15 – Time of Awakening

Khajidum Imperial Palace ‘Black Spirit Palace’.

2nd Princess Ekinne closed her eyes and was breathing in the private training hall prepared in the basement of her palace.

Lately, she’s spent most of her spare time almost confined to her private underground training center.

The cause was an incident in the corridor of the imperial castle not too long ago.

That humiliating figure that held him still when he ran into Regid.

‘You dare me… .’

A truly noble person like himself should never be pushed aside by an older brother who is of unknown origin.

It was absolutely unacceptable in her values.

‘That guy jumped over the psionic wall once?’

Rumors in the imperial palace were faster than feet.

The incident of a collision with the crown princess at Regid’s detached palace spread throughout the imperial palace in less than an hour.

Rumors hard to believe that the crown prince’s escort knight was easily subdued, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Along with that, the news that Regid broke through the psionic wall that had been blocking him and raised his level once was spreading widely.

The news made Echinne even more impatient.

‘Also! It must have been because of that that I was helpless at that time!’

The author called her brother had been meanly hiding his power.

As soon as Ekinne heard the news, she threw away her meal midway through and hurriedly retreated to the training ground.

‘It’s ridiculous that I’m behind him!’

Tok… Tok… .

Sweat ran down her chin and dripped onto the floor.

‘If I can get over this wall… !’

how much time had passed

The psionic energy that enveloped Echinne condensed inside her body for an instant, then burst out explosively as if repelling it.

Woo woo woo-!

Suddenly, a strong wind rose and swept through the interior of the underground training hall.

Echinne opened her eyes and gave a satisfied smile.

“Whoops, finally… !”

Her gaze turned to one wall of the training room.

The walls were packed with hundreds or thousands of scars, as if a huge beast had clawed them.

Equinne raised a finger.

At that moment, a golden psionic blade appeared in the air in front of the wall and cut the wall roughly.

Each Kaga—!

The process continued until the number of psionic blades increased to 10.

For a while, harsh cutting and bursting sounds continued to resonate in the underground training ground.

Finally, Ekinne also succeeded in jumping over the wall that was blocking her.

‘At this rate, I’ll be able to repay the shame I felt at that time many times over.’

An incident where I was trapped in the psychic power of that irritating guy and couldn’t move in my arms.

Could it be because of the heat rising from the humiliation and anger at that time? Equinne’s cheeks turned faintly red.

“… Chit.”

Ekinne clicked her tongue once for no reason and went into the shower room on one side of the training hall.

bruises.

I move and stand in front of the large mirror hanging on the wall.

Seruk. Squeak.

I took off my sweaty training clothes and put them in the laundry basket.

“… … .”

The developing body, which had just become an adult and was transforming into a mature woman, was reflected through the mirror.

A body that draws beautiful curves without any flab, and the skin that is as smooth as porcelain and white is moist and red hot from the sweat shed just a moment ago.

‘I knew it. It’s a beautiful body befitting a noble lineage.’

Excluding the overconfidence characteristic of Equinne, it was a good enough body to look at objectively.

A single drop of sweat, which had formed between her breastbones, slid across her smooth skin and ran down her navel.

Round and round.

As if dancing in front of a mirror, Ekinne smiled pleasantly as she reflected her body.

‘I don’t know who he will be in the future, but the man who will be with this body is blessed?’

Let’s have a crazy imagination for a moment.

Echinne giggled for a while, holding her hand to her mouth, probably because of the shyness typical of a virgin.

After a while, I stepped out of the mirror and reached for the shower.

It was then.

I felt a burning heat in my left chest.

“Kyaaah! What, what?!”

Hastily lowered his gaze. A faint red diamond-shaped pattern appeared on the upper left breast.

A word passed through her mind.

‘The proof of the Sky Tower!’

* * *

I entered the sky tower management facility under the guidance of the guild leader.

‘There are a total of four gates to enter the Sky Tower: East, West, South, and North.’

Management facilities are built around the lower part of the sky tower where the entrance is located.

Think of it like building a fence, layer by layer.

Inside the building, there is a management guild, various shops, and an exchange.

The middle-aged guild leader rubbed his hands together and guided me through the facility.

“Come on, Prince! This is an agency that trades various materials obtained from the Sky Tower!”

“This floor is home to private companies dealing with various equipment and consumables!”

“Here handles all sorts of office work, including issuance of permits to enter the sky tower!”

I haven’t been able to look around yet, but I can easily guess that the size of the economy that relies on the sky tower is quite high.

‘If this enormous economic scale were to stop in just one moment… .’

