"Argh...." Seol So-Young groaned in sleep.
"!" She snapped open her eyes and sat straight.
"Cough.... cough...cough?" She coughed instantly to get out the Choco lava cake, but she then coughed awkwardly because she didn't have the suffocating feeling anymore.
"I am never buying ever again.... except for today and tomorrow...." She mumbled under her breath and looked up at the sky.....sky?
"Huh? Where...am I?" She mumbled while gazing at the beautiful blue sky and trees surrounding her.
'Have I been kidnapped? What? What is this? A hidden camera?' She gazed around as her mind ran at full speed, trying to find a conclusion for the predicament she was in.
"Did I unknowingly buy THAT brownie, instead of a Choco lava cake?" Seol So-Young mumbled, panicked.
SNIFF
"Hm? What's that?" She sniffed, and some kind of irony scent trickled into her nostrils. She frowned and quickly hid behind the tree, her back facing the tree.
BA-THUMP (5x)
She wanted to scream if it was a hidden camera or something, but since the moment she opened her eyes, there had been a certain ominous feeling that was stopping her from doing anything.
CRUNCH (3x)
A crunching sound sounded from the opposite side of the tree she hid behind; yes, if she hadn't taken any action and stood back there motionlessly, then the crunchy sound would have sounded right in front of her.
BA-THUMP (6x)
Her heartbeat instantly sped up by a notch, she placed her hand on her chest while covering her mouth with the other, and she glanced back with cold sweat forming on her forehead.
'Shut it! I'm going to die because of you!' She thought—she didn't exactly know why—but she knew that she would die if she made too much sound.
'What kind of nightmare is this? Was that brownie too much?' She thought. Yes, she had already accepted the fact that what she ate the last night was brownie and not a Choco lava cake, or there is no way in hell, that she would dream of such absolutely terrifying things.
She had unknowingly drugged herself to sleep in her room, and whatever was happening right now was due to its effects, or that's was the conclusion she came to. And she was now tripping without even knowing whether it really was day or she was sleeping in room at night.
"Grr...." A growl sounded behind the tree and Seol So-Young froze, and....
GROOOOWWWLLLL
"...." Her stomach too growled in hunger and silence descended upon the area.
'F**k! F**king....please shut up!' She cursed inwardly and took a deep breath before covering her nose to halt her breathing for a while.
"Oup...." And an "oup" sound escaped her mouth as she closed her mouth after taking a mouthful of extra air.
"Grr...." Another growl sounded as sniffing sounds sounded behind the tree she hid. And....
GRRRROOOWWWLLLLL
"...." Her stomach growled again.
"...."
'F**k!' She cursed inwardly and....
"Grrraa!!!" A loud wolf's growl sounded, and Seol So-Young understood that she had been found out; she removed her hands and dashed forward without looking back.
CRUNCH (9x)
"....." She involuntarily closed her mouth as she dashed.
"Rruff, grrfff, grrra!!" Soon not one but four wolves' growls sounded behind her, but without even trying to get a glimpse of the danger behind her, she dashed.
'F**k, f**k, f**k!!!'

A very few minutes later.
"Huff...huff...huff...huff...." Seol So-Young huffed and gasped for air while still dashing with a mini pack of wolves on her back that were, unfortunately for her, very persistent.

"Argh!!! F**k off!! I can't see what's ahead!" Seol So-Young yelled amid her huffs and puffs.
"Ah... goddammit, alright, alright, system window!!" She yelled, thinking maybe it would clear up the sh*t ton of holograms in front of her.... holograms?
'System? Huh? WTF?' She then realised that this.... the holograms were yet to be invented on earth, what is this? Is this a prank? Nah, it may not be; maybe she was just dreaming; yes, that is the only explanation for this unknown situation.

"Huff...huff....huff...huff..." She stopped running and turned around to face the wolves.
"Yuck...." She spat in disgust, the wolves had ten eyes and were three meters tall, they had a strange yet clear smug grin on their faces that displayed that they were playing around with her and could have killed her whenever they wanted to.
Her gaze was fixated on the wolves, which weren't moving for whatever reasons, but Seol So-Young's gaze wasn't exactly fixated on them; it was fixated on the status window in front of her.
She had clicked on the [Traits] and [Skills] options displayed on the status window.

['Titles' have been added!]
['Outsider' title has been rewarded.]
[Outsider: Laws of the physical world will not apply to the user. [Can only be activated once a day] [Surrounds the user in an otherworldly aura when equipped] ['Desires' can be added to the aura]]
'Equip, Outsider. Activate Sprint. Mind's eye.' She activated all of her skills and titles because she thought she should go all out and enjoy to her heart's content, at least in her dream.
"How dare you think you can play with me. I'll kill you, you sons of a bit*hes!" She yelled, and due to the title, an extremely fierce aura surrounded her weak a*s body, and due to her roar, the desire added to that aura became a killing intent. A pale black aura began to ooze out of her body; even So-Young, who saw her aura, could tell it was too weak to do anything, but the wolves' gazes said otherwise.
The wolves flinched and took a step back while growling loudly. Looking at the sight in front of her, So-Young gained some confidence, and because she was feeling all of her leg muscles tensing due to the sprint skill activation, she thought she shouldn't waste time and "dashed" forward.
WHOOOSH
Maybe it was because of her mind's eye skill, but her gaze didn't avert while she "dashed." She saw the wolf's gaze still in the spot where she previously stood, and though she didn't understand why, she used that opportunity and...
BAM!
She added all her body weight, which wasn't much, and punched at the wolf that seemingly stood at the front. Then suddenly, the wolf's body flew back and hit the tree very loudly!
Or that's what she narrated in her mind, but the wolf was slightly pushed back by foot distance with a small whimper before glaring down at So-Young.
"Ha, haha, ha...." She laughed awkwardly and turned around while maintaining eye contact.
"Kyaaaa!!!!" and dashed.
