Dawn of The Apocalypse: The Ultimate Fantasy

Set is a 22-year-old man trapped in a mundane life on Earth—working, sleeping, eating, nothing more or less. Growing up as an orphan, he escaped into novels and anime, obsessed with fantasy. But five years ago in 2020, everything changed: the sky split open, a pale light flashed across the world, and mana flooded the atmosphere. Weeks later, random gates and dungeons began forming in cities. Not everyone awakened to mana’s power—it chose people at random. Yet society adapted: experiments revealed that anyone could force an awakening using cores harvested from monsters inside the gates. The catch? Cores were absurdly expensive, accessible only to the rich. This injustice burned in Set. Abandoning his novels, he toiled endlessly, working every hour until he scraped together enough to buy a single core—and claim his destiny.
