Climbing Cartoon

In a world where fate is fixed and destiny is unyielding, a mysterious structure appears overnight — The Tower of Paradox. Stretching beyond the clouds, its twisted architecture defies logic, its floors brimming with ever-shifting trials. Rumors spread like wildfire: the one who reaches the top will be granted a single, absolute wish. But the tower does not choose just anyone. It calls only to the “Marked”, individuals drawn by an unseen force to confront its deadly trials. Warriors, scholars, thieves, and the broken all gather at its base, each with a story, each with a desire. Glory, revenge, redemption — the tower promises it all. But every step forward comes with a price, and the deeper they climb, the less they recognize themselves. Among the Marked is Elias Grey, a man without a past, branded with a sigil that burns against his skin. Unlike the others, he did not come seeking glory or fortune. For him, the tower is not a promise — it’s a prison. Forced to climb or be consumed, he faces mind-bending puzzles, bloodthirsty foes, and illusions that force him to question his own reality. As the tower warps his mind and the lines between friend and foe blur, Elias begins to wonder: Is he climbing the tower, or is the tower climbing him? With each floor presenting a paradox of logic, morality, and time, Elias realizes the ultimate riddle lies not at the top — but within himself. Will he reach the summit and claim his wish, or will the tower claim him first? Face the unknown. Conquer the impossible. Escape the Paradox.

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle.

"The fallen, the near extinction, those who wish to die, the rich, those who have been loved by life, and those who have been chosen. Are you ready to leave everything you have behind? Are you, the ones chosen by the gods themselves, ready to write history?" "Are you, the reason for the creation of the line between life and death, ready to become holy beings? Are you ready to climb beside Zeus, Odin, Archangel Michael, Lucifer the Fallen Angel, Buddha and others? Are you ready to become a God?" "You've been chosen!" These words would be the words James would hear the most from the moment he entered the tower. Behind the strange events, special feelings and dozens of things lost, James would have only one thing on his mind: "I will break through the tower and meet Chaos himself."

Across the world, in every country, Towers formed. They were not built by the hands of man nor was there any reason for their existence. One day they appeared from nowhere as if they had been there all along. Now, across the world, people, innocent and not, young and old, man and woman are dragged into the Tower. Their only escape? Climbing the Tower. Or so they hope. They have no answers. No understanding. Simply their own will to survive and conquer the challenge that lies before them. Whether they come together or stand divided, is their will. Whether they return to their homes or remain within the Tower, is their will. Whether they survive or die, is their will.

Step to the right – death. Step to the left – death. No matter how much you try, no matter how many times you rise – only one end awaits you. Do you think you deserve something else? Yes? Then fight. Stand up. Again and again, until the end of time. Climb to the top over the bodies of those who disagree. Prove that you deserve to control your life.

Synopsis (Narrated by the MC): "They called me a fool. Eight whole years climbing a so-called 'easy' game that no one else could beat. 'Waste of time,' they said. 'Just give up,' they said. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. I knew there had to be something at the top of the Tower of Babel. And I was right. After finally beating the 99th floor, I climbed to the 100th floor expecting a grand boss fight or a glorious treasure. Instead, I got two words carved into a stone tablet: 'Thank you.' A joke, right? I felt like smashing my screen, but then... An email arrived. From the creator of the game, Levi Dog. Weird name, right? But what he said wasn’t funny. 'Congratulations on clearing the Tower. Your gift will arrive tomorrow.' I thought it was a scam. I mean, how would they know where I lived? Turns out, they knew. The next morning, there it was — a colossal, world-shaking tower piercing the sky outside my window. A tower just like the one in the game. Then came the message, floating in front of me like a system screen straight out of an RPG. 'Congratulations on becoming the Administrator of the Tower.' Administrator? What does that even mean? Well, I found out soon enough. It meant I owned it. Controlled it. The tower wasn’t a game anymore — it was real. And I wasn’t the only one who saw it. Gates started appearing worldwide, ticking down like a doomsday clock. I had 30 days before the monsters came flooding out. My 'gift' from Levi Dog came with a cruel twist — the whole world would have to climb the tower to awaken powers strong enough to face the monsters. But they only get one shot. One chance to climb. If they fail, they’re out for good. Meanwhile, I get to watch from above. Watch, guide, and control everything as the Tower’s one and only Administrator. Eight years of struggle, ridicule, and isolation. Now, the world that mocked me is begging me for guidance. Funny how things change, huh?

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

Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana.

In the world of Eridoria, where humans struggled to survive against the monstrous forces that threatened to consume everything, there existed a hidden realm known as Aethoria. This parallel world was a place of ancient power, where the fabric of reality was woven from the very essence of magic. To tap into the power of Aethoria, those brave enough to challenge its trials from Eridoria would have to navigate the hidden pathways that connected the two worlds. Once in Aethoria, they would be met with the fabled Spire of Echoes, a towering structure that pierced the skies like a shard of glass. The Spire was said to be comprised of thousands of individual towers, each one representing a different trial, a different challenge, and a different aspect of the self but these towers were separated from the source.Those who sought to gain power from Aethoris would have to climb each tower, facing their deepest fears, desires, and doubts along the way. As they ascended the towers, the challenges would grow increasingly difficult, and the risks would become increasingly greater. One misstep, one moment of weakness, and the climber would plummet to their death, their soul trapped forever in the realm of Aethoria. But for those who succeeded, who managed to climb the towers and claim the power that lay at there peaks , the rewards would be immeasurable. They would return to Eridoria as heroes, armed with the knowledge, the strength, and the magic needed to defeat the monsters that threatened their world. The question was, who would be brave enough to take on the challenge of the Spire the source of all towers, and what would be the cost of their ambition?
