The Last Stat: Radiation Tower

Elias Vane had thirty days left to live. Then the Black Pillar turned his death sentence into a starting stat.

The doctors could not cure him. His family could barely afford the next bill. At two in the morning, a silver window opened above his hospital bed and invited him into a tower that rewards survivors and recycles failures. Elias accepted, because waiting to die was already the worst dungeon.

He woke with a ruined body, Vigor zero, and a class assignment even the system tried to delay. But the Pillar found something the doctors never had. His tumor was responding to the Black Core, and Elias had been marked with a forbidden class the wardens wanted buried: Ruin Vessel.

Poison dust, rotten blood, radiation, cursed residue. Every contamination that should kill him burns through his body first, then becomes power. Every upgrade can save his life, and every upgrade makes him harder to stand beside.

To climb the Black Pillar, Elias must learn to use his illness as a weapon. The problem is simple: when your only talent is ruin, how much of you can reach the top alive?
