Five hundred years ago, the world experienced an unimaginable catastrophe.
A colossal rift appeared in the sky, stretching wide with flashes of dark energy beyond explanation. From that massive fracture, ferocious monsters and terrifying demons suddenly emerged. These creatures rampaged across cities, slaughtering humans mercilessly, turning the world into a bloody hell.
Human resistance at the time seemed futile. Conventional weapons were powerless against the monstrous beings that had appeared. Despair was all that remained—until a miracle occurred. From the destruction and suffering, some humans began to manifest unprecedented powers. They could control the elements, enhance their physical abilities to fight the monsters, and even wield magic rivaling that of the demons themselves. They became known as Hunters.
With their newfound strength, the Hunters led humanity's counterattack. They waged a long war against the darkness, gradually sealing the rift in the sky until it finally disappeared. The world, once on the brink of annihilation, slowly began to recover—but it was no longer the same.
As time passed, the role of Hunters evolved. From mere warriors fighting against the darkness, they became the pillars of a new civilization. Various Hunter Guilds were established—organizations dedicated to overseeing those with supernatural abilities. They became the frontline defense against lingering threats from the rift while also maintaining order and balance in the world.
Now, five hundred years after that era of destruction, the world has changed drastically. Towering cities have risen, powered by technology that blends magic, science, and energy extracted from the dimensional rift. Powerful guilds dominate civilization, controlling politics, economics, and global security. Every child born is tested for Hunter potential, and those with talent are trained in specialized academies to hone their abilities.
Hunters are categorized into different classes based on their unique skills:
Elementalist: Masters of elemental forces such as fire, water, earth, and wind.
Swordsman: Close-combat specialists wielding various sword techniques.
Gunslinger: Users of firearms infused with magical energy.
Summoner: Summoners of magical creatures from other dimensions to aid in battle.
Guardian: Tank-class warriors with incredible defense capable of enduring heavy attacks.
Assassin: Stealthy killers relying on speed and deception.
Tactician: Strategic supporters who enhance their team with buffs and battle tactics.
In this era, several powerful nations lead the world, each possessing unique strengths and specialties:
Zephyria – The center of civilization and technology, where magic and science intertwine. Known as the land of the greatest Gunslingers and Tacticians.
Volgrath – The strongest military nation, producing elite Swordsmen and Guardians.
Tenryu – A land renowned for its most powerful Elementalists and Summoners, serving as guardians of the world's balance.
Indraterra – An island nation rich in magical resources, home to Assassins and Swordsmen with unique combat styles.
Albiorix – A mysterious region believed to have ties to the vanished sky rift, birthplace of some of the most enigmatic Summoners and Tacticians.
However, even though the rift in the sky has vanished, darkness still lurks. Powerful monsters continue to roam forbidden territories, and whispers spread of even greater demons preparing to return.
In this ever-evolving world, a young man with an unprecedented power is about to emerge—one who will bring monumental change to the fate of Hunters and the world they protect.
Evan, the Limitless Blade Warrior
Amidst the bustling world ruled by Hunters and powerful guilds, a young man named Evan Castrelle lived. Unlike those born with extraordinary talent, Evan was just an ordinary worker struggling to support himself and his younger sister, Lilia Castrelle.
Evan was 18 years old, while Lilia was only 11. They had only each other after losing their parents in a Dimensional Rift Rank D incident a few years ago. While a minor rift was not a major threat to Hunters, it was more than enough to take his family away in an instant.
Since then, Evan had vowed to work hard to ensure Lilia could have a better life. But in a world dominated by power and magic, life for an ordinary human like him was full of challenges. He struggled through the harshness of modern city life, unaware that fate had something far greater in store for him.
Dimensional Rift Rank F
That evening, Evan was on his way to pick up Lilia from school. A light drizzle fell, wetting the streets of Indraterra, illuminated by holographic lights. Holding an umbrella in hand, he waited in front of the school gate, scanning his surroundings.
Moments later, Lilia ran out of the gate with a bright smile.
"Big Brother!"
Evan smiled and ruffled her hair.
"Let's go home."
However, just as they started walking, the sky trembled. A cracking sound echoed through the air, and before them, a Dimensional Rift Rank F suddenly opened. A fanged monster with a dark purple body—Shadow Fang—leaped out, its blood-red eyes glowing menacingly.
The crowd erupted into panic. People fled in all directions, and Evan instinctively pulled Lilia behind him. His hands trembled—he had no weapon, no power. He was just an ordinary human.
Shadow Fang growled and lunged. Evan could do nothing but push Lilia away as the creature's razor-sharp claws tore through his chest.
"Brother!!" Lilia screamed.
Blood poured, and searing pain surged through Evan's body. His breathing grew ragged, his vision blurred. In his final moments, when death felt inevitable, an unfamiliar voice echoed in his mind:
[Limitless Blade System Activated]
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the Limitless Blade System]
[Initial Quest: Defeat Shadow Fang (0/1)]
Evan's eyes widened as a translucent screen appeared before him, displaying information he had never seen before. As he took a step forward, his body felt lighter, and an unknown instinct for battle awakened within him.
Shadow Fang lunged again, its claws aimed straight at Evan's head. But this time, Evan moved swiftly—his body sidestepped with an agility he had never possessed before.
"What is this…? I can see its movements!"
A transparent sword materialized in his hands. Without hesitation, he swung it.
Swish!
A sharp slash cut through the air, and in an instant, Shadow Fang's head was severed from its body.
[Quest Complete! EXP +100]
As the monster's body dissolved into particles of light, Evan stood frozen, realizing one undeniable truth:
His life had just changed forever.
