Nox St. Dolor was supposed to die. As the machines in his hospital room droned their final, sorrowful notes and the world faded to black, he was sure his story had reached its end. But death wasn’t waiting for him. Instead, he fell—into a swirling void of colors, into an unfamiliar world, into *the Tower*, a mysterious realm where magic and danger collide. The Tower is no ordinary world: it’s a sprawling, self-contained universe with countless floors, each one more perilous than the last. From lush starter zones teeming with life to labyrinthine dungeons filled with unspeakable horrors, the Tower challenges climbers, or "Rankers," to ascend its floors by completing trials and defeating monsters. Some climb for power. Others, for escape. For Nox, the Tower becomes his only chance to uncover why he was brought here—and how he can survive.

Synopsis: The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign War. Betrayal. Power. And the will of one man to seize it all. Kael Ashmark was born without a name, an orphan of war found amidst the ashes of Ashmark Hold, a frontier keep left to rot by a fractured Empire. Raised by scavengers, he learned to survive by instinct, his hands honed for a blade long before he learned to read. At sixteen, after witnessing Imperial forces butcher innocent families while their garrison turned a blind eye, Kael made his first kill in retribution, swearing never again to kneel to a crown that failed its people. From the dying highlands of Gravenmarsh, Kael forged the **Iron Rebellion**. With raw conviction, he united outlaws, peasants, and deserters, first striking with brutal ambushes that earned him the whispered title of "Sovereign". His audacious capture of Duskwatch Fortress shattered Imperial complacency. As the Empire's High Crown Orsain Vellgaard and the fanatical Archlector Malgrad declared his rise heresy and prepared for a total "judgment," Kael unveiled a desperate new strategy: not open battle, but a war of attrition. He unleashed a **scorched earth** campaign, turning fertile lands into barren ash, forcing his own loyal villagers into the harsh mountain holds of Ravencair. His Red Veil, led by the zealous and terrifying Seyda, became a haunting force, melting into shadows to stalk Imperial patrols and leave chilling messages of dread. Lady Virelle Velmire, a cunning noble with ambitions as cold as steel, joined his cause, skillfully poisoning Imperial supply lines with doubt and misinformation. Even the loyalties of Imperial spies, like the conflicted Nalen, began to fracture, turning the Empire's own blades against itself. As the gargantuan Imperial Legions lumber north, plagued by hunger, sickness, and mounting paranoia, Kael’s defiance grinds them to a desperate crawl. He watches them succumb to the brutal choices he forces upon them, turning the very machine designed to crush him into a monstrous reflection of its own cruelty. But as the war intensifies, and his people endure untold suffering in the mountain holds, Kael must confront the one thing he never wanted: what comes after victory? Will he become the tyrant he fought against, or will he forge something new—an empire not born of bloodlines, but of belief? *The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign* is a raw, uncompromising tale of brutal strategy, shifting power, and the profound cost of defiance in a world ruled by bloodlines and betrayal. Discover one man’s relentless ascent from nothing, until the kingdoms whispered his name in fear.

Once bound to a world, there's no turning back. The mission is clear: lead your world, crush the rest, and carve your name into the foundation of reality. This isn’t just survival.

As the great villages scramble to uncover his true purpose, one truth becomes undeniable: Judgment is no longer an ideal—it has taken form, and it shows no mercy. The age of war is over. The age of reckoning has begun. ~~~ Patreon.com/Bleam — Currently You can Read 100 Chapters Ahead of Others!

Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret. His body, soft and bloated, seems to mirror the weight of his apathy—a monument to years of bad decisions and the crushing inertia of laziness. His parents look at him with disappointment, his classmates avoid him like a bad smell, and the girls, even the kind ones, can barely disguise their pity. He’s bullied, mocked, and ignored, but Charlie doesn’t care. Not really. Or so he tells himself. Until one day, a moment so small and humiliating it shouldn’t matter tears open the carefully constructed wall of indifference he’s built around himself. For the first time in years, Charlie feels something stir deep inside—a spark of something raw, terrifying, and undeniable. Then, one night, everything changes. A system appears, a voice in his mind that speaks of transformation, power, and redemption. It offers him a choice: to stay as he is and sink deeper into the void of his existence, or to rise—literally—and reshape himself, body and soul. The system promises him a path, but it won’t be easy. To shed the weight of his old self, Charlie must first face the physical and emotional burdens he’s carried for so long. The path is brutal, filled with trials that test his mind, body, and spirit. But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal. Can Charlie rise above the weight of his past, or will the weight of the world crush him once and for all?

No blessing. No god. No mercy. For fifteen years, Jin Black was nothing more than a bottom-feeder—powerless, mocked, and discarded by a world ruled by divine favoritism. In a society where entrance to the Tower—humanity's only hope and battlefield—requires a blessing from the gods, Jin was denied even that. Forgotten by the divine. Abandoned by the people. Crushed by the system. And when the Tower finally collapsed, bringing apocalypse to Earth, Jin died—alone, bitter, and broken. But death was only the beginning. In the void beyond the end, a voice called to him. Not a savior… but something far worse. The Hollow God, the first and most ancient evil, long sealed away by the pantheon, reaches out—not in kindness, but in shared hatred. “You cursed them. So did I. Let us curse them together.” Reborn on the day of the Blessing Ceremony, Jin hides the power gifted by the Hollow God. Now fifteen once again, he begins his quiet ascent up the 100-Floor Tower—not to become a hero, but to annihilate the gods and their chosen. With a plague mask and a suit, the one known only as “Hollow” begins to rise. He is not a Chosen. He is the blight of divinity. And the Tower will burn.

They called her Nine — a number, not a name. A child raised in shadows, forged in blood, and baptized in silence. In the broken kingdom of Varelia, children are trained not to live, but to kill. For when the Winter comes, only weapons survive. But Nine is more than a weapon. Beneath her skin lies a secret buried by gods, and a soul touched by something ancient... and burning. Across fractured kingdoms and beneath crumbling skies, a bastard prince plots in silence. Hidden behind wide eyes and false weakness, he seeks a flower that blooms only in death — and the blood of a god but god's are dead. When every Child swore to protect the great wall, he swore to break it. When the creed sends its young assassins beyond the wall to hunt monsters of the long night, betrayals unfold, truths awaken, and destinies clash. Because some flames refuse to be extinguished. And some monsters… wear human faces. "You think Light makes you pure? Ask the Sun what it burns to stay Alive" An exiled priest once said. "You're not Chosen, You're cursed. The gods just wrapped it prettier" A traitor once said. "Your mistake wasn't trusting me, it was thinking I need your trust" A mentor once said. "Let them call me Villain, History always forgets the blood that built peace" Veyric once said READER ADVISORY: Everything in this world is handcrafted — from currency to the most basic details. My characters are morally gray, and each one is forged through relentless trials, not born into greatness. If you're hypersensitive, this story isn't for you. This book is brutal, raw, and unapologetically different. But if you’re craving something bold, dark, and unlike anything you’ve read before — step in. Thanks for reading.

Villain System: Activated > Alignment: Chaotic Evil Objective: Obey the plot, serve the empire, die like a good villain. Yeah, no thanks. I woke up as Dorian Valen—sadistic noble, arsonist, war criminal, mid-tier villain with a face everyone wants to stab. The story wants me to beg for my life, cough up secrets, and die at sunrise so the hero can get a shiny new power-up. Been there, read that. But I'm not here to follow the script. I'm here to flip the table. I’ll expose the cracks in the empire, dismantle the hero’s halo, weaponize every trope, and corrupt the system that tried to cage me. And if I have to burn the world down to do it? Well… I’ve got the villain system. Might as well make it earn its name.
