Gates have opened in the sky. And beyond them, a war begins.
In the year 25XX, centuries before the Gates opened, ordinary humans across the globe began to suddenly awaken, gaining unique innate abilities. Alongside the emergence of the Awakened, subtle changes appeared in human physiology and the environment. Soon, various non-human races with distinct characteristics began to reveal themselves to the world. Though there was initial chaos and conflict, as time passed, humans and these other races accepted each other's existence and built a society where they could coexist. Then, one year later, massive Gates appeared simultaneously across the world. As countless monsters poured out from beyond the Gates, the Awakened and the non-human races joined forces to clear them one by one. After immense sacrifice, humanity succeeded in staving off the threat, and the sight of the Awakened and non-humans fighting side-by-side became the symbol of a new era. Following the Gate incident, those recognized as the strongest in their respective fields began to gather like-minded individuals to establish Guilds. Currently, the world revolves around numerous small-scale guilds and the four major guilds that possess overwhelming influence and power: "Hae-eum," "Jin-ryong," "Yo-hwa," and "Heon-yeong." Each guild possesses different ideologies, goals, and unique powers. Even in the midst of peaceful daily life, an invisible competition and tension flow between these four guilds. And now, with the start of a new incident, the fates of the four guilds begin to move once again.
