2026-10-09 18:27:49Morgan looked at Angel without any complex change of emotion, but it was clear that he was not particularly pleased either.
“I disagree, Senior. I was just joking earlier.”
Angel stopped and turned around.
“What? Joking?”
“Yes, I was just joking. So please let me go.”
Morgan was still sitting on the chair with both hands tied behind his back. Strangely, there was not even the slightest hint of panic on his face. He even looked far too relaxed for someone who had just been ordered to be thrown into the sea.
Angel narrowed her eyes.
“Unfortunately, that decision isn’t yours to make.”
She stepped closer until she was standing directly in front of Morgan. Then she leaned down slightly and pointed at the man’s face with one finger.
“If you haven’t realized it yet, your life and death are now in my hands.”
Morgan looked at the finger in front of his face, then slowly shifted his gaze to Angel’s narrowed eyes.
“You’re annoying. I have no reason to let you live.”
Morgan fell silent. This time, his gaze changed.
He no longer looked at Angel as the girl he had met on campus that afternoon. His gaze became much sharper, like someone assessing an opponent on a battlefield.
System.
[Yes, Host?]
This is the woman I was supposed to protect from the ball earlier? The one I had to hug?
Morgan observed Angel for a moment. He almost let out a long sigh.
She doesn’t look like a weak and helpless woman at all.
Even if Angel were in the apocalypse world... She might have already become the leader of a large group or even a military leader.
Angel watched him carefully and found no fear in Morgan’s eyes. Morgan remained silent, neither begging nor trembling.
To Angel, that was not calmness. It was an insult.
“You can still act like that?” Angel snorted in annoyance, then stood straight and turned around. “Throw him into the sea. Now!”
“Yes, My Lady.”
Several of her subordinates immediately moved toward Morgan.
Morgan raised an eyebrow slightly.
[Mission Reward is now available.]
Reward?
[Congratulations, Host.]
[Host’s body has been upgraded to a level equivalent to Host’s body in his previous life.]
Morgan’s eyes widened slightly. A moment later, a warm sensation flowed through his body. His heart began beating more powerfully, his breathing became deeper, and his muscles felt full of strength, while his body, which had felt unfamiliar all this time, slowly began to feel like his own again.
Morgan clenched his fist.
The strength he knew had returned. The strength of a body that had been forged for ten years in the apocalypse world.
The corner of Morgan’s lips lifted.
Now this finally feels like me.
“Don’t move.”
One of Angel’s subordinates was already standing directly behind him. The man reached for Morgan’s shoulder.
But Morgan moved first. The rope binding his wrists snapped with only a small amount of force.
The man froze.
“What—”
Morgan immediately stood up. His body shot to the side before the man could react. He avoided the hand trying to grab him, spun past the man’s side, then quickly moved between two other subordinates.
“Hey! Catch him!”
Morgan did not care. His eyes were only focused on Angel, who was already several steps away.
Angel heard the commotion behind her and turned around.
“What—”
In an instant, Morgan was already standing in front of her.
“...You?”
Morgan did not give her time to react. His arms immediately wrapped around Angel’s body and pulled her closer. In an instant, Angel was back in his arms.
The entire room suddenly fell silent.
Morgan looked at Angel’s face from close range, smiling faintly.
“Senior.”
Angel’s body froze. Several of her subordinates immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at Morgan.
Angel remained silent for several seconds, then slowly clenched her fists.
“...Let me go.”
Morgan did not move. He stared into Angel’s eyes without backing down even slightly, and his smile only grew wider.
Angel returned his gaze coldly. She made no attempt to hide the cruelty in her eyes. She was the type of woman who would even be willing to hurt herself just to get revenge on someone until she felt satisfied.
Clearly, she was not an ordinary woman.
[Ding!]
[New mission unlocked.]
[Host, tease her immediately and leave. Make her curious about you!]
Morgan’s gaze immediately turned cold when he heard the mission.
“...Again?”
But before he could complain any further, the System’s voice echoed in his head again.
[Failure to complete the mission will result in an electric shock punishment.]
Morgan fell silent. The smile on his face slowly disappeared.
System... you’re really annoying.

