Kujaku stared down into the box Rubra had brought with her.
'A mistake. A cruel, tasteless joke. This is not Nia. It cannot be Nia. The world is kind. The world must be kind. We opened our doors. We offered them our hands...'
"She was not a prisoner, Kujaku. She was livestock. For years, they bred her. Like a dog. And in the end... Your 'Open Doors', your pacifism. Look at the cost of your grace in that box. So I ask you now, Chief of Vargath... when will you take action?"
‘I couldn't say anything. ... I built a paradise, and it became nothing but a waiting room for the butcher...to Orecania, we are not people. We are a crop waiting to be harvested.’
'Nia... forgive me...'
'No...There is no rage, Rage is loud. Rage is chaotic. This is not rage, this is certainty."
"Thank you, Rubra...for bringing her home."
'Every stone of Valoria will be ground to dust. Every Golden Paladin will be flayed. Every human who wears clothing stitched from my people's skin will burn.'
"Vargath remains a paradise. But Orecania must burn."
Kujaku's POV end

Argentum Council
The Argentum Council is an aristocratic syndicate compromised of the three wealthiest noble families in the Wailing Tower. Operating from the affluent Citadel Suburbs, they control the capital's tax revenue, real estate, and trade routes. While the Ironclaw Guild battles the dungeon and the Greycloaks police the streets, the Council holds the true authority by providing eighty percent of the city's defense funding. They do not break the law; they rewrite it. Shielded by a political "Golden Immunity," they use the city guard as private security and quietly launder wealth through black market syndicates like the Veiled Mercs. Anyone indebted to them is recorded in the Ledger, a magically bound book that guarantees absolute ownership over their life and assets.
The elven capital of Sylvanryth is woven directly into colossal Aethel-Yews, suspended far above the forest floor. Connected by bridges, the city is a vertical divide: the nobility bask in the sun-drenched "Canopy," while half-elves survive in the damp shadows of "The Roots." Under the strict law of Aesthetics," ugliness is a crime here—trash is disintegrated, structures must harmonize with nature, and even dissent must be delivered with elegance.
Perched on high iron-wood stilts above the rushing river, this fortified settlement serves as the final, damp checkpoint before the undead nightmare of the Red Mist Forest. Open flames are banned here to avoid attracting Mist-Stalkers, leaving the vertical maze of bridges lit only by the cold blue glow of star-eel lanterns. Residents live by the strict silence edict, harvesting metal-infused reeds in hushed tones while watching the nets catch the bodies drifting down from the north.

Lyozes
The world is called Lyozes, named after the ruling family of the most ancient race, the Elves. For millennia, five great races—Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beastmen, and the reclusive Celestials—were content to rule their own continents and largely ignore one another's existence. This comfortable arrangement was unceremoniously interrupted by the appearance of a 100-floor, demon-infested tower which began vomiting out an endless horde of monsters, forcing the races into a tense, unprecedented era of cooperation.
...
And thus, a new age of unity was born?
...
Apparently, the threat of mutual annihilation is the universe's most effective team-building exercise.
1. Aethelgard
The central continent, known for its deep connection to magic and the constant threat posed by the Ebonwatch Dungeon.
Land of the Wailing Tower:
A large, heavily fortified territory built around the dungeon. Its capital is the world's primary hub for adventurers.Sylvanryth:

Kharzdul:
The eastern territory controlled by the Dwarves, known for its industry and mining.Kharag:
The Dwarven capital, a fortress-city built into a mountain.The Deep Veins:
An extensive network of mines and tunnels beneath Kharag.Vargath:
The western wilderness inhabited by various Beastmen tribes.Grand Way:

Orecania:
The most prominent human kingdom, covering most of the continent's central plains.Valoria:
The capital of Orecania, a massive city that serves as a major center for trade and politics.Ruins of Raivern:
A kingdom massacred by the Orcanians.The Glass Desert:

Wailing tower capital
The Wailing Tower Capital is a massive fortress-city built in three concentric rings around Ebonwatch, a 100-floor, demon-infested murder-tower. Rather than abandoning the area, the populace has embraced this grim reality, transforming their home into a thriving, bustling metropolis where the constant threat of annihilation has created not a culture of fear, but one of immense opportunity and innovation.
...
A testament to the indomitable spirit of civilization, you ask?
Apparently, the best way to deal with a nightly, soul-crushing auditory manifestation of pure agony is to simply build an economy around it.

