Student Jae Hyuk had a normal life... Alright, so maybe it wasn't that normal. He was constantly poor, working four jobs to take care of his little brother, Jae Hoon, who was terminally sick. They were happy. Until one night walking home, he catches an unexpected sight of a beautiful girl battling a monster across the sky. That night was the night he died, 'protecting' Serin from getting killed. For reasons unknown, Serin brings him back to life as an undead and her slave. Of course, it's not that easy. In accordance to the rules of Chaos - Serin's world - Jae Hyuk cannot live in the human world any longer- or he will die, or accidentally suck the remaining life out of his brother.
But leaving Chaos isn't easy as it seems- especially when being a very weak undead human sets off a chain of events that could end the very world. Which ancient family will become the immortal regis, and what does Jae Hyuk have to do with it? Jae Hyuk cares for nothing except returning home to his little brother, and needs power to get back to Earth. So when he unseals a powerful sentient weapon 'Diffor'...
