A Life Cut Short

In the dimly lit room, the soft glow of a computer screen illuminated Jin-Ho's face as he lost himself in the world of "Lookism."

His room was filled with the aroma of instant ramen, a typical dinner for a college student living on a tight budget.

Jin-Ho was no exception; he spent most of his days studying, attending classes, and reading webtoons.

It was another ordinary evening for Jin-Ho. He had a knack for picking up new webtoons to read, but "Lookism" had a special place in his heart.

The story's blend of drama, action, and its exploration of societal issues kept him hooked, page after page.

With a sigh of contentment, he clicked on the latest chapter and immersed himself in the world of Daniel Park and the gang at J High School.

As he read, Jin-Ho's eyes widened in anticipation. The storyline was reaching a crucial point, and he couldn't help but get invested in the characters' struggles and triumphs.

He was so engrossed in the latest chapter that he didn't notice the strange feeling that suddenly washed over him.

A sharp pain shot through Jin-Ho's chest, making him gasp and clutch his heart.

Panic seized him as he fumbled for his phone to dial 911, but his vision blurred, and he dropped the device.

He couldn't breathe, couldn't call for help. In those final moments, he clung to the image of the "Lookism" characters, hoping that somehow, he'd find himself in their world.

The pain intensified, and then, everything went dark.

Jin-Ho awoke to a world of confusion. He expected to find himself in some kind of afterlife, but what he saw was far from his imagination.

He was standing in a hallway, surrounded by lockers, and the unmistakable sounds of a bustling high school filled the air.

This wasn't the afterlife; this was something entirely unexpected.

Jin-Ho looked down at his hands and saw the uniform of a high school student.

He ran his fingers through his hair and felt that he was indeed a high school student, complete with a backpack slung over his shoulder. He was in the world of "Lookism."

As Jin-Ho navigated his way through the crowded hallways, he couldn't help but notice the uncanny familiarity of the people around him.

There were students who resembled the characters from the webtoon he loved, and the setting was unmistakably J High School.

It was as if he had been transported into the very world he had been reading about.

With each passing moment, Jin-Ho's heart raced. This wasn't a dream, and it certainly wasn't a hallucination.

He was a part of the "Lookism" universe. But how was it possible? What had happened to him?

Lost in thought, Jin-Ho didn't notice a group of students approaching him. They wore intimidating expressions and appeared ready to cause trouble.

One of them, a tall, muscular boy, stepped forward and leered at Jin-Ho.

"Who are you, new kid?" he asked, his tone filled with hostility.

Jin-Ho's mind raced as he tried to find the right words. He had to fit in and make sense of this bizarre situation. He decided to play it safe for now.

"I'm Jin-Ho," he replied, trying to sound confident but not too confrontational. "I'm new here. Just transferred in."

The tall boy's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jin-Ho. "We'll be keeping an eye on you, Jin-Ho," he warned before walking away with his group.

As they departed, Jin-Ho realized that he was now a character within the story he had cherished.

He had the power to master anything he saw, and he was determined to make the most of this extraordinary opportunity. (This is basically the system)

"Yeah, that's what I mean," Jin-Ho muttered to himself, his mind buzzing with excitement and a hint of trepidation.

He had entered a new chapter in his life, quite literally, and he was ready to make his mark on the world of "Lookism."
