Arthur was a weak and cowardly boy who lacked the power to protect anyone—a truth brutally demonstrated when his parents were massacred while defending him during a Gate outbreak. As the sole survivor, Arthur spent weeks believing his life was over. When intense chest pains began, he assumed he'd been infected with corruption by the void creature that killed his parents and was merely waiting for death.
What Arthur didn't expect was that these sensations actually signaled his Realm Core forming. In two months' time, he would be forcefully transported to the next realm and awaken new powers, becoming one of the world-renowned "Chosen" who protect humanity from Gate outbreaks. Now Arthur must rise through the heights of power, climbing each of the seven realms in hopes of saving his world... or does he?

The fluorescent lights of the restaurant cast a warm, welcoming glow over the checkered tablecloth as Arthur and Aziel found themselves seated across from each other, their eyes wide with anticipation. The familiar aroma of grilled beef and crispy golden fries filled the air around them, a stark contrast to the harsh, unforgiving atmosphere they had grown accustomed to in recent months. Before them sat meals that looked almost too good to be true—thick, juicy burgers with fresh lettuce and tomatoes peeking out from between soft sesame seed buns, accompanied by heaping portions of perfectly seasoned French fries that glistened under the restaurant's lighting.
