“Gaia, why are there 13 moons in the sky?” Kent asked, staring at the strange yet beautiful moons above. Each one looked unique, with different colors and shapes.
One was blue, with a part bitten off like Eve’s apple.
Another was bright red with a gaping hole in its center.
The third was green, its edges jagged like broken glass.
The fourth was dark, its outline sharp as razors.
The fifth was silver, glowing faintly, with cracks across its surface.
The sixth was golden, smooth, and polished like a perfect orb.
The seventh was purple, swirling with misty patterns that seemed alive.
The eighth was orange, shaped like a crescent with uneven points.
The ninth was black, so dense it seemed to absorb all light.
The tenth was white, pure, glowing softly like snow under moonlight.
The eleventh was pink, dotted with shimmering sparkles that danced like stars.
The twelfth was bronze, dull but sturdy, with visible dents and scratches.
The thirteenth was yellow, glowing fiercely, its surface bubbling like molten lava.
[This miniature world is created from the master’s consciousness. This means that, in a way, a trait of your envisioning shaped this world and created it.]
“Hmm, then I guess I have a sense of humor. This place is just weird yet surprisingly perfect. Looking at it makes me feel complete in a way, yet incomplete.”
Kent ran his eyes across the 13 rooms once more before moving toward the Golden Tower.
Gaia had told him there was only one tower, but it contained many towers. As to what that meant, he was about to find out. After all, he was the master of the tower(s).
“Huh, Tower, how are there modern lights on you? Isn’t this supposed to be a cultivation world where everything is weird?”
Lights surrounded the tower. In fact, at night, it looked like a Christmas tree decoration. These kinds of things couldn’t be found in cultivation worlds.
This meant one thing: the tower had done something weird and would probably continue to do so for who knows how long.
[The design of the tower and everything it holds is from the master’s previous world. I liked it, and since the master is familiar with it, I wanted to bring it to life here.
B-But if you don’t like it, I will change it to look more isekai for you.]
Kent could tell Gaia didn’t really want to change the design she had created. In fact, he wasn’t about to ask her to change it. He kind of liked it.
“Let’s keep it like that, Tower. I don’t mind, and it’ll be good to have my precious world here in my domain. It’ll help me remember my past and where I came from.”
Though he couldn’t return to Earth just yet, he knew that in a few years, he would be able to. For now, he had more important things to use the compass for than going back to Earth for revenge.
He had made peace with his death. However, if he ever got his hands on those who killed him, he would love nothing more than to torture them.
Now that he has the tower prison, he can bring them back with him and continue torturing them tell they grow old and die.
When he appeared in front of the Tower, a golden light beam descended on him like a futuristic teleporter. He was sucked into the tower.
Well, a Bifrost bridge would be a more accurate name for what the tower had cooked up—just that his own was golden in color instead of multicolored.
[Welcome to the Tower, Master. As you can see, this place is the admin room. You have access to everything, but to make it much more fun, I created this room, which I will be the only one to use anyway.
But I just wanted to show you. I hope you like it.]
Kent stared at the screens, which showed some of the important towers in the room. On one screen, a pink tower named Harem is plastered on it. Others displayed Sword, Servant, Guardian, Alchemy, Soul, and Legion.
But those weren’t the only screens there. There were others with their names displayed on them:
Tower City, Tower Shop, Tower Storage, Tower Prison.
The place was just too disturbing in a way, but Kent knew the Tower just wanted to have fun. He didn’t care—as long as she played her role well, they wouldn’t have a problem.
“Say, Tower, can you change your form when I’m around?” Kent asked. Having a tower following him was cute but, in a way, disturbing.
[Sure.]
Like she said, she could indeed take other forms, and she did. The Tower glowed, and in the next second, a cute little fairy appeared.
Kent felt uncomfortable in a way, but that feeling was wiped away when a bandana appeared around her head, and then a bandit hat sat on top of that.
Her small wings also turned transparent, and like a pirate, she smiled at Kent, making him wonder whether he should tell her to change again.
But he did not.
Whatever makes her happy. Vexthra did say the Tower is sentient.
“Take me to the Tower Shop,” Kent said.
“Aye, Captain!” she replied with a cheeky grin, crossing her tiny arms. “Follow me, and we’ll plunder the finest treasures this shop o’ yours has to offer, arr!”
Kent wanted to give her a slap, but she was just too tiny, with no surface area to slap. But once again, whatever makes her happy.
They vanished, and the next second, they appeared in a room filled with smaller screens, each displaying an image of something.
Kent immediately approached a screen that was showing a skill book. He looked at the screen that displayed its name, grade, rank and description, and Price.

“Not bad, not bad at all. I like this shop room,” Kent said, smiling after reading through more than twenty screens. It reminded him of online shopping back on Earth.
“Gaia, can you make a screen similar to this in any room of my choosing? It would be best to have a screen where I and my women can browse through the store.”
[That won’t be a problem. But the master must know that some items can’t be accessed just yet since most will be added as you grow stronger.
For now, you have access up to the Divine grade.]
“That’s not an issue. I don’t need skill books for now anyway.” Kent loved the shop room. Hundreds of skill books, weapons, clothes, armor, and other treasures could benefit anyone.
“Gaia, you mentioned me needing to buy some talismans to speed up the absorption rate of soul essence from the bead.”
[Yes. But since the master will be using the Soul Tower, buying them wouldn’t be of much use.]
“I see. In that case, give me my two rewards before I forget. Also, you should reward my ladies and the ones to come. On Earth, in some countries, there’s something called a grand opening sale.
It’s where your first ten customers, after opening a store, are given items for free.”
Kent grinned like a bandit.
