Made in Abyss

Made in Abyss is set in a world shaped by the presence of an enormous, vertical chasm known only as the Abyss—a pit so vast and deep that its bottom remains unknown. Surrounding this unnatural phenomenon is a society built on curiosity, obsession, and the desperate pursuit of discovery. The Abyss is divided into multiple layers, each with its own ecosystem, flora, and fauna, growing increasingly hostile and alien the deeper one descends. Its relics—mysterious artifacts left behind by an ancient civilization—drive both scientific advancement and reckless ambition. However, ascending through its depths triggers a supernatural affliction known as the Curse, a phenomenon that changes the body and mind, worsening with each layer and rendering return from the lower levels nearly impossible. Entire systems of culture, economy, and identity revolve around delving into the Abyss, leading to the rise of specialized explorers called Delvers. These individuals follow a brutal hierarchy marked by the color of their whistles and are tasked with exploring, surviving, and retrieving relics—often at great personal cost. The Abyss is both a source of wonder and unspeakable horror, luring humanity with promises of truth while exacting a terrible toll in return. It is not just a place—it is a force that consumes all who seek to understand it. Author's Message: I still haven't gotten around compressing story cards. Since I am busy with work in general nowadays (and a LAN Party), I currently prefer releasing new stories than updating my current scenarios. Thank you for understanding.
