None Shall Climb
“Is it not enough that I was born with nothing…? That I have nothing…? That… I am nothing…?”
Deep down, I really believed that if I just tried hard enough, if I stood up, if I reached out, if I cared, then maybe the Tower would see me. Maybe if I did the right thing and did what’s right could still matter… even for someone like me.
However, that was a stupid and a foolish mistake. Because the Tower doesn’t listen to people who don’t have power!
I mean... I can cry and scream all my life, all my lungs, and all I wanted.
But.
Unless I have something the Tower wants, it will never hear me. So then...
What if I, a NONE with NOTHING, climb the Tower built only for those with SOMETHING?
None Shall Climb.

Note: The author is a complete newbie and this is my first time writing a first-person POV. Thus if I dare request, don't expect this as such a grand story.
I’m giving my own novel 1 star not because I hate it, but because I’m the author and I don’t think my opinion counts either way. In fact, all of your feedback matters. I never delete reviews too (good or bad), so feel free to check them out and see what others are saying. But here’s a quick idea of what you’re getting into with this story: 01: When I first started writing, I had absolutely no idea how to handle a first-person perspective. I remember staring at the page thinking, "How the fudge am I supposed to describe anything from inside a character’s head?" Still, I gave it my all. 02: The main character, Rhaen, is deeply flawed. He’s not some overpowered, perfect protagonist. He’s a little hotheaded, but his sharp mind shines even though he never had the chance to receive a proper education. 03: I wanted to keep things human. People screw up. They do dumb things, selfish things, sometimes even morally gray things. But most of the time, they’re just trying to survive. That’s what this story reflects. 04: This is a tower-climbing trope, but I will try to keep things original. Also, feel free to leave a review if you didn’t like it, but please make it informative if possible. 05: I won’t be revising the previous chapters repeatedly like 777. I realized that writing isn’t about chasing perfection, but writing because I want to tell a story even if it’s flawed. 06: I’m just a student. Writing is just something I picked up along the way. Sometimes I write after school, sometimes between assignments, sometimes just want to write. It’s not always polished. I still mess up grammar or pacing. 07: Just to be clear: there is no harem, and I doubt there’s even a small chance of romance. That’s not what this story is about. Anyway, thank you for reading and I love everyone who reads my story until the end.
The only thing better than this novel is the author himself uooohhhhh 😭😭😭😭
Six chapters in, and already loving it. From the writing quality to story itself, everything is top-notch.
This one's dark and witty. The writing style is introspective, and it's easy to follow, too. I totally recommend it to anyone looking for an immersive story :)
it's clear that the author should've went to therapy instead of writing a book 🥀
