Chapter 1 – Prologue

Life is often so fragile that it can fall apart at the slightest gust of wind.

For example, the excited voice of the awakened ability inspector saying that since you have awakened a type of ability that has never been shown before, you will definitely be doing a very important job.

Of course, if you are a mature adult who has good self-objectification and is not easily swayed by what others say, you would not be living a life that could be ruined by nonsense.

However, at the time I heard those words, I had just turned 20, and although I spoke of being an adult, I was in fact no different from a child. I was excited about the title I longed for as an adult, so I was very vulnerable to such nonsense.

Maybe that’s why, now that I think about it, I ended up overestimating myself after hearing what the inspector said, which I’m proud to say was ridiculous nonsense.

“Haaaaa… Stay, you crazy bastard.”

As a result, he became a debtor as soon as he entered his 20s and ended up having to pay off his debts for most of his youth.

All of this is because of my unique awakening ability, which made the inspector make a fuss.

—–

[Name: Stay]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 24]

[Grade: F grade]

[Ability: Status Window (Epic Grade)]

Information about the object in contact is visualized and displayed to the user in an easy-to-understand manner.

! You cannot check the status window of objects beyond the user’s level.

[Current status: Dejected]

! This is the user of the status window.

My ability was the status window, the ability to visualize the information of the object I touched in a way that I could easily understand, as if it were written right in front of my eyes.

If you look at it this way, it is clear that it is an ability that inspectors can make a fuss about.

Being able to dig up that information just by making contact is a very useful ability anywhere.

If you bring the corpse of the demon beast inside the gate, all information about the demon beast will be revealed through your status window.

You can find out the uses of a newly discovered new material, and if the scope of use is expanded, the information or purpose that the spy is hiding can be revealed with a single contact.

Yes, that’s true if you just look at the possibilities.

It was clear that he had the potential to kill, but there was one drawback that I was not aware of as a 20-year-old.

That is the very sentence written under the description of the ability.

! You cannot check the status window of objects beyond the user’s level.

This.

It is no exaggeration to say that my early 20s were blown away because of this crappy phrase.

At my level, which is no different from that of an ordinary person with only a slightly good body and slightly good stamina and recovery, I couldn’t even check items that contained a very small amount of mana.

If I had figured out my skills back then, this wouldn’t have happened…

But unfortunately, at the age of 20, I was filled with empty air like an airship, and I did not spare any investment in myself, thinking that if my level was not enough, I just had to raise my level.

Of course, I didn’t have a good house, and it was impossible for a 20-year-old to have any savings, so all the investment money was used as a loan for awakened people.

He used that money to buy an elixir, and even though it didn’t work, he couldn’t come to his senses and ignored reality, going as far as taking out private loans. When he came to his senses, he had accumulated a huge amount of debt that he could never repay by doing ordinary things.

As soon as I turned 20, I threw my life directly into the abyss.

When I realized that my life was ruined, there were only two options left.

One of the options is to become a bio-awakening organ storage facility, which is always traded at a high price because it is rare and has many uses, so that private loan sharks can take out the organs whenever they are needed.

And the other thing that was left was to get a job at a crappy job that would make you think a hundred and thousand times that the former might be better, and that they wouldn’t even pay attention to unless you were a person whose life was truly shattered.

It’s better to roll in this world even if it means rolling in shit, so I chose the latter.

That’s how I ended up working as a janitor at an emergency room exclusively for awakened people, where only awakened people can work, which is always suffering from a manpower shortage, and which pays money that you can’t even get in an ordinary workplace.

It was four years, four truly hellish years.

Due to a chronic shortage of manpower, early work and overtime are standard, the average sleep time is 3 hours, and there is no lunch or dinner time. You just have to survive by taking care of yourself.

With these elements in place, a handyman must do everything he can.

Yes, handyman.

It refers to a position that requires you to do everything that does not require specialized knowledge and abilities.

Really, really everything. Everything had to be done to enable the emergency room to function as an emergency room.

However, when the awakened people brought in struggled in pain, the surrounding devices and people (including me) were destroyed, and the seniors were just like me, so if I felt disgusted by people, I felt it millions of times, and it was impossible to find comfort.

Moreover, due to the nature of the work, the successor was replaced after only half a day or three days, so he had no choice but to be the youngest for four years.

A life where I sleep 3 hours a day and go to work without any vacations or holidays for 4 years, constantly being harassed by seniors whose lives have been ruined to the extent that the only option in the famous 3D workplace is this trash job.

