Inside the tower were floors filled with monsters, gods, curses, relics and hard trials.
People had to climb the tower to survive.
Many groups, called Guilds formed.
Some kingdoms even fell apart.
The strong people became the leaders.
Adrian Chapman was once the best climber humanity had.
Then he became the biggest traitor.
After reaching Floor 97 Adrian got betrayed by his friends.
He and his friends had been climbing together for twenty years.
They even killed him to get the relic called the Heart of Chronos.
Instead of dying
Adrian goes back twenty years into the past.
This was before the Tower even appeared.
This time he does not want to be a hero.
He wants to become the guy that every climber fears.
He will take all the relics for himself.
He will stop heroes from becoming strong.
He will control kingdoms. Conquer the Tower by himself.
He does not care if people call him a monster.
Chapter 1
Adrian Chapman slammed a dying man against a wet wall in a narrow London alley. The rain was coming down hard mixing with the blood on the ground. Adrians body felt weak not like the person he used to be in the Black Tower.. His mind was still sharp from all the bad things he had been through. Marcus Hale, the man he was holding was not a person now but one day he would be a leader in the Golden Vanguard and try to hurt Adrian. Not this time, though.
"You were supposed to be my friend " Adrian said, his voice. Steady. He held Marcuss throat tight. "I know what you will do in the future."
Marcus was. His eyes were wide with fear. "I do not know you! Let me go!"
Adrian used a power he had taken from a bad artifact. Black smoke went around his arm and into Marcuss chest.
Sin Authority. Devour activated.
Adrian felt a rush of power. He saw memories of people betraying him and got some skills. His rank went up.
Rank increased: F to E. Mana capacity +15%. Shadow manipulation unlocked at level.
Marcuss body. Then he went still. Adrian let him go and wiped his hands on his coat. He did not feel bad. Being kind had hurt him before. This time he would get stronger by getting rid of people who were weak. The Black Tower would appear in three days. He wanted to be the strongest when it did.
As he turned to leave he heard footsteps behind him. Adrian spun around ready to fight. A tall strong young man stood at the alley entrance wet from the rain. It was Tobias Ohon, a person who would be very good at fighting in the Tower. In the past Tobias had been a fighter but he had also failed to help people. Now he looked at the body.
"You killed him without feeling anything " Tobias said, his voice firm. "I can smell the power on you. That was not a fight."
Adrian looked at Tobias quickly. Tobias was a person who believed in justice and was very strong. He could be an ally if Adrian could teach him. "The man was going to be a problem. The Tower is. People like him will hold us back. I got rid of a weakness."
Tobias took a step forward his fists clenched. "There are still laws. You cannot decide who lives or dies."
"The laws will not matter when the Tower comes " Adrian said. "I have seen it. I know what we need to do to survive. Join me. Stay out of my way. We could use your skills as brothers in this fight."
Tobias hesitated. He wanted to do what was right. He also saw how strong Adrian was. "Brothers? After what I saw? Prove you are not a killer."
A siren was heard in the distance as the rain kept falling. Adrian nodded. "I will prove it with my actions. The Tower will be here soon.. Watch. Learn about the power system that will change everything."
They left the alley together starting a partnership that was necessary for survival. Tobias followed Adrian watching his power. Adrian explained how the rankings worked.
"Everyone starts at the bottom. We get stronger by killing monsters or taking their power. My special ability lets me take skills and power. It is the key to getting stronger."
Tobias. Asked questions about how the power worked. "My instincts make me stronger after I kill. Like a predator getting better."
"That is good " Adrian said. "We will get stronger together. We cannot be weak."
They went to a hidden warehouse where Adrian had stored supplies. Adrian showed Tobias how to fight with his power. Each hit made Adrian a little stronger. Tobias joined in. Got stronger too.
At the end of the training they got a message.
Temporary party formed. Shared experience gain increased by 10%.
Tobias wiped the sweat from his face. "You fight like someone who has been through a lot. I will watch you brother. If you lead us right I will stand with you against the Tower."
Adrian nodded, respecting Tobias. Their partnership felt strong, like metal between warriors. They parted ways as the night fell, with Tobias promising to meet at the Tower entrance.
Later Adrian looked at his status.
Name: Adrian Chapman
Rank: E
Class: Shadow Initiate (evolving toward Abyss Tyrant)
Skills: Sin Authority. Devour (Basic) Minor Shadow Manipulation
Stats: Strength 28 Agility 35 Mana 42
Deep down Adrian knew there would be surprises. The Tower chose its challenges carefully. He would become the person it needed.
Adrian moved through Londons streets the day the Ring of Minor Eclipse in his possession. The artifact made his shadow skills better.
Skill upgrade: Minor Shadow Manipulation to Intermediate. Mana efficiency +25%. Rank progress: E to high E.
He tested it by hiding in shadows to sneak security at an old research facility. Inside he found Thomas Riddler, a genius scholar working on relics.
"You understand how cursed things work " Adrian said. "Join us. We will get stronger with forbidden power."
Thomass eyes lit up with excitement. "Your Devour ability could help my experiments. Let us be partners in this."
They formed an alliance quickly. Tobias arrived soon tracking Adrians power. "Brother there is activity in the city. People with powers are gathering."
Together they cleared a nest of monsters that had come through early cracks in the dimensions. Adrian took the power of five monsters getting stronger and more resistant to curses. Tobiass senses got sharper letting him predict the monsters movements.
Tobias Rank: F, to E. Shared party bonus applied.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
THE CHRONO WITCH: BENDING TIME TO SAVE HIM
What she wasn't ready for was finding out Zayn Ponteris had been dead the entire time.
The grief shatters something inside her. And before anyone can stop it, Kayla does something no sorceress should be able to do—she travels back in time.
Suddenly she's fifteen again, standing at their end of year formal, with Zayn alive and right in front of her, completely unaware that in another timeline she watched his parents mourn him.
This time, Kayla is determined to save him. Except nothing goes according to plan.
Zayn has a girlfriend. And the closer Kayla gets to changing his fate, the more she realizes her powers are bigger and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
The supernatural world is closing in. The clock is running out. And the one person standing between Kayla and everything hunting her is the same boy she keeps bending time to protect.
Kayla has no idea what's in store for her.
Because when you bend time, fate bends back.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
The Softest Chains
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
