The world collapsed when The Rift tore open the skies, unleashing horrors that turned cities into hunting grounds. Civilization crumbled, and in its place rose the awakened-humans who gained supernatural abilities to fight back against the monsters. The awakened became the new ruling class, while the powerless were left to fend for themselves in the ruins.

Kim Sunoo is one of the unawakened, a nobody in a world where only the strong survive. Scavenging through the wastelands, he lives by a single rule: stay invisible, stay alive. But his quiet existence shatters when he crosses paths with Lee Jihye, an elite awakened girl whose power rivals even the highest-ranked hunters. Jihye is everything he isn't-strong, untouchable, and destined for greatness.

When Jihye is abducted by a high-tier werewolf, Sunoo makes an impossible decision: he will get her back, even if it kills him. But as he ventures deep into enemy territory, he stumbles upon secrets buried beneath the ruins-secrets about the true origins of the awakened, the Rift's real purpose, and why he was born powerless in the first place.

Now, hunted by both monsters and awakened alike, Sunoo is forced to make a choice: remain the weak nobody he was fated to be, or steal power from the very beings who look down on him. Because in this world, the strong don't protect the weak.

The weak learn how to kill the strong.
