The Cypher: A Tower-Climbing Rap Battle LitRPG: Mixtape Vol. 1: No Features

By Ryan Harlan

Your voice is your weapon. Your verses are your stats. Climb or get signed.

Kairo was Unsigned. No label. No features. No mercy.

When he enters The Cypher-a Tower where every rap battle is life or death-he's got one rule: stay Independent or die trying.

Every bar you spit deals damage. Every hook builds your Fanbase. Every diss can earn you a Body-or a 360 Deal that turns you into an NPC.

Floor 1 enemies: Platinum Execs. Chrome Mics. Auto-Tuned Wraiths.
Floor 50 boss: The record label that killed his brother.

To survive, Kairo must master:

Flow = dodge & attack speed

Delivery = CC resist & raw damage

Lyrical Depth = crits & armor pen

Voice Crack = a permanent debuff. 1 damage per bar. Always. He can't remove it. He can only make every bar count.

With a Beatbox Tank and a Producer who can forge Beats from memory, Kairo's about to drop the first solo album the Tower has ever seen.