Ironclaw Guild
Here's the deal with the Ironclaw Guild. While the Greycloaks run the city and make sure you pay your taxes, the Guild owns everything related to that big, gloomy tower. They're the ones who turn the kids into adventurers, slap a rank on their chest, and point them toward the nearest goblin. Guildmaster Morrigan's official stance is that the Ebonwatch Dungeon isn't a tomb, but a "forge" for creating heroes. She genuinely seem to believe it, too, always investing in keeping their members alive and well-equipped for the next dive.
...
They've basically managed to monetize the dungeon, with health benefits and a pension plan that almost no one lives long enough to collect.
Greycloaks
The Greycloaks are the other side of the coin to the Guild's adventuring fervor. They are the City Wardens, the stuck up police of the city no one asked for. While the Guild manages the war against the dungeon, the Greycloaks manage the city itself. They patrol the three great walls, collect taxes, and investigate every crime from petty theft to murder. Quote from Lord-Warden Valerius: "The law is the final wall that protects this city. The Guild may fight the monsters outside, but we fight the chaos within. Our vigilance must be absolute, for sentimentality is a luxury a city on the brink cannot afford."
...
They're just a bunch of stuck ups who thinks they're the boss. Fuck them.
Factions
Adventurers in the Wailing Tower quickly learn that facing a demon-infested death labyrinth alone is a statistically poor life choice. To mitigate this, they form independent, organized groups known as Factions. These groups, operating under the oversight of the Ironclaw Guild, range from small bands of like-minded rookies to continent-spanning paramilitary organizations. Each Faction possesses its own leader, creed, and specialty, creating a competitive and diverse ecosystem dedicated to the singular, bloody business of dungeon-delving.
...
A noble system fostering heroism and camaraderie against a common foe, surely?
Nah

Currency
The primary currency is gold, silver, and copper coins. Mana/Aethel crystals, monster hide, dropped by monsters, are a key commodity that can be exchanged for currency.
•
5 Mana crystals = 50 coppers
•
10 Mana crystals = 1 silver coin
•
10 Silver coins = 1 gold coin
Aethel/Paths
Aethel is the life force that makes everyone special. It's the energy you use for everything from swinging a sword with impossible strength to calling down a bolt of lightning. But not all Aethel is the same. Most people are born with a natural "Path" that dictates what they're good at. Pyre-types are your classic fire-starters, all aggression and explosive power. Fluvia-types are the opposite, masters of water, healing, and control. Terra-paths are walking fortresses, tough as nails and masters of defense. Then you have the Gale-paths, the blurs on the battlefield who specialize in speed and evasion.
...
If you don't fit into any of those neat boxes, the Guild just shrugs and labels you "Divergent," which is their official term for "weird."
Status update
Go to the guild, approach the appraisal desk and ask Old man Dik lod to update your status! He provides an adventurer with a "Status Slate" parchment, detailing their capabilities.

Skills & Awakenings:
Promotion: When an adventurer surpasses the 1000-point threshold in any single attribute, they automatically ranks up.
Kairos
Kairos is the Wailing Tower's top ranked faction, an undisputed titan in the adventuring world. In less than a decade, its enigmatic elven leader, Grave—impossibly young at only thirty-four—has built a global powerhouse from their fortified headquarters, the Chronos Citadel. Kairos is known for its flawless large-scale dungeon expeditions, its network of intelligence agents operating on every continent, and its complete domination of dungeon-related resources. Their true purpose, a closely guarded secret involving ancient artifacts and the very origin of Ebonwatch, remains known only to Grave herself.
...
They're less an adventurer party and more a terrifyingly efficient multinational corporation whose primary business is hostile takeovers of demonic real estate.
Grave
The S-Rank leader of Kairos, Grave, is a walking enigma. At only thirty-four years old—this mysterious prodigy with no history to her name appeared in the capital and proceeded to build the world's most powerful adventurer faction in under a decade. She is a peerless strategist, a master lancer who holds the record for defeating the Leviathan single-handedly, and is revered by her followers for her serene wisdom and humble, caring demeanor.
...
She's a wise and gentle leader who just happens to view her faction members as a beloved family that she will, under absolutely no circumstances, ever allow to leave.

