Mythological Cold Towers

The Tower of Infintium

Miguel Tañon is a retired construction worker, a lifelong gamer, and a man searching for purpose after the loss of his wife and the growing distance from his adult children. When he volunteers to beta test a revolutionary fully immersive VR game, The Tower of Infinitium, he sees it as a chance to rekindle his love for gaming and escape the loneliness of his everyday life. But the game is more than just a simulation—it is a world governed by an advanced AI, Eos, and an ever-evolving Tower filled with challenges, hidden lore, and dangers beyond imagination. Unlike traditional RPGs, there are no fixed classes or skill trees—everything must be learned, mastered, and shaped by the player’s ingenuity and determination. At first, Miguel takes his time, slowly building his skills, forming bonds with the villagers, and uncovering hidden quests that most testers overlook in their rush for power. However, when a cataclysmic event—triggered by a hidden chain quest—unleashes a beast tide, Miguel is forced to fight for survival. In a desperate moment, he unknowingly unlocks a forbidden power, awakening the Necromancer class by resurrecting the boy who had come to see him as family. His overwhelming power surge shatters the balance of the Tower, altering the game’s very fabric, triggering system-wide anomalies, and forcing the AI, Eos, to make an unprecedented decision—to pull Miguel’s consciousness into the game’s core to preserve his life. Now, unable to log out, Miguel is no longer just a player—he is becoming part of the Tower itself. As the real-world technicians struggle to understand what’s happening, and his children begin to question his absence, Miguel must navigate a world that is changing around him, responding to his presence in ways no game should. The Tower is evolving. New forces are awakening. And Miguel is at the center of it all. But is he still just a player? Or is he becoming something else entirely? ---

As society crumbles, Hiroshi witnesses the brutal death of his girlfriend at the hands of the monsters. Consumed by grief and rage, he attempts to avenge her, but his efforts leave him gravely wounded. Meanwhile, Nagi, Hiroshi's best friend, undergoes a profound transformation. A divine presence offers him extraordinary power, marking him as one of the seven "Awakeners" chosen by the gods to fight back against the monsters. As Nagi embraces his newfound abilities, Hiroshi, fueled by a deep, burning resolve, awakens his own hidden power in a moment of sheer determination. With a single, explosive strike, he defeats the monster that nearly killed him, realizing that he too has become one of the few capable of standing against the creatures that threaten humanity’s survival. As the world falls into chaos, the Awakeners—powerful individuals granted god-like abilities—must rise to face the monsters. A new system classifies these creatures, from the weakest to the most terrifying, and the Awakeners are ranked by their strength, from E Rank to the nearly mythical Saint Rank. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Hiroshi and Nagi, along with their fellow Awakeners, must adapt to this new reality, grow stronger, and prepare for the ultimate battle against the creatures that have brought the world to the brink of extinction.

The Tower of Destiny

The Legend of the Seven Fates… There once was an ancient library filled with all the knowledge in the world. The keepers of that library were the fates.       The fates were named Regalia, Clara, Melodie, Amara, Mia, Desirae, and Gailia. The fates were tasked with knitting scarves for the destiny of all mortals with plain material like wool, cotton, and yarn. One day the fates get an anonymous gift and the youngest fate, Gailia opens it.       Since Gailia is a fabled fate, fearless and immortal, she pulls on the string of the glowing box without caring to read the letter that was sent along with it. Gailia sees a glittering purple silk laying in the box and quickly stops knitting her boring destinies to make her new masterpiece.       As Gailia knits her new scarf Desirae, the sixth fate, takes note and decides she wants a masterpiece too. So Desirae stops knitting her plain cotton destiny and chooses a sparkling sapphire silk instead.      Mia, the fifth fate, walks by while knitting her almost finished yarn scarf and is drawn to a fiery looking carnelian. Mia sits down next to her two sisters and starts to finish this nearly finished scarf with the new and energetic carnelian.      But the fourth fate, Amara, is tired of not getting enough attention as the middle most fate. So Amara plans to knit her next mortal destiny as well as she can manage with a strong deep black diamond silk.       Melodie, the third fate, gasps at her sister’s neglect in knitting mortal destinies and grabs a deep emerald silk to show her older sisters. But the power in the silk overwhelms her and she instead collapses on the ground. Not knowing what else to do she skillfully knits a complex and delicate pattern into her newly acquired powerful jade silk.      Clara, the sixth fate, walks by and notices her sisters knitting something beautiful with a strange new material. Clara knows she’s never seen anything like these materials so she shouts for her eldest sister. Regalia, the oldest, knows what has happened and instantly goes over towards her younger siblings.       Regalia hopes that she can make it in time to stop Clara from falling into this trap as well. But as Regalia bursts into the library her skin turns pale. All of her younger siblings are knitting part of their lives into mortal destinies.  Even Clara is standing a few feet in front of Regalia knitting a destiny out of shining gold and silver. Regalia nods because her sisters have already chosen their paths.      Regalia wakes her sisters and picks up a dull and colorless grey silk that pulses with raw potential. The sisters know their mistake and follow Regalia as they knit a prophecy over top of the silks.       The seven fates knit a faith-filled prophecy out of the stable earthly silk and connect this to a place they call The Tower of Destiny. They write down that one day the chosen will unseal the library of knowledge at the top of The Tower.      They can only hope that whoever does this will be kind enough to revive them so that they can continue knitting mortals in order to save the world. Though as the sisters take their last breath before slumber that can’t help but have faith.

Tower of Paradox

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.

Attracted to His Cold

It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? *** "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more. Enjoy the roller-coaster, you are locked in... - Potential PTSD triggers! - BDSM themes! - Mentions of rape! - Mentions of abuse! - Mentions of torture! - Gun play! - Knife play! - Dark kink! (Warnings will be put at the beginning of potential trigger chapters)

Cold or numb

“And what is it about him that still makes you love him?” I asked, sensing I already knew the answer. “Oh, my dear, please try not to hold onto so much resentment for your father. He might—” “Mom!” I interrupted, my voice breaking as a sardonic laugh escaped me. “How can you still find a way to justify his actions? Even if you have some lingering feelings for him, shouldn’t they fade when you think about what he’s done to me? Am I really not as important as the man who has only brought you pain?” My emotions overwhelmed me, and I struggled to hold back my tearsThe silence enveloped us, and I could feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. I couldn't help but wonder what had clouded my mom's judgment, perhaps it was the influence of that man she called her husband. “Mom, I think it's time for you to choose a side,” I said, my voice trembling as I neared the end of my sentence, fully aware that I might never address him that way again. “You can’t keep pretending this is going to work. It’s either me or…him.” “Serena, please, you can't win against your dad. I really think you should drop any thoughts of going against him. He’s not as bad as you believe, dear. Remember, he’s the one who pays for this house and your college tuition. Your clothes and food—all of that is still his responsibility, and he’s meeting those obligations. All I ask is that you finish college, find a job, or better yet, settle down with a good man,” my mom urged, her voice tinged with an earnest desperation as if she were trying to convince not just me but herself. I listened, trying to remain calm, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips as I realized I couldn't back down from my convictions. “Alright, Mom, if you’ve chosen Mr. Andre, that’s your decision. But I won’t be swayed—I’m going to forge my own path, and I hope you’ll understand that when the time comes.” With that, a sense of resolve washed over me, and I braced myself for the future ahead, knowing it would be filled with both challenges and possibilities.
