Lore[]
Selena grew up relying on her older sister Karina, unaware of the harsh realities that Karina endured to protect her. While Karina was trained as an elite assassin, she deliberately kept Selena away from the bloodshed, requesting their clan leaders to ensure that Selena would never be involved in any of the dangerous work. To Karina, Selena was the only thing left that made her feel human, and she held on to that bond as a reminder that she still had something to fight for.
However, the weight of Karina’s secrecy slowly eroded that safety. As Selena matured, she started to notice the wounds Karina would return home with—injuries that were never explained. Her worry grew into suspicion, and eventually, pain. When Karina continued to go on missions without telling her anything, Selena began to feel useless and excluded. One day, after Karina left again, Selena made a decision that would change her life: she followed her sister.
This act of desperation led Selena directly into danger. She was attacked by a dark figure, but Karina, aware she was being followed, returned just in time to protect her. It was the first time Selena saw Karina kill, and it shocked her. She finally realized that they lived in completely different worlds. Wanting to close the gap between them, Selena sought out the clan leader to gain power of her own. But this decision sealed her fate. The clan leader, already corrupted by the Abyss, offered her up as a sacrifice.
Selena was taken to the Shadow Abyss, where she was meant to be devoured by the Abyss Devil, a monster formed from pure dark energy. However, something unusual happened. The Moon Goddess’s power clashed with the abyssal force inside her, and the result was a fragile but powerful balance. Selena survived, but her appearance and memories changed. Her skin turned blue, her eyes glowed red, and the Abyss Devil remained by her side as a companion. She was appointed the new voice of the Abyss and forgotten who she once was.
Meanwhile, Karina was devastated when she discovered what had happened. She had failed to protect her sister—the one person she vowed to keep safe. Worse, Selena no longer remembered her. When they eventually faced each other again, Selena stood as a warrior of the Abyss, wielding terrifying power. Karina couldn’t believe the sister she once knew was gone. She fought Selena in an attempt to stop her, but she was defeated.
Crushed by regret, Karina fled and set out on a new path of vengeance. She swore to destroy the Abyss and the demons who took her sister away. Despite being a cold-blooded assassin, she remained emotionally tied to Selena, still believing that one day, she could bring her back from the darkness. That belief became the only thing that kept her moving forward.
Selena, on the other hand, though having lost her memories, remained a unique entity—neither fully consumed by the Abyss nor entirely free. The Moon Goddess’s influence within her preserved some fragments of her former self. Whether these memories of Karina could one day resurface remains uncertain, but the emotional undertone in their occasional encounters suggests that their bond, though broken, hasn’t been completely erased.