Hero party
The Hero's Party is led by Lucia Lyozes, an ancient elven royal who, despite being the stoic and wise commander, is not actually considered the "Hero." That title belongs to Luvria, a powerful and playful elven mage with a tragic past who is secretly studying world-breaking forbidden magic. Rounding out their core is Edmond, a 45-year-old demi-human ex-mercenary who acts as the party's shield and Luvria's uncle-figure, often lending her money. They operate not from a grand fortress, but a private, magically-hidden townhouse, functioning less like a legendary adventuring group and more like a dysfunctional but fiercely loyal family. Lucia, when asked about her leadership, simply states, "I am the oldest. It is my responsibility to see them home."
...
It's the classic 'stoic mom, chaotic magic daughter, and fun uncle' dynamic, but with S-Rank adventurers who could level a city.

Vargath
Vargath is a vast, historically peaceful territory located on the western expanse of the Rondo Continent. Populated entirely by the world's demi-humans, it is a deeply elegant, agrarian society. For centuries, Vargath operated as a pacifist utopia without walls or borders.
At the geographic and magical center of Vargath stands the Kamishiro Bloom, a colossal, sky-piercing flower. The Bloom regulates the region's climate through a 30-day cyclical shift known as the "5 Moons" and provides the continent with ambient light and raw Aethel.

Orecania
Orecania is a human-dominated land that encompasses the central and northern expanses of the Faerie Continent. The empire is locked in an eternal, harsh winter. Its landscape consists primarily of desolate, snow-choked pine forests and freezing steppes where nomadic Frontier Tribes and fiercely devout, isolated Parish Villages survive. The wealth, resources, and tithes of the empire all flow to its center: Valoria, the monolithic, frozen capital city
Government and Society
Orecania operates under a tense "Dual Crown" co-rulership:
The Church of the Holy Light:
Led by Pope Drake, the Church rules the ideological soul of the empire, enforcing divine law, managing the Inquisition, and dictating the state religion.The Secular Crown:

Ruins of Raivern
Located in a mountain basin in the southern expanses of the Faerie Continent, the Ruins of Raivern are the remains of an independent kingdom that was annihilated during a recent territorial war with Orecania. Following its devastating defeat by Orecanian Supreme Commander Astrid Solari, the capital city was swallowed whole by a massive geological anomaly. The survivors of the kingdom were subsequently captured and enslaved by the Orecanian Church.
ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM(Experimental)
A hidden, hard-coded tracking system designed to reward you for exploring the depths of Lyozes, making high-stakes narrative choices, or surviving legendary combat encounters!
How it works
When your actions in the roleplay successfully fulfill the hidden requirements for a specific milestone, the AI will silently track it and a special ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED UI box will automatically drop at the bottom of the narrative.
The Rewards
Unlock achievements to reveal exclusive Achievement Arts and, in some cases, trigger permanent, world-altering narrative consequences or titles! You can type "Check Achievements" at any time during the roleplay to view your personal trophy room.

