My heart was pounding again. It had only been a day. No, it wasn’t even a day, just a few hours since I had become Ki Yoon Jae.

The damn god still hadn’t answered my call. If he didn’t want to let me go back, I would have to live as Ki Yoon Jae.

Will I be able to live until I’m 26 years old as Ki Yoon Jae?

Wait, can’t I just say that I’m not Ki Yoon Jae?

Why don’t I just say that I suddenly transmigrated and that I’m not Ki Yoon Jae? Couldn’t people help me find a way to return? They need Ki Yoon Jae, not a useless person like me…

Should I test it…?

I happened to be alone with Ha Hyun Seo. He is the youngest among the gifted, and in the original novel, Ha Hyun Seo did not participate in killing Ki Yoon Jae.

Ha Hyun Seo’s jet-black eyes looked upon me with anxiety. I don’t know anyone else, but can I tell him? Maybe he will understand my situation.

As my hope began to raise its head, I decided to gather my courage.

“Hyun Seo…”


“Yes, Hyung?”

“I’m actually…”

It was before I even said, “I’m not Ki Yoon Jae.”

As the system message appeared in front of me, the download window turned on. Unlike the tutorial, there weren’t any option. There was a loading bar signified the forced download, and its percentage went up overtime.

“This is…”

“…Hyung?”

When I stopped talking, Ha Hyun Seo called to me with a puzzled face. I was puzzled, too. What? Nothing happened after the [Foresight] message.

Ignoring Ha Hyun Seo’s calls, I looked around for a while, but it was still only me and Ha Hyun Seo in the room.

What the hell is this…

“Hyung, are you okay? Do you want me to go out so you can rest?”

“Ah, no… I have something to tell you, Hyun Seo…”

“Yes. Please speak.”

Ha Hyun Seo leaned against the bed and smiled at me. I was a little relieved by his gesture, it was as if he would listen to anything I had to say.

I opened my mouth after organizing my words for a while. There was no turning back now.

“I’m not Ki Yoon Jae.”

“…Eh?”

“I’m actually… I don’t know. When I woke up, I found myself in this body.”

I kept talking to Ha Hyun Seo, who was shocked by my words. From the fact that I was possessed, to the story of God, to how I don’t know how to return…

“…So, please, help me get back.”

Ha Hyun Seo listened to me and didn’t move. After a while, he looked at me with a blank look on his face.

The worries and concerns that filled his eyes were gone. I got some goosebumps, but his reaction made me wary.

“So… you’re not Ki Yoon Jae Hyung?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You’re not Ki Yoon Jae Hyung?”

“…Hyun Seo?”

I should have sensed something wrong with that face. I was too caught up in my misfortunes. and didn’t notice.

Ha Hyun Seo stared at me with an emotionless expression. Then, his right arm quickly swelled up and was wrapped in fur. It only took an instant for the hand of the beast with its blade-like nails on the tip of that arm to pierce my neck.

“Kugh!”

I was choked with terrible pain. The sharp nails were enough to slash my neck like a rag.

“Ha Hyun Seo, what are you doing?”

Ki Hyun Joo was shouting through the open door, although I could not see it properly due to my gradually blurring vision. Ha Hyun Seo looked at me expressionless and suddenly collapsed, bleeding from his neck just like me. As I fell, Ki Hyun Joo stood, stunned, at the door.

Ah… the contract.

This was the contract condition that Ki Yoon Jae used as a leash for gifted people.

If Ki Yoon Jae dies, the contractors die the same way.

So, Ha Hyun-seo who attacked me died the same way. And Ki Hyun Joo, who didn’t sign the contract because of blood ties, survived…

Then the rest…

They must have died. Alas, I’m sorry.

My mistake in judgment led them to die. Thinking about it made me feel sorry.

But since I was dying too, they wouldn’t be the only ones suffering.

…Now, what will happen to the original story?

How does the original work go when all the villain and his subordinates die? It was funny to think about this in the midst of dying, but I couldn’t stop myself.

My vision blurred and I closed my eyes. It was over.

[[Foresight] playback is over.]

