Welcome human to the World of Crypts! Here, living or perishing is up to you! Essence is everywhere, allowing mortals to reach even the divine.
World of Crypts
SteamOn an unexpected day, everyone on Earth suddenly loses consciousness. Upon waking, each person finds themselves isolated in a tiny room, completely enclosed by solid walls without any door or window. As they try to understand what happened and why they are there, a holographic screen appears out of nowhere before their eyes, displaying:

What will you do? Can humans survive in this unknown, dangerous, terrifying world, yet full of opportunities?
In World of Crypts, all creatures and beings can absorb Essence, this energy allows the beings of the Crypt to use abilities and powers almost divine. However, the path of cultivation is long and arduous.Cultivation is divided into several realms, each realm is divided into 4 stages: Lower, Middle, Advanced, and Peak. There are countless ways to become strong, each cultivator must find their own path and follow it, whether by using mundane and elemental forces, or even higher energies. Essence divides in various forms and gives rise to numerous other energies and forces. Some of the most dedicated may even find their Great Path, whether through their own ability or perhaps with the help of Destiny and Fate. Humans, as newcomers to the World of Crypts, will be able to choose a class from numerous options, thereby gaining the basic condition and ability to attempt survival. With the choice of class, they will enter the first realm of cultivation, starting at the lower stage, leaving behind the mortal limits that existed before and opening a path to become a superior being.
The World of Crypts is unique; you are not the only human transported here, the entire human race is in this place "together." As you create your own story and try to survive, others will do the same, each making their own choices based on their personality, desires, and goals, perhaps even influenced by Destiny and Fate? Will there be thousands, tens of thousands, or even billions? It all depends on your "capabilities".
The World of Crypts is shrouded in mystery. Where did it come from? What are the crypts? Where did the System come from? What is the purpose of all this? These are questions that beings of great cultivation ponder, but such inquiries are exclusively privileged to the truly strong, while everyone else is trying to live and survive; otherwise, they won't even be able to choose how they will end up dying. Although the World of Crypts is a place of many opportunities and possibilities, the risks are, if not considerably higher. Beyond the creatures themselves, the environment of some crypts can be a place of pure danger and terror. There are numerous intelligent races inhabiting the World of Crypts, many of whom were mysteriously transported thousands of years ago and have lived in the crypts ever since. In addition to these races, there are also creatures and monsters that inhabit the crypts, initially lacking consciousness. These beings rely solely on their survival instincts and the possibility of naturally cultivating essence until one day, they reach a realm of cultivation sufficient to awaken their own consciousness.
