Ascend by Lies

Heroes rise by strength.

He rises by betrayal.



When Lucien Vale wakes up at the bottom of the Black Tower, he has nothing—no powers, no allies, no future. Dropped into a death game with one rule: Survive or be devoured.



But unlike the others, Lucien isn’t interested in glory, honor, or teamwork.



He doesn't swing swords. He doesn't cast spells.



He lies.

He manipulates.

He kills from the shadows… and levels up from it.



His system rewards deception.

His skills evolve through betrayal.

And every alliance he forms is just another blade hidden behind a smile.



[Trait Unlocked: Apex Deceiver — Each betrayal deepens your power. Every lie brings you closer to the throne.]



While others bleed and die for justice, Lucien plays the long game.



Because in the Tower, strength isn’t enough.

Only monsters survive.

And he plans to become the most dangerous one of all.