It was a nightmare, but it was a future that could come sooner or later, perhaps even now.

‘I know that, but I can’t warn you.’

If you shout out and warn the world, you will be treated like a madman and your room for maneuver will only be limited.

Even if time flies and my words prove true, that is a problem as it is.

At that time, the fact that I knew the future itself would tighten my neck from a different direction.

Even in the midst of that, the guild leader continued to guide them.

“Prince! This is the North Gate Plaza to access the Sky Tower!”

The guild leader gestured with exaggerated gestures and guided them into the huge space.

The area was large enough to fit a whole large gym, and the dead end inside was blocked by a pure white wall—the outer wall of the Sky Tower.

In the middle of the wall, there was a huge square door that could have been 5 meters in width and height.

Inside, a blue warp portal shimmered and shimmered like a wave.

The guild leader pointed to it and said.

“Through that gate, adventurers will come and go to each floor!”

This was the gate in the north of the north, south, east and west.

Even while the guild leader’s explanation continued, adventurers were constantly coming in and out through the gate.

It was then.

Giing… .

Suddenly, a strange tremor spread around the sky tower.

“… ?”

“What did you just do?”

One by one, people began to look up at the empty space in front of them.

I also looked up into the air and gently stroked my chin.

‘indeed. The correct date was today.’

The message of the Sky Tower floated before people’s eyes.

[Notice]

[The grace period of the last 2000 years has ended.]

[The transition to the main phase of the Sky Tower begins at this time.]

The people in the square looked at each other with bewildered faces.

“Bar, what was that?!”

“Did you see it too??”

“This hallucination… isn’t it?”

Centered around the 13 sky towers across the continent, everyone in the vicinity of the area will now be seeing the same message.

[We are preparing for reopening with the renewal of the Sky Tower.]

[As of this time, all unauthorized players are requested to leave immediately.]

People began to appear in the plaza in front of the gate, moving with the light.

“… ?!”

“What, what!”

“I’m sure you were in the 17th floor forest until just now?!”

“North Gate Plaza? what the hell is this… !”

“hey! What is all this about! What is the message right in front of my eyes!!”

Someone is in the same posture as the one who wielded the sword.

Someone in the same state as memorizing a magic spell.

Another party had been transferred entirely along with the tent as if it were in the midst of camping.

The exit of the adventurers inside the Sky Tower continued.

After a while, the square here was filled with people without a gap to step on.

‘The situation will be similar for the other three gates.’

The panicked cries of the people echoed through the square.

“hey! Someone went to the management guild and see!”

“What the hell is all this!”

“Aagh! Just one shot! If it was just one shot, it would have been the last boss hit—!!”

Feria, the escort knight, grabbed my arm with an urgent face.

“Prince! It’s an emergency! Evacuate to the Panic Room in the Guild! I will guide you—!”

“Calm down.”

I pinned Feria to the ground with telekinesis.

She rolled her eyes and looked up at me with a bewildered face.

“Ah, Prince?!”

“I’ll look at the situation first and make a move.”

“Ha, but… !”

With telekinesis, he blocked her noisy mouth and forced it to close.

“Eup! Eup-eup–!”

“I will apologize later.”

Meanwhile, a new confusion erupted from the entrance to the gate inside the plaza.

“uh?! Can’t get in?”

“Neither can I!!”

“Damn it! What is this! I can’t go back into the tower!!”

“The sky tower is just… got it… ?”

[Temporary players are prohibited from entering the sky tower until the regular player with the badge clears each layer.]

[Currently, the clear conditions for the 1st floor have not been achieved.]

[Only regular players are allowed to enter Sky Tower 1st floor.]

“What else is a regular player? What is temporary?”

“Zu, proof?”

“Come to think of it, the proof of the Sky Tower! There was a proof! hey! Does anyone have a proof of who or what!”

“Could it be that they have to clear the 1st floor so ordinary people like us can enter inside?!”

I sighed a little watching the scene.

‘Is it starting… .’

Soon chaos will overtake the entire continent.

Suddenly, with a strange trembling, I felt burning heat in the middle of my right hand.

When I raised my hand and examined it, there was a lozenge-shaped red pattern engraved in the middle of my palm.

At the same time as I put the pattern in my eyes, the feelings that had been suppressed in the previous episode revived and began to emerge.

remorse and pain.

sadness and anger.

arrogance and madness.

And… … .

A delicate ray of hope that blooms in the midst of such crumpled emotions.

‘Finally… .’

My journey back in time was about to begin again.
