"...!"
Jin Sahyuk's eyes shot open. Like someone who almost drowned to death, she began to hyperventilate. She was breathing, but she felt like she couldn't breathe because of the overwhelming pressure pressing down on her.
"Huu... huu...."
Only after taking a few more breaths did she snap out of her daze.
She touched her forehead, which was dripping with sweat.
She finally came to the realization that she died.
"...."
She pulled her hair back and looked around her surroundings. The floor and walls were made of wooden boards, and the ceiling was white. She was in her personal waiting room.
When she realized this, a system alert popped up in front of her.
[You died. You must stay inside your waiting room until the start of the next tutorial.]
[The next tutorial will begin next month on November 1st.]
She was at a loss for words even at the damned system. She began to boil with rage. She seethed with unbearable hatred and killing intent. Her arms, legs, and the rest of her body trembled.
—See you later.
His final words echoed in her ears.
Fine, if that's what you want, I'll accept it. I will kill you. No, I will make it so that you cannot live or die.
...However, her heated rage was only short-lived.
After experiencing death, a powerful listlessness and exhaustion struck her. The rage boiling inside her quickly subsided like the tide beginning to recede. But while her body was feeling increasingly enervated, her mind became clearer. Emotions she normally wouldn't have been able to feel rose up within her.
"Haa...."
She closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh.
She had lost without any room for excuses.
No, thinking about it rationally, there were many excuses that could be made. Her stats were restricted, and her opponent had started two months in advance...
However, Jin Sahyuk didn't continue such thoughts.
She had already died, and there was no use making excuses.
She simply sat still in a daze.
'I lost again. Was it twice now? Did I really lose to the same guy twice?'
Strength left her body, like her bones had liquified. She laughed at herself.
'Is this it? Will you be able to fulfill your life-long wish like this?'
She opened her eyes within swirling skepticism. The white ceiling of her waiting room seemed to be shining brightly.
"...Is there anything I can do before starting over?"
She asked the empty air.
"Something to kill time with."
[Time is a concept. Therefore, it cannot be killed. I recommend studying to get smarter.]
However, the system seemed to be happy that she died.
"...Are you fucking with me?"
[I recommend reading.]
"Hm, reading..."
Now that she thought about it, she had never read a book since coming to Earth. The last time she read a book was in her hometown, when she was forced to read a few books as part of compulsory education.
