My name is [REDACTED]. 

I was just a normal, job-seeking guy who had just finished his undergraduate study and was hopeful of becoming a useful member of society. However, the job market in this current economy was quite harsh, and competition was at an all-time high. Thus... I remained unemployed for almost half a year.

As usual, I was on a job hunting spree, hoping to finally find or land a job that would hire the poor me. 

However, fate had other plans for me... and I died, getting run over by a large truck.

I thought I was dead, but... I soon woke up inside a test tube, surrounded by white-coated scientists in a dimly lit laboratory. I was confused, as I realized that my body, from head to toe, was covered with some sort of dark material that fit my skin quite tightly, as if I was wearing a skin-tight suit from a superhero comic. But... I wasn’t a superhero.

“Good morning, Subject... No... Grunt No. 703.”

I was just one of the supervillain's Grunts.

Reincarnated as a Grunt No. 703

"A wall with a giant humanoid hole? I don't recall seeing anything like that."

Grunt No. 727 stated bluntly to her three fellow grunts. Her statement cut through the air between them with a sharpness that left the three grunts momentarily speechless.

Her blunt assertion was met with stunned silence from the three of them... until they could only mutter a single word out of their confusion, surprise, and shock.

"Huh?" all three grunts muttered in unison as if their thoughts had just synced for a brief moment.

"Hmm? What's the matter?" No. 727 herself was taken aback by their surprised reaction. She had not anticipated her statement to be so bewildering for her fellow grunts. "Pray tell, what are these 'wall' and 'humanoid-shaped hole' that you three speak of?" Her voice carried a tone of genuine curiosity tinged with a hint of skepticism.
