The Spine of the Fallen God (A Cosmic Horror Progression Fantasy)

113 years ago, the sky split, and a God fell from the heavens. Its massive corpse shattered the earth, drowned cities, and killed millions. They called it the Pillar, though no one remembers why. All that remains is its ribcage twisted into a tower that reached the heavens. The Spine. The cultists worship it and call it holy. A trial to cleanse the weak, and its purpose to find the One. But Kael knows better. He had seen their work: villages burned, families chained, and prisoners submitted to march to the Spine like sacrificial lamb.  They don’t scream. They don’t return. They just… disappear. So when the cultists burn Kael’s home and drag him to the Spine in chains, he doesn’t expect salvation. He expects to die. --- What to Expect: - Dark Fantasy / Cosmic Horror​ - Tower Climbing / Trial-Based Survival​ - Romance, no harem. - Slow-Burn Progression (Weak to Strong MC)​ - Deep & Morally Gray Characters​ - Eldritch & Lovecraftian Lore / Grimdark World​ - LitRPG Elements with a Developed Magic System --- Uploads: 3 chapters a week: M, W, F (I'm currently recovering from a major injury; updates will slow down to once a week until I get recovered fully.) --- Participant in the Royal Road 2025 Writathon Challenge
