Description
Fifty years ago, a massive tower swarming with countless monsters suddenly appeared on Earth. Humanity was trapped inside, their path to the outside world completely severed.

Yushi, a boy born on the 1st floor, works harder than anyone else but remains the absolute "weakest" existence, unable to awaken his abilities. However, everything changes one day when he fuses with a forbidden monster known as the [Shadow] that had fled from the upper floors. This grants him an unprecedented and bizarre power that no human should possess.

Is he an enemy of humanity, or its next evolution? Caught between a conflicting mission and relentless pursuers, Yushi draws ever closer to the dark truth behind the tower...
