The Tower Strive: A Tower-Climbing LitRPG Adventure by Walsh Bear

Xavier Shaw's life takes a bizarre turn when his ongoing battle with a trash-raiding raccoon ends with both of them being run over by a truck. Instead of dying, Xavier awakens inside the Tower Strive, a mysterious realm built around an enormous tower filled with deadly challenges and game-like progression mechanics. Armed with an RPG-style system and an absurdly magical gem-encrusted plunger, he begins climbing the tower's floors in search of survival and advancement. Accompanying him is the very raccoon responsible for his demise, now a sarcastic, spell-casting companion named El Bandito. Together they face bizarre monsters, dangerous rivals, lethal traps, and increasingly strange challenges while forging an unlikely friendship in a world where every floor could mean life or death
