SYSTEM MALFUNCTION: THE NECROMANCER'S REVENGE
Yuna Park was the perfect daughter, the devoted girlfriend, the selfless sister who gave everything. On Day Zero of the apocalypse, when the world turned to ash and the dead rose hungry, she awakened a System like everyone else—a chance to survive, grow stronger, kill zombies for rewards. Her fiancé Minho awakened an S-Rank Hunter System. Her step-sister Sera got an A-Rank Healer System.
Yuna? She got Error Code 404: System Malfunction.
No stats. No skills. No way to level up. Useless in a world where power meant survival.
Minho didn't hesitate. He took Sera's hand and left Yuna behind as zombie bait, stealing the supplies Yuna had gathered. "Sorry babe, but I need someone who can actually contribute. Dead weight gets you killed."
Yuna should have died in that convenience store, torn apart by the undead. Instead, something else awakened. Something the System couldn't categorize. Something ancient and furious.
The zombies knelt before her.
Three months later, Yuna Park is the Ghost of Seoul—a mysterious SSS-Rank survivor who controls the dead themselves. No one knows her face. No one knows her power. They only know she's building an army that makes seasoned Hunters flee in terror.
Kang Jiwon, the infamous Ice King Commander of the Seoul Safe Zone, is the only one who isn't afraid. Ruthless, powerful, devastatingly beautiful, he's spent three months eliminating threats with surgical precision. His SSS-Rank Weapon Master System makes him unstoppable. His traumatic past makes him trust no one.
When he finally corners the Ghost in an abandoned hospital, expecting a monster, he finds a goddess with dead eyes and a smile that could cut diamond.
"Commander Kang," she says, surrounded by a hundred kneeling corpses. "I've been waiting for you."
She has a proposal: help her destroy the people who left her to die, and she'll give him the one thing his System can't provide—an army that never tires, never betrays, never dies.
He should refuse. She's dangerous. Unstable. Everything his logic screams to eliminate.
But when she looks at him with those haunted eyes, Jiwon realizes he's not facing a monster.
He's facing someone who was broken the same way he was.
And for the first time since the world ended, the Ice King feels something thaw.
