The Weight of an Empire

The tower stands eternal, a trial of blood and magic where 10,000 contenders fight to claim the throne of Alyria. The first to conquer all 100 floors will rule the world.



Aether, a prince from a forgotten island, enters the tower with nothing—no wealth, no allies, only his sword and an unbreakable will. Among prodigies and warlords, he is an underdog. But the tower is more than a battleground; it is a forge that reshapes all who dare to climb it.



As Aether rises, he uncovers secrets buried in the tower’s depths—truths that hint at a far greater war beyond its walls. He entered seeking survival.



He will leave as a legend.







I have a good bit of this written, so I plan to be releasing more at the start and tempering off from there. I hope you enjoy, and please, let me know what you think!
