Cosmic Tower: A Cultivation Apocalypse

Welcome, Climber! Reach the top or die like trash! Gary was a disillusioned programmer, alone in a new city, burning his time on videogames but feeling unfulfilled. Trying to escape loneliness. Just when he mustered the courage to talk to the girl he liked, the Network arrived to Earth, slaughtering billions. A planet collapsed in an instant. Before the survivors could recover, they were uprooted and thrown into a vast, alien trial: the Cosmic Tower. Finding himself in a forest teeming with crippled orcs, jesters who feast on beating hearts, and mysterious cultivators, Gary's scared and alone -- again. The only way to survive is power, to grow stronger with every kill, but even stats aren't enough. He needs the power of Aura. To climb the tower, Gary must work harder, act smarter, and risk more than everyone else. But he will do it, as will the other survivors of Earth, because their planet got slaughtered. They will rise, floor by floor, and demand an explanation from the Emperor or die trying. “If the System has rules, we will break them. If clans and monsters get in our way, we will break them. If the heavens block us, we will break them. Until we’re all dead, we will reach the peak, and we will have our revenge. And Gary Steel, the Champion of Earth, will do it for us.” They will not break us. We will break them. One floor at a time.
