Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Today's morning sun was exceptionally bright and caused Seol Jihu to cover his face with his hand as he left the apartment complex.

However, that was the least of his problems. For some reason, he felt heavy, like a vessel about to overflow with water.

Unfortunately, it was not the fatigue caused by lack of restful sleep. Nor the immediate demand for money that followed a full day of gambling.

No, it was something more complicated and precarious. His soul was not far from collapsing due to the multiple annihilation abilities or zero-numbering he gained for no reason.

At that, Seol Jihu analyzed what that concept encompassed.

Annihilation abilities were those that gave their bearer the power to destroy an entire world or, conversely, become an invincible being that controlled it.

However, he could not stand idly by, confused as to how he could possess such abilities belonging to the universe of another web novel.

Otherwise, only death would await him.

Therefore, he began to search for solutions from the information he knew about two different universes that initially belonged to fiction.

Reincarnator and The Second Coming of Gluttony.

In the meantime, he headed toward his apartment, which was not far from Yoo Seonhwa's. So much so that it was unnecessary to use any vehicle to get around.

On the other hand, he did not go directly to apologize to his parents because, in that state, he did not have long to live; he knew that very well.

As in that world of absolute blackness, with a light screen at its center, it was almost like an instinct.

Besides, with everything he wanted to accomplish, he couldn't waste a second of what little time had left; like Noah, he also had another family to worry about.

And not long after, he was able to find an answer to his problem.

'Quite simply, I must become stronger. As fast as possible. Fast enough before my soul is shattered.'

It seemed like a simplistic solution, but it was the answer he needed to survive. Once again, knowing the plot ended up being really helpful, especially since he had perused the dozens of stories stored on his brother's phone.

Now, if he had to be more precise, he would inevitably be growing his various stats by getting stronger.

Referring thus to his physical and even magical qualities, such as: stamina, mana, and agility, among others.

Along with the growth of his stats, Seol Jihu would be able to bear the enormous burden of having seven annihilation skills. Both in body, soul, and spirit.

So, prolonging the duration of the candle flame about to be extinguished. But being the optimistic person he was, the situation did not depress him or make him despair, but rather motivated him to try even harder.

As he was about to arrive at his rented apartment, he stopped by a convenience store and bought something to eat, which filled his roaring stomach.

'Shit... I hope I can sleep'. Why, as night fell, a vestige of the Seol Jihu of the future would appeared in the past, which was now the present, like a dream.

Unexpected and uncontrollable situations could occur if he changed anything at this point, so he decided to keep everything as accurate as possible.

In the end, besides the annihilation abilities, the most significant advantage he had was the information about the coming events and other data.

For except for the feeling of heaviness derived from the zero-numbering skills, Seol Jihu was quite energetic.

It was due to the ability known as Immortal Soul.

This ability turns the user's body into that of an immortal. It can regenerate new tissue and life force, repair broken parts of one's body, and even regenerate lost limbs.

Essentially, it allows him to fight like a 'mad immortal' on the battlefield without worrying about wounds or stamina due to the extreme regeneration granted by the ability.

In addition, it raises the soul and body to the extreme. His main power is survival; he uses all skills and everything one has to survive. He can heal the soul with mana and create a base for Annihilation Skills to grow.

It was the determining factor that allowed him to stay alive.

Such was the case that without knowing how to use mana, the help and support that the skill currently provided him was still immense.

In any case, he finally arrived at his apartment. And the interior, like its owner, was a complete mess.

There were blankets thrown carelessly, dirty clothes on top of ramen boxes, empty liquor bottles on the floor, and cigarette packs lying next to them.

"... I don't have to clean this up, do I?" he questioned himself despite knowing the answer.

Seol Jihu reluctantly looked around the pigsty that he was reluctant to tidy up and then lay down on top of the bed, which, on the surface, was covered with a dirty blanket.

At least the smell was indifferent to him. Seol Jihu, or Noah, had the opportunity to smell something much worse than this.

Like, for example, a dumpster full of corpses, in which he even had to sleep for a few days. And when he compared this apartment with a worse past, his mood improved noticeably.

Unable to fall asleep quickly, he forced himself to do so with a technique used by the military to drop asleep in about two minutes.

Seol Jihu placed his arms and hands stretched out to the sides of his body and continued to relax his arms and hands. He imagined a feeling of relaxation going from his head to his fingertips. He took a deep breath and expelled the air slowly, relaxing his chest and stomach...

Soon, he fell asleep. At the same time, time passed smoothly. So the sun proceeded to set in the west.

Abruptly,

Bzzzz!

A slight buzzing sound was heard, and circular waves formed in the air. The ripples gradually gathered into a single point until they transformed into a blue fragment.

The fragment slowly fell towards Seol Jihu's forehead, finally ending in a crash.

The collision, which resembled a lover's kiss, gave way to the fragment sinking until it completely disappeared.
