The balance of the world collapsed when portals opened up to different worlds. Humans were granted systems to hunt the beasts in the Otherworlds. These beasts could give the Hunters their Codes, granting them special abilities and weapons.

"What are you doing, Chen?!" Jack growled. He approached the man who was still under Allen, his eyes raging with anger. "You don't know what you've done."

Chen's face softened. He looked at Jack who had nothing but misery in his eyes. The feeling of regret and resentment was evident in the old man's face as tears slowly crawled down his cheek.

"W-What are you…" Chen paused and looked away, seemingly to avoid the old man's gaze. "It's too late now anyway. The Fire Dragon's servants will come and we'll all die."
