I looked up to the sky as I walked out.

It was only three in the afternoon and the sun was still out, scorching hot.

”I just want to go home and have a drink. I'm too tired to do anything else today.”

I briefly checked my health and fatigue levels and noticed that my fatigue was still at 0, but I was still tired. So tired.

I didn't normally drink, but I bought five bottles of soju and went up to my rooftop room. I wasn't hungry, either; I just wanted to drink.

The more I drank, the more I shivered. It was in the middle of July, but I turned on the heater.

I soon fell asleep. I didn't notice that my cold sweat was soaking through the covers.

The Sunbin Group was headquartered in a ninety-seven story building located in Gangnam, Seoul.

On the eighty-thirdrd floor, a group of sharply dressed men and women were holding a meeting in one of the conference rooms.

Song Daechul, the chairman of the board of Sunbin Group, looked through the report in his hand for a while before sighing and asked his executive secretary. ”You are saying that everything in this report is true?”

”Yes, Mr. Chairman! There's no doubt about it.”

”Father! We don't have time for this.”

”He's right, grandfather!”

Song Daechul's son, Song Myungsoo, and his five granddaughters implored the chairman. One of the girls was Song Haein, one of the first of them to become a Deva.

”So, humans can no longer leave descendants?” Song Daechul asked his head of Sunbin Pharmaceuticals, Lee Daehun, while ignoring his family's pleas.

”Yes, Mr. Chairman. We investigated 7,500 different cases and we concluded that no man can produce sperm and no woman can produce eggs anymore. We've also tested on mice, pigs, and dogs, but they have no problems with reproduction. It's only with humans! Humans can't reproduce anymore.”

”Hah…” the chairman sighed deeply at Lee Daehun's affirmation.

”Mr. Chairman.” The fifty-year old chief of security, Han Chulgyung, looked upon his employer. This man had been Song Daechul's personal guard since the chairman's beginnings; even the chairman's family respected him.

”You must become a Deva. I'm sure you have seen my men's reports, but you escape death for good once you become a Deva. We don't know what else will happen to the world. You must become a Deva as soon as possible.”

While everyone else hesitated and feared about becoming an unknown Deva, Han Chulgyung stepped forward and took the initiative. He had even committed suicide to reveal that Devas truly couldn't fully die. As head of security, he was extremely sensitive about the safety of his ward and took it upon himself to experiment, even after all of his men volunteered to take the task.

He did it in front of Song Haein. It was because of his experiment that Song Haein could become a Deva so quickly.

”He's right. If we go by the R&D report, there is something known as a stat and skill menu. It's very similar to that of a virtual reality game.”

”The only thing that can top this weirdness is if a meteor strikes the Earth tomorrow. The best option we have in all this uncertainty is to have you become a Deva, Mr. Chairman. Quickly.” Kim Soochul, the executive secretary, and Park Manho, the head of the R&D, both agreed with Han Chulgyung's advice.

As soon as Song Daechul heard the voice in the sky, he had immediately ordered Sunbin's R&D to investigate. It was thanks to his preemptive decision that the Sunbin Group had learned so much more than anyone else.
