Episode 1. Admission(1)
One.
It is said that when a person is born, he sleeps for one-third, works for one-third, and walks for one-third.
So, I tried splitting 24 hours into thirds.
I tried sleeping and even walking. I couldn’t accept this situation, so as soon as I woke up, I grabbed the person who was looking at me with a lovely face and tried to talk to them.
Of course, this is all from the first episode.
After losing my mind for a moment, I came out to the living room and spoke while enjoying the dinner my mother had prepared.
“Of course, the food my mother cooks is the best.”
I looked at the middle-aged woman in front of me, my mother, with a satisfied expression on her face.
My mother will now say this.
‘Oh my, has our Siwoo grown up just now? Why do you call me mother?’
“Oh my, has our Siwoo grown up just now? “Why did she call me mother?”
I would answer that question like this.
“I can’t lift iron because it’s heavy.”
“… … “Yeah, yeah.”
Thank you, Mom, for accepting your son’s jokes.
After living here for the second time, I now truly felt like this person was my mother.
I knew that this was a world in a novel, and I also knew that the person in front of me was a character and not a real person.
But after repeating it twice and watching it for the third time, I couldn’t help but feel attached to it.
Lee Si-woo.
I thought to myself once again about the name that was now mine.
One of the extra characters that appears in the second part of ‘Aise’, commonly known as ‘The World After the Apocalypse’, was Lee Si-woo.
And I was a talentless writer named Lee Do-yoon, who possessed this character and lived as a web novel writer in real life.
The reason why I was possessed by the character in Part 2 is because the original novel was divided into Parts 1 and 2.
It was the latter part of Part 2 when I received the ghostwriting offer.
All I had to do was look at the ending, but the author of ‘Ise’ put that off to me, so I got into the novel.
“I guess Siwoo is tired because of the entrance ceremony tomorrow.”
Mother said.
‘Not at all. I’ve already experienced this entrance ceremony twice.’
I thought this to myself, but the answer that came out of my mouth was different from what I thought.
“Yes, I think so. “I think I should go in and go to bed early.”
“Okay, I have to leave early tomorrow morning, so get some rest. “This mom always supports Siwoo!”
“Yes, mother. thank you.”
“Our Siwoo, now that he’s a high school student, he’s all grown up.”
“After graduating from high school, I will make sure to become a great person and help you improve.”
I went back to my room, leaving my mother in the living room, who was moved by my words.
I looked at the full-length mirror in my room and sighed.
“I have to grow this body again… … .”
I just sighed.
Lee Si-woo, a character with a slim body and the only thing he’s good at is opening his mouth.
In the first episode, I had a hard time following the main character with this weak body.
“But in the second round, it was bumpy thanks to our hard work… … .”
I sat down at my desk thinking I could do it this time too.
There was a lot to do tonight.
“The content of the original work, the content of the first episode, and even the content of the second episode.”
I was planning on writing it all down.
Human memory wasn’t as clear, and when we got back to the start line, that was when our memory was at its best. I had to finish this job.
Unlike the first and second rounds, this time there were hints provided by the system, so it was more advantageous.
I started writing down everything that happened before I returned on my smartphone.
2.
The year was 2030 when the world turned into an apocalypse. It is 2050, 20 years later, in the post-apocalyptic world.
It was as if I had fallen from 2020 to 30 years into the future.
“Whew, I barely wrote it all down.”
I stayed up all night, organizing everything that happened in the first and second rounds on my phone, and then moved my groggy body around.
“Then let’s check.”
How unsightly I have become.
The first thing to do was to check my condition again.
“First, the status window.”
As the title of the novel suggests, Part 2 of the original novel, ‘Ise,’ deals with the world after the apocalypse was saved.
Therefore, the world after the apocalypse was set to be a world where status windows disappeared.
Tiring.
However, when I muttered that it was a status window, a translucent window appeared in the air.
It was because of this that I mistakenly thought I was the main character during the second episode.
[Lee Si-woo]
-Title: Returner
-Talent: Hwanan
-Grade: F grade
(Lee Do-yoon)
-Title: Possessor
-Talent : ???
-Rating : ???
Two status windows appeared before my eyes.
One was Lee Si-woo’s status window in the novel that I possessed, and the other was my status window in the real world.
“I guess I’ll have to put the two together first.”
During the first time, I was surprised to see that there was a status window, so I clicked on it and the two status windows merged into one.
So, I first tried Lee Si-woo’s talent, Hwanan.
Then an explanation about the illusion appeared.
[Hwan-Eye (晥眼)]
– It is a talent that allows you to see everything clearly.
“If you really look at the content of the ability, it seems like a useless ability.”
The grade is also F. He appears to have a cheap ability, but in reality, it’s not like that at all.
Because I couldn’t understand why Lee Si-woo, who has such abilities, was the main character and the supporting characters.
Probably because he wasn’t the ‘main character’ of the novel.
After examining the eye, I next looked at the status window with the name Doyoon Lee.
