Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 170

His breath had surged up to his throat, yet the man did not stop running. Even this suffocating agony, as if his lungs might burst, felt welcome to him.

At twenty-one, having awakened for the first time at fourteen and lived solely on hatred ever since, hope had finally been granted to him.

His younger sister, Cheon Shin Ah, had returned.

[This is the timeline separator]

On that day, of all days—when his luck had hit rock bottom—he nearly died, awakened, and lost his sister all at once.

His sister hadn’t been killed by a monster, so technically monsters had no reason to be the object of his hatred; yet he survived by slaughtering them. Without eradicating every monster from this world, he simply could not endure.

The salvation of humanity? He couldn’t care less. With power alone, he could erase those horrifying beings from existence.

Something worthy of being called an apocalypse had struck the world. Modern weapons proved useless against the deluge of creatures, and humanity fell in countless numbers. Half of the world’s population—billions—had perished.

People were forced to live without civilization, as if trapped in the plot of some apocalyptic disaster film. But since surviving alone was already overwhelming, no one dared to complain.

In those chaotic times, when screams for survival echoed everywhere, Cheon Shin Woo became the leader of his survivor group thanks to his awakening. Countless people clung desperately to him, begging for salvation—but Cheon Shin Woo paid them no mind.

The sole reason he still lived was revenge. His goal was to wipe from this world everything that had stolen his parents, killed his friends, and made his sister vanish. He could not live unless fueled even by hatred itself, so that was how he lived.

One day, Cheon Shin Woo heard rumors of the “Returnees”—people who had gone missing under strange circumstances and were now returning from another world.

He recalled his sister, who hadn’t died at a monster’s hands but had vanished engulfed in light.

If Returnees truly existed—if his sister was still alive—

perhaps she, too, might come back.
