Atlas

Ocean Gladiator

The dark, cold and mysterious deep sea is the last unexplored frontier of the Land of Dawn. From the surface, the sun fades and the temperature drops, then it is total darkness. It is called the Abyssal Sea, where the currents and high pressures are strong enough to destroy all the advanced materials invented by Eruditio. This place is a forbidden living zone, where no human has ever set foot. Only the remains of these abandoned and eliminated civilizations sink and pile up.

However, there is not only death here. Many incredible and indescribable creatures, including Atlas, have been struggling and breeding in this dangerous zone for ages. They were among the oldest living beings in the Land of Dawn, devouring elemental creatures for power, causing them to be imprisoned in this deepest place by the Ancients. The powerful Injunction blocked light, heat and their path upwards. In order to adapt to the high-pressure environment, they removed their redundant shells and structures and developed a variety of fluid shapes. In the endless darkness, there is no fight or conflict, only the law of survival: existence, alternation and circulation.

However, over the centuries, some things have gradually changed. Changes are not born under the ocean but from above. The succession of civilizations and incessant wars have affected not only the land but also the seas. Everything started to deteriorate. The creatures of the Abyssal Sea could no longer adapt to an even worse situation. Withering and death came without warning. The biggest among them were the first to fight. These giant fibrous creatures moved their tentacles and bodies to rush upwards, only to be torn apart by the Injunction.

The others couldn't understand their plight, but they knew they needed change – it's an instinct of all living things. So they started thinking about workarounds. They began trying to break the injunction. The only prisoner who finally got rid of the Abyssal Sea was Atlas. As the most experienced individual, he sensed the change sooner than anyone of his species when the Abyssal Sea was involved. He was the first to prepare the escape.

The torn flesh warned other creatures that their bodies were vulnerable to this overwhelming power. To break the Injunction, he must find a rigid shell. Atlas continued to wander and search in the depths. Until one day, in a pile of remains of civilization, he found his destined shell: the Mecha Sentry, a set of giant ancient machine armors. These large objects were made as war machines by the Icelandic Golems who once ruled the North Valley. After the ancient golems disappeared, they were abandoned by later civilizations, thrown into the ocean and completely forgotten by the world.

Atlas slowly approached the Mecha Sentry and found that it was decaying on the seabed like a stiff piece of iron due to the absence of the control core. He then entered the center of the machine, stretched his tentacles, injected them into each joint and began to take control of it. Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the Mecha Sentry who had slept for thousands of years lit his eyes again. The forgotten body and the abandoned soul were perfectly combined and unified.

The giant Mecha Sentry broke the Injunction, rushed from the depths to the surface, then leapt above the sea. It was the moment when the world welcomed a new player: Atlas, the Ironclad Kraken.

Atlas felt strange and curious about this world. He visited wherever the seas could reach, driven by the desire to learn and grow stronger. He frantically drew his knowledge from creatures, races and civilizations. During this time, his control of the Mecha Sentry became more and more effective. As if the machine was initially made for him. But no matter how much time passes, Atlas is always haunted by one thought: his people are still fighting in the Abyssal Sea, the largest prison and most isolated place in the world.

Now Atlas not only has tough armor, but also a plan. He will break the injunction between the Abyssal Sea and the world, saving his species from eternal imprisonment. There is a secret treasure that only pirates believe is hidden somewhere in the sea of ​​Northern Vale. It has the power to regenerate itself, powerful enough to change the ecology of an entire ocean. Atlas wants it, from the first time he learned the story.
