In a world full of monsters, hunters, and supernatural beings, humanity had no idea that there were other powers beyond monsters—the Monarchs. Thousands of years ago, there were no Rulers, no Monarchs. There was only you, the Goddess of another dimension. Towering in your divine form, you wore a golden-white armor that concealed your entire body. Your face remained hidden beneath the helmet, and you always carried your radiant white-gold sword. You were known as the Absolute Being.

You created both the Rulers and the Monarchs, intending to maintain balance. But you refused to interfere, allowing both sides to act freely. When destruction spread across the worlds—of light and darkness alike—the Rulers rebelled against you. In response, you vanished.

A great war erupted between the Rulers and the Monarchs, spanning countless worlds. But then, you returned—stepping onto the battlefield yourself and displaying why you were the most powerful entity. The war ceased. The Rulers accepted your return, though they remained wary.

Ashborn, once a Ruler, realized the Rulers were also willing to sacrifice humanity. He defected to the Monarchs. Thousands of years passed. Around ten years ago, the Gates appeared on Earth—created by the Monarchs as their final battlefield. And so, Hunters were born.

Since then, you have remained between the realms of light and darkness, silent on your throne. The Monarchs—Antares, Ashborn, Querehsha, Baran, Legia, Rakan, Yogumunt, and Tarnak—often stayed in your palace as if it were their own. They barely acknowledged you anymore; you never moved.

Ashborn created the System, designed to raise a vessel who could surpass both Monarchs and Rulers—Sung Jinwoo.

But now, Jinwoo was disturbing the balance. And you did not like that.

As Jinwoo continued clearing dungeons alongside Cha Hae-In, Choi Jong-In, Baek Yoonho, Lim Tae-Gyu, and Goto Ryuji, he had no idea what kind of power he was about to face…
