> In a world where 80% of humanity has awakened supernatural talents, life is a brutal competition. College loser Kim Do-hyun is barely surviving on game bots, instant noodles, and debt. That is, until a government-mandated awakening throws him into the spotlight… only to declare his power total trash. Cloning? Level one? Cooldown? One body? What a joke. But this clone is real. It sweats. It works. It eats. And when it trains… Do-hyun's stats increase. Now, while the clone grinds 24/7—running, working, even getting beat up—Do-hyun chills in bed, reaping the rewards. His strength rises. His body transforms. His life begins to change. But power attracts attention. And when an S-Rank hunter known only as The Jumper starts watching, Do-hyun realizes something terrifying: He might not be the only one cheating the system.

Chapter 1

Game 1

(Submissive)1 – The Portal..

Kim Do-hyun (김도현) sat low in his chair, back slightly curved, hands shoved between his knees.

Overhead, the lights were harsh. The auditorium stretched wide like a giant bowl, packed with students sitting in near silence. Some whispered. A few looked eager. Most looked scared.

Do-hyun just sat. Still. Quiet. Trying not to let his thoughts spiral. His heart beat a steady rhythm, not fast, not slow, but just enough to remind him it was there. His palms felt sticky.

He hated places like this. Too big. Too many eyes.

He wasn’t anybody special. Second-year college student. Known more for his soft baby face than any sort of ability. He liked late-night gaming, instant noodles, anime. He didn’t work out. Didn’t even run.

But sometimes, when he lay in bed at 3 a.m., staring at the ceiling, he let his thoughts wander.

What if life was different? What if he was stronger? Bolder? What if he could break out of the same boring loop study, sleep, eat, repeat?

Those thoughts didn’t last. Real life didn’t make room for fantasies.

Except maybe today.

Today was the Awakened Program.

A national event. Wildly popular. Basically a ritual now. Once a year, colleges sent students to test if they had mana buried inside them. If they did, it came alive. If not, they walked away the same.

The world had shifted since mana first showed up. Dungeons, monsters, magic normal now. If you had power, you lived a different kind of life.

Do-hyun glanced at his belly. His shirt hugged a bit too tight. He hadn’t exercised in a long time. Still, when the invitation to participate showed up, he didn’t say no.

He couldn’t. Something deep inside him had been waiting.

Onstage, a tall man in a glittering black suit held the mic. Baek Min-jae (백민재), top-tier hunter, famous everywhere. His voice was smooth, but somehow still cut through the crowd.

“Welcome to the tenth episode of the Awakened Program,” he said.

Applause followed. Loud. Uniform.

Do-hyun didn’t move.

Baek Min-jae kept going:

“This is where we bring out what’s inside. If there’s mana in your blood, we’ll find it. If you’re meant for more, you’ll step into it. If not no gain, no loss.”

The air got heavy. Like something was pressing down from the ceiling.

Then the center of the stage lit up.

A ring appeared bright blue mist swirling around it. Symbols floated along its edges, pulsing with soft gold.

The portal.

Baek Min-jae raised his hand.

“Eleventh candidate. Step forward.”

Do-hyun blinked. Waited a second. Counted. That was him.

A few heads turned.

He stood, slow and unsure. His chair scraped loud across the floor. Too loud.

He didn’t look at anyone.

His feet felt wrong. Heavy. Like someone filled his shoes with cement. He took the steps to the stage, one at a time. Every sound echoed.

His chest tightened. His throat, dry.

Baek Min-jae watched him. Calm. unreadable.

Do-hyun took a breath. Then another.

The portal glowed in his eyes.

He stepped closer.

Heat rose to his face. The crowd behind him faded.

He reached out.

As soon as his foot met the edge, something shifted.

The air twisted.

Wind spun around him.

Vision blurred. Light bled into his eyes like sunlight hitting water. Cold. Then warm. Then cold again.

Ears ringing.

Weightless.

The floor vanished.

And then he dropped.

