Kael used to be part of the “Special Army” that defended the world against “monsters.” Fourteen years ago, unknown portals that looked like black holes started to appear all around the world. After the first monster attack, humans gained extraordinary powers. Having learned their lesson, they went and attacked the monsters first before they could strike.

Kael was part of the first group of “Extraordinary Humans,” who later called themselves the “Special Army.” He spent the next seven years fighting for peace. He also found the meaning of his life when the person he secretly loved also loved him back.

Everything was going well… until they entered an S-Class Dungeon and his special ability was revealed to everyone. A gift of immortality, also known as “Athanasia.”

He never could have guessed that his lover, the very person who gave meaning to his life, would be the same person who would take it from him. His lover killed his comrades in front of him one by one, demanding the gift. Kael gave it up willingly, but his lover still killed him in the end.

Just when his lover thought he had died, Kael miraculously survived. Seven years later, his lover became the leader of the biggest and most influential guild in the world. Kael planned to live his life in hiding and live peacefully. But he never could have thought that his ex-lover was still obsessed with the “gift,” going as far as hunting each of Kael’s relatives and friends just to get his hands on the “elixir.”

Now, Kael is bent on exacting revenge and stopping this monster from being loose. He will do whatever it takes. He can go as far as getting close to his ex-lover’s younger brother and using him for revenge.

"There were no missions or game-like settings. The only condition is to kill 10,000 humans if you want to pass. But they weren't exactly humans. They're more like dead puppets. You can't kill them if you only stab, break their limbs or behead them. In each specific area, you have to find the puppeteer who controlled the dead bodies for you to clear it. Luckily, killing the puppeteer will also kill the dead humans they control. And they also add up to the total body count that you kill."


"So you were inside the realm of the god of Death."


"What did you say?" Ezekiel was confused. Not only him, but everyone was looking at him with the same bewildered expression.


The question of 'Did you meet him?' got stuck in Kael's throat. Judging by Ezekiel's expression, he never met the ruler of the realm he went into.


"The rare dungeon we call now are actually 'realms' of the gods."


"Where did you get this information?" Ezekiel pressed on.
