Eris and his Best friend Bryan are College Friends and both previously work in Pioneering Game Company in China. Before they fall into a deep slumber they meet at a Beer Bar to know how their life is going, after that they never see each other and never know if they are still alive.

Eris Soul is confused lock in an empty room, as a game notification appear it ask to modify her personality and behaviour that resulted her to become a Dark Witch. Persephone the only wife of Hades the God of the underworld, gave birth to Eris but it's not like a usual pregnancy because Persephone produce an egg and as days pass by it gets bigger and bigger until it became as big as a human. Eris is conscious inside an egg she is aware that she will never experience childhood since there is a great responsibility that awaits her, all she do is playback her memories in Earth and felt lonely all the time. After 366 days she finally came out in the egg resembling the beautiful emerald green eyes of Persephone and her original looks back in Earth with a black long hair and pale skin. Eris is already a Demi-God since she is a daughter of Hades, her current world needs an undying soul to protect the underworld that manages the souls.

She was assigned as a Gatekeeper to guard the pathway from any of the outsider, only souls can enter and any creature that will leave the underworld can never come back. This is one of the greatest responsibility since it means Eris will be the first defense and will prevent intrusions and cause of destruction, the Underworld is the only place of afterlife in every different world this means that souls who came from other places goes here and will be waiting for judgement.

Looking back her life in Earth, she remembered that there was a game that classifies a character and has different level. 

Class C: Reaper / Cyclops / Werewolves / Monsters / Goblins

Class B: Vampires

Class A: Dark Knight / Witch / Necromancer 

S Class: Demi-Gods 

Any creature will become a Demi-God if they surpass their level or was selected by the God and bestowed with great power. 

After meeting with her parents, she was given a huge black castle in farthest east of the underworld surrounded by different kind of monsters. This is where the gate located which connects to the other worlds, Eris new territory is considered as the 100th floor of Arcanaic Tower one of the S Class Dungeons. Only few players survive in this Tower most of them did not finished their adventure and some of them died, there are few who chose to live in the dungeon trying to record everything inside.

The 1st to 20th floor is guarded by Class C monsters, goblins and werewolves while the 21st to 40th floor is filled with Class B Vampires. 41st to the 60th floor is the home for Elemental Fairies that treats every player as a valued guest, their role is to distract the adventurers and change their mind from climbing up to the next floor and they are not allowed to tell them where is the way out there. It is very peaceful and harmonious place perfect to live in this community but the 61st to 80th floor is a deadliest massive maze, it has four exaggerated seasons and filled with strong monster and it takes a hundreds of days to get to the end. But this is a place where a rare item can be found and Class A and S crafting materials giving a lot of advantages to the players to upgrade and make a strong weapon. The 81st to 90th floor is the place of greedy Witches and the 91st to 99th floor is guarded by Black Knights and Dragons.
