Chapter 5: The Tower and the Path Forward

Ethan leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.

His mind kept drifting to the Tower.

A mystical structure that had appeared in their world three centuries ago. Its arrival had changed everything.

With it came the dungeons—dangerous domains filled with monstrous beasts, lost relics, and forgotten knowledge.

At that time, humanity had been on the brink of extinction. The creatures from these dungeons had nearly wiped them out.

But nature wasn’t cruel.

Just as these horrors had appeared, so too had mana—the life force that now filled the world.

Mana had awakened something deep within humanity, allowing them to manifest talents. The first people to awaken such abilities were known as The Originals—pioneers of supernatural power.

They were the saviors who had turned the tide.

And their descendants...

They were now The Original Families—rulers of this new world.

Among them was the Yagami Family.

Ethan absentmindedly stroked his chin as he recalled these historical truths.

Their ancestor, Nathan Yagami, had once been known as the Sword God. A warrior whose blade had cut down armies, whose legend had shaped history itself. 3

“And now, three centuries later, here I am. The ‘lazy’ second son of the Yagami family, awakening a support-type talent while everyone expected a combat genius.”

He smirked to himself.

“What a mystical world. But of all its mysteries, none compare to the Tower.”
