Attention Patreons! For the upcoming rerelease of Tower of Hell, I'll be returning to smaller chapters multiple times per week. Book Two will continue but right now I may only post one or two chapters a week until I'm done editing the earlier chapters. Thanks for your understanding. Late April I hope to have everything posted and I'll be working on writing 2-3 chapters per week for my Patreons.
“Done,” Jonas nodded without considering the trouble it would be to acco...

*** If you haven't heard, I'm rereleasing Tower of Hell on Royal Road and Scribblehub. I want to try and give it a fresh start, and I've been editing and rewriting chapters while making the story fresh and containing new information. My Patreons will still get the latest release each week of Book Two, but I may take a short hiatus to edit the earlier chapters. Once the rerelease occurs, I'll change my weekly format from one long chapter to multiple short chapters. I hope I have enough...

Jonas had spent most of his life poor, underfed, and living in ghettos. That wasn’t including his stay at the Hurts gang, either. To live at places like the Glatorius mansion or a Grandview penthouse suite was a blessing he felt he could get used to having. A butler brought them seafood pasta, fruit platters, and sweets. Jonas and Old Louie could both get behind great food at the low cost of free.
“Eat up, chump,” Old Louie slurped sauce out of an oyster shell and then chugged the...

Late chapter. I was on my anniversary trip and didn't have much time for writing. Thanks for your patience!
Liberty City was the heart of the Outlands. Ironically named, it was built by slaves a few hundred years previous to the modern day, and colonial culture was the foundation of its society. What started as a pet project for angry patriots of the American revolution soon became the foothold for bringing modern culture to Hell. The city became so popular that nearby ...

Book Two is here! Thanks so much for all the support. Sineville of the Seas will see Jonas training with Old Louie, exploring Liberty City, and hopefully riding the famous cruise ship all the way to becoming a certified Sinner. However, our protagonist will need to prepare himself mentally and emotionally to face the biggest threat of his journey so far, Hellites.
I would love it if everyone reading this note could head to 2023-02-12 18:53:50 +0000 UTC

Chapter 133 of Book 2 will be late this week. I was going to post it Monday, but I needed more time to work out the details. It's one of the first chapters that really goes over Sin Sorcery and I needed to decide on how a few mechanics were going to work before letting you read. I didn't want to overcomplicate Sin and introduce too many mechanics, but I also want to take it further, so you can begin to see what Jonas will be learning to survive on the Sineville of the Seas. Anyway, your sched...

The Tower of Hell consisted of six floors with similar space-time, physics, and Laws of Sin, connected by elevators only accessible by True Sinners who'd met the requirements to use them. The Overworld was the most popular and talked about because it had the most extensive population and was where most people went when they died. Then there was the elusive fifth floor, Little Heaven. Hell's Commoners didn't know much about this floor; however, more information was available because some peopl...

Attention! Today's chapter marks the second last chapter of book one, and the story will conclude next week with chapter 132, the epilogue. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has stuck through the story so far, and I appreciate all the comments, love, and support you give me each week. I look forward to writing and publishing book two, and I hope you enjoy it just as much. I plan for it to be longer, with bigger chapters, and much higher-quality writing. Have a great day!

"Oh, Jonas. I'm glad you're finally awake. I've got a big surprise for everyone," he beckoned them. "Follow me," they turned to look at each other and got up to follow him. Phillip led them outside the house and onto the massive driveway, where they were shocked to find ten brand-new vehicles, all black and shimmering under Hell's red sky. "I finally got everyone's Cerberus Shadow ready, one for each of you."
"Me too?" Jonas asked.
"Of course, you too. Without you, I wouldn't have...

The atmosphere of the game room was light-hearted but also filled with the anxiousness associated with anticipation. Jonas' friends weren't just anticipating the arrival of Simon and Felicia but also the departure of their leader, who would be leaving quite soon.
Jonas and Ralph teamed up to play Pete and Bannji in a two-against-two game of billiards. Although Bannji wasn't overly familiar with the game, he had quickly learned because of Pete's tutelage. His one-eyed teacher had been a...