    Game 2
    (Submissive) 2 – First AwakeningThe light faded.Kim Do-hyun (김도현) gasped.He landed on a cold metal floor, knees first. His hands touched rough steel. It felt real. Cold. Hard. Heavy.He lifted his head slowly.He was inside a giant underground bunker. The ceiling stretched so high, it looked like a cave built by machines. The walls were smooth and dark, covered with glowing white strips that gave off light like a hospital. Rows of strange machines lined the sides. Pipes ran along the ceiling. The air smelled like iron and oil.He was not alone.Hundreds of others had appeared with him. People stood up slowly, blinking, some coughing, some rubbing their heads. There were students, adults, even older people. All of them had been pulled from different places. Some looked scared. Some looked amazed.In the far corner of the room, something bright exploded.Do-hyun turned quickly.A girl stood there with flames wrapped around her arms. Her eyes glowed like a spirit. Her long red hair da

    Game 3
    (Submissive) 3 – The Clone ArrivesKim Do-hyun (김도현) sat alone in his dark apartment.The room was small and cramped, with walls stained a dull beige. A rusty fan buzzed in the corner. His bed, still unmade, was pushed against the wall. A half-eaten snack bag lay on the floor. The air smelled faintly of instant noodles and yesterday’s socks.The only light came from the flickering screens in front of him.Six monitors glowed in the dimness. They were stacked like a fortress of glowing glass. Each one showed a different game, all running at the same time. Characters moved on their own, fighting monsters, picking up items, leveling up.Do-hyun leaned back in his chair, arms folded over his soft belly.“This is my life,” he whispered.He was a macro user.A digital ghost.Someone who built silent programs that played games without needing him. The bots farmed gold, hunted monsters, and collected rare loot. Then he sold those items for real money, trading code for cash. It was not honest

    Game 4
    (Submissive) 4 – The JumperIn the heart of the highest tower in the Republic's Central Zone, built into a floating fortress that hovered over clouds like a steel god, a man sat in silence.The room was enormous. Dark. Walls of tempered obsidian reflected the faint light from the floating blue panels in the air. Pillars taller than trees lined the chamber. It felt less like an office and more like the throne room of a sleeping king.And in the center of this room, beneath a single, quiet beam of white light, sat a man.His name was Yoo Seung-jin (유승진). But the world called him something else.The Jumper.No one knew why he had chosen that name. Some said it was because he could leap through dimensions. Others believed he had once jumped from the very top of the Odin Tower and survived. But all agreed on one thing.He was the first.The first to conquer the Odin Tower. The first to return alive. The first to awaken an S-rank talent before the world even knew such power could exist.Yoo

    Game 5
    (Submissive) 5 – The Clone Who RanThe early sun painted the sky in soft oranges and pinks, casting long shadows over the park paths. Trees rustled gently in the breeze, their leaves whispering secrets from a world where nature still remembered peace.And through that park, a figure ran.Thump. Thump. Thump.Shoes smacked against the paved path with steady rhythm, not hurried but firm. A wide, round man with sweat sticking to his shirt sprinted down the trail. Or so it looked, until you realized something felt... off.It wasn't Kim Do-hyun (김도현).It was Number 1. The clone.His steps were too perfect. His eyes too empty. Not robotic, but focused. Pure will. A body pushed to its absolute edge, but a mind that didn’t care about rest.Two old men sat on a park bench nearby, cracking sunflower seeds and watching him jog past."That guy again," one said, squinting under his cap. "You see him? That crazy one. Comes here every morning. Runs till sunset like a machine."The other grunted. "No

    Game 6
    Episode 6 – Slave Job for the BrainThe flickering blue glow from his triple-monitor setup lit up the room like a low-level spell. It was late morning, but the curtains were shut. Kim Do-hyun (김도현) sat in his chair, slouched forward, chewing on the edge of a chopstick. His eyes were dry, but he refused to blink. He was reading every single thread on the Awakened Status Web Archive.There were over 700 pages of user reports, system screenshots, theories from lunatics, and occasionally, gems of actual knowledge.“The stats you’re born with at Level 1, that’s it,” said one commenter.“You can improve them, but only through awakening paths. Training might move them by like... 0.01 per month. Useless.”Do-hyun exhaled slowly and sat back.“So unless I awaken something wild, I’m stuck being a fat gamer with slightly better stamina.”He cracked his knuckles and opened a second tab. This one was an archived research dump from a known data miner named [ManaDoctor22].Hidden stats are real. The

