## System

On January 1st, 2019, the world changed.

Gates, monsters, system, players.

These new concepts sprang up from nowhere.

And a dimensional elevator was unlocked in the Pacific area to go up to the second floor.

The max level in the [Frontier Area] will be raised from 80 to 120.

Players had to be at least level 100 to go up to the third floor.

Player level cap of 210.

### 5th Floor [Neo City]

Trium's minimum Player level for entry is 200.

### 7th Floor [Frontier-23]

After clearing the 7th Floor the player cap went from 400 to 450.

## Gates

Mysterious blue portals that were connected to unknown worlds.

Riddled with traps and monsters, you could trust nothing inside a gate.

It is impossible to know where or when gates or monsters will show up.

Once a fight has started inside a gate, the gate wil close of and turn red,

until the gate is either cleared or all the players inside have died.

When a gate is cleared, the gate will turn green and dissapear after 1 hour.

If a gate is left alone for too long, it will become an "open gate" and monsters will start coming out of the gate.

To clear a gate, the clear conditions have to be met.

But it is also possible to clear a gate in a roundabout fashion.

For example, killing all hostile monsters in a gate that has a timed survival condition.

Gates that haven't been cleared 6 months after first appearing and had at leasts 5 failed attempts were named "Uncleared Gates".

The longer a gate remains uncleared, the more EXP it will give as a reward.

Gates that haven’t been cleared for years end up accumulating a ton of EXP.

A star-grade is given to a gate when over 10,000 players died inside it,

everytime 10,000 players died the grade would increase by one star.

A total of 14 gates have received stars so far.

Up till now, there hasn’t been a gate where more than 20,000 people have died,

so 1-star is the highest rating a gate has ever received, a total of 11 of them have been cleared so far.

The remaining 3 gates are called ‘the 3 Great Uncleared Gates of the World'.

## Monsters

* **Dwarves**: Dwarves were much smaller than a human male adult, and their physical abilities matched their small physique. As much as the players knew this fact, dwarves were even more self-aware of their weakness, they were smart and cunning.
* **Undead**
	+ **Zombies**: Zombies are hard to deal with for inexperienced players because they don't feel pain and only focus on attacking.
	+ **Tricker**: Trickers are much stronger than zombies, and they can even absorb the memories of the creatures they ate.
* **Leuf**: (also called Flower Ghosts)
* **Cinder Fox**
* **Fire Fox**
* **Dragon**
* **Demon**

## Players

People who've been granted power by the system to fight monters and conquer gates.

Players can gain more power by increasing their level. All stats increased by 1 with every level.

The Heavens term is used to denote the echelon of strongest players in current era. The term first started by Heavenly Demon who called himself as Heaven. Currently there are nine players who are called Heaven, thus, the term **Nine Heavens**. Four of Heavens are fiends belonged to Fiend Association, Three of Heavens are affiliated with guilds, and the last two Heavens are independent rogues. They've each cleared at least one star-grade gate.

## Skills

Skills can be acquired when a player awakens or through skill books or clearing gates.

Elemental Skills

* Frost (EX)
* Watchguard of Darkness (S)
* Ruler of Flames (S)
* Controller of Space (S)
* Chaser of Frost (S)Impromptu Fake Skill

## Items

Items found in gates are usually called artifacts and are assigned a grade by the system.

Equipment with special effects can also be made using materials found in gates, but are generally not considered artifacts.

## Fiends

If a person kills a demon clan monster that very rarely appears in gates and drinks their blood, they'll become a fiend.

the process numbs their emotions, grants them a violent nature and they gain the ability to use demonic energy.

Their eyes turn red when they become agitated.

Most fiends are part of an organisation called the "Fiend Assocation"

They are people who had no interest in closing the Gates or exterminating monsters.

Instead, they were the scum of society, using their powers to commit crimes, murder, and terrorism..WN 4

## Guilds

The Six Stongest Guilds in the World are called **Big 6**. Most of them are affiliated with either imperial family, nobles, or religious factions on 2nd Floor.

* Dokkaebi (Korean Guild) - Imperial family
* Silent Moon (Korean Guild) - Imperial family
* Labyrinth - Nobles
* Sky Soul (Japan Guild) - Nobles
* Silver Constellation - Church of the Sun
* Hallem Mercenary - None Affiliation
