Igarashi Shoichi awakens on the first floor of the Tower with no memories except for his name Determined to unlock his forgotten memories and master his dangerous abilities, Shoichi bands together with other climbers: Kazuma a brawler with immense strength, and Takeshi, a stoic swordsman who wields the legendary Demonic Sword Technique with twelve deadly forms. Together, they must navigate the perilous floors of the Tower, each one more treacherous than the last, as they uncover the secrets behind their powers, the Tower, and the forces that control it.
