"There is no God left in this world."
"Only sin remains — and it never forgives."
The ruins of a once-great city groaned under a blood-red sky.
On the edge of the broken skyline, a lone man stood beneath a flickering streetlamp.
A black coat hung loosely on his shoulders. His boots were worn. His hands were stained with ash and dried blood.
And in his eyes — emptiness.
[SYSTEM REBOOTING…]
[Target: Jiwoon]
[Sin Points: Beyond Measurable Threshold]
He lit a cigarette, exhaled slowly.
"Still not done with me, huh?"
20 years ago, the world changed.
The "Sin System" was born — judging every human by their sins.
Points were assigned.
Low score = Virtuous.
High score = Condemned.
But sin became more than guilt. It became currency.
Sin could buy power, status, even life itself.
And Jiwoon… was the one who hunted that currency down.
He was a Debt Hunter.
But not for his own sins.
He devoured the sins of others — and weaponized them.
[WARNING: Demon Threshold Approaching]
[Suggestion: PURGE or AWAKEN Sin Storage]
[Suppression may lead to instability.]
He ignored the system's cold voice.
Instead, he stared at his own hands — trembling slightly.
Something inside him was stirring.
Then — a scream pierced the silence.
He turned.
A back alley. A man in a white mask dragging a girl by the wrist.
A Sin Hacker — someone who erased their own Sin Score to escape detection.
Jiwoon stepped forward without hesitation. His presence alone warped the air.
"You think you can hide from sin?"
The masked man sneered.
"You're just some freak who collects other people's guilt."
Jiwoon didn't reply.
Instead, his shadow began to move.
It stretched unnaturally beneath him — widening, swirling — then crystallized into a Judgment Sigil.
[Sin Extraction Initiated]
The hacker screamed as images surged from his body —
Memories of torment. Of victims. Of cruelty cloaked in laughter.
Jiwoon absorbed it all — and more.
The pain. The fear. The weight of unspoken sins.
"Your sins… I'll carry them."
"But your punishment… you'll take every last second of it."
The hacker charged. Jiwoon raised a single finger.
[Sin Technique: Black Restraint]
Chains of ink shot from the ground — binding the man midair.
His mask shattered. His screams echoed through the alley.
[Sin Points Acquired: 87]
[Total: 890]
[Sin Avatar Awakening: 89%]
Jiwoon turned away, eyes calm.
"Next."
