Countless years ago, humanity discovered a solution to its dwindling resource crisis by traveling to other realities. Standing out amongst these was a reality where life operated similarly to an adventure game. To those living within this world, age and talents were replaced with levels and perks, with many living several generations beyond their normal lifespan. Many, however, seek their fortune in a cycled event within a manmade dungeon known as The Delve, which opens for a season of hunting during a ceremony called "The Rite of Champions", with hundreds of freelance adventurers traveling down alongside several sponsored teams all with the goal of battling monsters to retrieve rare materials for the lucrative manufacturing industry on the surface. Of these freelancers and sponsored warriors, less than half return, and amongst those that do very few maintain a semblance of their past selves, often paving the way for future season in their blood.
The stories of these adventurers are often coated in blood and sorrow but are long forgotten by those above. The same can be said about the three adventurers who traveled into The Delve one season, each with a goal as insane as the last. Will their search be successful? Will they face terrors? Will anyone find them?
