No one remembered when the rifts first appeared.
One day, the sky simply tore open.
From those cracks in reality came monsters—creatures that fed on fear, destroyed cities, and turned entire nations into ruins overnight. Humanity stood on the edge of extinction.
That was when the Gods intervened.
They gifted humans power.
They called it Universal Energy—a force that awakened within certain individuals, granting them abilities beyond human limits. These chosen ones became known as Hunters.
With their strength, the rift monsters were pushed back.
Humanity survived.
But survival came at a cost.
Power created hierarchy.
Those who awakened Universal Energy rose to the top of society. They became heroes, celebrities… royalty. Governments bowed to them. Corporations fought to recruit them. Schools were rebuilt solely to train them.
And those who failed to awaken?
They were labeled useless.
Trash.
People who couldn't fight had no value.
In this new world, strength decided everything.
