**The Abyss Reborn** - *Synopsis*

Darren Kim is an F-Rank Hunter—weak, mocked, and struggling to survive in a world dominated by powerful Awakened warriors. For three years, he's been stuck at the bottom, barely scraping by with his nearly useless ability, "Sense Danger." Constant failures have left him a joke among other hunters, and his self-worth is in shambles.

But everything changes during a routine dungeon raid when Darren faces certain death at the hands of a monstrous creature. At that moment, something deep within him awakens—an ancient and forbidden power from the Abyss. With it comes a surge of dark energy that allows Darren to defeat the seemingly invincible foe, shocking the other hunters who had written him off as weak.

Now wielding the power of the Abyss, Darren finds himself walking a dangerous path. The System warns him of a creeping corruption within him, tied to his new abilities. The more he uses this power, the deeper it pulls him into the darkness, threatening to consume him entirely. 

As Darren struggles to control his newfound strength, he becomes hunted—not only by monsters but also by those who fear the mysterious and dangerous power he now wields. Along the way, he must uncover the truth behind the Abyss and its connection to his Awakening, all while fighting to keep the corruption from devouring his soul.

But Darren quickly learns that true power never comes without a price. Can he master the shadows without losing himself to the darkness, or will the Abyss claim him as its own?

In this tale of redemption and survival, Darren must rise from the lowest ranks to challenge a world where strength is everything, and only those who embrace the darkness can hope to survive.
