BAEK_YOON

In a world ruled by the mysterious Tower, climbers from across the land ascend its seemingly endless floors in search of their deepest desires—power, truth, or salvation. Each floor presents deadly trials, overseen by god-like administrators and mysterious managers. Only the worthy can ascend, while the defeated are left behind, trapped in the lower floors.

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.

But unknown to Shoichi, his past is tied to the Tower in ways he cannot yet comprehend. His older brother, **Miyasaka Katsu**, the powerful leader of the **Warrior Blood** faction, watches over him from the shadows. Katsu is determined to protect Shoichi at any cost, but his connection to Shoichi is a secret that must remain hidden until the time is right. Meanwhile, the Godsend faction, led by the ruthless Mizushima Kenshi, seeks total domination over all climbers and will stop at nothing to crush those who stand in their way—including Warrior Blood.

As Shoichi's power grows, so does the danger, not only from the trials of the Tower but also from the factions waging war within it. With each floor they conquer, Shoichi and his companions must face greater challenges, powerful foes, and the looming question: What is the true purpose of the Tower? And what awaits them at its peak?
