---Bramhalok----
One of the upper realms where the Chaturnana Brahma, one of the seven heavenly absolutes resides. currently, the situation and mood around the place was sour, it was due to the shocking news of the annihilation of their base on the first floor, The first floor is the place where the guild will actively recruit the new arrivals in the tower, it can be said to be the main recruiting place of the major guilds would be present in 1st floor, and since a random nobody who just entered the tower destroyed their base singlehandedly, it was a huge blow to their dignity,
Many powerful figures were gathered there for the discussion of the matter, of course, that was not the only matter, currently, the beginning of the colosseum was also a hot topic in the tower due to the reward mentioned, all guilds were sending their elites new members to participate,
A group of people were sitting around a huge table with a woman, whose beauty seemed to shame the top models, was sitting at the head of the table as numerous debates were ongoing,
suddenly, a man smashed his hands on the table as he stood up,
"This will not do, it has already been a day since the news arrived but we are still here discussing about this trivial matter, let's go and kill that pest who dared to create trouble for us"
"I know you are angry, but keep calm! We will teach him a lesson, but there are far more pressing issues at hand right now", said a man who looked like a mage from his attire.
"What?! what do you think people would talk about us if we still don't do anything?" said another man.
"He is right! Let's send a ranker, we have to let the people know what the consequence will be if they mess with us"
The woman who was silently listening to the whole thing stood up, as she said,
"Sending a ranker to deal with someone who isn't even cleared the 10th floor will be just a waste not to mention what will the others think if we send a ranker to deal with a mere ant"
Everyone became silent at her words as she continued,
"But that doesn't mean we are going to sit silent, Contact Sanak and tell him to hunt that pest down since he would be on the 10th floor until the colosseum is over, and to be extra careful ask the 'Dark legion' to support him in the shadows"
"Yes, ma'am" Replied a woman beside her,
"This matter is settled now, let's discuss other matters...."
At this Shiva doesn't have a clue, that a storm was brewing towards him.

-----9th floor------
(forbidden zone, One horned orc tribe)
At an area which was not assessable to normal challengers, A group of people were standing around the huge corpse of a one horned orc, A young one who seemed to be in his 20s said to a old man who was standing in sidelines watching them fight the orc,
"Senior, The orders from the higher ups are here, it is instructed to recruit him no matter what"
The old man stood their stroking him beard and seemed to be deep in thought and replied to him after some time,
"hmm.... Where is he currently?"
"According to the recent information, He seems to be heading towards the 8th floor now"
"8th floor already!! How long has it been since he started from the 1st floor, 1 day?!"
"Well, to be more specific 22hr 54min, senior"
"Heavens! a harbinger is coming huh!? Ok then lets go"
"Senior, shall we move to the 8th floor?"
"No, It will be too late till then, lets wait here on the 9th floor, He will be here shortly, and if he isn't then just forget it, he isn't worthy to join us"
"As you wish"
The young man and the old man disappeared after their conversation leaving behind the huge corpse.

[Orb of detection:- (Rare)
An item made by the great alchemist Hermes, It is capable of detecting any living beings around 3km radius.
]
It was a simple item, similar to a detection sonar, it has the ability to scan the surrounding area and pinpoint the location of any living beings around 3km radius, It was quite an useful item but was nothing extraordinary, getting this as a reward for an achievement seemed like a waste. Anyway he can't retort with the tower so he just kept it in one side of his inventory,
"Damn this stingy system, would it hurt if you give me some good rewards"
{You bastard, do you even know the value of that thing?}
Ho!! forgot to mention that the old cot was still with Shiva not like he had any other choice,
"Hey old man, what do you mean by that! Is this thing some secret weapon or what?"
{What secret weapon?? don't always measure the value of the things by its use in combat}
"Soo.... is the thing here useful or not?"
{Why would I tell you that??}
The nerve on his forehead were bulging hearing his cocky answer,
'This damn old cot...'
{What? you angry? come here! release me once and I will show you who is the boss}
"What you wanna fight? Then come this daddy will teach you how to behave"
"Master, I suggest you not to, Unlike the weakened body that was present in the 7th floor, His soul is very powerful and considering he is a sage, unless your soul power is higher than him, he will easily take over your body" Kapali intervened saying so in a calm manner,
"What!!This damn old cot, trying to take over my body, dream on"
Shiva started to curse him knowing about his conspiracy,
{Tch!}
"Just you wait old man, I will deal with you later"
He looked behind him, the group of skeletons standing like fools,
"Lets go skellies, On to the next floor!!"
