The Tower [Infinite]

Short version:

A bird was born among thorns.

The sharp thorns pierced its flesh and bone.

Blood drenched the ground.

A rose slowly bloomed.

Can you imagine it?

Above the dome of the ninety-nine heavens

stands a towering spire.

Long version:

Legend says there is an object above the dome.

It was left behind by the god who created the Tower.

As long as you obtain it,

you can make any wish come true.

[Welcome to the Tower. We wish you every success!]

In the dark forest, the guardian priest made a prophecy for Lou Shiyi.

The dark sovereign spread his wings. Amid the sea of flames, his time would continue.

Shang Qiu, his throat cut by a single slash, had flowers blooming all over his body. He opened his eyes and stared at the world in confusion.

Some were weeping, and some were grieving.

Some rejoiced, while others secretly celebrated.

In the dark forest, a priest made a prophecy.

A red-clad figure fleeing a remote village.

An ancient city covered in snow and ice, and her giant.

A temple in a bamboo grove, hiding a time scroll in disarray.

Stars falling from the night sky, unable to protect anyone.

A flower called hope blooming in the mechanical ruins.

That ancient river would eventually bring us together.

Countless worlds make up the Tower.

Countless lives struggle their way up its heights.

Some fall along the way, never to be seen again.

Some give up along the way, never moving forward again.

Some fight their way upward, but don't know why.

The caretaker floated in midair and said coldly, "The climb begins now."

Something big has happened in Dusk City.

Someone blew up the prison in District Three!

A dangerous convict has been kidnapped!

Onlookers: Whoa!

I hear the person who successfully climbed the Tower is back!

Crowd: Whoa!

I hear the person who successfully climbed the Tower was the one who kidnapped the convict!

All living things: Wait! Say that again! Who kidnapped whom?!

I hear the Tower climber and the convict are a couple!

Tower: Say that again?!

Onlookers: Shocking!

Whoa ⊙ω⊙!

I really did my best with this blurb. I really did TT

It's probably a story about a boy and a group of boys and girls. Probably...

Note: Updates are irregular.

The author has no idea what they're writing either, so don't get your hopes up.

Terminal laziness.

The protagonist doesn't show up much at first.

CP: Lou Shiyi

Slow burn, plot-focused, romance on the side (because I don't know how to write romance).

The story spans quite a long time. (How shameless of me.) I think it gradually gets better.

There are lots of setup chapters at the beginning, but the main story has officially started.

It's expected to be long (probably).

I won't abandon it (I solemnly swear).

I write this to make myself happy, whenever my restless hands just can't help themselves.

↑ So updates are irregular _(:з"∠)_

Theme: Only the colorful flowers reflected in that brilliant sea of stars will never fade.
