Year - 2230.It all began in 2230...Portals of unknown origins appeared worldwide, known as "Crypt,"each connected to myths and legends. This was believed to be from the power hidden in historical stories. The danger came from powerful artifacts inside. Claiming these artifacts brought wealth and abilities, changing lives and the world. People gained mythical powers, rising in rank. It became a world where anyone could rise with the right artifact. However, by 2250, hope turned into a nightmare. The world split into those with artifacts and those without. Emperors, with the strongest artifacts, ruled with absolute power. Governments couldn't oppose them, rewriting laws to keep the powerless trapped in poverty as modern-day slaves. Mason, stuck in the lower class, had to serve an Emperor for escape. He worked for Depay Husk, promised help in return for loyalty. Mason did everything for Depay, even risking his life, but it was all a lie.But it had all been a lie.Mason stumbled throu

Mister Depay had been one of the first to claim a Legendary-Grade Mythic Item during the early stages of the Crypt outbreaks. That alone had made him untouchable, but now Mason had a chance to change all of that.‘I need to move faster than that bastard,’ Mason thought, his mind racing.The best plan would be to prevent Mister Depay from getting his hands on the item in the first place. If Mason could reach it before him, it would change everything.He clenched his teeth, a ghost of the pain from his past life—where his limbs had been cut off—still haunting him. The memory wasn’t just painful; it was a reminder of the hellish existence he had endured.‘This isn't just about revenge,’ Mason reminded himself. ‘I need to avoid repeating that life.’His resolve solidified. With one last glance at the police station, he turned and started to leave. Time was short, and now that he had returned to the past, there were a thousand things to do.‘First... Europe,’ he thought. The most profitabl

Vizas had a reputation for being a brawler. In contrast, Mason had always been the quiet one, not even a real thug. Despite holding a knife, no one expected him to be able to handle a seasoned street fighter.“Quit acting tough!” Vizas shouted, raising the brick.But then something strange happened. Mason’s hand, the one holding the knife, seemed to blur, almost disappear.Vizas froze, confusion clouding his face, just before a sharp, burning pain erupted from his side.“Aaaah! You bastard!” Vizas screamed, collapsing to the ground, clutching his bleeding side.“Boss!” his men shouted, rushing to his aid.Vizas writhed in agony, his mind racing. This was no ordinary knife fight. The Mason he knew had been scared of blood, weak, and passive. Now he fought like a maniac, his movements precise and merciless.‘This isn’t just some martial arts trick… what the hell happened to him?’Mason approached, twirling the knife in his hand. The men panicked, backing away as he got closer.“Stay bac

The complex that should have been there was nowhere in sight. Instead, a large, round hill rose before Mason, resembling an enormous Crypt.‘That’s definitely a Crypt.’But a Crypt appearing at his home?As he tried to piece together what happened, a memory surfaced. His roommate had called him earlier, panicked because their apartment had vanished while Mason was stuck working for those thugs.At the time, he dismissed it, thinking the Crypt would disappear soon. But if a Crypt had vanished...‘Does that mean someone cleared it?’Determined not to let this opportunity slip away, Mason pressed on. As he approached the site, he heard raised voices.‘It’s definitely around there.’When he arrived at the chaos, he found about a hundred people engaged in a brawl.“Who are you to ignore me? Huh? Are you some kind of cash machine?”“Hey! Don’t look down on us guards! Who are you to fire us?!”“Let go of me!”“Who stole my backpack?!”The crowd was out of control, with cops and soldiers stru

The underground passage shook as Mason touched something in the darkness. The tremors started around him and quickly moved down the corridor.Mai and Yuri, just entering through the entrance, exchanged shocked glances.“What is that noise?”Mai sensed danger and quickly switched on her flashlight. The beam revealed a cave that looked like a giant serpent had slithered through.There were various paths branching off. She recognized that these passages formed due to the Crypt's emergence. There were no stalactites; this wasn’t a natural cave.Yuri, feeling tense, suddenly laughed.“Damn, the sound of water in the distance reminds me of a water park…”But then their expressions shifted.‘Wait. The sound of water?’What began as a gentle trickle now roared like a waterfall.“What the hell is this?!”Mai and Yuri screamed as the noise intensified. A massive wave charged toward them.“What is that?!”Pale and panicked, they ran, but no one could outrun nature. Their screams echoed as the wa
