Source plot synopsis — includes the ending
The tower is inhabited by the formidable Gorgons, gigantic creatures of flesh and stone that feed on the inhabitants of the Earth. A sinister cult has formed in a part of the village, worshipping the Gorgons and offering them sacrifices in exchange for protection. However, recently, a catastrophe befalls the village when the river that runs through it is poisoned, leading to the gradual death of its people.
Facing this threat, Arias, Algus, and Kyuli decide to take matters into their own hands. They embark on a quest to uncover the origin of the poison that threatens their village. Their path leads them to the tower, where they confront the Gorgons. In a fierce struggle, they battle these monstrous creatures and uncover the dark secrets of the Tower of Serpents.
At the heart of the tower, they confront the Dark Knight, once sacrificed by the villagers when he was just a baby. Raised by the Gorgons as their champion, he has now become their formidable weapon, ready to exact revenge on the village that abandoned him.
But Algus carries a heavy burden within him. He has made a pact with Epimetheus, the Titan of Death, a being with extraordinary powers. In exchange for the ability to temporarily resurrect the dead, Algus knows that he will have to offer his soul to Epimetheus when the time comes.
