Chapter 3: A surprising gift

TL: Pineapple

Editor: Isalee

A gift?! That’s unreasonable.

I’m not a person who deserves a gift.

I didn’t even have the chance to raise my unborn child properly. What right do I have to receive a gift?

I am thirsty.

Baby. Why won’t you be born? I promise that I’ll be a good father. Your mother is a very kind person.

Woo Hyuk said in his mind.

Instead of replying, the baby fairy smiled and kissed him on the forehead.

At that moment, he felt a mysterious light pierce into his head.

[Dad, bye bye!]

The baby fairy waved her hand at him with a bright smile and moved backwards.

“Baby! Wait!”

Woo Hyuk stretched out his hand to stop it. But the baby fairy went backwards.

Ye Eun woke up in surprise by her husband’s voice.

“Baby, don’t go! I’ll raise you well. Please come back, baby!”

Her husband’s hand was stretched out.

Ye Eun carefully shook him.

“Honey!”

Her husband’s eyes opened.

He got up abruptly and looked around.

“Honey did you have a dream?”

“Dream?…”

His gaze was blank and distant, like a child that had lost their parent.

Her heart tightened.

She hugged her husband.

Tears began to flow down her cheeks.

She felt sorry and grateful to her husband.

It had been 49 days since they lost their baby.

She thought he had forgotten about their baby’s existence.

But he didn’t.

Thank you for that.

Also, I’m sorry.

“I’m okay, let’s sleep.”

Woo Hyuk laid down on the bed after consoling his crying wife.

His wife lay next to him and tightly held his left arm as if he were a lifeline.

He closed his eyes and let his wife cling onto him.

He looked forward to seeing the baby fairy again, but the baby fairy didn’t show up.

Instead, he saw strange letters.

[The gift has arrived. Would you like to receive it?]

[Yes/No]

He thought the baby might come back.

If the strange gift was here, then there was no reason for it not to come back.

[Please stare at your decision for three seconds.]

He stared at [Yes] for three seconds.

Another line appeared.

[You are logged into the life-experience database.]

Life-experience database?

What is this?

I didn’t know what that was. The concept of the term “life-experience database” was ambiguous.

The dictionary definition of ‘life-experience database’ was to experience the life of another person as if I were that person.

However, he was unsure.

[Please check the list of lives you would like to experience.]

Familiar names and pictures appeared.

Bruce Lee, Marlon Brando, Charlie Chaplin, Robin Williams, Kim Seung Ho…

[Of the people who have pa.s.sed, this is the list of people you have recently been interested in.]

This was true.

These were the actors he had recalled while watching the audition today.

[The list is ordered from highest to lowest, depending on your interest. This may change in the future according to your interests. Some new people may be added or some may disappear from the list.]

He hardly ever thought about Bruce Lee before, but in today’s audition, he began to think of him alot.

For the applicant that did the Bruce Lee imitation, as a man he thought the applicant was talented, but as an actor, he was envious.

[Please choose the person you wish to select and visualize their picture in your head for five seconds to decide. Then you can experience that person’s life. It takes about seven hours to complete the test. We recommend that you do the test during the night whenever possible. Please be advised that there will be a lot of energy consumed during the test.]

It takes seven hours to experience a person’s entire life?

Is that even possible?

Am I dreaming of the person’s life as if I’m watching a movie?

[After transitioning to their life, the visitor will experience all of the person’s physical and mental properties and they will learn some of their skills.]

His eyes widened.

After I transition, I will learn some of their skills?!

If this was true, then this would be a huge boon for the actor.

If he thought of Bruce Lee, then he could get Bruce Lee’s martial art skills, and if he thought of Marlon Brando, then he’d get Marlon Brando’s acting skills.

He was told that he would receive some of their skills and he wondered to what extent he would actually receive.

He wanted to immediately try the life-experience.

[The degree of transition may vary depending on the user’s concentration and condition. The transfer rate increases the more you repeat with the same person. However, as time pa.s.ses, the abilities and skills you receive will gradually degrade. But by constantly training and developing those abilities, you will not only be able to slow down the degrading of your abilities, but you may also be able to maintain or improve those abilities.]

Now he understood the mechanics of the ‘life-experience’.

He hadn’t tried it yet and he didn’t know exactly what it was either, but it obviously was an incredible gift.
