Chapter 4 - My Cell mate

A Terrible headache wakes up Alfred, he looks around his environment, unsure of where he is he checks his memories. And flips out. "MY FATHER NOOO" He falls back into the abys.

After some time, he remerges into reality. Slightly less crazy, he curls up. if I came back quicker, If he wasn't sick, If I didn't leave. Regret swarmed his mind.

"Oi there lad, Watcha got ursel f in heerree" a man spoke in broken language. Alfred unwillingly looks at the man. Chubby, Going Bald, and in homeless clothes and is short. He also somehow has alcohol with him

"My Father died in front of me. And i flipped out." Alfred said looking down, as it didn't help.

"AAHHH, I see Yer da brat that didi th untinkable, tryna beat yp a royla gard" The Homeless started snoring. Alfred looked shocked. How could someone be so free, so carefree. He slightly wanted that too. He stared at the man, he got up and check his cell. These walls...

Alfred, started training himself, by the only ways he knew. He started punching his arms, and stopped until they healed and restarted. This went on by months, his Cellmate was quite strange, he said he was a dwarf, and he is only here because he refused wasting his time making a noble man a sword. Which I find ridiculous, as to why refuse a noble when why are so rich, but i got my answer quickly. No Pay.

What I don't get is where he is getting his alcohol from, he spoke about some storage dimension that can hold 50Ong. which was crazy, and it all help alcohol. I wanted that. But i was chained, which stole my Mana.

(Ong = KG)

I was also never told how long I would stay here. what does it matter.

I spoke to Elkruk Merrybasher, which surprised me he had a surname. But wasn't too shocking i guessed, he was a different species. A Dwarf I spoke to him about what their strengths would be. He told me, "I don't know about others, but my strength is My Beard, My Alcohol, My Muscles and most importantly my eyes.

"You have tons of talents it seems, but Elkruk what is your talent?" a very intriguing question. Which i got light chop on the head for. "Never ask what people's talents are my boy." He looked very serious.

"That's okay, im not interested in other people, my talent is dirt" I said cooly.

"HahAHAH, thats my boy. Okay, you really want to know? Its Metal." The Dwarf Said.

Metal huh, thats one of the rare talents isn't it. "my other talents ar-" The Dwarf quickly stopped me.

"Boy, you have other talent? Good Good, but never speak of them." The Dwarf yet again warned me.

So many Do's and don'ts. "Okay Geezer" i laughed, and he joined with me.

BOOOOOM

A Loud explosion echoed though the prison walls.

i became vigilant, same a Dwarf Elkruk. There was nothing we could do, so we waited until it died down. Which it didn't and explosions became more frequent. It went on for days until Silence.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

There was no other prisoner on this level, so i had to speak to Elkruk for his opinion on what happened. He said nothing and looked up, as did I. Then i looked at him? He vanished. Am i going crazy? Am i seeing people now? Why is my life such a misery, eh who cares I will continue to live this dull life.

Alfred got up, about to begin his exercise, yet the metal gate creaked open slowly. It caught my attention almost instantly. I didn't immediately leave, but with a newfound energy i noticed that i can slightly feel mana coursing into my body. i check menu and saw it ticking up

It wasn't slow rather it was going up very quickly. Once it hit 100% i walked outside the prison and towards the stairs leading up. The spiral stairs seemed to go on forever. until natural light was appearing i looked at the source, it was only a slight hole and not an exit. I continued to go up, and up until at the very top i overlooked the entire destroyed town. Shocked, of what could possible do this. The floor seem to be steaming hot. and smoke also formed and raised into the skies.

He was also confused, of how to get out. This was the only way he saw out. He descended the stairs. Back into the jail, and back up the stairs. No way out. He looked at the drop down. It was currently piping hot, and he didn't want to check if it was his mind playing games again. He sat down and waited and pondered of what could cause this. The ground rumbled, i got back up and looked into the distance. A Tower was emerging from the ground. My mouth was left hanging in awe.

I wanted to find out, what possible could be that thing, i looked down and the piping hot floor, seemed to cool down considerable. I got into position and let go, falling down. Once i hit the floor, i crouched quickly, trying to decrease the fall damage, which barely did anything. Luckily i could still walk, but with knee pain. i walked toward the Strange Tower.

Tower Of Gale | Rank (F) Enter: | Yes | NO |

I looked at the Blue screen, what is tower of gale, gale hmmmm, like wind? I pressed yes.

A Strong Suction force appeared and swallowed Alfred.

*

A rocky surface, Alfred thought not opening his eyes. He no longer trusted them, then thought that was stupid and stupidly opened them. He regrets. He was on a very very tall cliff. And on the other side was another tall cliff, but between them was a Very strong wind current that looked like it can take trees with it. Not daring to find out.

Floor: 1 | Quest: Get Across | Reward: Knowledge of choice.

I read the new Screen, knowledge of choice, wasn't that abnormal. No armour but knowledge. Can i ask to become king? But what if it tells me what i already know. What would i ask i thought.

AHH, YES MY Talents Of Course. I haven't thought of them for a long time, i nearly forgot they existed. What would i ask Space, time or gravity. Which sound more powerful.. Gravity it is. Because it's spelt longer 😁.

But the knew question is, how do i get across. Go down? I unwillingly poke my head down the cliff. With wind blowing into my ear.

Not possible. Suddenly i get a terrible idea. The wind blows From right to left. I look Left, it just goes on forever. But the wind blows from bottom right to top lift, if you know what i mean..

Alfred braces his current stupidest idea and runs, as fast as he could, and once at the edge he jumps for dear life, he drops down but after a while he slowly goes up.

Alfred Can see land now, he does some awkward movement to get across, which barely moves him in the right direction. but he continues. He keeps rising higher and higher, and then falls down on land from a height he could tell you.

Walking and any leg movement would hurt Alfred a lot, he guessed it is broken. But he didn't care he started crawling, in the distance he saw a black silhouette.

He touched it.

Congratulations, on completing Floor 1 | Claim your reward by speaking to Sikel.

Alfred wondered who was Sikel, this Dark Metal Structure thingy. "Knowledge on Gravity" Alfred shouted. Words danced out of the structure and into Alfred's brain. He suddenly realised what he is missing out on.
