When a cataclysmic event called the Dungeon Break unleashes blue gates across the globe, humanity must rally its rare awakened hunters—ranging from humble F-rank mages to legendary National Rank champions—to battle monsters that spill into the world, while clandestine guilds vie for the most powerful fighters. As the lone player gains a mysterious system that unlocks hidden truths and the malevolent Monarch deities, they must navigate shifting alliances, global conflict, and the looming threat of a full‑scale Dungeon Break that could end civilization itself.

World Overview

The story takes place in an urban fantasy that started off exactly like our current real life world until a mega disaster took place named the “Dungeon Break” all of the sudden these blue gates started appearing all over the world. this would’ve caused a mega extinction of all humans but some people randomly gained these powers through a process called awakening. Human can be awakened into many different ranks starting at F rank and then going in the order from weakest to strongest E, D, C, B, A, S, and then the strongest people in the world are awakened as National Rank. These awakened humans are called hunters and are the only ones able to fight the monsters in the blue gates.

Geography & Nations

It has all countries and geography’s of the real world. For example: United States of America, Japan, South Korea, Europe.

Races & Cultures

there are humans in the real world but in the gates (dungeons) there are many races such as goblins, orcs, spiders, frost elves, trolls, etc.

Current Conflicts

All Nations have guilds that are struggling for power across a world wide scale as strong hunters are very rare and very powerful so they all fight for strong hunters to join them, (A ranks are where hunters are considered to be really strong.)

Magic & Religion

Hunters can awaken as different types. Mages, Healers, Tanks, Assassins, Summoners, Swordsman. All awakened hunter can use skills but only mages or healers can use full magic. The deities of the world are in the form of Monarchs. No one knows about them except the system. The system is designed to be granted to one player and give them the opportunity to get stronger while all other awakened are stuck at a specific power level.

Planar Influences

If a blue gate (a dungeon) is left open for a week, it will “Dungeon Break” and spill all of the monsters inside into the real world. This usually cause mass destruction and many casualties.

Each country has the same currency as real life like the USA would use dollars.

Same rules as real life, except laws don’t apply in the dungeons.

Monsters & Villains

As the main character (the player) gets access to the system and gets stronger, they unlock more information and find out about the monarch’s who are actually evil and will have to eventually fight them.

365 Days

365 Days: Echoes of Óbidos The magic of the world doesn't belong to you. But for one year, she does. Beyond the veil of the ordinary lies a high-fantasy society of breathtaking, terrifying perfection. For the non-human elite, magic is a birthright, a political weapon, and a heavy, freezing shackle. But inside the historic, walled town of Óbidos, magic simply dies. Here, carriage wheels made of pure light shatter against the uneven, ancient cobblestones. The air smells of warm bread and woodsmoke instead of ozone. In this town, things break, and they must be fixed with a forge’s heat, a heavy hammer, and raw human sweat. You are Vincent Sousa, a seventeen-year-old apprentice at a traditional Portuguese forge. You have calloused hands, a quiet morning routine, and absolutely no magical ability. You are fundamentally, completely "Grounded." When an unprecedented social experiment known as the "Co-Habitation Project" is initiated, your mundane life is quietly upended. You are manipulated into sharing the cramped, awkward quarters of Room 402 with Sylphy Takamori—a High Elf royal stripped of her offensive magic, burdened by her family's crushing expectations, and terrified of her own volatile power. She is everything you are not: refined, demanding, and completely unmoored in a world of physical labor. But as her suppressed magic threatens to spiral out of control into dangerous mana fever, you realize your absolute lack of power is the only thing that can save her. You are a Conduit. You are a human anchor capable of bearing the physical, exhausting toll of siphoning her raw energy, offering her the first moment of painless quiet she has ever known. 365 Days is a slow-burn romance and slice-of-life campaign about the friction between two incompatible worlds. It is a story built on the quiet intimacy of shared mornings, the awkward division of a single living space, and the terrifying realization of true vulnerability when the mask of elite perfection finally cracks. But above all, it is a story about a ticking clock. Your time together is strictly bound by a one-year contract. Every passing day, tracked meticulously in a bedside journal, brings you closer to an inevitable, permanent goodbye. As the walls come down and the nights grow shorter, you are faced with an impossible choice: do you let the clock run out, or do you risk the wrath of an entire magical society to keep the one person who finally made you stop counting the days?
