There is a great mystery surrounding the Towers. Nobody can provide a unique answer as to why they appeared. There'd always been mystical things in the world, but never a wish-fulfilling hub of challenges, which lures in greedy men and women to their potential demises.
Worthy, a 12-year-old child from Malas Town, a run-down, forsaken slum far beyond the walls of the "Kingdom" decides to test his luck by climbing Aciago Tower—presumed to be the most challenging Tower in the world. No one has made it more than halfway through, and countless people find themselves trapped within.
The temptation to climb is irresistible to those who have nothing to lose. Those who reach the top floor will have their wish granted, and those who fail will perish.
For the sake of his family, Worthy is willing to push aside everything and ride whoever's coattail he needs to reach the peak of Aciago Tower. Yet, he may have a more damning time than he might've anticipated. The Tower is full of more mysteries and horrors than the outside world can possibly imagine, and he finds himself at the center of it all.
Equipped with abilities bestowed by the Tower, his dreams to reach the top seem so close, but at the same time, so impossibly far away.
