With the descent of the Demon Monarchs, humanity was pushed to the brink of total annihilation by the demons of the underworld and their disciples. But with the manifestation of the Divine System, those chosen by the divine beings rose up to save humanity.

At the age of sixteen, teenagers awaken their systems and abilities—each granted a class suited to them—allowing them to battle the creatures of darkness and protect their world from the abyss.

Michael was the son of a poor family and, even after reaching the required age, he didn’t awaken his system.

One day, he was bullied and beaten nearly to death.

At the brink of death, as the light faded from his eyes and his vision blurred, his system finally awakened.

[The Divine System has awakened]
[Awakening begins...]
[Awakening successful]
[Class: Shadow Monarch]
[Affinity: Divine Shadow & Lightning]
[Innate Talent: Lineage of the Shadow God]

That was what he saw before passing out.

The boy who was once mocked and humiliated now carries the lineage of a forgotten god.

But… was he the only one?

His mind kept replaying that match, each and every part of it. Legacies are totally built different, each of the skills they used for attacks were refined and perfected.
