Jung Hyun-woo, he wasn't very close to studying.

It was when he became a Korean professional baseball player, not only did he become close to playing numbers, which hurt him just by listening to analysis, calculation, and probability.

"The arrest is 135 kilometers at best. He's not the type to throw more than 100 pitches, and his body is not weird if anything explodes between his shoulders, waist, and knees. He has only one talent for ball control. You have to roll your head hard if you want to survive the pro."

I learned how to survive the pro under the pitching coach I met for the first time, and from then on I played that number game.

Analyzing batters, quantifying all their behavior and starting a probability fight through him.

Of course the results were not very good.

The number play was not bad.

'If only my shoulders weren't out there.

It's just that the shoulder guy just can't do his job before he can play the numbers right.

It was because of him anyway.

'Why am I suddenly thinking about this? Oh, the truck's coming to me now. Is this a lantern? No, but what was the probability of dying in a car accident after the supply of unmanned vehicles?’

At this moment of desperation, I can see in my head the probability even in the face of a truck losing balance in the rain and driving out of the road.

Damn it, you'really bad luck.’

Furthermore, Jung could even recall that the number of deaths from unmanned vehicles since the introduction of unmanned autonomous vehicles was smaller than that of those who won the first prize in the lottery a year.

'You'll win Lotto.’

That's it.

Gaining!

The truck hit Jung Hyun-woo as it was, and his accident stopped at that moment.

It was the moment of the accident.

Gwa-ang!

There was a tremendous roar.

Then there was a terrible silence.

As if time had stopped and as if the world had stopped, everything had stopped.

"Huck."

What popped out of it was none other than a line of Jung Hyun-woo's blocked breath-taking short sound.

"Sa, did you live?"

Since then, Jung Hyun-woo's words popped out to himself.

With the words, Jung Hyun-woo turned his eyes to the side and saw a huge truck hitting a telephone pole next to him instead of him and a trailer loaded by the truck.

It was a sight that would not have been seen if the truck had not turned the steering wheel a little more properly.

a narrow escape

In a situation where the expression is not overshadowed, Jung Hyun-woo expressed his feelings.

"Bitch!"

There was no roughness in the mouth.

It was a good sound.

Wouldn't it be strange if you suddenly had an experience where you might die in a ridiculous way and you had a good sound?

"Bitch! Whoa, whoa!"

Such a burst of abuse did not stop but rather burst out.

Sweat also burst out of the pores.

"Wow, shit!"

Forgetting the raindrops, Jung took off his hat and washed the sweatdrops soaked in his hair.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Next was laughter.

Jung Hyun-woo, who smiled as if he was faint with a horse, collapsed on the floor without realizing it.

Jung Hyun-woo began to feel relaxed in his head, and soon he recalled a conversation with Lee Hyuk-joo.

A conversation about a game fantasy that the main character who was hit by a truck returned.

"Wow, I almost fell back."

Jung Hyun-woo, who recalled the conversation at that time, laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

A smile gradually spread around the mouth of Jung Hyun-woo, who uttered such laughter.

'Oh, is there any reward for this? How much is it?’

There was a smile of joy that he might receive compensation for the accident.

'It's going to be a lot more salty than I thought, ····.'.'.'

as such thoughts fill one's mind

"Cuck!"

Jung Hyun-woo collapsed as it was.

It was an electric shock.

4.

No one likes hospitals.

The same was true of Jung Hyun-

He hated the hospital.

When I was a professional baseball player, my shoulder broke and I hated hospitals even more after I almost lived in a hospital.

After that, the hospital was hell for Jung Hyun-woo after his brother and sister-in-law, who were more precious than anyone else, were in an accident.

A place where you don't want to go.

"Uh,·,·,·"

As soon as Jung opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, he knew right away that this was a hospital.

'Buck, hospital? Why?'

Of course, it was not clear why he came to the hospital.

I had a splitting headache, and the memory was due to confusion.

"Uh,·,·,·"

Above all, my body and senses were strange.

What, what is it?

Feels like time has slowed down.

It felt like watching the world through slow video.

The strange feeling that he had never felt before, Jung Hyun-woo began to feel unknown confusion and fear.

"You're up.”

It was a heavy tone that made such a sense normal.

"Huck!"

Jung Hyun-woo, who made a breathtaking sound, raised his upper body.

Then there was an old man in his eyes.

He was in his 60s, wearing heavy horn-rimmed glasses with his hair neatly pulled back, and he was an old man who felt like a professor.

This is a hospital, of course it's a doctor.

So Jung Hyun-woo asked the question without any doubt.

"How many days have I been asleep? What date is today?”

The old man said with a stiff look at the question.

"It's March 9, 34."

"Yes?"

At that moment, Jung Hyun-woo looked blank.

Soon after, Jung Hyun-woo, who understood the situation, said, changing his expression to astonishment.

"Come on, hold on. It's 2034. Not 2038?"

Instead of answering, the old man closed his eyes and nodded once.

Jung Hyun-woo's eyes began to shake at the sight.

'Gee, are you really back in the past?

past regression

Did the situation that you could only see in the novel really happen to you?

'Now, wait a minute. So what do we do? What should I do first?’

This ridiculous situation forced Jung to panic so naturally.

My heart is pounding!

In the meantime, as if instinctively felt that this was a golden opportunity, the heart shook violently and did not hide its excitement.

"Patient Yang Hyun-soo!"

It was none other than the nurse's voice that cleared up such confusion.

"I've told you a few times that you shouldn't talk to the patient on your own!"

Jung Hyun-woo tilted his head to the nurse's sharp voice.

