《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

It basically means that I lost the ability to control my muscles. Its just like Lou Gehrig and Stephen Hawking. By the time I was 6 years old, I was living in a hospital, and from there things progressively got worse. I cannot walk, talk, eat or even go to the bathroom by myself. But there is one thing I can do. Playing games. The advent of Virtual Reality during my early teens greatly alleviated my problems. In the games I can be who I want, what I want. A mighty warrior, a powerful spellcaster, the charming rogue. The crafter. The builder. All sorts of games have come and gone over the years, rising and falling with each advance in VR technology and the ever-increasing power of the Artificial Intelligence's that control them. But now a new actor has taken to the stage. Solar Dynamics, Inc. has unveiled not only the first fully immersive 'deep' Dive Pod, but their flagship game puts all other VR games to shame.

Fly spaceships across the universe, conquer planets, create custom technology. Mine, Build, Destroy. Explore. Rule. Do you have what it takes the control the Universe? I'm going to do my best to find out! -NOTE: This story is MATURE, and such has graphic fight scenes, blood and gore. Also cursing. Quite a bit of that in some cases. Sex may also be involved. -NOTE: Like my other story, UO is a work in progress. The storyline, characters, and other things are still in the drafting stages. Also, excuse my spelling and grammar errors!
