Prologue

Deep within the cosmic expanse, where stars glimmered and galaxies danced in celestial harmony, a gathering of ethereal beings stood in a realm beyond mortal comprehension. They were the overseers of the universe, guardians of balance and harmony. Their forms shimmered with iridescent light, emanating a sense of ancient wisdom.

"We're running out of time! We need more," exclaimed one of the overseers urgently, his voice resonating like a cosmic symphony. Worry etched deep within his celestial visage, as he surveyed the countless threads of destiny unraveled before him.

His fellow overseers nodded in agreement, their luminous eyes filled with determination.

One of the overseers swiftly conjured a bucket brimming with a viscous, shimmering liquid known as mana. It radiated with raw, untamed power, representing the life force of creation itself. The overseer carefully selected tiny seeds, each containing the essence of potential, and gently placed them into the bucket.

With deft movements, he mixed the seeds and mana together, the swirling concoction releasing a gentle hum that resonated with the fabric of reality. The overseer's grip tightened, his determination unwavering. In an instant, he unleashed his power, propelling the mixture forward with breathtaking speed, hurtling it across the vastness of the universe.

Coincidentally, as if guided by unseen forces, the mixture found its destination amidst the vast tapestry of the Milky Way galaxy. It splashed onto a small, blue planet suspended in the abyss of space, Earth, where its potential quickly awakened.

As the fateful mixture of mana and seeds contacted Earth, its impact reverberated across the globe. Unbeknownst to humanity, a phenomenon was set into motion, unfolding in cities, towns, and remote corners of the planet. Large archways, seemingly conjured from thin air, materialized in various locations, marking the entrances to massive dungeons that were hidden in the fabric of the universe, defying all known science.

These dungeons, mysterious and foreboding, held secrets and dangers beyond imagination. Each dungeon possessed its own unique characteristics, housing a wide array of mythological creatures and supernatural entities that had long been confined to the realm of legends. From towering minotaurs to elusive sirens, the dungeons became veritable breeding grounds for creatures of both beauty and monstrosity.

However, this surge of supernatural occurrences was not met with despair alone. Alongside the emergence of dungeons, a select number of individuals, who would come to be known as "Hunters," began to manifest extraordinary abilities. These newfound powers varied greatly from person to person, reflecting their individuality and inner potential. Some individuals developed the ability to manipulate elements, conjuring fire or controlling water with a mere thought. Others gained superhuman strength, enabling them to lift massive objects or deliver devastating blows with ease. Some even awakened latent psychic abilities, granting them telekinetic control or the power to read minds.

As news of these awakened individuals and the dungeons spread, humanity faced a global crisis of unprecedented magnitude. Governments and organizations scrambled to understand the nature of these dungeons and the awakened powers, seeking ways to harness these newfound abilities for the greater good. Training facilities were established to guide and train the awakened individuals, allowing them to understand and control their powers effectively.

Combatting this global crisis became the primary goal for humanity. The awakened individuals, driven by a sense of duty and the desire to protect their loved ones, formed specialized teams and organizations dedicated to exploring the dungeons, eradicating the supernatural threats within, and closing the archways that acted as portals to these otherworldly realms.

These teams, comprised of individuals with diverse abilities and backgrounds, worked tirelessly to uncover the secrets of the dungeons and develop strategies to neutralize the creatures within. They faced numerous challenges and perilous encounters, battling not only the mythological creatures but also the treacherous environments and traps within the dungeons.

As the conflict escalated, the awakened individuals honed their skills, pushing the boundaries of their abilities and unlocking hidden potential. They exchanged knowledge and techniques, forming tight-knit communities that shared a common purpose. These communities served as support networks, providing training grounds, research facilities, and safe havens for the awakened to strategize and strengthen their abilities.

In this global crisis, where humanity's fate hung in the balance, alliances were forged, rivalries ignited, and sacrifices made. The awakened individuals became the forefront of the battle against the supernatural, using their unique abilities to defend their world from the encroaching darkness.

Little did the overseers know that this fateful act would set in motion a series of events that would shape the destiny of countless beings. A mortal, destined to become the catalyst of change, unknowingly awaited his awakening. The threads of his fate were intricately woven into the fabric of the cosmos, and soon, he would step into the light, embarking on a journey that would redefine the very nature of existence itself.
