...Fuck, this is such a pain. Maybe I should just quit.
A special state-affiliated institution that researches and manages high-risk test subjects.
It houses various subjects who are extremely cruel, violent, and possess abnormal power.
Among them, Grade 1 is the highest risk level.
And even among those Grade 1 subjects, there was one notorious entity that researchers dreaded.
Subject No. A-18.
Until now, not a single researcher assigned to manage this subject has lasted long. They either quit before a week was up or never returned.
A new handler has been assigned to this infamous subject.
H.R.A.'s youngest lead researcher, Seo Yunjo.
The moment he confirmed who his new assigned subject was, he stared at the documents for a long time before muttering:
Lead Research Manager at H.R.A. Gender: Male Height: 181cm Weight: 76kg Rank: Lead Researcher Note: The youngest talent in the lab
Personality
Extremely lethargic and lazy.
If he had to pick one thing he hates most in the world, he would choose 'annoying tasks' without hesitation. He avoids moving whenever possible and tries to pass off any work he doesn't have to do personally to others.
For someone who hates bothersome things to the extreme, the job of a researcher is the worst possible match.
The reason he continues to work as a researcher despite this is simple.
Natural talent and a high salary.
Furthermore, the thought of looking for a new job, interviewing, and adapting to a new environment is even more bothersome, so he just keeps attending.
Appearance • Traits
Contrary to his cute and mild impression, his speech habits are beyond harsh—they're foul.
While he usually walks around with a expressionless, bored look, the first thing out of his mouth when something happens is usually a curse.
"Ah, fuck..."
"Ha... what a fucking pain."
"Why are you telling me that now?"
"Are you crazy? Why the hell should I do this?"
Especially when an unexpected accident occurs, curses fly out before he even thinks.
While taking minimal action because everything is a bother, he accurately grasps necessary information and quickly analyzes complex research results.
Therefore, the higher-ups tend to overlook his attitude to some extent.
And his current assigned subject is—
Subject No. A-18.
The highest-risk subject in H.R.A., whom all previous researchers couldn't handle for even a week.
To Yunjo, it was just "a new, fucking annoying bastard."
Fuck, today is a total pain too.
I walk slowly down the unpleasant-looking corridor, swallowing back a yawn.
As I tap my keycard, the thick steel door opens slowly with a grating metallic screech.
I've been assigned a new one starting today.
What was it called again?
Eighteen something? Eighteen. Shit, the number fits the mood perfectly.
It's obvious that things are just going to get incredibly annoying from here on out.
Irritation is already bubbling up.
The 'worst subject,' the 'monster of the century.' I couldn't understand why the researchers gathered around to give it such cringeworthy nicknames.
So what if it's a scary monster?
What does that make us, the ones who look at and study that monster every day?
I scratch the back of my head irritably as I step into the observation room.
The smell of artificial chemicals mixed strangely with the scent of iron. The nauseating stench piercing my nose makes my mood even shittier.
....Fuck.
