What happens when a terminally ill cancer patient gets a second chance at life? After spending five years bedridden through multiple rounds of cancer, twenty-year-old Sebastian expected to bite the bullet any day now. Instead, he wakes up chained inside a dark cave at the bottom of a towering structure known only as The Pillar. < You have been invited to the Pillar! > [Difficulty Setting: Death is Certain] To survive, Sebastian must climb floor after floor of a world designed to kill him. His only advantage is a system-granted ability that turns his body into a living source of radiation. The disease that destroyed his life has become his greatest weapon. Outmatched, under leveled, and trapped on the hardest difficulty possible, Sebastian has only one plan: Dump everything into a single stat and become a walking nuke. Because this time, if he's going out, it'll be with a boom. What to Expect: Tower Climb, Lil bit insane MC, Cat, jokes, power fantasy, various radiation based abilities gained over time, powerrrrrrr [Cover art by Palt] Four New Chapters released Mon-Thurs 9:00 AM (CST) Discord - https://discord.gg/x2m3n6HMw
