Return of Tower's Phantom-Chapter 32 – The Origin Chamber

---

Tower – Floor 100: The Origin Chamber

The chamber was silent. Too silent.

Rael stepped onto a silver bridge suspended in nothingness. Below him swirled the records of every climber who had ever entered the Tower. Victories. Betrayals. Deaths.

Selene hesitated at the entrance, sensing something ancient stirring. "This place... it's alive."

Rael nodded. "This is where the Tower was born. And where it can be... rewritten."

[Would you like to initiate Override Protocol?]

He raised his hand.

"Yes."

A pulse of golden light burst outward. Reality twisted—statues cracked, code unraveled, and a ghostly figure appeared.

Projection: Mo

Not her present self.

A memory.

Younger. Warmer. Laughing beside Rael on a rainy day outside the Tower.

> "If we ever get to the top," she'd once said, "promise me you'll choose yourself over the world."

Rael blinked.

His chest ached.

Selene watched quietly.

Suddenly, the Origin Chamber lit up with a golden tether. A heartbeat thudded against Rael's.

Elsewhere – Tower Floor 90: The Betrayers' Sanctum

Mo, the real one, gasped.

She dropped the dagger in her hand.

Tears welled in her eyes.

"He accessed it..."

Back in the Origin Chamber

Rael stepped forward.

The projection of Mo dissolved—replaced by a fragment of her true emotions.

Love.

Guilt.

Fear.

"She was never meant to betray me," Rael muttered. "She was forced to."

[All three betrayers were bound by divine command.]

Selene clenched her fists. "So it was the gods all along."

"No," Rael said. "The Tower itself. It chose them... to keep me from ascending."

[WARNING: Once complete, your authority may override divine rules. Are you prepared to become an enemy of the heavens?]

Rael took a deep breath.

"Bring it on."
