BLURB Alex had everything. A father’s name, a company built with his blood, and a home that was supposed to be his forever. Until Victoria came. In 48 hours, his entire world collapsed. His father died. The will left him with nothing. His name was dragged through the news for a fraud he never committed. And the only house left in his name became a trap with cops waiting at the door.

The owner of this place. A man who rescues people “in need.” But nothing in this place is free. “You’re on the run, right?” Karina asks him on the third day, her red hair falling over her face as she sits on the edge of his bed. “Yes.” “Then Mr. Giffs thinks you’ll be fit for the circuit.” “Circuit?” . “The question is… are you willing to draw blood for blood?” Now Alex has a choice. Stay broken and let Victoria win. Or fight back in a world where the only way to survive is to become the very thing that tried to destroy him. A story of betrayal, survival, and revenge. When they take everything from you… how far will you go to take it back?

For a struggling student working night shifts to support his single mother, it was an astronomical sum. It was a polite death sentence to his romance. ​But fate had a different, far more brutal plan. ​Snatched from his world, he is thrust into the Tower of Awakening, a multidimensional death game. Amidst the blood and despair, he discovers a sliver of hope in the Tower Shop. It is a divine system capable of manifesting wealth and miracles back on Earth.

Every stat point is paid for in blood, sweat, and shattered bones. ​Surrounded by veteran killers who started miles ahead of him, he must weaponize his own suffering to bridge the gap. He will carve a path to the top, one step at a time. ​But as the trials grow twisted and his mysterious trait begins to mutate his body, a chilling question remains. ​By the time he earns the right to return to Earth... will he even be human anymore?
