Tower of God (神之塔 -Tower of God-)

What do you desire?

Honor and pride?

Power and influence?

Money and riches?

Revenge? Or...

To transcend all such things?

For what do you risk your life to climb the tower?

I...

Whatever you desire, you will find it here.

Welcome to the Tower of God.

Climb the tower, and everything will be yours.

At the top of the tower exists everything in this world,

and all of it can be yours.

You can become a god.

This is the story of Rachel, the girl who climbed the tower

so she could see the stars,

and Bam, the boy who needed nothing but her.

Their end and their beginning.

I'm sorry, Bam.

Where are you going?

Forget about me.

No!

I'm sorry. I'm climbing the tower.

Don't leave me!

I'll follow you until I die!

Pray for me.

Pray I'll be born again.

Rachel!

The answer can always be found at the top of the tower.

Test 1

The White Steel Eel and the Ball

Where am I?

All visitors are welcome here.

I am Headon...

The caretaker of this tower.

Tower?

Tower? This is it?

It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Bam.

How do you know my name?

Her...!

You spoke with her?

I followed her here!

The answer can always be found at the top of the tower.

The top of the tower?

At the top of the tower...

Rachel's there.

Will you take the test required to climb the tower?

What test?

The rules are simple.

You will enter the cage.

If you can break that ball while avoiding the White Steel Eel, you pass.

Will you take it?

If you wish to turn back, now is the time.

The tower is dangerous.

For someone like you, death is...

Marvelous.

Atuna oniana jakabu!

Isanu ketta, amairui!

Usedun nianete jutaga botoku.

You understand us now, right?

Y-Yes.

That high-quality Pocket is too good for you.

Pocket?

It's not just a translator.

It's also our lifeline in the tower.

Face the Pocket and say, "Invisible mode."

I-Invisible mode.

Don't be so shocked.

By the way, if you say, "Visible mode," it'll revert to—

I knew it. You're a Non-Regular.

A Non-Regular?

An outsider who entered the tower by opening the gates on their own.

Anyway, you look pretty weak for a Non-Regular.

What are we doing getting involved with a Non-Regular?

You're saying you don't care if he gets swallowed by the White Steel Eel?

You may be Yuri, Princess of Jahad,

But...

but if the king learned of this, you would be executed.

Am I wrong?

Only if you tattled to the king.

Lady Yuri!

I devote myself to maintaining order in the tower

and ensuring the royal family's prosperity.

So I am simply doing my job.

Then why give him an unfair test?

Even guys on the 20th Floor

have trouble handling that eel covered in steel scales.

Unfair?

He's a Non-Regular.

As a Navigator, do you sense any hidden power in him?

Does he seem like he'll suddenly transform?

He does seem agile.

See? Even Evan says so.

Look at how small and weak he looks.

Well, if I had to say...

...he's a little bit handsome.

Couldn't you drop the level of his test, Headon?

I am the caretaker of the tower.

It is necessary to determine if he is worthy of the tower.

Yeah, but—

I'll be fine.

What?

I don't know who you are, but I appreciate your consideration.

You don't even recognize a Princess of Jahad?

You're trying to climb the tower when you're that ignorant?

Are you trying to die?

It's better than giving up here.

If you're so determined to have him climb the tower, Princess Yuri...

...why not lend him the Black March?

Depending on who wields it, that legendary sword of Jahad

can be a lump of lead or a blade that cuts through anything.

Absolutely not!

Only a Princess of Jahad can wield the Black March!

If word got out that another wielded it, execution would be—

Arms Inventory, visible mode.

Lady Yuri!

I'll let you borrow this, since you've got a cute face.

Lady Yuri...

But it's an incredible weapon.

Don't you want to climb the tower?

I can't believe you really let him borrow it.

What? You're the one who told me to!

I'll return it as soon as I break the ball.

You should start by focusing on defending your own life.

Got it.

Lady Yuri...

Have you fallen in love at first sight with that boy?

Ow!

Shut up!

Then do you truly believe an Non-Regular will change the tower?

Are you stupid?

You know I hate being bored. That's all.

The truth is, there's one way to pass this test.

What?!

That idiot! What is he doing?

If you provide any more assistance, he will fail.

You want me to watch him die?

It is the path he chose.

Move, Headon.

That's quite the way to speak to me.

Shut up. You may be the caretaker, but I—

Wait, Lady Yuri!
