Pausing at the door, she sighed and opened it.

The kitchen was small, quaint, and weirdly comfortable but had an odd smell. Light seeped through the tiny window above the sink, dimly lighting the checkered floor. Cheon-sa's gaze found what she was looking for.

"There it is." Her gaze locked onto a corner in the room, "Si-woo, we're about to do something difficult." Si-woo babbled in reply.

In a corner of the kitchen lay ants, many of them. At least 10 scurried across the cracked burgundy tiles. "Si-woo, I think this is the only time we should be grateful we're poor." She said, setting him down onto the stained tiles, it's good for his immune system.

Cheon-sa then moved into a crawling position and crawled further into the corner. Moving closer to the ants, she slapped the ground. "Bean, look!" She slapped it again.

As Si-woo crawled closer to his mother, she put him into a sitting position and smacked the ground again.

A light blue screen displayed the current scenario time.

[ The remaining time has been decreased to ten minutes ]

[ You have ten minutes remaining ]

"Shit." She slaps the ground again. "Bean, slap!"

Si-woo giggled as he killed three ants. "Ah, my baby bean!" Cheon-sa rushed to pick him up, peppering kisses onto his chubby face.

[ The constellation "Mistress of Animals" is amused by your scenario ]

[ The constellation "Secretive Plotter" shows interest in you ]

[ 200 coins have been sponsored ]

"It really has happened." She stared at the blue screen, her reality finally sinking in. "But I was a reader." She walked out the kitchen and back into the living room carrying Si-woo, looking into the space where the big blue screen once was.

[ The Main Scenario #1 - Proof of Value has ended ]

[ The number of survivors from the Malguro Apartment, Apartment number 05: Yoon Cheon-sa, Kim Si-woo, a total of two survivors ]

[ 100 coins have been deducted for the channel usage fee ]

[ Due to killing non-resistant organisms, the number of coins you have obtained has halved ]

[ You have obtained 550 coins ]

Cheon-sa tiredly opens her eyes to look at the screen. "I don't think I'll choose a sponsor."

[ Several constellations are surprised by your statement ]

"Oh boo, go find someone else." She said childishly. "Oh my God, Cheon-sa you are a mother, you can't keep doing that." She muttered to herself.
