Chapter 17 - Ties and lies
Thank you all so much for voting commenting and still reading this
I deeply appreciate all the support
I'm so shook right now
I really don't know what to say
But I'm very thankful
But like my notifications are weird. There's usually a red dot signifying a new notification. But like my laptop doesn't really do that, probs my sucky wifi.
Then I check it, and BAM people voting and commenting.
Then the stupid things is like you have a notification, cuz the red dot, so I check it, and what is it?
It's telling me, yes me, that I updated my, yes my, story just like 5 seconds ago
And I'm sitting here like bruh, I know that I hit the publish button, I just hit it 5 seconds ago...
o<(-_-)>o ;-; o<(-_-)>o ;-; o<(-_-)>o ;-; :-)

I swear to god the tower's out to get me.
Somehow I keep being put into strange situations.
After everything I've been through I never thought I'd have to fly. When people see me 'flying', as they call it, I'm just standing on a wide vast platform of invisible lighthouses.
Yea I can actually levitate, fly, whatever, but it's so last 5 centuries ago.
Like who flies any more, that's like saying people still use steam engines to run the place when you could use electricity.
But I guess I need to upgrade the lighthouses more since some of them faltered...
The whole fiasco was over and I sat in my house, provided by FUG, contemplating life. I didn't do much, sit around, sometimes train, eat all day, watch T.V, everything was provided.
Yet instead of going out and finding the things I needed to continue my journey in life, to find answers, I was sitting. Almost like imprisonment.
I mean, I'm not really allowed to go outside and do things, let alone find the 13 moth series and rings. I'm also supposed to do what I'm told by the elders, like a dog.
What's even stranger is they tell me I have to wait to become a ranker for them to start properly helping me. Yet they say I can't become a ranker until 'it's time'.
Talk about being indecisive, am I right? Of course, I'm right.
But this situation feels a bit fishy, very very suspicious.
I plan to end my ties with these FUG people, they don't help me so why should I help them. If they interfere they'll have to deal with me, and I don't think they'll want to do that.
"Pocket send a message to FUG." I remodified a bunch of things here, including the pocket. It now has a bunch of convenient functions and gadgets.
"What message would you like to send?" An Alexa like voice spoke or was it more like Siri.
I could change it but I don't know what, there are accents like British and Australian or famous people
Do you have a suggestion, I might actually change it.
You know how hilarious it would be to morph 2 peoples voices into one, Imao
"Imma head out, ight."
"Would you like to send it to all FUG related people?"
"No, just the leaders and such."
"Your message has just sent master."
I sighed thinking really hard, deep in thought. They have been using me for their selfish needs, I already knew that obviously. I just don't care, being a god to them was pretty funny. Make my own world and the people their will worship me seems boring when you could take a pre-existing one.
But they'll pay for this, did they really think someone like me would let that slide that easily?
They're oh so very much mistaken.
3rd P.O.V
Back when Iris entered the tower:
A rabbit man spoke into his pocket, with a group of other rankers, consisting of Jahad's army and FUG to princesses and high-rankers, for this call was important. Just after the events of seeing a certain girl entering the tower, defeating his especially hard test.
He could sense she was dangerous, her aura looming everywhere. Even slight shivers ran through his body at first. He knew he could not let this person up the tower, though that decision was for the second floor, he knew he had to do something about it.
What did he do? He upped the difficulty 10 folds, something high-rankers would deal with.
But alas, her power didn't even awaken the monster within the turtle, she made it a level 10 floor challenge or lower.
"You all must be wondering why I gathered you here, in this call." The animal man spoke.
"Why this zoom call thing, it's utter trash and barely functions."
"Well, the pockets can't really do group calls, especially with this many people."
"We should get that fixed, immediately."
"Ahem!" The rabbit spoke over the other people's conversation.
"There seems to be a mistake-" That was a big mistake for the rabbit to say, it was almost as bad as losing your vision because of overconsumption of carrots.
"What the great Headon made a mistake!"
"Oh no, is the beginning of the ending of the tower!"
"We're all going to die!"
"Shut up you low life FU-"
"No, you shut up despicable Jaha-"
"That's enough bickering children. No, I certainly did not make a mistake, it was the tower's decision. I don't know how but as soon as I sensed this irregular, she was very different from any of the previous regulars."
This caught the attention of many of the people on the call.
"Please elaborate."
"She opened the doors, quite literally."
"Aren't you supposed to keep dangerous entities from entering the tower?"
"I did, but she was really strong even for an irregular. She makes Urek Mazino look like a child."
"Excuse me, babies? Who are you calling a child? I'm a dashingly handsome man. Your prince charming that will save you, well damsels in distress."
"Grrrr, what are we going to do?"
"Eliminate her."
"Well tell the people at Evanhell's floor to make sure she doesn't pass. And that boy."
"Why would we do that, we just need to give tests, none of that BS."
"Because she's a threat to this tower. She could get in the way of all your plans, every one of you. She plans to open the gates, unleashing monsters even high-rankers couldn't deal with."
"Fine"
"Yay whatever"
"This seems like a you problem, not a me problem."
"Yea, I agree, leave me out of this."
"I understand I'll gather some people."
"My group will cooperate with you. For now, just so I can-"
The call ended and life in the tower continued.
Then another group call was made, just after the events on Evanhell's floor happened:
"I couldn't stop her in the first few test, the administrator let her move up."
"We'll have to get some more reliable people to stop her."
"Ok, I'll send some of my men."
"I don't know if that will be enough, she was extremely lucky, and you know luck."
"Then I'll send more strong people, simple."
"No that won't work, she somehow teleported to the perfect space where she could get a free ride to pass some of the tests."
"Then she showed immense power doing the simplest of things."
"Don't worry guys, I'll contain her. First I'll gain her trust then-"
Everyone left the call.
Calls like these continued, as the girl, Iris, continued to climb the tower.
"Ummm, Huston we have a problem.."
"What did you do." A man named Huston replied.
"She left..."
"You're fired."
"I'll try to get a squadron of armies."
Iris P.O.V
I went in search of the journal my dad had. It was somewhere in my storage room, either in a box labelled 'books' or 'Dad's old stuff'.
Found it.
I coughed a bit from the dust that was covering the thing. That man needs to clean his shit up.
I read through it because that's what people do when they find a diary that's not theirs
A lot of the book was about his life story, from childhood to when he met my mother. Damn was there a lot of drama.
Like on one page it was a list of cringy pick-up lines he was trying to think of. You would think it belonged to a teenager, but nope, belongs to an XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-year-old something man.
Then I got to a part with a sticky note, dated to the time my mother left. I didn't really want to read it, considering the horrifying things I just read. Like I'm starting to think my mom was 'the man' in the relationship and my dad was an overused trope character, 'the princess' one.
You know where they can't really do anything, and there to shy, but somehow the prince or male lead ends up falling for them.
Back about to the part where the sticky note was.
I started reading and was surprised it wasn't 'Eeekkkk I'm so excited' every line.
It was written professionally, like paper and laws he would always have to write.
That's when I saw the back of the sticky note, the one right before the pages of sophisticated writing.
To Iris please read, my dearest daughter.
It read.
