Story
Once every 100 years, the Abyss opens.

It is a curse of death that consumes the continent. A Warlock who coveted Death, devoured people and animals and enveloped the world in despair.

For thousands of years the line of kings has sealed the Abyss.

But now, the king has vanished, and the world is being consumed by death, moment by moment.

Resistance itself is meaningless. There is naught but to perish.
