After brushing db85b18cca his teeth adb0b2be0e and washing b0471eeea2 his face, 84174b7e32 Haseong used f691354f4f a towel 23581ba1b0 to dry 11e4586f54 off the 848060c454 water on 50b7aa6a38 his face.

“Ah… what have you been eating to survive? Seriously.”6e4481d71aef8ad9

He wondered if the original protagonist’s life had been this bleak and lacking, but he couldn’t remember clearly. The only memory he had was that the protagonist lived a tumultuous and relatively flashy life from the beginning of the novel. This dream felt completely mismatched with the protagonist’s life. At that moment, Haseong began to suspect he might not be the protagonist after all. Was he just another character? Perhaps an insignificant extra? He didn’t know why he was dreaming this, but he hoped that if he were to dream again, he’d at least be the protagonist next time.cbd404f4b4e8f4af

The fridge in the kitchen was practically empty. There wasn’t even a single bottle of water. The reason for the absence of bottled water became apparent when he looked at the sink, which had a water purifier installed. Opening the cupboard, he found instant ramen, which was a small consolation. Checking the expiration date just in case, he was relieved to find it was still valid. His stomach growled audibly at the thought of eating ramen—a loud, realistic sound that didn’t feel like it belonged in a dream.a9407a98b66053b6

Haseong cooked the ramen and brought the pot to the dining table before it was fully done. He grabbed a chunk of noodles and shoved it into his mouth. It was hot, but the spicy ramen was incredibly tasty. The unfortunate part was that this body seemed to have a very small stomach. He barely ate half the ramen before feeling full. This was shocking compared to his real body’s capacity to devour three bowls of ramen with ease.f94d7561328ce45a

Team Leader Kim Taeyoon’s voice was dripping with irritation. He sounded angry about having to call Haseong in the first place.6917edaa764500c4

Haseong rolled his eyes. He didn’t know the 01f8ea797a exact time, but it ae2a563aaa seemed there was a 2855e10173 set work schedule.

Before Haseong could 54e65ae639 finish speaking, the 1b1eca8c7f line was disconnected 8062594bd6 with a series 7bd5f3b605 of beeps. The abruptness b8e19fc6a0 was almost 232604293c comical, and f9cdc7fc1c he let 318a439c7b out a ea72d4fc64 scoff. Checking the phone, 503931c187 he realized it 65b8b9b59a was already past c5e11c2c4f 10 a.m. He had a40e7df36e glanced at 19a9f6c710 the time 581367ae93 earlier while 5da31bdc38 checking contacts c7927eda05 but hadn’t 475605ed48 paid attention.

Another problem baca6a5856 arose once 7d28cbffc0 he got 77ac4dbbce inside—he had bba7146714 no idea 4d92961c9a where the 3f2f824b0c 6th Team’s e22470d6ec office was.

Feeling like a complete 23bb08f196 newbie, he found the 6c4f1cc9ec mood dampening.

Espers, who were praised for possessing godlike abilities, had one significant flaw: the more they used their powers, the more their bodies deteriorated. The energy, called “waves,” within their bodies would become tangled, causing pain and even physical damage. When an Esper reached their limit, they would experience a state called “rampage,” where their powers would spiral out of control.c78a4073a84d2d12

The only ones capable 3f0c6a5bb8 of stopping an Esper’s daf95ecfc3 rampage were Guides.

The lives of 0776715249 Espers described in d8dc3fdc59 the novel were 5f3b38a552 harsh and grueling.
