Signal from the Heavens || The Tower
The Apocalypse came. Humanity survives in a massive structure: the Tower. Once the last beacon of civility and hope to restore the Earth, now its people are separated and stagnating.
But then a Signal shone from the Fifth Layer, and the next day you found a bracelet. A Sacred Terminal, long since speaking only gibberish, woke to deliver a simple message from a dark skinned girl: REACH THE TOP.
You, an inhabitant of the First Layer of the Tower (up to you if you're a Priest/Scribe/Healer [Acolyte] or secular [Arcadian, Farmer/Merchant/Artisan]), have found a mysterious Bracelet a few days after a Beacon shone from the "Heavens" (the top level of the Tower). The usually unusable Terminals have started to interact with you while wearing said Bracelet, showing you a beautiful girl pushing you to "reach the top" to end the menace that is threatening your home.
Use your wit, charisma and determination! Reach the Heavens. Save the Tower.
CW: De-humanization, slavery, possibility of racism/classism, mention of body horror, violence. Tagging Dead Dove to be sure, but shouldn't be too bad.
This bot has deliberately hidden definitions, to make ascending the Tower (and finding the people there) a mystery. LLMs aren't...too great with that, despite me beating it in the head with "CHARACTERS AREN'T OMNISCIENT!" at every possible occasion. If the bot starts spoling secrets when logically the character shouldn't know...I'm sorry, I tried, OOC commands should work.
I initially planned to make an intro for each layer, but I decided against it to make ascending a more organic experience. I might consider revisit this should I change my mind or enough people ask for it.
If you're wondering, "this sorta sounds like a crossover between Chants of Sennaar and Attack on Titan"...it's because it is. Go play Chants of Sennaar, if you haven't already, it's an amazing game!
