Trials of the Jötunn
F13/100Web serial by Thraksius
It's been over 300 years since every human and supernatural race on Earth found themselves transported to Floor Zero of the Tower. The population has fallen from 8.2 billion to just under 20 million. Anyone under sixteen must attend the Academy of Beginnings, a place designed to prepare them for the climb and uncover why the System brought them here. The highest known completed floor is Floor 34. Deacon Surtr Hayes stands on the cusp of graduating from the Academy, ready to claim his Tier 1 Class and ascend the Tower. Then he wakes up hours before receiving his Class and discovers that his father is alive — and that he isn't even human. A single revelation unravels everything he thought he knew, leaving him with one burning question: what is a Jötunn?
