Yohan had wanted to say this after coming home, the timing had never been right. Hearing those words, Kim Yejoo was the first to realize the truth. “You awakened there? Then… that bastard Park Seungmin….” “Yes. He could never be a high-level awakener.” The first awakener of any given type was always a high-level, and since Yohan had awakened long before Park Seungmin, it was impossible for Park Seungmin to rank higher than him. Thinking back on what had just happened, Kim Yejoo…- 297.5 K • Completed
“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…- 297.5 K • Completed
Wasn’t the first subway barely enough to fill half the tunnel? But now, it looked like it filled nearly two-thirds. He couldn’t tell when it had gotten so big. Paaaang! The sound of it barreling toward them was deafening. Lee Hyunmook, who had been staring sharply at the subway, gauged the distance between the wall and the subway, then leapt. Yohan’s arms, wrapped tightly around Lee Hyunmook’s neck, tensed. Lee Hyunmook climbed using the grooves in the wall and hung from the ceiling.…- 297.5 K • Completed
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…- 297.5 K • Completed
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…- 297.5 K • Completed
That blissful flight lasted for about an hour. When the reed boat finally landed near their temporary shelter, having completed its voyage, Yohan looked at Seo Yakrin in awe. She grew stronger the more she used her power, sure, but to keep an object of this mass floating and moving for an entire hour… it was incredible. To be honest, it wasn’t just Seo Yakrin who amazed him. Yoon Seungryong’s spatial ability could still store objects without a capacity limit. Ju Hoyoung’s speed remained…- 297.5 K • Completed
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…- 297.5 K • Completed
“Yang Yohan-ssi. Did you sleep well last night? Did the new sleeping pills work?” “Hyunmook hyung…?” Even as he mumbled blankly, Yohan couldn’t quite figure out what felt off. His mind was hazy, strangely fogged over. Why was the other person calling him Yang Yohan-ssi? He used to call him more familiarly before. And why was he here? What had happened to him? “It seems the medication is still in your system. Your body feels weak, doesn’t it? You might collapse, so how about sitting…- 297.5 K • Completed
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
Yohan finally realized that maybe for the rest of his life he might have to travel across the world, following the path the Abyss moved. He unconsciously looked at Lee Hyunmook. It seemed that what he had just realized, Lee Hyunmook had already anticipated in advance. With a smiling face, he said, “Don’t worry. Wherever you go, I’ll always be there, and the team members too.” The future that had not yet come already felt a little frightening and daunting, but since Lee Hyunmook said that,…- 297.5 K • Completed
