Claw works all day for a piece of bread. If he doesn't meet his daily quota, he doesn't eat, and Quarry Supervisor Van Quarran punishes him. After his father died, his uncle looked out for him. But lately, Zack has been in the hospital, recovering from Van Quarran's punishments for Claw's poor performance. At night, a glimpse at the sky through one of the rare openings in their dark work affords him a glimpse of the moon and stars. Will he ever escape the darkness of Haden? And what will ascending into the light and freedom cost him?

In the towering kingdom of Urunaria, society is literally built on inequality. The wealthiest reside at the top, while the poor are confined to the dark, crumbling depths below.
For Claw, a young slave raised by his uncle in the lowest levels, life offers no future - only labor, loss, and silence. But when his uncle is executed by the state, Claw inherits a mysterious device: Gizmo - a pair of mechanical gloves with the power to grip, scale, and defy the very system built to crush him.
Armed with nothing but this outlawed tool and his burning desire for
freedom, Claw begins his ascent, both up the tower and against a society that
deems him worthless.
Blending sci-fi action with sharp social commentary, Roko Souna’s Gizmo Riser challenges readers to consider the cost of hierarchy and the courage it takes to rise. Perfect for fans of Blame!, Deadman Wonderland, and Made in Abyss, Roku Souna’s daring debut delivers explosive worldbuilding, unforgettable visuals, and a hero who refuses to stay in his place.
