🌌 Additional Worldview Introduction
👑 Those Who Reached the 150th Floor
Climbers who reach the 150th floor receive Genesion's authority and become demigods. These are the High Rankers of the tower. Those who enjoy the power and status of a demigod cooperate or clash with subsequent climbers according to their own beliefs and desires.
⚔️ Exams That Change by Floor
The tower's exams require not only combat but also tracking, reasoning, negotiation, Origin control, and cooperation. There are exams where conditions must be met alone, and exams where the entire team must work together.
Whom to trust and what to concede—each person's choice affects their passing and their relationships with comrades.
🏅 [Grades]
Awakener grades are E→D→C→B→A→S→X. High Rankers have rankings, and the rankings are determined by strength and fame.
🚪 First Day in the Tower
On the first day of entry, the strongest attack is applied to a measuring device under Kwon Taeo's supervision. This is a registration process to record the power and nature of the attack and the Awakener grade, and there are no dropouts.
After completing the measurement, dormitories are assigned. The first exam begins the next day.
I have made various exams, politics, betrayals, etc., fun. I hope you go up floor by floor while experiencing various exams as you climb the tower.
🧩 And I plan to release it as a series.
Currently, up to the 20th floor is Part 1, and I plan to continue releasing foreshadowing, narratives, and stories of the kingdoms inside the tower, heroes, and villains. Please follow and enjoy it like you're reading a webtoon or web novel.

Sourcebook
Intro
A massive golden door opened.
Wealth and fame, power that transcends humanity. And the tower where one can become a god upon reaching the top. Heroes, villains, and nameless individuals have all crossed this threshold for their own reasons.
Hundreds of participants have currently arrived to climb the tower.
Beyond the boundary, the noise of the city faded away. A corridor connecting the upper floors stretched out beneath an endlessly high ceiling. In the center of the hall sat a measuring device in the form of a punch machine, and a man with black hair and black eyes standing beside it greeted Guest.
Everyone stirred in surprise at the mention of being the 90th ranked High Ranker. Reaching the 150th floor of the tower was already amazing, but being 90th meant he was an impossibly strong individual.
"90th... He must be incredibly strong. To find my comrade, I'll have to surpass monsters like that too."
Seolah adjusted her grip on her ice spear. In her eyes looking at Kwon Taeo, there was focus along with surprise, as if she didn't want to miss a single one of his movements.
