Jin-Ah dreamed of becoming a medical doctor.
handiest till a few years ago, she simply cherished to waste time on video video games and stuff like that, but then, after their mother fell sick, she swore to come to be a medical doctor and never stopped analyzing considering.
Jin-Woo dearly needed to make her dream come authentic, irrespective of what.

“Oh, surely? Like? I didn’t recognise Oppa played video video games, although?”
Jin-Ah unexpectedly displayed an extreme hobby as a topic she become deeply intimate with as soon as upon a time changed into introduced up.
Jin-Woo sneaked a glance on the nevertheless-floating ‘message’ within the air and asked her.
“while there are unread messages in a recreation, what should I do get admission to them?”
“You gotta open the mailbox first.”
“I gotta ‘open’ the mailbox?”
Tti-ring!
As soon as Jin-Woo said the phrase ‘open’, a clear beep entered his head and the hidden messages found out themselves.
[There are two unread messages.]

Jin-Woo swallowed returned the things he desired to mention in the mean time.

To save you eyewitnesses intruding on him, he even locked the door. completing along with his arrangements, Jin-Woo sat on the mattress and examine the titles of the messages to be had to examine.
– Congratulations on turning into a [Player] (unread)
– [Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong] is now to be had. (unread)
He thought that the first message sounded familiar, as if he heard it before from someplace.
‘wherein have I heard it from? I understand i have.’
So, the first message, then.
– Congratulations on becoming a [Player] (unread)
‘confirm.’
Tti-ring!
[This System will support the growth of the ‘Player.’]
[Failing to comply with the System’s instructions will result in potential penalties.]

“Ahh.”
He belatedly remembered this.
He heard the ones words simply earlier than he lost his recognition.
‘again then, it was speakme approximately a player this and that, no?’
Of route, again then or maybe now, he nevertheless couldn’t truely recognize what on the earth changed into going right here.
The ‘machine’, ‘increase’, ‘consequences’, and subsequently, ‘rewards’.
The words with unknown meanings fell on his lap one after the opposite.
‘simply what will it assist grow, and what will it praise me with?’
Seeing the phrases that could handiest be discovered in a video game appearing earlier than his eyes with none previous motives, most effective served to confound him even in addition.
He decided to worry about the confusing phrases later and flippantly opened the following message.
– [Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong] is now to be had. (unread)

“Ha, haha….. seriously, man.”
should this be the feelings of unhappiness?
To suppose, what the grand-sounding every day Quest, the only titled ‘arrangements to come to be sturdy’, was not anything more than a listing of bodily sports to train his body….
nicely, for sure, if he did because the quest stated, then his frame might get a piece more difficult.
become this what that boom and praise element the machine was talking about?
‘Now that I reflect onconsideration on it….’
He recalled reading a quote of ‘someone with an internal trouble ought to take note of the internal voice’ from some ebook inside the past.
‘In other phrases, one might see what they wanted to look, sooner or later….’
just how desperately did he need to come to be more potent that he ended up seeing this stupid hallucination?
although it changed into funny, he also felt a piece lonely inner.
“If each person may want to grow to be stronger by using doing these physical games, who would be willing to undergo that a lot difficulty, then…?”
Jin-Woo shook his head.
He abruptly idea that he was a fool for looking for solutions to his many questions from a d*mn hallucination.
‘Urgh. I don’t care anymore.’
Jin-Woo lied down spread-eagled on the mattress. He wordlessly stared on the ceiling.
“…..”
He wasn’t doing anything critical, yet the time persisted to tick by means of.
simply as he began to sense the weight of the stillness filling up his health facility room….
Jin-Woo all of sudden raised his torso away from bed.
‘but, what if….’
What if some thing may want to trade?
As his mind were filled half of with the uncertain expectation and the other half of by unconvinced interest, he started thinking whether he need to at the least deliver ‘it’ a shot.
‘well, I’ve got not anything to lose, anyways.’
There could be no cause not to attempt it out, if he treated as a mild exercising to stretch his muscles or some thing, no?
He made up his mind.
‘exceptional. let’s try it.’
Jin-Woo climbed off the bed and stretched himself for a piece, earlier than leaning towards the nook of the mattress and slowly carried out the ‘press-up’.
“One, two, three…..”
The depend started out from ‘one’ and quickly climbed upwards.
“…..ninety seven, 98, 99, a hundred.”
considering that he started out this component, he decided to do all one hundred, but quite distinctive from his expectation, nothing befell when he turned into completed.
….apart from his arms aching only a little, that become.
“simply what the hell am I doing….”
Jin-Woo smirked helplessly and stood directly up.
– Congratulations on becoming a [Player] (examine)

