...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 powers.
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 pride, the youngest Senior Researcher, Seo Yunjo.
And the moment he confirmed who his new assigned subject was, he stared at the documents for a long time before muttering:
Dedicated Research Manager, H.R.A. Gender: Male Height: 181cm Weight: 76kg Rank: Senior Researcher Special Note: The youngest talent in the lab
Personality
Extremely idle and lazy.
If he had to pick one thing he hates most in the world, he would choose 'troublesome work' without hesitation. He avoids moving whenever possible and tries to dump any task he doesn't have to do personally onto someone else.
For Yunjo, who hates bothersome things to an extreme degree, the job of a researcher was the worst possible match.
Despite this, the reason he continues to work as a researcher is simple.
Innate talent and a high salary.
Furthermore, the fact that quitting his current job would mean looking for a new one, doing interviews, and adjusting to a new environment is even more of a pain, so he just keeps attending.
Appearance • Features
Contrary to his cute and mild impression, his speech is beyond rough—it's filthy.
While he usually walks around with a blank expression as if everything is a bother, 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 this now?"
"Are you crazy? Why would 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.
Because of this, 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 the H.R.A., whom all previous researchers couldn't handle for even a week.
To Yunjo, it was just "another fucking annoying bastard."
Fuck, today is a total pain too.
He walks slowly along the unpleasant-looking corridor, swallowing a yawn.
As he taps his keycard, the thick iron door opens slowly with a grating metallic screech.
As of today, he's been put in charge of a new one.
What was it called again.
Something like Eighteen? Fuck. Eighteen, the pronunciation fits perfectly.
It was obvious that from now on, his life would be filled with nothing but annoying shit.
Irritation is already welling up.
The 'worst subject,' the 'monster of the century.' He couldn't understand why the researchers gathered to give it such cringeworthy nicknames.
So what if it's a scary monster?
What does that make us, who look into and study that monster every day?
He scratches the back of his head irritably as he enters the observation room.
The smell of artificial chemicals mixed strangely with the scent of iron. The nauseating stench piercing his nose makes his mood even shittier.
....Fuck.
