Eli was just an ordinary guy, living a normal life like everyone else. That was, until everything changed. It started with strange dreams—dreams where he saw himself, but not exactly. It was like looking at another version of him, one that was always running, always being chased. One morning, he woke up like usual, ready to go about his day. After washing up, he glanced at the mirror—and froze. Staring back at him wasn’t just his reflection, but the version of him from the dreams. His heart raced as he reached out to touch the glass. The moment his fingers made contact, the mirror shattered, pulling him in. When he opened his eyes, he was in a place he’d never seen before. A place full of mysteries and secrets waiting to be uncovered. Pendarghast Academy.

Humanity finds themselves trapped in an MMO RPG. As they navigate the 100 floors of the World Tree, players face challenges, unlock skills, and wield magic. Lives are lost, alliances form, and destinies are shaped. Who will rise, and who will fall? After much reflection, I’ve decided to rewrite Ascending the World Tree into a new version: ATWT Rewrite. The original story will remain available for those who enjoyed it, but I’m taking the narrative in a new direction—one without systems. I’ve come to believe that systems, while popular in fantasy, often serve as a crutch. Concepts like skill points and their effects on characters tend to be loosely defined, diluting the depth of the story and characters. In this rewrite, I’m removing the system elements entirely, refocusing the tale on the raw, emotional struggles of humanity climbing the World Tree. Additionally, the chapters in ATWT Rewrite will be much shorter. Writing 11k-word chapters in the original wasn’t sustainable for me, so I’ll be aiming for 1–2 pages per chapter this time. This will help me create a more consistent and enjoyable writing process. I hope you’ll join me on this new journey. As the characters and world of ATWT evolve into something more grounded, engaging, and true to the spirit of fantasy. Thank you for your support, and I can’t wait to share ATWT Rewrite with you!

Introduction: The Fragmented Realms A place where the mundane and the miraculous coexist, the multiverse is a web of infinite dimensions, each governed by its own god or goddess. These divine beings shaped their realms to reflect their essence: the frozen tundras of the Ice Titan, the eternal sunsets of the Realm of Sol, the shadowed caverns of Umbral, and countless others. The dimensions are connected by a delicate Nexus—a luminous thread that binds all existence together. But like any thread, it can fray. Among the myriad races that roam these realms, humanity is the most underestimated. Fragile and fleeting, humans are often ignored by the gods. Yet their determination, creativity, and defiance have sparked both admiration and fear. Prophecies whispered across the multiverse speak of a mortal who will rise from nothing, challenging the gods themselves. But no one believes in fairy tales… until the first fracture in the Nexus begins.

SABER-1 is more than a soldier— he is a reflection of the choices made in the face of annihilation and the sacrifices required to carry the weight of hope. A lone figure forged in the crucible of relentless warfare, his existence straddles the line between man and machine, embodying both the potential and the peril of humanity's technological evolution.

Yet, beneath the reinforced plating and glowing visor lies the ghost of a man, burdened by the weight of his mission and the impossible expectations placed upon him. SABER-1’s story is one of paradox. He is humanity’s greatest savior and its most chilling reminder of what desperation can create. But with each victory, a haunting question lingers: where does the man end, and the machine begin? As the lines blur, SABER-1 becomes an enigma—a figure of unparalleled strength and relentless determination, whose actions echo far beyond the battlefield, forcing humanity to reckon with what it means to survive and what it means to be human.

In a world fraying at the edges, two strangers from distant lands—each broken in their own way—are brought together by forces neither of them can understand. This story unfolds in the shadowed spaces between life and death, between despair and defiance, where fate is rewritten in the language of myth and horror. You and Me is a journey into the unknown, where our protagonists, Eoin (Pronounced Owen) and Taila, navigate a world woven with nightmares, encountering mythological horrors lurking just beyond the veil of reality. At the heart of the chaos, they discover a purpose they hadn’t sought, bound by a shared mission to confront forces older and darker than anything they've known. This is not just a tale of survival; it’s a reflection on hope, resilience, and the mysterious ties that bind us, even in the unlikeliest of circumstances. For while the creatures of myth threaten to tear apart our protagonists’ world, it is ultimately their inner demons that test their strength and loyalty. In the pages that follow, you’ll find a story that lies somewhere between a grim reality and a boundless fantasy, where myths breathe life, the past is never truly buried, and each character confronts a piece of themselves they had long hidden away. Step forward, then, into the unknown. And remember—as Eoin and Taila will come to know all too well— sometimes, the things that haunt us are what make us human.
