Appreciating his new status, Liam started to refocus his attention to the crowd around him.
Craty people vying to create parties they can lead without entering combat themselves. Due to how scared some people were or the fact they may have gotten a bad class, many joined these groups.
A familiar voice rang out beside Liam, striking his reverie.
"Yer lookin' pleased, seems you gotta decent class kid. Seems like many are startin' to naturally sort themselves into groups. No doubt there's gonna be power struggles soon enough. Probably a couple high profile cowards on that bunch that are trying to buy their way to the top."
"Are you going to join any of them?" Liam asked.
"Nah, that ain't my sorta thing. We don't know enough about what the Tower of whatyamacallit can do. And you?"
"It's not a horrible idea to form a hunting group, but we don't know about the limits of the Tower of Trials. There could be party limits or health and damage scaling that are both common in many games." Liam speculated and pondered for a second.
"Probably not, Group dynamics has always been a sore spot so I might try going solo for a while if I can survive, if not then I can reconsider"
"That's fair enough kid, keep yourself safe." Jason called out walking away.

[The Tower of Trials, Tento, is now open for exploration. Those who do not enter the tower at least once a month will be forced to enter in order to keep the everyone progressing. Please enjoy your stay]
"That's sounds like a pain for anyone with non-combat classes, if they exist. There could just be secondary professions like in many MMOs, but it's not impossible"
A short while later, everyone drifted from the obelisk through the park square and made their way to the base of the Tower.
The park square before the Tower acted as an entrance and a facade for the danger it possessed.
The marble sculpted walls that would be any archaeological architects dream, reminiscent of old roman buildings, murals of battles with horrors and fables detailing the never ending tower, weathered and oxidised proudly displaying the history of the ancient tower.
9 rings of the tower are visible from the park, reaching up into the clouds where there is assuredly to be even more waiting.
Eager for escape of for battle, groups and individuals rushed into the tower at the risk of their potential peril. It isn't known whether this tower had a likeness to games where you can infinitely respawn, the cautious staying in the park until they had answers from members of their parties they sent in.
"Although I'm curious whats in the tower, exploring where we were transported to seems to be a better idea. Get a feel for the environment. It's only a matter of time before I'll be forced to climb anyway."
With that line of thought, Liam set off to explore the surroundings of the park and beyond.
