Chapter 1 ♦ This novel takes place in an Omegaverse world, where the names of individuals, titles, and organizations mentioned are entirely fictional. The historical events portrayed in the story differ from reality, and the ethical standards within the sports society, as well as the nature and regulations of all sports, are also fictionalized. prologue ‘Of all things,’ Jiheon thought. Yet, he remained uncertain whether misfortune had conspired against him or if it was simply a string of coincidences. It felt more like a minor twist of fate rather than a streak of bad luck.
Wasn’t this the case? After all, the timing couldn’t be ignored—it all unfolded on the very day of the new employees’ welcome party. 「The upcoming event is the men’s 200m individual medley final at the Cairo Olympic Swimming Stadium.
