Yang Yohan is betrayed by a friend and falls into the Abyss, the worst dungeon imaginable. In this monster-filled hell, he encounters Lee Hyunmuk – one of Korea’s strongest awakened, who went missing in the Abyss years ago. “Mr. Lee Hyunmuk, you can’t kill me, okay? I’m… human….” “Human….” “That’s right, I’m human…. And you are too, Mr. Lee Hyunmuk.” But Hyunmuk, influenced by the Abyss, is half-mad. Together with him – who only occasionally regains his senses – Yohan struggles to survive, treating wounds and searching for food. “This place experiences a certain phenomenon once every few decades. I call it a ‘flood.’” “A flood?” “As it approaches, the corruption and madness grow worse… just like I was a moment ago.” But when the sudden onset of a flood hits, Hyunmuk completely loses his mind… “If you’re a lamb, why don’t you bleat?” “I-I’m not a lamb, I’m Yang Yo-a” “My lamb.” In the brutal environment of the Abyss, with a festering leg wound, terrifying monsters that howl and attack – and on top of that, Hyunmuk’s madness… Yohan’s desperate struggle to escape this otherworld leaves him not a day without tears.
