The Legend of William Oh

William Oh was born on the hundredth floor of the Tower, cradled in lethal miasma and inheriting the legacy of the greatest Climbers the world has ever known. The Tower’s corruption runs through his veins, twisting him into something neither fully human nor divine—a being whispered about in taverns and feared in the depths. Some claim he’s immortal, a spectral force weaving through the dreams of desperate Climbers, appearing only when the Tower’s cruelty becomes unbearable. Others call him a drunken liar, a trickster who vanishes before the tab is paid. But when the Tower’s hunger grows and the floors tremble with unseen threats, even the skeptics glance skyward. William Oh walks the razor’s edge between salvation and ruin, and the Tower always collects its debts.
