They left him for dead. Now he’s back—and he’s bringing the Tower down. Ren Varrow was never the hero type. A quiet alchemist with a talent for potions, he kept his head low while others chased glory. But when a top guild lured him into a lethal dungeon and stabbed him in the back, his story should’ve ended. Instead, it rewound. Thrown back to Day One—before the Tower rose, before the betrayals—Ren knows what’s coming: secret quests, hidden mechanics, and a ticking clock that ends with Earth’s destruction. Armed with future knowledge and forgotten skills, he’s ready to rewrite everything. From building a guild out of nobodies… To crafting mythic-grade potions… To surviving a hundred deadly floors and the guilds hunting him… Ren is done playing nice. The Tower’s coming—and this time, he climbs first. Expect: • Time-travel knowledge • Cowardly but overpowered MC • Alchemy, dungeoncraft, and guild wars • Swearing and strategy • Dystopian Earth meets leveling system Don’t expect: • Harem Reader Reactions: “All the good vibes from my days playing World of Warcraft.
