The sun shone brightly through the window that morning. I was glad I was able to fully recover and get a good night sleep without interruptions. As I was lying there the door opened slowly Vionia came in.

Seeing me awake she was really relieved.

Vionia: I am sorry I for all those torturous things I have done in the past.

Vionia: You know when it seemed that you have completely recovered and lay there for the rest of the day. You fell in too what I though a deep sleep.

Vionia: You know I was so worried that you would never wake up.

Salim: How long have I been asleep?

Vionia: Share information screen.

!!! World Class Message !!!- The Skill Eraser Cold has passed.

- It has been 2 years from the Global Epidemic.

- You may now learn new skills.

Salim: Perhaps it would off bin better for me to respawn.

Salim: Well I have rested way too much. Time to get to work and finish the Tower.

Vionia: About that! We have tried to continue building the Tower to finish it. We have ran in too a slight problem. The Lightning hasn’t stopped hitting the top of the Tower. No one dares to continue building it. We didn’t just sit around. We even tried lighting rods made out of titanium but to no success. They would just melt entire rod on contact. There is a small cloud over the perimeter of the tower only striking there and the cloud didn’t leave once.

After a while of silence Vionia continued with her story on everything they had tried. Then she said that they after the whole town was looking through all the books they have gathered in order to find some clue to its solution.

Vionia: It was found. The clue was found. It is written that buildings could only be built up to 60 meters in the sky. The architect actually even measured the tower. It seems the last stone you placed completed 60 meters in to the air.

Salim: Does that mean our quest is a failure. Did that old geezer know about this? Darn it…

Vionia: There is one solution although it would seem quite impossible at this moment.

Salim: Well don’t keep me in suspense! What is it?

Vionia: We need an expressed permission from one of the Guardians of this world.

Salim: Who, how and where do we find them.

Vionia: Where they are no one knows. How we find them is either circle the globe to find them or go screaming so that they reveal themselves to us.

Vionia: As for their names, we don’t know. However we uncovered a myth that mentioned a few places most likely related to the guardian. Those places are: Lava Tempest of the Equator, Flying Dragon City, Vanishing Island, and Gravitational Verum.

Vionia: No one has stepped foot to either of these places in one thousand years or at least that’s what the Elder claims. He even mentioned that he hid the truth from us. The truth is that there are only 6 places in this world that have a building that is more then thousands of years old. Which is said to also be 90 meters high. Elder told me he would let us know all the details behind his intentions when you woke up.

Salim: I am actually hungry so lets call over the Elder and hear his story.

As we waited for the Elder I kept quiet even towards Vionia. Since I actually knew where the Vanishing Island was. I was just always curious why it was called Vanishing Island instead of Vanishing Islands. Until I knew the full mystery about it I was not going to share my knowledge with the villagers. I was going to tell Vionia later on though.

When the Elder came and sat down. With a frown he started the conversation.

Elder: It has been 2 years since I met you eager bunch. I at first was worried you might be spies or people sent here to undermine our work to make this frontier village work. So I even went as far as to as you to build us a Wizards Tower.

Elder: If you would of built it. All my suspicions of you would completely disappear. I never imagined in to running in to this type of situation. In order for the teleportation spell in the other 6 Towers around this world to actually work, they needed to be at least 70 meters high. All of the 6 Towers are from 70-80 meters not a meter higher.

Elder: I am basically an exiled prince. The story I told you about the carriage ordered by a prince was actually made for me. Since I am the youngest prince. I no longer go by that old name of mine. Since I was set up and blamed for the attempt to take the over the throne by force. My father the King exiled me never to set foot again in his Citadel. Who only allows the Nobel’s to enter!

Elder: Please from today I would like you to address me by my new name that the peasants across all of the kingdoms gave me. “Fin…” I really liked it the name since I tried to influence the Global environment to treat everyone equal. That is were all my brothers disagreed and even set me up, in order not to be ashamed by their youngest brother in front of every Nobel. Thus I was exiled.

Fin: I told my brothers and my father the King. That I was still going to establish a start of the Strongest Kingdom in the World. Where every person from peasant to noble would be able to use the Wizards Tower for anything they would like. I said that I was going to lay a foundation of the most significant place on this World.

