"Mr. Minister, many people believe that the current measures against the tutorial tower's kidnappings are too lenient. What is your opinion on this matter?"

A reporter asked at minister of supernatural activities.

"

I understand your concern, but unfortunately, it has been observed that the tutorial tower adjusts to its victims, and as a result, the death rate remains unchanged at 50%

In this sense, together with the Ministry of Education, we can currently only provide useful information about this tower. The purpose is to enable those who have unfortunately been kidnapped to take advantage of the tower.

"

This was a fragment of a press conference prompted by the situations arising from a new kidnapping spree.

And among those affected, right now, a boy is in the second-floor safe zone of the tutorial tower, about to test his new skill for the first time.

sitting with a sword in a hand, the boy conjured in his mind as his teacher once said him in a special class.

And like a machine command, the boy felt a strange sensation in his body while, in front of him, from the floor, the earth and rubble rose to form a small goblin.

The boy was worried; the skill description said that this summon could betray him. Because of this, the boy tightened his grip on his sword, preparing for the worst-case scenario.

Fortunately, after a while, he noticed that the goblin was submissive, obeyed all his orders, and was even weaker than himself.

The boy was happy, but still wasn't sure about get out from the safe zone and start really the second floor.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Because of it, the boy tried prepare himself.

In this manner, after a while, he tried exploring the limits of his skill. So, upon reading the skill's description, he noticed that there wasn't any restriction on the amount of invocations that he could maintain at the same time.

So, without lost time, the boy activated the skill again, but the result was horrible.

"Bleehhh"

It was a success; he invoked a second goblin. However, the consequence was brutal: his mind became very heavy and fatigued, all his senses dulled, and he felt dizzy. Bit by bit, everything was getting worse.

So, before of faint, the boy decided undid both invocations, leaving him fatigued in the floor.

After a long while, the boy could reactivate and back to the action.

"This was going to be horrible."

Said the boy with repudiation and reluctance, because during his rest he arrived to conclution that if he want improve and survive he had to try it agains. with his basic knowledge about "hunter" he knew that the skills worked like muscles: if you use it, it gets better.

But well, althought he was decided, he decided try again the next day.

In this meaner, he started to look a way to solve his movement problem.

Exploring by jumping and crawling, he arrived at safe zone's warehouse.

There, he found a lot of weapons of different kinds and sizes, as well as a lot of materials such as wood, fabrics, and tools.

Without stopping to think, the boy started to work.

He first tried making a prosthesis with the weapons and materials from the warehouse, but he failed. He didn't have any artisanal skills to create something elaborate with the poor materials in his hands.

Fortunately, after two day since he arrived he managed to make a simple crutch using a scythe as a base, result in a strange crutch with a blade in its base.

He wasn't happy about the crutch, although it improved his mobility a little. Now his left arm was restricted, but it was still better than nothing.

In that moment, he had the idea to challenge the second floor, but he immediately discarded it, remembering his teacher's warning and considering his poor situation. With fear and caution, he decided to stay on this floor for a few days to train and get used to his situation.

"Yes, soon I will be able to challenge this floor"

Said the boy with determination after to beat a practice dummy with a short lance while keping a good posture with his crutch.

"No, definetely I going to die"

Said the boy after a while, after training with his goblin, who mercilessly defeated him in a practice duel.

This was the boy's routine during the next five days. On one hand, he tried to keep his spirits up, but unfortunately, despite gradually gaining experience and stability, the fact that a weak goblin defeated him shattered his morale.
