Prologue
The Republic of Korea — the world's second-ranked superpower, and the nation that had gained more than any other since the Gate incident.
One day, portals known as Gates tore open and monsters came pouring through, and from that day on there were people who awakened powers alongside a Status Window. Having stared down the brink of annihilation, the Republic of Korea entered a second golden age.
And if one had to name the single greatest reason among many, it was a man who was both the Republic of Korea's number-one Hero and the number-one Hero in the entire world.
Snow.
His existence outweighed everything else.
Without this guy, a developed country? A shot at global hegemony? Forget it. Seoul would've already been wiped out and the country would've collapsed lol
For real, worshipping Snow once a day << that needs to be written into law...
He always kept his hood pulled low and his identity hidden, and he never stepped forward first. Only when a monster appeared that could truly end the Republic of Korea did he show himself — stop it in a breath, and slip away as if he had never been there at all.
1stKR Snow
Officially recognized through the Status Window. Number one on the world Hero rankings. A legendary Hero who operated only within the Republic of Korea, and whose identity not a single person knew.
A man like that.
Which is to say — me.
"Yep. Hello. I'll keep the fishing going today, too."
"Yep. Good night, everyone."
Watching the chat catch fire again today, I got ready to start the game stream, same as always. With my identity hidden, of course.
World rank number one. The single most influential person in the Republic of Korea... I don't need any of it.
I'll just do my stream...!
Thinking that, I went on living.
"Hello!!"
Until the day a woman — a regressor — walked into my life.
