Ding! Thud! Whoosh! Bang!

Without any hesitation, Peter dropped the sword on the ground while throwing Alice away. Suddenly, the golden beam blows out of Miya\'s hand and pushed Peter against the wall.

Thud!

Upon collision, Peter fell to the ground with the blood coming out of his mouth. He hurriedly lifts his head while Miya took back her hand and said "So, have you confirmed your guess?"

"It seems not all the people inside the tower are dumb. Hell, they are even smarter than some main character." Peter gritted his teeth with the pain while standing up as he spoke.

"Oh! Who is that dumb character? You know, we also have some novelist inside the tower." Miya spoke with a friendly smile on her face.

"Mike Tyson from Yin-Yang Harmony System! He was pretty dumb for the main character but has some great character growth." Peter walked near Miya while Alice came running towards Peter. She clings into his leg and looked at him teary expression. (A/N- Shameless Promotion)

"Sorry, I was just trying to check whether my guess is correct or not. And, this was better proof than simply asking her." Peter patted her head and spoke with a smile. But, his heart was calculating his every step faster than the lightning but the result was only one.

\'Damn! I made too many mistakes and left too many loopholes. I should\'ve considered this as climbing the tower rather than leaving it. And now, I am worried about Alice. Damn sh*t! I should have considered Ray\'s words properly.\'

After regretting a while, he lifts his head and looked at Miya asking "So, how long does it take for someone to come down from the ninetieth floor?"

"Don\'t worry! It takes more than three days. Each twenty-fifth floor has a checkpoint that takes over a day to complete. And, they need to vastly decrease their strength as well. Of course, level zero is different. Although their strength will decrease, it won\'t decrease by a lot." Miya spoke as her voice began to change.

"Let\'s go! We are leaving tonight. Open the door to the black market." Peter hastily spoke while moving towards the black curtain. He took Alice\'s hand as he moved forward. Miya sighed and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Peter entered the black market and hastily rushed towards the last shop. He appeared in front of that old man and smashed his hands on the table, saying "Give me twenty drops of Demon\'s Blood!"

"Sh*t! I almost inserted that inside her...…." The old man suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at Peter while ending it with "in the dream."

"Which bastard dared to interrupt my sweet dream?" The old man shouted in rage as he slammed his hands on the table.

"Oh! It\'s you. Didn\'t you just buy the Demon Blood yesterday?" The old man made weird gaze at Peter and asked.

"Yes! And, I need more. Give me twenty drops of Demon Blood!" Peter growled at him. His eyes couldn\'t hide the hideousness in it.

"Alright, but do you have any money to buy it?" The old man nodded his head but still asked while holding his hand. He wasn\'t an idiot to give away twenty drops of demon blood for free even if he likes Peter.

"Here! Twenty Thousand Gold Coins." Peter took out ten pouches of gold coins and put them on the table.

The old man glanced at the ten pouches and walked away. After a minute, he returned with twenty small-sized jars filled with Demon Blood.

"Here, twenty drops of demon blood. A little warning for you. Don\'t use it all at the same time! Your body will explode." As soon as Peter grabbed those jars, the old man warned him with a seriousness in his tone.

"Alright, I will be careful." Peter nods his head and rushed out of the black market while holding Alice in his back.

"System, level-up!" Peter spoke as he walked out of the door. As he walked away, he glanced at Miya and nodded his head.

\'Did he just reach level four? His mana quantity has increased along with five years of lifespan. It seems he is really not simple as he seems.\'

\'But, can he finish the quest before Lucifer arrives? Well, we have nothing to do with him. If it isn\'t related to information, we couldn\'t care less.\'

Miya shook her head and started doing her own job. After all, it wasn\'t just Peter who comes here to retrieve information.

"So, he is the guy who can steal others\' skills?" A man was sitting on the chair wearing a black t-shirt and short jeans. He turned his head at Peter\'s back and asked.

"Yes! Do you plan to recruit him?" Miya asked as her tone sounded excited.

"He does have a unique talent but he has already made an enemy with Lucifer. Although our guild doesn\'t fear him, it is not a good idea to make an enemy with that person." The man shook his head and immediately rejected her idea.

"Oh!" Miya looked dejected upon hearing his answer. She immediately turned her head away and focused on a different task.

"Why do you look sad? Did I do something wrong?" The man was surprised by her mood. He just rejected her idea and that made her sad?

\'Women are really full of confusion.\' The man sighed when Miya shook her head and said nothing.

At the same time, Peter has already gone out of the city. Although he gained five more stat points, he didn\'t use it.

From several experiences with those goblins and wolves, he understood he needs a different kind of improvement in different kinds of situations.

That\'s why he knows that he must save more stat points. After all, he might require to improve every stat to defeat a level 10 monster. And other monsters won\'t be much lower than it in terms of level.

As soon as he reached outside, he sprinted towards the direction of the white fox.

"Alice, are you scared?" Peter asked while running.

"If I was scared, I wouldn\'t have chosen to train in the first place. Don\'t worry! I am small and weak. As long as I can reach level-one, I can hide easily." Alice shook her head and spoke without a single trace of fear in her tone. She didn\'t even shutter once.

Hearing her words, Peter bitterly smiled. He knew this won\'t be as easy as she said.

"Well, I don\'t want to say something useless to you so I can not truly say anything that you don\'t know."

"But, remember if your goal can be achieved by the hard work. Then, never think \'Why am I working so hard?\' or \'Why can\'t I just quit?\'"

"Regret! I had one. But now, I no longer have that. Do I hate dying while saving others? Hell yeah! I don\'t want to die like that. But, that doesn\'t mean I should give up on my dream. Currently, I am confused. I used to have a dream."

"But now, I feel like my dreams have changed. And, I don\'t know what it is. So, for me, returning back to my world is my goal. I want to know what my dreams are." Peter spoke while sprinting towards the fox. His path was quite simple. He rushed through the goblin area and twenty kilometers from it.

Alice stayed silent. She knew what he meant. In her mind, she constantly feared losing someone once. All she had was her parents. She lost them. And now, she only has Peter. And, she knew will lose him soon as well.

More importantly, Peter was telling her that she will be in great trouble. And, without having him to support her, she might just give up living. After all, she doesn\'t have the talent of climbers or theirs descendent.

She is just one of the common people inside the tower. She might not even survive after working hard. Sometimes, she might just doubt herself. That\'s why Peter was preventing her from giving up.

He had asked for a way to get the spirit that can enhance his speed. Originally, he thought a green goblin would be a better choice but later, Miya suggested the White Fox. In the way, he could also get the Light Spirit Grass.

As long as he takes this after absorbing White Fox\'s spirit, he can enhance his agility. Peter quickly looked around, trying to find the Light Spirit Grass. According to the description, Light Spirit Grass is white grass with three yellow stars on it. But, they are usually small so it could become a hassle to find them.

So, instead of searching for grass, he wandered around searching for the white fox. Instead of hanging at his back, Alice decided to walk with him. But, Peter suggested she train with the mana core that they got from those wolves.

He also wanted to train but before that, he must find the Light Spirit Grass. As he was wandering around, his eyes suddenly caught the glance of a white fur. He swiftly crouched down in an attempt to hide.

At this moment, he quickly gave a glance at his status.