Fin: I have lived 420 years already and my time is coming to an end. I don’t even have a successor for my Kingdom. I have laid a small foundation for a village from scratch but not even a foundation of a small citadel or Kingdom. When you guys showed up I decided to test you and see if you can help me obtain my dream. Now I clearly understand why they laughed at me even more when I stated I was going to build the highest Wizards Tower on the Planet. My original goal was 120 meters high. Over time I decreased my ambition to that of being only 10 meters taller then the current tallest tower. Even the current plans that the architect has are the plans to be able to build the tower. However he only showed you up to 90 meters high. I always look up in to the sky and ask my self will I live to see that day when the tower I have dreamt of. You deserved to know the truth. Ever since I saw how diligently and hard you worked to fulfill an old mans dream. Thank You

Fin: As I now understand my mistake I would like to take back the quest. All that I have promised is your with no penalties. You may do what ever you want from now on. Thank You once again.

Fin then fell silent.

Just as he was about to get up and leave……..

Salim: Elder Fin! We didn’t finish the quest yet so we will not stop here just because its gotten a little difficult. I would like to use the entire sketches of the 120-meter Tower so that we may accomplish your real dream and not some halfhearted dream of 90-meter tower.

The elder had a very big smile on his face.

Fin: Then when you finish I have something extra for all of you.

!!! Quest Update !!!

- Finish the full 120 meters of the Wizards Tower.

- Time limit is still the same.

- Quest Difficulty increased from A to SSS.

- Additional rewards are unknown.

note: You will still receive the previous awards.

That is when I told everyone that we were going on a journey to find one of the guardians. Everyone was shocked but said nothing in complaint and even gave us supplies for the journey.

When we got out of town. Frick’s, Tio, Vionia all yelled in unison: “we will be back soon.”

Frick’s: I say within 1 month we shall be back.

Salim: It seems they don’t mind you speaking when did all of this happen?

Vionia: The thing is there were some Adventures passing by with talking tamed beasts. It seems everyone was expecting them to start speaking eventually. It also seems that many animals can learn how to speak according to the Architect/ Scholar/ Engineer guy.

Salim: I see.

Vionia: Why did Frick’s say will be back in a month?

Salim: Oh that. Well that’s because we know where the Vanishing Island is.

Vionia: Whaaaaaat? You know where they are? How are we supposed to cross the ocean though since it is an Island?

Salim: I bet with Frick’s ability he can run on water by now, same with me. When it comes to you either I can carry you or Tio can transform in to a whale and carry you on his back while he follows me. I think there was a mysterious feeling to it last time I crossed it implying that one can only enter through the sea.

Vionia: Well then why a month?

Salim: I don’t think the guardian will just hand something that precious which will help us build the Tower up to the height of 120 meters.

Vionia: How long is it to get there?

Salim: Hmm running at my current full speed is roughly a day. Since Frick’s is even faster then me and I assume Tio isn’t lacking behind roughly half a day. Well then shall we learn how to ride our companions as they run there?

Vionia: Sure

Tio & Frick’s: Well then friends hold on tight we are going to go full speed.

You have learned a new skill. Riding.- As your level increases in this skill the easier it will be for you to ride with less effort.

- The faster the speed the faster you will learn to ride.

- The higher level in this skill also means it will increase the speed of the Monster you are riding.

Note: Depending on the monster you are riding the higher the stats of the monster the easier it is to ride them. In the event the monster is above 1000 Stat points in agility. It is said that even a child will be able to ride without falling off even in tremendous speed. Since the monster will protect you with their aura manifested using their mana and stamina.

As Frick’s and Tio took of running I looked at my Riding Skill to see if it would level up. To my surprise This is what I saw.

We stopped at the cliff were we first came up for a brief moment.

Tio Transformed in to a large bird in order to descend from the cliff with Vionia.

I got off picked Frick’s up and used my Phantom Running in order to get to the bottom of the cliff. I than ran since it would still be hard for Frick’s to carry me and run on water. Tio also turned in to a whale and carried Vionia upon his back we crossed the Raging Waters of the Equator.

Another hour passed and we arrived at my little cabin. ? I was having all sorts of memories come up in my mind.

There was a big difference I saw a small island that was not there before. It was bigger then the rest. So when we approached it we saw a bigger hut then mine. There sat 5 people on chairs fishing. As my co. came closer and were now on the same island as them they continued to lightly talk.

Salim: Excuse me would you tell me who you are and what are you doing here?

Strangers: SHHHHHHHHHH you’ll spook the fish away. Come have a seat and we can talk.

Co.: Ah yes. Thank You.

