Some lunatic from next door just busted in and went,
“I’m gonna kill you. Gonna destroy your world.”
Like, what the actual fuck??

Were you asleep this whole time? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
┖Don’t you live in Seoul? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
┖No, I do live in Seoul. My whole house started shaking; I thought it was my damn sibling stomping around again, so I yelled “shut the fuck up, you bastard” and went back to sleep. Turns out my sibling’s a Hunter and had volunteered to stop the dungeon outbreak;;;
┖LMAO the poor sibling got cursed out for no reason XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD The fact that you just slept through it is hilarious, but what kills me is that you posted this way after the whole thing ended.
┖Fr;;;; But seriously, why did this whole world-ending shit go down in Seoul of all places?? ┖People are saying it’s because the sun rises earlier here and the population density or something. Here’s a link with the breakdown<
┖Damn, that analysis is detailed as hell But hey, I actually took this opportunity to study mythology properly… Norse mythology…
┖No wonder it was cold as balls… Turns out it wasn’t global warming—it was the apocalypse LMAO
┖Still, global warming’s no joke
┖True, global warming is serious
Fucking hell, even my own Constellation is from Norse mythology. Why didn’t they tell me sooner??
┖Maybe they didn’t trust you
┖Maybe you were just that unreliable
┖Cut it out, you assholes
But why is it so funny to me that Baek Tae-beom was one of the people who saved the world this time?
┖Why tho?
┖It’s like, “He looked like he’d destroy the world, but turns out he saved it?!”
┖Sounds like a damn light novel
I still think Choi Ga-hyeon is the most suspicious one here…
┖??? Suspicious???
┖Think about it. Choi Ga-hyeon suddenly pops up, all badass, gets an unmeasurable rank, kicks ass in the dungeon, and ends up stopping the apocalypse. Doesn’t it feel like he was literally made to prevent the end of the world?
┖Damn, when you put it like that, I got chills;

Did y’all know Oh Kwon-hyuk straight up crashed through the ceiling mid-concert? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Video link<

Oh, I saw that XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
┖I’ve never understood what the hell Oh Kwon-hyuk is doing, but seriously, what was *that* about??
┖Apparently the dungeon detection radar glitched and he got the location wrong XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
How dare you interrupt the great Blue Star’s concert—I won’t forgive you, Oh Kwon-hyuk.
┖And what are you gonna do if you don’t forgive him
┖I’m not voting for him in the next Hunter popularity poll
┖What kind of revenge is that XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
But did y’all see that pic of Blue Star standing next to Choi Ga-hyeon?
┖OMG I saw it and I was shook
┖Same. He was standing right next to Blue Star in a super close-up and his face still looked flawless. WTF
┖If it were me, the pic would’ve been titled “Alien Invader Next to Blue Star” and spread all over the forums
But apparently Blue Star just calmly told Oh Kwon-hyuk to sing one line and then sent him off.
┖I wonder what kind of shit he said behind his back after that XDDD
┖See, Blue Star doesn’t exactly have the best personality…
┖EXCUSE ME? Are you insulting our Blue Star??
┖No, no, that’s not what I meant—

Sure, the world nearly ended— But in the end, it didn’t. There were people who didn’t run away, who stayed and fought for us. Isn’t that… kind of beautiful? Just that alone restores my faith in humanity.

