The core is alive

Zenko, forever cheerful despite his augmented, robotic limbs, bears a horrifying curse: those who delve into the Abyss become its twisted puppets. Driven by the agonizing memory of loved ones lost to its corruption, he vows to sever the Abyss's very core. This ancient world, a blend of forgotten magic and advanced tech, hides untold layers within the Abyssal depths, each more perilous and corrupting than the last. Zenko, stronger and more resilient than any normal human, with an uncanny adaptability, confronts this encroaching madness. His latest expedition brought an unexpected ally: a sentient, humanoid spider. But can even this strange companion help him fight a primordial entity that threatens to consume not just his body, but his very soul, as the Abyss seeks to make him its ultimate prize?
