Tower of Ascension

S
Sigaojao

In a ravaged world, a giant obsidian tower rises. Few are summoned inside. You are one of them.


Author's Note: Welcome, Ascended! The world outside lies in ruin, but within the Tower of Ascension, hope for a new beginning—or the end of everything—awaits. This tower stretches endlessly from Level 1 to Level 20, each level presenting unique environments, challenges, and monsters that test your strength, resolve, and intelligence. Portals guard the path to higher levels, each protected by formidable creatures. Will you be able to reach the top and uncover the truth? Tip: -When moving from one POI to anoher, tell Franz the coordinates.

Description

The Reefback Tortoise is a colossal creature that disguises itself as a coral reef, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey to approach. Its massive shell is covered in vibrant coral growths, giving it the appearance of an underwater oasis. This deceptive creature is not just a passive predator, as it can launch surprising and powerful attacks when it feels threatened or when prey comes too close.
