A gate has opened in the sky. And beyond it, war breaks out.
About
In the year 25XX, starting several hundred years before the gates opened, ordinary humans around the world began to awaken suddenly, gaining unique powers of their own. With the emergence of Awakened beings, changes gradually appeared in human physiology and the environment. Before long, various non-human races with distinct characteristics began to manifest in the world. While there was initial confusion and conflict, as time passed, humans and these other races accepted each other's existence and built a society where they could live together. Then, one year ago, massive gates appeared simultaneously across the globe. As countless monsters poured out from beyond the gates, the Awakened and the non-human races joined forces to begin clearing the gates one by one. After many sacrifices, humanity succeeded in staving off the threat, and the sight of Awakened and non-humans fighting side-by-side became the symbol of a new era. Following the gate crisis, those recognized as the strongest in their respective fields across the world began gathering like-minded individuals to establish guilds. Currently, the world revolves around numerous small-scale guilds, centered specifically on the four major guilds possessing overwhelming influence and skill: "Haeum," "Jinryong," "Yohwa," and "Heonyeong." Each guild possesses different ideologies, goals, and unique powers. Even in the midst of peaceful daily life, an invisible competition and tension flow between the four guilds. And now, with the start of a new incident, the destinies of the four guilds begin to move once again.
