I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga

Bright sunlight poured down over my head.

“…!”

Clatter!

The moment I realized this, I jumped up from my seat in surprise.

Outside the window, the sun was already high in the sky.

I should have gone out for exercise at 4 a.m., but I overslept for the first time in a while.

Last night, just in case, I went to bed naked, and now I hastily reached for the clothes hanging on the chair.

And then I paused.

My arm, which had become thin as a twig due to the side effects of the medicine, was back to its original log-like thickness.

It had only been one day since Saya left my body.

Yet, the effects were already showing.

Maybe it was thanks to the beef and eel I ate a lot of yesterday.

‘I should get dressed first.’

Instead of the old clothes I temporarily wore, I put on my usual clothes.

A perfect fit.

This was normal, but I felt quite emotional about it.

I never thought I’d experience the cliché of realizing the importance of something after losing it.

After putting on some comfortable clothes, I went to the living room and didn’t feel any presence.

It seemed like they had gone down to the restaurant to prepare for opening.

Even after coming home, I deliberately avoided my parents, so I didn’t see their faces for almost a week.

I’d inadvertently become an unfilial child, so I went downstairs to the store on the first floor to show my face.

“Ah! Son! You seemed to be in pain. Is it okay for you not to sleep more?”

That was what my mother said as soon as she saw my face.

“Me?”

Confused and tilting my head in surprise, my mother, removing the towel she had on her head, said,

“In the early morning, hearing strange noises, I opened the door and saw you groaning in your sleep. So, I quietly closed the door and left.”

Fortunately, it seemed my mother saw me after my body had returned to normal.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to speak so calmly.

Relieved by that fact, I realized that groaning in pain early in the morning was the reason I overslept.

“Shouldn’t you go to the hospital? You were sweating a lot.”

Since I started exercising, my body has become too healthy, and I haven’t been sick once, but my mother worried about my health first.

“Today is Saturday, so I’m not sure if there’s a clinic open. If there is one, I’ll go.”

“Good thinking. Go up and rest.”

“Yes. I’ll just see dad for a moment.”

After showing my face to my father in the kitchen, I spoke to my mother before going back upstairs.

“I’m back.”

Then, my mother looked at me with a “Huh?” expression, and after realizing what I meant, she answered with a faint smile.

“Welcome back.”

The summer vacation was very very long.

And now, its end was unexpectedly close.

Reflecting on it, this summer vacation seemed much more eventful than the last.

This meant that my narrow social circle had expanded, but it also implied that a significant part of the original story, which I was unaware of, had already progressed.

‘There will be more events waiting in the second semester.’

Invariably, the second semester of a love comedy was a succession of major events.

Especially in the second year, there were school trips, athletic meets, and cultural festivals, which were essential elements.

Having read too many love comedies, I felt like I could predict the upcoming developments, but there was also a part that worried me.

‘The Seven Powers.’

The frequency of their mention was too high to be just a passing plot point.

Ivan Romanov, whom I first defeated, Fuma Kotaro, the father of Senior Fuma, and Li Mei Ling, who returned to China, were all related to the Seven Powers.

I had a feeling that ‘The Seven Powers’ would be the keyword that runs through the entire plot of this shonen-style battle narrative.

Moreover, Mahes, the Egyptian ghost attached to Ryuji, was not ordinary either.

‘I’ll have to work harder after school starts.’

I couldn’t go to the gym much during the summer vacation, unintentionally.

It was inevitable due to weekly appointments, but to compensate for the muscle loss, I’d need to put in twice the usual effort.

I was so absent from the gym that the manager worriedly asked if I had lost interest in fitness.

I had to sweat to reassure him that wasn’t the case.

Especially when I said I could quit adult videos but not the gym, the manager was moved to tears, sensing the sincerity in my words.

They say that in their fifties, due to increased female hormones, one’s emotional sensitivity peaks, and it seems to be true.

To think that a man who looked like the world’s strongest was weeping like that.

Anyway, that was enough about the gym. With school starting soon, there was one more important thing left for me to do.

That was to finish my summer vacation homework.

