Enter: The Tower

"AUGHHHHHHHHH". Jolted awake by a stabbing pain in his temples, Brandon Duhnar held his head as he tried to withstand the pain.

After a few seconds, the pain disappeared as if it was never there. It was… strange. After calming down, he started taking in his surroundings. Everything here was unfamiliar to him. All he saw near him was a shallow lake and cave walls as far as his eyes could see. He traveled a around a kilometer forward, but after making what seemed like zero progress, he turned back and gazed into the lake. After seeing his reflection, he momentarily lost his breath.

"Holy shit…" he muttered, staring back at the peerless reflection that greeted him. Standing at 186 cm tall, with neatly combed, short, close cropped blue hair. Why his hair was neatly combed after waking up in the middle of a cave after god knows how much time, he had no idea, but back to how handsome he is hehehehehe… back and a flawless face with high cheekbones, sharp eyes, and full lips, he was what one would call a bonafide lady killer.

After getting used to his reflection, a devious smile appeared on his face "Hehehehehe… time to build my harem". If someone came across the area right now, they would see a naked man rubbing his hands together while giggling to himself while muttering.

Hmm….

'Wait… why the fuck am I here, actually who even am I?'

All he remembered was his name and how he died, shot to death in the 'crossfire' between two rival gangs. In actuality, the two gangs teamed up to take care of him because he was what you would call a one man army. Some members of one of the gangs tried to mug him, but after he snapped 3 of their limbs each, (which was being lenient, by the way) one of the people he manhandled went and complained to his big brother, who was the leader of said gang. Yeah, some real Wuxia MC type shit.

Obviously, this wasn't enough to cause two gangs to tag team a single dude. But what would do that, is perhaps killing 17 dudes armed with SMGs… Maybe he should have shown some restraint. Oops!

So yeah, after this occurred, the two gangs decided to team up and remove the threat before it bloomed.

You might be asking "Why would the media cover something like this up? That's some premium juicy shit!"

Well maybe he forgot to mention, but those two 'small' gangs were the Yakuza and the Triad, and this all took place within New York…

Well, let's not reflect on the past, back to the present.

"Hmmmm I really hope I have something to do here, I'm already super-" As he turned around, the words got stuck in his throat, because standing before him were two giant doors that seemed to endlessly stretch into the sky. A deafening creaking sound responded through the cave as the door opened, coupled with the blinding light that shined through, would bring awe to whoever gazed upon it.

Well, almost anyone.

As Brandon was greeted with this sight, eyes still wide open, a wide, almost crazed smile graced his perfect face.

"Well, seems like this won't be so boring after all…"

Tower: Location Unknown

A formless being raised it's head, and a voice that seemed to contain every gender and none at the same time, rang out everywhere and nowhere.

"An irregularity has been detected… maybe the false god will fall sooner than expected"

With a chuckle, the being disappeared, location unknown.

Author's Note: Hey guys, Author here. I'm super young (not gonna clarify so web novel doesn't take this down off some bs) So feedback is super appreciated as long as it's constructive. Just straight out insulting my work is pretty annoying, and it doesn't help anyone. Have a great day.
