In a world shattered by chaos, mysterious gates began to appear without warning. From within, monstrous creatures gushed out, wreaking havoc and reducing the global population to a fraction of what it once was. Cities crumbled, nations fell, and humanity teetered on the brink of extinction.
But amidst the despair, a miracle emerged-humans began to awaken with magical abilities and combat prowess. They became Hunters, warriors capable of battling the otherworldly horrors. With their newfound powers, humanity pushed back, reclaiming a fragile foothold in the world.
Nureha, however, was no hero. She was an F-rank Hunter, barely strong enough to survive, much less thrive. Ridiculed and overlooked, she lived a life of constant struggle, scraping by at the bottom of the Hunter hierarchy.
Everything changed the day her raid team abandoned her inside a perilous gate. Left to die in a forgotten corner of the dungeon, she stumbled upon something ancient and forbidden-a sealed artifact holding the soul of a primordial entity. When the entity sought to devour her, Nureha's sole skill, Symbiosis, triggered in a desperate bid to survive.
The unthinkable happened: she merged with the primordial being, creating an unstable bond between human and entity. With her newfound powers-frightening, uncontrollable, and awe-inspiring-Nureha began her ascent.
As she climbs the ranks, Nureha finds herself entangled in a brewing war:
Hunters vs. Monsters: The gates grow deadlier, and the monsters more organized. A greater threat looms behind them.
Hunter Politics: Corruption and power struggles among Hunters threaten humanity's fragile unity.
Her Inner Battle: The Nine-Tailed Spirit whispers dark temptations, testing Nureha's willpower and humanity.
The world sees her rise as a beacon of hope, but within, she knows the truth-her power is a ticking time bomb. Will she master her abilities and unite humanity in its darkest hour, or will she become the very monster she fights to destroy?
