189 years after the Fall, Earth is no longer the world it once was. Meteors brought with them destruction—and something worse; Corruption, an energy that slowly rots away the body and mind. In its wake, Aether awakened—its polar opposite, offering power through structure, balance, and sacrifice.

In the shadows of society, humans chase strength by walking the Path of Ruin, risking their souls to survive the ever-growing Deadzones.

As the World Authority tightens its grip, and rumors of an uprising circulate about, of civilizations beyond the stars, Alexander is forced to navigate the dangers of the world, and the ever growing Deadzones that threaten to destroy the world.

A child was dropped off at our building later their parents jumped off a bridge leaving the child outside our door. My name is Doctor Levi and I am one of the scientists in this facility it seems like some little boy's parents just dropped him off thinking it was an orphanage...This is an Assasin Training Facility when I took a good look at the little boy he seemed to have black hair and green eyes and looked about 3 (people here range from 22 to 45 years ago) so we took him in it was extremely rare to have people this young and I gave him a room and started conducting experiments on him I injected him with three things: 40% was a fluid that makes his blood flammable, and because I accidentally put too much a single drop could destroy 3 a school, 10% of a stabilizer I made' and 50% of our newly made psychotic living organism or we gave him the name Leo. only 6 people with Leo exist due to the nature of this organism. When Leo is triggered not only does the personality change but the appearance too: the person's hair turns a snowy white color and the eyes become blood red (we thought it was cool). many things can trigger Leo and they all involve blood, for the boy whose name was revealed to be Loid if he were to see blood Leo would trigger. every Leo also has a different way and attraction of killing people depending on the host, Loid or Firebug as we'd call him is attracted to fire so we can make a guess that Leo would be a killer involved with only fire or an arsonist. we spent years training, electrocute and injecting him to make him qualified to become an assassin. finally, 11 years later he would be found by his family and taken away but he is still working for the organization we couldn't let a Leo holder get away like that.

When monsters sprouted from suddenly appearing towers all over the world, the world leaders created an organization of skilled warriors to tackle this problem. The warriors compromised of awakened humans; people who had gotten skills similar to those in a video game. Unfortunately, not everyone was willing to join this attack force, so the world leaders implemented a lottery-system to fill out the ranks. A few years later, Evelyn’s twin sister was chosen via lottery to become a discoverer, but their biased parents forced Evelyn to go in her sister's stead, putting her in the line of danger. The only salvation was that her finance was also sent on the same mission. The mission was to conquer a new Boss floor, and they were to fight against a monster of unpresented might. What she hadn’t expected was that her fiancé would betray her, because of a plot he concocted together with her sister. The monster annihilated their whole team before they were finally able to defeat it, but her fiancé had no thoughts of letting her leave the tower. Stabbing her in the back, he leered over her as he explained their plan while she slowly bled to death. With the last of her life force, dead set on getting her revenge on the man she had promised her life with, she heals the boss monster in hopes that it will kill him. As she slowly closes her eyes, the world going dark around her, a notification from the system pops up. “ New class: Black healer Congratulations! You have completed the hidden legendary quest, healing an S-ranked monster on its last breath by sacrificing yourself. Your immensely caring heart should be an inspiration to all healers, both human and monsters! Not caring for the wounded’s different race and even sacrificing the last of your own life, you have been given a new chance at life. ” Waking up, she is now back three years before the battle took place. Her new life starts now!
