Decades later, a dimensional collapse resets the first floor—and quietly, unnoticed by the world, a boy walks out alive. Or so it seems. Han Joon-seok was an F-rank hunter, abandoned by his guild and left for dead. But what returns to the world… isn’t him. It’s something else. Something that shouldn’t exist outside the Tower. Now, in the heart of Seoul, that same “boy” opens a shop. He sells weird, rusted swords and broken tools—junk to most. But the truth is, every item he sells is a legendary relic stolen from the Tower’s vaults, cursed or blessed by gods long forgotten. And as hunters, guilds, and even monsters start taking notice, one thing becomes clear: The boss of Floor One didn’t die. He just got a business license. Join Han Joon-seok on a journey that blends comedy, slice of life, and cosmic horror, as he learns what it means to be human, wrestles with his past, and runs a shop that could reshape the world. Or destroy it.
