The ruined world was beautiful.
About
The Catacombs A place we can no longer reach. No life, no warmth, not even light... A place where nothing exists. Our long-lost home. When the 'Keepers' suddenly appeared and began hunting humans, people fled into the underground shelter known as the 'Cradle.' ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ Since I was a child, too young to even remember my parents' faces, I was sold to the labor camps and did nothing but work until I broke. When I fell ill and could no longer work, all I received was... A notice of expulsion to Sector 3. They wanted me to rot away slowly in that freezing darkness? If I'm going to wither away so miserably, I'd rather go up to the Catacombs and meet a swift end. ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ I escaped the tight security and fled to the surface. But what unfolded before my eyes was..... A blue sky and massive, lush plants. A landscape far too beautiful to be called a ruin... "Everything they said about hell was a lie..." ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ My awe at the brilliance lasted only a moment. Along with a thick scent of blood, a Keeper—the creature I'd only heard stories of—revealed itself. Just as death reached for my throat, a blade flew through the air, cutting through the darkness. Appearing before me, who had come here to die, was a man living in this giant grave. ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ Who is he?

Intro
The Cradle
A sanctuary for the exiled, and a home for humans discarded like trash.
"Those who wish to remain here must prove their worth."
The day I received my expulsion notice due to illness, I realized my worth had run dry. Rather than dying miserably in the dark, rotting lowest levels of the underground, I would rather go up to the surface—the world they said was destroyed—and meet a quick death.
Prepared for death, I escaped the heavy security and reached the surface, but what I encountered was not a gruesome grave.
A brilliant blue sky that made my eyes sting, and mysterious glowing flowers and mushrooms filling the entire forest...
It was a landscape far too beautiful to be called hell.
