Chapter 21 It was just as I was about to gape at him in utter disbelief. Railey was about to toss the lunchbox carelessly into the back seat, but my hand forcibly stopped him. When I tried to take the lunchbox back, saying that one would be punished by heaven for treating food carelessly, he clicked his tongue irritably. “It is suspicious that you are trying so desperately to eat something made by someone other than me.” “Do you want to claim ownership of my stomach too?” “If…-

Chapter 20 My resolve was clear, but in reality, the things I could do were mostly limited. I am a woman in my twenties with poor physical health, a freelancer who earns less than minimum wage from royalties and has had more years of receiving tax refunds than paying taxes, and on top of that, I have been a student for eight years. I have no money, no health, no time, and naturally, even less power. Fortunately, I have an absurdly capable helper from another world nearby, but there was…

Chapter 19 Whether I screamed or not, Dr. Jeong Sihoon remained as calm and cold as always. “I understand that when the day you sent out the settings that had only existed in Kim Ajin’s head happened to coincide with something similar actually happening, you couldn’t help but think badly of it. But if you take it that way, doesn’t it mean that no one in the world should even be allowed to think carelessly? If you’re going to say something like that, write it first before you…

Chapter 18 Jeong Sihoon returned around that time. Judging by how pale he looked when he came back, just as pale as he had been before falling asleep, it seemed that it still wasn't the right time for him to use his ability again. Still, perhaps he had accepted the situation calmly. He slowly came over, sat down, and opened his lunchbox. As he did so, he glanced toward me. “I told you to eat first.” “I was eating.” “Nothing has gone down at all.” “I really was. I was…

Chapter 17 Without knowing what was going on in my mind, Railey did not contact me until late at night, probably because he was still dealing with the situation around Songpa. In the meantime, Dr. Jeong Sihoon came back first. He seemed to have come to retrieve the things he had left with me. I absentmindedly raised my head, and without thinking much, I noticed that his face was a dark, leaden color. He did not look like a living person at all. At this rate, I thought he might…

Chapter 16 3. No Matter How Much I Think About It, There Is No Way My Character Would Fall in Love It was late that evening when the situation finally began to calm down. It had already been quite some time since Dr. Jeong Sihoon could no longer activate his ability, no matter how hard he tried to squeeze it out, and the various problems in different places were slowly being dealt with, at least roughly, by people who had awakened new abilities in each area. In fact, one could say that the…

Chapter 15 SIDE OUT: Kim Ajin I admit that I have a tendency to run away well. I also know that I am a pathetic person who cannot easily accept a situation and is afraid to face problems. I do dislike myself for being like that, but since I have lived my whole life as this kind of person, I had already made up my mind long ago that I would have to live with this version of myself for the rest of my life. Ridiculously enough, I had a novel-like romance in a “world inside a novel,” so I thought I…

Chapter 14 While everyone else ran toward wherever Dr. Jeong Sihoon was, I started moving in the opposite direction. I watched the broadcasting station crew who had been filming this miserable lobby follow the medical staff in that direction, while I hurried toward the hospital’s main entrance instead. I had no intention of feeling guilty about something I hadn’t caused. But separate from that, I felt like there was at least something I had to do. Even if this world hadn’t…

Chapter 13 It was such a busy hour that I could barely understand what was happening around me. I had to follow Dr. Jeong Sihoon around, doing whatever he told me to do and running around without a moment to breathe. After making one full round of the nearby area and giving emergency treatment to the survivors we found, we finally stayed beside a patient who seemed beyond saving, keeping them company out of respect, before getting into an ambulance together. “I think this patient is…

Chapter 12 I lowered the screen and was about to start searching the internet again when the phone suddenly began ringing loudly. Since I was already extremely tense, I was startled without even realizing it. “Gah, what the hell? You scared me. Hello!” ―Kim Ajin! Are you okay? “Mo-Mom?” ―Judging by that dazed voice, I guess you don't even know what's going on! Turn on the news right now! Where are you? Don't tell me, but... are you in Sinchon? “Ah, no, no.” I…
