Jian fell on his chest and his nose directly touched the burning hot ground.
He groaned in pain and cursed the person who did a crash landing directly on his head.
"Ugh. Who the shit..?"
Before Jian could finish, someone's hand pressed down on the back of his head, and his whole face got buried in the hot sand.
"Ah."
With a painful sound, Jian wriggled and tried to move the hand pressing down on his head.
On the other hand, the figure who crashed into Jian immediately jumped backward with caution.
Jian stood up and was going to beat the shit out of the person who just tried to ruin his angelic face but then Alec shocked voice sounded behind Jian.
"Kyle?"
"Huh?"
With a dumbfounded expression, Jian hurriedly cleared his messy red hair and looked at the figure. It was Kyle!
"How are you here?"
He shouted while looking at Kyle with wide eyes. Then suddenly Jian saw his hair. Unlike before the corner of Kyle's hair was glowing more obviously like silver.
"What happened to your hair?"
Kyle was also confused but then he blinked his eyes while looking at the duo.
"Will you believe me if I said a strange portal forcefully kidnapped me?"
"Also, I think I am getting old that's why my hair is turning white."
Both Alec and Jian looked at Kyle and became speechless.
While they were talking, another small portal appeared a few meters above Jian's head who almost freaked out when he saw the portal.
A small fist-size figure came out from the portal but the figure stabilized itself in the air before it crashed on someone else.
Kyle looked at the small bird who just started flying after coming out from the portal and sighed with relief.
"It's good you are fine."
Bia looked at Kyle with moist eyes. She flapped her wings and hurriedly flew toward Kyle before sitting on top of his head.
-'I thought I was dead when the portal suddenly sucked me inside.'
While Bia was talking, Kyle looked down at the ground because he felt a slight burning sensation under his feet.
The ground was completely red, with light smoke coming out from the soil.
Kyle coated his feet with mana and looked around only to see large volcanoes, lava lakes, and burnt-red ground before looking at Alec and Jian who were staring at him with wide eyes.
The moment Kyle saw them, he knew he was on the seventh floor of the Tower but the question was, how was he here?
Kyle's thoughts were disturbed by a surprised voice coming directly from the sky.
Kyle looked at the sky and saw a middle-aged horned man floating toward him.
The man was wearing dark clothes. His eyes which had red lines instead of pupils were staring directly at Kyle with curiosity.
"Hmm, another person arrived on my floor? Wasn't the test over a long time ago, so why are you so late?"
The curiosity in the man's eyes vanished after a second as it questioned Kyle with an indifferent voice.
Kyle shook his head while staring directly at the floating man.
"I don't know."
The man gazed at Kyle with narrowed eyes and flicked his index finger. A strange engraving appeared on Kyle's wrist.
"Well, it doesn't matter how you arrived here. I put the counter on your wrist. You can ask the other two for more information."
After pointing at Alec and Jian, the floating man turned around and disappeared into the clouds.
This time the man wasn't sleepy because first, Kyle's appearance was a surprise. Second, he didn't feel Kyle's presence when he arrived on his floor.
'What a strange kid. If I remember correctly, I think it's because of the earring?'
If not for the commotion Jian and Alec caused the man wouldn't even have known that Kyle appeared on his floor!
After the middle-aged man disappeared, both Alec and Jian looked at Kyle who was a little confused about the 0 number engraved on his wrist.
Both of them wanted to know how Kyle appeared on this floor but Kyle just sighed with confusion because he was also surprised suddenly seeing them standing in front of him.
With a distant sigh, Jian put his hand on Kyle's shoulder.
"Bro, I don't know how you appeared on this floor but I think it's time for me to tell you about the hardship you are going to face."
Kyle looked at Jian who was making a very sad expression. Bia was also curious after listening to Jian's words.
Within a few minutes, Jian narrated everything. How he and Alec suffered after appearing on this floor. He also told Kyle about the floor rules and the strange number on his wrist.
"So basically, you need to find and Kill 1000 fire skeletons."
Jian said and hurriedly gestured for Kyle to climb up a large stone present nearby because his feet were burning.
The stone was the only place that wasn't hot.
After hearing Jian's explanation, Kyle's expression was a little grim.
He wasn't worried about the temperature because unlike Alec and Jian he had a passive skill 'Fire resistance'. That's why he was not like them who were sweating buckets.
Bia was also not affected by the high temperature as she was a fire Phoenix.
The main problem was finding the Fire skeletons!
Kyle could easily kill them with the help of Bia but finding them on such a big floor was like finding needles.
Even Jian and Alec only found 300+ something fire skeletons after roaming around this floor for a whole week!
On the other hand, Alec shook his head with a sigh. Just now he tried to sense Kyle Rank and the result? He sensed nothing!
"What did I expect?"
With a bitter smile, he looked at the system appraisal result.
'Name: Kyle Ohan'
'Race: Human'
'Special: ??'
'???'
Trying to find the cause! Loading....
No more information provided. The target is wearing a high-grade presence concealing Artifact.
While Alec was thinking, Jian looked at Kyle.
"So, what's the plan?"
After pondering for a while, Kyle spoke seriously.
"You said some of the fire skeletons crawled out from the lava lakes. How about going to a nearby volcano? Maybe we can find a lot of fire skeletons there?"
Alec and Jian both looked at Kyle strangely. They were sweating buckets because of the heat and he wanted to go toward the Volcano.
Still, they didn't voice their thoughts as the temperature wasn't unbearable. Both of them were powerful enough to cope with this much.
