The Tower Of Destiny

PROLOGUES

A man with a hobby of reading searched for a book on the shelves in the library where he attended school. After about a minute passed, he found a book with a worn brown cover to make it dusty. It seemed that the book had long since been untouched by human hands.

The book was titled Tower of Destiny, or if interpreted as 'Tower of Destiny'. A man named Kei opens the cover of a book. Even the paper looks very old.

He opened every page, until he stopped at page 100. There's one big sentence there. 'Your adventure is about to begin'.

Kei smiled with satisfaction. It seems he found an interesting book.

As a teenager, he could be categorized as a 'campungan' and 'norak' person'. How not, when teenagers his age prefer online games, he actually likes books, like a boy who does not know the development of the world.

Kei took the book to the loan department. After the transaction was successful, he stuffed the book into his carry bag and took it home.

****

The sun almost drowned behind the towering buildings. Indeed, it has become a routine Kei to get home by evening.

He slammed his carrying bag just like he could, starting to fall. Kei reached into his pants pocket, grabbed his mobile phone and checked incoming messages.

Kei grunted sebal.

"Where did Viole go? It's been almost three days that the girl hasn't messaged me, hasn't even gone to school. Is he sick?"

Kei started to take away his sense of prestige. He called Viole. His heart beat irregularly. Nothing yet, his breath was as stingy as a long distance run.

The sound of 'beeping' continues to repeat for several minutes, until finally someone on the other end of the phone spoke up. Kei's face red blushed for a moment.

"Hello, Viole. How are you doing? You've been missing for three days, where have you been?"

"Sorry, who is this?"

Kei stunned. It's not that someone on the other end of the phone doesn't know him, it's a different-sounding voice. This voice, it doesn't belong to Viole.

"Oh, hello. I'm Kei, Viole's friend. I'm sorry, can I talk to Viole for a second?"

"Viole."

Like a bolt of lightning striking with the power of billions of volts, Kei's brain did not work. His feet stepped on their own, running into Viole's house.

It only took a few minutes to get to the gate of the house of his beloved girl.

Kei knocked on the door. No need to wait long for someone to open it. A middle-aged woman stood in the doorway with a lethargic face and eye bags that looked jet-black.

"Tan..tante, what does Viole mean...lost?"

"Go in, son."

Kei nodded.

"Last Sunday, Viole just bought a virtual device. He played the game what his name is viral. He said, if someone entered in that game, his body would also disappear. Indeed, Viole had already shown Aunt the first try. And it only lasted a minute. After that Viole came back. But on the second try, he said he wanted to play for a bit longer. He said he was bored. That's why Auntie allows. The loss of Viole's body, Aunt is not as sweet as the first experiment. Auntie was sure she'd be back before lunch. But...." mamah Viole began to shed tears, considering the child only wayangnya not yet returned.

As a teenager who is classified as intelligent, Kei immediately understood the problem.

" Aunty, can you see that card game?"

Aunt nodded. He stepped away, picking up the cardboard used to wrap the connecting tool with the game Viole was playing. Lasting only a few minutes, Mama Viole returned to the living room and handed the cardboard to Kei.

Kei checked, looking at every word listed. It is true, when the player logs in to the game, his body will disappear entirely. When logged out, his body would return to his world.

World time and game time versus 1:100. That is, a hundred days in the gaming world is equal to one day in the real world. If Viole is lost for three days in the real world, it means that he is trapped in the game world for three hundred days.

He looked back, looking for the name of the doom game that eliminated Viole. "The Tower of Destiny".

Kei turned his back, as if he could not believe what he was reading. The Tower of Destiny? Wasn't this title the same as the book he had borrowed in the library?

Kei stand. " Aunty, can I take this? I promise I'll figure out how to get Viole back!"

Aunt nodded. He can no longer say. The crying is still broken. It seemed, mamah Viole did not stop crying for three whole days.

At home, Kei picks up the book he still keeps in his carry bag. Shabby books with the same title, even the type and color of the letters look the same.

"Is this a coincidence? Shabby books and newly released games? Even the two were adrift for a long time?"

Kei opened each sheet, until he stopped at the hundredth page. Still with the same word.

"Your adventure will begin soon."

Kei opened the next sheet.

"Close this book if you don't want to play with destiny. Give your blood if you want to fight destiny and try a thrilling adventure."

"What'sthis? Give blood?"

Kei picked up the needle, piercing his thumb until the blood came out. He touched the book with a bloody finger.

Kei's body was blurred, shimmered, before disappearing sucked into the book.

"What's going on? No!!"

"You've made a contract. Welcome to the tower, where your life is at stake!"
