Tenzing was done with climbing, done with living in his family's shadow, and then the world ended. Spaceships descended with strange metal columns. They've foretold the planet's doom in a year and climbing these metal 'towers' is the only way out. Yet the towers are filled with monsters, traps and trials to overcome. All televised for the rest of the universe to watch, for humanity's 'safety'. They've given humanity the blessing of a video game like character system, where they can level up. Stat blocks, power and generally things from the realm of superheroes. They're going to need them, because the first level is no tutorial, its a vicious ocean realm. With his best mate, Mason, a quokka they rescued off a truck, and a camera that seems intent on making them out to be heroes, they must do one thing. Climb.
