Editor's Note

💡 Yeon-woo’s twin brother disappeared five years ago, only for his pocket watch to return with a hidden diary. It revealed he was betrayed and murdered while climbing the Obelisk—a tower where worlds and dimensions meet. Now, Yeon-woo enters the tower, masking his identity behind a crow mask and using his brother’s records to take everything for himself. This is a cold, calculated revenge story where the MC doesn't just want to reach the top; he wants to dismantle the people who hurt his family.

Experience Curve

1–50 (The Inheritance): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Hook. The discovery of the diary and Yeon-woo’s cold entry into the Tutorial is perfect. He isn't just strong; he is prepared, using his brother's failures as his roadmap.

Ch. 51–300 (The Hidden Pieces): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Peak. Yeon-woo is a "Completionist." He finds every secret and hidden piece, often frustrating the tower's administrators and gods. His growth feels logical and earned through tactical ruthlessness.

Ch. 301–912 (The Divine Throne): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Conclusion. The story scales into the territory of gods and myths. While the power creep is massive, the central motivation—revenge for his brother—remains the emotional anchor until the end.

WebNovelDB Review

9 /10

A high-tier "Tower Climber" with a darker, more serious tone than Solo Leveling.

Success Factors (The Good): The "Diary" mechanic. It allows the MC to have a unique advantage without it feeling like a random "cheat" system. Yeon-woo’s personality is refreshing; he is a soldier—pragmatic, efficient, and rarely wavering from his goals.

Friction Points (The Bad): It can feel repetitive if you aren't a fan of the "Hidden Piece" trope (where the MC finds something secret in every single chapter). The side characters are often overshadowed by Yeon-woo’s overwhelming presence.

Reader Archetype: For those who like cold, mask-wearing protagonists and deep lore involving gods from various mythologies (Greek, Norse, etc.).

Red Flags (Not For You If): You want a talkative, friendly MC. Yeon-woo is a man of few words and even fewer smiles.

Power System: The "Obelisk" is an infinite tower where players from different dimensions compete. Power comes from artifacts, skills, and the fusion of divine legacies. Progression is tied to climbing floors, but the system's logic often bends for the sake of the plot.
