Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

When James opened his eyes again, he realised that he was on a wall. The sounds of agonised shouting, metal clashing, cannons exploding and hundreds of growls echoed in his ears.

While he was still trying to understand what was happening, a huge window appeared before his eyes:

[Protect Persephone's Statue

Persephone, the precious daughter of Zeus and Demeter, left a statue in the tower many years ago. This statue provided perfect fertility to the huge city in which it was located. The precious statue of Persephone, the goddess of fertility, has protected this gigantic city for thousands of years, but it has also attracted a curse to the city. A curse that Persephone put without knowing it.

Monsters are targeting the statue of the great goddess to enter the path of godhood. Eliminate the monster threat and protect the statue.

Mission Reward: ?

Mission Penalty: Death.]

Before James could realise what was happening, a voice came from his right:

"SIEGE TOWER!!!"

Turning towards the man from where the voice came from, James saw where the man was pointing and saw two siege towers approaching the city walls.

While he was trying to understand what was happening out of fear, the doors of the siege towers opened and green, short, ugly, smiling and strange creatures with strange bodies began to come out of them.

These were goblins and their numbers were quite high.

[Goblin (Level 5)]

[Goblin (Level 3)]

[Goblin (Level 8)]

James seemed to freeze as he saw the flesh and blood monsters in front of him and realised that their level was many times higher than his own.

One of the goblins, which had begun to attack the people on the wall, suddenly turned towards him and began to move slowly.

Even as James realised that the focus was on him, he stayed where he was out of fear, he could feel his blood freeze.

"Is that a tutorial? There are monsters many times stronger than me at the beginning of the tutorial, I can't even imagine what will happen when I get near the end....it is hell." thought James, trying to move but failing.

The goblin chuckled a little when it saw that James wasn't trying to escape and then lunged at him, a huge blow was about to end his life when a sudden shout and a huge sword stabbed in front of the area James was at.

"HUAAGGH!'"

A huge man stood in front of James and held the goblin by the throat with his hand and lifted it into the air.

"You piece of crap, are you the bastards who tried to approach Persephone's statue?"

As soon as the man spoke, his thick but low voice echoed off the wall. Without even shouting, that side of the battlefield paused for a second.

"Kueghh..."

The goblin, struggling to break free, had stopped where it was, and in a few seconds, the goblin had suffocated to death.

"What are those levels even?"

James realised that his blood had thawed and he could move. He was breathing deeply and trying to relax himself. Just then another window opened in front of him:

[Rare Achievement Won!

For the first time, meet someone who has received a blessing from the god.

You get a chance to choose a card.]

As James read the window and closed it, three cards appeared in front of him. The cards were [green], [blue] and [green] respectively.

He, of course, reached for the blue card without thinking and took it.

[Calm Mind (Rare)

It's easier to keep your sanity in dangerous situations.]

"You are a smart man, high levels are not everything all the time but that does not mean you won't be able to do anything to them! Go use your brain, use your body. GET UP SOLDIER!"

James looked up from the ability he had gained with the voice he suddenly heard and then looked at the man in front of him:

[Leno (Blessed by Persephone)(NPC)]

"Yes, sir!" James suddenly pulled himself together and looked around, finding a sword with scratches on it he reached for it and gripped it tightly before looking back at Leno.

"Well done soldier, now go and do your best to save this city blessed by the goddess!'"

With Leno's words, James seemed to realise what was happening around him. When he looked inside the city, he realised that the city was literally in smoke.

Thousands of people were in the city, maybe tens of thousands of people were in the city, from the people running around to those trying to protect them.

Still, James was sure of one thing, what he had to do now was not to freeze, but to go through this hellish tutorial. The more he killed the more he would win and he would finally be able to take that gamble:

"Wait for me gacha!" James suddenly said and with that, he started down the stairs of the wall. There were already too many soldiers on the wall and the soldiers below looked like they needed help.

The mission was clearly to protect the statue but he didn't know if he was strong enough for that right now, that was why he had to get stronger, whatever he did had to be his goal right now.

"Kyaaaa!"

James looked up to where the scream had come from and saw one of the goblins coming through the city gate. He couldn't quite understand why there were siege towers despite the shattered city gate, but that wasn't something he needed to worry about right now.

Looking towards the goblin, James saw the inscription on the monster and smiled.

[Goblin (Level 2)]

This was a monster he could handle, and knowing that made everything easier. Suddenly he lunged at the goblin and with a shoulder blow knocked the goblin to the ground.

As the fallen goblin writhed in pain, James jumped on top of the goblin and raised his sword in the air and pierced the goblin's head.

The goblin died before it could even make a sound, revealing something James had not expected to see:

[Common Achievement Won!

For the first time ever, the kill achievement has been earned.

Unfortunately, this achievement does not grant an ability. Instead, the tower will grant you [1 power stat] to congratulate you on your achievement.

+1 Power.]

As soon as he read what was written in the window in front of him, he felt something changed in his body, and when he looked at his arms, he could see them growing.

"Th...thank you, Mr Knight, thank you very much!" James shook his head as he looked carefully at the woman screaming and saw the crying baby in her arms. The realism of it all reminded him once again:

He might have left his previous life behind, but everything that was happening now was real, he was thinking it so, and if he failed, the statue might fall, and when it fell, the people here might fall to their deaths, including himself. The statue had to be protected.

He had to protect the statue.
