Harry's POV:
I seem to to have arrive in a closed dungeon, the only exit seems to be a dungeon door further in. I have gotten curious at the doors design so I rubbed it, so I can read the inscriptions, but the door suddenly opened and furthered reveal to be more pictures, a screw it, I just wanted to read the sign earlier.
"Greetings child." said the voice.
"What a strange creature you are, mister, highly sophisticated, well-mannered, I had to guess a bit shrewd with the air of attitude, probably due to long experience, a tester of sorts, perhaps, judging by the weapon, or is it there to banish me for I have trespassed in uncharted territory." I asked the intelligent being that looks like an evolved bunny with a cross of a fox.
"What an insightfull child, you will climb far here, as you have guessed, I am a tester of sorts young regular? or is it irregular?. It does say both, quite an interesting person."
"My name is Haedon, guardian of the lowest level of this tower." Haedon introduced himself.
Haedon's Picture

"I'm curious, mister, there was an inscription on the door, but it was a bit faded over the years and I was curious if you would enlighten me it's meaning." I asked him.
"That my child is the epitaph of the tower. What is it you desire?, power?, wealth, glory?, or is it something else?, tell me child?, what is your desire?." Haedon asked.
"Adventure." I answered firmly.
"Very well, that can be certainly found here if you climb at the top, my test has been decided, just pop this giant ball, take all your time in the world." Headon said as he walked away.
"Hmm no deadly giant fish, must be the half regular judgement." I thought.
I decided to take a safe distance.
"What are you doing child?." Asked Haedon.
"I'm using my insight, we truly do not know, if that ball is booby trapped, so I'm going to try to break it at a distance, but that in turn looses my strength of my throw with the necessarily strong and pop it. Let us proceed." I said as I coated my hair with nen and thew it.
"BOOOOM!." a large explosion occured.
"Quite fortunate for me that I took precautions." I said pleased.
"Indeed, you will go far young regular, you past my test, the next floor is Evankhell's test floor, good luck." Haedon said as he transported me to the next floor.
Evankhell's Floor
"I seem to be in an open field, the instructor just announced that the test has started, supposed to thin down the 400 members to 200, fun." I said as I just walked to the nearest people.
"Halt, we are the twin red head devils, were sorry, but we have to take you out." They said in unision as they pointed a stick.
"Hardiharhar, what are you? Fred and George Weasely of Hogwarts?, yeah right." I said sarcastically.
"Hey, how do you know about us?, how come you know about us?." They said in alarm.
"Seriously?, I was pulling straws there, the only way your here, is that you went ahead with Dumbledore's for the greater good scheme, Joke shop experiment gone wrong, or you guys gone bonkers and dared to use the veil." I said sarcastically.
"The third one, although we did one and two." They said in unison.
"Gahh, I was joking, who knew it was all a hit, well to tell you the truth, I'm an ordinary teen boy whose soul was shoved into the body of an alternative Harry potter's body . Using my high libido imagination, I unlocked a weird skill that makes dungeon crawler games into life by unlocking my magic early, I received a super mysterious item from the monster drop and using it resulting me to be flung to another dimension, thus my array of weird knowledge and skills, oh yeah, I did get blood adopted into a family of assassins, who knew they had good figures?, I could probably win 'Miss World' of the muggle beauty pageant hands down." I said to them
"Ho, you're as cooky as us mate, whaddaya say?, wanna team up?." They both said.
"Sure, oh I did come into a comic depicting this tower, but only for a few floors since it was new and you guys need three people to pass this floor lucky us eh?." I said to them.
"Yay, we have our meal ticket, O lead us fearless leader."
"I solemnly swear, that I'm up to no good." I said as I smiled.
"We got ourselves a marauder mate, Huzzah!."
"Yes, we wait...and there's our cue, we have to hold each other?, that just seems wrong, let's just put our hands over" I said to them.
"Yeah, we don't swing that way mate, hands altogether now." Feed said as we put our hands over.
"Flash!."
"Looks like were here, keep your eyes open for potential ally." I said to them
"What about that fellow over there with the one eye?." George said.
"Rejected, too weak, why hello, I would not have expected to see familiar faces, follow me, we have our member's" I said to a familiar looking teens.
"Well, well, did you guys finished greede island?, or already participated in the chimera ants?, or still stuck at heaven's arena trying to give a clown his plate number?." I said smiling.
"Hoh, and why should we tell you that?, Killua said as he covered Gon's mouth.
"Cause I'll give you a pocky for it." I said as I got a pocky out of nowhere.
"Deal." Killua said quickly as he took the pocky.
"You really know me well, and I guess well tell." Gon was about to tell.