Female Stranger: I see you Salim and Frick’s have really grown quite powerful.

Salim: Do we know you?

Frick’s: Itttttttt’ssss Maaaaamaaaaa

Everyone was stunned, even Tio who knew slightly more about monsters then us.

Salim: Is this your true form? I asked.

Frick’s Mom: Call me Iliana.

Salim: Ok Mrs. Iliana.

Iliana: Just Iliana since to tell you the truth its not my natural appearance. However its almost like asking a girls age. So don’t ask for my true appearance.

Iliana: I am sorry my friends do not wish for their names to be revealed. The only reason I told you was because you became very good friends with my boy who I even let you name, which I took licking towards. Frick’s

Iliana: Well we pretty much know everything about you and your circumstances since 4 of us here are the Guardians of this planet.

Salim: Aren’t there 5 of you?

Iliana: Yes but we have a rotating schedule. 4 active and 1 usually rest until it is time to rotate. You must keep that a secret though. Today happens to be the day I go in to slumber. I am happy to see Frick’s again before I go to sleep 1000 years. I can also release his seal with the help of a moonstone if you have one now would be the only time to use it.

Salim: Yes I have one here.

Iliana: What a rare sight for such a young one to find one so quickly. Ok here I go…. Its done.

Salim: Kind of anti climatic

Iliana: Ha ha ha ha. Yes indeed the effect takes time and the continuation of growth to show any signs.

Salim: Well that one thing down. However you know the other reasons we are here.

Iliana: Yes I do! All you have to do is get an Emperor Class Profession. Since I am sure the Emperor of closest empire wont bestow such a Profession on a no body or in other words a commoner. I will allow you to choose your profession. If you choose wisely It could even be an Emperor Class Profession.

Salim: A while back when the polar Mountains Erupted I ran around trying to save villagers. Seeing that many got hurt since I wasn’t fast enough to reach them. I don’t want to see poor people that are trying to survive get hurt ever again.

Iliana: The Polar Eruptions was actually a wake up call for one of the guardians. It also signifies the change of one of the guardians. ………….. As per what you have experienced. ……. It definetly is hard to see people get hurt and you want to prevent that by having sufficient time on your hands……

Iliana walked away and talked about something with the other strangers in an unknown language. After that she returned.

Iliana: You are from a race called Zanil are you not?

Salim: Yes I am.

Iliana: Then it is decided. With the approval of the other 4 guardians we bestow a Title on you that will also act as your profession. This has never happened before where all 5 guardians are present and will bestow you with a title of this magnitude to a worth person that is not only kind but courage’s and brave. We the guardians know your every deed up to this point and unanimously agreed to bestow you with this Title that will be your Profession as well. Do you accept even if you do not know what it is?

Salim: I accept.

As a Lighting Strike came down and hit me so did a Fire pillar, Wind pillar, Dirt pillar and an Ice pillar that pierced my heart. Then Ice pillar also pierced the heart of all my companions. We where dying. However none of us did.

Iliana: It is done. You have received what you asked for and may never be changed. Your companions also received an ultimate profession that suits their characteristics better then the one they currently hold.

Iliana: It is time. You need to leave the Great Elder Sea Turtle or what you call the Vanishing Island is now leaving to the coldest place in this world where I will slumber. Since I am the Water Affinity Guardian. I will be able to sleep better when it’s colder around me. By the way sorry for the snowstorm I caused when you were still on the island. If you don’t hurry and leave now you will loose your way to that struggling village. Just a little hint, there is a massive army headed for the little village. It will probably take them 2 years to reach that village. It seems they really don’t want that poor Fin to build his empire. Even though I believe something will happen in his favor this time. Well off you go.

We left immediately without checking our classes or professions. Since we just heard of the new threat that was headed towards our beloved village.

Salim: I think that went too smoothly.

Vionia: I guess the guardians really don’t need anything at all.

Salim: We will have to wait and see. I have a feeling that they are going to request something of us sooner or later.

Vionia: Perhaps.

Fricks: Bye Bye mother.. See you soon I hope.

Iliana: Take care and I will see you soon.

Tio: I thought I was going to die. The moment I met her eyes I knew who she was. Even the other Guardians were there. It feels I just escaped sudden death.

In just another day we reached the town and everyone was surprised. They all asked if we gave up on finding the guardians. Once we said we have already received what was necessary from the guardians. The moments of silence lasted about a minute then the entire village exploded in shouts of joy.
