Dylan Parker, a student teacher, falls from a high-rise building while saving a life. Just as he plunges, the ancient realm of Gravesend shatters and a dark deluge of wraiths descends upon the world. Awakening the Judge System, Dylan begins his ascent from a low-level ghost messenger. Sweeping away wraith threats across Oceanside, he recovers fragments of Gravesend and rises through the ranks to unlock signature Judge weaponry. Yet, as internal threats persist in Summerville, foreign monstrosities like Lucifer and The Serpent King set their eyes on seizing the divine power of Gravesend. Assembling a unit of steadfast allies, Dylan fights his way through the ruins of Gravesend and into The Pyramid against terrifying foes. After braving the trial of the River of Oblivion to gather the remaining fragments, he ascends as the supreme Wraith Lord of Gravesend, crushing all wraiths, bending the laws of life and death to resurrect fallen civilians, and restoring Gravesend to forge a brand-new order.
