Summary:
A month ago, the world changed forever.
Thousands of people — between the ages of 18 to 25 — vanished, only to return days later, bearing powers, levels, and mysterious abilities from another world. They became known as the First Generation of Rankers — revered like celebrities, feared like monsters.
Among them was Raven Cross, a quiet, calculating thief with a shattered past and a family barely holding on. He never asked for power, but fate gave him something far more dangerous — an ability that lets him see glimpses of the future.
As he returns to college, Raven finds himself at the heart of a world that’s rapidly shifting. Strength now decides status. Abilities redefine reality. And society is splitting — between the empowered and the powerless.
But that’s just the beginning.
Beyond the veil of the normal world lies the Tower, an endless structure with countless floors, where true power is forged and unimaginable secrets are buried. Raven, Seraphine, Grim, Aurelia — and others like them — will be forced to climb its depths, uncover their origins, and face enemies beyond anything they’ve ever imagined.
This is not just a story about powers.
It’s about family, betrayal, destiny — and the cost of becoming strong in a world that no longer plays by the old rules.
