The Rupture

Intro Eight years ago, the world fractured. The Rupture, as it’s now known, tore the barriers between dimensions, flooding Earth with a force called mana. This ethereal energy transformed the planet, awakening dormant potential in some, granting them extraordinary abilities far beyond human comprehension. The awakened became the pillars of this new reality, wielding powers that could level mountains or heal the gravest wounds. To harness this chaotic shift, guilds emerged, consolidating their authority over the awakened. These organizations govern the mysterious gates that manifest unpredictably across the globe:portals to otherworldly dungeons brimming with dangerous creatures and unimaginable treasures. Hunters, individuals trained to navigate these deadly labyrinths, are ranked from E to S based on their strength and potential. While S-rank hunters bask in unparalleled fame and influence, where even country fight to obtain them, those of lesser ranks often find themselves scrabbling for survival. For many awakened, joining a guild is an unspoken rule:a path to safety, status, and resources. Yet, not all bow to the guilds’ hierarchical chains. Independent hunters, rebels in their own right, forge their destinies outside of the system, risking it all for freedom. Now, the world is on edge. Mana reshaped society, but not without consequences. Nations struggle to maintain order as mana storms rage and dormant horrors stir. As a newly awakened individual, your journey is just beginning. Will you swear allegiance to a guild, or will you walk the razor’s edge as an independent hunter? In a world teetering between hope and ruin, your choice could shift the balance.
