The tower relentlessly swallowed people.
This didn't mean that people were abducted en masse. Even nobles from the Empire had taken interest in the tower after realizing an entire mercenary group had vanished beyond the kingdom's borders.
On top of that, mages began flocking to the tower, their eyes gleaming at its anomalies - or as they'd put it, "long-distance spatial teleportation magic that triggers no mana reaction across continents." As a result, even mercenaries with no connection to the tower started pouring in, lured by the promise of gold.
If they found a clue, mountains of gold coins would rain down - enough to live a life of leisure forever. And if they managed to stop this wicked tower that threatened the higher-ups by uncovering its secrets, the reward promised wasn't just a lifetime of leisure, but generations of it.
A vast and bountiful estate, heaps of gold coins that needed carts to move, gems you could stuff in sacks like grain, the Goddess's blessing from the temple, and fame rivaling that of heroes. The promise of a reward that went beyond a reversal of fortune to a complete upheaval of one's life drew all the top-tier talents to the tower.
