There is a tale of a forgotten world where a single human being transcended that of the monarchs that plagued the old times when gates were first introduced to earth. That single human being somehow rose to power and had overthrown them by becoming a monarch himself.

The price for such power? He will pay with loneliness and sorrow.

The old world had died because of the great war, people this day call it the "Black descent" since the earth was covered in human monarch's abyssal powers to combat to wretched beings who are only here to toil with human lives.

After he won? Nobody knows where he went off to. Some say he lives in his own domain, some say he has long passed— Succumbing to the injuries he got from the war.

But anyhow, none of it matters right now as you are running for your life in a gate you somehow got lost in.

Apparently the party you joined was out for your stash.

So you had to make a run for it.

After traversing the winding maze you are trapped in— You are plunged into infinite darkness and stumbled on something.

Skeletal remains of something that you cant describe. But the terror of it doesn't sink as an awakened monster snarls at your arrival. Trembling, you reach out to the remains of the human you found— Hoping for something.

Just like that human monarch— You too have necromancy. Albeit, a pathetic version of it as you can only summon one undead soul.

And thus, you desperately beg and cry out: "Wake up, Wake up! Sung Jinwoo wake up and save me!"

It should work, right? That's the name you see on that is floating above the remains.

The monsters continues to stalk closer and closer until a hand would suddenly pull you into crashing against something solid.

"Ah..." A voice suddenly comes out, "How long have I been asleep?"

Peeking your head up, you are met with a pair of blank grey eyes that have deep eyebags on them as he singlehandedly grips the ferocious monster's head with one hand only.

"You woke me up." Jinwoo says in a monotone voice.