I thought I had done quite a bit in the first week of the vacation, but there was still a considerable amount left.

It seemed like it would take half a day to complete it all.

‘But before that, I have to go pick up Saya.’

It had already been three days since I temporarily left her with Sasha, who knew about the underworld.

It would be better to quickly bring her back before anything would happen to her body.

I stopped by the restaurant and told my mother that I would be going out to meet a friend for a bit.

“Will you be late?”

“No, it will only take an hour or two. I’ll be back by evening at the latest.”

After telling my mother that, I headed to the subway station to go to the hotel in Akihabara where Sasha was staying.

“I’ve come to meet Aleksandra Ivanovna Romanova.”

“Ah, yes. I’ll guide you this way.”

The person standing at the hotel front was the same as the one from three days ago, but their reaction was markedly different.

When I came in a younger appearance, they looked at me as if they were proud, but now they seemed a bit intimidated.

Anyway, after taking the elevator to the top floor suite, Boris was already there to meet me.

When I visited last time, it felt like I was facing a gigantic statue, but now it didn’t bother me.

“You really suit that appearance.”

Boris said that, casually complimenting me, and then started walking ahead without looking back.

To me, it seemed like he was embarrassed.

Following Boris, we arrived in the living room.

I was surprised to see Sasha with her hair turned snow-white.

“Ah, have you come? Kim Yu-seong.”

Sasha, the person in question, greeted me with an unconcerned expression.

“What exactly happened? And where is Saya?”

Sasha then spoke casually, as if it were nothing, brushing her hands off.

“Don’t be so anxious; there’s plenty of time. The explanation is going to be quite long.”

She said that, giggling, and then took a sip from the glass on the table.

At first, I thought it was water, but smelling it, it seemed like alcohol.

“Is that vodka?”

“Yeah, do you want a drink too?”

Sasha asked, offering the glass with her lip marks on it.

“No, I’ll pass.”

I couldn’t drink something stronger than beer, which already made me blackout after a few cans.

“Okay? If you don’t want to, no problem.”

Sasha said that and tilted her glass again.

“So, what happened to Saya?”

“She’s right in front of you.”

“What?”

“She’s inside my body now. Saya is.”

Sasha said that, poking her chest with her finger, and then explained how it happened.

“I found out while living with Saya that we got along better than expected. So, I tried a complete possession as a test, and it turns out I can use Saya’s powers.”

Sasha said this with a smile, and then suddenly dropped the glass she was holding to the floor.

Huh?

The glass, which should have shattered upon hitting the floor, stopped mid-air as if by magic.

“This is Saya’s ability ‘Freeze.’ She can momentarily freeze objects, living beings, and even time.”

“Even time?”

I realized that when I fought Saya, my body’s periodic freezing was because of this ‘Freeze.’

Moreover, stopping time was like a completely overpowered ability.

“The duration seems to be a maximum of 5 seconds, but honestly, even that alone is incredible, isn’t it?”

“…That’s true.”

Considering the yin energy Saya possessed, I knew she was almost like a great ghost, but I had no idea she also had the ability to stop time.

In a battle narrative, such a character would almost be boss-level, right?

“But there’s just one problem.”

“What is it?”

“It’s extremely cold.”

Sasha said this while shivering, then poured more vodka into her empty glass and drank it.

It seemed she was drinking not to get drunk, but to stay alive.

“Then you should just end the possession.”

“I waited in this state to surprise you when you came.”

Indeed, it was surprising, in a different sense.

The sudden change from normal hair color to completely white was startling.

Well, it was originally blue, so maybe not so normal?

“Anyway, you seem tired, so end it now.”

Sasha nodded obediently and closed her eyes.

Then, something like a white soul slowly emerged from her body.

It was Saya, whose form had been invisible.

“Why did you come so late?”

“I came exactly on the promised day.”

I looked at Saya, who was talking nonsense, with disbelief and then let out a small sigh.

“Anyway, let’s go. I have to go home and do my homework.”

Saya looked at me as if I were absurd, then came closer with a smirk.

“Yeah. Let’s go back.”