“Hyung?”

“Gasp…!”

I coughed involuntarily and sharply inhaled. Ha Hyun Seo, who had died in front of me, was alive and blinking his eyes.

The door that Ki Hyun Joo had opened and entered was also still closed, and it was still only Ha Hyun Seo and me in the room.

“Hyung, do you have anything to say?”

“Uh…? Uhh… It’s nothing…”

“Ok.”

“As I said before, thank you for saving me. But I still feel that it is not enough.”

“Ah~… it’s nothing.”

That’s all I could say in a hurry. Ha Hyun Seo smiled shyly and blushed at my words.

God damn it…

If I reveal that I’m not Ki Yoon-jae, I’ll die? I thought Ha Hyun Seo did not contribute to Ki Yoon Jae’s death because he was nice.

I combined the information I knew about Ha Hyun Seo. This was what came to mind in the character encyclopedia:

[Character Encyclopedia]

[Ha Hyun Seo: The youngest among the gifted. He really likes Ki Yoon Jae, the one who took him out of the orphanage.]

He just didn’t have any complaints about Ki Yoon Jae.

He didn’t hate him enough to kill, but I was wrong to mistake him for being nice. He was following Ki Yoon Jae, so as soon as he thought that ‘I’ had taken his place, he killed me.

After my premonition, the tutorial that had remained in the corner of my gaze disappeared.

Even though I was able to finish the tutorial during the attack, it only disappeared after I made the mistake of revealing that I wasn’t Ki Yoon Jae.

What did it mean? Will God no longer intervene in the future? My head hurts.

Darn it…

I needed time to organize my thoughts. So, I sent out Ha Hyun Seo by saying I wanted to rest. Ha Hyun Seo was disappointed, but it was not a lie that he cherished ‘Ki Yoon Jae‘, so he quietly left.

Man, I want to snuggle back into bed and tuck myself in.

But I can’t do that.

There was no time to escape from reality. I had to take action from now on to survive.

I need to sort out the information I have.

I got up, walked over to the desk, took out a blank notebook, and held a pen in my hand.

The lights didn’t go out in my room for days.

* * *

It had been a few days since I had locked myself in my room to organize my thoughts.

I was fortunate to have had an important appointment only on the first day I was possessed, so neither Ki Hyun Joo nor anyone else ever called on me.

It was also helpful that I didn’t have to go to school because it was a vacation period.

Because I can’t just leave it.

What I wrote in this notebook was like a prophecy.

There were a lot of things that would happen in the future and information about the people involved.

It’s not good to be in Korea at times like this.

In fantasy novels, the protagonist who moved across dimensions sometimes writes in Korean as a code, but I couldn’t do so because Korean is still used here.

If you knew hangul, then you could read and understand what I’d written. So, it had become something that shouldn’t be discovered by others.

The gifted people I have…

There were a lot of gifted people in the guild, but only five of those were consistently around me.

Ki Hyun Joo, Ha Eun Seo, Ha Hyun Seo, Jung Yi Joon…and Kwon Jae Hyuk.


Ki Hyun Joo was my sixth cousin. So, she was the granddaughter of one of my grandfather’s younger siblings. Due to blood ties, she was the only one who wasn’t under contract.

Ha Eun Seo (Ha Hyun Seo’s sibling), Jeong Yi Joon, and Kwon Jae Hyuk are all from the same orphanage. Ki Yoon Jae was able to preemptively find them because it was an orphanage sponsored by the Sungwoon Group.

“It was easier without parents.”

The contract was like a slave contract.

What kind of parent would sell their child as a slave for a lot of money?

Of course, it’s hard to say that there absolutely won’t be one… but at least a normal parent would never have signed the contract.

But these four had no parents, and there was nothing to do except to take them from the orphanage.

They didn’t know what to do, but they would have judged that it would not be bad if they were guaranteed a job from the Sungwoon Group.

In fact, the judgment was right. They were able to go to the same school as me or a better school by being with me.

However, these four had different feelings toward Ki Yoon Jae and acted differently in the process of terminating the contract and killing him.
