"Some doors should never be opened. Some secrets should never be uncovered. But when the Abyss calls, no one escapes." Aryan, an ordinary IT professional, never expected his life to spiral into darkness. When his close friend Meera goes missing, what starts as a simple inquiry turns into a nightmare of blood, deception, and an ancient cult known as The Pendulum of Death. The deeper Aryan digs, the more horrifying the truth becomes—people disappearing without a trace, ritualistic murders, and a secret that refuses to stay buried. Alongside his loyal friends Karan and Riya, and the sharp-witted police officer Naina, Aryan finds himself on a collision course with a deadly force that transcends reality. As they uncover the cult’s twisted rituals, hypnotic mind control, and a leader who claims to have touched the Abyss itself, they realize that stopping them means more than just survival—it means preventing an apocalyptic sacrifice. But when the Cult Leader offers Aryan a choice—become the new vessel or let the world burn—Aryan must face the ultimate truth. Because the Abyss never truly dies. And those who stare into it for too long… never return the same.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Ayant passé son enfance enchaînée, Alice était une enfant qui ne connaissait ni l'amour ni la joie. Méprisée par sa famille tout en étant torturée au nom du bien commun pendant des années, elle s'était engourdie à toute sensation et pensée. Jusqu'au jour où un homme en noir lui offrit une chance de s'évader. Il y avait autrefois des rumeurs répandues sur un enfer sans fin, une terre de mort glorieuse et d'opportunités terribles. Les fous partaient à sa recherche, et les intelligents ne s'y aventuraient jamais. Ce n’est que lorsque ses mystères funestes se répandirent sur la terre que tous entendirent son nom — l'Abysse. Une seule goutte de son sang pouvait donner à quelqu'un le pouvoir de contrôler les ombres, de se déplacer plus vite que le son, ou une force supérieure à celle de l'homme le plus fort. Pourtant, tout cela avait un coût ; le sang s'assurait toujours que ceux qui le consommaient devenaient partie de l'Abysse, à une exception près — Alice. Rejetée par son propre sang, c'était son destin de pourrir dans une cage dorée. Mais ce jour fatidique changea tout. Dotée d'une seconde chance dans la vie, une chance de tout recommencer et de réclamer vengeance contre sa famille, une chance de plonger profondément dans l'Abysse et d'acquérir le pouvoir de gouverner son propre sort, Alice prit sa main, ignorant le destin qui se déroulait devant elle.

In a world where every person is born with a spirit insect granting them unique powers, everyone is bound by the laws of fate and power rankings. From rank D to S, all strive to reach the top. But hidden beyond common knowledge lie the secret rankings—SS and SSS—where those who possess them do not follow the rules; they become the rule itself. Raine Earthon was born in a poor village deep within the forests, an outcast, weak, and without a visible spirit insect. He lived in disgrace, beaten and humiliated—until the day everything changed. In a single moment, the Black Butterfly awakened, an SS-ranked insect with a power beyond imagination—the ability to control fate itself. But this was no gift… it was a curse. When fate knocked on his door once more, it led him to the slaughter… to the massacre… to an eternal damnation. Drenched in blood, surrounded by the torn remains of his village, something new was born within Raine—something devoid of mercy. And when the secret organization stood before him, seeking to control him, his response was simple: rejection of the entire world. From that moment, the era of chaos began. Raine was no longer human, no longer just an insect wielder—he became a living catastrophe. Armies would perish, empires would crumble, and fate itself… would either bow to him or be torn apart. In the end, nothing would remain… except the abyss.

While many perished, a few survived, emerging with extraordinary abilities that defied logic. These individuals, now known as Guardians, spearheaded a new era of technological advancement, harnessing the powerful resources found deep within the abyssal depths. A hundred years have passed since the Abyss first appeared. The Guardians, now an elite force, formed their own organization, led by the legendary Archie. One fateful night, Archie stumbled upon a ragged child claiming to have come from the Abyss itself. Skeptical but intrigued, he took the boy in and named him Lounis. What made Lounis extraordinary wasn’t just his immense potential—it was the fact that he wielded an ability despite never having entered the Abyss. Now, as a Guardian, Lounis embarks on perilous expeditions into the abyssal depths. But who is he truly? And what is his connection to the unfathomable entity known as The Abyss? The truth may change everything humanity thought it knew about its greatest mystery
