Chaos Closes In

Its been five months after zehan's return. He has honed his skills and fighting tactics more with the help of his master.

Now, he can manifest a decent amount of space energy within his body. He learnt from the old man that the space energy users has five levels, after passing this level one can control space like if it's his own body.

These levels are -->

1. Infant Space Controler

2. Moderate Space Controler

3. Master Space Controler

4. Space Dominator

5. Space Conqueror

Zehan's currently in the second level or 'Moderate Space Control' level. He can destroy big boulders with just a flick of his hand, he can stop a waterfall midway and can open a rift in space just for a few seconds.

"Master when will the time come?"

"Hoho...boy just wait a litle bit. I can feel that disgusting bastard's filthy energy. The tower is coming!"

"You...you can feel it?"

"Of course I can! You will be able to also feel these kind of things when you reach my level...and that time isn't too far..."

"Hmph...stop teasing me!!"

"Hohohohoho..."

"Ok boy, now I need to tell you something about the tower."

"What is it!?", zehan's eyes sparkled.

"When the tower emerges in different parts of the world then the woeld will be thrown into chaos. Countless monsters will seep through the tower and half of the humanity will perish. This unnatural occurrence will natrully increase the mana level on earth and the remaining ones will awaken their hidden potentials. Some will be crazy strong, others are faster than mac jets, some will be able to release their elemental powers. They will enter the tower, get the help of the system and eventually climb to the top of the food chain. These awakened people will be called 'Tower Climbers'. The sociaty will grow based on monster materials acquired from the tower and the suppliers or tower climbers fame will soar as high as sky.", old man stopped to take some air into his old lungs.

"But how do know all this?"

Old man has gotten all silent suddenly. Zehan found this very suspicious.

"Hehe...just my assumption...hehe", old man tried to clean off the suspicion from his body.

"Eh....!?"

"But I have told you that alken devours planets to maintain it's existance right?"

"Yes", zehan confirmed that the statement

was true.

"Yes. When the humas will be ingludged with the wealth they earn by climbing tower alken will keep sucking out this earth's vitality. Several high level dungeons will appear all over the world and humans will not be able to stop monsters coming out of those. As a result humanity will be completely perish and this world will be destroyed."

Zehan couldn't shake of the felling that this old man was too suspicious as he knew these events beforehand while he was listening the story.

But he chose not to interrogate his own master.

"But how was I able to perform space magic?"

"There is no mana now you said..."

"You are right boy. There is no mana now. But do you remember the room you trained in? It was a mana room. While you were training hard all the mana in that room entered your body, cleansed it, opened your mana meridians, made you to be able to perform magic.

"Oh, so this why I fell much more powerful now...", zehan lightly hammered his left palm.

But when this master-disciple conversation was going on a strong tremor traveled though the earth like currents in the sea.

They saw that a black high tower has appered in the middle of beijing city. It looked enormous even though they were miles away from the city.

"So that's the tower....", zehan muttered as he saw the black gaint grow even bigger.
