Ten years ago, the Earth underwent a cataclysmic shift.
Portals known as "dungeons" began appearing across the globe, each spewing forth monsters of all shapes and sizes.
Humanity, initially powerless to stop these creatures, was pushed to the brink of collapse.
Entire cities were destroyed, and the governments struggled to protect the population. It seemed as though the end was near.
However, in the face of overwhelming danger, certain individuals began to awaken superhuman abilities.
These people, who would later be called "STARS," possessed unique powers that allowed them to fight the monsters head-on.
The emergence of STARS gave humanity a fighting chance, and over time, Earth adapted to this new reality, coexisting with dungeons and monsters.
"My father wasn't just a scientist—he was a pioneer,"
"In Korea, he stood as one of the top figures, not only in technology but as a symbol of hope and resilience."
"While others fell to despair, he led with a vision for humanity's survival."
"He was respected, even feared by some, but that same brilliance made us a target. It brought the monsters to our doorstep, both human and otherwise. "
"AND BECAUSE OF THAT OUR LIVES WERE SHATTERED COMPLETELY."
"But it wasn't just the monsters from those dungeons who where dangerous"
People… people who wore the face of friends and allies, people I thought we could trust—they turned against us."
"And as for me?"
"I was helpless…weak."
"Powerless to protect him, to protect my mother, to protect anyone."
"Why didn't I awaken like the others?"
"Why I was left… with nothing?"
"Those questions, unanswered, tormented me until the day i had my meeting with HIM."
Then, out of the darkness, a voice had come, as smooth as silk, as thunderous as a storm.
"YOU SEEKK REVENGE BRAT?"
The words dripped with a promise of power, of vengeance.
"Embrace the darkness within, and I shall grant you the strength to make them pay."
"Yes" - I answered directly
"I didn't hesitate.
"I accepted his hand without even knowing what price I'd pay."
"And that's how my path began and the mistake i did that day that i accepted his hand without even hearing the conditions."
"But now... I have awakened. I know my purpose, and I will make them pay."
