Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 135

June 21, 2015

“Simms, are you really not going to tell me?”

My parents are going to die.

The cause of death is clear.

‘A slick, rain-soaked road from heavy monsoon rains.

An oncoming truck with poorly maintained tires.

A deer that suddenly jumped out.’

Three unforgettable factors.

At the time, I was overwhelmed by resentment and despair. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Now, the chance to prevent it is right in front of me.

But I have no idea how to actually stop it.

‘Would it be enough to simply stop them from getting in the car? Could that really solve it?’

Fate’s inertia, the fixed nature of the future—

Concepts I’d seen in movies, comics, and dramas.

Processes that inevitably lead to certain events.

Given those thoughts, I couldn’t shake the feeling that they’d end up in that car one way or another.

‘And so far, it’s been eerily accurate.’

Not once had the future I knew deviated from what actually happened.

‘It might happen sooner or later than expected, but it’s always happened.’

What’s meant to happen will happen.

That’s why I tried to rely on Simms.

“Why aren’t you giving me an answer now of all times?”

Simms didn’t send a single message.

Maybe it hadn’t been sent yet.

Or maybe it wasn’t coming at all.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

When my thoughts got tangled, there was nothing better than running.

I pulled my cap low and headed outside.

‘Even winning awards at the end of the year doesn’t feel like anything.’

And then—

  • [Activating Hedgehog Protection Protocol.]
  • [Wishing you happiness.]Simms finally sent a message that instantly melted away my tension.

  • [Changing death is an extremely complex process.]
  • [To alter fate, several major turning points are required.]But it seemed that rewriting a predetermined fate came with conditions.

    Simms added a few specific requirements.

    And those requirements were...

  • [The first turning point is to be selected as the national representative for the heavyweight boxing division at the Rio Olympics.]
  • [Death will be deferred until then, but failure will trigger the predetermined outcome immediately.]“...Is this for real?”

    It aligned exactly with what I had already planned to do.

    ‘Wait... Does that mean the next step is winning a gold medal?’

    I was momentarily dumbfounded.

  • [The entire world must recognize your family relationships.]
  • Reading History

    No history.
