While leading an ordinary life in a quiet village, everything changes for Kael when he encounters Ashael, the daughter of the forbidden Dark Elves. Although he appears to be an ordinary 14-year-old boy, the blood of two different powers flows through his veins: fire magic from his human lineage and dark magic from his demon lineage. However, rather than a gift, these powers are turning into a curse that grows heavier by the day. As a half-human, half-demon, Kael suffers great pain, especially when connecting with dark magic. This power, unique to the demon race, refuses to harmonize with Kael's half-human body. While he struggles to restrain these uncontrollable forces, he begins to realize that the past he is trying to escape is following him step by step. Across all five great kingdoms, a deep-seated fear and hatred for demons prevail. Kael is a hybrid caught in the crosshairs of this hatred, fighting to survive. In this process, the doors of a world filled with friendship, betrayal, and dark secrets open one by one.

Gaming streamer Jinhyeok Kang spent eleven years obsessively playing Tower of Trials, a game that everyone else abandoned as garbage. But even Jinhyeok never would have guessed that the fifty-level tower from his beloved game would appear in real life-and that the fate of the entire world depended on clearing it. Fortunately for humanity, Jinhyeok happens to be the only player who has ever cleared the whole tower. Armed with his encyclopedic knowledge of the game and an ability to copy others' abilities and combine them into unique powers, Jinhyeok is ready to take on the tower. But he has no intention of saving the world for free-he's determined to reap all the riches, followers, and fame of an S-grade hero. Has his new abilities drained away his humanity...or did he gain those powers because he was becoming a monster?
