"Tower
of God: New World" is a collectible card RPG based on the popular webtoon
"Tower of God," which has won millions of readers around the world. The series, written by SIU,
follows the story of Twenty-Fifth Bam, a young man who has spent his entire
life inside the mysterious Tower, where he has been searching for his friend
Rachel. When she decides to ascend the Tower, Bam follows her, unaware of the
dangers that await him. The Tower itself is a gigantic and enigmatic place,
composed of multiple levels, and each of these levels is ruled by powerful
beings called "Guardians."
Each level
is filled with challenges, enemies, traps, and trials, and only the strongest
make it to the top. Along his journey, Bam meets other characters who
also have their own reasons for climbing the Tower, such as Khun Aguero Agnis,
a cunning strategist, and Rak Wraithraiser, a massive and fearsome warrior. Together
they face different challenges while exploring the Tower's intricate hierarchy,
where the desires for power, revenge, and sacrifice are intertwined.
The webtoon
has been a global hit, with over 6 billion views and has inspired three anime
adaptations. The plot combines elements of action, mystery, and a deep
exploration of the characters' psychology, attracting a loyal fanbase. If
you're a fan of Tower of God or Hololive Production, this event promises to be
a blast. Don't miss it!
