Reborn (Part 1)

When Chun Ho-Jin regained his conscious, he found himself sitting in a messy room.

If it weren't for the bed beside the chair, he might have mistaken it for a storage room.

There was a way, the condition of the room was too poor and messy.

Even during the toughest times in the post-apocalyptic world, Chun Ho-Jin had experienced environments much better than this.

In the dim and filthy surroundings, there were still many shattered glass bottles and broken electronic devices strewn across the floor, making it hard to walk.

However, what was most unbearable for Chun Ho-Jin was the unidentified, thick, greenish liquid at his feet.

It seemed the bags that were labeled as 'nutrient solution' nearby had burst, and leaked a foul-smelling, acidic liquid.

For an average person, the smell might induce nausea and vomiting, but for Chun Ho-Jin it was different.

Ten years of surviving in the post-apocalyptic world had already accustomed him to endure extremely unpleasant and challenging environments.

For him, as long as it meant survival, nothing was a problem.

However, it was evident that despite the terrible environment, this didn't seem like the post-apocalyptic world.

Looking out from the tightly shut window, Chun Ho-Jin could see an unusually peaceful street.

Although it was not bustling with people, their leisurely and relaxed expressions were not something people living in a post-apocalyptic world would possess.

So where was he is now?

Wait, no, he remembered.

He should have died.

If he recalled it correctly, in the previous moment, in order to survive the horde of zombies, he recklessly activated all his mental power, attempting to mentally control the zombie horde.

Even though doing so would cause an immense damage to his own mental power, Chun Ho-Jin went ahead with it just to grasp a glimmer of hope and survive!

Unfortunately, he still failed.

Despite being a powerful esper, he couldn't withstand the massive horde of zombies before him.

At the moment when his mental power reached its limit, Chun Ho-Jin felt an excruciating pain in his mind, and then everything went dark.

When he regained his consciousness, he found himself in this room.

Wait, if that's the case, it seems this body he's in now might not be his original body.

The appearance, height, and body structure seem almost the same as his in the previous life.

But the muscle strength and bodily responses are noticeably inferior to his former self.

Overall, he feels weak and feeble, with a pale complexion from being confined indoors for a long time, making his current body appear frail and fragile.

He felt utterly insecure, despite the surrounding environmental cues suggesting a world entirely different from the post-apocalyptic one.

The grueling and brutal ten years in the post-apocalyptic era had already accustomed him to keeping his body prepared to confront any crisis.

It seemed he would have to re-exercise this current body of his in the future.

With these thoughts in mind, he paused.
