Once all people received Souls and incredible powers. Some were lucky enough to obtain the Soul of an ancient and powerful creature, but fate was not favorable to all. The world began to change, and creatures evolved. But, it was not the beginning of a new era. It was the end. A couple of months later, a dark mist appeared and destroyed the world. It was a dictate of destiny from which no one could escape. Wain Norheim was the world's best assassin and the only one who didn't get a soul. However, he was destined to gain the power to confront fate. Escaping through a portal into another world, he unknowingly began the apocalypse. Even the world failed to expel him.
After saying goodbye to Eva, Wain headed into the woods behind the main base and found Forgotten. He was sitting huddled against a tree, pondering something.
"Good to see you." Forgotten said, looking at Wain.
"Me too. I need your help."
"Of course." Forgotten nodded and stood up, "What is required of me?"
"I want to upgrade my Void rank, all the conditions have already been met, but I'm worried that we can't do it without you."
"I see. You will be attacked by a Second Chronicle Void and possibly one rank higher than yours. I will help you, but my goal will be to guard the portal from the invaders, not to capture the enemy Void. I can't defeat several thousand Second Chronicle creatures without serious injury, and I don't need to, so I'll stay put."
"No problem, I don't need more than that." Wain uttered, and his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly.
They entered a dimensional passage and found themselves in an ice cave.
