You can not leave this tower before completing the following tasks.
Time is being manipulated inside the tower.
1 day inside the tower is equivalent to 10 days outside.
You will have access to only 10 floors of the tower, including the ground floor. The first participant to clear the 9th floor will receive a chance to select a reward of their choice from the variety of choices.
Each floor has an obstacle you need to clear before proceeding to the next floor or receding to the previous one. each floor you clear will become a safe zone for you. You will be able to treat it as a leisure place. Even if someone else would be facing a trial there, you will not be harmed.
You can only leave the tower if you have accumulated enough points to do so.
One exit ticket costs: 10000 points.
You'll receive 1000 points for clearing one floor.
Furthermore, you'll also receive points for killing the occupants of the floors. Points will be awarded depending on the level and grade of the monster killed.

"That sure is a lot of rules," Arnold mumbled as soon as he enter the tower, "At least it made one thing clear. I can't leave before clearing the floors. Even void travel isn't working in here."
[Well... I'm not gonna say, 'I told you'.]
"Yeah yeah, whatever. How long will it take to get the duality slots open again?"
[A couple of days.]
"Alright. In the meantime, let's find Nicole and get the hell out of here. Nina is going to kill me either way for disappearing again."
[You deserve it.]
Arnold ignore system sama's compassionless comments and went ahead through the first door, where a challenge awaited his arrival. However, Arnold couldn't see anything. It was too dark for him to even see the palm of his hand. Thankfully he had fire ability to take care of this problem. He conjured a small ball of blue flame to give him some visibility. But Arnold didn't like what he saw next.

There were skeletons scattered all or the small room and it smelled so repulsive that Arnold had to use his bionic arm to cover his nose. Still, the smell of rotten flesh and blood made him uncomfortable. Moreover, the room was laden with moss and some kind of monster faeces. Arnold guessed it was this monster who was responsible for all this killing.
He carefully looked around but there was no one except him in the room. This confused Arnold. He was supposed to clear this floor to head to the next one but how was he supposed to do that? In warrior's terms, clearing something meant to get rid of a monster or several monsters, but there were no monsters to be seen inside the small room.
"Don't tell me..." A thought suddenly struck his mind when he saw a couple of brooms and dusting pans placed in a corner, "Do I literally have to 'clear' this room? What the fck? I'm not a housekeeper anymore!"
[Hahaha! It is quite funny indeed. Making the self-proclaimed world's strongest man do sweeping. It's better than any way I could have roasted your pride. Haha.]
Arnold once again ignored system sama and his remarks. But... just what the hell was this tower making him do? He wouldn't have to sweep across all of the ten floors right? Because if he had to, then that was just bull crap! He was a warrior, not a sweeper.
However, it wasn't like he did not have any experience in doing that. He would often have to do a lot of odd jobs while working as a porter to pay off Nicole's hospital bills and cover his minimal living expenses and housekeeping was one of them.
"Fine, if I have to do this, then let's get it over with." Arnold shrugged his shoulder's and went ahead to grab the broomstick, "Fck, if only I could still access my domain, I could have had like a couple of automatons do this for me."

[Too bad. Now get to work Mr sweeper.]
"Yeah yeah- what the hell is this!?"
It looked like the broomstick was some kind of a switch or a trap, because as soon as Arnold touched the broomstick, the room was filled with light and all of the corpses and skeletons came back to life. All of a sudden they didn't look as frail as they had when Arnold entered the room. Arnold glanced over them, and there were a lot of different skeletons.
There were goblins, orcs and ogres which were easier to deal with. Then there were lizardmen skeletons, hell, there were a couple of skeletal dragons as well. However, this was only the start of his troubles.
Arnold abandoned the broomstick and tried to take the Cardinal's sin out of the inventory. But then he was notified that the access to the inventory had been restricted. Not only that, he could only use the broomsticks to take care of the skeleton horde.
Arnold tried punching the goblin skeleton closest to him. His fist connected with the goblin's head, ad he crumbled into a pile of bones but the next second, it was back in shape as if nothing had happened to it. Arnold then tried using his abilities, but even that was a bust. He could use his skills but it did no damage to the skeletons.
"What kind of sick joke is this?"
[Try using the broom.]
"... alright!"
Arnold grabbed the fallen broom and smashed in on the goblin with all his might. Surprisingly... it worked! The goblin was reduced to dust.
__

"Something is seriously wrong with the one who came up with this game." Arnold sighed before charging towards the rest of the horde, "Killing monsters with a broomstick? Who the hell even thinks of this sh*t?"
[... For the first time since I have known you, I want to roast someone else more than you. Either way, chop-chop. We have to clear the tower and find your sister.]
"Yeah, yeah. I heard you!"

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.

Stitches
When Lidiyana awoke, she wasn't alone. Instead, she returned to the world with Gareth - a man who tended to her after a horrific accident left her in a coma. He's strange, but also kind in his own way, helping her regain her memories and teaching her about their former relationship. However, as Lidiyana learns more about the world around her, things may not exactly be as they seem. Stitches is a fantasy web serial focusing on interpersonal drama, surreal horror and adventure. As a forewarning, it should be noted that Stitches is not for all audiences, as it heavily features various horror elements including some gore and body horror alongside minor elements of sexuality, nudity, drinking, etc. I know there are content warnings, but I did want to clarify exactly what's going on here. Stitches should update every Friday, barring exceptional circumstances.
