Introduction
Hunter Cha Eui-jae, who was dispatched to seal a rift that appeared over the West Sea, was flung out as he closed the rift and came to his senses in a garbage dump.
Feeling extreme hunger, he was drawn like a zombie to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realized that he had fallen into South Korea, eight years in the future.
In this era, disaster alerts notify people in advance of rift openings, ASMR videos of slimes gathered from dungeons are trending, and idle hunters unbox deliveries with A-grade longswords in live streams.
Unlike the past, where people trembled in fear of an impending apocalypse, the future is surprisingly peaceful, leaving Cha Eui-jae feeling empty. Since things have turned out this way, why not start a second chapter of life as a part-timer at a hangover soup restaurant instead of a hunter?
“That’s strange.”
“…”
“Have we met somewhere before?”
Cha Eui-jae’s plan to quietly spend his remaining days as the only part-time worker at the decades-old hangover soup restaurant goes awry when he encounters a mysterious figure in a gas mask…

However, it was clear to him that this was reality. The black hole he saw earlier, his belly filled like an empty bowl, and the spoon he had unintentionally dropped with a clang, all proved it. Cha Eui-jae (Cha E-jeh)couldn’t hide his astonishment and clutched his head. All the hunters dispatched to the West Sea rift perished? As far as he knew, that was absolutely not true. No, it couldn’t be true. Because Hunter J, Cha Eui-jae (Cha E-jeh), was the sole survivor and was sitting here eating soup!
The young man grumbled, rummaging through his shopping bag and drawing out something long like a sword. From the soft curved tip to the straight stalk and the solid root at the bottom. In his hand… was a fresh green onion. The toad croaked and turned towards the young man. Each step of its heavy legs shook the entire alley like an earthquake. The young man carefully set down his shopping bag, skillfully twirled the green onion, and gripped it firmly.

(Pissed) "Twenty-four? Twentyyy-foouur? You little brat, speaking informally to a stranger. Hey, I’ve eaten at least five thousand more bowls of rice than you. Your way of speaking is too informal."
(Trying to calm himself down) "I’m just a regular civilian now. Just a civilian. Not Hunter J. That guy is a precious Hunter, and I’m a regular civilian. To find Ha-eun quickly, I need his help."
"Can I use your window? There’s something I need to take care of. I’ll call to check in tomorrow. I could just beat them all up, but… cleaning up would be a hassle. I’ll just… knock them out. I need to give them a warning."

(Skeptical) "First question. Choose. One, that ladle is an S-grade weapon unknown to the public. Is that correct? Two, you’re an unregistered Awakener. Is that correct? Well… since it doesn’t seem like an S-grade weapon, you must be an unregistered Awakener, right?"
(Pondering)“Wait. Has anyone seen a man wearing an apron with a soju brand logo around here? Yeah. Black. He also carries a ladle about this big. He has a delicate face and black hair… or was it grey?"

(Skeptical) “It doesn’t make sense. This thing was taken out in one hit. If you’re even slightly off in timing, it sprays strong acid everywhere.

(News Broadcast) "…Eight years ago today, a Grade 5 rift occurred over the West Sea. When the rift suddenly upgraded to Grade 1, the government deployed S-grade Hunter J, along with 14 A-grade and 30 B-grade hunters. The rift disappeared after a week. Unfortunately, the hunters dispatched did not return."
(Online Post) “ When 240 is in a bad mood, It feels like the building’s temperature drops by about 3 degrees. Can’t he just work from home on bad days? Damn, it’s so cold.”
This is a joke role… audition if you dare
