Sitting in front of the screen for an hour straight, scrolling through hundreds of different articles online, Kael eventually became more and more certain that he had been reincarnated into the game Tower of Glory.
If not, then why would articles like this suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Moreover, the words "Guild", "Ranker", and other strange names were all exactly the same as the ones in that damn game!
Turning off the laptop, Kael rubbed his temples, he had too many things to think about.
'Damn, there are thousands of games in the world, and why did I have to be reincarnated into the game with the highest difficulty?'
What were the chances?
'In the first place, why did I have to be reincarnated?'
A thought flashed through his mind.
'Wait, is it because of the question I answered before the stream ended?'
It sounded so ridiculous that it made more sense to say that Kael himself could pass the Chinese gaokao with a perfect score.
But at the same time, it was also the most reasonable answer at the moment.
However, the past could never be changed.
Right now, he needed to worry about the present and the future.
As the person who loved this game the most in the world, and the first person to reach the 100th floor, completing the entire story, Kael naturally knew what the future would bring.
And to be honest, it wasn't a pretty story at all.
When humans set foot on the 50th floor, it was also the time when the most brutal arc in the game began.
A Hellspawn - a Tower Creature that no one could resist at that time, would appear, taking the lives of countless people.
Most of the Rankers would be killed by it, causing all of humanity in the Tower to be pushed into the abyss of despair.
To put it mildly, it would be called a mass slaughter.
But, to put it more bluntly, it was no different from an apocalypse, the beginning of an era where everyone wanted to die.
And Kael, of course, didn't like that scenario at all, because there was no guarantee that he would survive.
He had no talent for fighting, because he was just a streamer - someone who always locked himself in his room.
His intelligence was a bit higher than that of a normal person, but it couldn't be compared to the top Rankers in the Tower.
All he had was the ability to know the plot, what would happen in the future.
But would it really be useful?
Of course not!
Since Kael had been reincarnated into this game, the future would definitely change, and his only privilege would also disappear.
'But!'
What if Kael was lucky enough to reincarnate into a 5-star character in the game, or even a 4-star, or receive a powerful Ability?
If so, his chances of survival would increase greatly!
Without wasting any more time, he activated his information panel.
"Don't disappoint me, world!"
Name: [Kael Draven]
Rank: [High Human]
Experience: [0/500]
Ability: None
Artifact: None
Title: None
"Huh? What the hell?" Kael blinked a few times, feeling like an idiot.
Was there a character named Kael Draven in the game Tower of Glory?
Of course not.
That was his name.
And what was this? There wasn't even an Ability? What the hell was this dogshit scenario?
Panicking, Kael ran into the bathroom - a place that wasn't too big - and stared at himself in the mirror.
"...Impossible… impossible…" He muttered, anyone could hear the impatience in every word that came out of his mouth.
All that entered his vision right now was an extremely handsome face, with raven-black hair, along with a pair of cyan eyes, like a burning galaxy.
Completely comparable to idols or male actors.
It didn't have a single scar, not even a pimple.
It was perfect, beyond words.
There was no doubt about it.
This was Kael Draven, not anyone in the game, but himself, from the previous world!
This wasn't reborn, nor was it reincarnation.
This was… transmigration!
"...Hahahaha…hahaha…hahaha…" Like a madman, Kael chuckled.
How much worse could this world get?
'But, I won't give up.'
The laughter quickly disappeared, replaced by a serious, unwavering gaze.
He had made up his mind.
Kael would survive in this damn Tower! He would do anything to survive!
And to do that, he had a perfect idea.
Today was July 7, 2025, according to the Tower calendar.
"…That means tomorrow, July 8, 2025, Tower of Glory's main character - Hans Varun will regress?"
...
"Great, just great. If so, that means I'll have 1 day to prepare for everything."

Floor 99.
Fire, blood, smoke, corpses, and Tower Creatures were everywhere.
Creating an unreal scene, a chaotic scene, that no one could imagine, even in a nightmare.
And in the middle of all that was a single person.
A lonely one, without a single companion.
Throughout heaven and earth, he alone was the honoured one.
Even though he was tortured to the point that his body no longer resembled that of a normal person, his eyes were no longer visible, his internal organs were completely destroyed, his breathing was also hot and heavy, he was still able to stand firm.
Like a monument of hope, unshakeable, no matter what happened.
But, those were the thoughts that the people watching the battle imposed on Hans Varun.
The fantasies they forced him to become.
No one, except him, could understand how terrible the pain that was tormenting his body was.
It was worse than having his entire body cut into pieces, then put back together, only to repeat everything 100 times over.
And more than anyone else, Hans realized that his end was drawing closer than ever.
He understood that he could no longer fight.