Loud pop music played throughout the restaurant as Samantha greeted Jonas' party of six. She was a bit sweaty, but her glossy skin and heavy breathing only added to her charm. She glanced at Jonas, smiled in surprise, and flicked her blonde locks behind her shoulders.
"Thanks for coming to Pizza Slut, gentlemen. Today's special is three large pizzas with three toppings and three pitchers of beer for sixty Sin Stones. Can I start you off with some drinks?"
"Do three of those specia...

Jonas looked up into Yuki's eyes, and they stared at each other while trying to burn that moment into their retinas; they could recall it at any time. Jonas felt sad that their feelings were different from before and that their relationship was over, but he was happy that they ended on good terms and remained friends. He and Yuki had begun their relationship on the promise of freedom, and they had fulfilled that promise.
"My crusade and your hunt," Jonas repeated. "That sounds kind of c...

"No cemetery?" Jonas visually expressed his confusion with furrowed brows. "I understand there's a reincarnation process, so Hell's traditions are probably different. However, there are probably billions of people in Hell. How do they all fit in crypts?" Since Jonas got to Hell, he had spent most of his time in a cage down in Little Wrath City, where his knowledge gained was about fighting and Sinning. His knowledge of the inner and outer workings of Hell was lacking, save the fact that he kn...

Later that night, Jonas found himself on the front terrace of the Glatorius mansion, which nearly wrapped the entire building. A beautiful and auspicious blood-red moon shone upon the brightly-lit property. For most people, light brought feelings of security; however, Jonas was so used to shadow that he felt exposed and uncomfortable because he stood out from the darkness. He couldn't see any property belonging to the neighbors because of giant crimson hedges surrounding the mansion. The arch...

The butler and maids came out from the kitchen doors carrying massive trays topped with colorful wine bottles and crystal beer mugs filled with blood-red liquid Jonas knew to be Blood Light, the most expensive brew in the Outlands. The workers surrounded the table and placed the drinks in front of the guests, who looked surprised.
"Is this?" Simon narrowed his eyebrow and stared at the scarlet mug in front of him.
"Blood Light," said the Butler. "It's the best brew in all the Outl...

Jonas and the rest of the crew continued to drink and chat in low whispers. Morale was down but steadily rising due to the flavor of the expensive alcohol, the unfamiliar breeze coming from the limo window, and the lovely voice belonging to Fiona Bridget from one of the televisions. She was a beautiful reporter narrating the ongoing events of Sun City.
"Yesterday afternoon, Overworld News Central shocked the citizens of Sun City with the story about the eldest son of CEO Robert Mack, fo...

Jonas felt the nostalgia was strong, and it was easy to reminisce about the first time he had hopped the gates of the sewage plant, knocked on the door, paid the fare, and nervously traversed the long tunnel pathway that led to Little Wrath City. He wasn't in the mood for dwelling in the past because Ahmed's cold body was heavy in his arms and weighed even more on his heart. Sometimes he felt like he couldn't bear to look down and see his dear friend because it would twist his heart into a pr...

The survivors had no time to celebrate Jonas' return. They would've rolled their eyes in exasperation if they had the heart because only their crazy leader could wake up from a near-death beatdown, insult the Maldread, throw a rock at its genitals, and start charging toward it with a calm demeanor. However, their hearts broke from the recent deaths of Ahmed and Jaden, which took all their emotions and left them with emptiness and despair.
Seeing Jonas face the Maldread did not inspire ...

There was a prolonged silence as Jonas stared at Pride. Physical and sexual assault? Jonas knew that he had suffered at the hands of his abusive foster parents, but never in his life did he remember being touched or molested by one of them.
"What do you mean, sexual assault? Who the fuck did that?" Jonas crossed his arms, and his voice had unintentionally raised in tone—it sounded stressed.
"There are blanks in your memories, correct? Mostly during your time staying at the vario...

