Baek Sa-heon was the mysterious, untouchable apex predator of the international hunter scene, recognized as the world's solitary EX-ranked contractor who ended the cataclysmic Great Dungeon War. Traumatized by ten years of nonstop slaughter and colossal monster raids, Sa-heon officially fakes his death, deletes his hunter license, and purchases a small, quiet cafe in a quiet Seoul suburb, determined to live out the rest of his days enjoying ordinary peace and brewing coffee. However, living an ordinary life proves to be the most impossible raid of all. High-ranking guild leaders, undercover intelligence agents, and chaotic awakened cadets constantly stumble into his shop, while rogue S-rank dungeon anomalies repeatedly threaten his peaceful neighborhood. Forced to quietly resolve extinction-level threats with single-handed flicked coffee stirrers without alerting his customers, the retired ranker demonstrates that maintaining a quiet mundane life requires the ultimate level of strength.

The world is set in a contemporary South Korea reshaped by sudden dimensional rifts, centered primarily around the metropolitan expanse of Seoul, key transit hubs like Seolleung Station, and the elite commercial sectors of Cheongdam-dong. Beyond mundane geography lies the extradimensional Tower of Babel - a cosmic crucible featuring glitched tutorials, the spiritual trial grounds of Boundary Mountain, and sudden, volatile spatial fractures known as Guerrilla Dungeons that materialize without warning in civilian areas.
Awakeners are categorized through a strict operational grading scale spanning from lowest to peak: E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, A-Rank, AA-Rank, and S-Rank. Towering above standard international designations is the apex tier: Final S-Class and Planetary Representative (1 Rank). Combat prowess hinges on internal mana circulation, mental resilience against divine pressure, acquired conceptual traits (such as "Lion's Heart" and "Heart Sword"), and the execution of transcendental scythe and sword masteries.
Dominant power rests within high-tier hunter guilds and celestial syndicates. The Silver Lion Guild acts as South Korea's institutional vanguard and official guardian organization for disaster survivors. The Dawn Guild commands the violent intersection of underworld muscle and high-rank dungeon clearing. The Aegis Guild represents arrogant international interests, while rogue foreign syndicates, such as Italian terrorist splinter cells led by high-ranking criminals, infiltrate metropolitan centers. Above mortal organizations hover the Celestial Constellations, cosmic entities seeking earthly avatars.
Reality is regulated by the Tower System, celestial covenants, and sovereign narrative manipulation. Awakeners typically surrender autonomy to Constellations through divine sponsorship contracts to gain system boons. Anomalies who reject celestial interference retain sovereign willpower, unlocking hidden class titles like "Star Chooser." Furthermore, dimensional timeline degradation allows rare systemic traits - such as "Libraryfication" - enabling wielders to treat reality as editable textual data, actively scrubbing digital media, resetting catastrophe points, and rewriting regional history to prevent planetary collapse.
Earth's unprecedented Final S-Class Awakener and the world's officially recognized 1 Planetary Representative. Traumatized in childhood by the loss of her father during the catastrophic "Nightmare of March," Jio developed an aloof, detached exterior designed to shield her fragile domestic reality. Beneath her desire to maintain an unremarkable, low-profile civilian existence lies a fiercely protective older sister and ruthless combatant who refuses subjugation by cosmic patrons, adopting aliases like "Kitten" and "Wizard King" to resolve catastrophic anomalies anonymously. Combat abilities and traits: Peak-tier martial and magical dominance. Wields the conceptual sovereign title "Star Chooser" and "Witch Queen." Possesses peerless scythe and dual-sword mastery culminating in the manifestation of "Heart Sword" and the psychological immunity trait "Lion's Heart," alongside "Royal Majesty," rendering her immune to celestial intimidation and divine suppression.
Chapter 1A calculating strategist and regressor who severed his own divine covenants to orchestrate humanity's survival outside celestial surveillance. Operating under the self-deprecating moniker "Professional Fraudster," Do-hyun carries the crushing psychological weight of erased timelines and national catastrophes. He functions as Jio’s domestic anchor and institutional cleaner, meticulously manipulating public media, legal documentation, and guild diplomacy to preserve her anonymity while averting apocalyptic dungeon triggers. Combat abilities and traits: Conceptual reality and information manipulation. Commands the unique sovereign authority "Libraryfication" alongside "Library-Editor," allowing him to view events as recorded manuscripts, rewrite systemic casualties, alter public digital data, and suppress gate emergence coordinates in real-time.
Chapter 1Gyeon Jio's younger sister, an active high school student and content creator navigating the emotional turbulence of awakening as a low-tier E-rank hunter. Plagued by chronic frail health and an unspoken inferiority complex regarding her combat uselessness, Geum-hee compensates by fiercely striving for domestic normalcy, managing household logistics, and broadcasting hunter culture to her online community. Combat abilities and traits: Basic E-rank physical attributes and low-tier utility sensing; primarily relies on defensive evasion protocols and modern tech-savvy networking skills.
