《The Angel System: Outer Heaven》Chapter 4: The Tower of Babbel
Advertisement
“What is this?” Lucius said as he opened the red box.
System Message
This is the unreadable Codex, a system designed for you, Lucius the chosen. All other Angels cannot read or see this system. It is one solely designed for you.
To activate this system's other mechanics, such as the skill tree, abilities and Angel Transcending, you must reach level 2. To obtain your first quest, speak to Adam, and enter the tower of Babbel.
"Heh this is getting interesting" Lucius said. "Looks like I've obtained a special book that no one else here can read, I can use this"
"Tell me Lucius, what do you mean by videogame! What is the Codex telling you!"
"First, tell me how do I get to Lucas and Evelynn" Lucius said.
Adam let out a sigh and carefully stroked his chin.
"You still lack a halo" Adam answered. "You need it in order to travel."
"And where do I get this halo?"
"In the east there is a great tower, known as the tower of Babel. It's located outside of our realm can you see it?" Adam asked.
Lucius strethced his eyes to the east and witnessed a huge tower ascending above the clouds. It was so tall that it seemin gly had no end to it, continuing endlessly intot he sky.
"You are free to leave and enter this realm, but for all the others you require a halo. The tower is where you can recieve one. Since you are already an Angel, you will be able to enter from the 70th floot, which is basically our ground level here. If you are able to maintain this level during flight you should arrive directly where you need to be.
"I see" Lucius said
"Each floor of the tower poses a challenge, some of them are physical, others are mental, or even spiritual, if you manage to make it to floor 80 you will be able to travel to the realms you please." Adam said.

"And what lies on floor 100?" Lucius asked.
"Truth," Adam answered. "As well as the golden halo that can get you back to earth." Adam said.
"I don't like this" Lucius thought "There is so much I don't know about this world, and he seems to be gatekeeping the knowledge from me until I figure out this book." Lucius thought looking down at the Codex.
"Fine," Lucius said. "Ill get to the 80th floor, find Evelynn and then Lucas, and head back to earth, after that you can have everything in this Codex" He said.
"Excellent!" Adam said. "I wish you holy grace, may the eyes of the creator watch over you."
"Tsk," Lucius said. "Some Heaven this is."
System Message Quest Recieved, Reach the tower of Babbel to reach Level 2
“Oh and Lucius one more thing" Adam said "I haven’t explained how things work. Here in Outer Heaven anyone can start from floor 0 and become an angel just like you, you have been given the privilege of starting from the 70th floor. However, if you are to die, you will return the the floor of Eden which is floor 0 and be stuck there for eternity.”
“What!” Lucius said. "Why is my brother on the 0 floor?" He thought
“Yes, those who fail this challenge are stuck in Eden, you are free to remain an angel here if you’d like and live an easy life, but you will never encounter your brother or fiance again."
"I'm sure if I ask you aren't going to tell me, so I'll hold off on how people are chosen to get to each floor for now." Lucius said.
"But tell me, there is another person from my history, his name is Judo, There is no way someone like him made it into this devine place is there?" Lucius said.

"Judo is in one of the dominoins suffering the rath of hell" Adam answered. "He had no place here."
"Good," Lucius answered. "As long as he's away from Evelynn, thats all I care about,"
"Evelynn" Lucius said taking off. "I'll save you soon enough."
“Master” One of the angels said “Why did you lie to him? You need him to progress through that book so you can obtain its information from him, one way or another he had to leave this place.”
“Thats true” Adam said. “But he doesn’t need to know that for now. If he finds out how important revelations is, he could destroy outer heaven.” Adam answered
“Is it that powerful of a Codex?” The angel asked
“You have no idea, its rumored that even just its first page can level a giant, which is why I have sent Julius to watch over him.”
“Julius? Why would you send that power hungry maniac to watch over Lucius? He will just end up killing him!”
“Two birds with one stone” Adam laughed. “The second bird being julius ofcoarse.”
"Thats all good and well, but what will he do when he learns of Evelynn and Judo's fate?" The angel asked.
"By the time is able to do something about that, the revaltion will have already been finished." Adam said. "And We will know the creators name once more."
Lucius came to a giant tower with ancient engravings all the way down its surfaces. It shone brightly as it penetrated the clouds, ascending upward in a twist towards the sky.
“This land is absolutely beautiful” Lucius said lookin garound “Its a view I would have loved to share with you Evelynn” He said sorrowfully. “No time for lamenting, I’m goin gto enter this tower and get you back!” He yelled racing into the tower.
“Ancient herald of the King of fate.” A giant voice boomed.
“What.. what the hell is that!”
A giant two headed lion with the body of a Sphynx spoke to him with a deep booming voice. Incryption of anceint hieroglyphics were written all across its body, and a red jewel rested in the center of its forehead, radiating a crimson light.
“Holder of the book of Revelations, the end times have come, what is your message of fate? Will you choose light or darkness?"
Quest completed! Access to the Evangelion system has been granted

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.

The Inheritor
Alistair strolled through darkness shunning himself from light, he was plunged into the depths of hell by the greed of his own family. He crawled from those depths leaving trails of blood, craving for vengeance and toiling like a crazy wounded wolf. After years of struggle he stands at the peak, a peak no one could touch, a peak where he could disdain anyone. Alistair had long got his revenge and quenched his burning fire with blood of those wronged him. The man who was supposed to have achieved everything one could possibly attain in a lifetime was actually left with nothing but felt utter isolation and icy solitude before his inevitable end, the death. ***** Alistair was given another chance, reincarnation, with a system and the inheritance of the entire universe. He’s determined to lead an entirely different life, a life in which he truly pursues happiness with lots of friends, lovers and a lovable family. Will he get over his past and really turn a new leaf??? Will a place where law of jungle has long seeped into the society allow him lead a pleasant life without any carnage or bloodshed?????? ------------- Warning: About Story The Inheritor will be your standard reincarnation fantasy in a futuristic setup with cultivation being a mainstream occupation. Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.

Cursed by a mysterious group of beings for reasons unknown and currently hunted by enemies far outmatching them in strength, they gamble everything on the hope that someone answers their call. *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Things like NTR, rape and the like are things i hate so if people are worried about that stuff i want to let you know that those things will not be happening. EDIT(June 18): So I should warn you guys, I have been told that the chapters have too many info dumps. This is a shortcoming that i am now aware of thanks to comments and reviews mentioning that fact. Since i know many readers enjoy the character interactions much more, that is what im planning to increase with my future chapters. I would say only my more recent chapters have decent amounts of character interactions and this is what i will take a larger focus on from now on. Although there will still be information presented, I intend to not make them so long. If you can get past the info dumps, you may like the story. Who knows. EDIT(August 19): The summary above is new. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont usually do this... but if you like TLK, this story, then feel free to check out my other work: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/5893
