Chapter 15
A week passed quickly.
It was a time marked by muscle soreness and the adjustments to the new house. Aside from the muscle-tearing pain and the occasional tears from training, nothing particularly special happened that week.
The schedule ended precisely at 6 p.m., but by then, I had no energy left for anything else. I staggered through dinner, then buried myself in the beanbag chair, scrolling through my smartphone to pass the time.
Whenever I used my phone, I searched for and read articles about Black Badger.
I couldn't read for long because sleep crashed over me overwhelmingly. Still, I learned a fair amount about my boss living next door and the organization under his command.
Supreme Commander Lee Ye-hyeon.
Actual age 78. Physical age 25. A war hero who survived two wars. The one who took down a tier 10 creature that appeared during the First War.
He rose to power through that achievement and held onto that position ever since. He faced criticism as a dictator for his unusually long tenure, but he led the organization without any major scandals or incidents. Society viewed him as something of an icon for Black Badger.
Even on the screen, Ye-hyeon looked strikingly pale and handsome. Online, he was called by various nicknames: hero of turbulent times, pretty boy, vampire.
