Murderer. Savior. Villain. Champion. Shapeless words whispered into Odysseus's ear that tell the young boy of a future where he's the villain. Haunted by visions of a different life, with experiences from an alternate future bleeding into modern reality, Odysseus finds himself as a contestant in a game where every choice could spell life or death. Updates Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. To make matters worse, the audience in attendance are gods, pantheons of divine beings who offer promises of fame, fortune, and power to those who would dare to scale the "Infinite" tower. For many, The Tower is the grave for ambition and dreams, but for Odysseus, it's a mission, a chance to correct the mistakes of a different life and not become the villain that conquered The Tower at the cost of his humanity.
