Chapter 11: Past Life [2]
The World After The Fall—that was what Earth became following the emergence of the gates. It was approximately three months after Kai's transmigration that the unimaginable occurred—something that was thought to be just fiction.
Enormous portals, resembling rifts in space, appeared in every city across Earth, unleashing monsters upon the world.
Yet just as humanity teetered on the brink of extinction, hunters emerged—individuals with extraordinary abilities who stood against the monstrous threat.
Despite their efforts, Earth remained fragmented. Humanity sought refuge behind metallic domes, shielded from the creatures that prowled outside.
Meanwhile, the hunters—both heroes and rulers of this new world—fought for the protection of lives and resources.

My hometown, Korea, was one of seven nations to harbor not only a Tier Five gate but also—S-ranks.
'Apparently, my dad, after awakening as an S-rank, used references from my novel as Earth's terminology in an attempt to soothe my spirit.' A smile crept across my face as I handed Hari a cup of tea.
