For millennia, the celestial realm existed in harmony, a kingdom of gods ruling over the divine and mortal worlds alike. Yet, harmony is but an illusion when power is involved. The gods were divided into factions—those who sought to guide humanity and those who desired dominion over it. At the heart of this schism was a prophecy: A child shall be born of both mortal and divine blood, one who will surpass even the highest of gods.
This prophecy, spoken by the Oracle of Eternity, sent ripples of fear and ambition through the pantheon. Some gods believed this child could be a savior, bringing balance to all realms. Others, however, saw him as a threat—an existence that could overthrow the divine order. Among the latter was Xalzor, the Corrupt God of Dominion, who sought absolute control over all existence.
Xalzor led an insurrection, rallying gods who feared losing their supremacy. The celestial war began, shaking the foundations of the divine realm and spilling into the mortal world. Kingdoms fell, civilizations crumbled, and the heavens burned. The war lasted for centuries, yet neither side claimed victory. However, amid the chaos, a forbidden love blossomed.
A mortal woman named Elara, a warrior blessed by the gods, caught the attention of Zephiron, the God of War and Justice. Their love defied divine laws, and from their union, Daniel Armstrong was born. His birth marked the turning point of the war. The gods realized the prophecy had come to pass—the child destined to surpass them was now among them.
In desperation, Xalzor attempted to steal the infant and corrupt him, seeking to mold him into a weapon against the heavens. But Zephiron and the gods of justice stood against him, waging the final battle that led to Xalzor's downfall. The Corrupt God was overpowered and sealed deep within the Abyssal Dungeon, a prison of infinite floors designed to hold only the most wicked of deities. The war ended, but the scars remained.
The child, Daniel, was hidden in the mortal world, his divine heritage kept secret. The gods swore never to interfere with his life, believing that fate would take its course.
But Xalzor never forgot.
Sealed in the abyssal depths, Xalzor raged against his imprisonment. Though bound, he was not powerless. His essence seeped through the dungeon's floors, corrupting its denizens and warping its structure. For centuries, he schemed, waiting for a chance to escape. His divine senses scoured the world above, searching for a vessel, a pawn he could manipulate.
Raised in a world of warriors, he never believed in destiny, only in skill and preparation. His life revolved around combat, training endlessly in martial arts and tactics. Though respected for his intellect and leadership, he was also known for his slightly indulgent side, especially when it came to beautiful women.
Life was simple. He trained, he fought, he won.
Until the night everything changed.
Daniel was returning from a tournament, his mind analyzing every move he had made. The wind was cold, the moon high. Then, suddenly—a rupture in space. A golden glyph burned beneath his feet, a divine summoning circle activating against his will.
He had no time to react.
Light engulfed him, and then—darkness.
Daniel awoke to the scent of damp stone and blood. A cavern stretched around him, endless and foreboding. He was no longer in his world.
What the hell just happened?
Before panic could take hold, something else did—a voice, mechanical and divine.
[Welcome, Daniel Armstrong, to the Abyssal Dungeon.]
A translucent blue screen appeared before him, filled with glowing text.

His breath caught. His instincts screamed danger.
"This… This is some kind of joke, right?"
A deep chuckle echoed through the chamber, not from the system, but from the shadows.
"Welcome, child of prophecy."
Daniel's hands clenched into fists. He didn't know where he was or who was speaking—but he knew one thing:
He would survive.
And whoever had brought him here would regret it.
