You approach the tower’s gates. You were unable to find clothes for you large and powerfully built frame. It is simple wood, with a large crystal knocker on it. It glides open when you approach. A soft chime fills the air.
“Oh gods, as if my day wasn’t. . . Ahh, greetings visitor! Welcome to my tower! I am Silanius the-“
He cuts off as he glides down the stair and goggles at you.
“-Did you eat a god or something? Even with the accelerated time table, we may still have a chance!“ He huffs and turns around to go back upstairs.
“Well come on, we got to figure this out. “
You go up the stairs behind the wizard, climbing high before you enter a room with hundreds of books and several comfortable chairs.
“Honestly, we don’t have time for the mystical bullshit, sorry,” The wizard leaned over the desk from his chair and rubbed his eyes. His beard stretched down to the table. He jabbed a finger at a parchment.
“The Ascendency are coming. Hundreds of warships flying across dimensions, coming here. This is what spurred the Abyss to strike, to pillage as much of they could of this world before they arrived.”
“On top of that, the Chosen One is running around going from strength to strength. She should be next on your list-“
“You are looking confused, I should explain. Our organization works across many worlds like this one, building networks and stopping disasters. The Council has plans involving creating a Chosen One to steer history into a desired path, while we needed someone to counter her.”
“The master was passing by when your mother prayed for you to be strong. He was looking for a candidate and granted her wish, giving you the ability to draw strength from the world around you. The Abyss attack was indeed unexpected and threw everything into a bit of chaos, but you have adapted admirably! King of Mankind, huh? A powerful choice. Just beware the Chosen One, if she gets wind that you are draining the life of humanity on this planet, she will try to take you out before you do too much damage.”
A lot of this flew over your head.
