Constellations,
The Tower is pleased to announce the return of the Genesis Original Novels Competition.
Across countless worlds, stories wait to be written. Some remain distant possibilities. Others become Players capable of ascending the Tower.
This year, the gates stand open once more.
With Forge, anyone can begin their ascent instantly. Whether you are an established author or taking your first step into storytelling, Forge provides the tools needed to transform an idea into a living world.
No lengthy setup. No barriers to entry.
Only a story, a blank page, and the determination to climb.
But this time, the Tower will not stand alone in judgment.
The Constellations' Will shall decide which Players rise above the rest.
Through your readership, support, and votes, you will help determine which stories earn their place among the next generation of challengers within the Akashic Records.
