The Arcane Ascension

Sixty years ago, the Tower appeared on Azure Star, connecting humanity to countless other worlds. A place of monsters, treasures, and power, the Tower became both a battleground and a path to survival. Those who climbed it became legends—those who failed became forgotten.

Leo Heart was just another ordinary teenager… until he died in a car accident and woke up in an unfamiliar body. Transmigrated into a world where strength defines fate, he discovers that he has awakened not one, but two classes—something unheard of in history. However, his joy is short-lived when he learns the truth:

He has no elemental affinities. No inherited skills. No guaranteed path to power.

Just when despair begins to set in, the system offers him a choice: merge his classes at the risk of the unknown. Taking the gamble, he is reborn as an Arcane Mage—a class that can master both magic and artifact creation, but only if he has the knowledge to do so.

With no affinities, no ready-made skills, and an uncertain future, Leo must forge his own magic, craft his own weapons, and create his own path. His goal? To climb the Tower, find his missing parents, and uncover the mysteries of this world.

But as he steps into the unknown, forces beyond his understanding begin to move. The Lord of Chaos watches from the void, ancient beings whisper in the dark, and the balance of power in the Great Void is shifting.

Leo’s journey isn’t just about climbing the Tower anymore.

It’s about rewriting destiny itself

Leo unmuted the system notifications and stared at the screen with anticipation.

[ Trial Completed – Survival Achieved ]

[ Performance Evaluation – Excellent ]

[ Rewards: Phantom Boots (A-Rank), Trial Key (Bronze Rank) ]

Shoes crafted from the hide of Phantom Beasts.

Creates a mirage image while running.

Can generate a phantom clone without strength.

Grants access to Bronze-Rank Inheritance Trials.

Leo's eyes widened in shock. An A-Rank artifact?!

Artifacts were incredibly rare treasures, often passed down as family heirlooms. Most Awakeners never possessed an artifact of the same rank as themselves.

Yet—he had received one on the very first floor?

What Leo didn't realize was that his trial was only meant to test survival. But he overachieved—not only surviving but eliminating all threats before the trial even ended. This boosted his performance evaluation, allowing him to earn far greater rewards than usual.

Then, his gaze fell upon the Bronze Trial Key.

The 10th Floor of the Tower—also known as the "Grave of Geniuses."

A place where the strongest challengers fell.

It was once an ordinary planet, but everything changed when a legendary genius—the first person to ever reach SSS-Rank—was born there.

When he was dying, he chose to be buried on his home planet. But he also left behind an Inheritance Trial—a test to pass on his legacy.

Many came seeking his treasure—but no one ever obtained it.

Instead, something unexpected happened.

More powerful beings decided to bury themselves there as well, each creating their own trials. Over time, it became a tradition—a sacred battleground where only Tower-acknowledged geniuses could attempt the trials.

To enter, one needed a Trial Key—graded from Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum, Ruby, and Mystic.

Trial Keys could be upgraded by obtaining high evaluation ratings on floor trials. If he continued excelling, he could one day reach the highest-ranked Inheritance Trials.

Leo clenched his fists. This was his golden opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled up his Status Screen.

The higher the Wisdom stat, the faster the learning process.

Increases processing speed of information.

{Mana Manipulation (MAX) – Passive}

Higher Intelligence boosts mana control and attack power.

Higher Constitution increases resistance to mana-based attacks.

Leo grinned. His progress was insane for the first floor.

"System, allocate all unassigned stats to Wisdom."

Many would call this decision reckless. But for Leo—it was the only choice.

His class, Arcane Mage, wasn't a combat-focused class—it was built for knowledge.

And knowledge was the true path to ultimate power.

Wisdom would accelerate his learning speed. If he could process information faster, he could learn new skills, spells, and strategies at a rate no one else could match.

Leo exhaled deeply, gazing up at the sky.
