Tower Ascension

Chapter 45 - Shameless Personality



"But, wait! Let\'s call Anne." Peter thought to himself as he called her. Anne was reluctant but his reasons were strong enough to suppress her emotions.

He looked at his inventory and took out the key. With the key, he created a portal and entered it. When he appeared in the grassland, he got a little surprised. Because this was the Floor Zero. He thought for a moment. He basically has nothing to do in Floor Zero.

After a minute, he decided to enter the first floor. He wanted to see if he could find Alice. But, two days should have passed inside the tower. Fortunately, it was still the daytime. He used the ring and teleported himself in the same grassland.

He thought for a moment and turned around. His main goal was to complete the early quests. So, he ran towards the city. He didn\'t want to waste his time searching for them if he can find the information. The city was near the grassland.

It only took him less than ten minutes with his speed to reach the city. Like the previous city, this city was also covered with several massive walls. When he walked in front of the gate, he found no one was blocking his way.

He shrugged his shoulders and entered the city. Suddenly, a message appeared in front of him.

[One Mana Coin has been deducted for entering the city. Now, you can enter and exit the city without restriction.]

\'Seriously? That\'s too high-tech.\' Peter speechlessly looked at the message. He didn\'t think that the system will deduct his mana coin on its own. But, for him, it was just a mana coin. He didn\'t think too much and walked further.

He had already walked a few meters, he started seeing more variety. There were lots of people from lots of different cultures and races. But, something made him narrow his eyes. These were humanoid beasts aka Beastman.

\'It seems to be a Beastman separates them from the rest of those monsters. Hmm! I thought dragons were perverts. When did humans start having s*xual relationship with other races in such mass numbers?\' Peter got even more engrossed in them that he even forgot that he had come to the city for information.

He looked around and saw there were very few humans. It\'s not like there weren\'t rather there large numbers of Beastmen. These Beastmen were friendly though. Everyone seems to be occupied in communication with others.

"Hello! Do you need help?" Suddenly, a voice startled him. He turned around and saw a young Beastman.

"Ahh! Yes, I was surprised to see so many Beastmen around. I just came from Floor Zero." Peter nodded his head and asked.

"Oh! No wonder, you were looking everywhere. Unlike Floor Zero, the first floor has many cities. This is just one of the cities. The nearest city with the most humans near us is Granrary. Our city is called Haren. If you want to visit the Granrary, I can..."

Suddenly, Peter interrupted him and said "No, no, I don\'t have such intention. I just want to know whether it is possible to find information in this city."

"Of course, it is. There is an information center in the North West part of the city. I don\'t have anything to do. So, why don\'t I show you around the city?" The young Beastman approached him with a friendly smile and walked ahead of him.

Peter shrugged his shoulders and followed the Beastman. As he introduced more places, Peter came to know the tower better. It seems every floor has its way of living. On this floor, people live under the control of the city lord.

And, the thing that makes this floor different is their city lord\'s dependence. These city lords do not pray to any gods or demons. Unlike floor zero, nobody has conquered this floor. Instead, there are lots of guilds on this floor.

From three guilds of Lucifer to several guilds of gods and demons. They all have an equal share in the specific city. Such as this city has three guilds Lion Heart Guild, Flame Dragon Guild, and Valkyrie Guild.

Peter didn\'t have any interest in joining these guilds. He followed the guide to the information building and entered it. On the counter, there was another lady. Seeing this lady, he walked to her and asked "Can I enter Black Market?"

The lady raised her head and nodded with a smile "One Mana coin, please!"

Peter was a little offended by the price but didn\'t think too much. He gave her a mana coin and the lady took him to the back room. Unlike the previous floor, it had a visible teleportation door. He nodded his head and walked in.

After that, he returned to the old man\'s store.

Surprisingly, he didn\'t find the old man rather a young girl.

"Hello Sir, how may I help you?"

As Peter approached her, she showed a gentle smile and asked.

"I didn\'t know the old man had a granddaughter. You are very cute." The first thing that came from his mind not only startled her but also him. For a moment, Peter didn\'t comprehend what he just said.

"Thank you!" His words along with his handsome face were enough to increase the heart rate of any girl. She shyly bowed down her head.

"Ahh! It\'s you, kid. I thought Lucifer had killed you." The old man suddenly came out of the room and spoke with a loud voice.

\'Dude, I just made a single mistake and why do you all remember that. Shit! What the hell happened to me? I never made such mistakes. I never flirted with girls. What happens to me whenever I enter the tower?\' Peter screamed to himself with dry tears.

Suddenly, he realized something as his eyes shrunk.

\'Damn! It must be that shameless personality. Yeah, from the moment I enter the tower, I feel like I am neither of my two personalities. So, being shameless actually, makes me flirt with other girls? Wait, what if Camellia learned about this?\'

\'No way, no freaking way, I can\'t reveal something like this to her.\' For a normal person, such mistakes could be nothing. After all, nobody truly thinks about every step of their life. Nobody does that! But, Peter does. He thinks of the consequences of his action.

And, then if he gets to benefit from it, he takes the action. And, if he doesn\'t then he doesn\'t take such action. But, the moment he has entered the tower, he hasn\'t taken such action. Picking the fight with nobles, revealing every bit of information without thinking too much, training a stranger, letting others read him through his actions, these weren\'t something he does.

\'Does that mean whenever I enter the tower, my shameless personality will take over me?\' Peter asked himself.

"Hey boy, where are you? Come to old man\'s shop!" The old man snaps his finger in front of Peter as he tries to bring him out his thoughts.

"Sorry, I was so engrossed with your granddaughter\'s beauty that I even forget you were here." Peter was startled when the old man tried to bring him back. As soon as he came back, he spoke whatever came to his mind.

\'Shit! Shit! Shit! What the hell am I doing?\' Peter screamed in his mind and realized that he truly wasn\'t in control of himself.

\'Okay Peter, control yourself! Take a deep breath in, release a deep breath out! Take a deep breath in, release a deep breath out!\' Peter slowly started doing whatever he thought was good to control his mind.

"Boy, I knew you were shameless but this is on whole another level. And, take your eyes of my granddaughter before I gouge those eyes of yours." After he calmed down, he looked at the old man fuming with anger as he stared at Peter.

"Old man, I am not shameless. I was just admiring the beauty. But, putting that aside, I have something to ask you. How many people know that I am practicing Lucifer\'s skills without joining him?" Peter turned serious as he slowly took over his shameless mind and asked.

"Well, everyone! Now, Lucifer had left a huge bounty on you. Of course, I am not greedy for that bounty. I can\'t say my daughter and granddaughter won\'t be." The old man chilled down on the chair and spoke.

"Grandpa!" His granddaughter suddenly turned red as she shouted at him. Then, she turned her gaze at Peter and said "Sorry for his words but believe us, we will not reveal your information."

"Thank you!" Peter spoke with another gentle smile then turned his head at the old man, saying "I need a passive ability that allows me to change my appearance. Do you have any at low cost?"

The old man thought for a moment and walked away. After a few minutes, he came back with a scroll and explained "This is Thousand Face Transformation Skill. It is unique and one of its kind. With this technique, you can make any face you can think of. You will be using your stamina rather than mana, internal energy, or spirit power."

"So, as long as you eat and live the daily life, no one will be able to find out. Not only that but you can also change your voice and aura to that of the same person you impersonate. You can also transform between two genders. And there is one more thing."

"If you manage to get the blood of that person, you can even copy that person\'s power. As long as you have the same level as that person, you can even fight like that person."

Hearing his words, there was only a sentence in his mind and that came out of his mouth "What do you want?"