Shut the fuck up and come help fix the parts of Seoul that got blown to shit
┖Ah, damn. You caught me not doing anything? lol
┖Of course you’d say “it’s beautiful” when you’re not lifting a fucking finger, psycho ┖Meanwhile the civil servants are getting wrecked LMAO
If this were a comic, it’d go “Ah… what a beautiful tale” and fade out. But this is real life, huh? We have to clean everything ourselves.
┖Still, we’re alive. That counts for something.
┖True… When the dungeon rampage hit, I really thought I was gonna die right then and there.
They say new Hunter laws are being enforced more strictly now, so we don’t get another Gongmyeong incident.
┖Hunter Association was involved this time too, right?
┖Fr… the corruption was insane
┖Losing faith in humanity while also regaining it at the same time
***
And still, we live on.
The Hunter Association held itself accountable. Lim Chang-joo, who was being considered for the new president, voluntarily stepped down, and another person was selected to take the role.
The Gongmyeong Guild was completely dismantled, and those who had been brainwashed by Angrboda all returned to normal. Kang Si-hoo turned himself in and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Some said that was far too lenient for someone who nearly destroyed the world. News of punishment for the other involved parties filled the headlines every day.
All domestic guilds and Hunters joined forces to restore the wreckage in Seoul. The areas near the ruins of Gongmyeong were particularly difficult, with experts saying it would take a long time to repair due to the complex underground structure.
Since Yoo Ji-won had broadcasted part of the incident, the public understood how close the world had come to destruction. That’s why people hailed Baek Tae-beom and the rest of us as heroes. But it wasn’t something to celebrate.
Because I was no longer a Constellation. I had lost all my powers. I wasn’t even an Awakened anymore—I was just a regular human being. The blessings from the Constellations were gone. I had no skills left. Nothing that made me special. I was, in every sense, an ordinary person now.
And with this ordinary body, there was no way I could fend off the onslaught of emotions and demands, so I ended up shutting myself indoors. Of course, it wasn’t even my house. It was Baek Tae-beom’s.
Then, as if by some miracle, Baek Tae-beom’s younger brother woke up. He would still need to stay in the hospital for some time to recover, but it was good news—something we hadn’t had in a long while.
We had saved those who should have died. We had changed the world. Of course, I hadn’t done it alone. But that only made me feel even more attached to this world.
‘Was it just attachment, though?’
I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had finally been accepted by this world.
“Hyung, I’m home.”
“You’re back?”
I closed the book I was reading and greeted Baek Tae-beom. The warm weather brought in plenty of sunlight, so I spent most of my time in the living room these days. Baek Tae-beom smiled and reached out to hug me—then paused awkwardly and lowered his arms. That was… suspicious.
“I had a good day at work.”
“…You did?”
Yeah, something had been bothering me lately. It was Baek Tae-beom’s behavior.
Right after we saved the world, there was no time to think about it. But now that things had calmed down, I realized something was off. Baek Tae-beom was avoiding physical contact.
He used to cling to me like a spoiled child, but now he smiled like everything was fine while subtly pulling away. That in itself wasn’t unforgivable—maybe he just didn’t like physical affection anymore.
But… aren’t we dating?
I watched him walk into the bedroom to change clothes, then flopped face-first onto the sofa. Clutching my head, I silently mouthed a scream. I wanted to yell, but if I did, Baek Tae-beom would hear for sure.
We’d said all sorts of things. We kissed. We promised to be together forever. And yet Baek Tae-beom was distancing himself.
He used to grab my hand the moment we met. Now, if our hands even brushed, he’d flinch and pull away. Of course I felt stifled.
And now that I’d lost my Constellation soul, emotions I’d never fully processed before were hitting me like a flood. I felt like I was finally facing the price of ignoring Baek Tae-beom’s feelings.
After thrashing around on the couch for a while, I went limp. My head throbbed. But who could I even talk to about this?
I couldn’t dump my relationship problems on Lee Myung-won—he was already overwhelmed. What was I supposed to say? “Tae-beom won’t hold my hand anymore”? No way. Same with the other Hunters—they were all busy too.
Yoo Ji-won had the most free time, but if I confided in him, there was a 100% chance he’d use it as content for his next broadcast. No thanks.
Back when I was a Constellation, I could’ve at least talked to the others. But now, as a mere human, their voices were gone.
I stared blankly at the ceiling. It was… empty.
I’d never realized how quiet the world could be. I reached up, trying to block out the sunlight with my hand, then rested the back of my hand against my forehead and blinked slowly. My eyes drifted to the book I’d been reading.
What Men Live By
Staring at the title, I squeezed my eyes shut.
A storm of emotion surged inside me. It felt like I’d outlived my usefulness—that I should just let everything go now.
All that remained in me was a hollow ache. Maybe it was because I’d poured everything out already.
I tried to fill that void by devouring books, but no matter how much I read, the emptiness never went away.
“Hyung. Are you asleep?”
How long had I had my eyes closed? I sensed a shadow overhead and slowly opened them. Baek Tae-beom, now changed into a clean shirt, was leaning over me.
Black hair. Golden eyes. Soft lips. That ever-gentle voice that always called my name. Everything about him was nothing short of enchanting. Silently, I reached out and brushed his hair aside.
Even with all that had happened, I was still sure of one thing— That Baek Tae-beom couldn’t possibly not love me.
Because the way he looked at me… Was exactly the same as the way I looked at him.
“Wanna go outside for a bit?”
