Synopsis

With the emergence of Dungeons, came the existences known as Awakeners. They were people who received special abilities to face the dire times and challenge the dungeons.  And it was always up to Restorers to clean up the ensuing damage left in the wake of these disasters.

Jung Yisun was a Restorer with the power to rebuild collapsed cities. As the only S-class restorer in Korea, he was loved and admired by everyone, but he suddenly disappeared one day.

Leaving his past behind, he goes into hiding deep in the ruins of a forgotten city, until one day, S-class Hunter Sa Hyeon comes to him with an offer…

“Let’s make a deal, shall we?”

“I’m not interested, so please stop following me!”

Jung Yisun tried to refuse the dubious yet persistent attempts, but he underestimated just how far the S-class hunter was willing to go to have him on their team.

“Those corpses that you’re carrying, I’ll kill them for you.”

Standing on the edge of despair, Yisun’s only option was to take Sa Hyeon’s hand…

  1. Ohmygod OHMYGOD FINALLY??? SOMEONE TRANSLATING THE NOVEL!!! NO MORE MTL FOR ME?? 🥺🥺 TY SO MUCH TLER NIM!! 🥹🥺🥹🥺🥹

  2. YESSSSS I’m so psyched this got picked up!!!! Thank youuuuu 🥺💕🙏

  3. Yessss I’m so happy I finally found the novel for this manhwa! Thank you for translating, I couldn’t find it anywhere

  4. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS NOVEL. I ALREADY READ A BIT OF THE MANHWA AND I WAS HOOKED! THANK YOU SO MUCH DEAR TRANSLATOR <3

  5. Just one question. Shouldn’t the ML name be Sa Hyun since his family name is Sa and first name Hyun?

    P.S. I really like how you use the Korean naming order instead of a western one since, at the end of the day, this is a Korean novel with background setting in Korea and doing it this way makes the story much more immersive.

    • Hello~~ You’re right!! I already talked about this under the first chapter but I actually felt (and still feel) quite torn about the naming… As a translator, I’d rather follow the order and spelling of the Korean names,i which case, the names would be Sa Hyun and Jung Yisun… But since in the official english translation of the manhwa adaptation, the names were changed into Hyeon Sa and Yiseon, i decided to stick with it to cause less confusion for readers who would like to continue reading the novel after finishing the comic chapters… But if you guys would prefer I use the Korean order, it’s a bit of extra work and editing, but i would be more than glad !
      Edit: I self-indulgently permitted myself to change Hyeon Sa into Sa Hyeon for consistency… and for my own sanity.
  6. Aaaahhhhhh…… Finally!!! I’ve been following the manhwa and I’m so glad that the novel is finally getting translated. Thank you! I’m looking forward to it!

  15. Thank you! I enjoy the manhwa in manta cómics but was hoping to read the novel and here it is!!!!! Yay 😊👍🏼🎉

  16. !!!!!I’ve always wanted to read a bl version of reverse isekai genre but couldn’t find one. A redditor recommended me the manga version of this and it was… lets say the first parts were really taking that depression thing deep but its the first one that i’ve read with reverse iseka so i was fine with it! Now i see this here! Thank you for the translations!!!

  17. Thank you so much for translating this novel!! I was hoping you guys would pick it up!! <3 I loved the adaptation so I look forward to readin the novel now!!😍

  18. I would super recommend putting this behind a password. If it gets taken down by a DMCA notice, I’m gonna go feral. I looove this comic and I’ve been praying for someone to pick up the novel! Thank you for heeding the call, LOL. [hunkers down happily]

    • It seemed your prayers have reached me somehow (つ●☌ω☌●)つ♥

      Also… I’ve been considering a password lock for a while now, but didn’t want to hinder everyone’s reading experience too much so I’m hesitating… Hmm but i wouldn’t want it to get taken down either so I guess I’ll do that soon…༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽

  19. The cover is stunning!! I was genuinely stunned to see it since it’s one of the few novel covers I’ve seen that can accurately portray how the novel will be like without even reading it yet ~♡

    • Yess, I’m amazed you notiiiced?! the cover is beautiful, and perfectly captures the essence of the novel ;-;, the ruins, the falling Yisun, his expression, the clever use of the sun and the shadows, and the hand clutching his 😩🌸

  20. Working through what is up of the manhwa of this but I’ll be back here as I wanna read the novel as well. Will definitely donate to your Kofi when I start reading too! 👍

  21. I finished reading the whole thing. I couldn’t stop myself from immersing myself in spite of my desire to read it slowly. I still wanted more.😞🫶 Thanks for translating it
