Episode 1: From Nothing
In the slums of Darkveil City, 15-year-old Kai Ren lived with his sick mother and crippled father. They were once normal—his father a low-tier miner, his mother a florist—but a mining accident took his father's legs, and debts crushed their lives. Now, Kai worked day and night just to afford bread.
Monsters, dungeons, and hunters had changed the world. Only the strong thrived. The government ran the Hunter Academy, where awakened individuals could train and earn ranks from G to SSS. But awakenings were rare. And power? Even rarer for the poor.
Kai had only one dream—to awaken, become a hunter, and give his parents the life they deserved.
