5 Changes

Surely, the girl lizard was the first one to pass through the veil of the barrier.

While others were banging their hands on the barrier on frustration, she entered through the barrier as if she was taking a walk in her own backyard.

She looked at me before she turned her head away.

I held my chin using my hands as I gazed at the Regulars.

For them, this pre-test is a test that will decide their future. They staked everything they had to get to this point, but this pre-test might as well take everything from them if they failed to pass.

God is never fair. After all, the god is always asleep.

Fate revolves around everything like a thread that guides you. It can guide you to despair or joy. It has decided what you will become in life when you were born to this world.

In that case, are you truly free? Are your actions really your own will?

I questioned myself as I looked at the sky.

I got reincarnated to this universe using the help of another god like me.

But what if, everything was just a story or a novel in someone's perspective?

What should I feel...? I do not know.

Rather, right now, as I am having these thoughts, whether they are planned or not, the fact that I am feeling that I am thinking these thoughts using my free will is more than enough.

Well. How could I even question this reality if I think it is indeed reality?

"Baam, you seem to be in deep thought."

Khun and Rak had passed through the veil of the barrier. I smiled at them.

"Yep. I was thinking of what would I do if you two did not pass."

"Strong turtle! Don't underestimate us!"

Rak complained as he lifted his two hands on the air. His big spear looked dangerous as it whirled on the air.

Khun sat besides me as he silently looked at Rak play around.

This kid also have things to worry about, huh?

The guy carried his blanket as he easily passed through the barrier. He then placed his blanket on the ground and continued sleeping.

Wow. This guy is really carefree. Sleeping must be more important than other things to him.

After a while, those who passed and those who were feeling despair was separated by a thin barrier. Those who did not pass did not have any life in their eyes.

I felt complicated as I looked back that I was also just like them in the past.

A normal person that could possibly die at any moment.

Hm? I noticed a team with only two members. They looked worriedly at the other side.

There was a young girl with pure silver hair. She looked uncomfortable as she tried to pass through the barrier with all of her strength. But, the barrier wasn't letting her in.

My Shinsu Warping skill allow me to be a god. I can do whatever I want.

Divine Sense is an ability from stories I have read back then.

Now, I am using that same ability to inspect the young girl.

She looked beautiful and cute. Definitely an innocent young girl who came to ascend the tower to achieve her own goal.

I could see that instead of her not having enough capability to bear the power of Shinsu, it was as if the Shinsu of the tower was not letting her in.

Someone do not want this young girl to enter the tower and ascend the stairs.

Only people from those families or either that Jahad can do it. The administrators are also suspects.

For now, let me help you.

I am finally seeing changes. This young girl was probably just a side character that was eliminated in the webtoon. Things that I cannot see because of restriction in perspective, I am finally seeing them.

The young girl suddenly was able to go through the barrier.

Her two teammates were surprised and relieved. The young girl looked happy as she smiled cheerily without any care in the world.

Now then, I helped you pass. Now, the Shinsu of this tower will not bar your entry.

I stood up as I glanced at Lero Ro. The latter glanced back.

This person is not powerful enough to sense anything, but those in above definitely sensed it. This is definitely a major step. I just made myself tons of enemies just from helping a single girl.

Is it worth it?

Definitely not, realistically speaking. But, is this not more interesting?

I looked at the sky, directly piercing through membranes of !&$#(!#$.

Enjoy yourself if you guys exist while I will enjoy it as well.

A blonde young woman appeared and looked at the teams who passed.

"The next test will be first come, first served. Those who want to proceed, please fall in line."

There were hidden intentions behind her smile. Khun also knew that something was not right.

But, Khun. There are a lot of smart people here. You are definitely at the top amongst them. That is precisely why that smile from her is the most poisonous for you.

This next test was something that will make you realize one of your shortcomings.

"Please..."

It was now our turn. The blonde young woman opened the door and allowed us inside.

But, someone tapped our shoulders. I looked back and saw a weird-looking mascot.

The mascot looked at me and others.

"I am here to give you a hint."

I laughed and before pushing Khun and Rak into the Test Room.

"H-heyy!"

Khun struggled, but he cannot win against my strength.

We now entered the room as the door behind us closed quietly.

There are three doors before us. I already know what this test is all about.

It is obvious that we must choose one of three doors to proceed.

While Khun was thinking of something, Rak tried to move forward.

"Wait, Rak! We must think carefully before we proceed."

As he was trying to hold Rak from going, I stepped towards the door at the center.

"Wait, Baam! We need to think-"

"Khun, sometimes you must have courage. Your smarts will take you somewhere but it is not useful at these kind of tests. Sometimes you must take a risk to make it big. If you want to play it safe, you will definitely regret a lot of things in life. Only those who can accurately predict the future can play it safe because they have insurance that everything will work out fine."

I smiled at Khun as I pushed the door open.

"Congratulations on passing the test!"

I looked at the yellow haired woman before us.

"Hello, Regulars. I am Hansung Yu. You have passed the test."

In the story, she facilitated the test inside the room, but this time, she was waiting beyond the door. She smiled like a graceful lady, but he's a guy.

She looks beautiful, but he's a guy.

I shook my head as I got rid of these jokes from a certain anime I knew.

I looked on the ground and my eyes pierced through the space. I looked at the other test room where the first test will be conducted.

In the original story, only three remained because they massacred everyone. But this time, Rachel is not present anymore.

So what is going to happen?

Oh? Haha. So this is how you guys will do it.

The 10 Families of this tower actually sent their geniuses this time.

For what? To hunt that young girl...?

She was that important, huh?

Is she the illegitimate daughter of Jahad?

That was what I was thinking but there was a glint in my eyes. In the story, I did not like how the 10 Families and Jahad restricted the tower only to 134th floor.

Might as well deal them with a blow as early as possible.

Actually, should I just kill Jahad right now?
