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

When James opened his eyes again he noticed the sunlight coming in through the window in the room, he saw that there was no snowfall today and he tried to move, hoping that things would be easier.

When he tried to move, not only did he fail to do so by even a centimetre, but he also noticed the enormous pain in his body and especially in his heart.

James had no way of describing the pain in his body. Even when Noah had trained him in poison, or when he had fought the Fallen God to the point of death on the ice mountain, he had never experienced such immense pain.

He could feel everything from his toes to the hair on his head, but this time it wasn't excitement, adrenaline or fear, but pure pain.

"Argh..."

With a small whimper, he stared at the message window that opened in front of him:

[How are you feeling my not-so-smart husband?]

When James looked at this message from Nemesis, he smiled and then said, "I'm just a little sore." At that moment, the door of the room he was in opened and Ariel entered.

When Ariel saw that James was awake, she said, "You had us quite worried." and then pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Can you tell me what happened?" James suddenly asked, not in a humorous mood.

Ariel giggled at the question, and after a few seconds of waiting, she spoke, making James look like an idiot:

"I didn't know that many monsters or races recognise you as their master when you name them, so when you named the pixies, you bound the pixie queen Sophia to you, just like Elise, your succubus servant, was bound to you."

When James heard these words, he made a face as if he didn't understand anything, and then he said, "What?" in surprise. He refused to believe that he had fainted just because he had named her.

"You named a being as pure as a pixie queen, literally as pure and perfect as the Archangels. Do you know how many days you have been asleep?"

At the end of Ariel's words, James replied, "I don't know," and Ariel replied back, "60 days, exactly 60 days you've been in this bed."

James couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this number.

"If we add the previous 20 days, we've already quadrupled the floors that we meant to move? That means we only have 60 days left..." James said and Ariel's angry expression appeared when she heard these words.

"Everyone was so worried, not even Nemesis or Lady Nyx herself could come here unless this floor belonged to us.

Even Ra, who is considered as a creator, can't get in here, so you were dying James, you were dying as usual, you lived with a tiny fraction, if you didn't have both magic and aura in your body, you would have died." Ariel suddenly said, frowning, clenching her teeth and expressing her anger with her worried pupils.

James was silent for a few seconds when he heard those words, and then he began to say things that would silence the gods watching, let alone Ariel, and make them agree with him:

"We often try to map everything out, setting everything up, how we know to do things. But the tower, it traps us and it does it all the time. Different traps always, different dead ends. In our world Ariel, we might have the chance to restard, leave the city and try to do things but in the tower...no---nothing changes."

With James' words, Ariel's anger began to fade, but her anxiety began to rise even more.

"Only when I started walking towards what felt the only right for me without trying to rationalise everything, I found the exist. In this tower, it always worked like this for me. So from time to time, I am not thinking, especially if we are in a safe place. I find my exit just like this from almost every danger."

"But what you're doing is dangerous...I understand, I really do, after all, the things we're fighting, the scenarios we're escaping or surviving...some of them are quite dangerous even for the people inside the tower, I really do get it.

You're not the only one though, we've talked about this before." Ariel was able to understand what James was saying, like most gods, though like most gods, Ariel herself knew that it wasn't always the best option.

"Sometimes everything you do know means nothing in the face of a new problem. But you should just keep moving towards what feels right. Pretty much, think hard but do not think hard at the same time, do you get me?"

Ariel was about to respond to these words when James' voice was heard again:

"After all, as long as you move to what's right for you, the exit will be clear ey?"

As James said these words, Ariel stood up and then pulled a bottle out of her inventory and gently gave James a drink.

James wanted to vomit as soon as the disgusting taste touched his tongue, but he restrained himself, and after he had somehow drunk the liquid in his mouth, he asked "What was that?" and received the answer "Medicine."

"You need to rest now. For 55 days your body was in deep sleep and pain because every drop of mana in your body went to Sophia, you spent 5 days recovering your magic rings, and now you drank this medicine to recover your mana faster. You'll be as good as new in a day or two."

After Ariel's words, James indicated that he understood by closing his eyes, but a completely different question appeared in his mind:

"What about the mines? The construction of the walls must have slowed down while I slept. You can't go and protect the mines when you're protecting the village."

When James asked this question, Ariel smiled and gave the most ridiculous answer she could give to James' ears:
