Abyssal Record: The Dead E-Rank Returned After 20 Years

Sadanari Utsugi was once nothing more than an E-rank provisional hunter, a forgotten boy sent into the deadly Mujin Depth with a party that never should have survived. When the dungeon collapsed, the world was told he panicked, abandoned his team, and died like a coward.

That was the official record.

Twenty years later, a dead gate opens beneath Tokyo, and Sadanari walks out alive.

The Hunter Association cannot rank him. The public system fails to measure him. The fake S-rank hero who built his fame on Sadanari’s stolen record begins to panic. And Miharu Shizume, the only woman who spent two decades fighting to prove his innocence, finally sees the dead man return.

But Sadanari did not only survive the dungeon. He came back carrying the Abyssal Record System, a power tied to the oldest gates, erased witnesses, stolen hunter records, and a secret hidden beyond the First Gate.

As every false record begins to collapse, Sadanari discovers that his betrayal was only the surface. Beneath the Hunter Association, beneath the global gate system, and beyond the Unreturned Archive lies a greater enemy that even the Archive itself fears.

Now the dead E-rank must break every record, expose every stolen name, rescue the mother who hid him from the world, and face the truth behind what the Archive calls him:

The door.
