Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 24

In a world where I lost my family, lost my friends, and kept losing everything, the world turned upside down—some cherished their family more than their own lives, while others abandoned even their kin, wishing only to survive themselves.

On days when someone died, wails echoed through the air—heart-wrenching cries mourning the loss of family, close friends, and relatives.
