The universe thinks it can have time to itself. Well, the Locksmith is about to change that. The Logos Tower is a prison created by accident; never meant to exist. But it does. And now it joins history's greatest criminals and villains. It is only a matter of time until one of them gets to the top and retrieves the God Emblem; a powerful artifact capable of granting any wish. That is, if the Locksmith doesn't get there first. Harry "The Locksmith" Bockart is a notorious thief who has stolen from nobles and even kings. With the Door Emblem, which allows him to summon doors and portals all around the battlefield, no vault has ever stopped him. But the Tower's floors can change that. From floating islands to carnivorous ships and brutal games in a Colosseum, each level has its dangers. If he gets to the top, he knows exactly what he will wish for. Something the universe already said no to once. A chance to overrule death and change his life once and for all. He thinks it'll be a bummer. But who is he kidding? Harry is sure to love the Tower. Let's just hope the Tower loves him back.The story is complete! Over 40+ chapters of backlog.