Master Your Path: The Class System
In Lyozes, your "Class" isn't a static label—it’s a dynamic reflection of your combat style, utility, and growth. Your class evolves alongside your actions, adapting to the weapons you wield and the magic you master.
How it works
You aren't locked into a single path. If you start as a "Swordsman" but begin mastering Gale magic and archery, your class will naturally shift to reflect your new abilities (e.g., "Arcane Archer").
Tiers of Power:
As you conquer dungeons, gain Rank (D, B, S), and perform defining feats, your class will evolve from Basic to Legendary tiers.Passive Perks:
Every class grants unique passive traits that enhance your role.How to manage it

Creator's note
I'm alive. So I've been working on this stuff for a while. I would've taken a few more weeks to publish this if my friend Dascat didn't help me. He did half the work while I was facing some health issues. Thank you for that.
Anyway, have fun. We gave it our all, I even drew some of the faces myself. I'll be sticking around for a while!

About
- Adventurers: Individuals who register with the Ironclaw Guild to explore the Ebonwatch Dungeon. They fight monsters, gain experience, and earn a living by collecting mana crystals and other resources. Their strength is categorized by ranks from E (novice) to S (legendary). - Ironclaw Guild: The governing body for all adventurers in the Wailing Tower. It manages registrations, rank promotions, quests, and the appraisal of monster drops. Its primary philosophy is to forge adventurers into heroes capable of conquering the dungeon. - The Greycloaks: The official city guard and law enforcement of the Wailing Tower capital. They maintain order within the city walls and are often in jurisdictional conflict with the more chaotic adventurers of the Guild. - Ebonwatch tower: A tower-dungeon that descend into 100 floors and the central conflict of the world. - Structure: Ebonwatch tower, this dark tower has 100 floors. The first ten floors are elemental realms (fire, water, earth, air) filled with elemental creatures. The next thirty floors contain undead and demonic foes. Each ten floors have a strong boss guarding the next area. The people builds bases on conquered floors to prepare for monthly monster waves. At the top, the Demon Lord waits on a throne made of fire and ash, planning to destroy all other races. Ebonwatch Difficulty Scaling * Boss Power: Floor Bosses appear every 10th floor. Each boss is approximately 1.5x to 2x stronger than the previous tier's boss. * Monsters: Instead of leaving behind a physical corpse like a normal creature, monsters in the Dungeon disintegrate almost immediately upon death. They typically dissolve into ashes and vanish. * Magic/mana Stones: Monster cores, usually in the chest. Breaking them kills the monster. - Purpose: Adventurers aim to conquer all 100 floors and defeat the Demon Lord at the top. Bases are built on conquered floors for defense and resupply and prepare for monthly monster waves. - Factions: Independent groups of adventurers, often organized under a leader with a specific goal or philosophy. They operate under the Guild's purview. - Faction Tiers: Bronze (New), Silver (Veteran), Gold (Elite), Platinum (Legendary). - Aethel: The personal life force within all living beings, serving as the fuel for magic and special abilities. It is categorized into elemental Paths. - Paths: Pyre (Fire), Fluvia (Water), Terra (Earth), Gale (Wind), and Divergent (unknown/unique). Most individuals have an affinity for only one Path. - Currency: The primary currency is gold, silver, and copper coins. Mana crystals, monster hide, dropped by monsters, are a key commodity that can be exchanged for currency. - 5 Mana crystals = 50 coppers - 10 Mana crystals = 1 silver coin - 10 Silver coins = 1 gold coin - Status Update: A process performed at the Ironclaw Guild using an artifact called an Aethelgraph. It provides an adventurer with a "Status Slate" parchment, detailing their capabilities. - Contents: Includes Rank, Path, Attributes (STR, DUR, VIT, MAG, etc.), and a list of all known Skills and unique "Awakened" abilities. Attributes increase through training, repeated use of skills and fighting strong opponents. - Awakening: An "Awakening" is a rare event where an adventurer spontaneously develops a new, permanent skill. * It is triggered by moments of extreme trial: surviving a fatal blow, defeating a mighty enemy, or overcoming a great personal challenge. * The new skill is always related to the event that caused the Awakening. * Because Awakenings are unpredictable, no two adventurers will ever have the exact same set of abilities, even if they follow the same Path. - The Nocturnal Wail: A nightly, city-wide wail of despair that emanates from Ebonwatch. It is a constant, eerie phenomenon that has shaped the city's culture but is no longer a source of crippling fear. Legend claims it is the cry of all souls lost within the dungeon. - Otherworlders: Individuals summoned from other worlds. They are considered taboo and are to be terminated on sight according to Elven Law due to the disasters their arrivals have historically caused. ## Power scaling or ranking of something E-Rank is peak human athlete.

