Best Chance

Hao Ren pondered for a while, surveyed his surroundings again while digesting various things regarding his current situation then started asking the System questions.

"Tell me, what exactly happened to me?!" he said half shouted.

[You were previously crushed to death by a car. After fulfilling some conditions, the System answers your wish to stay alive by providing a chance

second for you to be reincarnated as a Player]

"Condition… Reincarnated… Player…"

"So I actually came back to life…"

[Yes]

"If that's the case, then why was I resurrected in the form of a toddler like this?" protested Hao Ren didn't accept it even though at first he was happy to be alive again.

[The reincarnation requirement requires you to return in such a form.]

"Isn't there any other choice?" Hao Ren wished there was a better choice than being a weak toddler who couldn't do anything.

[Nothing]

"Nothing?"

[Yes. Nothing]

Hearing this statement about this extremely difficult situation really frustrated Hao Ren.

Even though during his life he had been afflicted with many misfortunes and now after being given a second life the misfortune still continues to befall him.

Why is heaven so cruel?

Hao Ren then massaged his forehead which felt more and more dizzy with everything that was happening.

"Ah... Why is my life always so unlucky..."

[Probably because-]

"No need to answer!"

[Good]

"Tell me again, where am I actually now?" Hao Ren asked back in a limp tone after heaving a sigh.

[You are now inside a sacred place called the Tower of God]

Hao Ren frowned uncomprehendingly, "Sacred place? Tower of God? Ahk, what else is that? Please explain in more detail."

The system explained to Hao Ren that he was currently at a place within the Tower of Gods where there were fifty floors each of which would be a test that Hao Ren had to complete before he could tread the outside world.

The higher the floor he will step on, the more difficult the obstacles will be.

They are currently on the ground floor.

"Seriously, you said I had to finish all the floors?"

Hao Ren asked with a stubborn tone after digesting the explanation.

[Yes. To be more precise, you must be able to clear all the floors here within three months.]

"Crazy! How can I finish all the floors when I can't even walk myself! Plus in this condition! Don't be kidding!"

Hao Ren this time was made emotional by the system.

How could he in his current state of being just a toddler who couldn't even walk, must was told to complete every fifty floors here in three months?

Of course he was very emotional.

Luckily he didn't go crazy hearing it.

[You don't have to worry, the system will always help you in solving any problems you have]

Suddenly a blue transparent panel appeared in front of Hao Ren which contained a brief hint message from the question that had made Hao Ren emotional.

Hao Ren calmed down and started reading the message.

The message was about the timing system in the Tower of God. There it is explained that the time that rotates here turns out to be moving four times faster than usual.

Or in other words, one month he was inside this Tower of God equaled one year he was outside.

"In short, sixty hours or two and a half days here equals one month in the real world?" Hao Ren concluded based on his calculations.

[Right. You are so smart! ]

"Then how old am I now?"

[Fifteen months]

"Fifteen months..."

"Toddlers can generally walk at eighteen months... If I'm fifteen months now... that means I need another seven and a half days or three months to be able to walk..." Hao Ren rested his chin as he concluded all possibilities .

Then he sighed, "Even if I can walk, is still impossible to complete all the floors here, considering there will definitely be lots of obstacles and monsters on each floor that I have to face," he complained with a sad face.

He was increasingly frustrated with all the possibilities that happened in the future.

[You just have to try it first]

"Try it? So I was reincarnated just to be a guinea pig huh!?" Hao Ren said with a sinister smile.

[No, this is an offer as well as the best chance to keep you alive]

What? The best chance! This was definitely torture! Hao Ren thought in his heart.

Although on the one hand it was true that Hao Ren wished to live longer, and that offer was the only key.

"Hm… what if I refuse?" Hao Ren asked as he folded his arms across his chest, acting as if he was opposed.

He was a little hopeful that with himself acting like this there would be a better offer.

[If you refuse, you will return to the previous state. Or in other words you will die]

"Tch."

Hao Ren clucked in annoyance at the System's reply. Of course he didn't want to just die after being given the chance to come back to life. He didn't want to waste this one-time golden opportunity.

'How about this. What should I do...' Hao Ren pondered.

"Tch, so there's no other choice, huh..." He scratched his head non-itchy.

Circumstances forced him to accept the offer.

[How? Do you agree to clear every floor in this God's Tower?]

[Yes/No]

A transparent panel then appears showing the approval sign of the system question.

Hao Ren was silent for a moment contemplating the offer as he tried to make up his mind in his heart until it was completely made up.

Taking a deep breath, he made a decision.

"Okay fine, I just need to give it a try right?..."

Hao Ren decided to accept the offer. He wanted to know what the storyline of this ridiculous fate scenario that happened in the lives of these two would be.

Will it be the same as before? Or could it be much worse? He does not know.

Hao Ren could only hope that this time fate would lead him to a better path.

[A new adventure will start after some procedures are completed]

[Please wait a moment...]
