Synopsis
"I don't want to die like this..." Rigel's trembling voice because of the mix of emotions that ran through his mind, lying in the middle of a desolate street, his gaze fixed on the ominous creatures soaring through the sky. "My whole life has been a nightmare. It has been relentless, and now, dying like a rat..." he continued, his body trembling from broken limbs as he fought to endure the excruciating pain.
As Earth faced an unprecedented cataclysm, overrun by nightmarish creatures, mythical demons, and unending chaos, salvation arrived in the form of the enigmatic [Player System] Selected individuals, known as [Players] were granted the power to confront these monstrous threats. Their journey towards strength began within mysterious towers scattered across the globe, where they endured trials orchestrated by an inscrutable system.
However, for Rigel, destiny took a cruel turn as he aspired to become the hero of his own life. The system deemed him unworthy, stripping him of his [Player] status and casting him back to Earth, now a world overrun by monsters. Survival became an unrelenting struggle, and death lurked at every corner. Yet, he clung to life, enduring 5 long years that felt like an eternity. In the end, he couldn't escape death and he was standing in front of the death's door.
"If there's anyone... anyone that can hear my pain, please grant me a wish..." Rigel's voice weakened as his eyes started to shut off. "I want the world to feel my pain..." He said as he started to lose consciousness.
Suddenly, darkness enveloped him, transporting him to a forbidden and forgotten pocket of reality.
"I will grant your wish. I will take you back to where it all began," a soothing woman's voice whispered into Rigel's ear. "But what can you offer in exchange for this wish?" Her words sent shivers down Rigel's spine.
"Everything. I will give you everything," Rigel responded, his determination unwavering, even in the face of the unknown abyss.
"Rigel Eclair DeMargt. I want your soul and your body..." The woman's voice carried a sinister tone, and Rigel could almost sense the grin on her face. "I will make you invincible, immune to death's touch. In return, the more you faced death, the less of you would remain, yet you would grow stronger," her words were chilling, yet strangely comforting.
"I don't care..." Rigel declared with unwavering determination.
"Then follow my voice, and you will have your wish granted," The woman's voice was going away from Rigel's ear.
Rigel opened his eyes and realized that people were murmuring around him, their gaze fixed on a coffin placed inside a freshly dug grave.
"I've returned..." Rigel furrowed his eyebrows as he observed the scene before him—the final resting place of his mother that happened five years ago. "And today is the day everything begins," he looked at the sky as he clenched his fists.

FIrst of all, I love the story so far and I have reached the latest chapter (54). If you wonder what kind of story this is, I won't say it's generic although it's a regression and tower novel. I'll break it down for you guys so you can read it if you find this review helpful. 1. The MC isn't regressed from the point of the "end-game" because, in the first place, he never entered the tower in his previous life. He survived as a normal person, and not a Player as the title says. So he knows nothing about the tower and the situation inside which is not a cheat-like story where the MC knows everything. 2. Is MC a villain? A hero? The answer is, it's neither. And I think he's more like an anti-villain type of character. 3. MC is smart and focused on his goal which is revenge, and he would be seen as a villain by Players and could be called a hero by others. 4. No, there is no System for MC which is the first time for me. He learned everything from finding out about his abilities or learning from others. 5. The side characters are interesting and aren't bland at all because they have important roles. I found all the characters fascinating and the fact the author shows their sides of the story makes it fun to read. 6. Is it slow-paced? Overall, it's not slow-paced, but you can see the progress of MC's growth. 7. Is the revenge plot generic? It's for you to decide, but so far the revenge plot is just a small piece of the big picture. It's complicated because the truth about the tower blows my mind and I don't mind where the story is going right now. 8. The world-building is really great, and I think it's too early to say about this because MC is still focused on his growth. But the side characters' stories showed how the worlds inside the tower work, and I'm sure everything would change the moment MC climbs the tower. That's all I can think of right now because I can't spoil the story. I really recommend this story and I'm 90% sure that you'll enjoy it as well.
started great, but later on become boring cause of some of the plot armour for the antagonist come annoying
Just caught up gotta say books really good, good mc good writing and good plot also just wanna know if there will be romance in the future ?
