Welcome to Floor Three, where the rules are made up, and everyone is cheating.
Jack finally has something resembling a crew capable of climbing the Tower, which is great timing, because finishing Floor Two first requires a few minor chores. Conquer a city no one has ever conquered, put down an immortal lich who's being suspiciously helpful, and hold onto power while every climber, faction, and opportunist in the Tower chooses this moment to start a war in Broken Moon City.
If he can manage all that, he gets to join a tournament on floor three as a reward! Definitely not designed to torture him for the entertainment of millions, run by a clinically insane gamemaster who's spent an alarming amount of time plotting creative ways to ruin his life specifically, and filled with an absurd number of competitors cheating at every possible opportunity.
In The Cheater's Tournament, where everyone is looking for any edge, his advantage is playing the hand he's dealt.
