“What? The government… why? Why would they do that?” Yohan couldn’t understand it at all. In this day and age, awakeners were valuable assets. Even in Korea’s past, thanks to two high-level awakeners, the country was considered relatively safe. On top of that, the Sunrise Team had made huge contributions to society. He couldn’t understand why anyone would do something like this. “I don’t think they were aiming to make the entire Sunrise Team disappear. It was an attack targeting me,…- 297.5 K • Completed
- The glass door slid open, and the very person Yohan had been yearning to see stepped inside without hesitation. Yohan shot up from his seat and ran toward him, and the man leaned forward slightly with a wide smile, making it easier for Yohan to throw his arms around him. “…I missed you.” It was embarrassing to say he missed him after only a few days apart, so his voice came out muffled. But Lee Hyunmook hugged him tightly in return and replied, “I missed you too, Yohan-ah.” Yohan had…

- Yoon Seungryong quickly typed the passcode and opened the door. Lee Hyunmyeong leaned into her brother’s arms and staggered inside. Watching her break down into sobs, finally letting out the sorrow she had bottled up, made Yohan tear up again. He quickly wiped his eyes. The others stepped aside to give them privacy. Holding Yohan in her arms, Seo Yakrin spoke gently. “Our Yohan must be missing his family too, and yet you can’t go see them. That must be hard.” “I’m okay…! It’s not just…

- Just two days after Lee Chanha’s warning, Yohan was subjected to a series of complicated tests. The examiner spoke with a cheerful smile. “If you just get through this one last test, you should be able to leave the facility. You won’t be able to see your family until the government makes an official announcement, though.” “Really? This is the last test?” Yohan, who had been enduring the annoying procedures without much thought, brightened at that. Having his blood drawn again and again…

- At the top of the article were several high-resolution photos. There was also footage taken from the helicopter that day. The images clearly showed Lee Hyunmook, the rest of the party, and the Special Suppression Unit. Fortunately, Lee Hyunmook had blocked the view in advance, so Yohan’s face had not been revealed. The article laid out a logical timeline detailing the activities, disappearance, and return of Lee Hyunmook and the Sunrise Team, speculating about their condition. It also expressed…

- The early part of the flight was smooth. At least for the first two or three hours. Seo Yakrin, whose corruption had risen from prolonged ability use, landed briefly on the wasteland below. She clenched her fists, as if trying to calm her anger and irritation. After taking a few deep breaths, her wings suddenly unfurled out with a loud crack of bones and flesh twisting. It looked like she’d released something she’d been forcing down, snapping out like a spring. Seo Yakrin, who had been shaking…

- <7> The Returnees “Everyone, did you have a good holiday? On this last day of April, there was a report of a Grade 7 monster appearing in Gwangjin District… Awakener dispatched by the government’s Rift Management Bureau have successfully neutralized it and removed the corrupted matter… The number of victims has been confirmed as thirty-two in total…” The sound of the news woke Yohan from sleep. He had dozed off while watching TV, but the nap had felt sweet. He slowly looked around.…

- Yohan had taken time to rest first, to bring his body into peak condition. For two straight days, he ate the nourishing meals Yoon Seungryong had prepared with care and slept soundly. By the time he woke up, he was ready. They moved toward the city center, the location Seo Yakrin had spotted from high above. Yohan took a few deep breaths and held out his hand. “Hoyoung-ah, please give me a buff.” Ju Hoyoung, rarely this nervous, grabbed Yohan’s hand. As power surged from him, the energy within…

- Only after Ju Hoyoung had gone far to catch beef, and after boiling the bones to make rich broth and eating it for several days did Yohan finally recovered his strength. ‘But what was that…? Did I have some sort of dream while I was sick?’ Yohan was lost in thought as he slowly polished his own spear, which Lee Chanha had kept safe for him.. At that time, when the core of the Abyss collapsed, Lee Hyunmook had swallowed up all the team members, including Yohan. After that, it seemed he’d…

- “…Ah!” Yohan’s breathing began to hitch again even though he wasn’t crying anymore,. It felt like he was being caressed by dozens of tongues and lips. Even his fingers flailing in the air were sucked in one by one. His body temperature rose, and his heart pounded rapidly. “H-Hyunmook-hyung….” Yohan was panting, unaware that he’d already drifted far from the Eternal Stone where he had just read that dreadful memory. What is this? What is happening? It was so strange, really…
