Ah Sun-ho was an ordinary young man living in Seoul, enjoying a quiet, uneventful life—until the day the world was torn apart. Gates appeared across the Earth, unleashing horrific monsters and plunging humanity into chaos. As governments crumbled and cities burned, a new breed of humans emerged: *Hunters*, individuals who gained mysterious powers by killing these creatures. With each kill, they unlocked a strange "Status Window" allowing them to grow stronger, faster, and deadlier.
But Ah Sun-ho didn’t know any of this. Sheltered in his apartment, he was oblivious to the catastrophe unfolding outside. That changed when he killed his first monster in a desperate moment of survival, awakening the power of *Nexus Allgona*—an enigmatic system that offered him the ability to gain strength by slaying anything with life. Animals, monsters, and even humans became potential sources of power, a temptation that soon grew hard to resist.
As the world descended into chaos, factions of Hunters battled for dominance, alliances formed and shattered, and secrets about the Gates began to surface. Guided by his instincts and the mysterious *Nexus Allgona*, Sun-ho quickly learned that power came at a price—every point earned required a sacrifice, and every battle left a mark on his soul.
Struggling to survive in a world that now seemed like a twisted game, Sun-ho must navigate a landscape filled with rival Hunters, ferocious monsters, and dangerous secrets. What are the true origins of the Gates? Who—or what—is behind the Nexus system? As Sun-ho uncovers the truth, he faces a choice: Will he remain human, or will he become the very monster he hunts to save the world from its impending doom?
In *Nexus Allgona: The Awakening*, humanity’s greatest battle isn’t just for survival—it’s for the soul itself.
The day the gates appeared, the world as humanity knew it came to an end. Mysterious, glowing rifts opened up across the planet, releasing terrifying creatures from realms unknown. In the first week, cities were overrun, armies shattered, and governments struggled to contain the chaos. Amid the confusion, those brave—or foolish—enough to confront the monsters discovered something astonishing: by slaying these creatures, they awakened new powers, gaining mysterious abilities and a strange "stat window" visible only to them. These people came to be known as Hunters.
