Chapter Title: No Apocalypse, You Idiots!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone believes in the apocalypse.
1999. People convinced that the end of the world is nigh.
...Was the vibe really like this back then?
I wouldn't know.
Yoo Juhan, 21 years old.
Nobody gives a damn, but if I don't drill it into myself like this, it feels like I'll forget who I even am.
A world gone mad.
The miracle—no, curse—that befell me after begging and pleading not to get drafted into the army.
I didn't ask for it to happen like this.
No smartphones. No YouTube. No streaming or anything.
Dad called this the "age of romance," but to me, it was nothing but the age of ruin.
The streets were pandemonium.
The TV was yapping nonstop about how the damn Millennium Bug would bring about the end times, while some nutjob screamed in the town square for everyone to repent right that instant.
"No apocalypse here, you idiots!"
Probably how Pythagoras felt yelling at flat-Earthers that the planet was round.
I can't tell if this era was really always like this or if something's twisted the past into this mess.
One thing's for sure: this ain't the 1999 I remember.
Ding!
What the hell is this?
