Chapter 1 – (Episode 1) 1. Acquire Superpowers!
(Episode 1)
1. Get superpowers!
I pinched my thighs and clearly felt the reality, but when I opened my eyes, I was in a dark semi-basement studio.
“Ah… It’s a fucking dream…”
I grumbled and accepted the reality, but there was definitely that woman, no, ‘God’ sitting on this bed. Even the fragrant smell seemed to linger in the room.
“100 million! Late!”
I belatedly found out that there were only 30 minutes left for my part-time shift. Thinking of washing her hair at a convenience store, she brushed her teeth and washed her face, and hurriedly left the studio.
“Mr. Han Myeong-sik, if I’m late again, I’ll tell the manager.”
“Sorry, I’ll be back early tomorrow as much as I’m late.”
It was hard for her to treat him calmly as she pointed out the same image as the god she met in her dream. ‘Han Myeong-sik’ saw the woman’s back as she left the convenience store and let out a sigh.
Her usual day passed, and after returning to her semi-basement studio and throwing her exhausted body on the bed, she remembered her dream.
‘It wasn’t a dream, it felt real…’
In her 24 years of life she has never had a dream so vivid. Even her dreams of returning to the army, which she occasionally had, were terrible, but not vivid.
She closed her eyes, wondering if she would be able to meet God if she dreamed again, but she couldn’t sleep and her chest was stuffy.
“Ay fuck!”
Han Myeong-sik, who jumped up with her insults, threw off her clothes and took her shower to shake off her irritation.
“You’re stupid?”
Shin met again in the wide and green field as a pot-bellied man with a good impression. As soon as he saw it, he was just happy to pin it.
“Haha, I’m an idiot, so give me a hint!”
“It’s no fun if I just admit it.”
“No way… It’s better than being beaten, isn’t it?”
“I’ll take a look at you because I like you. Since I gave you one ability, use it however you like.”
Knowing what the answer would be, she asked just in case.
“What ability is it?”
“It should be easy to figure out.”
Myung-sik Han, who woke up immediately, held her winning lottery ticket in her hand, which she hadn’t scratched regardless of whether it was true or not, and her heart swelled in anticipation.
It was so amazing that an ordinary day could be so lively and enjoyable. I felt like I had the whole world just by the fact that I had God-given abilities.
After ablution the same as yesterday, she lay upright on her bed and remembered what God had told her. What is the ability to easily find out?
‘Is it telekinesis?’
She tried every psychic power she knew, starting with telekinesis to move objects at will, but nothing happened.
‘Is it like memory?’
She took out her major book, read a paragraph, then closed the book, but her brain, from her memory to her comprehension, was no different than usual.
Confidence diminished in proportion to the repeated troubles and attempts. When he finally reached the stage of giving up, he went back to square one.
‘Was it a dream after all?’
The dreary atmosphere of the small studio with the lights off seemed to represent his feelings. I never thought my happy mood all day would turn so miserable.
I felt like crying, but I let out a big sigh and brushed it off. Isn’t it something to be sorry for the empty wind that started as a dream?
“Whew… What are all your abilities, let’s play a game.”
He turned on the game with his mobile phone, which had been in his hands for two days. When I saw the 8-headed sexy avatar who greeted me with a wide smile, I felt much better.
“Ah… It’s been an attendance event since yesterday, Mr. Ui!”
After saying hello to the guild, Han Myeong-sik, who had been focusing on his phone for a while while participating in the event and doing homework, pressed automatic hunting and sighed.
‘How good would it be if the status window was lit like a game?’
Then, on the ceiling of the room, I saw the same gear icon blinking as I saw in the game.
“Uh… ?”
I rubbed my eyes thinking it was an afterimage, but I could still see it clearly. Just in case, I raised my hand and pressed the icon, and a small selection window appeared like a real game.
“Are you sure you want to run setup? Of course yes.”
When I clicked the ‘Yes’ button, a setup window with a familiar configuration turned on. The GUI is the same as the one I saw in the game, so I quickly banged my head against the wall, wondering if this was a dream.
Thud
“Evil!”
Han Myung-sik, who had driven her excited heart too hard, grabbed his head and rolled on the bed. Then I quickly lay down and opened my eyes.
‘It’s a true story!’
A neat GUI and a setting window with clear fonts were waiting quietly. My heart was pounding and my hands were shaking, but I didn’t know what would happen, so I tried to breathe as much as I could.
“Whoa… Let’s calm down, Han Myeong-sik.”
After calming my heart by talking to myself, I looked at the settings window items one by one.
● User: Myungsik Han
● Ability: Space manipulation ability
● Level : 1
● Applicable range: 0 cm
● Usage time: 1 minute (60 seconds)
● Standby time: 7 days (168 hours)
● Command 〉
● Detailed setting 〉
● Usage list 〉
● Ability use: Yes
I seemed to know roughly what the ability was just by name, but to be careful, I clicked the first item, ‘Abilities’, and read the description.
‘The ability to manipulate the space within the scope of application at will during the usage time’
It was as you guessed. However, it was strange that the important ‘coverage’ was 0 cm. The answer was in the explanation of the next item, ‘level’.
‘The level rises each time you use an ability. Depending on the level, the application range, use time, and standby time are adjusted.”
The application range refers to the width of the space where the ability is applied, the use time refers to the time that can be manipulated within the space, and the standby time refers to the remaining time until the ability is used again.
The command is like a spell spoken when using an ability, so I postponed it to set it up later and moved on to ‘detailed settings’.
