In the heart of The Dread City, a brutal vertical metropolis where only the ruthless survive, Ren emerges from The Pit, a forgotten underworld of darkness and depravity. Scarred and inhumanly pale, Ren has endured the city's most terrifying depths, driven by a single desire: to reach the top and see the mythological sun, a distant symbol of hope in a world ruled by violence and despair. As he ascends, Ren must navigate savage gangs, twisted rulers, and his own fading humanity in a relentless quest for survival and freedom.

In a city where the weak are prey, will Ren rise, or will he become another shadow in the endless night?
