One day, without warning, gargantuan towers appear around the globe. Humanity’s surprise and puzzlement soon turn to panic and terror, as swarms of horrific monsters descend upon the world to wreak havoc. Mankind’s only hope for survival rests on Jaehwan and his fellow Tower Walkers, who are tasked with one mission—Climb to the top. …Or so they believed. Jaehwan begins to sense that things are not what they seem, and he must trust no one but himself. As webs of deception threaten to ensnare him at every turn, can Jaehwan reach Floor 100 and finally uncover the truth?
The tutorial is over, and Jaehwan’s journey continues in the vast realm of Chaos! After years of solitude inside the Tower, he finds himself in the company of others once again. But something seems...off with these people. When the terrible truth about Chaos finally dawns on him, Jaehwan must find the answer to the question—what does it mean to be human?
As he scrambles to save Mino’s deteriorating soul, Jaehwan is suddenly transported to a strange dimension. There, he faces a mysterious old man who wields a power similar to his own-the power of Awakening! His interest is piqued when the ancient warrior claims to have known the Dream Demon Mulak, the cryptic architect of the Nightmare Tower that appeared on Earth! But before the man can tell the full story, an aura of bottomless dread descends upon the fortress. Something has awakened, something that whispers death and despair. For the first time ever, Jaehwan must fight with his full strength if he is to survive the impending doom…
Despite being pushed to his limits like never before, Jaehwan manages to banish Sovereign Catastrophe. This feat earns him the title of the next Gorgon Castle Lord, as his predecessor expires from the ordeal. But Jaehwan has no time to sit around in an office with a mountain of paperwork! His goal remains the same—lead an expedition into the Abyss. For this undertaking, he must have only the strongest allies at his side… and what better way to gauge their skills than crossing blades with them himself? So begins the tournament that pits Jaehwan against the best fighters in all of Chaos!
Jaehwan has demonstrated both his power and shrewdness for all to see, but the tournament is not over yet! This time, it’s his character that will be put to the test to determine whether he is fit to lead the Abyss Expedition. However, it’s immediately obvious that he is being set up to fail with an age-old dilemma—sacrifice the few to save the many, or risk losing everything to save the few? Either choice is guaranteed to make him look bad, and Jaehwan for once finds himself facing an obstacle he cannot simply blast through…or can he?
Despite all the setbacks, preparations for the Abyss Expedition are nearly complete. There’s only one more thing to take care of before setting out—destroying the magic portal to end the Great Realm’s meddling once and for all! But what was supposed to be a straightforward assault goes south when the dream demon Sirwen appears to defend the portal. Entrapped inside her mysterious ability, Jaehwan is forced to relive the darkest moments of his past…from his life before the Nightmare Tower.
The long-awaited attack on the Recovery Palace is proceeding smoothly. The forces guarding the precious Fruits of Revival are strong but still no match for Jaehwan’s power of Awakening! However, things go south quickly when Garam Samyeong, a renowned warrior from the Great Realm, joins the fray. To stand a chance against this overwhelming threat, Jaehwan must unlock the next stage of his powers—Genesis!
At last, with all preparations complete, the Abyss Expedition sets out! Their journey to the edge of the realm takes them to the Factory of Curiosities, where horned beasts are manufactured. It is at the doorstep of this bizarre facility that the group faces their final and toughest challenge—an elite force of Masters here to crush Chaos once and for all! To gain the power to stand against this overwhelming enemy, Jaehwan ventures deep into the Factory to seek out an even greater threat…
Jaehwan’s long struggle in the vast realm of Chaos has come to a head. Between him and the entryway to Abyss stands an elite force of Masters one hundred strong. But Jaehwan has come to far to turn back—he will climb higher, even if it means paying the ultimate price...
Since the moment Jaehwan entered Abyss, the surprises haven’t stopped. Shortly after accidentally devouring a god and becoming her agent, he runs into a familiar face he never expected to see again—Yunhwan! But before Jaehwan can call out to his old friend from the Tower days, Yunhwan is dragged away in chains. And in a cruel twist of fate, Jaehwan’s search for his ex-comrade leads him to a structure he knows all too well—a Nightmare Tower.
Jaehwan’s unprecedented actions are making waves in Metaverse and catching the attention of many…including some very powerful forces. The higher-ups have taken notice of him, and they’ve decided it’s time to squash this upstart once and for all with overwhelming force. Things are looking dire for the awoken one, until an unexpected ally joins the battle…
Jaehwan’s fight to destroy the world continues, and with some unexpected backup from the mysterious organization Rupture, his companions see a glimmer of hope… until the very sky is torn asunder, and gods descend upon the battlefield. Of the trio of powerful deities, Jaehwan’s first opponent is the God of Assassins, Lakus, who has ruled his realm for centuries with an iron fist of terror and despair. Undaunted, the Awoken One defiantly readies his blade, but how can one fight an enemy they can’t see or hear?
Following an earth-shattering battle, Jaehwan finally advances to the next floor of Metaverse, and what awaits him there is…“yesterday.” A realm where countless gods slumber in blissful ignorance, reliving happy moments from their pasts—it goes against everything the forward-looking Jaehwan stands for, but words alone won’t convince these dreamers to wake up and face reality. It’s time for a revolution!
Bulging muscles, burning passion, and not a shred of clothing—the reformed gods of the 7th floor rally behind Jaehwan, the man who gave their lives meaning again. But even with an army, it won’t be easy to reclaim the kingdom. The Goddess of Yesterday, Artena has a trump card up her sleeve that bans all “adults”! How will Jaehwan, a fully grown man, deal with this unexpected restriction?
All eyes are on Jaehwan. Thanks to his bold declaration, his upcoming battle with the head of the union turns into a complicated mess with powerful factions like Rupture and the Seven Supreme Gods getting involved! But thankfully, an old ally comes to his aid. Accompanied by the clanking of silver chains and reciting articles from Gorgon’s laws, Carlton joins the fray to support his castle lord!
