How Many Kilograms of Dumbbells Have You Lifted?

The sun shines. Sunlight, cleverly finding its way through the gaps in the curtains, pokes at my eyes.

The glare hurts my eyes, and I turn my head, but I’m already awake.

“Ugh, damn it…”

A splitting headache, a pasty taste in my mouth, and a bloated stomach.

A triple whammy that makes it impossible to sleep, even though I want to.

My back aches from lying on the hard floor for too long.

I sit up, and my body creaks and groans involuntarily.

“Did I possess a body that’s about to die?”

My raspy voice wasn’t exactly pleasant to hear.

I scratched my itchy back vigorously and looked around. I was sitting in a house that was a complete mess.

Soju bottles and beer bottles were lying on their sides, alcohol spilled from their mouths.

Half-chewed squid legs spat out, snack bags scattered around, and crumbs stuck to my body.

A heavy belly that restricted my movements, a sluggish body.

As I slowly looked around the house to assess the situation, I heard a familiar sound.

Ting

[Dimensional Shift Count: 5]

[Cause of Death in Previous Dimension: Straight Punch]

“You sent me off cleanly.”

Master must have smashed my head in without giving me a chance to feel any pain, just as I asked.

Now my connection with her is over.

I had grown fond of her, and I felt a little sad, but I felt a bit better because I had done something meaningful, unlike in the previous dimensions.

I gave that damn Namgoong Soyeon a taste of her own medicine, so I have to keep remembering that.

I’ll put the awesome memories of the previous world neatly in a box called “memories” and adapt to the new world I’m settling in.

“It’s Korea.”

I felt a little relieved at the sight of the familiar Korean letters printed on the snack bag.

It won’t take me too long to adapt.

The martial arts world was good in many ways, but the internet, the toilets, and many other things were inconvenient.

It was a bit difficult for a modern person like me to adapt completely.

“Oof…”

I tried to get up, brushing off the crumbs stuck to my body, but my whole body screamed.

I wondered if getting up had always been this difficult.

I went to the bathroom to examine the person I had possessed this time.

I opened the doors of a few other rooms before I could find the bathroom.

“Hmm…”

There was a middle-aged man in front of the mirror.

Until now, whenever I shifted to another dimension, I possessed someone with a fairly handsome face, so I was very disappointed this time.

To put it nicely, he’s unlikable. To put it badly, he’s really, really awful.

A stubble that hadn’t grown properly, greasy, outdated shaggy hair, a thick double chin and belly…

“Is this my body now?”

I turned my body this way and that, grabbing the excess fat, and my hands were full.

I came out of the bathroom and looked around the house, and the mess caught my eye.

Not only the living room where I woke up, but also the kitchen was full of flies because I hadn’t cleaned up the food I had ordered.

It seemed that I was the only one living in the house, and the spare rooms were covered in a layer of dust.

Apart from that, the house was really big and obviously nice.

It was definitely the kind of house that a commoner like me could only dream of.

“Looks like he has some money.”

I muttered, roughly gathering the trash with my feet.

Normally, the first thing I should do is figure out what kind of person I possessed…

“Ugh, pigsty…”

The first thing I had to do was clean the house.

“Ah, so refreshing!”

After cleaning the house neatly, I took a shower and felt a rush of refreshment.

I had been in a dirty state for so long that my appearance before and after the shower was very different.

First, I shaved my stubble cleanly with a razor, and I plucked the hairs that had grown ambiguously on my chest with tweezers.

I lathered up enough with body wash and scrubbed every corner of my body, especially the folded parts, and the strange musty smell from before was gone.

I scrubbed my hair and scalp thoroughly with shampoo. It was almost like doing laundry.

I still didn’t like the shaggy hair, but it was a problem that could be solved by going to a hair salon, so I put it off until later.

I shook my head with a towel and went into the study – this house even has a study – to find out exactly what kind of person the original owner was.

Age 40, no decent job, likes analog things, so there are a lot of documents.

“What’s this?”

I picked up a file from the pile of documents scattered on the desk.

It was a file with the name Kim Hospital Comprehensive Medical Examination Center and the hospital logo, and it seemed to be a health checkup result.

The information I obtained by flipping through the files one by one was that the body I possessed was in a state where it wouldn’t be strange if it died soon.

“High blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and yet he drinks and smokes every day…”

The doctor’s opinion was that he should stay away from alcohol and cigarettes.

“Could it be that the reason I possessed this body is… because he died from drinking?”

I was dumbfounded by the plausible hypothesis.

I turned on the computer in the study and opened my cell phone.

Fortunately, it was fingerprint recognition, so I didn’t have to go through the trouble of finding the password.

While I was skimming through the KakaoTalk history, the booting was completed, and I shifted my gaze to the desktop.

“There are no games… If he puts porn so openly, it seems like he lives alone… What’s this?”

When I turned on the internet browser, the name of a certain site in the favorites caught my eye.

“Oceania TV?”

I wondered what it was, so I went in, and it was an internet broadcasting platform.

“I’m automatically logged in.”

I skimmed through the names of the broadcasts I enjoyed watching, and they were all Broadcasting Jockeys.

I clicked on the Broadcasting Jockeys at the very top.

After a short loading period, a half-naked woman appeared on the screen.

The time is 10 a.m. now. I wondered if it wasn’t too early to be half-naked…

Is it a recording? I checked the broadcast title.

The woman on the screen stopped caressing her body and briefly shifted her gaze to the left.

And after a while.

-Oh, Chairman oppa is here? Supreme oppa, hello?

A cheerful voice greeted.

Wow, but the ID is Supreme? I don’t know who it is, but they named it like an old geezer.

But what’s my ID?

[Supreme Landlord]

“…What the fuck is this.”

It was the moment I felt like I knew the original owner’s lifestyle.
