Online Novel – My Life Fell Apart Just Because the Chicken Breast Didn’t Arrive: Surviving in Bodybuilder Nation
🏛️ A Nation Where Bodybuilders Hold Power
There’s a country where only bodybuilders are revered.
Muscle equals character, and social status is determined by the thickness of your triceps.
Routines are the constitution, chicken breast is religion, and cheat days are treated like holidays.
💪 The Legendary 120kg Man
In that country lived a legendary bodybuilder weighing 120kg.
He ran 4km every day, climbed stairs wearing a weighted vest,
and ended each day with a ‘sculpted’ high-protein meal after his workout.
He was already on a different level from the average 90kg bodybuilders.
In a world where people get applause for benching 200kg,
he was the kind of man who used 300kg bench presses “just to loosen up his shoulders.”
📦 But That Day, Disaster Struck
But that day…
disaster arrived without warning.
The. Chicken. Breast. Didn’t. Arrive.
His peaceful gym-bro life began to crumble.
“What… why isn’t it here yet…? It was supposed to arrive in the morning… it’s 3 PM and still nothing…”
Anxiety gradually turned to irritation, irritation to unease, unease to despair.
His heart pounded for no reason,
and his muscles trembled with the fear of protein deficiency.
Just sitting still, he’d already lost 40% of his energy.
🏋️♂️ Workout Failure, Mental Collapse
That day’s workout was ruined.
Forget 300kg bench—he couldn’t even finish three sets before collapsing.
He couldn’t even start his sprint, just leaned against the wall in a daze.
He thought quietly to himself.
“I’m a failure… falling apart over one chicken breast…
Excessive ambition has swallowed me whole…”
He gave up on tomorrow’s bodybuilding competition.
(For reference, this competition is held daily. The only requirement is ‘worked out.’)
🧍♂️ The Attitude of Other Bodybuilders
Meanwhile, the 90kg bodybuilder finished his workout and said:
“Wow~ hit 200kg bench today. That’s awesome.
I could take a solid two weeks off and come back fresh~ Let’s get pizza!”
His words carried a carefree ease.
And the 70kg bodybuilder…
“Um… do I really have to work out…? I’ll just bring some dumbbells…
Ah, I should watch YouTube at home~ hehe~”
Three hours later, he was caught in a strange algorithm spiral, falling not into fitness but into a hellish rabbit hole…
🧠 Realization: I Was a Slave to Routine
That night, the 120kg bodybuilder realized something.
True exhaustion doesn’t start in the muscles—it starts in the mind.
The chicken breast not arriving was an event,
but feeling like ‘my life fell apart’ was an interpretation.
And that interpretation was created by himself—someone who’d lived too long as a slave to routine.
🎁 A Few Days Later, He Received Compensation
A few days later,
his chicken breast arrived.
But it wasn’t just any chicken breast.
Premium sous-vide chicken breast.
Incredibly tender and moist—the legendary ‘White Label Chicken Breast’ that was only whispered about in that country.
And it said lifetime supply.
However, there was a condition.
“The price has increased by 3%.
In return, you now receive a ‘recovery routine’ automatically each month.”
🧘 Closing: The Moment You Acknowledge Yourself
He laughed.
And muttered to himself:
“That makes sense… I’ve been living way too hard all this time.”
