5-ish years have passed ever since the event known as “The Illumination” swept past the oceans. This event eliminated 99.996942099% of all life, leaving the remaining humans to be numbered in the hundred thousands. The event also reshaped the geography of the entire world. Seeing all this chaos, more harbingers decided to take advantage of the situation and return to Earth in order to hire more people to do their jobs. The remaining 0.03% of the population are forced to live off the scraps of the destroyed world and become contractors in order to earn the gifts required to survive in society.

The contractors of Gayeong are the only people who know how the world came to be; They are the only ones with the knowledge of the Demon King. The contractors were disheartened to continue their journey, especially now that Gayeong was killed along with the billions of others during the illumination. The guilt the contractors felt was devastating and it caused them to retire. They know that they couldn’t bring their parents back. They know that they failed the entire world. And they do not know what the Demon King has left in his plan.

But not all hope is lost, As a harbinger with a kind heart by the name of Jonathan, knows of a way to stop the Demon King. All he asks for first is to complete 3 of his contracts to get the materials to beat the Demon King. This small bit of hope the man, Jonathan, has promised gave the contractors hope to continue their journey with a new goal. Instead of just saving their parents, they are out there to save the entire world
