different things like a certain A.I. Chip from the host's memories.*
'Are you sentient?'
*System is not sentient, system is made up of a learning A.I. that strives for assisting the host in his goals*
'All right system your first task is to save all my lifetime of memories in your data libraries for east access to them in case I need them.'
*Request acknowledged*
*Progress: 0%...33%....80%..100%*
It completed the request in 3 seconds, the computing ability of the system is quite good.
"What are you thinking about?" Headon asks me bringing me out of my thoughts about my system and how I will use it.
"Well I was planning on what I am going to now." I answered.
"I see that's reasonable considering you know a lot about the Tower and have somewhat of an idea of what I am now."
'System scan Headon and tell me the details.'
*Request acknowledged*
*Scanning*
*Scan results are shown below*
[Name- Headon
Race- €₹₩ò%
Job- G@#& @#$&7/×]
"Oho scanning me now are we? Is this one of those systems? You must be an Apostle then." He asserts while grinning.
"You seem to know about systems." I stated with my eyes demanding some answers.
"Yeah well its not like you are unique in that matter, many entities in this vast Multiverse have them." Headon answered.
"Well then give me some time to think about my system. And while I am going about it, give me a pocket will you?"
He gives me a pocket immediately, it has E written on it. Meaning it's an E rank pocket, no language barrier is going to stop me now. I hold it and it binds with me.
"Pocket invisible mode" I say that and the pocket vanishes.
Well let's check the subsystem out. 'System I will call you A.I. Chip for convenience.' And satisfying my inner chuuni.
*Request acknowledged*
*Name changed to A.I. Chip*
'A.I. Chip tell me about the subsystem.'
*To activate the subsystem you have to have a digital communication device, host currently has two such devices:
1) Smartphone
2) Pocket*
'Bind the subsystem to smartphone' Well I am more familiar with my smartphone than my pocket after all.
*Binding successful*
*Kings' dimensional chat group has been activated*
[Ira's Apostle has joined the chat]
