In the final age of mankind, when the sky split open and countless Gates bled monsters into the earth, humanity's only refuge became the Towers of Babel - colossal pillars that reached toward heaven, sheltering the last remnants of civilization.
Only the Awakened can ascend these towers and grow stronger. Outside the Safe Zones, the world belongs to demons.
But when Hiraya Manawari, an ordinary college student, beaten half to death trying to save a stranger, she inherits a black, chained book - a relic that whispers prophecies of the world's end.
Visions of chaos, towers, and gods flood her mind. And when the first Gate opens, she rises from the ashes of despair - awakened by a power that does not belong to any Tower, nor to any god.
While humanity climbs toward heaven for salvation... she will descend into the darkness to rewrite destiny itself.
"In a world where strength is born from the Tower, she alone levels up without it."