Chapter 1The 7th-ranked hunter in South Korea and Vice President of the powerhouse Silver Lion Guild. Bound by duty, survivor's guilt, and honor, he established the institutional guardianship initiative for orphaned victims of the Nightmare of March. Seokwon balances bureaucratic governance with rigid martial ethics, serving as a stoic mentor and official buffer between predatory corporate guilds and vulnerable high-potential awakeners. Combat abilities and traits: High-tier S-rank combatant specializing in fortified vanguard tactics, heavy armaments, and expansive mana barriers capable of anchoring defensive frontlines against gate breaches.
Chapter 1An enigmatic S-rank investigator, former syndicate leader, and sovereign master of the Dawn Guild. Operating comfortably within the gray zones of the hunter underworld, Hwang Hoon possesses a keen eye for genuine martial lethality. After crossing paths with Jio's undercover persona during an unscripted dungeon outbreak, he penetrates her disguise and unilaterally declares himself her martial mentor, driven by a perverse desire to cultivate and clash with peerless talent. Combat abilities and traits: S-rank close-quarters brawler with devastating dark-attribute and kinetic aura techniques; master of battlefield perception, intimidation aura ("Twilight"), and raw physical suppression.
Chapter 18The 2 ranked hunter in the world and the preeminent diplomatic representative of the United States. Urbane, highly analytical, and politically astute, Timothy travels to Seoul under the cover of diplomatic envoy to personally appraise the identity and combat viability of Earth's elusive, uncontacted 1 Planetary Representative. Combat abilities and traits: World-class sovereign ranker; commands vast elemental output, advanced strategic mana manipulation, and peerless tactical assessment capabilities.
Chapter 18An arrogant AA-rank frontline combatant representing Guild Aegis. Defined by classist entitlement and high-ranking privilege, Marlon views lower-ranked civilians and non-combatants with open contempt, precipitating violent guild conflicts through his unchecked hubris in civilian commerce zones. Combat abilities and traits: AA-rank offensive reinforcement, heavy weapon proficiency, and high-density mana armor suited for frontline dungeon assaults.
Chapter 31A ruthless Italian syndicate warlord and international criminal syndicate leader who views the systemic collapse of national borders as an opportunity for territorial dominion. He orchestrates cross-border destabilization plots, funneling rogue hunters and black-market artifacts into foreign servers to incite state-level crises. Combat abilities and traits: High-tier covert infiltration, lethal execution spells, and tactical command of international hunter terrorist cells.
Chapter 18Ch. 1 - 6
The modern world fractures when nine-year-old Gyeon Jio experiences a sudden systemic awakening, inadvertently registering as South Korea's unprecedented Final S-Class hunter and destabilizing Earth's celestial ranking index. Years later, an imminent cataclysm at Seolleung Station is neutralized when regressive strategist Baek Do-hyun deploys his sovereign authority, "Libraryfication," to rewrite the casualty data of a catastrophic gate outbreak. The aftermath establishes a high-stakes domestic alliance as the reclusive Jio moves into Do-hyun's residence to hide her profile, only to be confronted by incoming divine summoning notices from the Tower of Babel.
Ch. 7 - 11
Tower of Babel summons activate across Earth, drawing novice trainees and elite rankers into the primary tutorial ground, only for the ascension scenario to become corrupted by blood mist and severe systemic errors. Baek Do-hyun battles to maintain structural order in the collapsing boss chamber, securing critical divine evolutionary titles in the process. Concurrently, Jio intervenes under the sovereign mantle of the "Wizard King," accepting an emergency system event quest to eradicate glitched anomalies, save stranded novice awakeners, and stabilize the compromised dimensional floor.
Ch. 12 - 17
A harrowing retrospective details the devastating "Nightmare of March" monster eruption, which resulted in the heroic death of Jio’s father and shattered her family's safety. Faced with aggressive manipulation from celestial entities demanding master-servant contracts, the young Jio endures the psychological crucible of Boundary Mountain, unlocking the supreme traits "Royal Majesty" and "Lion's Heart" through sheer personal defiance. Channeling death-god scythe techniques to crush the trial's culmination, Jio completely rejects divine patronage and is officially crowned the world's 1 ranked Planetary Representative.

As underworld investigator Hwang Hoon discovers her disguised identity and forces his mentorship upon her, Do-hyun scrambles his "Library-Editor" skill to scrub global media transmissions and protect Jio's cover.
Ch. 31 - 34
Following a tense formal visit from Silver Lion Vice President Eun Seokwon to address official dungeon sponsorship protocols, Jio attempts to spend rare domestic downtime escorting her frail sister Geum-hee through the exclusive Cheongdam Hunter's Market.

Refusing to let her family be preyed upon by institutional bullies, Jio drops her passive civilian persona to openly defy Marlon, setting off a high-stakes standoff that threatens an explosive war between Seoul's sovereign rankers and international guild powers.
