"That oughta do it, I think so anyway." I murmur to myself under my breath while clutching the dagger I had taken from the goblin's corpse. "Ok it's now or never I guess." Ehhhhhh the door creaks as I slowly open it. I cringe while thinking of all the different creatures that could be lurking in the rescesses of the hall way. And what I see horrifies me more than anything else I had ever seen in my life. Dark red smears of blood as well as gory chunks of flesh are splattered all over the hall and the lockers.
I hold back my urge to vomit at the sight that lays before me. I slowly creep forward warily afraid of something that might jump out at me if i'm not careful.
"How the Hell did this all happen so fast That goblin appeared less then 20 minutes ago, but this...."
"But this... isn't right how could this happen this is terrible. hoooh pull it together Daemon."
"Raaah", I hear a screech coming from behind me. "Wha-" I start to shout before a sharp pain bursts through my shoulder and sends me flying off my feet.
-8 hp bleeding -1hp per 5 seconds
"Shit Fire!" I scream as pain flows through my shoulder before spreading troughout my body.
Turning to look i see a goblin standing behind me holding a bloodied dagger in it's hand. "Heh heh heh" it cackled out waving it's blood stained dagger in glee. "Rooar" My face turns red with rage and pain as I shout my anger back at it, and charge towards it with my dagger held out in front of me. A look of suprise flashes across it's face as it realises it's prey was fighting back, as my dagger slams into it's shoulder it's look of surprise turns to anger as it drops it's weapon, taking this chance I rip my dagger out of it's shoulder and slam it into the goblin's throat to finish it off.

My eyes sweep up and down the hall as I search for anything that might have been attracted by the sounds of the scuffle. To my relief I see nothing but as I have just learned and nearly payed dearly for learning it I need to keep a sharper eye out, and need to pay more attention to my surroundings.Scanning the area oncemore, and once again finding nothing I lean down to scoop up this things dagger.

"What seriously, a skill, and 3 skill level ups, from a corpse!? This is Awesome" I say happily.
All of the sudden a wave of nausea comes over me as I realized what was happening and what I had done. Barely supressing the nausea I realized the magnitude of the events that had taken place over the last half an hour. I start to walk away before I hesitated remembering some of the information from the description of that thing's corpse. "It did say the corpse could be used for making armor, weapons, and potions didn't it? No I can't believe I was thinking of that, well it is a monster aaand I really don't wanna die, so what could it hurt, but on the other hand am I really going to desecrate a corpse just to survive, Yeah I guess I am" I say as I store the corpse into my inventory. "I should probably go rest for a little bit before I keep searching shouldn't I?" Yeah, I should I think to myself as I return to the bathroom.

The Tower of Opportunity - Rewrite
Criminals from around the world are summoned by a mysterious being who informs them that they only have 3 months left to live unless they climb the mysterious tower that lies before them, through which they can gain another two weeks added to their lifespan for every floor conquered. They soon discover that they can harness powers that have been granted to them by this mysterious being to not only achieve victory against the enemies that they will face in the tower, but also attain their deepest and darkest desires as well. Watch our protagonist's journey through the tower as he struggles to endure the curse he bears, one which damns him to ever-repeat his climb to the top of the tower, until he succeeds. *** This is a rewrite of a story I started writing about 3 months ago which was written in the third person, and this rewrite shifts the story perspective to the first person. There will be occasional user polls to decide how the story progresses, interspersed throughout the story, and the polls that were done in the original version will still apply to the current version. Also if you have any suggestions for story ideas that you would like to see incorporated, leave a comment about it, and they might show up in the future. Lastly, I hope you enjoy the story, and thanks for reading. P.S. Thanks to gej302 for the cover art.
