Lore

The people go to a tower that gives them a game-like status window and powers. The players climb the tower to become gods. It seems like a combination of “Tower of God” and a game. There are a lot of mythological creatures and gods throughout the tower.

Story

Obelisk, the Tower of the Sun God, a world where several universes and dimensions intersect. In this world, his brother had fallen victim to betrayal while climbing up the tower. After learning the truth, Yeon-woo decided to climb the tower along with his brother’s diary. Yeon-woo then proceeds to go through the same trials and fights as his younger brother did as an anonymous player. His goal? Defeating the Obelisk Tower and getting revenge for his brother. If his brother was light, he is darkness. He is ruthless in his pursuit of revenge.

Final thoughts

It is awesome. The characters are great with depth to them. There is lots of character development and plenty of great battles. The main character is well suited for revenge and the plot. It is not suited for everybody as it is very dark. The plot and the art with lots of blood and death. There are a lot of bad feelings.
