The Hounds of Sisyphus (Introduction)
The dead no longer stay dead. They rise—not as monsters, but as aimless wanderers—plunging the world into chaos. Hope of immortality fades as disasters push humanity to the brink of extinction. Amidst the ruin, Pyo Guwon walks against the tide of fleeing survivors. On his path, he finds Heo Jinwoo, left for dead after an attack. Instead of passing by, Pyo offers a hand, posing a single question: "How does it feel to survive hell?" With that, he leads Jinwoo to a village where death holds no meaning—but in a world that refuses to let go of the past, survival is never that simple.

The Dangerous Convenience Store
Danger can come in many shapes and sizes, and the kind of danger Yeo Eui-joon has to deal with comes in the form of buff, brash, belligerent gangsters. He knew that working nights in a shifty neighborhood wouldn’t be the safest job on the planet, but reality sure does exceed expectations. However, Eui-joon’s days as the neighborhood punching bag look like they’re coming to a close when Gunwoo steps into this small store. Gunwoo, gruff as he is, genuinely seems to care about Eui-joon’s well-being, so it doesn't take long for Eui-joon to fall for this charismatic giant.
