"Don’t mind it, Mr.Colt, hes just curious and comparing his knowledge to mine; there’s nothing to be ashamed of; moving along, as I said, with hundreds of thousands of runes, it is quite easy to observe the northeast quadrant as a jumble of nothingness, but this site is where nearly everything pertaining to the Fully formed PermaInstance Tower is dictated."
"From how quests are populated to the basic structuring of each floor…" Pausing due to getting a reaction from the peanut gallery, I continued.
"You heard me correctly. I said floors. As I previously stated, this Tower will be unlike anything we have ever dealt with before in the case of instances and is more like our present situation with the Event Quests."
"Somehow, Draven, or someone working for him, has figured out a way to adapt the quest protocols handed down by Arkadia and is using them as a means to advance to higher floors, each one pertaining to the levels within a rank."
"So you are saying that this tower will act as a training ground for these Pseudo-Rankers?" One of the people standing beside Erik, some higher up in Stillwater, asked.
"That is what I believe, yes; as for the structure of these floors, it is all detailed in this section here," using my red marker, I circled large portions of runes near the top of the quadrant.
"Each peak represents a different Rank, Non-Rank, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, and from what I am seeing here, each of these ranks is in conjuncture with one of the Mountain Peaks, starting from the bottom being Non-Rank, the skyward peak at the top Delta."
"I assume that each peak will act as either an intake or exhaust for Specific Particle Types as well; however, the information I can surmise from the Runes is far too little to be certain."
Without making eye contact with my brother or Father, I delved deeper for their ears…er…minds only.
’That’s not the whole truth, though. It is only bait; I have a very good feeling about their purpose being to aid in the acclimation of Earth to higher particle forms long before the descent of Arkadia.’
’If my theory is correct, by clearing the floors and moving toward the next level or peak, Particles will be expelled from the in question peak, creating a utopia for rankers out of the surrounding territory, but since it is merely a theory, I am keeping that between us,’
"Is there any information about the Quests, or is it set to be randomly generated through some form of RNG?" Fredrick asked, expressing his coding or maybe gamer knowledge, causing everyone to look at him again, mainly out of confusion about the meaning of his words, especially the term RNG.
"There is a preprogrammed algorithm that has been established…, or at least Arkadia controls; that’s what I see; it could be deeper than that, but it seems to be adaptive due to the length of time it takes to clear the quests."
"From what I’ve found, there are several different types written in the runes; however, it also could be error coding, so I don’t want to put too much stock on that information."
"If you think it is a possibility, I think we should at the very least hear about them so that we can be prepared for what is to come." Another person said this one is from one of the USAHA Guilds.
"Subjugation quests, fetch quests, Protecting Captured territory, puzzles, if you’ve ever played a Role Playing Game, it’s all pretty bog standard stuff if I’m being honest. Think of these floor quests as a large-scale version of the Gate Trials; only, unlike with the Trials, the Quests have actual rewards this time."
"Rewards?" Erik said, as his eyes narrowed, and it wasn’t just him either; nearly everyone in the room seemed to shift with hints of greed radiating off them.
"Yes, as I said, the Tower carries the purpose of training the new Generation of Elite Rankers; as such, by completing each floor Quest and moving up…players, as they are dubbed in the runes, will earn rewards indicative of their performance, all of which can be practically anything."
"It is my assumption that none of the Pseudo-Rankers will have access to the Shop Functions and, as such, will be able to earn their resources in a multitude of ways, one of which is through completing floor quests."
"There is also a ranking board attached to each Peak, with higher rewards for higher clear grades. However, I don’t expect any of the stuff below The Second Peak will be relevant or even usable by us, as they can be considered trash items whose purpose is to aid the Pseudo-Rankers in adapting to what we had to back in the Origin Timeline."
"Which brings me to my next point, as you all seem to be so clear about expressing your resource greed," snorting in discontent and causing everyone but Erik to shift and look down or away, I jumped into the biggest topic I had found.
"Entering and Exiting the Tower." The words Entering and Exiting caused everyone to sit a little straighter and prickle their ears.
"Before anyone gets the thought in their head that they will be able to bullrush their way through the floors and earn top honors and such, let me be brutally honest with you all…"

Pausing for effect, I struggled to hide a smirk from forming on my lips.
"For any Returner to enter the Tower of Undead, we must first purchase a Token from Arkadia, the starting cost of which is 1000 High Alpha Coins, and that’s only for the First token; for anyone after that, the price increased by a factor of 5."
Silence, complete and utter silence, filled the room as everyone’s plans of earning riches evaporated in an instant, but I wasn’t finished there.
"And that’s not all either; there is no exit, or at least there won’t be one until Arkadia’s Descent; instead, we will be forced to purchase a Return Crystal to leave the Tower, and that follows the same cost ratio as the Entrance Token."
