--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges. "Not again... With this chance I will end you all" Neraxis vowed to himself, embarking on his path of revenge, while also trying to give his life new meaning. ***** Disclaimer: MC is not instantly going to be a villain, as his background is that of a hero.

[2022 Best Newcomer Award Nomination] [No. 1 Bestseller in the 10th Sci-Fi Starlight Awards] [First Prize in the 2022 Sci-Fi Writing Contest] Saviors are ranked in different classes. An unranked savior is inefficient, taking years or even decades to save the world, leaving countless people to suffer in the meantime, and in the end, they might not even succeed. A third-rate savior is manipulated by conspirators throughout their life, ignorant and controlled like a puppet in someone else’s hands. A second-rate savior sacrifices greatly to save the world, enduring the death of a spouse, disability, the loss of close friends, and other hardships, only to gain an empty reputation or a gravestone epitaph. “Those saviors all have it too hard. I don’t want to be like them. I want to be a first-class savior!” “You ask me, what is a first-class savior?” “Saving the world at light speed!” “No casualties!” “Profiting wildly!” “Using the sword of the present to slay the future before it arrives, snuffing out the apocalypse in its cradle, acting entirely on my own will, and reaping the rewards I deserve!” “That’s what it means to be a first-class savior!” Stellar voyages, space-time travel, mechanical technology—the goal is the vast and unknown sea of stars!

If you had one final chance to go back— to walk the hardest, most dangerous path with the fate of the universe at stake… would you still choose to return? …not to fix a failed past, but to face a final timeline— where nothing remains the same. A boy named Akira, who longed for nothing more than an ordinary life… is thrust into a destiny far beyond what any heart should bear. In a world where magic fuses with science, and disasters far beyond imagination loom closer by the day, he must face the Seven Deadly Sins, demon lords, rogue machines, alien threats— and even… the gods themselves. Amidst war and the brink of collapse, he holds onto only two things— the love and teachings of a distant family, and comrades who fall and rise with him, again and again. Join Akira on a journey through smiles, tears, sweat, and blood— across floating cities, lands of molten lava, submerged kingdoms, crystal peaks, sacred forests, and many more awe-inspiring places scattered across Arcadia— too wondrous to name, yet too vivid to forget. This is not just a tale of saving the world… It’s the story of how one boy fights to protect his heart. And when the final chapter arrives… will he still be the same? Or will this story change you forever?

But 500 were chosen—dragged into a Tower that breathes like a god, shifts like a dream, and feeds on hope. Among them: A father. A daughter. And a promise made at the front door: “Stay close to me.” Each floor redefines what it means to survive. A plunge into water with creatures lurking below. A silent scream beneath falling lava. A hallway where your number means your death. “Just pray that we survive…” But the Tower is not just a test. It’s an altar. And every altar demands sacrifice. At the Fifth Floor, the gods descend— Not to rule. Not to save. But to play. “You have successfully passed the first floor.” “More sacrifices are coming.” They are not above us. They are trapped with us. Bound by the will of the Ten Great Gods, these lesser deities form twisted pacts with mortals. Because in this Tower, humans are nothing without gods—and gods are nothing without humans. Together, they climb. Together, they suffer. Together… they become something else. “Are we slaves?” “Or maybe animals are better than them sometimes.” This is not a game. It’s a ritual with no exit. 亗 Tower of Sacrifices is a dark fantasy about survival, control, and godhood at the edge of sanity.
