Prologue

It was coming up on the year 2048 on earth and it was an average day, with nothing out of place.

Cars were going from place to place, people were getting to work and school.

When white doors began appearing in the sky, there must have been billions up there twinkling like stars but in browed daylight.

That's when they opened and a sense of weightlessness overcame everyone sparking confusion. people were lifted into the air their clothes leaving being left behind on the ground as if it were the rapture.

people were shouting things like "its the rapture" and "gods judgment is letting us into heaven."

after this non would say this again

people would approach the doors with the doors opening with a warm embrace. the door would then shut after a person entered and proceed to disappear.

soon roads and cities were left baron with only buildings and the clothes left behind as a sign that they were there.

once exiting the door the people would find themselves free-falling from the sky onto an open plain wearing a rucksack as clothes. all humans were able to fit within the plains biome that was surrounded by deserts, forests, and mountains.

the people didn't fall to their deaths as one would first expect but would strangely stop mere centimeters above ground before flopping to the ground.

people began talking, confused at what just happened some were fairly calm but most were freaking out. some even decide to tack violence upon others most likely they were mentally ill people and convicts.

but the worst is yet to come as from their surroundings people could see wild beast huge and fierce. but there was some kind of barrier stopping them from getting in for now.

a strangle pulling sensation forced people's minds into some kind of subspace

inside there was a large marble-like sphere surrounded by 8 smaller marbles all varying in different colors. there was glowing coming from little glowing particles, everyone was different but it ranged from 5-to 8 in each.

within the middle of the large spheres, there were weapons. like swords or daggers of all sorts. what people had differed and most only had 1 - 2.

after 10 minutes some had touched their weapons and summoned them. but lots hadn't and that's when the barrier began to dissipate.

millions began to scramble to safety even trampling many, even with how scary looking they seemed to be they were only the size of large dogs.

the beasts from the forests were some kind of boar, the desert were worm-like maggots and from the mountains were goblin-looking creatures.

those with weapons found it relatively easy to stop the advancement of monsters.

that was except for a part where the goblins were coming from. unlike the worms and the boars these goblins had a humanoid psyche so they could were armor and carry weapons as well.

people were being overwhelmed by these opponents thousands were dying from them creating human corpse piles.

people were running like hell to get away from there, that's when a kid got kicked to the floor and approached a goblin with a psychotic look on his face.

"please someone saves me, mommy I want my mommy." cried the kid as a reached stench permeated the air followed by a puddle forming under the child.

the goblin's nose twitched and he began maniacally laughing and talking in an incomprehensible langue.

the goblin raises his arm along with a dagger ready to swop down as the goblin continued giggling to itself.

it attempted to bring down its arm only to notice it was gone, it spun around looking for the culprit. finding a young woman with pink hair running along her back down to her legs.

it was then noticed that the women began to tilt horizontally.

the sound of an object hitting the ground followed as the child looked at the severed head and then at the lady who was already running to another goblin.

Later on, the woman would be known as the red queen, as people began to see her power.

years passed and many things were discovered

they discovered a large temple inside they found a large monster called the floor's test

once defeated one would go to the next floor showing everyone they still weren't really anything special.

the red queen created a kingdom for humankind and became revered as a god. a church called the red queen church became her ambassador and army later on.

strength becomes everything if you weren't strong you would be discriminated against and the only other way to avoid this was to have a strong family backing.

leaving the only choice but to climb the tower for power and extended life.

.....

tens of millennia later in a small shack, there's a child called Lith. he is extremely beautiful with porcelain white skin and red ruby eyes and white lush hair going down to the ground he could easily be confused for a girl.

although he's scrunched up in a ball he stands only. he's wearing rags showing his malnourished body and bare feet. lastly, he's an orphan meaning he has no standing or background.

Lith will turn 16 the next day on the 1st of January and will finally be able to climb the tower. At the current time, children are born on the 10th floor and can't go to the academy to climb and climb towers until they turned 16.

(the tenth floors are waypoints and after every 10th-floor gravity increases)

...

in the morning Lith is woken up by an ominous and piercing gaze.

"Yaaaawn" he looks around to find the culprit but comes out empty

'well that was an odd awakening, I swear to the red queen if it's one of Jack's gang ill... well.. there's nothing I can do' his head drops down and his face becomes dark.

"wait today's the day I can change that" his face becomes brighter and he kicks his flimsy door open and runs outside getting winded not long after.

he finds his way after 3 hours of running and walking and panting to a massive iron gate that was 80 feet tall and 120 feet wide.

there were tens of millions of young people the same age a Lith hanging out in front of the gate.

"Hey it's that rat again, Jake didn't you say to him he shouldn't come here if he wanted to live" a crowed of 12 boys and 4 girls were coming toward LIth

one, in particular, that was in the front was wearing some nice-looking clothing.

"hey pest you don't deserve to come here you sully the name of the red queen by even approaching the great gates of her academy. so scram before I expel you from life" this was in a pretense and prideful voice coming from the boy at the front.

"Jake I have as much right to be here as any of you," Lith said as his voice raged with anger.

a rouse of laughter came from the group with even some others who presumably knew who Lith was, joining in.

the laughter was soon cut off by the huge gates of the academy opening up to a path leading to a massive castle-like structure that pierced the sky.

everyone's faces became stern and began heading to the castle leaving Lith just standing there as people just walked around or shoved him.

"don't even think of stepping foot through those gates," Jake whispered into his ear, as a chill ran down Lith's spine.