Back then, threats like that were not something that could be taken lightly. However, he also knew that people who lived in peace did not always have the courage to face violence, especially when they had never truly experienced it.Carew was not a fighter. He even seemed to struggle with lifting a college bag that was too heavy, so it was no wonder he was frightened after being threatened by a group of bullies.Morgan sighed.“Alright. We’ll deal with tomorrow’s problems tomorrow.”Carew quickly raised his head.“Huh? But, Bro, they—”“It’s late. I’m tired, and I want to sleep.”Morgan stood up, then pointed at the sofa Carew was sitting on.“Are you staying over or not? If you are, sleep on the sofa. If not, close the door behind you when you leave.”After saying that, he walked toward his bedroom while yawning. He had no interest in spending his night thinking about a group of bullies who might not even be strong enough to make him lift a finger.Besides, there was still time to de

However, just as that thought crossed his mind, the original owner’s memories resurfaced.This person’s name was Carew. His classmate at college, and also the only friend he was fairly close to.Morgan slowly lowered his hands.He looked at the man who was still crying against his chest, then let out a long sigh. It seemed his new life had given him not only an apartment, college friends, and the chance to enjoy delicious food, but also a friend who appeared to have some serious problems.“Alright,” Morgan said, awkwardly patting Carew’s back. “Now stop crying and explain what happened.”Carew lifted his face. Tears still welled up behind his glasses, and his lips trembled as if he had just heard the cruelest question in the world.“Bro... they’re going to kill me!”Morgan fell silent.The remaining smile on his face slowly disappeared.Morgan looked at Carew, who was still clutching his shirt with a pale face. After letting out a long sigh, he finally opened the apartment door and pu

After wandering around for quite a while, he finally stopped at a crowded barbecue stall. The meat grilling over the charcoal sizzled, while the aroma of rendered fat and charred seasoning made his stomach growl again.Morgan immediately sat down in an empty chair.“Sir, I want satay. A lot of it!”The stall owner looked at him for a moment. “How many skewers?”Morgan studied the grill seriously, as if he were making an important decision that would determine the fate of humanity.“Twenty for now.”“Twenty?!”“If I’m still hungry, I’ll order more.”The stall owner fell silent, unsure whether the man in front of him was joking. However, seeing Morgan take out his money without hesitation, he finally nodded and began preparing the order.Not long afterward, a large plate of satay was placed in front of Morgan, along with a bowl of sauce and several side dishes. Morgan’s eyes lit up, and he picked up the first skewer, biting into the meat with great anticipation.Tender. Savory. The seas

Morgan only stopped running after making sure no one was chasing him. He slipped into a narrow alley between two old buildings, then leaned against the cold wall while catching his breath.It was already night, and the streetlights could only illuminate part of the alley’s entrance. The farther inside one went, the darker and quieter it became, enough to make an ordinary person think twice before entering.Morgan let out a long sigh.“Alright, System. I’m ready.”He closed his eyes, putting on a resigned expression like a soldier about to accept his death sentence. After making him run around like a madman, all he could do now was hope the electric shock wouldn’t hurt too much.However, several seconds passed without anything happening.Morgan opened one eye.“...Is that it?”[Ding!][Congratulations, Host!][Mission successfully completed.]Morgan immediately opened both eyes. He stared at the narrow ceiling above the alley with a confused expression, as if hoping someone could expla

Morgan remained silent, trying to figure out how to complete the System’s ridiculous mission without having to do anything excessive.However, his silence only gave Angel an opportunity to move.Angel suddenly stepped on Morgan’s foot, then swiftly twisted her body while swinging her elbow toward the man’s stomach. Her movements were sharp and decisive, as if she genuinely intended to take Morgan down before he could react.Unfortunately, her opponent was not someone who could be dealt with in an ordinary way.Morgan tilted his body slightly to avoid Angel’s elbow, then caught her arm. When Angel tried to use the momentum to break free, Morgan immediately moved behind her and switched their positions in one smooth motion.Before Angel could even realize what had happened, Morgan had already restrained both of her hands behind her back.One of Morgan’s hands locked both of her wrists in place, while his other arm wrapped around Angel’s neck. His fingers only touched her lightly, not ac
