A world of dark, light, life, and death.
Amidst chaos rose heroes. Amidst light, bandits flourished. And amidst darkness, hope was inspired.
Magic, swords, dungeons, levels, and more fantasy attributes came into the world.
People flew around in the sky, slashed mountains with swords, and proclaimed themselves as heroes.
But of course, the universe needs balance, and balance there came. In the form of monsters, the world became fair.
And the world was no longer Earth, it was now known as The Tower.

10:00am-New York City
There was a bang. People on the streets gasped and wowed at what they thought to be a projection. A portal of purple, blue, and green swirling endlessly. It was beautiful.
The day seemed so miraculous. The sky seemed to also be pleased as the cloudy, turbulent firmament revealed a ray of light.
It did not last for long.
The awe of the people became silent as a hand seemed to come out of the portal. A bloody, red, horrible arm.
The crowd was disgusted and disgruntled at the morbid sight, wondering why the owner of the projection would display such a scene.
Then, out of the portal, came a green snout. Slowly, what looked to be a sewer-dwelling wolf was revealed. As it came further out, eyes were revealed. Eyes of blue, which would be so entrancing if not for the rest.
They watched as this wolf with an arm in its mouth came out. The wolf was not a wolf. To describe it more aptly, it was a werewolf-like, 2 and a half meter tall, muscular terror.
Children screamed and ran along, not wanting to stay a second longer. Suddenly, they realized that as this man-wolf stepped onto the road, it cracked.
The crowd quickly dispersed in fear of this new, weird, unsettling creature. However, some stupid, smart people stayed. After all, it must be some sort of act, prop, or film-site.
Screams filled the street for the next hour. Screams of mercy, help, and despair. The first disaster from The Tower of Stars.

Five Years Later
The world had settled down since the first portal. Many of the smaller countries and cities had fallen, and order in many places was non-existent. The portals in or around cities were dealt with accordingly, but the ones in the wilderness could not be controlled.
Therefore, safe-zones were now created. The Earth, or Tower, was divided into the original landscape, a world on top of that, and another 98 levels on top of that. One might think that the ultimate goal was to get to the top, but it was actually something far greater. Survival.
That was why the safe-zone system was so amazing. The first level was normal Earth, so people protected the cities using soldiers, heroes, and hunters.
Cities were 1-st level safety, towns were 2nd-level, and then there was 3rd level safety which was anywhere that wasn't inhabited by humans. After this was yellow zones, places where portals were known to be near. Orange zones were where monsters were in high density. Red was where the portal produced monsters of high-level, and black was where there were many high-level monsters with a super-grade boss.
Low, Middle, High, and Super were the levels for the first 5 worlds or the Tower.
However, even Low tier monsters could easily tear metal and take bombs.
There were now many who wanted to fight monsters, however, as the pay was absolutely enormous. This was also the only way to reach the top of the social hierarchy.
After all, civilians were of less use than before. Whether it was farming, becoming soldiers, working factories and stores, and so on, certain jobs weren't needed or viable anymore.
However, it was from the civilians that an era's hero arose. And so it did. Someone, who had a destiny far greater than what could be imagined, started their journey. In a grand pala- in a Mc-Dole-nad came a fastfood worker.
