Author’s Note: For the starving fans of Overlord and those that love the lore of Tower of Trials, I hope my story can satisfy your perpetual hunger.

In the far future, humanity had survived the devastation of the Third World War and was barely healing when the Tower descended from the cosmos. Introducing the "path to ascension" , a brutal system of leveling up, left the world wondering: was this a blessing or a curse?

Seventeen years have passed, and the world is now ruled by the Ascenders. Caught in this mess is Daemon, a young survivor living in the slums of the Grand Union Domain. Faced with a harsh future, he risks everything and enters the Tower. 

Can humanity survive the trials ahead? And can Daemon leave behind his poverty and weakness to carve a future for himself in a world where only the strongest remain?
