This chapter introduces the main characters at the beginning of the story.
Stats reflect early-stage conditions after regression.
Power levels will grow slowly.
The Tower does not forgive impatience.
Noah Arclight
Age: 17
Rank: E
Mana Stage: Beginner
Aura Stage: Initiate
Unique Ability: Absorption Core
Noah is a regressor.
In his first life, he climbed the Tower to Floor 100.
He fought the Final Boss.
He died.
Everyone with him died.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his seventeen-year-old body — the day the Tower appeared.
He remembers:
• All 100 floors
• Boss patterns
• Rare monster spawn points
• Betrayals
• Deaths
• Hidden mechanics
• Training methods
• Advanced mana control
• High-level aura reinforcement
But his body is weak.
His mana core is small.
His aura veins are fragile.
He cannot use high-level techniques yet.
If he forces too much power:
• Mana backlash will damage his core
• Muscles may tear
• Veins may rupture
• He may collapse
His greatest weapon is knowledge.
His greatest weakness is his body.
Absorption Core
A mutated mana core formed from a fragment of the Floor 100 Final Boss.
It allows Noah to absorb power only from monsters.
Not humans.
Not climbers.
Only monsters created by the Tower.
Early Stage Effects:
• Absorb 1–3% of monster's mana
• Absorb minor physical strength
• Absorb small vitality boost
• Gain tiny elemental resistance
• Minor stat increase
Conditions:
• Must land the final blow
• Monster must be fully defeated
• Body must withstand the absorbed energy
If he absorbs too much:
• Core instability
• Internal mana pressure
• Temporary paralysis
• Severe pain
Absorption gives growth acceleration.
Not instant dominance.
He must still train to stabilize absorbed power.
Lila Arclight
Age: 14
Status: Not yet awakened
Noah's younger sister.
In the first timeline, she died before Floor 30.
She is emotionally strong but inexperienced.
Noah's main goal is to keep her alive.
Her fate may change this time.
Elena Frost
Age: 18
Rank: E
Mana: Fire
Aura: Sword Reinforcement
A natural frontline fighter.
Calm. Brave. Direct.
In the previous timeline, she reached Floor 100 and died fighting beside Noah.
Currently stronger than Noah physically.
Unaware of his regression.
Kai Shadow
Age: 19
Rank: E
Mana: Shadow
Aura: Speed Enhancement
Quiet. Observant. Strategic.
Specializes in stealth and precision attacks.
Died on Floor 100 in the first timeline.
Trust is a major theme in his character arc.
Mira Vale
Age: 17
Rank: E
Mana: Healing & Barrier
Support-type mage.
High mana precision.
Emotionally kind but mentally strong.
In the first timeline, she sacrificed her life force on Floor 100.
Vital for early survival arcs.
More characters will appear as the climb progresses.
Some will live.
Some will die.
The Tower does not guarantee survival.
