11 years ago, chaos broke out when a massive rift appeared.

One day, as Eui-Jae is on another mission, he and his team enter a dangerous rift in the West Sea. In the intense battle that follows, Eui-Jae loses 44 of his comrades but somehow succeeds in sealing the rift. When he regains consciousness, he finds himself alone, 8 years in the future.
***
'Hunter J' is now considered dead. Feeling a void in a world so peaceful that it makes his past sacrifices seem almost pointless, Eui-Jae decides to live a quiet, low-profile life. However, fate has other plans for him. Of all places, the hangover soup restaurant where he works part-time is a favourite spot for hunters. Of all things, the magic stone he put up for sale to make some cash turns out to be an S-rank item. And of all people, the person who finds out he’s an awakened one is none other than the top-ranked hunter, Lee Sa-Yeong.

“......”
“Have we met somewhere before?”
Eui-Jae, who wants to live an ordinary life but can’t, and Sa-Yeong, who becomes obsessed with him and proposes a suspicious deal.
