About this listen
The Advent of the game-like System changed everything.
The world shifted as Gates and Gate Breaks turned society upside down. The other side of that chaos was ruled by the elites who controlled the Hunters' Associations.
Orphaned in the Advent and the turmoil that followed, James aka Skillful C, has grown into the best Hunter he can be. A man denied Skills, the transcendental gifts of the System, and his rightful place in his father's guild, James has tried his hardest, coming up short again and again to his Skilled brethren. Those Hunters stand astride the changed world.
Yet the world hasn't finished changing.
Just when it seems humanity has a firm grip on the Gates, a broad swath of the world's Hunters are abducted. Within this Tower, the mighty are humbled, and the humble will Rise!
But will James, an unskilled Hunter, survive the Tower? Join the Climb in this debut System, Hunter, & Tower novel.

A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions. Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants.

Me? I was an innocent bystander in a shootout between mobsters and spawned monsters. Thankfully, the System granted me the power to bring forth monsters from the void. With this ability to command magical beasts, I might just live out the apocalypse. Together with a ragtag group of survivors, we're wading through the mayhem while searching for somewhere safe. Somewhere that monsters aren't desperately trying to kill us, where the opportunistic among humanity aren't looking for easy XP.

Story
Lucas was shocked when he awoke to find the world had ended. An alien AI called the System had taken over Earth and transformed his apartment building into a 100-floor dungeon tower of traps, monsters, and loot. Trapped at the top, Lucas and the other residents have just one year to reach the ground floor and escape before the tower self-destructs. That’s his first problem. The second is he slept through the System’s welcome orientation, so a Class was picked for him. Lucas is now a Blood Reaver. A brutal Class based on speed, ferocity, and striking from the shadows.

Now, the world has shrunk to one small valley, the Valley of Auld, humanity’s last bastion. All those within its walls are protected. Elian is markless—someone who cannot activate skills—and he is one of the poorest markless there is. A miner, forced to leave the city and toil in the nearby salt mines. On their way to and from the mines, the miners are kept secure in a locked wagon. The wagon is not locked to keep them from escaping. It’s locked to keep the demons from getting in.

Interesting Hunter/Tower Climb Fic
Nice plot, love the crafting and system. Would prefer if the protagonist wasn't collecting love interests every time he meets a girl.

Awesome !
This was really good even if i found the notifications about skills a little overwhelming on the early chapters the story is well worth it though, the MC was a genius even before showing to the tower and pretty much had the foundations to develop alot of the skills he receives and then uses his smarts to play the system to his advantage. honestly i can't wait for the next one but im somewhat worried because it almost a year since the ebook came out, hopefully we don't have to wait too long for book 2

Eh?
So OP power fantasies with hint of fedora wearing nice guy vibes. Example? The MC goes to a stronghold and finds children dead impaled on spikes. Yes he gets revenge and kills so repsonbile right.
Except ten minute later he resurrect one of the women responsible and sleeps with her. Then knowing her less than a hour treats her like his soulmate and start making life choices based on her.
Then he starts getting pissed at anyone in chat functions who questions him. Is the suave ladies man that every woman who meets him falls in live with. Including a force sex victim who was pregnant, shes all over the MC the moment he rescued her. So on and so forth throughout the book.
Ignoring all the highly cringe female character interactions,and the tons of stats. The story is good and the OP fun especially by the end.
I can ignore the cringe level in this book might drop it if it gets worse but I'm curious how the next book will go. Though the no time resurrection magic is a little too OP since it seems to take all consequence or risk to others away.

Amazing story with so much Progression!
I absolutely love this book and cannot wait for the next book!
The story started off slow due to too many numbers. However, about half way through the book, the author really found a good balance.
This is not just another tower climber book. I absolutely love the methods of handling each level, the time between levels, the aftermath of disputing concerns with completion awards. It was just a fun story.
I can't wait as the main character goes on to challenge the tower in subsequent books and how he will challenge the universe!

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK
These 4/5 reviews are bots or something. Everyone please don't by this book it feels like it's written by a child who heard 2nd hand about what adults do and who watches too much anime. Quick summary of how bad this book is. It starts off with the MC calling a woman a bimbo just because she's doing her job. He gets told not to get drunk because there's a raid and he needs to be at tiptop shape because people can die. Omg guess what he gets drunk anyway and shows up to the raid... After everyone dies guess what. He goes drinking again. WOW. MC finds a group of people who tortures and kills kids After killing the group the MC resurrects one of the women just so he can have sex with her like 3 paragraphs later. This all happens literally in the first 10 chapters of the book. If you think im lying please get the Kindle version of this book its FREE and look up the words Bimbo, Drunk, Whiskey, Jack denials, children, Elena and read the first or 2 sentences connected to those words and see if im lying. Please save yourself the time and money and dont pick up this hot dumpster fire of a book. Ill be trying to get my money back as i type this warning for you all.
