    • chapter 0008: Crazy Guy Cover
      by 백삼 “Even twins born a minute apart can distinguish between who’s older and younger!” Cha Eui-jae, flaring up with anger, snapped, and the gas mask responded with a compliant answer. “Okay. I understand, Hyung.” Hyung? Suddenly being addressed so familiarly left Cha Eui-jae looking up at the gas mask with a bewildered expression. “Hyung?” “Would you prefer if I called you by your name?” “No.” “Or should I call you apron?” “No, not…
    • chapter 0007: Crazy Guy Cover
      by 백삼 “Seriously, I have to go. There’s an elementary school student wandering around at this hour. Aren’t you worried about a child roaming the streets alone at night?” It was a statement so touching, it could have been a narration for a public service announcement. ‘Please understand.’ Staring at the inscrutable black gas mask, Cha Eui-jae prayed silently. “Right, that’s true.” But despite Cha Eui-jae’s desperate plea, the gas mask’s voice remained relaxed. It…
    • chapter 0006: Crazy Guy Cover
      by 백삼 (2) Cha Eui-jae swung the stainless steel ladle he brought along in the air. It was obviously more durable than a green onion, making it a decent tool for self-defense. He continued to twirl the ladle, thinking of places Park Ha-eun might have gone. There were no emergency rift alerts, so she wouldn’t have left her grandmother to evacuate somewhere… Did she go to the playground at this hour? Or maybe she sneaked out to buy more ice cream after finishing the one she had earlier. Cha Eui-jae pondered…
    • chapter 0005: The Day of the Rift Cover
      by 백삼 Black hair and a white scarf. The only mask that couldn’t possibly be mistaken for anyone else. ‘Isn’t this an invasion of privacy?’ The character drawn here was unmistakably Hunter J, Cha Eui-jae himself. Should he call this a violation of his image rights, or infringement of the mask’s copyright? Just because he’s presumed dead, isn’t it too reckless to use his likeness so freely? In fact, this wasn’t the only book where J appeared. Whether it was because people…
    • chapter 0004: The Day of the Rift Cover
      by 백삼 (1) The world was turned upside down on an otherwise ordinary day 11 years ago, when thunder struck so loudly it felt like the sky was falling. Awoken by the unusually loud thunder, people looked up to see a massive black hole in the sky. As if waiting for everyone to wake up and see, the thunder suddenly stopped when people gazed at the sky. From the black hole, monsters no one had ever seen before began to pour out. The rift instantly sucked in everything around it, and monsters swarmed out of the newly…
    • chapter 0001: Prologue Cover
      by 백삼 “Thank you! Please come again!” With a cheerful voice from the employee, the automatic door of the supermarket opened. A young man wearing a gray hoodie and carrying a strawberry-patterned shopping bag filled with various ingredients headed towards the bus stop. “A rift has appeared at the intersection, and traffic is being controlled. Please cooperate.” The young man tilted his head at the unfamiliar scene unfolding on his usual route. Someone wearing a fluorescent yellow safety vest over…
    • chapter 0002: Prologue Cover
      by 백삼 In a secluded corner of an obviously old alley, there was a restaurant operating without even a signboard. The only clue as to what kind of place it was was a “Hangover Soup” sticker attached to a creaky iron sliding door, yet the place was packed. The inside was as busy as it was crowded outside, with people lining up. The only items on the menu were a fifteen-thousand-won hangover soup and alcoholic beverages. Near the menu on the wall, there were some faded posters and autographs taped up…
    • chapter 0003: Prologue Cover
      by 백삼 “Um, may I use the phone?” “Sure, go ahead.” “Thank you.” Cha Eui-jae headed straight to the counter inside the store as soon as he finished speaking. He grabbed the old receiver and dialed the direct line to the Awakened Management Bureau Director, a number only he knew. His hand trembled constantly as he dialed. However, —The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the number and dial again… He tried calling again just in case, but the result was the same.…
