[CONGRATULATIONS, INHABITANTS OF EARTH X32175! YOUR WORLD HAS BEEN SELECTED TO BE THE 36TH FLOOR OF THE DEIWOS TOWER!]

The godly society, The Deiwos Clan, has obtained a Tower, and like all other gods across the multiverse, they are looking for exceptional players who will provide them with Karma.

Oblivious to the machinations of the gods, Langa Zulu, a young South African athlete with his whole life ahead of him, chooses to become a player so he can climb the Tower and return to Earth. Inside the Tower, every floor is a world of its own, with various challenges posed to players as they struggle to earn Karma and gain the attention of the gods. First, however, he must earn enough Karma in the tutorial to enter the Tower.

When he is faced with corrupted monsters, a mysterious demigod, a mind-controlling dark elf, and someone needing his protection, Langa wishes he’d taken better care of his mental health. Even so, he is fascinated with these new worlds, filled with divine wars, growing friendships, betrayal, loss, revenge, and faith in something greater than himself.

This book is perfect for fans of Role Playing Games, Video Game Mechanics, LitRPG, Progression Fantasy along with African Fantasy, Mythology and Folktales.
