Excel took a deep breath. For years he had been trained by a madman named Nova. Or at least that was what he called himself. He apparently used to be a big shot in the tower, causing a lot of chaos as he climbed to the top. People whom decided to go against the rules. To fight the system and try to overthrow it. They were called slayers. And now, Excel would be one himself as well. This system had taken away his two best friends. Not only that, but apparently his family used to be rather high up the tower. But because of corruption from the noble families they were thrown into the bottom three levels. He barely remembered them, as he was only 3 years old when they died. But still...this tower had taken everything away from him. Which was why Nova offered to train him so he could fight against it with his own power.

The first test had been explained only moments ago. There would be a total of 20 participating. There was only one rule really. Only four had to remain standing, and there was no time limit. Those four that would still be standing would be allowed to floor 2. This was only the first test, so it was probably an easy one with many weaklings that came here because of their greed. And now everyone was waiting in separate rooms. Once the door opened they would enter and by a method of their choosing would have to reduce the numbers to only 4. That didn't mean you had to kill the others. Just knocking them out worked too. But Excel wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one killer among them. Probably several. Those people he had no problem killing as well. The others though...if they didn't try to kill him he would only knock them out.

An announcer sounded through a speaker above the door. "5 seconds until the start of the test. All participants get ready."
