Description

500 years ago, the Abyss King was slain after a brutal and bloody war infamously known as the Longest Night. However, even death cannot hold back the darkness he spreads, and so the leaders of the world send 5 brave warriors, 1 chosen from each race, to kill the tyrant before he can resurrect himself. The warriors emerge victorious, though at the cost of two of their comrades. Peace reigns over the land once again...but it is short lived. After a second coming of the Abyss King is foretold, 5 new heroes are gathered with the sole purpose of slaying the Abyss King before he can terrorize the world once more. The Human Kristoff Arondight is chosen as the representative for mankind, and he sets off with his new companions into enemy territory. As Kris and his party venture into the Abyss King's resting place, they ponder what dangers they may face. Little do they know their endeavor is the opening act in a grand undertaking that will shake the foundations of the world itself...

    Having this kind of synopsis helps alot, and also the way this is going is pretty good and slowly wraping me into the pace.
    This is the first review based on the first chapters until ch.11 which is the last one atm, but i will eventually make a full one, with norhing more to say best luck to the author.

    Now, I don't know what the plot really is, but the synopsis seems to suggest that the story may have been slightly based on the light novel, 'Rokka No Yuusha'.
    Well, it's rather obvious that one wouldn't have plagiarised, since 'Rokka No Yuusha' (The six braves of the Hibiscus) is based on impostor mysteries, which is difficult to replicate.
    If not too deeply advanced, I would hope that the author avoids having people invoking such faint prejudices in the future by slighting altering the plot, especially, the choosing of five 'heroes' part to set out adventuring. It almost directly feels mirrored.
