There was Rael, the First Hunter — a mortal chosen by the gods to lead humanity’s defense in the ancient war against the Voidborn.
But when the gods betrayed their own creation, Rael defied them. He chose shadow over divinity. Sacrifice over survival. In his final breath, he split reality and sealed his power across timelines — giving rise to the System.
Now, in the present day, the seal has cracked.A forgotten gate opens beneath the Earth.
Rael awakens — corrupted by millennia of silence — and he believes Jin-Woo has stolen what was once his.
To stop the destruction of all timelines, Jin-Woo must battle the very origin of hunting itself.
