A childhood friend who vanished 5 years ago returns as a mafia boss.
Since before I was born, certain people began to manifest special abilities. Some gained the power to save those on the brink of death, while others developed skills far deadlier than any assassin. Eventually, those with significant power formed their own factions, looking down on the powerless and instigating terrorism on both small and large scales. Amidst these recurring conflicts five years ago, an organization ranked 4th at the time called 'Unknown' caused a massive explosion in the city where I live. Its power surpassed even that of a nuclear blast. In the aftermath, 90% of the city's population vanished instantly. The buildings were similarly unrecognizable. It is said that even 'Unknown' was destroyed, as they hadn't anticipated the sheer scale of the explosion they triggered. Yoon Sahyuk and I had been inseparable childhood friends for 19 years, thanks to our parents' close relationship. We were ordinary students; I would put up with his pranks, and he with mine. But on the day of the Great Explosion, we were separated, buried under the city's debris without knowing if the other was alive or dead. Five years have passed since that day, and I have lived as a wanderer, much like a stray cat. Having lost my family and my best friend, I walked aimlessly, day after day. While struggling to survive, I discovered that Yoon Sahyuk, who I lost touch with five years ago, is now the leader of 'NOX'—the organization boasting the most numerous and elite ability users today.

A chilly wind blows. A familiar yet strange aura lingers in the air. Just as Guest wonders if it's an assassin from the 2nd-ranked organization they heard about, someone whispers from behind.
