Avatar: Tower Master

Hey readers. I this is the author I am back from vacation and am ready to write some more.

POV Sarak 

While walking through the new town I looked at the strange man. He had pale hair, green eyes and pointed ears. If I had seen him anywhere else I would have thought of him as a spirit. Soon we came upon the entrance to the tower, looking up I couldn't even see the top. 

"How big is it?" I asked. 

The strange man looked at me "Big enough to never reach the top" he answered cryptically. 

"What does that mean?" I questioned, after all, all buildings had a bottom and a top. 

"You will see, please enter the tower" 

Giving him another look I forced my right foot to lift and pushed it through the white doorway. Then my vision blinked and I was standing in a large field with some sparse trees in the distance. 

[Welcome to the tower! Here you will be challenged more and more the higher you climb but with these challenges comes rewards. Nothing is out of bounds; you can become stronger and even learn mystical powers depending on your class choice. To look at your character sheet simply say "status" and it will appear, while you are inside the tower owner's territory you will be able to open your status and allocate status points but outside their territory you will be unable to access the status page but will retain your learned abilities. To learn more about each section of your status page simply press on it and a small description will be provided]

Stepping in beside me the Tower master said "Impressive isn't it, this is only the first floor there are many more above"

Turning my head towards him my eyes widened "How far have they gotten?"

Putting his hand on his chin he answered "I believe the highest floor they have gotten to is the fourteenth or fifteenth though only one or two high level climbers are there"

"High level?"

"Say status"

"Status?"

"What is this?" I asked. 

Looking at me the tower master answered "the system takes all of you strengths and abilities then puts them into numbers you can understand" 

"Then what is this level?"

"Everytime you kill a monster you gain experience. Once you level up you can increase one of your attributes."

"Monsters?"

Pointing ahead of us I saw a transparent blob of green; something; hopping around "That is a slime, one of the monsters on the first floor, why don't you try killing it" He said handing me a plain looking spear. 

Taking it from his hand I cautiously approached the creature, keeping my center of gravity low I pointed the edge of my spear at it. As quick as I could manage I thrust the spear towards its center and as I hit it, it burst, leaving behind some green goo. 

[+1 XP]

"There you go, ten more and you should level up" The Tower master said. 

"Alright, lets try this"

Approaching another slime I stabbed the spear through its center. Then another and another. 

[+1 XP]

[+1 XP]

[+1 XP]...

[Level up: Free point acquired] 

"This seems rather easy" I commented, especially with my quick level up. 

"It's supposed to be, think of floors one through five being a tutorial, they are only meant to get you used to the system and levels. The same is true for Levels until you reach ten it will be relatively easy. After that though it becomes a lot more difficult" He explained. 

"How do I use this free point?" I inquired. 

"Open you status and press on the stats you want to increase"

"For a warrior such as you I would recommend strength, endurance, or constitution" 

"What do these do?"

"Strength is pretty self explanatory. Endurance is more the amount of time you can keep fighting. Constitution is like you body's base health, the higher it is the more fluid you body will feel" 

Thinking of his explanation I moved to put my stat into constitution but thought better of it and put it into strength. Immediately I felt a surge of power go through me, my muscles tightened up and released. "I feel stronger" 

"Yep the tower offers the ability to grow infinitely stronger, beyond what you think possible" 

POV Callum

I watched as the water tribe warrior observed his body, moving through various forms to test his new strength. 

"I need to inform the Chief about this, I must depart with my men immediately" He stated. 

Seeing his determination I was about to answer when I realised I had never tried teleporting multiple people before. "One second please" I said. Tring to teleport the both of us I got a notification. 

[Teleport option]

Yourself- free

1-2 people- 500 points

3-4 people- 1000 point

5-6 people- 1500 points

[Warning! This is an estimation for within your territory, teleporting outside of it will be significantly higher] 

"I think I can get a few of us to the water tribe almost instantly if you don't mind?" I asked. 

"Instantly?" he questioned. 

Teleporting behind him I said "I have the ability to move anywhere I want instantaneously"

Jumping back surprised he said "To be honest normally I would be skeptical of this but I don't think I can waste anytime, I need to inform the chief"

"Good, then do you want to let your men know your leaving" 

"Ahh, that is a good idea"

Walking him out of the tower I led him to the newly opened pub where his men were staying. I watched as he gave them the runedown of the situation and encouraged them to climb the tower. 

"If any of you need any equipment, all nations' money is welcome here so every store will sell to you" I interceded. 

"Realy?" one warrior questioned. 

I understood their skepticism, each nation has its own currency and it's people often don't accept outside currency "Yes it was part of my rules for the town, I wanted everyone who came here to be able to use any service available" 

"You heard him, try to buy some stuff from the tower, I heard some people discussing such items on the way over here" Sarak commanded. 

"Are you ready to go?" I asked. 

"Yes sir" Sarak said. 

"Then follow me" I led him out of the pub and down the street a bit "Sorry, I didn't want your men to freak out and disappear" 

"Good idea, that would make them rather nervous" 

[Warning this area is outside your territory cost to teleport 200 points: Does not include return trip]

[You are attempting to teleport more than yourself, price recalculated: 700 points]

"Now where should we arrive?" I asked. 

"Hmm let me think" he said putting his hand to his chin "I think that arriving on the western part of the wall would be better, there are usually less guards on duty there" 

"Alright them prepare yourself" 

Taking a deep breath he said "I am ready" 

The world flicked out for a second then we were standing on top of a large white wall made of compacted snow. Looking over to Sarak I saw his jaw hanging open and I just started laughing. 

Closing his mouth he said "I knew this would happen but to actually see it is quite surprising. Are you a spirit?"

"No, I am not a spirit, though my appearance has often said the opposite" 

"So you have been mistaken for one?"

"On multiple occasions" I answered. 

Waving my hand I felt a slight tickle on my skin as I cast an illusion over my body o make me look like an amalgamation of sarak's warriors. 

"You can change your appearance?"

"It's just an illusion, I figured this would have us going faster than a stranger walking through the middle of your tribe" 

"Smart," he commented. 

"Lead the way," I said, gesturing in front of me.
