Fifty years ago, the Tower appeared, awakening humanity to prepare for a cosmic threat known as the Planet Eater. Kael Ardent was late. When he finally awakened, he received two useless abilities—Line Drawer and Tap, both ranked F–. Laughed at, ignored, and dismissed, he should have faded into obscurity like countless others. But the Tower reacted to him. A hidden shelter. A forgotten fragment. A boundary that shouldn’t exist. As Kael climbs, his “trash” abilities begin to interact in ways the system never intended—drawing lines that block reality, tapping truths hidden beneath the world, and erasing things that were never meant to disappear. The Tower was built with rules. Kael is learning how to redraw them.

Keyller Rafe Hayes To achieve his goal of taking vengeance on his family and reclaiming his throne, Keyller entered an underground organization called Foedus. An organization that once you entered there was no way out but a body bag. It isn't a problem for Keyller as he has no one if anything goes wrong. Since he started loathing women, the idea of being with them for the rest of his life went inside the gutter. The assassins who murdered his family were composed of a women's team. With the help of a powerful organization, Keyller reclaimed his throne, as an Earl of Ulster. But an unexpected thing happened when he was on the search for the culprit and met a tantalizing woman who changed his perspective. He meets Freeya, known as Lot 520, a woman from a sex slavery corporation run by a syndicate. Freeya is a product of a test tube baby that the corporation produces to sell as slavery to pleasure men. Freeya was thought of only as sex, how to pleasure men. She’s naive and innocent. A gorgeous woman that Keyller can’t bear to see suffer. The only woman that makes his heart churn in anger and desperation to save. Keyller fell in love with Lot 520 but the heavy consequences come. The corporation that held Freeya is massive and powerful, so he needed the help of Foedus. He succeeded with a bit of a mishap, but everything went well. He brought Freeya to Ireland, taught her things, and sent her to school. Everything went well until one day when Keyller was pursuing the culprit that killed his family, the RDS, the corporation that produced Freesha, retaliated. They invaded the castle and succeeded in capturing Freeya back. Keyller was late to save his girl.
