Gate Babylon

In a world where dungeons are worshipped as divine trials and the System is hailed as a blessing, Beno Mark knows only one truth—everything is a lie. Haunted by the sin of killing his own parents, burdened by guilt, and shattered by the disappearance of his younger brother Renzo Mark in a mysterious Violet Gate, Beno spirals into madness, questioning reality itself. The System, which promises power and salvation, is nothing but a trap, binding the souls of countless hunters. The world itself is not as it seems—vast beyond imagination, hiding secrets that even the gods fear. Yet, Beno refuses to crumble. Driven by obsession and guilt, he awakens the cursed King System, the most forbidden and dominating force ever sealed. As fragments of truth and ancient conspiracies emerge, Beno, alongside Luna, Charles, Raul, and Isabella, begins to unravel the world's true history—a truth that has been hidden for centuries. What is the Violet Gate? Who controls the System? And why was Beno chosen as the vessel of the King of All Beings? The path is clear. Kneel... or Bleed.

As a skilled blacksmith, he leads a quiet life until he and an outcast girl, Luna, uncover a long-forgotten legend about the Silver Pentagram, a once-glorious adventurer's guild. Their journey takes them through perilous cities, into the depths of a colossal mechanical tree, and against the will of those who wish to keep the past buried.

Will Leo reclaim his memories before the darkness overtakes him? Or will he become the very thing he once sought to destroy?

74 years ago, a mysterious surge of energy warped the entire world. It did not cause any damage to electrical devices, but caused giant gates to form. The gates are a portal to another world, where you kill monsters and retrieve items. After humans adapted, the world began to evolve around this system. People also gained skills and abilities, saying that one person was stronger than another was incorrect. If they were stronger, the weaker could just level up and get stronger. But there was a limit to these levels. When a human is born, there is a fixed limit that they cannot exceed. Guilds have formed to hunt through the gates. Gates that are left unchecked will break and let loose all the monsters hidden inside. So if the guilds are not quick enough, the city will turn to rubble. Gates and "Hunters" are ranked with a letter system. The rankings go from E, D, C, B, A, and S. E being the least powerful and S being the strongest. But only 7 people around the world have exceeded S rank. We call those select few, Grand Hunters.

For some, it’s about adventure. For others, it’s about proving themselves. But one thing is certain—only the worthy will see what lies beyond.
