"WHAT... ARE YOU... DO... ING?!?!?!" a green sentient slime monster with intact eyeballs asked menacingly and threateningly.

"It's okay. I'm here to help you. Don't be afraid." a young man wearing a black hooded jacket, blue jeans, black army boots, blue-tinted glasses, a gas mask, and two bags (a green backpack with a wire jutting out and connected to the whip attached to his jeans and a beige shoulder bag filled with syringes, test tubes filled with a yellow serum and a first aid kit) assured as he slowly walked towards the slime monster. He then took out an unused syringe and a test tube of the monsterization cure.

"Now, this will hurt a bit but the serum will cure you," the young man said as he prepared the serum for the slime monster. It seemed to have calmed down as the young man injected the serum into it.

Hey, everybody. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dae-shim Chu, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a biochemist who just recently created a cure for a disease that I have studied when I was 15 years old: monsterization. Today, I went to this town as I was assigned on a mission by my dad and his colleagues to help save the monsters and cure them of their disease. Wanna know why? It happened several weeks ago.

Dae-shim's POV

Several weeks ago...

"Here's the last of them," I mumbled to myself as I placed in the last box in my room. I gotta say, the whole place is not too shabby, although it could use a little sprucing up.

Suddenly, I heard another loud strumming from the ceiling. Seriously, does anyone on the upper floor know the word 'quiet'? This has been going for days since I moved here.

I decided to call my dad to let him know where I am.

"Hey dad," you answered casually

"Hey, kid! How's your time there?" my dad, Kwang-min Chu, asked.

"I'm doing okay, I just unpacked the last of my things. What about you?" I asked

"I'm doing just fine," he commented before sighing. "I still can't believe you actually created a cure for monsterization all those past months."

"I know. I guess my cure was so effective when it comes to meticulous research, keen observation, and many years of trial and error. Fortunately, this cure would be more than enough to cure all the monsters in this town," I replied.

Dad chuckled on the other end before saying, "Yeah, son, but you need to know that my colleagues and I said that this mission is classified; you can't let anyone know. Anyway, why don't you keep me updated on your mission, maybe even send me some pictures if you're not busy."

"Will do, Dad. Bye!" I said, hanging up the phone and with nothing else to do, I thought it would be a good idea to walk around and explore now that everything I needed has been unpacked and put in their places. Who knows, maybe I'll even have a small talk with Mr. Kim, the security guard by the entrance. And so, I put my bag down and headed outside to go for a short walk. Of course, I ran into the aforementioned security guard.

"Hi, Mr. Kim!" I exclaimed, the older man smiled at you before moving out of your way

"Oh hello Dae-shim, sorry for blocking your way like that. I was just welcoming our new tenant." He responded, pointing his thumb over his shoulder at the apartment next to mine. I was a little surprised to hear that I wasn't the only new neighbor in the building. I then noticed a piece of gauze in one of Mr. Kim's nostrils.
