When a Chosen One Falls
🔔 [Global Notification]
〚Congratulations to the challenger Danilo Chicana for conquering the Second Floor of Abyss Mode.〛
〚This feat shall be eternalized in the records of the world.〛
〚Total Time: 00h42m〛
The voice echoed across the sky like the roar of a divine dragon.
From the deepest depths of the abyss to the scorched surface of Earth — everyone heard it.
Men and women stopped.
Soldiers, children, prisoners, god-chosen — they all looked to the sky.
The name Danilo Chicana was engraved in the clouds.
Danilo, sweaty and breathless, looked up at the second floor's sky and sighed, exhausted.
— Shit… it's global, he muttered, wiping blood from his face.
— As if the whole Tower wanting to make me famous wasn't enough — now the entire world knows me?
Kiala, still catching her breath beside him, lightly touched his arm:
— It was wonderful, master. Everyone needs to know you exist.
He rolled his eyes and walked over to the corpses scattered across the frozen snow.
All around them, dozens of treasures were scattered — as if the abyssal monsters had carried the world in their stomachs.
He collected everything through the system, mentally, without even checking each one.
But what caught his attention most was inside a black chest — dark as the abyss — now open with a soft click.
✨ Items Received:
📜 Guild Creation Order – Null Rank

— Now that's treasure... Didn't I already get a city creation order though? — he said with a crooked grin.
But the system chose not to answer.
— If this is just the second floor... I want to see the tenth.
He looked ahead and whispered:
— Ascend.
🔥 Third Floor – Red Hell
The sky was crimson.
Flames danced over floating rocks, and rivers of lava flowed like open veins of a wounded titan.
The heat was suffocating.
Even with magical resistance, Danilo felt the sweat pour, his chest tighten.
Kiala stepped back slightly, her golden eyes scanning the terrain.
Soon, 60 monsters appeared.

— This is going to be loud as hell... — Danilo grumbled, activating his Chaos Sword.
— But that's what the Abyss wants, right? A massacre.
The battle began.
The Ashen Hounds charged like living bullets. The Monarch appeared and blocked them.
Danilo carved through with side slashes, exploding them midair before they got close.

— Still too weak. I can't even kill one in a single strike.
The serpents slithered through lava, attempting to flank him.
But Kiala reacted, summoning frozen shadow blades that immobilized and then shredded them into thirds.
The problem came with the Furnace Demons.
One of them unleashed a fiery blast that broke part of Danilo's defense and melted the floor beneath him.
-900
He died.
The resurrection ring flashed — he returned to life.
Kiala looked at him, startled, but calmed once she saw he was alright.
— Bastards... — Danilo clenched his teeth.
+3000, activating his Judgment Axe and its healing effect, combined with his growth armor.
— Leave the one who hit me for last, he growled to his two partners.
He had realized his fragility — even with two powerful allies like the Monarch and Kiala, a sneak attack was still a threat.
One slash. Two. Three.
Each strike grew stronger. Each explosion more chaotic.
In the end, the five demons were slain — one by one — with Kiala's support as she tore through the sky with her golden antlers.
Only the last one remained — the one who had hurt him.
He approached it as it was pinned by the Monarch.
Blue flame lit up in Danilo's hands.

Eye of Judgment (Passive) – Sees loyalty and sin.
Sinfire – Burns sin and grows stronger.

The demon screamed in agony.
Danilo tortured it for a while — then killed it.
The ground trembled.
The blood evaporated.
Victory was absolute.
And before he could catch his breath…
⚔️ Floors 4 to 10 – Continuous Massacres
People outside kept hearing notifications of Danilo's conquests.
🔥 Fourth Floor – Desert of Burning Agony
60 monsters: 8 Marquises, 26 Counts, 26 Barons

Creatures: Mist Sharks, Tainted Sirens, Blind Medusas
📍6th Floor – Tower of Chaos (Abyss Mode)
The biting cold of the frozen plains had become routine.
Danilo, covered in dried blood and panting, dragged a monster's carcass toward the farm.
Then… the world stopped.
The pain came out of nowhere.
A spiritual depression — deep, dark, suffocating — as if the universe itself was in mourning.
Danilo staggered.
— W-what… is this? — he whispered, clutching his head.
His heart grew heavy as lead.
An ancestral, inexplicable sorrow crushed his soul.
Then the system spoke with uncommon coldness:
"A Chosen One has died."
— A what?
"Chosen Ones are direct heirs of the gods. They receive special powers, eternal blessings — they are their divine representatives in the world."
Danilo looked around, stunned.
— So... this pain in the air... it's mourning?
"It's imbalance. The world feels the death of a divine fragment."
Danilo stayed quiet, then raised his eyes.
— System... if there are gods... Are they all-powerful?
"No."
— Is there... a God? The true one? The absolute creator?
A long pause. Then, with rare seriousness:
"Yes. Everything was created by a Being. Above gods, chaos, and order… is The One. The Primordial."
"If you want answers, survive. Grow. At your current level, you're cosmic dust."
Danilo clenched his fists.
— Then I'll become dust that cuts.
🔥 Scene Cut – Kaiyden Karun – 2nd Floor (Hell Mode)
Two burning corpses lay at his feet.
Kaiyden spun, dodging an infernal beast — a black scythe in hand.
Then he felt it.
The same crushing depression.
But instead of being crushed... he smiled.
— So one of the divine dogs fell…
He dodged another strike and cut off the beast's head.
— Overestimated daddy-god's power… and died like the trash he was.
He split another monster's skull — blood spraying everywhere.
— Danilo Chicana…
Your victories are whips across the world's back.
They make everyone run faster... but they also speed up the fall of the weak.
He paused, contemplative.
— Keep going, Danilo Chicana.
🌍 Global Reactions – The Chosen Ones
🇨🇳 Liang Qing – Chosen of China
The skies of Beijing darkened.
He clutched his chest, face contorted.
— My lord… what is this?
"A CHOSEN ONE HAS FALLEN"
"There's more than one chosen?"
🗣️ [Divine Voice of the Celestial Dragon of a Thousand Heavens]: "Yes."
— His name?
"It doesn't matter. Prepare yourself. The tower is voracious."
🇪🇬 Eva Ayob – Chosen of Egypt
In the golden ruins of Luxor, Zahra shivered.
— A Chosen One… died? Are there others besides me? How many?
🗣️ [Voice of Thoth]: "Yes, my daughter. And he died from arrogance. Don't think having great power makes you invincible. The tower arrived today — and that fool must've thought himself special."
— But Danilo Chicana did it. Who is he? Another Chosen?
"I doubt it. If he is, then his patron is terrifyingly powerful.
Whatever he is — he's a real threat."
🇧🇷 Tomás Chicano – Chosen of Brazil
At the top of Serra do Roncador, Murilo punched a stone until it crumbled.
— These bastards are dying too easily.
🗣️ [Exú Patron]: "It's a sign. Beware pride, Tomás."
— You want me to be afraid? He's Chicana, and I'm Chicano. Maybe we're family — powerful blood. If he can, I can.
"I want you to win — and stay alive."
Even without understanding fully, the world felt it.
Danilo Chicana's frequent notifications made everyone want to challenge the Tower…
But now, no one knew exactly what happened —
They only felt it was connected to the Tower.
Former leaders grew restless.
The world went on alert.
And among the few who truly understood what had happened, only two remained silent:
Danilo Chicana, who kept climbing…
And Kaiyden Karun, who was preparing to catch up.
