Yohan’s face turned pale. Red Heads were one of the few types of monsters that appeared consistently all over the world, despite their many abnormal and grotesque forms. They always appeared near medical facilities, and their most distinct feature was their heads, which resembled the red sirens on ambulances. Because of this, some claimed that they were mutated forms of creatures that once lived near hospitals, warped by impressions left in their memories.

- The monster’s transparent upper body, shaped like an IV bag, swayed atop a lower half made of what looked like multiple human legs stitched together. Its crude, clay-like face was studded with several narrow, cataract-clouded eyes. Then, with a violent motion, it swung its two long pairs of arms and lunged to squeeze Lee Hyunmook’s torso. But Lee Hyunmook’s movements were even faster. Snap! As if he had expected the ambush, Lee Hyunmook grabbed one of the flailing arms mid-air and crushed it…

- “Don't destroy the buildings!” The squad leader's neck veins bulged as he kept shouting into the megaphone. It wasn't that he was reluctant to destroy the buildings. Dozens of people were hiding in each one. That was the biggest problem with the Great Rift. Its progression was too rapid, leaving many unable to evacuate. While Seo Yakrin's net entangled and restricted the monsters' movements, the Special Unit quickly broke open a nearby fire hydrant. Water gushed out, flooding the floor. Then, in…

- “…Damn.” Lee Hyunmook, unusually flustered, came to a sudden stop. Alarmed by the unexpected turn of events, Yohan stretched his neck and looked around anxiously. “Was that an earthquake?” “No, this is probably…” Yohan’s eyes and mouth fell open. The ground trembled violently, and the canyon ahead was collapsing. No, moving. With a deep, thunderous rumble, the path that connected to the next zone disappeared right before their eyes. The monsters, their escape cut off, went…

- "I'll purify you!" As he declared this, Yohan jumped onto the rooftop railing and raised his spear. A dazzling radiance flared from the black-and-white Eternal Stone. The people, transformed into human cordyceps and dancing grotesquely, each slowly turned their vacant eyes toward Yohan. To them, who had been experiencing a confusing and somehow painful joy, Yohan appeared like a sudden lighthouse. And so, they stared at him, mesmerized. Then, a dazzling cascade of light poured down from the…

- The area around them looked like a textbook example of a rural Korean countryside. Yohan stared hungrily at the fields filled with sluggishly squirming plants that seemed to have their own will, or were obviously toxic and grotesque, then murmured, “If I get the chance, I’d like to try purifying those too.” “Maybe it’s actually easier with plants than animals. Could be good practice.” But no, that wasn’t why Yohan wanted to purify them. It wasn’t out of any practical or strategic…

- Only then did Yohan realize that it was not that Yosep spoke slowly because he didn’t want to say it, but because they were words from the heart. Yohan was at a loss for words. Unlike his parents, who only vaguely thought the Abyss must have been hard, Yang Yosep, who had already raided rifts several times as an awakener, had eyes that showed that he at least had some sense of how dreadful the Abyss was. Yohan swallowed dryly and asked. “What did you say? Can you say it once more?” “Come…

- Only then did Ju Hoyoung, startled, tear his gaze away from Seo Yakrin and look at Yohan. A crease formed between his brows as he scanned their surroundings sharply. “But everything seemed fine during today’s scouting.” Ju Hoyoung’s scouting range was incredibly vast due to his exceptional speed. It was so wide, in fact, that even considering the Flood’s top speed, he could scout areas that would otherwise take days for the Flood to reach. Yet instead of declaring confidently that nothing…

- Lee Hyunmook, who had awakened in an instant and rescued Yohan from Yoon Seungryong’s grasp, casually brushed the back of Yohan’s neck where he’d been grabbed. After confirming there were no injuries, he greeted him as if nothing had happened. “How’s your body feeling?” “I-I’m okay. I think I slept really well… but, um, Mr. Yoon Seungryong is awake…” “Yeah, looks like it.” Lee Hyunmook didn’t even glance at Seungryong, who was still rolling around on the living room…

Meanwhile. Jiho—the “controversial” center of the frenzy—started his day like any other, completely unaware that the world had flipped upside down because of him. Breakfast with Dojin, a shower, slipping into the clothes Dojin picked out for him, layered under one of Dojin’s coats. Then, climbing into Dojin’s car for the ride to work. “Things will get busy at the Center. You’ll be starting your new guide training today.” Dojin’s voice drifted over as Jiho sat in the…- 289.6 K • Completed
