Return of Tower's Phantom-Chapter 46 – The Feather’s Message

---

Ruins of the Crimson Ballroom – Moments Later

The silver feather pulsed faintly in Rael's hand, emitting a warmth far too alive to be mere residue. The moment it touched his palm, the system reacted.

Rael's heart skipped a beat.

Selene leaned closer, her breath catching. "A message... from her?"

He nodded. "Let's see what she left us."

The Vision

Light engulfed Rael's vision. When it cleared, he stood in a vast garden of stars. Lyra stood beneath a glass tree, her figure translucent, eyes tired but kind.

"Rael," her voice whispered. "If you're seeing this, I'm already gone."

He clenched his fists, biting back emotion.

"But that doesn't mean everything is lost. I cracked the system... and found a way to reach the top."

She turned, lifting her hand toward the sky.

"A hidden gate—one that even the gods fear. Floor 100. The true origin. It lies beneath the core of the Tower, sealed by nine fate locks. And only someone like you can break them."

Rael stepped forward, desperate to touch her—knowing he couldn't.

"Selene is your sword. You are her anchor. And me?" Her smile trembled. "I'll be your shadow... for as long as I can remain."

The vision blurred. Her final words echoed.

> "Reach Floor 100. Rewrite the world."

Back in Reality

Rael opened his eyes.

Selene knelt beside him, tense. "What did she say?"

He stared at the feather, now cracked and fading.

"She gave us a path. Floor 100."

Selene's breath caught. "That place was supposed to be a myth."

"No," Rael said darkly. "It's real. And it's where they're hiding everything—the truth, the gods' secret, the reason we all suffer."

Elsewhere – In the Void Between Floors

A god shrouded in gold and decay stirred from meditation. "He's found the message."

The High Table of Divinity shook.

Final Scene – Rael's Command

Rael stood at the edge of the ballroom, cloak torn, eyes blazing.

"We gather allies. Clear the remaining floors. Then we burn our way to the truth."

Selene smiled grimly. "You're finally sounding like the old you."

He turned, eyes glowing.

"No. I'm someone worse."
