Eren Kain was an ordinary engineer and inventor until the day the Tower of Trials appeared. A massive, otherworldly spire reaching into the heavens, the tower beckoned humanity with promises of power, wealth, and immortality—but also death. Unlike the others, Eren was forcibly bound to the Tower. No one else could enter until he began his climb, and he couldn’t leave unless he reached the top. Stripped of magic, aura, or any supernatural ability, Eren’s only advantage is his engineering genius and the technology he can smuggle in. From basic firearms to drones and exoskeletons, he uses every tool at his disposal to survive the monsters, traps, and bizarre ecosystems within the Tower. Yet even technology has its limits in a world governed by magic. As Eren climbs, he discovers the Tower isn’t just a trial but a puzzle. Its magic isn’t arbitrary—it’s systematic, a science he slowly learns to decode. However, one wrong calculation could kill him instantly, forcing him to balance experimentation with survival. He scavenges magic crystals, artifacts, and spell books, using them in crude, improvised ways to bolster his arsenal. Over time, he begins merging technology and magic, creating unique hybrid tools to overcome the increasingly insurmountable challenges. But why was Eren chosen? What secret does the Tower hold? With no escape and the weight of humanity’s fate on his shoulders, Eren must climb—not just to survive, but to unravel the truth of the Tower itself. every 50 collections I’ll give a chapter and every 20 powerstones I’ll give a chapter every 10 reviews I’ll give a chapter

Warning!! Please be aware that there will be incest in this story. Before the Elven goddess created her first elf, she created a guardian for them, a demi-god without a soul that possessed a single purpose: to protect the goddess' creation. He did so for eons, protecting them from mighty titans, fearsome dragons, greedy humans, and filthy goblins. He protected them until the war that led to his death and almost all of the races on the realm, where they waged war against the elves. He fought alone for twelve winters, which led to the deaths of billions of mortals and eventually his own. He welcomed his eternal sleep, but Elven goddess called for him once again. This is my first story that im writing for fun and english is not my first language so please be patient with me. I will try to write myself as much as possible while using AI to correct my grammar. I'm thinking of adding some other elves from games, like the Windrunner sisters from Warcraft, and anything other than my OG belongs to their own respective creator. Warning!! Please be aware that there will be incest and lots of gore and NO YURİ,NO NTR

This novel does contain gore and smut, but hopefully, the R18 tag insinuates that. I'm writing this for fun and while I do check over my work there may be some writing or grammatical errors.

This is my first ever proper work and my first contracted work so I hope you enjoy it!
