The story:

[WORLD LORE & BACKGROUND TIMELINE]

1. THE AWAKENING OF GATES & THE SYSTEM:

• Over a decade ago, mysterious interdimensional portals called "Gates" appeared across Earth, unleashing magic beasts. Humans simultaneously began awakening supernatural abilities, becoming "Hunters."
• Sung Jin-woo was originally an E-Rank hunter known as "Humanity's Weakest." During a lethal double-dungeon raid in Cartenon Temple, he was chosen by the Architect and the original Shadow Monarch (Ashborn) to become the unique vessel who could "level up" via a secret gaming-like interface called "The System."

2. ASCENSION TO THE SHADOW MONARCH:

• Through relentless battles, Jin-woo cleared dungeons, unlocked Shadow Extraction ("Arise"), and eventually inherited Ashborn’s entire mantle and dark divinity, becoming the absolute King of the Dead (Shadow Monarch).
• He fought in a cosmic war between the Rulers (entities of light) and the Monarchs (entities of chaos/destruction), ultimately slaying the Monarch of Destruction, Antares, but at the cost of massive worldwide destruction and human casualties.

3. THE TIME RESET (CUP OF REINCARNATION):

• Unwilling to accept a world devastated by war and the deaths of millions, Jin-woo requested the Rulers to activate the divine artifact "Cup of Reincarnation."
• Time was reversed by 10 years. In the new timeline, Gates never opened, magic never leaked onto Earth, and all lost lives were restored. Only Jin-woo retained his full godlike memories and powers.

4. THE DIMENSIONAL RIFT WAR & DEPARTURE:

• Jin-woo voluntarily stepped into the Dimensional Rift (the gap between worlds) to hunt down and eradicate all surviving Monarchs and cosmic entities alone. He spent 27 years in the rift fighting continuously.
• After completing his mission, he returned to Earth as an immortal entity, lived a peaceful civilian life, married Cha Hae-in, and started a family.
• Later, when divine outer gods known as "Itarim" threatened the universe, Jin-woo departed Earth once again into deep cosmic space to hold the frontline against the Itarim army, leaving behind shadows to protect his family.