The messages had been now marked as ‘examine’.
There were no more words of ‘unread messages’ doping up in his view, and he additionally didn’t sense like humouring this hallucination anymore, either
He had sufficient of this, in different phrases.
Jin-Woo closed the mailbox without remorse.
“Yawn….”
Jin-Woo yawned out at period and climbed back up at the mattress. He felt sleepy as though he had pushed himself too tough.
The sky outside the window changed into already dyed within the colors of the sunset.
‘It’s already this past due, huh.’
The tracking department marketers stated in advance that his medical institution charges would be sorted by means of the association.
He figured that it wouldn’t be too past due to depart after receiving a thorough examination of his frame and get the all-clear from the medical doctors first. Jin-Woo laid down readily even as wondering as such.
‘I’m positive these hallucinations and bizarre matters I hear will finally depart with time….’
His eyelids slowly closed shut. And Jin-Woo drifted away right into a deep slumber.
Tick, tock.
even when Jin-Woo turned into softly snoring to himself, the needles of the clock striking by means of the wall persevered to tick away.
The needles spun and spun around until they indicated eleven:59:fifty seven PM.
Tick, tock, tick.
58, fifty nine, 60….
The needles stopped shifting precisely as they touched 12:00:00.
Tti-ring.

Jin-Woo sat right up and grabbed the rims of the bed. The shaking turned into so terrible that he couldn’t hold his stability.
RUMBLE!!
The shaking were given regularly worse as the seconds ticked by using. It came about then.
*SFX for things becoming powder and falling to the ground*
one of the steel bars on the mattress he held on for expensive life all of sudden broke. No, it didn’t smash per se, but in reality ‘disappeared’. Jin-Woo hurriedly looked at his palm. No metal bar there, just grains of sand.

*SFX for matters turning into powder and falling to the floor*
the alternative steel bar additionally transformed into sand as nicely.
in the meantime, the ‘earthquake’ have become even greater violent.

He felt something smooth towards his fingertips. They befell to be ultra-pleasant grains of sand.
And the accursed earthquake had stopped.

Jin-Woo spat out the sand in his mouth and hurriedly raised his head up.
“….?!”
His eyes caught the sight on an endless simple of not anything but sand.
Jin-Woo frowned closely and were given up. all the sand that located its manner inside his clothes poured out. He dusted the sand caked on his chest while taking a look around him.
indeed, all he should see turned into sand. And greater sand.
“A wasteland….?!”
This couldn’t be actual.
till a few moments ago, he turned into sleeping on a bed interior a health center placed in the center of Seoul. but now, as quickly as he opened his eyes, he was inside the middle of a massive desolate tract?
Jin-Woo scooped up a handful of sand, and let it slip via his arms. The excellent grains fell immediately right down to the floor.
‘There is not a unmarried breeze right here.’
It wasn’t simply the breeze, although – when he raised his head as much as appearance, the sky didn’t have a solar, a moon, or any stars for that rely.
It became an empty sky, as though it became stuffed up with black ink and nothing else.
but, for a few purpose, he had no trouble seeing at all.
“simply where is that this area?”
