The oath of the abyss
Oath of the Abyss – Synopsis
Ten thousand years ago, rifts tore open across the sky, spilling endless beasts from worlds unknown. Humanity’s weapons shattered like toys before the invaders. When all hope seemed lost, beings from the heavens descended and gifted humankind the Stone of Heaven — a relic that awakens hidden power within the soul.
Centuries later, the world thrives on Hunters — awakened warriors ranked from F to SSS. They explore dungeons, slay monsters, and protect the balance between realms.
But not all awakenings are equal.
Jim Sung, an E-rank carrier, is the weakest among them — mocked, ignored, and left behind. That is, until an S-rank dungeon wipes out his entire raid team and brings him face-to-face with the Abyssal Monarch, a being older than time itself.
Offered three wishes, Jim asks for:
1. A weapon that can transform into any form.
2. Power to regenerate by devouring his enemies.
3. A chance to return ten years into the past.
The Monarch grants his wishes… but seals an Oath:
“In ten years, you will return to this place.
Defeat me — or watch your world fall into the Abyss.”
Reborn sixteen again, smarter, stronger, and colder than before, Jim Sung hides his identity and begins his ascent. He devours monsters to grow, steals the power of future villains, and prepares for the inevitable battle against the being who made him.
Because this time, the world won’t forget his name.
“I made an oath to the Abyss — and I’ll keep it, even if I become its king.”
