Eden widened his eyes in surprise at my words. Then he burst out laughing.

“Haha, what a temper.”

Luckily, Eden didn’t doubt me. Han Yi-jin, who had a shitty personality that did not match his mild appearance, was similar to my original personality.

“What, are you still using that stuff?”

“...Huh?”

Eden’s gaze was fixed over my shoulder. I turned around in a panic and saw the monstrous machine still boasting its presence in the clean room. Come to think of it, I still didn’t know what that thing was. But Eden kept on talking as if he knew that thing very well.FOlloow newest stories at no(v)el/bi/n(.)com

“So you’ve been out of your mind since morning? Stop it, stop it. Do you think you can get an advance to A-rank?”

“...”

“I heard the side effects are no joke. Are you okay? Are you still going to do it?”

I didn’t know what to answer, so I listened to Eden quietly. However, in my head, I analysed his words aloud. Han Yi Jin was a B-rank and had a low-ranking inferiority complex. His desire to become an A-rank was revealed in the novel.

It seems that the ominous black machine was an illegal item that raised the ranks of talented people. Considering the side effects, it seemed to be a very dangerous machine, so that means the real Han Yi Jin...

Could it be that he died because of that machine? It gave me goosbumps. I had to get rid of that thing, right now.

I glanced at the machine, following Eden’s gaze.

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Humph, I’m sick of worrying about you.”

“I don’t need it.”

When I raised my middle finger, he laughed frivolously again.

Does this person like to be insulted? After all, I never understood crazy people.

Internally, I shook my head and pushed away Eden’s shoulder, which was blocking my path.

“Get out of the way.”

“Where are you going?”

His shoulder was so hard, it didn’t even buldge after what I did to it. I stopped clicking my tongue and quickly turned my eyes to him. Then I shouted, glaring at Eden, who kept asking the same question.

“I’m going to the bathroom. What’s the problem?!”

Then Eden’s eyes tinged and widened with surprise. Maybe it’s because he’s wearing lenses, but his eyes had a tint of pink in them. How could a man look so fabulous in pink? The sad thing was, instead of looking soft and fragile, he looked manly and handsome. After all, God is unfair.

“Our Yi Jin-ah.”

“...?”

His soft voice gave me goosebumps.

I looked at him and frowned; Eden lowered his head, inching closer. I flinched in surprise at the face that suddenly got near me, and the man chuckled, his red lips grinning.

“The bathroom, isn’t it inside?”

“...!”

“Why do you keep saying weird things? Hmm?”

I didn’t even know there was a bathroom inside because I merely glanced at the layout.. A danger signal rang in my head for Eden’s eyes, which quickly became like the eyes of a beast were scaning me thoroughly.

But at times like this, I had to be calm. Because if I panicked here, everything would be over.

I quickly raised my head, trying to look nonchalant. What I do best in my life is shameless acting.

“So what?”

And this time, I pushed Eden, who approached with both hands.

“Get out of here, you bastard!”

In the novel, Han Yi Jin had a very bad temper. He was only a B-rank, but he was extremely arrogant due to the preferential treatment he received from the guild master for his usable abilities.

So I thought it was natural to do this to Eden, who was ranked higher than me, and I was right. Instead of being surprised or offended by my haughty attitude, Eden rolled his eyes and smiled as if he was in a good mood.

“I love it whenever you curse.”

“Crazy bastard.”

This time, I cursed sincerely. I had chills all over my body.

When I slammed the door right in front of him, I heard laughter escaping his lips as if I was cute.

I frowned and stepped back from the door. Eden didn’t seem to want to force the door open.

What the hell? Doesn’t it automatically appear when I call it?

Don’t tell me I can’t use my abilities because I’m not Han-Yi Jin?

I got scared and called a little louder.

“Status window? Status window?”

Fuck, why aren’t you appearing?

“Shit! Come out! Status window!”

This fucking bitch!

As I stomped my feet and quickly laid down on my stomach for praying to the mighty Gods..

“I’m sorry for calling you a bitch. Please come out now. Status Window?”

But nothing happened.

“Fuck...”

What is the problem?

Was it because his soul was different and his abilities couldn’t be used? That’s a huge problem!

How could I survive even without a B-class abilities? Fear ran down my spine. I fell into despair at the thought of staying alive among those skilled talented people.

Knock knock.

Lost in thought, I turned to the sound of knocking that echoed throughout the room.

As I looked at the door in a daze, I heard a mischievous voice.

“Yi Jin-ah, are you okay? Please open the door.”

“...”

That dog-watcher bastard.

For a moment, I imagined opening the door, and kicking Eden in the shin.

Then my heart thumped and I felt strange. I had no way to explain this strange feeling. After standing like that for a while, I walked a little and quickly opened the door.

“Oh? Yi Jin.”

“...”

When I looked at him with an expressionless face, Eden’s face hardened. As an A-rank talent, his body seemed to react to a faint sense of bloodlust.

I didn’t waste the opportunity and swung my feet, right at Eden’s shin.

Ppak!

“Ackk!”

Eden, unable to endure the pain, collapsed to the ground, holding his knee. And as I looked at him, I heard an emotionless voice, like a news announcer.

[Server connection complete. Do you want to proceed with the synchronization?]

“...What?”

All of a sudden? I heard the firm voice again in confusion.

[Do you want to proceed with synchronization?]

“...”

I don’t know why, but it looks like I’m now connected to a server of talented people in this world.

It was sudden, but that’s what I expected. I nodded happily and shouted.

“Proceed!”

[Synchronization proceeds.]

[Synchronization rate 1%...]

[Synchronization rate 5%...]

“Ugh.”

I listened quietly to the voice in my ear and then lowered my head.

Come to think of it, there was this guy. I hit him out of nowhere and now I was wondering if he would be mad this time? As I watched carefully, Eden quickly raised his head.

“Haa, it feels...so great... Hit me, hit me more.”

“...”

What is he talking about, this crazy bastard?
