^Touch the black serpent of the mark and you will be able to do it.^
Without even asking, the other soul had already given him the answer he was looking for.
"Thank you... "
As Agreus and Balfer wondered who he was talking to, he touched the mark and a screen appeared before him.
|Trapped Souls '2'|
|Do you want to free a soul? Yes/No|
|Do you wish to delete a soul? Yes/No
|Do you wish to make a soul a demon loyal only to you? Yes/No||
By pressing on the message that appeared he selected to free a soul.
|Which soul are you going to release?
|-*********
-Serpent of the Eternal Forest
Selecting the snake a white smoke began to emerge from the mark of Nemesis, later taking the form of the snake that had died, although the figure that appeared was now only a few centimetres long.
The snake began to float through the air as if it were content, only to rub against Agreus' hand and slowly vanish.
"Little Virkit...."
Clutching hard at the hand that had made contact with his soul, he took a long breath, then stared at Nemesis.
"Despite you releasing his soul, I can never forgive that he died because of you."
Without even wasting another second he turned his back and walked away, not even leaving time to reply.
[Congratulations! You have completed the side mission!]

"..."
A surreal silence fell over Nemesis and Balfer. Nemesis looked towards the ground, unable to raise his eyes to Balfer as he continued to look at him in disgust.
"How could you take that poor creature's soul?..."
"I... I didn't do it on purpose..."
"..."
"For a moment I thought you were someone I know.... But it must have only been because it has been many centuries since I last met him. Age must have clouded my memory. Now go away."
"..."
Without even daring to look up he began to walk towards the direction she had previously told him as he bit his lip.
'I didn't do anything myself... It was just the skill I have that did it all by itself.... Then why do I have to be treated this way and feel this way...?...'
^...^
**********
Crossing the forest he arrived outside, and using the skill he had obtained he arrived in the city within a day.
'To use skills you simply have to think about using them, as if they were a part of your body.'
He too was surprised at how easy it was to use them, even though it was actually a very complicated process, but thanks to the Tower System that simplified all the processes automatically he was able to get used to it very quickly.
Arriving at the city gate he looked at his 'State'.
|Name: Nemesis
Race: Human
Title: Endless + Others (1)

-Health: 1000
-Attack: 17 -Defence: 10
-Mana: 100 -Magic Power: 30
-Intelligence: 13 -Fortune: 11
Skills:
-Mana core 3.0%.
-Absolute vacuum 1.0%.
-Fast Step 16.0%
The more he used his skills in fact, the higher the percentage he was on the side, even he didn't know what would happen once he reached the maximum. He also wondered why his system didn't give him more missions after entering the Tower.
"Nemesis system, why don't you give me more quests?..."
Although he was ashamed to say it verbally he tried even though he received no response from the System.
^Now you're also talking to yourself?
"Sh."
Turning red having forgotten about the soul that hardly spoke to him he entered the city.
The setting was very similar to that on Earth, the streets were made of beaten stone while the dwellings were built with wood. Surrounding the city were high stone walls and every now and then people armed with bows could be seen.
Exploring the city he came to a small square with a beautiful fountain in the centre, approaching it he sat down beside it, resting and enjoying the waterworks.
"Oi old man, who would ever want you as a teacher sorry!"
Turning towards the sound of shouting he saw a group of three people who began to tug at a poor old man.
"I'm not doing you any harm.... I am merely looking for a pupil, if you are not interested, leave."
"It's already three days now that we see you coming here to the square and bothering all the people asking them if they want to become your pupils, but no one would ever want to become a pupil of a poor old man like you. Stop bothering people and get out of here."
Giving him a harder shove than the others, the elderly gentleman fell to the ground, while all the passers-by pretended nothing had happened and walked away.
"I just want to find a pupil..."
Nemesis could not bear it any longer and ran to help the old man.
"Leave this poor man alone, he's not doing anything wrong."
"Oh~~"
The boy in the middle of the two who had pushed the old man to the ground turned towards Nemesis.
"And who are you supposed to be? This poor old man's prince charming?"
[New Secondary Mission!]
[Name: Lord in Danger]
[Difficulty: C]
[Three guys are beating up a lord and with your heart of gold you wanted to save.]
[Mission Completion Requirements:

|Failure:

The other two laughed as the anger inside Nemesis only grew.
"He didn't do anything to you, just leave."
"Oh~~, or what? Will you be the one to send us away?"
"Yes."
All three boys laughed almost simultaneously.
"Try if you can."
The boy to Nemesis' left walked over and punched him straight in the face, sending Nemesis immediately to the mat.
"Is that all you can do? How would you want to save this old man if you can't even protect yourself?"
The three boys laughed again as the one who had thrown the punch began to inflate the muscle of his arm, as if to brag about his strength.
"..."
^Remain on the ground, weak as you are you could never do anything against the three of them, you have no chance of winning against them. With one punch they knocked you down, not to mention that they will surely have abilities with which they could even kill you on the spot, while you only know how to run fast for a short while. Stay on the ground if you don't want to come to a bad end.^.
"..."
Ignoring the words he heard or the boys' laughter, he got up and posed like a boxer. The boys continued to laugh as the same one from before returned to the charge, he threw another punch aimed at Nemesis' face but this time he dodged it and charging a hook hit the boy in the jaw, who however did not move even a millimetre.
Nemesis set out to discover his past, using only the little information he had obtained from the 'Father' of his orphanage. Following the trail he arrived at a Tower higher than the sky where he will face magical and dangerous adventures.
Mythological creatures and gods watch the Tower, enjoying the spectacle it offers, while others prefer to live inside it, influencing plans and even people.
