Aasal Hayes just wanted to sleep in on his only day off. Instead, he wakes up to a glowing blue window telling him he’s been selected to enter the mysterious Tower — a world-spanning system filled with monsters, mana, and players racing to climb their way to power. Humans across the world awaken dormant Talents. His? [Talent: Clone] — Another You! While Aasal, groggy and annoyed, blindly clicks a glitched option and gets sucked into Error Difficulty, his newly spawned clone calmly selects Normal Mode… and gets to enjoy a tutorial, a class, and a properly functioning interface. Now Aasal is trapped in a corrupted, broken version of the Tower — filled with unreadable system messages, reality-warping monsters, and impossible leveled puzzles. The system barely recognizes him. The UI is unstable. And he’s not sure he’ll ever be allowed to leave. Meanwhile, his clone is thriving in Normal Mode — rising through the ranks, gaining fame, building power, and becoming everything Aasal could have been. The Tower forgot him. But Aasal is still learning. And if he can’t leave… He’ll master it from the inside.
