Nearly all her life, The Eternal Elysium had walked the line between her dreams and her reality. She had struggled to put together the tiny bits and pieces of the story that played over and over again endlessly in her own mind. But it had been an impossible task. Or at least, it used to be. Because soon enough, her determination to stay with her twin, The 25th Bam, would lead her right back into the place where it had all began, and where it had all ended. ✰✰✰✰ Welcome to a world where a tale has been all but forgotten by its very own hero and cast away by its very own villain. But more importantly, welcome to a world where memories fight to reach the surface and where the remaining fragments of 𝘩𝘦𝘳 beg to be found. Let us reopen the book that has long since been closed . . . as it is time for the next chapter of this unfinished story to begin. *Disclaimer* This is a story based off of the webtoon, "Tower of God" by SIU. I do not own the setting nor most of the characters who appear in this story.

❝I already have a claim on your soul. I won't allow anyone to take it from me.❞ Aria, the Black Swan. In the tower, that name is known to have belonged to a hero who put everything on the line for a chance at peace. She was an irregular with grace in her every step, thought in her every move, and selflessness in her every decision. But more than that, she was a girl with a past she could never outrun. And she was a girl who could make even the worst of people falter. . . But not without paying a price. Not without making a deal with the devil himself. That is, a psychotic devil with the title of a Slayer, with cruelty in his every action, malice in his every intent, and manipulation in his every word. He was a monster who went by the name of "White." And in the end, what he took from her was simple. . . . 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 *Note* I began writing this BEFORE Aria in the Webtoon was introduced, so my OC and her aren't the same person. *Disclaimer* I do not own some of the terms used as well as any of the characters apart from my OCs as this is a story based off of the webtoon, "Tower of God" by SIU.

❝ Then at the very least, I'll be able to save you. ❞ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Kim Dokja had been the sole reader of a certain web novel for years. It had become his escape, his inspiration, his love. And then it had become his reality. Instead of reading about the characters he dreamed about, he was now living alongside them. The protagonist, Yoo Joonghyuk. His student, Lee Jihye. His shield, Lee Hyunsung. His partner, Lee Seolhwa. And his sworn enemy. Or, better known to Kim Dokja, his favourite character who disappeared after the 999th regression. The hacker who infiltrated each of Yoo Joonghyuk's regressions; Seo Jinhwan. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
