Chapter 5: So, Am I going to die again?
"The time for the next Door to appear is 2 hours."
"I felt like I almost died during the battle. If it wasn't for your help, I'm certain I would have died."
"I just activated your skills. You are a newbie and that is understandable. My job is to assist you. And to get stronger."
"Well, thank you, that was so close."
"You are welcome. But I'd like to remind you, that the higher floor you face, the stronger the opponents you need to defeat. You are required to activate your next obtained skills. Once you reach the required level to unlock Skill's description, you need to understand how your skills work."
"Okay. But still, I thank you. I avoided using my revival change."
"Anyway, here's your Status Menu."
A screen pops out from nowhere before me.

"I leveled a lot this time."
Psyche did not answer.
"Hello? Psyche?"
"I heard you. Of course, you need it. And also I received a report from the administrator of the Infinite Tower. The Infinite Tower administrator recognized your strength and they decided to give you the Copper Door."
"Copper door?" I frown.
"Copper doors consist of higher-level opponents. Let's say most of them are Class D ranks and are level 30 above."
My eyes widened in shock.
"That's basically a suicide! Are these administrators crazy? They are trying to kill me!"
"The Engineer and the Architect believed you could conquer the copper-type door thus the System is already upgraded. You will be thrown to the copper door whether you like it or not."
"No…no…no…I need to refuse this time. If I were to conquer the copper door, I must level up more to 30 or even 50-"
"Champion Violet, you will be punished. Violating the administrators' decision can also be punishable. The more you try to oppose them, the more difficult doors they will throw you at."
"What happens to slowly levelling up and avoiding revival chances?"
"My apology. I can't answer you that."
I roll my eyes. I'm not sure if I can survive the next floor and door of the tower but I'll die first without trying it with my luck despite having no luck in my status.
"The only thing I can help you with is to upgrade your weapon spear of East Winds."
I told you, I have never used a spear before."
"You have to try. I am also thinking of ways how you will survive inside the Copper Door. I suggest leveling it will help you."
"Okay. I'll leave it to you."
"Thank you. You'll get your new level-up spear after an hour."
"An hour? Look, I only have 1 and a half hours before the copper door will open."
"You will have your new weapon before you enter the door."
I heave a sigh.
My hp is 900/1000. I wonder if those numbers will rapidly decrease later or worse 0/1000. I only have to maintain my HP to 2% percent to trigger the daggers' effect. I'll keep it as my trump card.
Sighing again, I open my weapon equipment slots. I have three slots. Two of them are for the daggers and bow. I have been using the daggers and the bow which I'm good at. But the spear? I don't know. What if I dodge? Punishment sounds worse than death.

On the other side, as Violet imagines the worst possible punishment for her if she dodges the System Quests, the guild located in the heart of the planet near the grand Dungeon seems like something is bothering a man. He is restless.
"I saw it with my own two eyes. The final boss' grave has been shifted. It seemed like the monster gathered in some time now," says the man wearing a cowboy hat. His name is Alexander, one of the men who raped the woman in Violet's memory.
"Oh shut up, Alex. It had been centuries since the hero killed the final boss. What you see was probably the effect of your alcohol addiction," one of the B-rank adventurers named Alice answers him.
"Shut up bitch. I saw what I saw. It is shifting!"
"Ugh, whatever," the woman replies and proceeds to flirt with her boyfriend.
The truth is, the final boss' grave is shifting not because whoever is buried there will resurrect but to acknowledge the next final boss in the making. All the monsters inside the dungeons are scattered everywhere and their boss will arrive soon.
