Synopsis
"When fate gives you a second chance… the price is always more blood." From the moment he could dream, he longed to conquer the world — to rise as the Lord of the Sword, the master before whom kingdoms and realms would kneel. But fate was cruel. Abandoned at birth by family, forsaken even by the heavens, he was cast into a merciless world. His path was carved in blood, shadowed by pain and betrayal. And when victory finally seemed within reach, he fell — defeated by the ruler of the Abyss in a battle that shattered worlds and scorched the fabric of history itself. Yet death denied him. A relic of unfathomable power granted him one final chance — to return to the moment before his fall. Now, standing at the crossroads of time, he faces the question that will shape all worlds: Will he rewrite destiny and protect those he once lost? Or will the darkness that claimed him rise anew?

Chapter 1 - World File: Montemore (The History of Fall and Rise)

The Ancient Era – The Glory of Humanity

In the dawn of time, mankind saw itself as the pinnacle of all living beings—rulers of the earth, perched at the summit of the food chain,building kingdoms and empires upon the ruins of one another.

Wars never ceased.Blood was shed for land, gold, and glory,until conflict itself became the essence of existence.

And while humanity believed it had conquered the world,the earth was merely preparing to remind them of their fragile truth.

The First Catastrophe – The Convergence Phenomenon

The first calamity came as a storm of chaos.Two worlds merged in a single moment, giving birth to a new, vaster realm—continents collided, the skies transformed,and lands unseen by any mortal eye emerged.

Nature changed.Creatures evolved.Disasters ignited.The seas raged endlessly, severing routes of travel and communication.

In this new reality,humans were no longer the masters of the world—but its prey.

The Rise of the Awakened

Amid despair, the impossible occurred.It was discovered that some youths, upon reaching the age of fifteen,could open the Status Window —a mystical interface that revealed their attributes and abilities,granting them command over a mysterious force known as Mana.

Thus began a new age.

Human leaders gathered these youths,training them to become the First Generation of Awakened —humanity's final hope for survival.

With time, the Awakened learned to harness mana—to wield magic, command nature, and bend the elements to their will.They became living weapons capable of turning the tide of war.

The Age of Human Division

But humanity… never learns.

Nations once again divided.Some worshipped the Awakened as gods,while others feared and sought to destroy them.

Kings exploited their power,raising them as tools of war,and executing any who dared to rebel.

Thus began an era of fear and blood—veiled beneath banners of glory and strength.

The First Encounter with Other Realms

Just as the world began to regain balance,fleets appeared along the shores of the continents.

They were ships from other worlds —bearing elves, dwarves, beastkin, vampires, dragons,and even humans from distant lands.

They came under the banner of peace.But upon witnessing humanity's weakness and ignorance of mana,peace turned to greed—and greed to conquest.

Kingdoms fell one after another.Gifted Awakened were abducted.Some nations betrayed their own kind,allying with invaders in exchange for protection.

The Union of Worlds – The Age of Montemore

The wars raged for decades.Yet through conflict came exchange, and through exchange — unity.

A new dawn rose over a unified world: Montemore.

Under one banner, a new system of strength was born —the Rank Classification of the Awakened:

G – F – E – D – C – B – A – S – SS – SSS(Each rank divided into three stages: e.g., G-, G, G+.)

The higher the rank, the faster one's evolution —but each step toward the summit became increasingly perilous.

With peace treaties signed,a new age began — The Age of the New World,an era of prosperity unseen since the dawn of history.

The Second Catastrophe – The Collision Phenomenon

But peace never lasts.

After mere centuries, massive cracks split the skies and the earth—gateways linking Montemore to a darker realm: The Demon World.

Thus began the Collision Phenomenon.

The demons were not beings of negotiation.They came proud, declaring war on all life.They possessed a unique power — the Demonic Contracts —binding mortals in exchange for strength beyond body and soul.

And so, traitors rose from every race,offering loyalty to the darkness for power.

The War of the Two Worlds

The Great War erupted —a clash between worlds.

Humans, elves, dragons, vampires, dwarves, and beastkin unitedagainst the tide of demons.

It was a war of unimaginable scale —a tapestry of valor and horror intertwined.

When the final battle ended,after countless sacrifices,the fighting ceased.

But the world was forever changed.

The Era of Temporary Peace

As the smoke faded and heroes vanished into legend,the survivors began to rebuild.New treaties were signed.A fragile calm settled upon Montemore —the Era of Temporary Peace.

Yet beneath the silence,the cracks still whisper.The mana trembles.And the world seems to hold its breath—awaiting a third catastrophe yet to be written.
