Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 – The Most Pathetic Awakening in History

My name is Kang Tae-hyuk.

Twenty-three years old

Unemployed

Virgin

Last achievement: reached Diamond IV in Solo Rank after 2,800 games (still got hardstuck)

Current net worth: 47,000 won (mostly in 1,000 won bills hidden in old game card sleeves)

And today… I died

Not in a cool way like sacrificing myself to save the world or getting betrayed by my best friend in a dramatic rooftop scene

I slipped on spilled ramyeon soup in front of a convenience store at 3:17 AM while trying to open a door with my shoulder because both hands were holding Cup Ramen + cola + two corn dogs

Thu

Crac

Darkness

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on cracked asphalt under a blood-red sky

「Welcome, Player Kang Tae-hyuk

「You have been selected for the 0.0000007% chance『Irregular Transmigration – Forced Entry』

「Main System forcibly activated due to death outside designated world parameters

A blue window floated in front of my face like an aggressive pop-up ad

「Would you like to view your Status?

"...Do I look like I have a choice?

『Status Window

"SSS? Provisional? What kind of scam is this—

The window suddenly flickered violently

「Alert! Rank collision detected!

「Existing world laws attempting to downgrade rank to F~A

「Authority 'Irregular' has refused

「Authority 'Middle Finger to Causality' has refused

「Authority 'Author's Pet Syndrome (Self-Inflicted)' has refused

「Rank stabilization in progress…

「SSS rank has been forcibly maintained

I stared at the window for a good ten seconds

"...System-nim, are you okay?

『System is experiencing an existential crisis

『Please do not ask stupid questions for 5 minutes

A new window appeared — this time blood red

I slowly raised my hand

"So… I can just write 'I am invincible'?

『Warning: The universe has a sense of humor

『Previous user who wrote "I am invincible" is currently a slime in the 87th layer of the Abyss

"...Okay, noted.

I looked around

Ruined city

Black rain falling upwards

Giant skeletons the size of apartments walking in the distance

A girl with pure white hair and a sword bigger than her body currently getting surrounded by six-armed demons

She looked like the classic "final boss disguised as heroine" template

I sighed

"System.

『Yes, tragic protagonist-nim?

"Show me the skill list.

A golden window exploded open

I stared at the skill list for a long time

Then I looked at the white-haired girl who was about to get bisected

Then back at the skills

"...System.

『Yes?

"I'm going to regret this, aren't I?

『With 99.999999% certainty

I cracked my neck

"Alright then.

I raised my hand toward the sky

And with the most dead-inside expression possible, I muttered

「Hold my corn dog.

The world went quiet for a second

Then

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM—!!

A pillar of pure chaotic nonsense erupted from my body

All six-armed demons instantly turned into fine red mist

The giant skeletons in the distance tripped over their own femurs

The white-haired girl's sword stopped mid-swing

She slowly turned her head toward me

Her eyes were shaking

"...Who… the hell… are you?

I scratched the back of my head, still holding an imaginary corn dog

"Uh… just a guy who wanted to eat ramyeon in peace.

A beat of silence

Then she muttered, almost against her will

"...Bullshit.

And that's how I, Kang Tae-hyuk

the most pathetic human to ever receive SSS-rank
