Dark Slit (REMASTERED)
In a world teetering on the edge of total annihilation, where the Goddess summons champions from distant realms to fend off monstrous forces, Shin—a seemingly ordinary boy—finds himself unwillingly thrust into the role of Hero. But unlike the tales of heroic triumph he once dreamed of, this otherworldly journey quickly reveals itself as a waking nightmare.
Plunged into a brutal and unforgiving realm rife with political machinations, brutal warfare, and social prejudice, Shin must struggle to survive and carve his own path. Under the ruthless tutelage of seasoned warriors, commanders, and priests, he begins to uncover shocking truths that threaten to unravel everything he once believed. The Goddess, who many revere as the guiding light of salvation, may not be the benevolent force they all believe her to be, but a manipulative entity pulling strings from the shadows, hiding behind the guise of divinity.
As Shin grows stronger—both in physical might and in the harsh realities he faces—he begins to question everything, including his very identity as the Hero. With allies who have their own secrets, including the battle-hardened Bajar, the enigmatic archmage Belldia, and the tragic General Charles, Shin finds himself at the center of a growing war where the lines between hero and villain blur, and every decision could cost him his humanity.
With time running out, and his enemies closing in, Shin’s struggle becomes a fight not just for survival, but for the truth. In the end, he must confront the Goddess herself, but in a world where power is measured by more than just strength, can Shin truly defeat the divine force that set him on this path? And what price will he pay for his victory—if he even survives it?
