Wuuyong

A boy awakens in a mysterious, towering structure promised a wish at the summit, but as he ascends, disturbing echoes of his forgotten past force him to confront the true nature of his ascent and the cost of his desire.

<p>Fifteen-year-old Riju gradually returns to consciousness, the cold stone a stark contrast to the searing flames that still burn behind his eyes. His body a map of lingering burns and his mind a tapestry of horror. He remembers the fire that turned day into night, the screams, and the faces of his parents, gone in the blink of an eye. He finds himself in a bizarre stone chamber, the only survivor of a massacre that erased his world. As he tried to lift himself up, A creature of shimmering light and unsettling calm appears, offering a cryptic welcome to "the Tower" and hinting at a destiny Riju never wanted. Is the Tower a refuge, a prison, or something far more sinister? And can a boy who has lost everything be reborn as something more?</p>
