Vaughn Lane became a waste after an F-rank attribute. He activated the Divine Attribute Extraction System, gaining immense strength. He discovered his missing parents were alive, connected to Forbidden Zone Zero, aiming to find them and its secrets. At Forbidden Zone Zero's entrance, an entity rendered his abilities useless, saying "too weak." He met Zoe Sullivan, built allies against Walton Clan and Blind Xavier. Vaughn chased Blind Xavier into Shadow Tower's black gate, opening a larger world.
