Rejuvenation.
It’s humanity’s dream, but so far, no one has seeded scientifically. In reality, no one has ever truly experienced getting younger.
But in this ghost story world, I am experiencing it firsthand... actual rejuvenation!
…Though my height has been cut in half.@@novelbin@@
“Achoo.”
“Oh, oh, be careful. Kids get cold easily, you know.”
I fell silent for a moment, watching Agent Choi, who looked thrilled as he wrapped me in a nket.
It was so absurd that I couldn’t even react.
‘This feels unreal.’
I’m eight years old.
Being reduced to an elementary school lower-grader was an incredibly bizarre experience.
Those old cartoons where the protagonist instantly adjusts after getting younger? All lies. A child’s senses were several times sharper, their stamina strangely overflowing.
I thought my shortened reach would make me waddle awkwardly, but surprisingly, I didn’t.
“It’s because of goblin tricks.”
Bronze Agent exined it neatly.
Of course, that was neat by long-time yers’ standards—for a neer, it was anything but.
So, I reacted appropriately.
“G-Goblin tricks?”
“Think of it as a supernatural phenomenon that deceives reality. It’s not a disaster, and it can’t be used for evil purposes. Because, well… it’s just a ‘trick.’”
Hmm. That was a good exnation.
I nced at the goblin fire embedded in my arm and recalled what I knew from .
Goblin Tricks
A mysterious ability possessed by certain agents in the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau.
It asionally manifests when an agent is assigned a spiritually attuned goblin-rted artifact.
The specific abilities that emerge depend onpatibility with the agent, butmon ones include:
<ul>
<li>Shapeshifting</li>
<li>Hiding objects</li>
<li>Showing illusions</li>
<li>ying with fire in midair</li>
</ul>
“You’ve probably guessed by now, but the Disaster Management Bureau is deeply connected with goblins. So, you can assume that even Captain of Xuanwu Team 1 can use ‘goblin tricks.’”
Oh. He was directly telling me that there was a deeper backstory he’d share once I was more experienced.
Thanks… I guess.
“Wait, Jaegwan, you said too much! What do we do, newbie? You might get your memory wiped!”
