In the plague-scarred port of Varrowport, silver buys bread but forbidden glyphs buy power, and every gang, guild, and grieving parent wants the necromancer who can raise the dead—soulless but obedient.

Sword Art Online

The Tower is a colossal, mysterious structure that dominates the world. Rising far above clouds and mountains, it contains 100 floors, each a unique realm with its own climate, dangers, and society. Every floor has a city where some dwell, trade, and train, while others push upward in search of glory, power, or survival. Magic is rare and feared; most rely on skill, strategy, and courage. Few know the truth of the Tower’s origin, but rumors hint that reality itself may be shaped by its unseen purpose. Every step upward is a test of wit, strength, and resolve, and the summit holds a revelation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about existence.
