Olympus Guild

They draw inspiration from Greek mythology, specifically Mount Olympus, which was revered as the grandest place with magnificent castles and the abode of the Greek gods known as the Olympians or the Twelve.

Description:

The Olympus guild, one of the largest guilds in the tower, serves as the residence for numerous worlds coexisting within the tower itself, a literal structure surpassing the Earth's size multiple times. Alongside Asgard, it ranks among the largest guilds and stands as the arch-nemesis of Kim Yuwon. In the previous timeline, Kim Yuwon holds contempt for Olympus due to their decisions and corruption, which weakened the tower and indirectly led to its downfall, as well as the ensuing destruction caused by the outer gods.

History:

Unlike the mythical Mount Olympus, little is known about the guild's origins, including its foundation or the original members' backgrounds and the worlds they hailed from during the tutorial process. However, those who successfully ascended the tower and displayed strength became part of one of the most influential organizations within the tower's realms, with each world transforming into godlike domains.

In contrast to Greek mythology, where Zeus freed his siblings and, after a decade-long war against the Titans, established Mount Olympus, Leveling with the gods depicts Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades originating from an unknown world selected by the tower during the tutorial. Triumphing over the challenges and reaching the tower's 100th floor, they ascended to the rank of Rankers. Due to their extraordinary power, they self-proclaimed themselves as gods to the tower's inhabitants, who were compelled to reside there through the tutorial process. Over time, the tower became their home, distinguishing them from the new inhabitants who were forcibly brought into the tower, as only the strongest and most capable were chosen by the tower's selection process.

The tower's philosophy significantly influences the Olympus guild's character, as they strive to recruit only the most powerful and competent individuals within their ranks.

While Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are referred to as brothers, the female members such as Hera, Demeter, and Hestia do not share the same familial title. They either became Rankers after the foundation of Olympus or have a different relationship compared to the original mythology, excluding Hera's jealousy and Zeus' infidelity. Despite this, the absence of Hera implies a similarity yet distinction from the original mythology.

Initially, Olympus appeared to function more as a democracy than a monarchy, with decisions being made based on the majority's consensus. However, Zeus's pursuit of the tower's worlds led him to discover information about the Divine Crystal of the Sky—a powerful object originating from another dimension linked to the tower. With this knowledge, Zeus commissioned Hephaestus to forge his iconic weapon, the lightning bolt, which granted him immeasurable power. Consequently, Zeus assumed the title of King of Olympus, disrupting the power balance among the three brothers. The construction of the guild also required the involvement of giants, who possessed the power of Olympus. Zeus, assisted by Poseidon, devised a scheme to defeat the giants, which proved successful.

This event triggered the Gigantomachy, which some perceived as a relentless war between two factions. However, Hephaestus viewed it more as a civil war, as Olympus's alliance with the giants caused division and led to their separation from their father. The guild operated for thousands of years in the previous timeline, as well as the new timeline before Kim Yuwon entered the tower.
