World Setting: The System of Power The Sky That Shattered

The sky cracked open, and from the wound, darkness bled into the world.They called them Rifts — gateways birthing endless nightmares.

From that day, power became law.Those with Mana or Aura rose as humanity's final defense.

Yet no one knows why the Rifts appeared… or what watches from the other side.Some call it fate. Others, evolution.

But soon, one boy will uncover the truth that binds Light, Shadow, and all that lies between.

In this world, strength isn't a choice —it's survival . 

The World of Atlanta

Once, Atlanta knew peace — a world of light, song, and golden fields untouched by fear.But peace is a fragile dream. It shattered the moment the sky did.

Over five hundred years ago, the world of Atlanta changed forever when the first Rift appeared —a tear connecting it to the realm of Dark Energy, a chaotic force born from the abyss beyond existence.

From those rifts, Dungeons emerged, spilling forth monsters that defied all human understanding.

The Age of Peace ended that day.Kingdoms fell, civilizations burned, and humanity teetered on extinction — until the first Mana and Aura users rose to fight back.

Even now, five centuries later, the world still trembles beneath skies that remember their shattering.

Historical Note: The First Rift

Year 0 of the Rift Calendar — The Northern Cataclysm

On the 3rd day of the Lunar Eclipse, a fracture tore open above the Northern Continent.From it poured an unknown energy — later named Dark Energy — twisting the land and birthing countless Dungeons across the world.Mountains crumbled. Seas boiled. Cities vanished beneath waves of corruption.

Millions perished within days.The event marked the dawn of the Rift Era, a time when the line between worlds was forever blurred.

Survivors called it divine punishment.Scholars called it the beginning of evolution.But history remembers it as —

The Day of Shattered Skies.

Power Ranks

Every being in this world possesses an energy — either Mana or Aura.This energy determines status, strength, and survival.

Power Ranking System:D < D+ < C < C+ < B < B+ < A < A+ < S < S+ < SS < SS+ < SSS < SSS+

Mana Users

Born with the ability to command the external flow of energy.They walk the path of Mages, releasing Mana outward to weave spells and manipulate the elements.

Fire, lightning, water, ice — the world itself bends to their will.

Aura Users

Born with internal energy known as Aura.They follow the path of Swordsmen, Spearmen, Archers, Assassins, and Fighters.

Aura strengthens the body, sharpens the senses, and can be infused into weapons to shatter even steel.

Where Mana shapes the world, Aura defies it.

Dungeons — gates between worlds 

Dungeons are unstable gateways where Atlanta and the Abyss of Dark Energy collide.Each Dungeon's hue reveals its danger and the strength of the nightmares lurking within — creatures born from the Abyss, driven to hunt all that lives

Demons — The Shadows Beyond the Rift

When the Rifts opened, Demons began to pour into Atlanta.

But the barrier between worlds remains imperfect — only Demons below Commander Rank can cross.The higher beings — Dukes and Kings — remain bound to the Abyss, whispering their will through corrupted followers.

Balance and Survival

The balance between Mana, Aura, and Dark Energy defines life and death in Atlanta.Five centuries of survival have turned power into religion, hierarchy, and destiny.

The weak kneel.The strong ascend.And those who defy their limits… rewrite fate itself.

Whispers of the Next Era

The world believes it understands its chains — the Rifts, the monsters, the power.But the truth sleeps still, buried in shadow.

"But even the strongest chains rust with time… and the world is beginning to tremble once more."
