Tower Heroes Bleak Barrens Medium Solo

Burdened by debts and on the edge of losing his workshop, Rivyn’s life turns around when he finds out that he got a mysterious System, which is different from the ones that every adventurer and blacksmith receive. This special System lets him create not only weapons and armor but potions, accessories, and Skill Books as well. Rivyn regains all his mechanical astuteness thus meaning he was given a second shot at success but at a great price. To progress he has to earn the system points for doing the hard tasks and doing it, better than anyone else. On the story’s premise, Rivyn’s talent increases with conflicts among guilds that want to monopolize the skills within the powerful organization. However, Rivyn isn’t interested in either fighting for the Renegades or becoming one of them. His only focus is mastering the art of crafting—until danger forces him to confront the truth: as strength is dominant even a simple blacksmith sometimes has to use a sword for his own protection. Given the looming complicated foes, guilds tempting and wooing him, and the ever present mystery of the System, Rivyn has to deal with the balance between craftsmanship and living. Will he grow up to be the world’s greatest blacksmith or will he be ravished by the powers that want to take him over?

In a world far larger than Earth, a cataclysmic event reshapes reality when mysterious towers appear across the continents. These towers, teeming with deadly creatures from other realms, open gateways for beings to emerge—creatures that can only leave their towers for 10 minutes at a time and cannot stray more than 10 feet from them. The appearance of these towers brings both chaos and opportunity. Great treasures, skills, and hidden knowledge lie within, but they come with a price. The world's balance teeters on the edge as these creatures wreak havoc on the land. The protagonist, a dedicated engineer, has spent years preparing for his dream job, only for the emergence of the towers to shatter his carefully laid plans. The once-predictable world is now unpredictable, and the protagonist finds himself thrust into a reality that no one could have foreseen. Along with the towers, adventurers—people who have awakened new traits and abilities—begin to appear. The protagonist, driven by frustration and a thirst for control, decides to forge his own path as an adventurer. With the knowledge he has from his engineering background and the systems granted by the towers, he embarks on a journey to explore the dungeons within the towers, uncover their treasures, and perhaps discover the means to restore order to the world. But the towers are not just a physical challenge—they are tied to the very fabric of reality itself. The protagonist must navigate not only the dangers of otherworldly creatures but also the increasingly fragmented political, geographical, and social conditions that arise from the towers’ presence. Each tower is a world unto itself, with creatures, treasures, and mysteries unique to each, and as the protagonist journeys deeper into these realms, he begins to understand that the towers might hold the key to saving—or destroying—the world. With new skills, powerful allies, and the weight of a crumbling world on his shoulders, the protagonist's quest is clear: survive, adapt, and find a way to confront the strange new system that governs this twisted reality. However, as his power grows, so too does the complexity of the world around him, and the lines between friend and foe blur. The towers’ true purpose is hidden deep within their foundations, and unlocking their secrets may be the only way to reverse the cataclysm—but will the protagonist be able to master the system before it's too late? *Towers of the Awakening* is a thrilling blend of RPG mechanics, world-building, and character development, exploring the tension between order and chaos in a world on the brink of collapse.

> “Assume nothing. Not assuming anything clears your eyes. The eyes of your mind. Understand that there is no conditioning that can prepare you for having coals branded into your eyes, being burnt to death, being raped, drowned, suffocated… repeatedly and endlessly.” > "Misfortune is a fact of nature acceptable to women, especially when it falls on other women." > "Human life holds no inherent value. Have you not realised this, child? Despite all you have witnessed? It possesses no intrinsic worth." > “Is that so? Then I will simply have to become the one who would stretch this boundary of frail morality veiled underneath a thick layer of hypocrisy and double standards." > “Because chaos is more organised than order itself. Exactly as you taught me” Torn between where to direct his life, Arthur Olvasen has to decide on a side——as quickly as possible, as the merger and the potential interracial war between Earth and Eden creeps eerily close——the Bad or the Worse. *********************** NOTE: The story is slow burn; in action, world building and as well as potential romance.

DISCLAIMER: Although the entirety of this work is based on Philippine mythology, the characters are purely the product of the author's imagination. It is a diversity of all the mythic creatures and beliefs of the ancient Filipino people before and during the era of the Spaniards. To clear up future confusion, there are various versions of the myths. Somehow, I found a way to nudge them together to create a more interesting work, but I try to keep the authenticity of our ancestors' beliefs. Thanks for reading!
