Agent Training (1)

It was the first day in my new home, but I was too unsettled to sleep properly.

An endless nightmare.

Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw a world utterly destroyed, and I watched my parents and coworkers dying horribly. What scared me most was the death penalty for dying. Because it was so unknown, it came to me as a fear beyond anything I could imagine.

But even though I was afraid of that, I still couldn't choose to spend the remaining 2,000 points to lower my death count.

Abilities... Right, abilities.

I needed more abilities. Detection seems pretty useful. There might be something even better than that.

The fundamental way to lower my death count wasn't to spend points and reduce the number. It was to get more abilities and solve things without dying. Whatever it took, as long as I didn't die, that was enough. Hadn't I joined the Administration? By learning about anomalies here and working with powerful agents like Jaaldi, I should be able to aim for survival...

"Ugh, damn. Sleep."

I felt like I had slept worse than when I was surviving in Seoul. At least back then, guys like Jinseop were there to watch my back. Here, there were no comrades who had gone through life-and-death situations with me. I could at least let them watch my back.

I'm going crazy...
