Damian and Alanna had reached the end of that narrow tunnel leading to an open area, and at that point, they were on higher ground, so the moment they appeared there, all the other humans down there stared at them.

It gave them an awkward feeling, but it soon vanished as everyone took over their gazes from them, focusing their attention on something more interesting.

"What do you think is happening here?" Alanna said, looking at Damian.

"No idea, but it's surely something big, or these humans wouldn't be here."

They wouldn't get the answer to that question just by thinking about the possibilities, and the only way to get an accurate answer was to go down there and mingle with the other humans or at least wait until something happened.

Damian saw that many of those humans did not know each other, yet they weren't attacking, meaning it was probably safe to go there.

He was unsure, but it was better to go there than stay on top of that hill looking like a fool. Also, when Alanna looked down, she saw her friends standing there, saying, "Look, Damian, these are my friends! Come!"

Alanna was excited to meet them, leaving beside Damian first, who had to follow her, or else they would separate again. That was not ideal, considering they were in an odd situation.

"Hey!" Alanna said once she was close to her friends.

Damian tried to find out who her friends were, but there were too many people in that open area, which made it almost impossible, yet when Alanna got closer to her friends, Damian saw it and could not believe it!

'Three gorgeous girls. Am I lucky?'

"Alanna?"

A woman with black hair, perfect skin, and a tall building quickly hugged Alanna when she saw her, tears streaming down their face. The other woman beside the tall one looked way too similar, being slightly shorter, and Damian guessed the two were sisters.

"We tried to find you inside that fog, but it was impossible. I am so sorry!"

"I know, I know. But we are together now," Alanna said, hugging the two sisters.

Damian stood behind Alanna, watching everything, and after one minute, the two sisters realized that youth was with her, so they asked, smirking, "Who is that handsome man behind you?"historical

Alanna's cheeks turned red, utterly different from her bright blue hair, "He's Damian, the man who saved me and helped me find you."

The tall woman stepped forward, extending her hand to him, "I am Lucy, and she's Luna. Nice to meet you, Damian."

Damian was still slightly taller than Lucy, but the girls were still taller than most men, and for some reason, their slender legs looked attractive to him, who was more than happy to meet them.

But he had more important things to do, like asking, "Do you know what's happening here?"

He was waiting for clueless looks or no answers, yet the two sisters knew what was happening, surprising Alanna and Damian!

"That's the most surprising part. Based on what we heard here and in many other dungeon levels, a portal will open and lead us to the Skyfall Tower!"

"Skyfall Tower? What is this?"

"We sadly don't know the details..." Lucy said, looking down, feeling embarrassed.

Damian was still happy to know the place's name, and he knew that, eventually, the rest of the information would go to him.

"Well, thanks for that. Let's work together to find out more about this"

The story of humankind was still a mess, saying that the dungeons and the superhumans had recently been discovered. However, Damian knew that was not true, as superhumans existed at the time the giants were still alive.

Also, the humans inside the dungeon were proof that the dungeons had been there for a long, long time, as the humans who got trapped or decided not to leave the dungeon built families in there, and that continued for generations, leading to many humans living inside the dungeons, not knowing much about the upper world, and without any will to go there either.

Damian was glad most of them shared the same language, so it was possible to speak with them or overhear their conversation to learn more about what was happening there.

Lucy and Luna gladly accepted Damian's offer of sticking together, and Alanna already wanted to stay with him; she did not know how to ask.

It was their best shot if they wanted to survive there, considering the four were the only humans from Earth, and all the others were dungeon natives.

After formalizing their alliance, they all stood still, waiting like all the other humans around them. After one hour, something finally happened.

An ethereal older man appeared, floating in the sky, having something like a blueish color. Damian could tell just by looking that it was like a spirit someone had left long ago.

The voice of that ghost echoed all over the cave, and everyone could hear it clearly.

"Welcome to the Skyfall Tower! A place where humans, be they from anywhere, can prove their value and find the secret about the dungeons!"

"I am sorry to say this to you, but the greatest human to ever exist discovered the truth behind the dungeon's appearances, yet being eccentric as he was, telling everyone right away would be too little for him,"

"So that's how the Skyfall Tower was born! It has floors, just like the dungeon, and it was designed to give the dungeon delvers rewards after passing each floor, just like it would happen in the dungeon itself! That's his way of trying to help you all complete the dungeon!"

"But each floor gets harder, and you must go deeper in the dungeon to get stronger to climb more of the tower. But don't worry, there are portals to enter the tower on all floors, even in the last one of the dungeon, but it only opens once a week!"

"Also, the higher your speed, the higher your ranking, and the higher your ranking, the more rewards you will get!"

Damian stood there, hearing everything and understanding the tower's meaning. It was a place to give treasures to the prominent dungeon delvers, a way to help the true superhumans who had the talent to eventually reach the last floor of the dungeon like the tower's creator did.

'But why did this tower appear only now?'

Perhaps something else was going on, something Damian still did not have the power to comprehend.
