Avatar: Tower Master

Hi, my name is Callum Williams, I know the boring name right, both my first name and last name are one of the most common you can find and until a few days ago I was quite the common person. I went to school, went home, played video games, and watched Tv. That was until I fell down a manhole cover and died. At least I think I died. It's hard to tell as I don't correctly remember. The last thing I do remember is the smell of shit entering my nose then blackness. 

Within this blackness floating in front of me is a red flashing screen that simply won't leave me alone. 

[Welcome chosen to your character setup please choose what you will look like in your new existence]

[Customize] [Random]

Seeing the screen in front of me all I could guess as to what's going on is that I have completely lost it. That's it for my life I'll spend the rest of my days in a fucked-up comma with my only company being the red screen Infront of me. Not knowing what else to do I decided to be an idiot and close my eyes then press the customize button. 

"Fuck!" I screamed out loud as I realized that I was an even bigger idiot then I realized. I had accidentally pressed the [Random] button that floated in front of me. Moving my finger quickly I tried to press the customize button, but the screen had disappeared and been replaced with a new one. 

[Thank you, user, your appearance will be randomized after the completion of these notifications]

"What?"

[Welcome Callum Williams to your new existence, you have been chosen to become a tower master in a world without a tower. As compensation for your inconvenience, you will be given a series of choices to better accommodate you]

[Accept] Y/N

Not knowing what to do I simply stared at the screen for, well who knows how long everything is black! Feeling the frustration boiling up I couldn't help but scream "What the hell is going on!!".

Being my only god damn option in this black world I pressed [Accept] and watched the screen flash to a new one. 

[Congratulations for accepting your new role. As a tower master you will bring an era of power to a new preselected world. As you are only human your mind can't remember or comprehend all the information accompanied with your tower so a system interface will be issued where information pertaining to discovered floors will be available for you. Now let's begin the selection process of your various options]

What. The. Fuck. Is this real? I don't even know what to think anymore, but this blackness is getting really anointing so in the interest of getting out of here I look at my options. 

[Class options] 

[tower look]

[location]

[Cardinal rules]

Honestly, I don't understand anything I'm seeing so pressing the first opinion I looked at the expanded screen. 

[Class options] 1/3

For your first choice, you can select what level you would like participants to gain their class. 

Note: every 5 levels new abilities will be offered. 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Okay so I get to choose when people get a class? I am now officially confused. Okay I still have no idea what's going on so let's go with ten. 

[Class options] 1/3

Please choose the four initial classes that people will have access to upon gaining their class. 

- Explorer

- Fighter

- Mage

- Ranger 

- Rouge

- Crafter 

- Healer

- Human+1

Alright? Fighter, rogue, and ranger seem pretty straight forward but what on earth is an explorer and Human+1. As if hearing my thoughts the screen expanded those options for me. 

Explorer: States each level: +1 endurance +2 Free point

The Explorer is a class focused on adventure and traveling. They generally don't specialize in any sort of combat or magic and instead focus on the more unconventional skills/abilities. They have an initial choice of Abilities being either a personnel mini-map, identify or a personnel storage space. 

Human+1: +2 free point

The most unforced class is simply to be yourself, the Human+1 is simply a direct advancement to your current abilities giving you an additional point free point. This class has no direct abilities associated with it and is mostly used when people don't know what to choose. 

Okay these seem pretty straightforward, but I wonder what some of the others are like, especially with their choice of abilities. Without even touching the screen a few others popped open. 

Mage: +1 spirit, mind

Mages use the magic within and around themselves to cast spells to match the situation. This class generally uses a focus for their spells, but they are not required. The class automatically gains the ability of mana control but gets their choice of one spell, magic bolt, weak shield, mage light, appraisal. 

Crafter: +1 strength, constitution

The crafter class is all about making various tools and items to help in a variety of situations. This class is unfocused and has no specific direction of what type of crafter they will be. Their initial choice of abilities will be auto craft, personnel storage or identity.

Healer: +1 spirit, will

Healers are some of the most sought-after people as any group would love to have them. Their initial abilities are quite weak but over time as they get stronger, they become an essential person. Their initial abilities are a choice between weak heal and weak cure. 

Hmm. All of the choices are good, but I can only pick four. It seems like all of these should be a given choice. It took a while, but I finally decided on the four that I wanted to include, Fighter, mage, healer, and Explorer. Okay with my choices made let's continue on to the next choice. 

[class options] 3/3

Every class requires an advancement stone that is placed randomly on a floor. The area within a mile radius of this stone is generally a safe area please choose which of your initial floors that this tear one stone should appear on. 

1 2 3 4 5

What the heck does it mean by a tier one stone? And yet again the screen opens another page. 

[Tier one class stone, this stone allows a participant to gain one of your initial classes]

Okay this popping up of windows is starting to get really annoying. Let's go with floor five for right now. 

Alright with these choices done let's move onto the next one. 

[Tower look] 

[Please select the look of your tower from the preselected options. ]

Alright let's take a look at these. It seems that many of these are pretty standard, one is even just the Washington monuments. I finally selected one that looked like the leaning tower of pisa, but you know, bigger. 

Alright let's look at the next opinion, maybe checking out the location would give me an idea of what this "World" that has been mentioned is. 

[Location] 

Near a capital/ Near a city/ Near a town/ middle

Okay again. What. The. Fuck. No map, no names, just the most minimal shot description of all time. This provides absolutely no information. At this point it's better just being random. 

Choice [Random] selected.

Wait! No, I want to be next to the capital, please go back.

Cannot change choice. 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. This is insane, that means that every choice so far cannot be changed. Damn it I was planning on looking at the classes again. 

Please choose you [cardinal rules]. These are rules that are automatically enforced and if cannot be broken. 

Okay, pretty straightforward. Let's go with no killing. 

[unacceptable] 

Okay how about no murder. 

[accepted] pvp is disabled on floors 1-5 and in safe zones. 

Alright that's one, two more to go. What do I need most in this situation? Let's try making myself immortal. 

[unacceptable] 

Umm. how about unkillable. 

[unacceptable]

This is just getting annoying. Let's try something else "I'm powerful" I say out loud. 

[Accepted] other people's skills and abilities do not work/affect you. 

I guess I can go with that, then let's think about this last one for a second. The thing that would most likely help the most is if people can't stop others from entering the tower. 

[Accepted] people cannot stop others from entering the tower in any way. As a reward for thinking ahead you have been rewarded with land spanning 70 square miles around your tower. In this area you have just as much authority as you do in your tower. Though because you have property then your influence is limited to this area outside of this people will not be able to open or access their status screen outside of this area. 

Oh, come on! Even when I get something I freaking lose can we please just skip this already and go wherever I'm going to be sent. 

[Accepted, confirmation of choices skipped] you will now be sent to your new world.

5…..4…..3…

"Fuuuuuck" I screamed out loud for the second time. 

..2…..1…..Goodbye.
