episode 1

Four hundred years ago, mysterious towers called Dungeons appeared across the world. Filled with monsters, traps, treasures, ancient ruins, powerful bosses, and Dungeon Cores, they changed humanity forever. Some humans awakened supernatural abilities and became known as Awakened. In the modern world, Awakened people receive different classes such as Swordsman, Mage, Healer, Assassin, Tank, Berserker, and Summoner. Their strength is measured from F-Rank to S-Rank, with each rank divided into nine tiers. Seventeen-year-old Kai Kurokawa is a brilliant academy student from a loving family. He dreams of becoming one of the world's strongest Awakened. During his Awakening Ceremony, Kai approaches the massive Awakening Crystal. When he places his hand on it, nothing happens. Then the entire sky suddenly turns black, and the crystal changes. A result finally appears: MAGE — F-RANK. Kai is shocked. An F-Rank Mage is considered one of the weakest outcomes. His dreams seem to collapse, and his girlfriend eventually leaves him for a wealthy student who awakens as a powerful Berserker. But Kai refuses to give up. Determined to become stronger, he begins training. That night, his grandfather gives him an ancient black book bearing a terrifying mask. Nobody knows what the book truly is. When Kai opens it, the mysterious pages begin to reveal signs of something far beyond ordinary magic. The secret behind Kai's strange awakening has only just begun to emerge. His journey starts here.