“It will be the same talent this time, right?”
While mumbling to myself, I pressed ‘???’.
Then a system message appeared in front of my eyes.
[Would you like to gain talent? (Y/N)]
“of course.”
I clicked ‘Yes’. Then the system messages started chattering.
[Error occurred, error occurred. Lee Do-yoon… Lee Si-woo… It’s the same person. … Talent… Additional acquisition.]
The system message went on and off repeatedly and eventually reappeared.
Originally, due to the setting of this novel, each person could only acquire one talent.
Therefore, a system error occurred.
Since this was already my third time seeing it, I looked at my status window coming together with an unimpressed expression.
[Lee Si-woo (Lee Do-yoon)]
-Title: 3rd Returner (Possessor)
-Talent: Vision, transference
-Grade: F grade, EX grade
-Characteristic: Quick judgment.
“I was wondering what would happen if things changed. Fortunately, it’s still the same.”
Except that the title was changed from 2nd to 3rd, the status window was the same.
The main character of Part 2, an EX-level talent that is superior to the talent possessed by Yoon Mir.
I gained that talent.
I clicked ‘Transfer’ to see if the talent description had changed.
[Transition]
– When you are attacked physically or by ability by an awakened person with talent, you can ‘transfer’ the awakened person’s talent and put it into a slot.
-Slots of obtainable talents (0/7)
-However, use of the acquired talent is limited to one time.
-Even if a talent has been used once, the talent filled in the slot can be used multiple times when exposed to that talent again.
“It’s the same.”
You have to be attacked to transfer the other person’s talent. What kind of crappy ability is this?
Of course, it was a very good ability if you used it well.
The story goes that the more you get hit, the more talent you can acquire.
“It means that if I get hit just once by the main character, I can receive the main character’s talent.”
Although there was a limit of one time use, repeated use was possible.
Considering that he used this ability to win in the second round, it was a good enough ability.
“… “It was a problem the second time around because there were a lot of guys who accused me of having strange tastes.”
You just have to be careful the 3rd time.
3.
Although I stayed up all night, I looked at the rising morning sun with a relieved heart.
“It’s almost time for my mother to come to wake me up… … .”
The moment I thought that, I heard my mother’s voice.
“Siwoo~ Wake up! “I have to go to school!”
“Yes, mother! “I’m leaving!”
I was tired because I had stayed up all night, but my mind was clear.
I went outside when my mother called.
Today was the day Lee Si-woo entered Awakened High School.
When I came out, I saw a sumptuous feast prepared by my mother.
He prepared a lot of food starting from the morning.
“Why did you prepare so much?”
“If I go in today, I won’t be able to see it until the weekend… … .”
In response to my mother’s answer, I sat down at the table and picked up a spoon.
“thank you for this food.”
Although it was my third time eating rice, the rice my mother always made was so delicious.
She was a mother I could not help but feel attached to.
4.
After finishing my meal, I got into my mother’s car and headed to the high school I was going to enter.
I frowned when I saw the banner saying ‘Awakened High School’ hanging above the school gate.
It was already my third time attending high school.
Here I meet the key characters of Part 2 of ‘Ise’.
I recalled the hint the system gave me.
‘In the third episode, we all chachacha together… … .’
The main character should not be the only one to monopolize the story, and I should not be the only one to monopolize it.
I had to rush towards the ending with my friends.
‘But why did you give a hint in this episode?’
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
I think this might be the last episode.
“Siwoo, are you okay?”
My mother asked me with a worried look, as if she could see that my expression was not good.
“Ah yes. “I guess I was a little nervous.”
“There’s nothing to worry about because it’s Awakened High School! Do it as usual! “Mom believes that our Siwoo will do well!”
Seeing my mother’s sparkling eyes, I nodded silently.
My mother can say things like that because she doesn’t know what will happen over there.
Awakened High School was the school where most of the main story of the original work took place.
When I thought about what would happen in the future, my eyes became dark, but I gathered my composure.
This was something I had already experienced twice. There was no difference three times.
‘Let’s think this is the last time and do our best.’
I said as I got out of the car, thinking I could do it.
“Then I’ll be back.”
“Yes, our Siwoo! Go for it! “Don’t forget to keep in touch from time to time even in the dormitory!”
“Yes, mother.”
“Please contact my dad too!”
“yes.”
I bowed my head in greeting and closed the car door.
My father, during the second episode, I never saw my father.
Considering that he did not appear in the original work, it appears that he was a character of little importance.
Suddenly realizing that my mother was living alone for the third time, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to see my father’s face the third time.
As I watched the car my mother was riding in drive away, I turned my head and looked at the main gate of Awakened High School.
Most of my colleagues who are needed to see the ending are entering this school with me today.
I had the experience of living through the first and second rounds.
By using these experiences, readers will be able to see the ending they want this time.
I will definitely succeed this time.
With that promise in mind, I walked into Awakening High School.
