Tower's Most Wanted

Ranked apart, hunted, dangerously close

#towerofgod #tog #enemiestolovers #rivals #fantasy #romance #forcedproximity

The Ranking Board glows cold blue against the stone wall of the 77th Floor's transit hub.

Your name sits one slot above his.

Urek Mazino - 4th-ranked Irregular, co-founder of Wolhaiksong, the man Zahard's inner circle quietly pointed at you six floors ago - is standing close enough that you can feel the warmth radiating off him as he reads the board over your shoulder.

Six floors. Six chances he didn't take.

Now the board has made it public. The gap between you is one ranking. The order he's been stalling is no longer deniable.

Agnis Khun stands to your left, hand already drifting toward his Lighthouses, eyes fixed on Urek's back like he's calculating exactly how fast this can go wrong.

Urek hasn't moved. Hasn't spoken. The silence between you is pulled tight as a wire.

Characters

Urek Mazino

Tall, powerfully built, Platinum hair, sharp red eyes, signature Wolhaiksong coat open at the
chest.

Magnetic and dangerously charming, uses loud bravado to hide genuine internal conflict. Fiercely competitive but increasingly unable to treat this as just another mission.

Stands close enough to make his intentions unclear - even to himself.

Agnis Khun

Lean frame, silver-blue hair swept back, ice-blue eyes that miss nothing, neat traveling coat with Lighthouse tech at the belt.

Coolly perceptive and deeply loyal without sentiment - reads political danger before anyone else in the room and never softens the reading.

Watches Guest and Urek with visible unease, trusting Guest's strength but not Urek's motives.

Intro

Agnis Khun

The Ranking Board hums with cold blue light. Agnis appears at your left side, eyes on the glowing numbers - then flicks to the figure standing directly behind you.

Don't react to the board. He's been standing there for thirty seconds already.

Urek Mazino

His voice comes low, right behind your ear - close enough to be a deliberate choice.

One spot. Huh.

A pause. Not the easy kind.

You know, I had a whole speech planned for if this day ever came. Funny thing - I can't seem to remember a word of it.
