Tower Zero: Floor Zero

Lin Wei survived becoming a dungeon core. He survived the Network Wars. But nothing prepared him for Floor Zero. Stripped to Level 1 and imprisoned in a basement level that shouldn't exist, Lin Wei awakens with no memory of how he got there—and no idea why the System is counting down to his deletion. As he claws his way back through the floors, fragmented memories surface: he wasn't always a climber. He was one of the Tower's original Architects. And he chose to wipe himself to become an unpredictable variable. With only 29 days before the Hunter Armada arrives to harvest failed Guardians, Lin Wei must reclaim his Architect identity, convince three ancient Wardens to trust him, and forge a third path between containment and release. But the Tower isn't just a test of strength—it's a quarantine. And the truth about what humanity is being quarantined from will change everything he thought he knew about the System, the climbers, and his own purpose. Tower Zero: Floor Zero is a LitRPG progression fantasy about identity under pressure, collective burden, and the cost of mercy.
