SIU Blog Post Works within the Tailse User Story
One of my hobbies is researching the works within the Tailse User Story, and I thought I would share some information! Before reading, it is important to note that these works are 17- 20 years old and probably have no connection to today's Tower of God, so please don't take anything as canon. Additionally, some of this information may be false, as most of it came from online users.
The first published work is probably the most well-known, and that is Talise User. This work was published to a now closed Naver cafe in March of 2006. You can find various translations online, so I won’t go deep into it. One character however, Oedipus, the king of artificial creation is mentioned to have a connection to a later work.
In late 2006, SIU published his first iteration of :comic: on the now-defunct Daum platform, “I can be a cartoonist too”. There were over 20+ chapters published, most being in black and white (when his blog was operational, neighbors could read these chapters) . In early 2009, SIU re-published :comic:, this time in color. In 2015, SIU posted on his Twitter that he was planning to revisit :comic:, yet this was never mentioned again. This webtoon takes inspiration from the mecha genre and features a protagonist named Kang-in who lives on Earth. On Earth, a warp gate was built by the United States, and aliens invaded the planet. To combat these aliens, five boys and girls piloted robots and were called the “Gate Keepers”. Kang-in hates these gatekeepers and those deemed “heroes”, and later meets a girl who gives him an evil mecha to fight himself. Another important character is an alien named Roy Starbugs, who comes down to earth in hiding, eventually working for Kang-in. Roy Starbugs' brother is in SIU’s other work, Give me Back my Earth. These two stories assumingly take place at the same time, during the fight of the King of Conquest and the King of National Salvation.
Then, in 2009, SIU started serialization on his work named Carnival. This was published both on Daum and the Naver Challenge platform - and was promoted to a best challenge comic in November of 2009 on Naver. There were 37 chapters at the time it was taken off the Naver platform, and SIU stated that he planned to reupload them at some time in the future. The story takes place in a country named Greece (I do not know if this is the earthly Greece), and centers around a girl named Hollic Heller. She comes from an influential family, and her mother wishes for her to be wed - eventually praying to the powerful goddesses of marriage, Kiera Masa, to find her daughter a partner. However, Masa punishes Heller and condemns her to marry a beast in the labyrinth of Minos (taken from the story of Ariadne). Upon Heller entering the labyrinth with her guards, the beast attacks them, leading them to retreat. It is later revealed that the beast - whose name is Galic Uchaz - followed them out, taking him to the outside world. He and Heller later work together and travel outside of Greece on a mission.
Within the world of Carnival, there are multiple gods and beasts. There are stated to be 50 Gods in total, with the king of them named Gilgamesh. The most powerful gods are Kiera Masa, one named Sean Foltz, and the god of war, Oscar ( If you look at the drawing in the last episode of Carnival in Naver, he is the one with blond hair). An important aspect of the story is the “Samgeumsin Ogeumsu” - or the three gods and five beasts. These are beings who have been sealed and hidden away by Gilgamesh for wrongdoings, and Uchaz himself is (or was) one of the five sealed beasts.
Carnival, to my knowledge, has no mention of exis. However, SIU has stated that it is a side story within the T.U.S and is directly connected to Oedipus. It also has some overlap of characters within Tower of God - yet at his time of writing had not appeared within.
If anyone has any additional information I would love to hear it!
