Arthur Hart had one skill: playing 'Records of the Infinite Tower'. While flunking out of college, he'd spent 3,247 hours climbing an "infinite" game that everyone said was impossible to beat. Ranked 47 globally, stuck on Floor 287, obsessed with proving that every game has an ending—even this one.
Then the sky tore open, and the game became real.
Earth is now Floor 1 of the actual Infinite Tower. Every human has a Status Interface, a Perk, and one chance at survival. Death means losing everything. Climbing means facing hell on every floor.
But while everyone else scrambles to understand the tutorial, Arthur has already played for 3,000 hours.
He knows the monsters. He knows the systems. He knows secrets that won't be discovered for months.
His "wasted" life just became humanity's only advantage.

[You may choose to climb, or you may choose to remain. Death on any floor results in respawn at Floor 1 with loss of nearly all progress. Choose wisely.]
