The Eye of sage

[you have cleared the 7th floor]

[you have been rewarded with 64000 karma points]

[you are the 3rd person in the history of the tower to clear the 7th floor at a lv.10]

[you are rewarded with 'Orb of detection']

[you have completed the quest 'Quest of the old sage]

[you are rewarded with ' The eye of the sage']

Shiva got a little bit sad knowing that he was still only ranked the 3rd, but his mood got brighter seeing the last two messages.

"It worked!!"

Since the old sage himself that his soul has to be freed from the Tower's confinement, Shiva used his skill "Soul Reap' to separate the soul of the old sage from his body, He was worried since he did not know whether it would work since he already killed his body but O boy! He succeeded, hence gaining an item that was supposed to be only accessible after clearing at least 60 floors.

He was quite excited to check the description of the item so he opened its information tab,

[The eye of a Sage:-

It is said that when one gains enough knowledge and became a Sage, he will gain the ability to see through the weakness of everything, This is the Eye of such a Sage, "Lindos'. the one-eyed sage, Has provided this as a reward for the person who freed him from the confinement of the tower.

Effect: Implementing the eye will enable the user to see through the weakness of beings and things in his capabilities.]

Shiva was conflicted seeing the information about the item, No doubt that the item was indeed very good befitting an epic ranked quest reward, but the problem was that to use it he have to replace his current eye, while it would have been an easy task if he was still on Earth, Any random hospital would have been able to implant a new eye replacing his old one, but here in the Tower, he didn't know what to do.

Putting the item in the inventory, for now, he looked at the new skill and Title he got,

[Soul storage:-(passive)

It is a space where the soul of the beings you reap will be stored, the capacity of the storage will be equal to half of your intelligence stat, The souls which are stronger will hold more space within soul storage.

Current souls:- Lindos, the one-eyed sage.]

The skill was just as the name suggested, it was a storage space for the souls of the dead.

[Soul Reaper:-(rare)

One who bears this title will have the ability to reap the souls of the dead, The dead will always be your comrades in both body and soul.

effect:- Will grant you the skill 'Soul interact(passive)']

[Soul interact(passive):-

will grant the user, the ability to interact with the soul of the deceased]

The title was quite good, he now had the ability to talk with the soul of the dead, it was an amusing ability to have indeed,

As he was looking at his new passive skill a funny idea popped into his mind as he looked into the soul storage, as soon as he did so, he was sucked inside the storage and soon materialized behind a person.

It was an Old man with a bald head, a white beard, and a mustache with long eyebrows was looking at the river flowing through the middle with a serene expression on his face as he was mumbling,

"Seems like it is the river of reincarnation, After all those years of struggles, to die by the hands of a kid, what a disgrace"

Suddenly his face distorted as his eyes twitched thinking about Shiva,

"damn that boy, Fu** him, fuc* his family, How dare he kill this old sage"

he was letting out a series of curses to Shiva, when he heard a voice,

"Hey old cot, Show some respect to your savior, I took the trouble to save you from the Tower you know"

The expression on his face changed once again as he heard the voice, He turned around to see who it was and he was shocked at the sight, It was him, his nemesis, his enemy, it was Shiva,

"Hey boy, what the hell did you do to me, where the hell am I?"

He asked angrily,

"I dunno! this is the first time I am using this skill so I too don't know anything"

Shiva replied casually, looking all around, the space inside the storage was surprisingly good, it gave one a feeling of comfort, a warm feeling of belongingness, it was quite amazing. but a certain person was not happy after becoming a test subject for a new skill.

"Whaaaattt!?? you bas****d.."

"You didn't even know what that skill was and you used it on me, You Fu**er what would you do if my soul was lost forever?"

He angrily retorted at Shiva,

"Well, it was not my problem"

Shiva said in a carefree tone as he jumped to the River flowing inside.

"What....! Damn you, I am gone kill you... you bastard...!"

Thus the scene of an old man cursing a young man swimming in the river proceeded, in a space that the whole world was not aware of...

******

The atmosphere around the tenth floor was now that of a festival, players were seen all around the streets busy with their own work.

Traders and shops were all around, Various guilds could be seen camping near a huge building.

It was a colosseum,

The colosseum was so big that it could easily fit tens of thousands of spectators, and it has an arena big enough to house a thousand at once.

For it, was a stage prepared by the Tower for the new Climbers to show their potential to the world.

Every guild, be it a strong or weak, was there to spectate in a hope of finding a good seedling,

And this time the Tower seemed to have prepared an eye-catching reward too...