'Patients?'

Along with the horse, Jung Hyun-woo looked at the old man's appearance, not his face.

Only then did I notice the neat old man's wardrobe.

Come on!

At that moment, a robot stepped in between the old man and Jung Hyun-woo.

The robot, which looks like a monitor on top of a trash can, had a man in a doctor's gown on its monitor.

- Patient Jung Hyun-woo, you're up.

It was the moment when a real doctor appeared.

5.

On his way home from the hospital, Jung Hyun-woo looked very bad on the road.

"You're an old man with dementia."

The words to himself that he would normally say to himself, but Jung Hyun-woo, like a beast growling, spoke them out without hesitation.

evidence of ill feeling in many ways

"What's wrong with your life?"’

I had no choice but to.

'The truck's coming at me.

I experienced an accident that almost hit me by a truck.

'You'll be electrocuted the moment you say you're alive.

After that, I was unfortunately electrocuted and was hospitalized.

'And there's a crazy old man with dementia.’

Not only that, but also the dementia patients have been fooled.

'I'm already broke.'

He even paid for the hospital.

Thanks to Jung Hyun-woo's account balance has become four digits.

Recalling all this situation that happened in half a day, Jung Hyun-woo bit his teeth tightly.

'You'll see how much money I'm taking out.’

I will make this anger pay for it in any way!

It was literally the forest of the building that stopped Jung Hyun-woo, who was walking with such determination.

Buildings that rose without knowing that the sky was high, and buildings with small windows embedded on the walls of the building fill up the space so densely packed with sunlight.

It was a rental housing complex where Jung Hyun-woo lives.

'This damn place.'

Of course, it was a place where the term "breeding place" was much more appropriate than the feeling of a housing complex.

A breeding ground created to keep human beings just in the name of cheap rent.

It was the lowest level of Korean society, where only the least rich in Korean society are allowed to live.

'I'm getting out of here anyway.’

It was the place where Jung Hyun-woo had to escape as soon as possible, and that was why Jung Hyun-woo was so desperate.

Jung Hyun-woo, who pondered his resolution, passed the main gate and stood in front of 231 dong.

Then he took the elevator and stood in front of the countless rows of doors.

Room 2031.

After confirming the number, Jung Hyun-woo grabbed the door knob with his palm.

[Unregistered biocode.]

Then there was a notification immediately.

"Huh?"

Surprised Jung Hyun-woo once again checked the lake after looking at his palm.

"No, what the hell is this? It's my house.'

After checking the situation again, Jung Hyun-woo put his hand on it.

[Not a registered biocode.]

I heard the same notification.

At that moment, Jung Hyun-woo raised his head.

Did you find the wrong dong?’

I remembered the surrounding situation when I came in.

Then, the same type of apartments, which were densely packed like forest trees, passed through my head.

a scene which is not strange enough to be misplaced

Come on!

Then the door began to open from the inside.

"Uncle!"

Then a cute bobbed-haired girl, who looked seven years old, greeted Jung Hyun-woo with a bright shout.

Only then did Jung Hyun-woo smile.

"How are you, Hyerin?"”

"Yes!"

Jung Hye Rin.

Jung Hyun-woo's only nephew.

"What about Dad?"

"Here it is."

Behind his nephew, Jeong Tae-woo, his brother, who is the only two left in the world, appeared.

He looked like Jung Hyun-woo, but he felt much more handsome than Jung Hyun-woo.

The bizarre difference between the two brothers is that they can't help but shake their heads while looking at Jung Hyun-woo.

However, such facts were not noticeable.

There is only one thing that catches the eye, and the fact that Jung Tae-woo is in a wheelchair.

"I heard you went to the hospital. What happened?”

Jung Hyun-woo said bluntly at such worried words.

"What would a game-wrecker have if he had a disease? It's no big deal."

"Are you sick?

Jung Hyun-woo shook his head at the words of Jung Tae-woo.

"It's no big deal. If you had a problem, you wouldn't have come here like this, but you'd be in the hospital.”

In the head of Jung Hyun-woo, who was speaking, the memory of the day four years ago came to mind.

After his parents died in an accident, he became the head of the family at the age of 14 because of that, and for that reason, he lost what was precious to him once again.

'You don't have to say it.'

Recalling the horrible memory, Jung Hyun-woo did not feel the need to tell his brother about his day.

I didn't add another page of nightmares to my brother's head, already full of hard memories.

"I think that's the biometric device out of course.”

Naturally, Jung Hyun-woo turned the topic around.

The remark was answered with frowns after Jung Tae-woo looked at his brother gently.

"It's broken? Doesn't recognize it?"

"Yes."

"I don't think so.”

There was certainty in the voice of Jung Tae-woo speaking.

As a former programmer, he did a good job, so I was confident that he could make it out.

Jung Hyun-woo laughed at Jung Tae-woo's conviction.

"Why not? The machine could break down."

The algorithm used for security facilities in this neighborhood is also used for gate capsules. If the machine itself doesn't work because it's broken, it's biocode recognition, but it's only one million times."

One million times, one count, that's not twice. Jung Hyun-woo's face stiffened as he tried to say "yes."

"Wait."

"Why?"

"There it is, so our front door security system is also used in gate capsules?"

gate capsule

A virtual reality access device that allows access to Godworth.

When using such gate capsules, biocode is used.

"Yes."

Of course, a different biocode means that you can't access your character.

The fact has never changed.

That was the reason.

"Hit, brother, wait. Hold on. I'm going to the capsule room nearby."

The reason why Jung Hyun-woo imagines something so sinister.

And that imagination soon became a reality.
