As of three days ago, Towers of Heaven finally finished the editing process and entered the market. You can either read it through the Kindle Unlimited program or purchase it for only $2.99. I must say that the edited version is of remarkably better quality.

Alright. The plan moving forward is to get 10 chapters up on ******* before posting them to webnovel. There are only four chapters up there right now (excluding this one).

In the alternate past, the thirtieth floor of the tower was considered the end of the lower floors and the beginning of the middle floors. Even though it wasn't that high of a floor, it was still filled with people until the end times. Besides the dungeons that provided endless gear and materials, the war between the six kingdoms raged on.

Residents of the tower were separated into two groups on this floor. Peasants and n.o.bles. The peasants were allocated land were upon they would farm and grow crops. They would provide the kingdom they belonged to with their product for a small profit. The only other occupation they had was to become a soldier and wage war against the other kingdoms.

The n.o.bles were residents of the tower who were considerably wealthy. They generally held important positions in the kingdom like owning a business or serving the king as a minister.

The war between the six kingdoms would continue until they were eventually wiped out by monster hordes. In the end, no kingdom was able to unite the floor. Jason planned to rectify this now that he returned to the past, but now was not the time. He had just finished clearing the undead floors and finally reached the thirtieth floor. He was not yet powerful enough to stand up to a kingdom, much less five of them.

Creating a skill, raising Tank, and unlocking Killing Intent early dealt a heavy blow to his strength. So over the past two weeks, Jason worked hard to catch up to Roy and Olivia in levels. It had been two weeks since his father died. During this time, Jason settled his emotions and finally recovered to a decent level, reaching level 52.

Jason entered an inn in the residential district and glanced around.

"Over here!" Roy called out from the back of the inn, a bright smile spreading across his lips.

Jason strode over to the table Roy and Olivia were at and sat down. He thought it would be awkward, but Roy seemed unfazed. "Hey, it's nice to see you again. I'm sooo happy that those undead floors are long gone."

"It was pretty depressing." Olivia gave a nod. The undead floors lacked sunlight and was dark and dreary. It affected their mood greatly.

Jason sat quietly as he listened to Roy prattle on about his adventures through the last few floors. It was nice, coming back to Roy. His seemingly endless energy affected Jason more than he thought. It was like everything would be alright as long as Roy was around.

When Roy finally stopped talking, Jason took a deep breath and turned to Olivia. "About before, I just wanted to say, thanks for stopping me."

Olivia nodded. "No problem."

Roy leaned forward. "What's this about?"

Jason shook his head lightly. "Nothing."

"Hmmm." Roy grumbled to himself.

Jason pulled out two books and handed them over to his companions. They looked down in confusion. It wasn't a skill book, but rather seemed like a regular book from outside the tower. "What's this?"

Jason tapped a book with his finger. "Floors thirty-one to thirty-five are a bit special. It will be useful no matter how far in the tower you reach. Much like before, these floors are combined into one and are a solo floor."

"Aww." Roy's shoulder fell as he pouted. "I thought we would finally be together again."

Olivia opened her book and took a quick glance through it. "I've heard a bit about this floor. Apparently it was quite hard for the first ascenders who arrived there. Over time, as more knowledge was acquired, the floor became somewhat easier."

"Who's this Index person?" Roy pointed at a name on the book.

"Never heard of them." Olivia shook her head.

Jason coughed lightly. Another thing he did over the past two weeks was spend a significant amount of time creating this book. It was basically a guide for the so-called 'kingdom' floor. He uploaded it to internet for free, so that humanity would have a better chance moving forward. It was already causing quite the sensation, and left even the top-tier guilds in awe.

Jason explained calmly. "This is a guidebook to help you build your kingdom. It was released on the internet not long ago, and even the top-tier guilds rate it highly."

"Building a kingdom?" Roy tilted his head.

Jason nodded. "Remember when I said there are a few floors that are strange? This floor is one of them. In this one, you are kind of like an omnipotent and omniscient G.o.d. You start with a small group of peasants and must build a settlement by commanding them with your mind. There's literally no danger here, but keep one thing in mind. If you lose all your territory, you will lose access to the floor, forever."

Olivia added from the side. "Even the top-tier guilds keep returning to this floor to manage their kingdom. If done right, you can acquire materials and equipment, among other things."

"That's so strange! And cool!" Roy opened the book and began to read through it. A second later, he glanced up at Jason. "Where's your book?"

"Ah." Jason waved his hand. "I already read through it."

Roy nodded before returning to his book. For the next hour, Olivia and Roy read through the guide book. Jason trained as he waited. Underneath the table, he mutilated his legs with battle energy. He tried his best to keep a straight face.

"Whew!" Roy closed the book with a thud. "There is so much to know. I bet those first ascenders lost their territory pretty quickly, huh?"

Olivia closed the book a second later. "Thanks to them, we have a fighting chance."

Jason smiled at Roy. "So, what type of kingdom do you want to build?"

Roy pointed at the ceiling. "Arrr, I want to build a seafaring kingdom. The book only mentioned it briefly, saying that it's still uncharted territory. I want to be the first to conquer it!"

"Ugh." Jason found himself burying his face in his hands. He had made this book in hopes that Roy would choose a safe path. In the end, he only ended up encouraging him to pick a dangerous route.

Roy turned to Olivia. "What about you?"

"Hmm." Olivia touched her chin with a finger. "I want to make money, so I think I'll build a kingdom specialized in making potions."

Roy nodded repeatedly. "Great. Maybe you can supply our guild with potions. Most of the money I spend is spent on potions, it's ridiculous! Those alchemists must make a b.u.t.t-load of money."

Roy turned to Jason and waited expectantly. Jason tapped the table. "If you must know, I'm going to specialize in mining and creating equipment."

Roy muttered to himself. "These guys have no sense of adventure!"

Olivia's eyebrow twitched. Roy jumped to his feet, practically trembling with excitement. "I'm all hyped up after reading that book. I'm going to start my kingdom right away."

Jason tapped his communications necklace. "We can still communicate while you're in G.o.d-mode. If anybody has any questions, just ask."

"Good to know." Roy sped towards the entrance of the inn. "I'm off!"

Jason stood up. "I guess I'll get going too."

Olivia grabbed Jason's shoulder and held him back. He looked back in confusion. She stated simply. "Training."

Jason grimaced. "Fine, fine. Once a day, we'll meet at the colosseum, okay?"

Olivia pulled back her arm and let out a rare smile. "That's a promise."

Together, they headed towards the portal leading to the thirty-first floor.
