What Happened in The Hounds of Sisyphus Chapter 38? (Recap)
- The Perimeter Breach: In the previous chapter, the situation quickly deteriorated, as a new group of wandering undead, those who have no goal in life, tested the boundaries of the Hounds’ defense of Stillwater Town.
- Guwon’s Dominance: To deal with this matter on his own, Pyo Guwon came to display his terrifying power. The younger citizens were terrified and intimidated by his imposing and ‘Frankenstein’ look, and his ruthless effectiveness.
- Jinwoo’s Affliction: In his case, he’s still having some weird memories and nosebleeds, which strongly suggests that his body is linked with whatever weird, evil thing is going on with Guwon.
- The Cliffhanger: The last shot was Jinwoo sneaking around a secret corner of the community while he was cornered by one of the Hounds, who seemed quite suspicious of him. As everything seemed to take a sudden turn for the worse, Guwon’s imposing shadow hung menacingly in the doorway.
What Are the Spoilers for The Hounds of Sisyphus Chapter 39?
- Guwon’s Intervention: The Hounds of Sisyphus Chapter 39 will start with Guwon protecting Jinwoo with all his might. He will let his subordinates know, in a terrifying way, that there’s only one person who is off-limits – Jinwoo – and he will have absolute authority over the militia.
- A Glimpse of the Past: The fighting will be intense, and also cause a much-awaited flashback, providing readers an insight into Guwon’s ruthless and arrogant history prior to the world’s descent into apocalyptic devastation.
- The Town’s Dark Secret: After being rescued, Jinwoo will ask questions about the restricted area. Guwon will most likely be a liar with a sinister and darker facet of Stillwater Town’s strict “fairness above all” mentality that has kept the community alive.
- A Deepening Bond: It’s an incredibly detailed art style and there’s some pretty awesome artwork so the scene is going to be pretty beautifully drawn and super tense as Jinwoo tries to understand Guwon’s monstrous nature develops into a passionate possessive thing that happens between the two.

Synopsis
The series follows the story of a dark romance between two worlds that is destroyed by the rise of the dead, the roving, rambling, unruly, and uncivilized dead. This is the tale of a man who nearly died, rescued by an enigmatic, extremely intimidating Pyo Guwon. Taken to the idyllic yet vastly disquieting town of Stillwater by Guwon and his armed militia, the Hounds, Jinwoo must balance a community where everything is fair and holds a brutal secret. Jinwoo is tormented by a mysterious illness in his body as his bond with his savior turns possessive and dangerously complicated, with hidden secrets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is wrong with Guwon’s physical appearance?
Guwon’s character design has a lot of lines that look like stitches throughout his body, causing him to look somewhat like a Frankenstein creation. The nature of these marks, either deep scars or blackout tattoos, are yet to be deciphered, but they definitely suggest he is not quite human anymore and add to his sinister and monstrous presence.
Are the rising dead typical zombies?
The undead in this series are not the fast running or flesh eating zombies that are common in other series. But their numbers and the overall collapse of society was sufficient to ensure that the world was spiraling through devastation and survivors were kept alive by the stringent and militant control of factions such as the Hounds.
