|The unidentified substance is expanding throughout your body.|
|Many beings have begun to look at you curiously from a very distant place.|
|The substance has reached the core of your mana, next to your heart.|
|The substance has begun to modify the centre of your core, changing its base.
|The modification is in progress. 0.01%|
|The change is in progress. 0.02%|
|The modification is in progress. 0.03%|
His body began to burn as he felt his chest go up in flames. For the first time in his life he felt every single part of his body burning as he felt a strange sensation.
Kelley immediately ran to him and laid Nemesis' head on his lap.
"Please hang on... It's only my fault you're in this situation.... I can't let you die..."
Trying to concentrate as hard as he could, he used the little mana that was inside his body to try to ease Nemesis' pain.
|Another unidentified substance was detected inside the body.
|The first substance eliminated the second one.|
"|What?! Although little mana shouldn't be able to be eliminated so easily..."
*****

*****
The light from a small bonfire showed him the interior of a badly damaged dwelling.
His head was still throbbing with pain as he felt a strange sensation throughout his body. Helping himself with one hand, he sat down on the makeshift bed on which he was resting, while he tried to figure out where he was.
Slowly he began to read all the screens that had appeared to him, realising that the strange sensation he felt in his body was probably what was referred to as 'mana'.
"Nemesis!!! You shouldn't be getting up!!! How do you feel!!!"
Turning slowly towards his friend, he noticed the concern on his face.
"I just feel a little dizzy... what happened?..."
"Thanatos had sent mana inside your body, and somehow you managed to survive.... Theoretically a normal person would have to die, only if you had a mana core could you somehow try to fight it, but even then the chances of being unharmed would be very low... I don't know how you survived, but consider yourself lucky enough! Now go back and rest."
"Actually... It helped me somewhat to repair my core..."
"Whataaa?!"
"I don't know how to explain it to you.... But even since I got up.... My whole body feels strange..."
"Lie on your stomach and let me check."
Noticing the seriousness in Kelley's face he didn't fight back and moving into the position he was told, he felt my friend's cold hands rest on his skin.
Small black particles began to come out of Nemesis' body, which left him speechless, but soon afterwards an absurd tiredness hit him, causing him to collapse into sleep.
*****
When he awoke he was still in the same house and Kelley was sitting in front of the fireplace, smoking a small pipe, which he had probably found in the house.
"The situation got dangerous.... I don't know how you got a core like that.... But from now on, the situation will get more complicated. If they come to find out that you can also use mana they will send you to challenge the tower.... I can't allow that..."
"What is the tower?"
Kelley turned around and Nemesis had never sensed his eyes so cold.
"The tower, referred to as the 'Tower of Ascension', is the most dangerous place in this world. Thousands of people come from many universes just to climb it in order to gain powers and knowledge that can only be obtained there."
The eyes that until a few seconds before were detached gave way to sorrow and resentment.
"Promise me that no matter what happens you will never go to the tower..."
"..."
|Mission Principal|
|Description:
After saying goodbye to ???? you should have woken up on the first floor of the Tower of Ascension. Due to ???? the teleportation was not changed and you woke up in the prison cells of the Grand Fort. Reach the tower as soon as possible and climb it to discover your past.|
| Failure Condition:
-Don't reach the tower.|
|Reward:
-?????.|
|In case of failure:
-Loss of main missions.
-Possibility of never learning of one's origins.|
Nemesis didn't know how to answer him, he trusted Kelley, and if he asked him for that favour he must surely have had his reasons, but the only reason he had come to this place was because of the tower.
"I'll think about it..."
After all, even in the event of failure, he was just as likely to discover something about his past.
"I hope he doesn't make the wrong choice..."
Kelley went back to staring into the fire, as Nemesis tried to get out of bed.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything too rash.... And anyway, shouldn't we be looking for Dee now? How long have I been asleep and where are we now?"
"Two weeks and we are in a small house I found while looking for shelter when you passed out. Dee can wait for now, you need to recover first."
"Two weeks?!"
|Mission|
|Name: Dee's Disappearance|
|Time left: 325 hours and 12 minutes.|
"Come on we don't have time to waste, we have to find Dee!"
He walked towards the door he imagined was on his way out, and when he opened it he could not believe his eyes.
Around all the dying trees were small black particles, similar to the ones he had seen near his body.
"What's going on here! Why are there all those little orbs around the plants!"
"What are you referring to? What orbs?"
"Can't you see them? They are similar to the little balls that had come out of my body.... What does that mean?"
"Are you sure you're not tired? I don't see anything sir..."
"Hmm..."
He walked out of the house and approached the nearest tree, and as soon as he touched the bark, the spheres came close to his hand, generating small lightning bolts that connected the particles together, and joined them together to form a sphere the size of a ping-pong ball.
He did not know why, but he perceived no threat. The sphere slowly descended, until it rested on the back of Nemesis' hand and penetrated the skin, becoming a symbol.
