NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Killed by jinx in the first simulation, very unlucky
[Your understanding of engineering is rapidly improving as you stare at the shapes drawn on the giant green blackboard with your eyes shining].
[When Heimerdinger sees you raise your hand in the middle of class, he remembers that you were there and apologizes and tells you that you can leave the classroom, but you forget everything and say that there is something you don't understand about the advanced thermophysics drawings while passionately looking at the blackboard. Heimerdinger looks at you and the blackboard in amazement and sees that the easter egg he hid in the drawing was actually discovered by you].
[You have been called a genius by Heimerdinger and are now allowed to take private lessons from any professor or teacher at any time].
"Wow, this ability is more functional than I expected. I guess green abilities are more advanced than orange ones"
[narrator] Three more years have passed. You can now build machines that can lift tons of weight using simple materials, but there's one problem: your hands aren't as steady as a master engineer's. You're frustrated because you're constantly making mistakes when dealing with precision machines, and while you're wandering around, you meet Jayce, your senior].
[Jayce knows that you are a genius who has been doing research on how to convert precision operations into non-precision operations because of your non-precision hands and asks for your help with something].
"Hmm Hextec maybe? It's pretty incredible that this guy would ask me to help him with something like that, but good for me"
[On your way to Jayce's house a monkey toy falls on your head and when you look up you see a blue haired girl hiding on the roof. Thinking that they are Zaunian brats who like to bother people, you ignore them and continue to follow Jayce].
"Jinx is finally on stage huh!"
[Jayce is about to enter the house when you bump into his back and he looks at you to see what's going on. You are horrified as you look at the toy in your hand. It's like when you use iron supports to stack the Jenga stones, only to realize that someone is relying on their balance to stack them upright. You think of the little girl with the blue hair when you realize that the construction of the toy in your hand is all about instinct and balance].
[When Jayce calls you, you then decide to go find her because you believe that if you can train her, she will fill your gaps].
[The moment you enter Jayce's house, you meet the girl you've been thinking about. Both of you are of similar age but have completely different physical characteristics. She immediately starts to run away, but Jayce sees that they are thieves and chases them.]
[You try to stop Jayce because you're afraid he's going to hurt her, but the four kids take this opportunity to trash the house and escape. Jayce looks at you angrily before running out of the house to follow them and you have no choice but to bow your head and apologize and tell him that they are just kids. Just after Jayce leaves the house, you see a blue ball that emits strange energies roll and hit your foot. Boom!!!]
"Fuck my luck! Why the fuck did you invite me home today of all days, Jayce the bastard!"
[The voices become clearer as you slowly open your eyes and find yourself being crushed under a large chunk of wall. Meanwhile, you see four children walking further and further away from you. When the blue-haired girl turns around and notices you, she immediately leaves the other children and runs to you, trying to lift you out from under the rubble. She knows that it is because of you that they were able to escape just now and she is very grateful to you for that. Meanwhile the other children arrive and try to pull you out from under the wall at the risk of being arrested].
[Before you lose consciousness, you grab the blue-haired girl's hand with your free hand and tell her to make good use of these skillful hands].
[Simulation is over. Evaluation has begun...]
Eren gets emotional as he imagines the scene his character experienced before dying. Unfortunately, this moment doesn't last long before the heart, affected by the hormone secretion, causes Eren to collapse in pain.
...
Hana had gone out to dinner with her coworkers all night long. Since Hana had a very cold character at work, her workmates didn't really understand her. So until today, whenever they went to dinner after work, they could chat about their boyfriends without hesitation. According to them, Hana didn't care what they said, but they were completely wrong.
Whenever the girls started talking about their boyfriends, Hana would cry inside and pray to God that they would change the subject. But today was different...
During one conversation, one of the girls complained that her boyfriend's hair was too tight and asked the other girls to tell them what hairstyle would look good on a man with tight hair. While the girls were arguing, Hana said in a barely audible voice, "When men with dense hair grow their hair long, it starts to take shape. Tell him to grow it out, and when it's long enough you can decide by looking at his hair. Mine is almost straight but a little wavy, so I let him leave it messy."
The girls fell silent as soon as Hana started talking and listened to what she was saying. When Hana finished talking about men's hair like she was an expert, the girls screamed at the same time and surrounded her and started asking her questions about her boyfriend.
Hana reluctantly answered them, hiding Eren's bad points while pretending to be uncomfortable with the pressure, but Hana's soul was screaming and spinning around in joy.
For years, Hana had been dreaming of this moment and had almost gone mad. Fortunately, she finally took a risk and realized her dream.
As Hana walked away from the other girls on her way home, she started laughing to herself in a lonely alley. The sound of her creepy laughter would give the homeless man sleeping behind the garbage on the corner of the alley a few days of nightmares, but Hana didn't care. Today was the day she reached the peak of her life.
When she had calmed down enough, she decided to go and kiss her boyfriend a little and went home, but the moment she entered the house, she was greeted by Eren's body slumped in the living room.
