Tower of Endless: Death Granted Entry

In the place I came from, I was the greatest fighter to ever exist, or so I think of myself. Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t an officer, nor some glorious soldier. I was just a slave. Back then, survival was everything. But I was greedy. I had brothers in slavery I wanted to protect. I overstepped my place, challenged people beyond my rank, people I shouldn’t have challenged. I dreamed of things slaves were never meant to dream of. In the end, we all died. As we should have. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself inside the Tower, a place where people came to gain power, wealth, and glory. So why am I here? For me, it became a place where everyone seemed to want me dead. Still… I want to live. I want to live as a free man, not someone’s property. What else matters now that my brothers are dead? I’ll forge a fake family, a fake background, a fake life that was never mine. I’ll observe this world, learn its common sense, and become someone new. And I’ll kill anyone who tries digging into my past. To survive this Tower, be it impossible trials, trying not to get eaten, stabbed, cursed, arrested, betrayed, or adopted by strange old legends. But no matter what happens… I’ll keep living as a free man. Oh, I carry a curse too?… It doesn’t matter… I’ll be hunted for it?… Bruh… that’s fine! But more importantly… Why are these bastards acting overly friendly?

Unchosen Player

Boone Allard is an E-Rank Delver who survives by taking the jobs stronger Delvers consider beneath them. He has no exceptional talent, no powerful ability, and no ambition beyond earning enough to pay for his mother's medical treatment. That changes when a routine Rift suddenly becomes a Double Rift, trapping Boone and the other Delvers inside with a single condition: only one of them will be allowed to leave alive. When Boone is betrayed and left to die, he wakes to find everyone else dead and a strange System offering him a Pact. The Pact gives him power, but nothing comes freely; every ability comes with a price, and Boone quickly realizes that whatever created it has its own purpose. As Boone grows stronger and begins uncovering the truth behind the Rifts, he finds himself caught in something far larger than the life of a low-ranking Delver. He was never chosen by fate, and there is no prophecy waiting for him. He simply survived when everyone else didn't. Now Boone intends to make sure nobody ever decides his fate for him again.

Unfortunate Delay

I'll have to focus on Tower of Endless: Death Granted Entry.

Final Lull of Sanity

Since the dawn of their existence, humans have pursued knowledge. The unknown. The unknowable. They seek truths beyond the mind's limit, beyond comprehension, even beyond what free will should allow. Their pursuit is unrelenting. It fails in devastation. In death. Yet still, they chase. Compelled-no, obligated-to never stop, never pause. Charging forward like sheep to slaughter, toward a flicker of possibility... A miracle that never was. Some domains should never be touched. For there are horrors that man was never meant to fight. Some knowledge is meant to remain obscure. Eric Dunn didn't volunteer. Dragged by orders into a lax six-month deployment- A quiet posting with no enemies in sight. And yet... he now wages war. Not with terrorists, not with beasts- But with a will not his own. A foreign voice gnaws at the edges of his mind, Turning his mission into something far more sinister. A path that was never his. A purpose that never belonged to him. And a presence that refuses to let go.