● Detailed settings
▷ Stop time while using setting window: not applied
▷ Acquisition of experience when resetting is used: Does not apply
▷ Interlocking user memory: not applied
▷ Operation target memory interlock: applied
▷ Setting the operation target 〉
When I clicked the last ‘Manipulation Target Settings’, additional items appeared.
▷ Set the operation target
– User: apply
– Human: applied
– Four Water: Apply
– Terrain: Applied
– Time : applied
Depending on how these detailed settings are applied, it seemed like an interesting situation could be created. First of all, ‘Stop time while using settings window’ was changed to Apply.
Immediately after that, the cell phone screen that was automatically hunting stopped and the outside of the window became quiet. I tried to see if I could do something sloppy with it, but only my hands and face moved.
The reason why the use list is empty is that the ability has not been used yet, and the ability use is an indication of whether the current ability can be used.
“What do you decide on the order… ?”
● Command
▷ Ability Execution: Unset
▷ Ability application: Not set
▷ Use setting window: Not set
▷ Exit setting window: Unset
I chose simple words without hesitation because I wanted to use my abilities quickly.
● Command
▷ Ability Execution: Execution
▷ Ability Application: Apply
▷ Using the setting window: setting
▷ Exit setting window: end
It is a national rule to try using it right away without paying attention to the user manual, but since it was such a special case, Han Myeong-sik approached it as carefully as possible.
“Should I close the settings window first? End!”
As soon as the setting window floating in the air disappeared, my heart beat like crazy. Remembering that the usage time is 1 minute and the application range is 0 cm, I took a deep breath.
“Execution!”
As soon as he shouted the command, his body was covered in golden color and immediately swayed gently like a wave. Then the number 60 appeared on one side and started to decrease to 59, 58, 57.
“Make me rich, apply!”
The body was covered in gold again and disappeared in an instant. He waited for a while, but there was no change, so Myeong-sik Han immediately turned the settings window back on.
● User: Myungsik Han
● Ability: Space manipulation ability
● Level : 2
● Applicable range: 30 cm
● Usage time: 2 minutes (120 seconds)
● Standby time: 7 days (168 hours)
● Command 〉
● Detailed setting 〉
● Usage list 〉
● Ability use: Yes
I only used it once, but the level rose and the range of application and usage time increased. It was impressive that the waiting time was the same and that the ability could be used immediately.
‘Looks like I can use it right away after leveling up, but why hasn’t anything changed?’
When I clicked on the usage list, I immediately saw why.
● Usage list
1. Make Me Rich: Failure to Apply – Improper Operation
It doesn’t warn that it’s an inapplicable command, but there’s only a penalty of losing the number of times it’s used, and I was able to gain experience.
“Execution!”
This time around the body, a small golden circular border of 30 cm was formed, and after the number 120 appeared, it began to decrease by 1 second.
“Make me 10 cm taller, apply!”
As soon as the circular border shone golden and disappeared, I felt a strange feeling that my body was stretching. When I opened the settings window and checked it, I could see a clear difference.
● Usage list
1. Make Me Rich: Failure to Apply – Improper Operation
2. Make me taller by 10cm : Apply
The clothes he was wearing shrunk, and the height of his field of vision changed, and he could immediately tell that he had grown taller. Han Myeong-sik jumped up and down and banged his head on the ceiling of the semi-basement studio, cheering.
“Yaaaaa!!!”
Although he is the average Korean male, his height of 175 cm doesn’t even attract attention. However, if you are 185 cm, the situation is different.
He put on the most loose-fitting clothes and ran outside. I couldn’t adapt to my sudden height, so I stumbled and fell over and over again, but even that was enjoyable.
“Wahhahahahahaha~~~!!!”
Han Myeong-sik spread his arms wide and ran through the streets laughing like a madman, regardless of the gaze of others.
I couldn’t help but want to express my joy at having the psychic power that made this change possible, not the tall figure reflected in the building’s windows.
His whole body trembled with excitement to the extent that he finally calmed down after the police were dispatched and stopped by someone’s report.
● User: Myungsik Han
● Ability: Space manipulation ability
● Level : 3
● Applicable range: 60 cm
● Usage time: 3 minutes (180 seconds)
● Standby time: 7 days (168 hours)
● Command 〉
● Detailed setting 〉
● Usage list 〉
● Ability use: Yes
When I returned to the studio and turned on the settings window, the level had risen again. Standby time was still unchanged, but coverage and usage time increased again.
Han Myeong-sik, who smiled at his enlarged body reflected in the mirror, took off all of her clothes. In response to the excitement, the amniotic fluid in the groin was furious to the fullest.
It had obviously grown in proportion to its height, but it was still unattractive. It’s useless right now, but there’s nothing like it to raise a man’s self-esteem.
“Execution!”
The circular space with a diameter of 60 cm was wider than expected, but now is not the moment to worry about anything else.
Myungsik Han specifically described the shape he usually thought of as ideal, from length and thickness to shape and hardness, and then applied it.
“Uh haha!! Wahahahahahaha!!!”
Laughter broke out immediately. I couldn’t stand it at all without laughing, so I laughed for a long time until my body leaned back.
No matter where it was presented, no one would be ashamed of it, and everyone looked up to it.
“I can’t stand this!”
With both hands, he grasped the yangmul, which had grown so large that his fingers could not touch it, and began to rub it.
Although he has grown in height, his body is still just a mass of flab, but it will be enough if he changes one by one in the future. With this ability, isn’t it possible to look like a celebrity?
The problems that the changed appearance would bring were not important at this moment. Han Myeong-sik cheered with all his might in the best pleasure he had never tasted before.
“Wow woo woo woo ~~~~!!!!”
