Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

[Kutlu's Dungeon

Congratulations on clearing the dungeon.

Dungeon Prize: Kutlu herself Kutlu's Art of Death]

[Viewing unlocked!]

As James was thrown out of the dungeon, he saw these system notifications in front of him and smiled, realising that he had indeed managed to leave this dungeon without dying.

[JAMES!!!]

[ARE YOU OK?]

[WHAT'S WITH THE LOOK?]

[WHAT HAPPENED?]

James, whose smile grew even wider as message windows opened in front of him one after the other, thought it would be good to reply to the last person who had sent a message:

"It was a pretty tough dungeon old Zeus, I got out alive after all, stop worrying."

After James' words, the messages did not slow down or diminish. Hundreds of message notifications opened up in front of him, and James was once again able to realise just how big a family he had.

The gods, with whom he had only a small conversation, seemed to have sent him a message.

[Are you sure you're all right?]

After a few seconds of breathing James finally saw the message from Nemesis and his eyes filled with tears, it seemed too much for him to have come back from the dead a few dozen minutes ago and to have experienced so much in just one day.

He was lucky. Without the Mind Palace ability, his mind would have collapsed, and his brain would have exploded to death because of Ruby's voice. Even if Ruby hadn't spoken, all this action would still have been too much for him.

Either way, he had dodged a bullet.

"You don't even know what I'd give to hug you right now Nemesis, I almost died, twice," James said suddenly, unable to contain his emotions.

After that, he closed the message windows and began to walk through the snow, which was now halfway up to his height.

[Are you sure you're all right? You look like you've changed quite a bit in a day].

James shook his head as he read this message from Nyx and said, "I don't quite understand what you're trying to say, my lady."

[Open your profile and then click on appearance in the settings section].

James had opened his profile when he saw this message and poked around for a while, it was very, very strange that after almost two years he had never noticed anything like this.

After a short while, when he found the area Nyx had told him about and opened it, he looked at the screen in front of him with great surprise.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!!!?!?!"

She couldn't help but scream at the sight in front of her.

James could see his body properly. His face was the same as always, he hadn't lost any of his handsomeness, but his hair colour seemed to have changed.

James's hair had taken on a dark blue hue, the ends still had a slight bright green tint to it, but somehow the colour had changed.

"My lady, can you stop the others from watching me please?" James suddenly asked and with that, he waited.

After almost five minutes the message [I've done it] appeared in front of him and James summoned Vladimir's spirit out.

"Why did this happen, sir?" James suddenly muttered.

"The blood element is special. You ate my essence and got the energy of whichever side you were closer to. As I told you, we Sun Vampires draw energy from both the sun and the moon. Let's say you are closer to the energy of the moon." Vladimir replied.

James shook his head at these words and then continued to complain, "That just does not make any sense?!"

Vladimir smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do, Sun Vampires work like that. That's why the hair colour changed, normally there would be a mark on the body. Maybe a moon mark or a sun mark, but your hair colour has changed. Something different happens in every Sun Vampire. The change that was bestowed upon me was the engraving of a red sun right on my back."

James didn't know what to say, it was quite annoying that he had just escaped death and now he had changed.

"I'm going mad." James said and with that, he looked back at the message window and said "I met a man called Vladimir, my lady, let's just say he helped me, hence the change in my hair colour."

When Vladimir heard those words he looked at James and wondered if he realised what he had just done.

When James saw that none of the messages had been returned, he assumed that they didn't remember Vladimir's betrayal. James knew exactly what he had said, and since he saw no reason to hide Vladimir, whom they would eventually see anyway, he had explained everything.

Still, he had not the slightest idea how much of a mess was done in the Hall of Olympos.

"DAMN IT!" shouted Hyperion. The entire hall was engulfed in flames, Hyperion's anger was so enormous that there was no way to even describe it.

"I don't get it, why would James keep someone who had smashed Desmond's mind to smithereens?" Phoebe muttered, not angry but still frustrated.

"Should we tell James? Maybe he's been tricked, you don't think that's a possibility," Moros had said, deriving the question after learning a little about the subject. It was strange that all the Titans and Nyx and Erebus had never even considered such a thing.

"You're right, we have to ask, we have to get that soul here, we can't let it die so easily," Erebus said, and with that, eyes turned to Nyx.

Nyx had a feeling that James already knew, after all, he and Gaia, who had been sitting quietly, seemed to have realised everything already.

-----

[James, do you know what kind of person Vladimir is? Are you sure he's not tricking you?]

James finally realised that he had received a message from Nyx and then fixed his expression and said, "I'm aware of everything."

Every single person in the hall of Olympus couldn't understand how James could accept such a thing. Time seemed to stand still for each of them, and it was then that they heard James' voice:

"The only reason Desmond stuck him here was because he had already forgiven Vladimir. The only person who hadn't forgiven him was Vladimir himself. After a long conversation, he killed himself so that I could survive and leave the dungeon. Now he is here to help me, I am holding his soul."

These words seemed to confuse everyone.

"My family heirloom can only contain the souls of family members, so you all know what it means that Vladimir's soul is here. Desmond saw him as his family member. Just like him, I need to find Juliet too." James said, addressing the only mother of the great night for the first time without using the suffix of respect.

[I see...Everyone was worried, we thought you'd been tricked. Still, are you sure?] Nyx sent a message, beginning to think that she was making James disgruntled.

"Some things can be forgiven, m'lady, when the person who did it to you is willing to forgive them. I wasn't in the war, nor do I care about the war itself, m'lady. I'm not Desmond or any of his friends. I'm one of his descendants and I have my ideas. I don't care about the past or the complexities of the past. The only thing that matters to me is whether I can protect what I have in the present. Which means my only love Nemesis, my dear daughter Miracle, you and Ariel as my mother figures, whole titans and Chaos-Borns and many more." James suddenly said.

With these words, James clearly stated that he had his plans.

"I know that you have been through bad things and I feel sorry for you, but while you are sitting on your 150th floor, please don't think nonsense because not a single one of you, and that includes you m'lady, did anything to protect the children in the tower or any other people who suffered for a really long time. Almost every one of you is sitting on that floor. Is that your fault? Not really, after all, you can't just go down below the 75th floor."

"But what about Asgard? What about Olympus? Aren't those people basically looking up to you all and wishing you all to command them? What about the Chaos-Borns in the tower, or the Titans themselves? What have you done that you can decide who I can and cannot forgive? Do you think I cannot see your thoughts? Can't I feel your anger?"

James shut his mouth after all these words and just waited, he had probably made everyone angry, that was quite possible, but there was no need to silence himself.

He knew that he was an individual and would not be controlled, he also knew that he would do his best to fight back in such a situation.

It might come from Nyx, whom he respected greatly, or it might come from Chronos, whom he now considered her master, but one way or another, there was something that each Titan, Nyx and Erebus needed to understand:

"Remember, my lady, and anyone else who will listen. I am not Desmond and I have no intention of making the stupid mistakes he made and to be real Vladimir is here for me to stop when that time comes. Desmond was a precious maniac trying to make humans the superior race, but I am a maniac trying to make all races equal. We are not the same," James added and then started walking again.

The people in the Olympus hall fell silent as if this was a reminder to each of them that what they knew was no longer enough.
