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

Chronos paused after his questions, he was angry with Chaos, after all, Chaos was loved for giving free consciousness to his creations, and now that he knew that he had erased everyone's memories, or rather structured them, he was maddeningly angry, he could not make sense of what was happening.

"WON'T YOU ANSWER OH CHAOS?!" Chronos suddenly shouted into the void of space, but there was no answer coming his way, Chaos seemed to be exercising his right to remain silent.

Chronos didn't even know what he was supposed to say, he had managed to learn James' identity almost exactly, but he had no idea if he was supposed to tell Nyx and the others.

"He had become one of the closest in power to me, the creator, a friend that I can look up to. Even when he lived on the lower floors of the tower, he had more power than my daughter Nyx on the highest floor. He was like a monster, living in nightmares, but even to him something bad happened.'"

Chronos was surprised when Chaos suddenly uttered these words.

"What could have happened?" Chronos asked, and Chaos, hearing this, said, "He contracted a disease that I refused to cure, after I gave him a warning that this might happen one day, he didn't care, and although he was not a god, killing so many gods had poisoned his body with magic."

Chronos was surprised and wanted to know more.

"That's all I can tell you Chronos, forgive me, but this is a promise, a promise I made to him, I can't break this promise because I owe him." Chaos suddenly said, Chronos seemed to be left in the middle of the road.

Still, old Chronos knew that he could not go against his creator's word, he was just afraid of the shock, excitement and confusion that James would experience when he learnt of such things.

"I will protect James whether it is because of him or not, and if you made a promise to his ancestor, then I must protect his bloodline." Chronos suddenly said, and with that, he opened a portal behind him, bowed to Chaos, and walked through the portal back into the hall of Olympus.

As soon as he entered, the eyes of those around turned to Chronos, even if the old man was trying to avoid the eyes, he could not succeed.

"Where have you been, Chronos?" Nyx suddenly asked, and for the first time, Chronos seriously rebuffed Nyx:

"It's something you don't need to know, Nyx, believe me, not this time," Chronos said, and with that, he left the hall and started heading towards his place.

What he left behind were dozens of bewildered gods and goddesses.

James woke up during this process. There was no one in the room he woke up in, it didn't take him long to realise that he was in his room.

When he tried to move his body, he felt a strange body pain and realised that the pain was hitting him just as much.

"Agk..."

After a small groan, he realised that he shouldn't move and let himself go, then he thought of his aunt, so he thought calmly:

"Aunty, are you there?"

As James was thinking these thoughts, the ring on his finger suddenly glowed, the spirit of his aunt materialised and sat down on the armchair next to the bed as if she was alive.

"We can talk now, James," Emily suddenly said, and James, hearing this, said in his mind, "Someone might come in the room, they'll see you," he didn't want to tell Nyx and the others, who were probably watching him, what was going on.

"Don't worry, only you can see and hear me. Now to the point, do you remember what your mum said to you the day she died?" Emily said suddenly and James paused for a few seconds as he heard Emily's words, he could feel a deep ache in his head after those words.

"James...live a good life, my son..."

James suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his mind and realised that a memory had formed in his mind. He seemed to hear the words his mum had said to him when they had been in the car accident.

"Do you remember, James? Do you hear my sister?" Emily said and James, hearing these words, looked at her and said:

"What are you trying to say, I don't understand?" James replied.

Emily looked at James when she heard these words and then started to speak:

"A lost warrior, a warrior who worshipped Nyx, the supreme goddess, but who saw that after long battles the fights of that time would not be extinguished, a warrior who fell ill, a warrior who begged Chaos to create a prophecy and made his own soul wait millions of years."

"A worshipper of Nyx?" James thought, his mind wandering to what Emily had said in that short sentence.

"A warrior who founded the Church of the Night, the one who created the Sun Empire, a supreme being blessed by Chaos himself, who can kill gods and destroy their souls with just his gaze. A bloodline forgotten by Chaos until its time, the highest human bloodline that has ever existed."

James was shocked frozen where he was for a few seconds and asked, "So you're telling me I'm someone from the tower, that my ancestor is the same one who founded the Church of the Night, that he's Nyx's greatest follower, and that he planned everything with Chaos?"

There were dozens of questions in his mind.

"No, our ancestor was someone from the tower, we were born outside, but yes to all other questions," said Emily.

"But does that mean my fate is sealed? What about Chronos then? Does he know something? Is the fate and the line of time he tells about some kind of nonsense? Was everything written? Was I playing?"

Emily smiled and said, "No James, the prophecy was only meant to protect you until you entered the tower, to be honest, the prophecy was there to protect the one will be enough for the tower and killing gods which in this scenario it is you. Your parents are dead aren't they, don't you remember? You don't recognise any relatives or anything, don't you find that strange?

Your mum must have shown me to you, do you remember your dad's face, do you have your memories?"

When James heard the last thing Emily said, he took a few steps back to his memories and tried to remember his father's face.

"Leon Black...He does not exist does he?" he suddenly asked. The questions in his mind were increasing.
