Gravity Wizard Tower, 90th Floor of the tower.

“Tower Lord Iona has passed away in an accident at the Mana Stone mine.”

As soon as Iona was buried in the Mana Stone mine, Gonova returned to the Gravity Wizard Tower and convened a meeting to announce Iona’s death.

“Vice Tower Lord Gonova, what are you talking about?”

“The Tower Lord… That’s impossible!”

“Tell me the location of the Mana Stone mine! I’ll go and check myself!”

The elder council of wizards at the Gravity Wizard Tower rejected Gonova’s words. The Tower Lord Iona they knew couldn’t have died from a mere explosion at the Mana Stone mine.

Moreover,

“If Tower Lord Iona has passed away, then this sealing stone should have turned red!”

“That’s right. The sealing stone hasn’t changed, has it!”

At the top floor of the Tower, where the meeting was being held, a black crystal in the ceiling remained unchanged. It proved that Iona was still alive.

But,

Swoosh.

As if to contradict the elder council of wizards, a red mist began to circulate around the black crystal.

“That… That is…”

“It can’t be… The curse of the nightmare has returned.”

“Tower Lord Iona has passed away…”

The elder council of wizards, who had been denying Iona’s death until now, accepted it after seeing the red mist.

It was because the curse of the nightmare, borne by the Tower Lord until their death, had returned after losing its master.

Although Iona’s entry into the Dimension Shield had resulted in the return of part of the Demon King’s soul, the other wizards could not discern it.

The curse of the nightmare was a symbol and a shackle passed down from the first Tower Lord of Gravity Wizard Tower, a curse that sealed the ancient Demon King Nightmare’s soul within one’s body.

The cursed one suffers terrible nightmares every time they sleep. In return, they can borrow the tremendous power of the Demon King Nightmare’s soul.

Since the founding Tower Lord trapped the ancient Demon King Nightmare on the top floor of the Gravity Wizard Tower, successive Tower Lords have inherited the curse.

It was to prevent the Demon King’s seal from breaking and to maintain the Gravity Wizard Tower’s reputation.

‘These fools! Once I become the Tower Lord, I’ll drive them all out!’

Gonova gritted his teeth, watching the elder council of wizards, who only accepted Iona’s death after the demon king’s soul had returned.

Although it was the result of his own past actions, Gonova only thought that the elder wizards were ignoring him.

“Since Tower Lord Iona has died, according to the tower’s laws, I, the Vice Tower Lord, will become the next Lord of the Gravity Wizard Tower.”

“Fly!”

As Gonova confidently spoke and flew towards the red mist,

-Hehehehe. To be so blinded by greed and accept my curse, how foolish.

The voice of the Demon King Nightmare resounded in Gonova’s head.

“Yes. Hurry up and curse me, ancient Demon King.”

Gonova spoke boastfully, thinking the tales of the nightmare were exaggerated. What’s the big deal with dreaming a mere nightmare? If only he could become Tower Lord…

-Well, I have been bored lately. See if you can handle my curse, arrogant hyena.

Swish.

At the same time, the red mist was absorbed into Gonova’s body.

“Hahaha! I’m overflowing with power!”

Gonova was thrilled with the terrifying power he felt in his body.

“Elders, listen up. Prepare my Tower Lord inauguration ceremony at once!”

“Yes… Tower Lord.”

The elder council of wizards reluctantly acknowledged Gonova as the Tower Lord, as he had been chosen by the curse of the nightmare and had become the Tower Lord according to the laws of the tower.

“Hahaha.”

Gonova reveled in pleasure, watching the elder wizards follow his commands obediently.

“Hehe, this is the taste.”

Gonova, enchanted by the power of the Tower Lord, enjoyed all the privileges and pleasures of the day as the Tower Lord. When night came, Gonova felt tired.

It was only natural, as he had been running around receiving the treatment of the Tower Lord.

“I’m tired. I need some sleep.”

though he’d have nightmares, it was a small price to pay for becoming the Tower Lord. Gonova thought nothing of it and
