The world shattered two centuries ago. When reality fractured, an unknown force tore open the fabric of existence. Beasts poured through the cracks, and humanity was driven behind walls to survive. From that chaos rose the seven cities — the Cradle — humanity’s last bastion against extinction. But survival came at a cost. An infection spread. The Unraveling — born from beyond the fractures — forced humanity to awaken through deadly Trials, pushing them to unlock their potential or be consumed. To uncover the truth behind their annihilation, humans now venture deeper into distant realms, chasing answers hidden behind the veil of reality itself. But the farther they descend, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Ren was never meant to be part of this world. Born Insignificant at the bottom of the slums, he faced a life of death and decay. But the Unraveling had other plans. When the call of the Trial reached him, his destiny changed forever. Now thrown in a world where failure means erasure --- Ren must endure the Trial, and descend the realms that fractured the universe. Descending the depths of reality, what truth will Ren discover about the world?
