    In the second year of the apocalypse, Du Yue died alone, killed by apathy and exposure to extreme weather. Somehow, she opened her eyes to find herself not only alive, but also back when it was three months before the apocalypse. Despite the surprise, she thought about the upcoming disasters and upheavals. First, it was the fog that carried a virus that stayed for a month. Then, global temperatures rose to over 120 degrees, evaporating most of the world's water and melting all the icebergs. After that were level-10 earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis, permanent eclipse, and avid rain... and that was not all, because after global warming, came global freezing. As temperatures dropped to below negative fifty, the savagery humans displayed was far worse than any imagined horrors like zombies! Knowing what was coming, Du Yue sold off her family property and used the pocket dimension her mother left her to hoard as many resources as possible, so that she could survive the apocalypse. Meat? Grain? Oil? Spices? Weather gear? She bought everything! Steaks, French fries, spaghetti, and canned food must all be stocked up!

    In the corporate underworld of Seoul, human flesh is the cheapest currency. Nam-Il is the doormat of the Gangseo Technical High School. Beaten by day and enslaved by night to mop the grimy floor of a convenience store, he swallows his own dignity daily to keep a single, fragile secret safe. On the streets, he is merely "Namme"-a nobody, invisible to society. But when a cog in the mafia machine breaks, a death sentence suddenly crashes down upon his shoulders. Cornered and left to choke on his own blood on the floor of the ruined store, Nam-Il's biology gives way. And the universe does not send him a miracle. What awakens within his spine is a ravenous [Parasitic System]. An anomaly that offers no benevolent magic or guarantees of survival, but rather a brutal bargain: cellular evolution in exchange for shattered bones, self-mutilation, and extreme trauma. With an invisible clock ticking relentlessly against his life, the boy will have to lock his sanity away and feed the monster. The hunt has begun, and the "Nobody" is about to drag the gods of the underworld down into the abyss.