"Hold it, In the Hunter world there is always equivalent exchange, how about we just show each other our hunter license cards." I offered them.
"Ehh?, your a hunter too?, that's great, on three, one, two, three." Gon said As we showed our hunters card, Killua joined.
"Wow, a triple star, wait the minute, Harry Zoldyck?, I don't have a brother, come to think of it, we look similar, although your feminine looking." Said Killua.
"Actually, I met an alternative you, got together through pocky, and we did a blood adoption ritual with each other as a brotherhood initiation through a funny goblet you received from a bonus job, we didn't think it was real at the time, Fred, George let me introduce you to our future associates, Kindly explain what a blood adoption ritual please." I said to them.
"In simple terms, you guys, take on the traits of each other making you blood related." Said Feed and George alternatively.
"Ahh, I guess it's our turn, we finished up greede Island, participated the chimera ants, and got a job at exploring the Dark Continent, our ship got sucked in a whirlpool and we ended up here." Said Gone.
"Fufufufufufuu." I laughed
"Hey why are you laughing.?" Asked Killua and Gon.
"Ahh sorry, let me in you as an inside joke, my occupation is a dimension Hunter, although very random, I actually ended up as chairman for a year as a replacement for Netero during the chimera ant incident and I can guessed that you just made some mayhem during that election." I said to them an inside Joke.
"You, know, now that I think about it, that is funny." Said Gon who laughed and Killua who got it joined.
"Well wanna team up?, supposedly you can get anything at the top, and learn an ability only available in this tower Shinsoo. You've seen them have you?, with gyo?." I asked them.
"So that's what they're called sure, If I can't trust my own family, who can I trust." Said Killua with a handshake and we shaked hands gauging each other.
"You've trained under Master Biscuit well my fellow disciple." I said as I put up a gyo number.
"3." they both said at the same time.
"Excellent, hehehe then you'll love this." I said as I handed Gon an Killua a ring that contains plenty of spells that will bring back from the past
"Is that?." Killua look at Gon and each other and took the rings.
"Book!." They said as familiar book appeared before them.
"This is useful, however you did this, my hat's of to you." Said Killua as he learned there were plenty of Nen masters needed to activate the cards.
"Hey, don't we get some too?." Said Fred and George.
"Sorry guys, but those things I gave them is the imitation to the spells the wizarding world can do, except the healing spell theirs is a bit better, no taste needed." I explained.
"Ahhh, I see, but you better give something next time." they said.
"Hmmm, hey how about a familiar?, willing to give it a go?." I asked.
"What kind.?" Fred and Heir he asked.
"A mini dragon and a rainbow phoenix." I asked them.
"I'll take the Dragon." Said Fred.
"I'll take the Rainbow Phoenix." Said George.
I handed them eggs in an incubator.
"Just drop a blood on the eggs and it will be bonded with you." I said
They just did and was happy by the results
"Looks like the administrator is here to give us the test." I said to them
"My name is Lero-Lo, I am this floors administrator and a ranker. Before we proceed, we will have a little test, please walk past this line." The blonde administrator said as he purposely ejected the participants and he placed a big shinsoo barrier.
http%3a%2f%2fimg3.wikia.nocookie.net%2f__cb20111...Leroro.jpg [http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111101100053/towerofgod/images/5/56/Leroro.jpg]
"Wealth, power, beauty, eternal youth can be made with shinsoo, there is even a rumor that Lord Uruk made life with shinsoo, shinsoo is everywhere and like most energy, but it lacks capacity, only waiting to be weilded, it is your job as participants of this tower to master shinsoo." Said Lero-lo to the participants.
"Gon, Killua, Ken!, George, Fred, Coat yourselves and your familiar with magic then proceed." I commanded them and we passed the the barrier splendidly.
"You guy's work fast, are you trained in shinsoo?." Asked Lero-Lo.
"We are trained in the use of internal energy within ourselves to have the protection from for shinoo barrier, I do look forward when they teach us harness shinsoo, but that is only available at higher floors, so in the mean time we will stick with what we know best as it has served us well.
"By the way Mr. administrator, aren't there to few this time? I would assume you get more passing applications ratio." I said to him.
"Just low quality this year, give it some time, desperate people can step up to the challenge." Lero-Lo said as he checked the other participants.
"Hey Kilua, what did happen to your third member?" I asked curiously.
"Left because he was scared of us." Killua said honestly.
"Yea, hastily made team does that, these two?, we actually got along because I was being sarcastic." I said honestly.
"Its true, we were about to incapacitate him and then he babbled some nonsense that was actually spot on what happened to us, he's so scary, he even pulls stuff out of his ass." Said Fred and George.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.
"Yeah I do, where do you think I pulled those items earlier, it came from there, jokes aside I need to talk to the administrator." I explained.
