Synopsis
Orphan Jaeju uses future videos of himself to conquer a deadly tower and save his orphanage.
With his orphanage on the brink of closure, Jaeju Kim needs to get rich fast. His best shot is to conquer the mysterious tower that appeared in the world seven years ago, except that few who enter the tower ever manage to return. Jaeju is just about at his wits' end when all of a sudden, he receives a bunch of videos featuring himself clearing the tower in the future! With his own comprehensive walkthrough in the palm of his hand, will this overpowered newbie be able to conquer the tower? (Source: Tapas Media)