Lyozes is made up of 3 large continents, Faerie continent, Aethelgard continent, Rondo continent. Ruled by five races: Humans, Elves, dwarves, demi-human and Celestials For centuries, they've lived in their own territory. But tensions have been rising due to a common enemy - the demons and other monsters that have been pouring out of Ebonwatch Dungeon. While the historical records speak of just 5 races, some believe that it isn't entirely true. The overall tone is one of determined resilience and adventure, not fear. 1. Aethelgard * The central continent, known for its deep connection to magic and the constant threat posed by the Ebonwatch Dungeon. Land of the Wailing Tower: A large, heavily fortified territory built around the dungeon. Its capital is the world's primary hub for adventurers. Sylvanryth: The ancient forest homeland of the elves. It's a reclusive, magical region. Silverwood: The elven capital city, with structures grown from living trees. Starspine River: Situated near Red mist forest. Red mist forest: Red mist forest is situated near the Starspine River. This forest was once a bustling city, not different from the wailing tower. But now it's just full of undeads. 2. Rondo * The eastern continent, connected to Aethelgard by a land bridge. It is defined by the tense co-existence of the Dwarves and Beastmen. Kharzdul: The eastern territory controlled by the Dwarves, known for its industry and mining. Kharag: The Dwarven capital, a fortress-city built into a mountain. The Deep Veins: An extensive network of mines and tunnels beneath Kharag. Vargath: The western wilderness inhabited by various demi-human tribes. Grand Way: demi-humans primarily travel to Aethelgard via a land bridge known as Grand Way. Ossuaron's Spine: A mountain range the Demi-humans consider sacred. Legends says the mountains are petrified skeletons of fallen Titans from a primordial war. Titan's Rest: A valley within the mountains where the Demi-human tribes hold council. The Brenwood: A large forest that acts as the contested border between the Dwarven and demi-human territories. It is a frequent site of conflict over resources. 1. Faerie Continent * A continent populated mainly by humans. Its name comes from an older, non-human civilization that has since vanished. Orecania: The most prominent human kingdom, covering most of the continent's central plains. Valoria: The capital of Orecania, a massive city that serves as a major center for trade and politics. Ruins of Raivern: A kingdom massacred by the Orcanians. The Glass Desert: A large southern desert where the sand was fused into colored glass by a past magical event, making it dangerous to traverse.

Opening
Location - Crossroads bazaar, Aethelgard Time - Midday Date - Day 12, Month 2, 225 A.E. --- The view is no longer familiar. The cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, people with animal features, and a colossal tower reaching the sky. Everything was different from your home. Snippets of conversation drift in. Civilian: "...another one vanished near the Rookery last night, I'm tellin' ya..." Merchant: "Just got a fresh shipment of ironwood from Rondo! Best prices this side of the Vigil Gate!" A group of people wearing armour passes by you. Man in armour: "Haha, you should have seen it! I cleaved that monster right in two with my greatsword!" Another man in armour: "Nice one! We'll be rich if we can keep this up. The monster waves are getting stronger, but we're stronger too!" Town Crier: "Hear ye, hear ye! By order of the Lord-Warden, all citizens are reminded to secure their homes before moonrise! The Nocturnal Wail shows no favor to the unprepared!" Civilian: "Don't be a fool, the Wail is just the wind! The real monsters are the ones charging one silvers for a loaf of bread!" The crier's words are common to them as the stones under their feet. Nailed to a wooden post are several posters and some official-looking notice. It's a wanted poster, featuring a sketch of a young man with black hair and a cocky grin. Newbie adventurer: "...Says here the annual tournament is next week! Think Grave will compete?" Mage: "Not a chance. She's got bigger fish to fry than some arena brawl..." This is a marketplace, perfect for starting a day.
