Fifty years ago, the Abyss appeared in the world, and the world was never the same. 

From the Abyss emerged Magical Beasts with unimaginable strength and power that sought to prey on humans and destroy the human race.

Yet, alongside the Abyss was a power to awaken a magical occupation that grants its bearers magical abilities, enabling them to fight back.

Now, awakened humans with magical abilities are tasked with venturing deep into the Abyss to destroy it once and for all.

But there is more to the Abyss than humanity knew.

…

…

Thoren Starfall has been plagued by disease since his childhood. 

To save him from the Mana-Eating Worm, his parents took a high-interest loan when he was close to dying. 

When Thoren Starfall recovered from the disease, he awakened the weakest occupation: a Necromancer.

As an Awakener, it is compulsory for him to venture into the Abyss, but with a useless occupation, his fate is already decided. 

Having lost their first daughter to the Abyss, the Starfall family fell into despair. 
Thoren, however, is different. 

While everyone calls his occupation useless, he believes otherwise. 

Hidden beneath his weak occupation lies an Ex-Rank talent, one that even he doesn’t fully understand. 

But first, he must venture into the Abyss and return in less than 14 days to protect his parents from becoming slaves.

The moment Thoren finished reading the information panel, the massive Thunderhide Rhino slowly raised its head and fixed its gaze on him.


For several seconds, neither side moved.


The enormous beast stood in the middle of the trench, its thick body occupying a considerable portion of the passage. 


Its four powerful legs were planted firmly against the ground, while its heavy horn pointed toward Thoren, reflecting the pale light of the Soul Lantern floating above his head.


The atmosphere became increasingly suffocating as the Thunderhide Rhino continued staring at the intruder who had dared to enter its territory. 


Small traces of thunder flickered across its thick hide, producing faint crackling sounds that echoed through the otherwise silent trench.


Thoren remained seated on the undead Greater Dune Scorpion, observing the beast without changing his expression.
