Eleventh to Twelfth floor

Returning to the tower we talk about what to do on the next floor as we were only told it is usually a longer floor, but nothing but bring usual items for long time dungeon exploring. We figure it is like the first floor to hunt a number of monsters in a time frame and if we kill them ahead of time then we will finish sooner so we gat all the supplies needed from the store only costing about 5 coins for enough food and water to last us 6 months.

We then decided to start it as soon as possible, so after packing everything and making sure everyone is set we wait for the tower announcement.

---Your team leader has chosen to go to the eleventh floor, if you agree to the test do so if anyone disagrees then you will not be able to begin the test.

[Yes]

[No]

{Choosing no will make it so you can't attempt it for another week}---

We all agree and are transported to a run down town inside a cave with barriers all around, everything is made of stone from the barrier to the houses and fences it smells like a cess pit and the people look haggard and ill with yellow skin and black veins all over them.

But what stood out the most is there are no tower residents at all among those here but rather everyone is a tower climber, there raggedy and torn clothes and armor proves that as the tower residents are always clean and well dressed no matter their station or situation the tower guarantees their clothes and food.

  So this is an entire town of tower climbers who have been here a while and look horrible from the situation, looking at the small stone stage area we appeared on it is clear this new floor is drastically different.

---The task is to have your team hunt 100 mole rats in their natural environment and get the front right nail from each without killing it and it must be healthy when you release it, half of your team must not have died for the task to count. The death count resets every month allowing those who have died to neutralize their deaths, if you are the fastest in your spawn group of 100 teams you will be rewarded ten tower coins and one less for each rank you fall down.---

We look at Wyatt to see his reaction and he looks at me and nods his head, "Aadi you are to heal the creature as well as enhance our speed to allow us to catch and release the creature without problem. Terrance we will surround it so set up a round barrier to prevent escape, everyone else your job is to help catch it while not killing or causing too serious of damage."

We immediately set out and begin our hunt but run into an unexpected problem as there are an abnormally large amount of slimes in the area, meaning we had spawned in a slime nest and no other creature would be here.

We decide to abandon this area and leave cutting the slimes that tried to surround us down while killing off a good portion we come across to make those who spawn here in the future task much easier for them. We continue out of the area at full speed taking us about 1 hour do to me being slower then most of them, we find a good spot to set up and begin our hunt.

By the end of the first day we have caught twenty and none were injured when released thanks to me healing them to complete health and even better health then some of them were in before we caught it.

We set up camp for the day with me giving Terrance a energy boost to last the night with him constantly using his ability today, we sleep peacefully through the night with the usual guard schedule in case of monsters or other teams, it only said the claws are what you need it never said anything about not stealing them as long as they are valid.

We continue to do the same thing the next day and caught thirty, we are half way done when another group comes across us and sees the nails in our hands with the gold hue meaning they are valid because you can't put them in a space and attack us.

They are dead and we settle in to sleep after their bodies disappear, five more nails on us we now have 55 nails.

We continue our hunt for the next two days when half way through the second day we get all that we need, with 100 valid nails in our hands the tower announces the first completion message along with the rewards.

---You have completed the task first, rewarding ten tower coins to all members, your team will now be sent to the next floor when ready---

We return to our rooms a second later with having completed the task in only 4 days despite them saying it is a long task, but we were simply to diverse of a group with someone able to heal injuries so less carful when catching, someone with a barrier so they couldn't run away and me enhancing speed to help in catching made this harder task easy.

The mole rats live in burrows underground in groups and usually attack people in large groups or escape using tunnels quickly as although no more then mid grade low level they are hard to catch due to speed.

They are easy to kill just smoke the holes or put poison in but doing so here has a high chance to kill them nd that would count as a fail.

With the task done early I return to my home with Lucien and can see his surprise at our rapid success as he said it took them two weeks to complete as they had to nurse back to health some of them to validate the nails and even killed a few on accident.

