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
• Romance arcs
