I Became a Transcendent-Level Newbie in the Tower Climbing Gallery
I never imagined my life would flip upside down just because I trolled a bit in an internet gallery.
It all started with a few shitposts and some light gaslighting. Nothing too crazy, right? Just the usual chaos you stir up when you're bored at 3 a.m. with nothing better to do than mess with strangers online.
But then the comments started pouring in. And they weren't the usual flame wars or block-button spam I expected.
At first I thought it was just the usual gallery crowd being dramatic. People spamming "lmao" and "holy crap" in the comments like it was their full-time job. But the vibe kept shifting. The roasting turned into... something else.
Then the private messages started.
I blocked him. Then another one popped up. And another. The gallery was blowing up with threads about me. My username was trending harder than any raid boss clear video. People were making fan cams. Fan cams. Of my shitposts.
That's when things got really weird.
You have been selected as a candidate for the Tower of Trials.
Would you like to enter? [YES/NO]
I stared at the floating blue window hovering in the middle of my room like it was some kind of prank app. My first thought was that I'd finally lost it from too much late-night scrolling. But when I tried to swipe it away, my finger passed right through it.
Okay. Not a prank.
I tapped YES because, let's be real, what else was I gonna do? Say no to the mysterious floating magic box? That sounded like main character energy I couldn't pass up.
The world spun. My vision went white. When it cleared, I wasn't in my messy apartment anymore. I was standing on a vast marble platform floating in an endless sky. Towering pillars stretched into the clouds around me. The air smelled like ozone and adventure.
A new window popped up, this one glowing with golden edges.
Before I could even process that, another window slammed into existence right in front of my face. This one was blood-red and pulsing like it was angry at me personally.

I barely had time to read it before the ground started shaking. A horde of what looked like angry slime creatures started oozing toward me from every direction. They were cute in a horrifying way—like evil jelly blobs with teeth.
"Oh come on," I muttered. "At least give me a weapon or something—"
That's when it happened.
Transcendent Newbie's Luck — All stats temporarily boosted by 500%. Hidden title Gallery Menace activated.
The slimes froze mid-wobble. Then they started... bowing? What the hell?
I looked down at my hands. They were smaller. Much smaller. And way too delicate. My reflection in a nearby marble pillar showed a girl with long silver hair and glowing golden eyes staring back at me with the same shocked expression I was feeling.
"...No way."
The system wasn't done with me yet.
My jaw dropped. Infinite charm? What kind of broken newbie stats were these?
The slimes had formed a perfect heart shape around me now, jiggling happily like they were in love. One of them even offered me a shiny coin it had been hiding inside its gooey body.
This wasn't a tutorial.
This was the start of something completely unhinged.
I looked up at the endless tower stretching into the sky above me. Somewhere up there were floors full of monsters, treasures, rival climbers, and probably a lot more angry gallery users who'd somehow gotten dragged into this world too.
A wild grin spread across my new face.
"Alright then," I said, cracking my knuckles. "Let's go cause some absolute chaos."
The slimes cheered. Or at least I think that's what the synchronized jiggling meant.
From that moment on, the Tower of Trials would never be the same.
And neither would the Tower Climbing Gallery.
