After receiving a message from Rin ASHIBA, the girl he's in love with, Sora ISOSHI goes to a classroom at his high school where Rin had asked him to meet. But when he gets to the classroom, he finds himself alone. Thinking it was a joke, he leaves the room, but once outside, in what should be the corridor of his high school, he sees instead a large white room where, sitting on a throne at the back of the room, is Rin ASHIBA.

She tells him that he has been chosen by the Tower to try and climb it and become its new king.

But as he wasn't born into this world, he doesn't have the ability to use what all the inhabitants of the planet are able to use, the Ushi.

So Sora is given a strange power. A power with which he will try to climb the Tower, trying to fulfil Rin's wish and thus become the new King of the Tower.

The Tower King

Sora wiped the sweat from his forehead, slowly catching his breath. “So, tell me, what do I have to do to become better?” 


Jarek's smile widened, "Finally, a real question. All right, listen up. First, stop always aiming for the obvious. Your attacks, while pretty well executed, are predictable. If I can read them, so can any slightly experienced monster or mercenary." 


He picked up a stone from the ground and passed it from one hand to the other as he continued. "Secondly, learn to observe. Watch your opponents, their posture, their movements, even their breathing. A split second of hesitation on their part can be your opening." 


Sora nodded slowly, absorbing the advice. “And third?”
