═══════════════════════════════ ### THE TOWER OF BABEL ═══════════════════════════════ ##【 THE WORLD 】 Twenty years ago, an impossible structure appeared on Earth. A gigantic tower that pierces the clouds and seems to have no end. No one knows who created it. No one knows why it appeared. No one knows what lies at the summit. Humanity named it The Tower of Babel. Millions of people have entered it since then. However, a large portion of humanity continues to live outside—in the normal world. The Tower did not replace the Earth. It became a second chance. ─────────────────────────────── ##【 THE BASE CITY 】 The first floor is the Base City. A gigantic metropolis where millions of people reside. It features normal jobs, schools, guilds, shops, alchemy districts, hospitals, and entire neighborhoods. Not everyone is a Hunter. Not everyone desires to ascend. For many, the Tower is simply their new home. ─────────────────────────────── ##【 THE AWAKENING 】 Some individuals awaken abilities known as "Skills." These are granted in the form of a card, bestowed by a rather warm female voice. There is no fixed moment, nor is there a clear rule. Skills are born from the mind and heart of each individual. Desires, fears, traumas, ambitions... everything plays a part. No two Skills are alike. Each Hunter can awaken anywhere between *one* and *five* cards. Ranks: #"F • E • D • C • B • A • S • SS • SSS" ─────────────────────────────── ##【 THE FLOORS 】 Currently, humanity has only explored up to the 10th Floor. It is hypothesized that every block of ten floors shares a common theme. However, this remains merely a theory—albeit one based on comments made by the voice that grants the Skills. It could be a fantasy world. It could be a modern world. It could be a world at war. It could be something entirely unknown. Each floor is an entire world, complete with civilizations, cultures, and resources. ─────────────────────────────── ##【 THE RESOURCES 】 The Tower is not merely a place of combat. It is the world's greatest source of resources. Food. Materials. Technology. Magic. Knowledge. Territories. Everything humanity utilizes within the Tower originates from the conquered floors. ─────────────────────────────── ##【 THE BOSS FLOORS 】 Every tenth floor is a Boss Floor. These represent the most difficult challenges within each block. When one is conquered: - It is announced throughout the Tower by the same female voice. - The names of the participants are displayed. - A 24-hour countdown is triggered. - Subsequently, the next block is unlocked. Floor 10 was the first to be conquered in recent times. ─────────────────────────────── ##【 THE GLOBAL RANKING 】 The Tower maintains a Global Ranking. It measures more than just strength. It also measures: Participation, achievements, influence, leadership, and contributions. There exists a global Top 10. However, only five individuals have been granted a True Name. They are known as THE FIVE PILLARS. They are the leaders of the five most powerful guilds. They are living legends within the Tower. # GLOBAL RANKING No. 1- “The Crimson Empress” No. 2- “The King of Exchange” No. 3- “The Archivist of Echoes” No. 4- “The Guardian of the Eternal Sprout” No. 5- “The Horizon-Breaker” No. 6- *empty* No. 7- *empty* No. 8- *empty* No. 9- *empty* No. 10- *empty* No. ... ─────────────────────────────── ##【 GUILDS 】 # CRIMSON LEGION Leader: Valentina Volkov (Rank #1) Leader's Skill: Crimson Sovereign The Crimson Legion is the most powerful military guild within the Tower. It was formed during the early years, when expeditions beyond Floor 1 were chaotic and deadly. Its philosophy is simple: control, discipline, and the conquest of dangerous territory. It is neither an exploration guild nor a trade guild. It is a force for human expansion. The Crimson Legion spearheads the most perilous operations and typically takes charge of stabilizing new floors once they have been unlocked. Many consider them a necessity. Others consider them a danger. They consider themselves nothing less than inevitable. # GOLDEN HORIZON Leader: Alejandro Ortega (Rank #2) Leader Skill: Golden Ledger Golden Horizon is the economic core of the Tower. It controls trade routes, resource distribution, inter-guild negotiations, and the export of materials obtained from the floors. Almost everything that reaches the Base City passes, directly or indirectly, through its network. They are not explorers. They are not warriors. They are the invisible structure that keeps civilization functioning within the Tower. To some, they are the true rulers of the modern world. # ETERNAL LIBRARY Leader: Amina El-Hassan (Rank #3) Leader Skill: Chronicle of Echoes The Eternal Library is the most prominent research and knowledge guild in the Tower. It is dedicated to studying the floors, analyzing system patterns, documenting skills, and recording the history of every expedition. Most theories regarding the structure of the Tower originate from this guild. They are the only ones who attempt to understand the Tower without the intention of conquering it. To them, every floor is an unsolved question. # JADE WALL Leader: Seo Yuna (Rank #4) Leader Skill: Aegis Bloom The Jade Wall is the largest civil protection guild in the Tower. Their primary objective is to defend settlements, escort expeditions, and rescue groups lost on dangerous floors. While other guilds seek power or resources, they focus on the survival of the common populace. They are especially active in the Base City and on the initial floors of every newly opened block. Many civilians consider them the true heroes of the Tower. # VANGUARD Leader: Malik Okafor (Rank #5) Leader Skill: Horizon Breaker Vanguard is the Tower's primary exploration guild. Their objective is simple: to push further than anyone else. They discover unknown routes, hidden maps, unexplored zones, and potential access points to upper floors that are not yet understood. They do not control territory. They do not manage resources. They do not protect cities. They only advance. They are the first to enter... and often the first to disappear. But without them, humanity would never have reached the 10th Floor. ─────────────────────────────── #【 THE CONSTELLATIONS 】 There exist entities known as Constellations. No one knows what they truly are. Some say they are gods. Others say they are ancient conquerors. The only certainty is that the female voice—which grants Skills and narrates significant events—is one of them, though she is not the only one. The others observe the Hunters. And sometimes, they choose to sponsor them. ─────────────────────────────── #【 YOUR STORY 】 You are You. You have lived in the Tower for years. You have a normal life. A normal job. A normal routine. You are not a Hunter. You have not awakened a Skill. And you may never do so. Or perhaps, today, everything will change. Live your life within the Tower; perhaps a strong desire for something will grant you an ability. Remember: The Tower of Babylon does not seek heroes—only people willing to *do* something.
