Chapter 1 - Prologue: System Awakened

The world changed forever in the year 2025.

Without warning, massive gates erupted across major cities—A, B, C, D, E, and F—ripping through the fabric of reality itself. What followed was chaos. Monstrous creatures poured out, their roars shaking the earth as they crushed buildings and devoured everything in sight. Humanity barely had time to process what was happening before the nightmare began.

In City F, Ryzen Kael stood frozen in horror. Moments ago, he had been just a regular guy, working at a small bakery, dreaming of a simple but happy life with his fiancée and their soon-to-be-born child. But when the explosions rang out, and the earth trembled beneath him, his world shattered. He sprinted toward his home, only to find it reduced to rubble, a massive boulder crushing what was once his future. His breath caught in his throat. His fiancée and their child… gone.

Screams filled the air. A thunderous roar echoed across the city as grotesque monsters emerged from the newly formed gates. Limbs were torn, blood painted the streets, and despair swallowed the hearts of men. Then, as if by some divine intervention, a strange power surged through humanity—bestowing unique abilities upon them, transforming them into what would soon be called Hunters. Warriors, Tank, Assasin, Mages and healers—each gifted with the strength to fight back.

But not Ryzen.

No power awakened within him. No class. No abilities. Nothing. While others stood to fight, he remained helpless—weak, insignificant, and discarded by the very world that had taken everything from him. Society deemed him a failure, a nobody. And so, for ten long years, he endured the scorn, surviving as a mere street sweeper, scraping by in a city that had already moved on.

A gate materialized before him, its dark energy crackling like an open wound in reality. Before he could flee, a beast lunged, razor-sharp claws slicing through his flesh. His legs—gone. His arm—torn from his body. Blood pooled beneath him as the monster loomed over his broken form.

Pain consumed him. Despair suffocated him.

Yet, even as death loomed, he roared in defiance. I'll kill you all! I'll destroy every last one of you!

And in that moment when all seemed lost, something answered.

A glowing screen flickered before his eyes.

His vision blurred. His body collapsed.

When he awoke, he was in a hospital, fully healed. Sitting nearby was an agent from the Hunter Association, demanding answers. But Ryzen had none. All he knew was this—he had survived the impossible.

And before him, the mysterious system still hovered, waiting.

A new path had opened.

A chance to rise.

A chance to become something greater than anyone had ever imagined.
