The Abyss: Humanity's Uprising
In 2045, humanity’s age of prosperity was shattered when the Abyss Gates erupted across the world. Within days, monstrous beasts spilled forth, immune to mankind’s strongest weapons. Nuclear fire burned only the weakest of them; cities fell in hours. For twelve long years, the war raged, and Earth’s population collapsed to less than five billion.
But the Gates carried more than death. They radiated Abyssal Energy, mutating the land, flora, and fauna—and awakening humans to superhuman potential. These new warriors, called Hunters, turned the tide. With their strength, humanity reclaimed fragments of their world, built colossal walled cities, and mined the alien realms beyond the Gates for exotic metals, energy, and weapons. Four great nations rose from the ashes: Northern Virelia, Thryssia Expanse, Oryndor Reach, and the Highlands of Aelvorn.
Yet Earth is no longer the only battlefield. As Gates multiply, rifts stretch further into the cosmos. Explorers and Hunters begin venturing beyond, encountering alien civilizations scarred by the same nightmare, and uncovering ruins that speak of an intelligence older—and far darker—than the Abyss itself.
Whispers spread of a truth too vast to comprehend: the Gates are not a natural calamity. They are a design. The Abyss Beasts are but pawns, and the true enemy is waiting, watching, and hungering for the essence of entire universes.
Humanity’s survival is no longer just a war for Earth. It is the opening move in a struggle that spans the stars.