With that I took a nap with my plant then played push the emotions with my plant and returned downstairs to eat before heading to the practice room.

Me and Lucien sparred but I still couldn't even hit him his senses were to keen and he could see the way my muscles rippled to know how I would attack, it is something he had apparently picked up naturally after enough fights.

After the day break I return to the tower for the team meeting to decide our course of action, we had spent eight days from the tenth to twelfth floor and the were doing much better then most even by talented people standards. We decide to spend 6 days practicing together and let those with paperwork get it done.

After the second week of officially beginning our tower climb we prepare for the next floor we have been informed it is like the third floor but larger more complicated with more monsters and puzzles and no survival supplies outside of a weapon and armor can be brought in.

Meaning you will have to solve puzzles to get items and will need someone with a wide arrange of knowledge in creation field as they will be the most likely ones able to solve the problem.

With me having told them of having been in the production part of the tutorial floor it is agreed I will be aiding in puzzle solving alongside Kian who also has some info do to elven culture being more about production and growing things then fighting or killing.

After everyone is geared up we wait for the message.

---Your team leader has chosen to go to the twelfth floor, if you agree to the test do so if anyone disagrees then you will not be able to begin the test.

[Yes]

[No]

{Choosing no will make it so you can't attempt it for another week}---

Everyone affirms their choice and we appear in and we all appear in a large stone brick corridor with a stone carved sealing above us with patterns all over it and what looked like arches holding it up, it was much better then the cave maze back on floor third floor.

---Get to the center of the maze with at least half the team remaining, there are 100 teams attempting to finish the maze only a quarter will be allowed. The first group to finish the maze will have all members awarded ten tower coins.---

But in ten minutes we run into a kobold group of fifty, and a group of around 200 slimes only thirty minutes after that, while after a whole day of monster killing we still have yet to find a single supply chest.

As there is no way to know the time with no light and no clocks we instead use internal clocks to know when to rest and when to move, after the first two days we find our first supply chest filled with basic food and water, we use Amara's fire to cook the food supplied that night and Conner continues to senses the surrounding area for larger then average open areas using the amount of water vapor is in that area.

After 5 days of fighting and wandering he feels the area about a fifteen hour walk from our current position with a few dense monster groups on the way, we get there the next day making this task haven taken us 6 days to complete.

---Your Team is the first to past the test, awarding all team members ten tower coins, you will now be sent to the next floor when ready---

We return to our room in just barely my week time frame if it had taken much longer I may have been in trouble, though Lucien will probably be more understanding as I was in a task not just an in-between section but he would still beat me the next week straight before letting me back into the tower.

I tell everyone I am heading back I head home and Lucien isn't there most likely with Nilan and at a hotel so as not to be interrupted again.

I go to bed and wake up the next day to the smell of breakfast, heading to the kitchen where Lucien no doubt is I instead see Nilan cooking. I am confused until I see Lucien have a slight off walk, I had assumed Nilan the bottom but apparently not and apparently Nilan isn't small either despite his smaller then usual for this worlds appearance.

I give Lucien a grin in amusement and he shows me his hicky  covered neck while saying, " At least I am getting some what about you still a virgin I'm sure, and if not make sure to tell me who you let fuck you, cause you sure are not a top."

I sit down knowing I lost that argument hard and have nothing to defend myself with from that, we all eat together and I go back to the team after telling him we are heading to the thirteenth floor.

"I'll give you two weeks for this floor as it is a bit of a random fall one, so make sure to be on time or prepare for a beating. Oh and young one you are eighteen think of finding someone out there if only to release some stress, even if only for a single night so to have some experience whether male or female just don't let anyone get pregnant and it is fine." Lucien says and I rush out with a red face.

Returning to the tower for the fourteenth floor I contemplate who would be someone I would actually be willing to do that with, Nali has a lot of experience and would be a good teacher but she is to far away, I am unsure with anyone else I actually know and trust.

I can't help but think of captain as he really is a stunner by all means.
