The Tower appeared overnight. A monolith of bone, stone, and hunger. It did not invite — it claimed.

When the Tower emerged from the skyless void, it didn’t offer glory or salvation. It pulled people in — randomly, mercilessly — and none ever returned. Cities crumbled under its shadow. Faith broke. Magic fled. The world watched in horror as the devouring began.

But Veyne Arclith walked into it laughing.

Madman, outcast, former scholar turned nihilist — Veyne has always been fractured, his grip on reality bent by loss and strange dreams. When the Tower calls him, he doesn’t resist. Because something inside it recognizes him — and something inside him answers.

Gifted (or cursed) with a unique ability called Revelation Instinct, Veyne begins to see what others cannot: hidden doors, veiled powers, and the true nature of the Tower itself. But the deeper he goes, the more distorted the world becomes. Time loops. Reality splits. Allies die and return wrong. The Tower changes him — not by force, but by choice.

Because every secret he uncovers brings him closer to the truth:

The Tower is alive.
It remembers him.
And it’s terrified of what he might become.

Now, with the fate of what's left of the world decaying outside, Veyne must navigate endless horrors, manipulate broken souls, and confront the question the Tower itself fears most:

Who is devouring who?

The Tower runs on a metaphysical power system called Essences and Truths—a layered framework where each individual draws from personal insight, trauma, or potential. It manifests differently for everyone, but the foundation is the same:


1. Revelation Instinct (Veyne's Base Skill)


A rare skill that allows the user to glimpse hidden meanings, true intentions, and forgotten knowledge.


It grows with exposure to deeper truths or by resisting the Tower's manipulations.


Can evolve into branching forms depending on what the user chooses to see or accept.


Abstract representations of what someone has survived, overcome, or consumed.


Examples: Essence of Regret, Essence of Betrayal, Essence of Hunger.


Truths are like mental "boss levels"—fragments of universal law or personal realization the Tower exposes a person to.


Accepting a Truth changes the user forever, granting a permanent metaphysical ability.


Dangerous, because they reshape personality or perception.


Skills can be enhanced by feeding on challenges, enemies, or abstract concepts within the Tower.


Example: Veyne's new skill Hunger of the Endless lets him consume not just enemies but also memories, moments, and potential abilities—though overuse may destabilize him.
