A Story of Darkness and Despair
The Curse of the Abyss
Every century, a catastrophic event reshapes the continent. The Abyss, an all-consuming vortex of destruction, returns to unleash its deadly curse. A warlock, driven by an insatiable thirst for power, has harnessed the Abyss's dark forces, plunging the world into an era of despair and annihilation.
For generations, noble kings have carried the sacred power to seal the Abyss and stave off its deadly grasp. However, with the current king mysteriously vanishing, the world teeters on the brink of ruin. Death encroaches upon every corner, leaving nothing but hopelessness and desolation in its wake.
Resistance seems futile. Survival appears impossible. Yet, a glimmer of hope persists for those willing to step into the depths of the unknown.
