My master, Kim Man-seok, was someone who stood between the old humanity and the new humanity. Specifically, he belonged to the old humanity.
He was one of the survivors from the rapid changes during the "Canaan" project, where humanity built cities on the lands blessed by the Golden Lamb.
If he were still alive, he would be over 50 years old by now.
Most people in a situation similar to my master's became explorers. Just as heroes are born in times of chaos, they threw themselves into the outside world. Was it out of a sense of duty?
No, it probably wasn't just for such romantic reasons. Most likely, they harbored deep resentment toward the monsters roaming the outside world.
Unlike the new humanity, who were born in the lands blessed by the Golden Lamb and enjoyed relatively safe lives, the old humanity had likely lost loved ones like family, friends, and comrades to the monsters.