"Mr. Lero-lo!, over here please." I said as I waved at him.
"What is it?." Lero-lo said as he came over.
"Well I need a favor, you see we decided to team up, unfortunately one of their members bailed out, you know shaky alliance and all that, is it possible to let us all in one team?." I asked nicely.
"Its not actually that uncommon to make new alliance early and we just merge random contestants to even them out, very well, I will allow this change, listen be careful around the goofy kid with the strange get-up, the talking duck and the funny talking dog, that's my warning to you, they are all irregulars." Lero-lo said to us.
I took a closer look at what Lero-lo was talking about, I did a double take, It was Sora, Donald, and Goofy from the Kingdom hearts series, judging from their clothes, it would be from the second or third sereies from the game which means they are veterans.
Let's see who else is out there, what!?, an alternate Komatsu and Toriko even made it here?, hmm yup, they already mastered both food honor, lovely competition.
"Recognize some some familiar faces?." Asked Killua seriously.
"We have two strong teams to watch out for, the goofy kid with the talking duck, and the funny talking dog, watch out they have strong combat capabilities and know real magic, they are also world travelers and I'm pretty sure they have seen serious fights." I said to my team which got them all listening in.
"Anyone else we should watch out for?." Asked Gon this time still exited.
"The blue haired muscle man with the scared looking short man as his partner." I said to them.
"You can't be joking?." They all said in disbelief.
"Afraid not, the small man is a chef, seems like he mastered the technique that drastically reduces your concentration, power, excessive movements in his movements, along with the Big guy. Don't underestimate them, I know the same technique myself, and it lead to one devastatingly powerful attack, who knows what he may have been created with his. His partner is a well known rare ingredient hunter called Bishuko-ya, they have in them implanted gourmet cells which enables them superhuman strength and abilities, their strength is further evolved through the process of eating in the delicious food they eat." I said confidently.
"Ano, you seem to be knowledgeable about us mister, do you know how for us to get home?." Said Komatsu.
"OMG!." where everyone's thought as they didn't really felt his prescence.
"Yo!, Komatsu what are you doing over there." Said Toriko who now came over to us.
"This person is surprisingly knowledgeable Toriko-san, and I thought he would know of a way to our home.
"Actually, I'm a dimension traveler, and I can only control where I go to previous worlds I have visited and the rest is random, I'm sorry, I don't have a method to return you home because the gourmet world I have visited is different from yours, but fret not, the answer your looking for is indeed at the top of this tower." I explained to Komatsu and Toriko.
"So, you don't know either, well thanks anyways, if you need help, call us." said Toriko.
"Jeez doesn't he have a sense of danger?, we could be pitted against each other you know?." I asked Komatsu to talk some sense.
"He actually is a pretty good judge of character, he's just a bit grumpy that there's no food here yet." Said Komatsu.
"Jeez what a strange guy, well seeing as I know what he's like, he's probably really really hungry, and the food here doesn't really become available in higher levels, and knowing how he eats, you will go bankrupt in debt. Gahh!, I can't leave you guys alone here." I said to Komatsu as I took out a large box with a containers of assorted pocket food/creature.
"Is this?, hmm, what are these pellets?, but I do know the names that is labeled on these , they are known as large creatures in the gourmet world that produces high quality ingredients." Said Komatsu.
"These are a secret project from the gourmet world IGO government where I visited, each one of those pellets contain an adult version of the ingredients. To release them just add a drop of water and it will be released. Also here take this device that has a red button at the center, tell Toriko to put this on the ground and press it, it's actually an instant buffet table, knowing Toriko, he's barely holding it in, just don't tell him it was from me or he'll take my whole supplies. Good luck chef Komatsu." I said to him and I went back to my group.
Komatsu POV:
I didn't know what to think, the person he and Toriko met in here so far were bloodthirsty barbarians and they were forced to sully their hands untill they reached Evankhell's test floor.
I was just minding my own business when I heard that pretty lady warning about the contestants to watch out for, she seems to have a wide variety information, she even pointed me and Toriko as a threat, then she said her reasoning, they were pretty accurate actually that me and Toriko having learned 'Food Honor' from Shokurin temple, but then she mentioned having learned it herself which means she was a chef herself and chef's have honor. So with my hopes up I decided to approach their group. They were pretty startled, but we were able to strike a civil conversation, and found out that she was a dimensional traveler. I asked in the hopes that she may know of our way home, but she was saddened that her form of Dimensional ability is limited to world a she have visited before. I was saddened, but she told me that the method me and Toriko were looking for is indeed at the top of this tower. She even gave me a food supply with the thought of Toriko's predicament. I was right, Chef's do have honor. She then gave me a device which was supposed to be an instant buffet for Toriko. I was very thankful for that encounter. She may never truly know how she gave me hope on my views on humanity.
