Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System
Chapter 50: Emperial Library and the Creator-Grade

James felt like he was going out of his mind when he entered the imperial library. From the first floor, he could see the enormity of the library.

A white floor and a sky reminiscent of outer space stretched endlessly, and he knew it was impossible not to be mesmerised by the sight.

He had grown stronger lately, to an unbelievable degree indeed, but it was still not enough. He had been dying only three and a half days ago. If he hadn't called out to Nyx at the last moment and Nemesis hadn't come to his aid, he would have died.

Yes, he had managed to choose Nyx when he entered that tower, but it had been both an achievement and a poison for him.

James himself was just beginning to realise that he had made hundreds of times more enemies than friends.

He had to grow stronger.

Still, with the Creator-Grade abilities he had gained, he was in a pretty good position. Although he still couldn't feel it, he had gained the [Holiness] status at the very top of the tower.

As people of other races trusted him, this rank would continue to increase, the status would evolve. In short, James had taken an unimaginably big step towards becoming a god, even if it was a baby step.

"My lady, when I first entered the tower, I was told that there was a tiered form only up to the Godly tier, that is, up to the black cards, what is the reason for this?"

James asked this question with great curiosity, he was curious about it.

[There's a pretty big reason for that. How many people do you think enter the tower every year?]

James thought for a few seconds as he looked at the window opposite him and then said "I don't know...maybe a million or two million people?", he had no idea how wrong he was.

[That's more than half a billion people, James. The question now is how many people do you think manage to complete the tutorial?]

James scratched his chin, a little surprised at what he had just heard, and then said, "Half of them, I suppose?"

[That's right, about half manage to complete the tutorial from easy to hard. Remember, not only your world but millions of worlds from millions of universes are participating in this tower. Only half of them manage to pass the tutorial every year and progress towards becoming gods.

Only one thousand or two thousand of these people deserve the respect that can be tangible, and only ten or twenty of them manage to achieve Legendary or, even if rarely, Godly achievements like you].

James' eyes widened a little and he smiled as he read this message deeply, then he looked back at the message window Nyx had sent and spoke softly:

"So the rest don't even need to know Creator-Grade. After all, out of those ten or twenty, at most one or two of them will be on their way to becoming gods. Even they will barely be able to reach Creator-Grade."

Even though he couldn't see it when he said those words, Nyx nodded her head proudly.

"Hah! Who would have thought that the person or people who tried to kill me would make me so much stronger? Puhahaha! What irony! The ability of gacha that Chaos gave me actually did save me huh?"

James laughed as he saw another window forming in front of him:

[So you did know what was happening.]

"Of course, I knew, my lady, come on, I'm not an idiot...the moment I heard what Nemesis had done for me, something clicked in my head, and after a little thought, I realised that, of course, I was being targeted. Anyway, let's start exploring the library, shall we?"

[I've set the library so that no one can see it except the external Chaos-Borns inside, so we'll be watching you just in case].

A sly smile formed on James' face as he read the message window that suddenly appeared in front of him. Seeing this smile, James began to speak before Nyx and the others could even think about what was going on:

"Then tell all your kids to sit down, they're going to want something from this library! Order them and I'll read all the books and make copies, I'll deliver them to you when I get to Olympus. Nobody told us we couldn't make copies, did they? After all, the entire imperial palace belongs to the CHAOS Guild."

Nyx and her family all burst into laughter at his words, James' occasional sneakiness was indeed a huge personality disorder, but James didn't have that...he was just plain a little crazy.

After his words, he went straight up to the third floor of the library and looked around, shook his head for a moment and then said 'Well, we can start now'.

Even though he didn't realise it, the preparations for war had begun outside the library. All guilds on the 5th floor that were affiliated with the empire had agreed to participate in this war. The Church of Night, the Olympus Guild and the Asgard Guild would lead the war.

Nemesis would follow this war closely, or rather, Poseidon would be watching Theseus and she would be near by Poseidon.

However, James would try to fulfil his duty inside the library unaware. Or rather, what he knew as his duty.

He wanted very much to replace a talent, a talent that would suit him, a talent that was very likely to help him, a talent that would make it a little easier for him to avoid future dangers.

This was his ultimate goal and desire during his time in the library. That's why he had gone up to the third floor of the library as soon as he finished his speech.

After all, whatever he was going to replace, he was going to replace the highest-ranked thing here, which meant that even if he could not examine all of them, he could still manage to see the necessary ones.

The colours of the books were different, which was a huge stroke of luck for James.

His progress would go up another notch.

This was the way.
