What's the most important thing in your life?
Your family?
Your memories?
Your dreams?
Your future?
Most people cling to something.
A purpose.
A person.
A promise.
But in our world?
None of that matters.
Because here....
where the Tower resets you,
where death is recycled,
where your past is erased the moment you open your eyes
there's only one thing that decides whether you live long enough to ask that question again:
Your weapon.
Not your strength.
Not your talent.
Not your willpower.
Just the cold piece of metal the Tower forces into your hands.
Some get spears blazing with fire.
Some get swords that sing with ancient power.
Some get relics that bend the world to their will.
And some…
like me…
wake up with shackles locked to their arms.
In here, your weapon isn't just important.
It's everything.
Your worth.
Your fate.
Your only chance to climb.

"What?What's this?"
I woke up to find myself trapped in this white room with this system like message hovering Infront of me.Looking around there was nothing to see but white walls and me not having memory of anything doesn't help with this.I did manage to find out my name was Kael Rhyden from the name tag that was on my neck though.
[Teleporting challengers to stage 1]
"What?"
I didn't even have enough time to process what was happening before the tower started it's first stage
{STAGE ONE:Elimate at least 3 challengers before the timer runs out}
[Timer:20 minutes]
I landed in a circular arena packed with confused people.
Dozens of them.
All armed.
Kael was looking around the arena, counting the amount of challengers and then he realised something.All of them had either a katana or a cutlass but he was the only person who had chains as a weapon.While he was thinking about it a girl walked up to him.
Short brown hair, steady eyes, gripping her cutlass like she actually knew how to use it.
"Hey,I'm Mia!what about you?"
"Kael"
"Not much of a talker, huh?" she said, raising a brow.
"But where's your sword? Didn't the system give you a choice? And why do you have… chains?"
Her words stabbed deeper than they should've.
This just fueled Kael's anger.
(This damn system is so unfair,why does everyone get an actual weapon but I'm stuck with chains?)
As Kael's anger began to pile up the black shackles attached to his arms begin to glow red as if it was getting powered up through kaels anger.
[New chain skill acquired — berserk]

"At least that's one good thing in this crappy tower…" I muttered.
Just then the system messages appeared again.
