After changing into the uniform, I briefly washed my hands and came out to the main floor. There"s much to be done. People will soon come rushing in.

Customers with children, couples who make me cringe while they eat, and people who act like they"ve been starving for weeks. They"re all coming in.

Serving people like that sure drains me. The rush hour finally pa.s.sed. I found my haven, as I lit up a cigarette to smoke. If it wasn"t for this, I wouldn"t make it.

Strangely, today….hasn"t been all that bad.

that"s how my day was spent. When evening hours came around, my shift was coming to an end.

"Good work today, everyone! I"ll be going home now!"

I ran to catch the bus since they were still running for the night. After the long ride, I got off the bus near my home.

From here, it"ll take about 10 minutes to my place. With a cigarette between my lips, I steadily kick rocks home.

Then it came to me. It all seemed like a dream….

"It sort of feels real but…"

Staring down at my palms, I thought to myself how strange it has been, but then again, I did over work myself today.

Was it Divine Flesh? I think that"s what I remember from my dreams. If that was real, it could be the reason why I"m not as tired as I should be.

vroom.

"who the h.e.l.l is driving like that… at this hour?"

When my body turned towards the sound without hesitation, I found myself facing a car that was speeding towards me.

G.o.d d.a.m.n it!

Boom!

My senses were going out of whack as my body was tossed around like a rag doll. I was feeling pain all over.

Thud.

"kuk…."

I felt my body slowly numb itself out while vision was being impaired. Or, at least, it felt like it. And, in the corner of my eye, where I could barely see now, the car was speeding off again into the darkness.

That b.a.s.t.a.r.d. A hit and run… man, this sucks. I don"t want to….die… I slowly raised my hand with what strength I had left in me.

I don"t…want to... die…so… even… if it was a dream… it"s fine. So…

"Divine…heal."

A light shined, and I lost consciousness.

I awoke in a dark room.

Where am I? is what crossed my mind before I realized my surroundings. A small, but comfortable bed and an emergency light.

It was a hospital room. I was laying down on a hospital bed with an IV stuck to my vein and soreness that shot all over the body.

Laying still, I unwillingly thought about what had happened last night.

Yeah, that hit and run b.a.s.t.a.r.d…

I guess, I almost died…

I raised my hand from the sharp pain pa.s.sing through my body after a deep exhale. My hand. I was just staring at it like I"ve never seen it before.

Divine power.

I remember using it right after….the accident. I tried to focus on my hand again. Something was tickling from my heart to all the way to my hand.

Then, a light was shining from it.

It was all real.

The dream, what happened yesterday, it was all real.

Before long, I cut off the light and placed it on my chest.

Divine heal.

Without saying it, I ran the words through my mind. Then, the warm light which had shined on my hand was now moving into my body.

The sharp pain slowly dissipated. With it, I was able to relax more comfortably. So, I gave it a few more tries.

Pahht. Pahht. Pahht.

The light repeatedly shined and disappeared. My pain was now almost gone… or, at least it felt like it. I don"t think I was completely healed, but I figured this was enough to get the ball rolling.

I mean, how would I even begin to explain this healing method to the doctor?

With that thought, I was looking over my bed, beyond the curtains to scope out my surroundings. On the patient locker, next to my bed, was my smartphone. Thank G.o.d it wasn"t broken…

I reached my hand out to grab my phone and held the power b.u.t.ton.

Rinnng.

Thankfully, the power came on without a problem. When the smartphone"s power fully came on, and its programs loaded, the current time was indicated at the top of the screen.

It was 1:58 AM.

It"s already so late. Am I supposed to feel lucky about this…or is this just a misfortune.

Who knows? Receiving those powers in that strange place was never what I had originally wanted.

"hah…"

With an exhale, I turned off the screen. Soon after, I found myself laying on a completely different location.

"uh…."

I was not warned or ready for what had just happened. Just until a moment ago, I was lying down on a hospital bed….

This here is….

"A white room…."

I was back in the white room, on a hard surface floor. I got up.

"man…."

Half way through trying to get myself up, the sharp pain stopped me moving any further. My body is not in the condition to be roughed around. But…. I had no other choice.

Being back here only meant one thing. I was going to have to fight again.

With that thought in mind, I placed my hands on my body and thought to myself again. Right after thinking that I wanted to heal, the light shined throughout my body.

Hwahhhhh.

After a few shines, I no longer felt any pain and I was able to get up without any issues.

As I stood on my feet again, I looked at the object that was placed beside me. It was the flail I used recently.

With a complicated look, I picked up the flail and faced the front. There was nothing written on the walls this time.

But a text would soon appear. Just like it did yesterday.

By the way….wasn"t it 1:58 AM? Then, that must mean…. That I came here at 2 AM?

2 AM.

Is that when I get pulled into this place?

As of right now…. I don"t know anything. but I had a feeling that this was not an easy thing to do.

Beeeeep!

A loud noise bursted through the air. I stared into the front awaiting for a text to appear.

Player : Yoon-Hwan Jung
Ability : Lyfedearc Divine Law LV 1. Absorb LV 1.
Weapon : Flail
Status : first test pa.s.sed
Point : 0P

Two abilities. To be precise, the divine skills allow me to action three miracles… so, technically, I have four abilities.

Beeeeep!

Another sound bursted.
