TZLUP Prologue
Prologue When he opened his eyes, the boy thought it was snowing. Staring blankly, Jaekani watched the scene of heavy snowfall. A cold wind swept through the ashen sky, and faint touches brushed his cheeks and forehead. Only after sitting up did Jaekani realize that what he had mistaken for snowflakes was actually ash. When it touched his fingertips, it didn’t melt but crumbled away. Slowly, the boy rose to his feet. Dawn was breaking. Unlike the moonlight, sunlight unearthed every grim…-

TZLUP Chapter 9
Chapter 9 "Listen carefully, this problem is a bit long." "Number one, 'a.' Number two, 'c.' Number three, 'c.'" "……?" Jaekani turned the crumpled sheet over to check the back. It was just an ordinary piece of paper, not some magical 'see-through' sheet. Even if it were translucent, there was no way anyone could read it under dim candlelight without night vision like a predator’s. He was about to demand an explanation, but Huikyung spoke first. "Do the people around you…-

TZLUP Chapter 8
Chapter 8 “What the hell are you looking at me like that for, you little shit?” Jaebadi spat curses at the boy, who stayed silent, merely tying his shoelaces. Lifting his head slightly, Jaekani looked at his staggering father. The boy didn’t feel hatred for him. He wasn’t upset or disappointed, either. He pitied him—enough to understand even his self-loathing. Now that he was ready, it was time to leave. Jaekani stood up but hesitated, remembering the sandwiches he’d left under the…-

TZLUP Chapter 7
Chapter 7 “It doesn’t seem like that kind of thing.” A creature hunter? The ones who travel in groups, hunting creatures and taking commissions? Jaekani had seen them once. They were all hulking figures with bulging muscles, drinking alcohol as if it were water, and laughing loudly with booming voices. Hmm, no, no. Jaekani shook his head firmly. That’s not it. But then again, if it wasn’t some shadowy kind of occupation, what else could it possibly be? Still, Jaekani wasn’t…-

TZLUP Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Jaekani's questions gradually began to drift beyond the bounds of his homework. One day, while poring over his textbook, he stumbled upon a scribbled note he’d jotted down long ago—a question he hadn’t dared ask his teacher. Instead, he carried the book and his curiosity straight to Huikyung. In truth, it didn’t matter whether Huikyung answered. Simply chatting with him about anything made the time fly by. “I know the answer to this one, and I even know how to solve it,”…-

TZLUP Chapter 5
Chapter 5 "Don't you get bored being in there?" "That's right." The way Huikyung didn’t deny it made him seem even more at ease. Jaekani found himself wondering if there might be some cozy refuge hidden inside that shabby little cell—something he couldn’t see. Otherwise, how could the man seem so untroubled? Then again, Huikyung’s well-developed physique and commanding presence made it obvious that, no matter how confined he was, he wasn’t about to complain to a mere kid like…-

TZLUP Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Children with no classes often spent their days doing chores or playing around. Adults were generally lenient with preteens, even when assigning them tasks or errands. While hauling waste at the slaughterhouse, Jaekani straightened his back for a moment, trying to ease the ache that came from hours of stooping. His spine protested belatedly as though in retaliation for the prolonged strain. From somewhere nearby, the sound of children laughing echoed. Jaekani wiped the sweat off his brow…-

TZLUP Chapter 30
Episode 30 “Eat first, Huikyung.” “I’m not hungry.” “Then I’ll wait too.” Jaekani’s firm reply came as he propped his chin on his knees, his gaze fixed on the golden-brown fish grilling over the fire and the corn roasting beneath it. Yet, stubbornly, he refused to eat. His silent hunger strike left Huikyung exasperated. “Fine, I’ll eat, okay?” Letting out a resigned sigh, Huikyung set the half-repaired radio aside. He had been struggling with it for an entire day…-

TZLUP Chapter 3
Chapter 3 As Jaekani made his way back to the slaughterhouse, he braced himself for some harsh words. Passing by the dirty window, Jaekani caught a glimpse of himself. Covered in the blood and filth from the slaughterhouse, and having entered the abandoned building without even cleaning up, he looked exactly like a sewer rat. It wasn’t that he’d been lazing around, but he knew he wouldn’t be hearing anything positive when he returned. However, what awaited Jaekani was a disordered atmosphere…-

TZLUP Chapter 29
Episode 29 Jaekani snatched the radio like an eagle diving for prey, exhaling sharply. Taken aback by how easily it had been wrested from him, Huikyung was further startled when the boy looked ready to stomp it to pieces. Reacting quickly, Huikyung scooped Jaekani up into his arms. “What’s with you?” “It’s military gear, Huikyung!” “And?” Dangling like an agitated cat in his arms, Jaekani shouted, “The military… they take people away!” Soldiers took Espers. You’re an…-
