The senselessness of so much of the world's death and suffering becomes apparent to the dying paladin Isaiah in his final moments. He perishes — and is reborn into a quiet existence as a simple blackbird. But a spell gone awry transforms him instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal. Isaiah, desperate to return to his simple life, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen — tall enough to reach the reclusive gods in the heavens above, so he can demand they undo the transformation. But the humans below believe he is trying to destroy the world. [Dungeon-Core] [LitRPG] [Base-building]

The dying paladin Isaiah perishes and is reborn into a quiet existence as a simple blackbird — until a spell gone awry transforms him into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal. Isaiah, desperate to reclaim his simple life, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen in order to reach the reclusive gods above and demand they undo the transformation. But as the ivory tower rises, its dark shadow stretches further over the land — and both the pious people of the world and the gods above begin to take notice.

The Tower of Isaiah grows in might, and adventurers flock from across the nation to reap the rewards Isaiah has sown. But this new glory comes with dangers. The Holy Church, threatened by Isaiah's presence, begins to make moves — alongside the cruel Witch Perchta, who holds a deep resentment toward Isaiah she cannot forgive. As the tower grows taller and begins to obscure the sun from the nearby city, Isaiah's long-term plan edges toward realization, and the true nature of the tower is revealed to the world.

The Tower of Isaiah spires toward the heavens, piercing the clouds like a threatening spear. But the situation grows precarious: human society is pushed to the brink, the Grand Crusade marches toward Isaiah's holy lands, and the Witch Perchta conspires to bring the paradise down. The meld between the physical and spirit worlds begins. The transformation of the land, the tower, and all souls around it can no longer be stopped. The age of Isaiah has arrived — but is the world ready for the sight of its true divinity?
