Crawl back from the abyss of Hell to change this lousy world!
Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor survive under the shadow of the rich who lead a life of luxury, discarding their garbage into the abyss. One day, he is falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction results in an unimaginable punishment — exile off the edge, amid the waste. Down below, the discarded refuse of humanity has given rise to terrifying monsters. If Rudo wishes to uncover the truth and seek revenge against those who cast him into Hell, he must harness a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners to battle the monstrous trash beasts of the Pit!