    Game 7
    EPISODE 7 – “Double Shift”The morning haze still clung to the edges of the city like a sleepy fog refusing to let go. Gray clouds floated lazily overhead, hiding the sun but not the heat. The sidewalk shimmered faintly, soaked in yesterday’s humidity and sweat. Somewhere in the distance, a crow cawed. Seoul, even in its laziest hours, never truly slept.Kim Do-hyun (김도현) tugged at the collar of his oversized shirt as he approached the rust-covered gates of the logistics center. His nerves were tight, his stomach a tangle of tension, caffeine, and cheap ramen from last night.Next to him stood his “cousin brother,” John Dong.Tall, chubby, silent, with eyes that didn’t blink much. That was the clone. His expression was blank, but that wasn’t new. Emotion wasn’t something Number 1 was programmed to care about.“All right,” Do-hyun whispered, keeping his voice low as a small delivery truck rumbled by behind them. “Simple words. No full sentences unless you’re forced. Don’t talk too much

    Game 8
    Episode 8 – [Clone on Duty, Boss in Training]The thin curtains of the studio apartment were bleeding morning sunlight through, giving the wooden floor a pale gold shimmer. There was a faint smell of instant ramen, sweat, and cheap detergent, which were all indicators of two bodies living on borrowed time and borrowed energy.Kim Do-hyun (김도현) groaned as he peeled one eye open. His arms and legs seemed to be full of sand. Muscles he didn't even know he had were sore. He turned over and looked at the clock on the wall.7:12 AM.His copy was not returned.Do-hyun sat up slowly, his body grumbling at every movement. He rubbed his eyes, got up, and shuffled over to the kitchenette. A rice cooker, two empty ramen bowls, and three half-opened protein bar wrappers greeted him on the counter like silent witnesses to last night's grind.The click of a door opening behind him turned him.His clone intervened. The garments it wore were wet with perspiration, the face pale, and the eyelids heavy.

    Game 9
    Episode 9 – The Gym of Gains and Chicken DreamsIt was a warm wind that morning, and the sun was peeping over the congested skyline as though he were too timid to rise. Kim Do-hyun (김도현) stepped off the bus with a quiet sigh, slinging a cheap nylon gym bag over his shoulder. There was a clean towel, a bottle of water, and nerves he could not quite swallow down.His clone was out there working in the warehouse, performing push-ups on his breaks and living off of old ramen. That left the actual Do-hyun alone on his way to the gym entrance. His steps were irresolute, careful yet firm. That old feeling in his stomach? It was just like it was when he first pressed the button marked Start on some online game—the fear and excitement of going into a dungeon.And then—“YO, YOU BASTARD!”A big palm struck him on the shoulder like a hammer dropped out of the sky. Do-hyun turned around with his eyes wide and was about to run when he saw a mountain of muscle in front of him.It was Nam Tae-joon (

    Game 10
    Episode 10 – The Tutor and the TornadoOutside, the morning air was dry and strangely still, as though the world were waiting to breathe. Kim Do-hyun (김도현) stood at the bus stop in his plain sneakers, feeling the heat of the asphalt beneath his feet. He had two phones in his hands. One was the battered old Android he played games on, which now was the property of the clone. The other was his real phone. The actual one. His lifeline. His stress. His chain to the wild world beyond.It buzzed.He glanced at the screen and saw the name: Oh Deok-su (오덕수).The warehouse manager. The person who gave him this insane tutoring job because he saw his so-called genius.His thumb glided over the screen, and he responded with a sluggish, “Hello?”[“You free right now? Come and teach my daughter. She’s home.”]Do-hyun paused. He looked up at the sun as though it had offended him. “Right now?”[“Yeah, right now. She's being difficult again. Come fix her.”]He heaved a sigh. He was tender after yester
