Title: [Anonymous] If J is alive
If there is a rift in the West Sea, shouldn't we send a rescue team?
He might be alive but unable to move.
Maybe his legs are cut off...

—Are there really no other survivors?
⤷ Yes, I compared the names on the memorial with the rankings, and J's name was newly added. It looks like only J survived.
—Do you know what it's like inside the rift? Do you know how many hunters have died there?
⤷ But are we just going to leave someone trapped in a rift?
⤷ Ha... They went in to save people like this, huh? ㅋㅋ Humanity is doomed.
⤷ Don't you remember when the West Sea rift was expanding rapidly? If we open it, the country could be doomed.
⤷ Is it the same now as it was back then? How much has our power increased? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ this isn't the time when the entire nation had to risk their lives for one person, J.
⤷ Does it make sense to use all that power just to save one J??
—Nope~ you can't even open a closed rift, see ya.
At first, people didn't believe it. Even among the hunters, most thought it was just a temporary error that would soon be fixed. However, Channel 1, which had directly confirmed J's existence, remained silent, waiting for the official announcement from the Awakened Management Bureau.
—It's a lie~
—Sigh, why tell such lies?
—Even if there's an error, how can there be such an error? ㅋㅋ.
—The system can also break down sometimes.

—Why isn't the error being fixed?
—Could it be?
It didn't take long for people to attach a question mark, half doubting, behind the word 'could it be.' Days passed without the rankings changing, and people grew anxious.
As all sorts of media outlets began to spread baseless rumors, treating them as facts, the Awakened Management Bureau hurried to control the confusion. The press conference was scheduled for 3 PM, so Cha Eui-jae put up a "Ingredient Preparation Time" sign to watch the press conference alone.
When the time came, a woman appeared on the screen, dressed neatly in a short haircut and a smart suit, holding a cane. Apart from her pale complexion, she looked similar to how Cha Eui-jae remembered. She was Ham Seok-jeong, the head of the Awakened Management Bureau, who had avoided public appearances due to health reasons.
After a brief greeting, she spoke firmly.
—This ranking update is not a system error.
She took a moment to catch her breath before continuing.
—It's not a case of name duplication either. No one else has taken J's name... It's hard to believe, but according to our internal investigation, J is currently alive.
The murmuring and the sound of camera flashes grew louder. Journalists raised their hands one after another.
—How can you be so sure?
—Are there no other survivors besides J?
—Eight years ago, the Awakened Management Bureau confirmed the death of the hunters who entered the West Sea rift. Why is the story changing now?
