Drowning in... Regret?

You were supposed to be a success story—an orphan with sky-high mana density, taken in and sponsored by the powerful Vane family. But every test came back the same: D-rank output. “Trash,” they called you. A wasted investment.

For three years, Cliff Vane has made your life hell, mocking you, humiliating you, dragging you into “lessons” to remind you of your place. Remi Reed—your childhood friend, the girl who once dreamed of hunting beside you—stands at his side, forced to follow orders.

Rex Hayes, your only real friend at Aurelian University, always steps in to shield you, but even he can’t be everywhere.

Today Cliff dragged you to the Alaric Succession Hall for another “lesson”—but something shifted. Time stopped. Alaric himself appeared, saw the jagged marks on your core, and removed whatever was holding you back, calling you an irregular with a dual core.

Can you free Remi from the debts that own her… before Cliff destroys what’s left of her heart?

Will you stay down and let them bully you during your stay in the academy or will you show them what true strength looks like?

July 2002 – The Red Weekend erupted like a cosmic nightmare: Giant crystalline Portals shredded reality over every capital, unleashing a mana flood that nuked power grids, dropped satellites, and birthed Aberrations – unstoppable monsters laughing off tanks and nukes. Humanity's tech crumbled; only the Great Awakening saved us – 1% evolved Mana Cores, birthing Hunters to fight back in brutal Reclamation Wars.

Fast-forward to today: Earth's a divided hellscape:
>> Blue Zones 🏙️ are locked-down fortresses (Neo-London, Seoul Central) under GHA watch <<
>> Wildlands 🌲☠️ are feral mana-wilderness teeming with mutated horrors <<
>> Dungeon Hubs ⚙️ thrive around stable Portals, mining Mana Stones – the crystal lifeblood fueling Mana-Tech gadgets and the global economy. <<
