Chapter 0: Prologue

The outside world is dangerous.

It truly is.

A genuinely dangerous space.

Fine dust is rampant and Group 1 carcinogen ultraviolet rays pour down.

But the bigger problem is people.

You can tell just by watching the news.

Traffic accidents are a common occurrence, and the outside is where random, motiveless murders happen in broad daylight.

Who knows when a gentleman in a neat suit and tie will suddenly transform, his face contorted like a demon, and plunge a knife into my body.

So, the outside world is dangerous.

However.

‘Pay 57,850 Won?’

Most economic activities take place outside the home.

It’s a deplorable state of affairs.

But that’s not always the case.

You can buy things without ever going outside.

I pressed the ‘Yes’ button and clicked my payment password.

A message saying the payment was successful popped up and…….

No, wait.

It was an unexpected expense, so I made a mistake.

I hastily canceled the payment.

I just picked a random reason for cancellation.

I ignored the boilerplate text about refunds taking up to a week and went back to the payment window.

I must not make a mistake this time.

‘Select Installments – 7 months’

Success.

I was almost fcked.

To pay that amount in a lump sum, I’d have to stay up for two nights.

Since I obviously complete all the daily quests and weekly dungeons, earning 50,000 Won by grinding trash mobs with pitiful rewards… just imagining it is horrifying.

Of course, I don’t live without any spare money.

Considering that the market price of game currency could suddenly drop, I always tend to keep about 2 billion silver… so, about 200,000 Won, on hand.

But I never expected something like this to happen.

Who would have thought I’d have to spend money like this?

‘Payment Successful (No-wire Comfortable Seamless Bra Top – Option 8)’

Pressing Alt-Tab, I started the game again and let out a small curse.

Fck.

It was a delicate and slender voice.

Completely unfamiliar.
