I Saved Someone and Died

Top: Baek Mujin - A mythical-grade ability user, top-tier combat hunter. As the price for his abilities, a curse that devours his life force resides in his heart. Upright and sincere, he's accustomed to bearing hardships. He treasures Eunseong, his same-age friend he's grown up with since they were babies, more than his own younger sibling. After the incident where he lost Eunseong, until their reunion - after experiencing life-shaking events, he becomes aware of his own feelings.

Bottom: Yoo Eunseong - The powerless heir and sole survivor of a prestigious hunter family. He bears the duty of breaking Baek Mujin's curse, but lacks the ability to accomplish it. A person with a good heart who doesn't lose his love for humanity even when hated by the entire world. He has harbored unrequited love for Mujin, his same-age friend he's grown up with since they were babies, but never even thought of confessing. As he gradually regains his lost memories, he's flustered by his increasingly clear emotions.

When to read this: When you want to see a love where even when apocalyptic hardships and adversity strike, the two embrace each other and overcome everything together - a love where having just one person makes the world complete.

Relatable quote: "We weren't friends, were we...?"


***

The powerless younger brother survived instead of his ability-user twin older brother.

An unwanted survivor by the entire world, only Mujin, his childhood friend, welcomes Eunseong's return alive.

He wants his precious person to live.

Eunseong swallows the fire curse Hwangha in place of Mujin, which had been devouring his life, and gets caught up in an explosion.

After Eunseong disappears from the world like that, three years later, the two reunite in the "Floor," a land where monsters emerge.

"Yoo Eunseong... it's you, right?"

"Hunter Baek Mujin?"

"I missed you."

Unlike Mujin, who is overwhelmed with joy, Eunseong has lost all his memories.

Did he want to forget everything along with the painful past, even his friend Mujin?

But then, so what.

"You can't leave here. Eunseong."

Mujin's eyes, having gone through the time of loss, glisten with obsession.

'Don't tell me I liked Baek Mujin?'

Through memories that gradually return, Eunseong comes to realize his long-held unrequited love...