Living that kind of life, I cut off expectations for myself.

I gave up the attachment to living as a great hero that everyone looked up to and started dreaming of a very ordinary but romantic life where I would open a café in a quiet place and work comfortably.

I worked hard with only that dream in mind, and by chance I made a lot of money.

A huge amount of money, enough to pay off at once a debt that was not even half paid off.

“Well, I heard life is ironic.”

The reason I was able to make that much money was because of the status window.

It was Sangtae Chang that destroyed my life, and it was Sangtae Chang that saved my shattered life from the abyss.

“Yes, finally… I paid off all my debt. I also opened a café.”

Yes, the crystallization of my dream right before my eyes. It was all thanks to Sangtae Chang that I was able to open this ‘stay this place’ café.

“When I was working as a janitor at the emergency room, I got a lot of people swearing and saying I had such trash skills. Now I have no choice but to admit it. “I really lived thanks to Sang Tae-chang.”

When something I had only imagined in my dreams turned out to be reality, for some reason I felt empty rather than fulfilled.

“Well, isn’t this how it is supposed to be? “When something you’ve only dreamed about comes before your eyes, everyone feels defeated.”

Since there was no one around, I consoled myself by uttering a monologue that no one could hear.

After that, miraculously, the feeling of desperation disappeared, and the desire to work began to fill the void.

“At las. Finally, I can do normal things…! Sleep eight hours a day! Take care of your holidays too! I go on vacation once or twice a year! “Living such an ordinary life!”

An ordinary life that others would take for granted.

That ordinariness was more precious to me than anything else, and that’s why excitement filled her heart as she was about to start a normal life.

“There are no more housekeepers or caregiver stays without a daily routine! Now, all that remains is the owner of ‘Stay this place’, Stay to enjoy the leisure of everyday life!”

When my excitement reached its limit, I shouted out loud with all my heart.

“Whoa…! Okay, first opening. Let’s get started.”

After that, I started to realize that my life had really begun, and that’s how I opened the door to the café for the first time.

Now is the beginning of a truly ordinary life, a leisurely daily life!

※

For sure······. It definitely should have been that way.

“S, Mr. Stay. I feel like I’m going to die. Yes, I came because I wanted to apologize. Please, please accept my apology and make peace with me. Otherwise, I really feel like I’m going to die…”

Why.

“And again, like before, gently stroke my forehead and touch my cheek. Then, trace the neckline with the back of your hand, and then come down and pat my collarbone with your fingertips. After tensing my body so much, he opened the button on my chest with his still gentle hands and gently touched my upper breast as if grazing over the top of the bra. The moment he caught me off guard, he immediately ripped off the bra and violently squeezed my breasts, pressing my startled mouth with his rough mouth. Please block it with your lips. Please, please…!”

※

“I still can’t acknowledge you, Stay.”

Why?

“Stay, you are the weakest person I know, a straw that will fall over even if I use just one finger, and a weed on the side of the road that if it were me before, I wouldn’t have even known existed… No, no. Because weeds are strong. Yes, you are like a dandelion seed!”

Why?

“Uh, so… Show me! That you are strong! In the past, I was under a curse and couldn’t respond, but now it’s different! As long as I come to my senses, I won’t be fooled by your weak and clumsy skills! So, have sex with me and prove to me that you are a worthy man! By the way, the only way to determine victory or defeat is when one of the two is knocked out! “You better be prepared!”

※

“Finally, finally, we met… We finally met…! Stay, I’m going to make a suggestion now, so please listen while savoring it without missing a single syllable. Up until now, I’ve never felt uncomfortable living alone, but after waking up from the curse, I started having some trouble living alone. So I came here because I wanted to hire you as my butler. Of course, you can pay whatever you wish. This is scouting, and the salary you would hope for based on your common sense will not be any burden to me. Ah, well, if you don’t need money, you can ask for other valuable items. Because I can give you anything you want. If you don’t like that either. Unless you want anything material from me. Well, then I especially. Because it’s you. Since you can be said to be my benefactor, I will allow it. You can touch my body however you want. My, my, uhhh… Butt. Yeah, you like that…? Uh, what do you think? These are unimaginably good conditions, right? So of course, of course you will say yes, right? Right?”

Why······. People you shouldn’t meet anymore are coming to visit, right?

I just want to live a normal life…!
