Chapter Text


Arc III: 

Dark Paradise

 

 

The Administrators of the Tower had grown restless.

 

Ever since the Irregulars Jahad and his twelve courtiers entered the Tower, the changes that happened along in their journey sparked disturbing events. 

 

Enryu decimating the 43rd floor Administrator, Jahad crowning himself at the 134th floor, and Arlene Grace contracting with a god outside the Tower… 

 

The Administrator on the floor where the Khun family resided, has decided. 

 

Especially since Eduan hid a child with a power of god underground, the Administrator scattered some of its essences to others in case that monstrous boy annihilated the said Administrator. 

 

Thus, a child of Eduan inherited one of its storms

 

It was bound to awaken at some point, and Eduan mourned for his daughter. All was according to plan as Eduan placed his son next to the child of Arlene, because the Administrator needs a part of it beside the god-like boy. 

 

If the Administrator doesn’t survive the next tilting of this Tower’s axis, then perhaps Eduan’s son with its essence might. 

 

The Administrator watched as Khun Eduan transferred leadership rights to another member of his family, announcing to leave the floor again. He didn’t give much reason but the Administrator figured it could be somewhere along the lines of making plans and gathering secret allies to rebel against Jahad.

 

Not that the Administrator was interested. 

 

Its curiosity was much more invested in the children Eduan left. 

 

A child blessed with god’s power from the outside, and a boy cursed with a blizzard inside...

 

Will they tilt the Tower to a new era?

 


 

Notes:

First of all, I apologize for the unannounced hiatus. If anyone of my readers are also following my twitter, I guess you had an idea of why I took a break here which I'll explain later.

I really have fun writing this story, it's like my mini-break from schoolwork. Since it was just the first few weeks when I uploaded, my schedule was not really tight. As the semester goes on, the volume of my schoolwork increased, having no time to write. (I always have a few chapters in advance and promise to update as I finish one). I promised an M-W-F update, and I realized it's not possible anymore with my workload. Plus, I'm scared of burnout as a writer.

Second, I posted a new fic: a vampire khunbam au which was 21k+ words (check it out on my profile if interested), which well, distracted me from writing this. But I can assure you this story has an outline for each chapter, I am actually excited for each arc. Oh well, I'll keep quiet. This is the third arc out of eight arcs <3

For the schedule, I'll try to update weekly, since it's the most relaxed schedule for me.

Enjoy this treat. And congratulations to everyone, SIU blogged that ToG will return mid-November.