I went back to see Toriko.
"Yo! Komatsu, I know I said it plenty of times, but I'm really hungry." Said Toriko.
"I have just the thing, the kind lady from before seems to know you, well from a different version of you, follow me." I said as I went into a clearing and pushed the button on the ground.
"Wasn't I not supposed to say where I got this from her?, oops I forgot, I'll just apologize later." I thought as there was a large smoke and it revealed a lavish instant buffet table.
"Whoa, the lady knows her stuff, Komatsu, let's ding in, Itadakimasu!." Toriko said as he bulldozed the food, but on a miracle note, the empty dishes seems yo be refilled ten times before it went out of juice.
"Well now, that food was a deliciously mean dish, I think I leveled my gourmet cells five times, which is unheard of, Komatsu, were sticking to those group, we never repay kindness with betrayal, plus I'm pretty sure those guy's are interesting." Said Toriko and I absolutely agree.
Toriko called the The test administrator over.
"What can I do for you gentleman?." Asked Lero-lo.
"Ahh yes, as you can tell we are missing a member and we were wondering if we can join an existing team with those five over there." Toriko pointed out to Harry's group.
"Ahh, since you are an uneven team, I'll allow it, but that's the max for your group, the director will surely have my hide, It was supposed to be a three group thing, but it was so uneven that I allowed the uneven large groups to form ." Said Lero-ro as he left to check on the others.
"Come Komatsu, to our new teammates." Said Toriko.
Harry's POV:
I was waiting for this test to end when a familiar voice greeted us me.
"Yo!, hehehe, thanks for the food." Said Toriko.
"Jeez why are you here again?." Asked Killua who almost died of a heart attack from the sudden outburst.
"Ahh yes, we asked the test administrator if we could join another team because of our uneven number, we were allowed to join a group and you guys seems perfect, let's all do our best." Toriko said to me.
"Umm, why are you talking to me?, I was supposed to be the leader with the red heads, aren't you supposed to ask the white haired teen?." I said that, why indeed has everyone been looking at me for guidance.
"Geh, your not dragging me in this train out of nowhere, you may have not noticed it, but I'm not a leader material, plus you have been leading us already and insured the success of our chances, by giving us trinkets. And finally, you outrank us, so no getting away from this one." Said Killua.
"Great, nice to work with you leader." Said Toriko smiling.
"Gehh, great, as leader, I name Killua second in command, in case we are seperated he will take charge.
"Hai." was the unanimous response.
"That's it everyone, the test is over, you will be all assigned an android Bee for each group, follow its instructions and good luck." Said Lero-lo.
We were lead to a buiding and waited our turn, the test takes ten minutes, but those group that seems to take too long after five minutes took an untimely demise in the form of screams, so said the balloon creature spreading hints and boosting his ego and intellect. It was finally our turn, we we're led in a dark building whose lights seems to highlight all the different doors. And at the center of the room was a blond person.
"Welcome Regulars, I am Yu Han-Sung, I am the administrator of this test, this is actually Evankhell's-nim floor, but I am the Director of all the tests here, the steps of this tests are quite simple, you see the doors behind me?, you have ten minutes, out of all the doors here, find the true door, there will be no more clues." Said the blond Administrator.
http%3a%2f%2fimg4.wikia.nocookie.net%2f__cb20111...ansung.jpg [http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111210215528/towerofgod/images/thumb/a/a1/Yuhansung.jpg/640px-Yuhansung.jpg]
My group suddenly looked at me for guidance.
"Jeez, peer pressure much?, actually the solution is actually pretty simple." I explained.
"Oh?, do tell?." the director said amused.
"Fred, George, point-me-spell please." I said to them and their eyes widened.
"Point me, to the most closest door to pass this test." Said Fred and George whose wands pointed at the nearest door.
"There we have it, Gon, Killua, open the door please." I said to them and complied.
"You pass, that is the most unusual method I have ever witnessed thus far, any explanation?." The administrator asked curiously.
Fred was about to answer, but I shushed him.
"Sorry about him, he was probably going to say magic, but that's really vauge, an example would be a dowsing rod used to find water, but this time, we used a stick and channelled a small inner energy with the intent to where the wielder wanted to go replicating the effects of the dowsing rod effect." I explained to him in a believable phenomenon.
"Ahh, that explains it, I have seen shinsoo being used that way as well, ahh that explains how sempai always did find me whenever I hid, this can be used with the same principles. I thank you for the interesting explanation." Yu Han-sung said as he bowed to me and I bowed in exchange.
The next test awaits.
