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.

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.)
