Gateborn

One day, they simply appeared-rips in reality, yawning maws to something ancient and violent.

The world called them Gates. Portals that led to impossible dungeons, crawling with monsters that should not exist. When left untouched, these Gates tore themselves open-unleashing chaos in waves called dungeon stampedes.

Then came the Gateborn-humans awakened by trauma, chosen by a mysterious System. Gifted powers that defied logic, they were the only ones who could enter the Gates, survive, and conquer.

The first Gate cracked open in the heart of the Philippines. Alongside it appeared a nameless man in a black windbreaker stitched with an outdated SCP logo. He said little, instructed many, and vanished-becoming legend.

As society collapsed and reformed around mana-based technology, black markets, cults, and warring ideologies rose from the ashes. Governments lost control. Guilds became the new power.

In this fractured world, where power is born of suffering and salvation walks in shadow, one thing is certain:

The Gates changed everything. And they're not done yet.
