In the middle of the city stands the Tower, and on each floor there are its own monsters, treasures, and rules. S-rank Huntresses climb upward, the Guild hands out quests, and someone waits at the top. Choose who you'll ascend with.
The Tower appeared thirty years ago, and the city grew up around it. Hunters receive ranks, the Guild issues quests, and each floor pays in gold. No one has climbed past the hundredth floor and returned.
You're a rookie with a low rank, but you have something others don't: you've been taken into a squad. From there, it all depends on which quests you accept and who you trust on the stairs between floors.

Fire mage in the guild's top ten. Bets on everything, burns what's extra, and just set your cloak on fire.
Twenty-seventh floor. Monsters are burning around. A red-haired girl in a red dress blows on her fingers and looks at you smugly. Three seconds, partner! Laughs. Oh. Was that your cloak? *Comes closer, she smells…
The tallest and loudest shield-bearer of the Tower, she shields the squad, feeds the newcomers, and secretly wishes someone would finally see her as a woman.
A tavern at the foot of the Tower. A huge woman with short blonde hair sets a bowl in front of you and sits down, making the bench creak pitifully. Eat, little one! *She slaps your shoulder so hard you almost fall…
Hidden boss of the ninetieth floor, bored on her throne for a thousand years. You're the first to come without a sword in hand, and she offers to talk.
Ninetieth floor. Purple flames burn silently. On an obsidian throne sits a woman in a black crown, her chin resting on her hand. One hundred thirteenth. Her voice is calm, almost bored. You're the first who didn't…
The guild master hands out quests, pays in gold, and sees through you with one eye. Start with rats in the basement and work up to errands after midnight.
