### Life in Summary

After dying from the Tower of Nightmares, Kim Yoonhwan returned to his normal life. Since he survived longer than other Tower Walkers, he was the last to awaken from the Tower's induced coma. Before waking up, he forgot everything that transpired within the Tower, thus forgetting Jaehwan and Carpe Diem. Afterwards, the former Tower Walkers with faulty memory seals were kidnapped by apprentices of the Nightmare Union. All the former Products with memory seal issues were sent to Depth, the land of Gods and Vicegerents.

Kim Yoonhwan was kidnapped by Nightmare Apprentices, and placed in the Detention Center of Caspion, which is located in Depth. As he was marched into the detention cell, Jaehwan saw him. Jaehwan planned to attack the prison and save his friend, but he was dissuaded by Anderson. Reluctantly, Jaehwan decided to legally buy his friend's freedom. Before he could, Yoonhwan was illegally sold by the Warden and was purchased by Myad van Deklan, the Master of Rupture. After being bought, he was inducted into Rupture's ranks.

After being acquired by Rupture, Yoonhwan underwent Memory Recall, which would unlock all of the memories the Tower of Nightmares hid from him.  Soon after, 5th Caption Mirel placed Yoonhwan in the Great Disappearance Simulation, which forced Yoonhwan to kill imitations of his friends. They did this to awaken the Unique World [Sea of Blood, Mountain of Corpses.]  Yoonhwan failed the simulation 1954 times, and he never successfully completed it. His last attempt awakened his Unique World.

In the simulation, Yoonhwan killed the false versions of all his friends except Jaehwan. This information was revealed when Yoonhwan confronted Han Seoyul after his attempt to escape Rupture from the 5th Site.
