[Survival + Level up + Apocalyptic Settings + Ether magic + Eldritch beings]
The world changed forever three years ago when the first Gate appeared.
The Gates brought the world to their first contact with Ether, a strange energy that rewrote the rules of the world.
Ether became the key to survival, granting strange powers to some while driving others to insanity.
[The Gateway to the Wilderness is about to open. Contestants, please proceed to the teleportation zone and prepare yourselves.]
This was not a game for enjoyment. It was a death game, where only the strong, or the merciless, could survive.
