[You are the new constellation of realm #381jh051.]
As if it wasn’t enough to have entered the world of a novel, I became a constellation.

To make matters worse, the guy who was stuck in the elevator with me was the problem.

This man is the enemy of mankind, someone who turned evil in the novel and destroyed the world.

‘Wasn’t one of the reasons why he turned evil was that he wasn’t chosen by the constellations?’

But now that this has happened, I have no choice but to sponsor Baek Tae-beom and get out of here!

Nineteen-year-old Kim Geonho was physically enhanced and time-warped into the 23rd century. For fifty painful years, he devoted himself to stop the apocalypse in the future before returning to the present as his nineteen-year-old self. The dangerous future was prevented, and no one knew of the suffering he endured. No one knew about the hero he had become. Now, the hero just wanted to rest. ... more>>

The hero wanted to die.

It would take a hundred days for his enhanced cells to fully die. Kim Geonho, given this hundred-day grace period before his death, decided to spend it in boredom and peace. But then, the boy he had a crush on before he left for the future appeared before him: Yeo Haejung. His first love from when he was nineteen.

“When you keep thinking about someone, curious about them and feel awful because that person seems so unreachable... that’s a sign you like them.”

“...”

“If this assumption is correct, then that means I like you.”

My heart. It feels like it’s about to stop.

“It’s a bit confusing, though. This is the first time I’ve felt this way about a guy. What about you? Do you not like guys?”

“...”

“No, wait. Let me ask again. Do you not like me?”

There’s no way I could dislike him. But I wanted to run away. The idea that Yeo Haejung liked me—this was something I had never anticipated. The one thing I had been most worried about in our relationship was the possibility of him finding out about my feelings. This was an unexpected development.

Kim Geonho likes Yeo Haejung. That’s a fact. But the other way around? It wasn’t supposed to work like that. It shouldn’t work like that. I wanted to run away from the feeling and from the weight of his intangible gaze pinning me down. I am someone who will disappear, and Yeo Haejung is someone who will remain. If I could just quietly let go of my feelings and fade away, this relationship would have ended with no complications. But why...

“Geonho...”

Why do you... like me?

“Do you not like me?”

Why are you trying to pull me into your world? <<less

He barely manages to get an audition for a famous director's film, hoping to land even a small role, but before his most confident acting is even over, he receives the harsh criticism that "he can't use acting that just imitates others" and fails.

It’s been twenty years since “Gates,” disaster zones infested with monsters, and “Newtypes,” a new human race of psychics, appeared.... more>>

Each nation has struggled in its own way to reclaim peace. They established the Deschement Center, an international organization that manages Gates worldwide, and appointed high-ranking Newtypes as “Sentinels.”

The strongest Sentinel, without question, is the S-Class Newtype Jae Chaui (在此矣). His name means “I am here,” and like the name implies, he reigns as a timeless, invincible hero and absolute force—never aging, never injured, never fading.

Meanwhile, in the ruined corners of the world, lives Song Morae, an E-Class Guide barely surviving a life as barren as a desert. His everyday existence, filled with contempt and oppression, is poor and pale.

So when the Deschement Center offers him a job—and even claims he has been selected as an S-Class Guide, the new partner of Jae Chaui—it’s almost beyond belief.
