It began with sound. Not explosion, not thunder, but something like a tearing, the sky tearing itself above the city, Seoul at 4:00 pm on a festive period, and something peeped through the tearing space, then it fell. The first monster, a creature later classified as a devourer '' f rank '' has landed in Gangnam district and killed four hundred people in twelve minutes. This incident alerted emergency evacuation of the civilians. The military emerges with its weapons, but it passes through them like mist; the weapons used (tanks, firearms, and missiles) could not scratch them. Hope was lost, and Humanity could really end for real.
Until someone from nowhere, though he is learnt the use of a sword as a hobby, fought one of the monsters and killed it in a place where weapons couldn't work and understood that this result of the crack in the sky has allowed them to imbued strange form of mana on an irrelevant object. Min Jae-woo shouted '' if anyone wants to survive, pick any object as a weapon to kill the beasts'', everyone followed the instruction and fought, and the effect showed. Everyone fought for their life depends on it. After days of survival, the hope that was lost gradually came, and the monsters that caused commotion were quenched, and there was victory. Through that, everyone received a message [Welcome, players, you have defeated your enemy, you have leveled up], some received a different class and ranks {some received E to A ranking, while only a few received the S rank.}
MIN JAE-WOO POV
I am Min Jae-woo, a Twenty-three-year-old convenience store part-time worker and a black belt judo master who trained while using a sword as a hobby. It was during the festive period, I had no friends and no family, but when I went out to get something to eat, a sudden event happened. I looked up to the sky and saw a shape of animals pouring, and there was commotion, buildings burning, and missiles exploding. Then I noticed something bad had happened. To protect myself, I ran, picked up my sword as my safety guide, and fought monsters am capable of to vent my anger for my miserable life, and while all this unfair fate had happened to me. While I killed and killed and killed, I received a message saying I had leveled up, and things like crystals fell from those monsters, then I noticed this is like when you kill a monster and receive EXP and loot, just like the games people played. I fought and encouraged people the only way to fight, so my home won't be further destroyed.''
The world did not return to normal; it adapted to a new form of power the incident gave them. Within the weeks of the rupture, the governments across the globe realized a terrifying truth that the crack wasn't only in their country but across all countries. So governments adapted fast and recruited the civilians instead of controlling them, because if they were determined to wipe out the whole earth, they would. Each country formed its own association where the guilds and players are controlled without causing a ruckus.
Min jae-woo due to his huge contribution with no criminal act in his personal data, was appointed as the Korean Awakeners Association chairman. After two years of trying to maintain order and enforce law to the players to avoid internal rogue awakeners and also supporting players to clear each dungeon to avoid dungeon break. not only was the each country building players association but The World Awakener Association was created by the americans to help each countries in need of help in the case it goes out hand in the country.
FIVE YEARS AFTER THE RUPTURE
Yoon ji-Han POV
I am Ji Han, twenty-four years old, and I work as a construction worker to help myself stay away from starving because i wasnt awakened, and most awaken with a good rank are all living well. I hoped so many times to be awakened, but it was a waste. So I gave up all hope and continued working like a low life with no hope left but waiting for death because all my life has always been unfair, from being a child to a rich parent to an orphan and a worker. Nothing has ever gone well for me.
After working during the evening period, Ji-Han was set to go home when a car was speeding while the old woman crossed the road without checking the road guide safety. Ji-Han was shocked and moved with hope of saving the old woman, he ran at a max speed and to his surprise he got there and saved her and started hearing everyone saying ''oh a player''. He checked if he wasn't dreaming and went to the association to check if he truly awakened.
He was guided to the room to be checked, and after the test, his class was ''barrier, " and overall combat capability was 1.1. he was fidgeting, but he couldn't give up because a sign of little hope appeared before him. Then he received a system message different from other awakened systems, which was a divarch system message, while his was an astron system{ ruler of celestial bodies}, but he didn't know it was different, and continued moving for higher growth.
