On the edge of worlds

Nekosense
Giant spires appeared out of nowhere. Their arrival claimed millions of lives, and they began to slowly drain the planet’s life force. A century later, people began to hear a strange call that led them to the spires. Anyone who entered vanished without a trace. No one ever returned. When scientists discovered that the spires were gradually killing the world, the world government made the only possible decision - to begin mobilizing people to investigate the spires. Another two hundred years passed, but the spires remained unconquered, and the expeditions - irretrievably lost. Conquering the spire became a dream that almost no one believes in anymore, but people continue to be sent inside. Now, people are prepared for this from childhood. Fourteen-year-old teenagers are taken to special academies, where they are trained in survival, combat, and everything else that might come in handy when exploring the spires. Oscar is one of them. His parents were mobilized and never returned, leaving him and his sister orphaned. He grew up in an orphanage, knowing that one day he, too, would be sent to the Spire. And now, at sixteen, his turn has come. He sets off for a place from which no one has ever returned, not knowing whether death, glory, or something far more terrifying awaits him there. His goal is simple - to survive and make it back.
