FLOOR 100 UNLOCKED
BOSS FLOOR
Jin entered the 100th floor.
A majestic chamber awaited him.
A Dream Demon sat on a throne-like structure.
"Welcome, Jin," the Dream Demon said.
"I am the Architect of Towers."
Jin approached the Dream Demon.
"You're the creator of this tower?" Jin asked.
"Yes," the Dream Demon replied.
"I test warriors like you."
Jin's curiosity piqued.
"Why?" Jin asked.
"To find worthy successors," the Dream Demon said.
"To inherit my power."
Jin's eyes widened.
"What power?" Jin asked.
"Choose one of three skills," the Dream Demon said.
"Each will grant you unimaginable power."
The Dream Demon presented three options.
[Skill Options]
1. Reality Distortion: Manipulate reality itself.
2. Tower Creation: Build and control towers.
3. Dream Weaving: Control the fabric of dreams.
Jin pondered.
"Which one should I choose?" Jin thought.
The Dream Demon offered insight.
"Reality Distortion allows you to bend the laws of physics."
"Tower Creation lets you build and control towers like mine."
"Dream Weaving grants control over the dreams of others."
Jin weighed his options.
"Which one aligns with your goals?" the Dream Demon asked.
Jin decided.
"I choose... Reality Distortion," Jin said.
The Dream Demon smiled.
"Excellent choice."

Jin departed the tower.

TOWER CONQUERED
REWARD: LEGENDARY FRAGMENT X100
Jin emerged into the world.
His newfound power awaited.
The Dream Demon chuckled to himself.
"Naive human," he whispered.
"He didn't even ask what lies within the other towers."
The Dream Demon's smile grew.
"In three days, the other Dream Demons will unleash the beasts."
"The world will burn, and a new era will dawn."
The Dream Demon's laughter echoed through the chamber.
"Ahahahaha! The human thinks he's victorious."
"But he has no idea what's coming."
Meanwhile, outside the tower...
Jin returned to Lyra, his expression solemn.
"Lyra, I've returned," Jin said.
Lyra's eyes widened.
"Jin! You've been gone for two months."
"What happened in the tower?" Lyra asked.
Jin's expression turned grave.
"I reached the 100th floor," Jin said.
"I met the Dream Demon."
Lyra's curiosity piqued.
"What did he say?" Lyra asked.
"He gave me a choice," Jin replied.
"Three skills: Reality Distortion, Tower Creation, or Dream Weaving."
Lyra's eyes widened.
"Which one did you choose?" Lyra asked.
"Reality Distortion," Jin said.
Lyra nodded.
"That's powerful."
"But what about the Dream Demon?" Lyra asked.
Jin's expression turned concerned.
"I don't know," Jin said.
"He seemed...amused."
Lyra's brow furrowed.
"Amused?" Lyra repeated.
Jin nodded.
"As if he knew something I didn't."
Lyra's expression turned serious.
"We need to investigate the other towers."
"Find out what's inside."
Jin nodded.
"I agree."
But unbeknownst to Jin and Lyra...
The Dream Demon's laughter still echoed through the chamber.
"Ahahahaha! The world will soon burn."
In three days, the beasts would be unleashed.
The fate of the world hung in the balance.
Jin decided to master Reality Distortion.
"I must understand its true potential," Jin thought.
Jin sought Lyra's guidance.
"Lyra, I need your help," Jin said.
"Teach me how to control Reality Distortion."
Lyra nodded.
"Reality Distortion manipulates the fabric of reality."
"It's unpredictable, but incredibly powerful."
Lyra began explaining the skill's intricacies.
"Reality Distortion has three stages."
"Stage one: Local Distortion."
"You can manipulate objects within a small radius."
"Stage two: Spatial Distortion."
"You can teleport short distances."
"Stage three: Temporal Distortion."
"You can manipulate time itself."
Jin's eyes widened.
"That's incredible."
Lyra cautioned.
"But beware, Jin."
"Reality Distortion's power comes at a cost."
"Each use drains your life force."
Jin nodded.
"I understand."
Lyra handed Jin a small, intricately carved stone.
"This is a Reality Anchor."
"It will help you focus your power."
Jin took the stone.
"Let's begin training," Jin said.
For hours, Jin practiced Reality Distortion.
He mastered Local Distortion.
Then, Spatial Distortion.
But Temporal Distortion proved elusive.
"I'm struggling," Jin admitted.
Lyra offered advice.
"Temporal Distortion requires perfect focus."
"Visualize the timeline."
"See the threads of time."
Jin concentrated.
Suddenly, visions flooded his mind.
He saw the past, present, and future.
"Ah!" Jin exclaimed.
"I see it!"
Temporal Distortion's power coursed through Jin.

REALITY DISTORTION MASTERED
TEMPORAL DISTORTION UNLOCKED
Jin's eyes gleamed.
"I've done it."
Lyra smiled.
"You're a true master."
But their celebration was short-lived.
A sudden, ominous energy emanated from the towers.
"The Dream Demons' deadline approaches," Lyra said.
"In two days, the beasts will be unleashed."
Jin's expression turned grim.
"We must prepare."
Jin and Lyra decided to investigate the towers' connections.
"We need to understand the Dream Demons' plan," Jin said.
Lyra nodded.
"Let's start with the nearby towers."
They approached the closest tower.
"Feel the energy emanating from it," Lyra said.
"It's similar to the tower you conquered."
Jin concentrated.
"I sense a network," Jin said.
"A web of energy connecting the towers."
Lyra's eyes widened.
"That's the key."
"To understanding the Dream Demons' plan."
They explored the surrounding towers.
Each revealed a piece of the puzzle.
"The towers are nodes," Jin explained.
"Connected by an energy grid."
Lyra's expression turned grave.
"This is bigger than we thought."
"The Dream Demons are using the towers."
"To harness and amplify their power."
Jin's determination grew.
"We must disable the grid."
Lyra nodded.
"But how?" Lyra asked.
Jin thought.
"We need to find the central node."
"The source of the energy grid."
Lyra's eyes sparkled.
"I think I know where it is."
"Follow me."
They navigated through the towers.
Avoiding detection by the Dream Demons' minions.
Until they reached the central node.
A massive, glowing crystal.
"This is it," Jin said.
"The heart of the energy grid."
Lyra's expression turned serious.
"Destroying this crystal."
"Will cripple the Dream Demons' plan."
Jin steeled himself.
"I'll do it."
But as Jin approached the crystal.
A voice echoed through the chamber.
"You shouldn't have come here."
Jin and Lyra turned.
A Dream Demon stood before them.
"Xarath, the Dream Demon of Illusions."
Xarath sneered.
"You think you can stop us?"
Jin stood firm.
"We won't let you unleash the beasts."
Xarath chuckled.
"You're no match for our power."
"We've manipulated the towers."
"To ensure your failure."
Jin's resolve grew.
"We'll find a way."
Xarath shrugged.
"Try."
Jin gazed at Lyra.
"Lyra, fall back," Jin said.
"This fight is mine."
Lyra hesitated.
"But Jin—"
"Trust me," Jin reassured.
Lyra retreated, concern etched on her face.
Jin focused on Xarath.
"Come Forth!" Jin shouted.
His shadow erupted, summoning undead minions.

Xarath sneered.
"Pitiful undead."

Illusions swirled around Jin's minions.
"Your minions are no match for my illusions."

They attacked each other.

But Xarath countered with his illusions.
Temporal loops entrapped Jin.

Helpless.

"But useless."
The battle raged on.
