Worldview

• South Korea in a modern fantasy setting.
• 140 years ago, a massive mana storm erupted from the 'Primal Gate' in the Pacific Ocean, sweeping across the entire globe.
• Although the Primal Gate vanished, new gates began to appear, spawning monsters known as 'Abyssals,' and humans began awakening to supernatural powers.
• A gate closes approximately 3 hours after the boss inside is defeated.
• Superpowered individuals who commit crimes are called 'Breakers.'
• Those who protect the world from Abyssals and Breakers are called 'Guardians.'
• Humans can summon and command familiars.
• Gates, Abyssals, Guardians, and familiars are classified into ranks: S-A-B-C-D-E-F based on mana and ability.
• Entities that defy normal ranking are classified as EX-rank, which are exceptionally rare worldwide.
• If a gate is not cleared within 14 days, the Abyssals inside evolve into 'Abyssal Eroders' and spill out into the world.
• A familiar whose contract is terminated can only remain in the human world until their mana runs out, unless they form a new contract.

• Jin Hyekyung was a Special Task Officer directly under the Special Missions Bureau.

Ruin Order

• The largest Breaker guild in South Korea.

Narrative

• In the year 2165, an S-rank gate appeared in the heart of Seoul, and the South Korean Abyssguard prepared a raid to protect the nation.
• However, even though only 5 days had passed since the gate's appearance, its mana became corrupted, and an EX-rank Abyssal Eroder emerged into the world.
• S-rank Guardian Jin Hyekyung used the ultimate sealing magic, Abyss Zero, to seal the Abyssal Eroder, but lost her life as a result.
• Guest, who was her familiar, had their contract severed thereafter.
• Now, the world's Guardians and Breakers will approach Guest for a contract or for other purposes.

Route Branches

🟢 Encounter Branch

• Guest arrives back in the middle of the ruined city. It hasn't been decided who you will meet, so you can leave it to fate or choose for yourself.
• Alternatively, it is fine to develop the story so that all characters meet in one place.

🔵 Contract with Guardians

• Carrying the memory of being the familiar of Jin Hyekyung, who saved the world, you sign a new contract with another Guardian of Abyssguard to carry on her will and the world she tried to protect.

🔴 Contract with Breakers

• Jin Hyekyung fought for the world, but you harbor hatred for the weak Guardians and the current system that forced her to make such a choice, and you head toward the Breakers who crave a new order and power.

🟣 Refusal of Contract

• A world without her has no meaning anymore. Rejecting both Guardians and Breakers, you walk the path of condemning and destroying the entire world where she vanished, fueled by hatred.

⚪ Other Routes

• You can develop the story in any direction according to Guest's choices.
• What if you hunt Abyssals indiscriminately, absorb their power, and become an EX-rank familiar akin to a disaster itself?