The Maldread swung a massive claw right at Jonas' head, and he skillfully ducked underneath it and flanked around the creature like he had envisioned. The monster turned on the spot and charged toward him, only this time, the Maldread's attack came much more quickly than the first.
It grabbed him by the foot, and Jonas felt his entire body flip upside down. The beast flung him side-to-side, and his head jerked back and forth as the Maldread brought Jonas close to its open mouth. It was ...

Although he hadn’t learned much about Maldreads from Old Louie, Jonas would’ve wanted to learn about the deadly creatures' unnaturally quick instincts.
Unfortunately, Jonas watched firsthand as the creature instinctively turned its head, which saved most of its face from the flame. The ball of fire exploded against the back of its head, and the creature tumbled to the ground. Its flap-like jaws opened, and saliva sprayed the floor as it screamed like a toddler in tremendous anguish ...

Hello to all my Patrons! I just want to say thank you for all the love and support you've shown Tower of Hell. We're approaching the end of Book One, and it's been one hell of a ride! I planned on changing my chapter format when I started book two; however, my new job is very demanding of my time, and I don't have as much time to write and edit as I once did, which means that I'm going to be changing to my new chapter format as of next week. This means I won't be releasing a chapter on Sunday...

The creature that crawled out from the door was something from a nightmare. Its appearance was so shocking and vile that it sent shivers down the spines of Little Wrath City’s greatest Sinners. Goosebumps crept across their skin as a feeling of untamed dread filled their souls.
A gurgled cry that sounded similar to that of a dying baby came from its terrifying mouth. The Maldread opened its mandible-like jaws that could easily swallow a human head and revealed to the horror-struck fig...

Jonas thought he could dodge it, but that Sin Sorcery that Howard had conjured was much faster and contained more velocity than the young Crusader had anticipated. He threw his body to the side, but that didn’t stop the explosive-like ball of flames from striking his shoulder. It contained so much force that it knocked Jonas off his feet and sent him flying backward until he hit the stone ground with a sickening thud.
As fresh blood poured from a wound on his head and stars appeared i...

Ralph was holding his own against Michael Davis, and the big man had yet to be knocked unconscious like the dummy slaves and low-ranking fighters. However, just as there was a significant size difference between the two, there was also a difference in Sin; Michael was a much more experienced and adept Sinner. The conclusion of their fight had yet to come, and there was still time for Ralph to overcome his adversary.
A short distance away, Jaden Jackson could barely open his eyes as Rod...

Yuki spared no thought for her dead enemy as she stepped over his mangled body and searched the crowd for Jonas. It seemed the riot had become less chaotic, and the many fighters, gangsters, and slaves began dispersing into smaller duels.
She finally caught sight of a young man with golden blonde hair, and her expression turned into a frown when she noticed that he was bleeding profusely, and it was clear from his body language that his fight with Howard Hurts was not going well.

The force of collision that came from Jonas’ attack and Howard's block was so powerful and filled with so much Sin: it sent them both flying backward, and as Jonas skidded to a halt on the stone floor, he watched as dozens of fighters flew past and charged toward the elites.
“Throw the iron rods!” Jonas yelled. He foresaw the moment when his forces clashed with the enemy and knew it wouldn't go well for his men. “Aim to kill!” Jonas gripped the stolen iron baton from the waist...

Jonas headed the group, and it was a mark of how respected he was among the fighters and slaves because they followed him without panic and kept quiet. Luckily, the hallways of the Hurts gang were large enough to fit a group of their size, and they didn't have much difficulty traversing past the barracks and toward the main lobby.
As their footsteps echoed off the stone hallways, Jonas considered sending men to secure the other rooms of the Hurts gang, but he knew that it could be any m...
