《The Angel System: Outer Heaven》Chapter 4: The Tower of Babbel
Advertisement
“What is this?” Lucius said as he opened the red box.
System Message
This is the unreadable Codex, a system designed for you, Lucius the chosen. All other Angels cannot read or see this system. It is one solely designed for you.
To activate this system's other mechanics, such as the skill tree, abilities and Angel Transcending, you must reach level 2. To obtain your first quest, speak to Adam, and enter the tower of Babbel.
"Heh this is getting interesting" Lucius said. "Looks like I've obtained a special book that no one else here can read, I can use this"
"Tell me Lucius, what do you mean by videogame! What is the Codex telling you!"
"First, tell me how do I get to Lucas and Evelynn" Lucius said.
Adam let out a sigh and carefully stroked his chin.
"You still lack a halo" Adam answered. "You need it in order to travel."
"And where do I get this halo?"
"In the east there is a great tower, known as the tower of Babel. It's located outside of our realm can you see it?" Adam asked.
Lucius strethced his eyes to the east and witnessed a huge tower ascending above the clouds. It was so tall that it seemin gly had no end to it, continuing endlessly intot he sky.
"You are free to leave and enter this realm, but for all the others you require a halo. The tower is where you can recieve one. Since you are already an Angel, you will be able to enter from the 70th floot, which is basically our ground level here. If you are able to maintain this level during flight you should arrive directly where you need to be.
"I see" Lucius said
"Each floor of the tower poses a challenge, some of them are physical, others are mental, or even spiritual, if you manage to make it to floor 80 you will be able to travel to the realms you please." Adam said.

"And what lies on floor 100?" Lucius asked.
"Truth," Adam answered. "As well as the golden halo that can get you back to earth." Adam said.
"I don't like this" Lucius thought "There is so much I don't know about this world, and he seems to be gatekeeping the knowledge from me until I figure out this book." Lucius thought looking down at the Codex.
"Fine," Lucius said. "Ill get to the 80th floor, find Evelynn and then Lucas, and head back to earth, after that you can have everything in this Codex" He said.
"Excellent!" Adam said. "I wish you holy grace, may the eyes of the creator watch over you."
"Tsk," Lucius said. "Some Heaven this is."
System Message Quest Recieved, Reach the tower of Babbel to reach Level 2
“Oh and Lucius one more thing" Adam said "I haven’t explained how things work. Here in Outer Heaven anyone can start from floor 0 and become an angel just like you, you have been given the privilege of starting from the 70th floor. However, if you are to die, you will return the the floor of Eden which is floor 0 and be stuck there for eternity.”
“What!” Lucius said. "Why is my brother on the 0 floor?" He thought
“Yes, those who fail this challenge are stuck in Eden, you are free to remain an angel here if you’d like and live an easy life, but you will never encounter your brother or fiance again."
"I'm sure if I ask you aren't going to tell me, so I'll hold off on how people are chosen to get to each floor for now." Lucius said.
"But tell me, there is another person from my history, his name is Judo, There is no way someone like him made it into this devine place is there?" Lucius said.

"Judo is in one of the dominoins suffering the rath of hell" Adam answered. "He had no place here."
"Good," Lucius answered. "As long as he's away from Evelynn, thats all I care about,"
"Evelynn" Lucius said taking off. "I'll save you soon enough."
“Master” One of the angels said “Why did you lie to him? You need him to progress through that book so you can obtain its information from him, one way or another he had to leave this place.”
“Thats true” Adam said. “But he doesn’t need to know that for now. If he finds out how important revelations is, he could destroy outer heaven.” Adam answered
“Is it that powerful of a Codex?” The angel asked
“You have no idea, its rumored that even just its first page can level a giant, which is why I have sent Julius to watch over him.”
“Julius? Why would you send that power hungry maniac to watch over Lucius? He will just end up killing him!”
“Two birds with one stone” Adam laughed. “The second bird being julius ofcoarse.”
"Thats all good and well, but what will he do when he learns of Evelynn and Judo's fate?" The angel asked.
"By the time is able to do something about that, the revaltion will have already been finished." Adam said. "And We will know the creators name once more."
Lucius came to a giant tower with ancient engravings all the way down its surfaces. It shone brightly as it penetrated the clouds, ascending upward in a twist towards the sky.
“This land is absolutely beautiful” Lucius said lookin garound “Its a view I would have loved to share with you Evelynn” He said sorrowfully. “No time for lamenting, I’m goin gto enter this tower and get you back!” He yelled racing into the tower.
“Ancient herald of the King of fate.” A giant voice boomed.
“What.. what the hell is that!”
A giant two headed lion with the body of a Sphynx spoke to him with a deep booming voice. Incryption of anceint hieroglyphics were written all across its body, and a red jewel rested in the center of its forehead, radiating a crimson light.
“Holder of the book of Revelations, the end times have come, what is your message of fate? Will you choose light or darkness?"
Quest completed! Access to the Evangelion system has been granted

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you. Working forces is difficult in the Age of Man, and gods are limited in the ways they interact with the world. The great monsters of old have mostly been slain, or sealed away. But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
