My morning is the same as every other. I wake up, Stretch, Exercise, Shower. Nothing else is done besides clearing the tower. I wonder why my life is so boring even inside the tower. It was the same back on Earth. Wake up, Work, Shower, Bed.
I need to find purpose in my life. What can I do if I have no meaning. Should I train newbies that come from the tutorial? That would be a waste of my talents though. I know what I'm going to do.
"Call Administrator."
A being that looks as divine as an angle appeared before me. Dressed in clad white. A halo above his head. Perfect blonde hair. He even floated above the ground like a god.
"Hello player, it seems you have called me."
"I have a request for a new feature on the window page."
"Are you sure you have the power to even request such a thing? Someone as weak and feeble as you? I will consider it because you are the #1 in your dimension."
"Thank you, I wanted to request a page were you could give advice, and recruit players. As well as being able to chat and share knowledge."
"Do you really think the Tower wouldn't think of such things already? Why do I expect things from Floor 9 weaklings. It is already a feature. You dimension has not unlocked it. To unlock the feature you must clear Floor 10. That is all"
After his sentence a portal appeared. The portal felt like it lead to heaven. The aura emitting from the portal was soft and welcoming. The opposite of the Admin I just met.
I did get some information from him. I'm the strongest in the Earth Dimension. What does he mean by Earth Dimension? Does the tower exist in other galaxies or Dimension. I guess climbing the tower would answer it.
「Admin Announcement
By clearing Floor 10 more features of the tower will be unlocked for everyone in the server. The person who clears Floor 10 will obtain a reward for helping the server progress.」
Did I really just spend 1,000G just so he could tell everyone. I demand I get my money back.
I'm not going to clear the 10th Floor immediately. Of course, I need better skills to combine. I already have some on my mind that would give me an OP skill.
"Combine Skill 'Battlefield Perception' and 'Parallel Processing'"
「New Skill
Future Sight: The ability to foresee events or outcomes before they occur, granting insight into opponents’ moves and battle strategies before they happen.」
Perfect. This is exactly how I planned it to go out. I'm ready for the 10th floor now. As I walk to the tower I see the occasional robbery taking place. It won't matter when I clear the 10th Floor anyways.
「Choose Floor
...
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Floor 8
Floor 9
Floor 10」
“Floor 10”
I get teleported to a dark muddy cave. It's enclosed. No Entrance nor Exit. I assume it's a Floor just like the 2nd.
「Floor 10
Objective: Defeat the Shadow Doppelganger」
Seeing the Shadow figure get created from the shadows was quite the scare. I should of went in the skill shop and got something nice.
The shadow doppelganger wasted no time in trying to spread blood. He rushed at me preparing his blade. I get into my stance preparing to slash. I swing my blade down predicting what he is going to do.
He dodges flawlessly, even better than I. Swinging again in desperation I miss, loosing my balance.
I get hit; hard. Regeneration would still take 30 seconds at the very least. I dash backwards creating distance. It doesn't matter as he clears it before I even stop.
"Future Sight"
When the skill activated, my mind took a toll. I could see two doppelgangers one ahead of the other. I slash my sword to the first one, but it parries the second.
Is this what future sight is?
The Doppelganger not prepared for the parry gets knocked back. My wound is healed and I waste no time. I rush after him, when I range I use it.
"Vampiric Grasp!"
My wound gets better almost instantly. My fatigue is diminishing. I get prepared to kill the Doppelganger. It disappears. My senses go crazy trying to find him. The scent of the blood on me takes over the scent of him. My eyes can't lock onto where he is.
My eyes feel like their getting stabbed. My mind is throbbing.
"CANCEL SKILL!"
I scream in pain. Regeneration is working but not hard enough. Hearing the water splash from behind saved me. I immediately jump forward and turn around.
The eyes of the Doppelganger were something special. The eyes bring me closer to him. Drowning me in its gaze. Realizing what the eyes are doing I close mine.
Remembering what Mana does I try to spread it throughout my body. I couldn't focus enough to even attempt to try. I have to focus on the battle in front of me.
"Heat Sensing"
His body gives off no heat. My skills are useless. Immediately feeling the regret of not preparing. With the Doppelganger in front of me ready to attack, I had to get ready.
In my stance I'm ready. Wasting time would take me out first. I rush him in desperation. Feinting my attack to catch him off guard.
I slash and slash hard. I see his black blood return to the shadows. I keep attacking to keep the advantage mine. He throws blood at me and misses my eyes. I can see his head turn upside down as I cut it off.
Seeing his lifeless body on the ground hurt more than any human I've killed. As if a fragment of myself was lost.
「Floor 10 Clear

Getting back and hearing all the scream and cheers of people was annoying. Every was happy of the new features gained from the 10th Floor.
