Personally, I don't really care if TOG's story is about "FUG and Zahard"s' conflict. I really want Baam to start climbing the tower for himself, learn about the world (thus, we reader do as well) and make a choice. I would like to Grace Mirchea Luslec to just let Baam do whatever he wants for now, and the slayers (Karaka, Yama and stuff) to stop messing around with him.
I don't care if the end result is still FUG vs King as long as we get different things in between. There are so many more things we could learn about this world and the system. This is wasting so much potential.
Yes, but what does Baam want? He wants to hold onto every little thing he has that he cares for and drag it back into his dark little cave. Baam is Smeagol! You're asking for SIU and FUG to give Smeagol freedom! In all seriousness though, Baam doesn't care enough to be the one to help us find out more about the TOG world, and I honestly don't feel like we'll find out more about this world until we actually meet Zahard.
I too want to know more about The Tower, but its also clear to me that SIU wants to keep that information for later. Right now this story isn't even about climbing The Tower, its about getting through Zahard's Tower. Really, more than Baam getting away from FUG, I want him to ally with them. I want Baam to realize that part of the reason he's going through so much hell is because of Zahard.
As far as we know, if Zahard and the Family Heads hadn't set up this whole Regular and Ranker system, Baam's story would be far simpler. Rachael would have gotten into The Tower through Baam's power, be rejected by Headon, Headon would then have no reason to even keep her around, Rachael would then either be thrown out for Baam to find/ killed/used as bait to have Baam climb The Tower as it was meant to be climbed until he either succeeds or dies.
