As we step out onto the street outside the cafe, a black sedan stops on the side of the road.

He came over here and slid over and parked his car next to the pavement blocks, and his workmanship was incredibly neat.

It’s not urgent. Is it really necessary to do this on the road?

I opened the car door.

The one behind the wheel was Dan, the driver who had been driving Robin.

Dan sits in the driver’s seat with a very satisfied expression on his face.

He says that he is living a comfortable life to this extent.

He says that his salary has increased significantly and that he drives a car that is incomparably more expensive than the old truck he used to drive. That alone makes him happy.

The best thing about it all is that I don’t have to learn any more foreign languages.

Dan comes over and greets you warmly.

“Welcome, Researcher.”

“Ah. I’m not a researcher. I’m just an advisor.”

“Is that so? I think it’s a pretty high role though.”

“There’s no such thing anymore. When did all ranks become equal?”

Since the world was restored, the global occult societies and foundations have joined forces and come to the forefront of reality.

We are now moving towards a world where we acknowledge the existence of anomalies and coexist with them.

The spread of the ‘language translation meme’ created by the association has completely broken down language barriers around the world.

And those with superpowers who no longer have to hide their existence.

Useful anomalous entities used to protect human life, etc.

Most of them strongly reflected the association’s position.

Of course, anomalous entities that are harmful or hostile to humans must be contained or destroyed.

This role was taken on by a new ‘Foundation’ led by Robin.

“Arrived.”

The Foundation’s research lab, arrived in a vehicle driven by Dan.

Although it is called a laboratory, there is no longer any such thing as strict security.

Instead, the lab is housed in a tall building that stands out like any other ordinary lab.

In this recreated world, the standards for ‘normality’ have changed.

As soon as I step into the lab, Rico starts jumping around and waving his hands.

“Mr. Robin! Mr. Davin is here!”

“Welcome, Davin. We have a lot of work to do right now. We need to redefine normalcy, and we need to catalog all the anomalous entities that pose a threat to humanity. The Foundation has suffered a great deal of data loss due to the destruction. Most of the documents need to be rewritten, and we need your advice here as well.”

Yebin, who had arrived first, came over and grabbed my sleeve.

“Dabin… … . It’s hard.”

Although it now has a human body, it was once an AI that resided within the Foundation’s servers.

I told him to use his major to help with the foundation’s work, but seeing it turn out like this makes me feel a little guilty.

That much, I have to work.

“Yebin, get some rest.”

“Hehehe… … .”

Yebin just laughs heartily at the simple word ‘rest’.

How long have you been rolling the baby?

“Mr. Robin. Where are Shim Ji-hee and Choi Won?”

These two are the ones who actually lead the organization.

If I see your face, I have to say something.

Robin looked at my face, then raised his hand and pointed inside the lab.

“Everyone is having a really hard time.”

Two people in white lab coats are holding each other’s hands.

He was asleep, lying face down on the desk.

The surrounding area is filled with empty coffee cups and cans of energy drinks.

“You two. I guess you’re not used to staying up all night.”

Rico says with a smile.

“Staying up for three nights is something that requires practice.”

“Is that all you did?”

“I tried to stop them too. They said they couldn’t rest. So. I showed them a taste of the lab.”

“Gasp… … .”

“Anyway, Dabin, please come too. We were short on people at the time.”

“I’m not a researcher, just an advisor. You know that, right?”

“Okay. Okay, I understand. So wear this.”

Rico comes up behind me and semi-forcibly puts a white lab coat on me.

“You have to use this too because it can be dangerous.”

Laboratory safety glasses were also placed over the eyes.

“Ah… … .”

“Okay. Let’s start again.”

Robin covers the two sleeping people, Sim Ji-hee and Choi Won, with a blanket and says.

The more you look at him, the more you realize that he has a surprisingly warm side.

“As I said before, there are many roles that Dabin has to take on.”

“Yes.”

I don’t know how much work there is, though.

“You should try it.”

I guess I should give it a try.

Isn’t that what it means to be alive?

To avoid falling into futility and being forgotten, constantly focus on the present.

Don’t get too caught up in fate and become frustrated.

And, I will always do my best to survive.

I stretched and looked up at the lab ceiling.

I’m going to be super busy from now on.

But, it is also exciting.

You can also enjoy research.

When all this is over, I might try to become a webtoon writer again.

Of course I’ll fail again, but I don’t believe in talent or destiny anymore.

That’s why I’m alive. That’s why everyone can live.

Finally, stretch your arms out.

Following Rico and Robin, I walked into the lab.
