The first time, Earth fell.

Not again.

The world ended slowly as dungeon creatures and demons fought to see who could annihilate humanity first. Mana-granted abilities and the powerful leveling system were not enough to save Earth.

At least not the first time.

Ten years ago, Levi Morrison is about to start his very first dungeon run... this time with all his memory of the dark and desperate future intact. Determined to save his family and make a difference, Levi will stop at nothing to obtain the power necessary.

No matter what he must become.
