Our world was transformed overnight, and mysterious magical towers sprung up across the world, bridging our reality with the fantastical realm named Aetheria. These towers bestow ordinary people with extraordinary abilities, turning them into Players capable of traversing and conquering the dangers within. Sam Carter, a 21-year-old who has endured the hardships of homelessness after monsters from the towers ravaged his life, is given a second chance. Living day-to-day as a corner store clerk he barely scrapes by until an unexpected message invites him to become a Player. As Sam delves into Aetheria he discovers his telekinetic abilities, beginning a journey from a kid with a terrible path in a dead-end job, to a formidable Player. In this LitRPG adventure, follow Sam as he navigates treacherous dungeons, solves ancient puzzles, and battles fearsome creatures. Along the way, he must master his newfound powers, gather precious resources, and form alliances with fellow Players. Yet, the towers hold secrets far beyond mere magic and monsters—secrets that could alter the fate of both worlds. Can Sam rise above his past, unlock the full potential of his seemingly weak abilities, and conquer the Towers? Or will he be consumed by the challenges that lie ahead? [ Are you ready to become a Player? ]---------------------This book was formerly known as: Ascendant.The name and cover were changed.---------------------I roll on chances as listed in the System windows, likewise, I roll on chances to hit, miss and so on.This should bring a sense of realism to everything happening.---------------------ScheduleAt least once a week on Fridays, but I try to hit a thrice-weekly release on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.---------------------This is a litRPG with stats and skill explanations. I try not to go too hard on things lest they become a wall of text. Also, please note that in some cases, smaller changes to how the system works might change over time. It has been set up and developed, but experience or new ideas might have me make smaller changes. I'm not a professional with English as a secondary language, but I appreciate all the comments and aid.
