You have been invited. The Tower will appear in 77 days. You will be tested. A mysterious signal is detected simultaneously at several space centers, decoded to reveal an enigmatic message. Initially dismissed as a prank, the situation rapidly escalates as scientists and officials scramble to find a solution to an uncertain threat. But when The Tower finally appears, it defies all expectations. No explanations are given. No further messages, no prompts, no guiding systems. Those inside the Tower must make their own decisions in complete isolation. Will they rise to the challenge or succumb to despair? What is the true purpose of The Tower, and what does it mean for humanity? What to expect: 1. Weak to strong MC2. Science-based evolution and mutations3. Real-world involvement (multiple POV)4. Ever-growing mystery5. LitRPG elements that grow as the story progresses6. Large-scale worldbuilding7. Slow-burn character growth
