The drilling platform was carrying out routine operations in the northern waters.
Deep drilling, stable readings — nothing out of the ordinary. Until the drill struck a dense layer that looked like oil.
️ A thick black mass surged to the surface — the Essence of the Abyss, an ancient substance that had slumbered in the ocean’s depths. Soon, the platform was engulfed by it. The workers barely managed to send an SOS signal...
Rescue ships rushed to the scene, but upon arrival found no platform — and no survivors. Only waves smelling of fuel and death.
Suddenly, strange skulls of sea creatures, covered in runes, appeared on the water. They formed a zone that the Essence couldn’t penetrate — that’s what allowed a few to survive.
But the darkness had already spread to the ships. Their metal hulls became covered in rune patterns, and the crews began losing control.
Rumor has it they tried to harness the Essence, turning it into a weapon... and from this nightmare, HW Nightbane and HW Dreadshade were born — ships powered by the Abyss itself.
️ Face what crawled out from the depths — and claim vessels marked by the power of darkness.
Beware: the sea remembers everyone who dared to challenge its secrets.
