World-line Traveling (2)

<p>Disclaimer: This is a fan-fiction of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. I will be using the novel's English translation on Boxnovel as the base for my writing.<br/>I do not own anything (except this fan-fiction of course).<br/>Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is written by Sing-Shong.<br/>(The world-line that KDJ and YJK are in right now is a different 3rd regression turn.)<br/>******************************<br/>Kim Dokja found himself sitting in a train, facing the screen of his smartphone. He shifted his gaze and looked around him.<br/>It's just like that day.<br/>However, this time, Kim Dokja noticed, Yoo Sangah and Han Myungoh isn't here. Lee Gilyoung is also not in the carriage.<br/>Kim Dokja did see the short cut hair man who was one head taller than the average height. He also saw the thin male student with dyed white hair, leaning against the entrance. His name written on the badge attached to his uniform.<br/>「It seems only those two are here...so...next course of action?」<br/>Kim Dokja then saw the grasshoppers, but the grasshopper net isn't in the arms of the kid he know. A middle aged brown haired man carries the collection net. The man seem to be a zookeeper, so the grasshoppers are probably food for an animal or something.<br/>「I still have half of my original strength and full status from before the world-line jump. As for the Fables, Lynn had sealed them temporarily, so I can make the same Fables in this world-line as well. I should also temporarily suppress my level to unavoidable unnecessary attention.」<br/>Kim Dokja then turned back to his smartphone. The time is currently 6:59. One minute before the old world disappears and the new world begins.<br/>The smartphone had automatically sent him the confirmation message for downloading the novel. He looked up from his smartphone and gaze at the people around him, smiling wryly.<br/>Before anyone noticed his stare and wryly smile, the clock had already struck 7:00.<br/>The subway lights turned off, and the inside of the train became dark.<br/>Kiiiiiiiik-! The subway train shook loudly and let out a metallic sound.<br/>This caused people to start getting stirred up. It took a dozen seconds for the train to stop fully.<br/>Then confused voices started coming from everywhere in the carriage.<br/>"Uh, what?"<br/>"W-What is this?"<br/>In the dark, one or two smartphone lights turned on.<br/>The people kept fumbling around, questioning the subway train's sudden stop. After a minute came the engineer's announcement, –Telling all passengers on the train. Telling all passengers on the train.<br/>The loud surroundings became calm.<br/>–E-Everyone run away… Run…!<br/>'What?'<br/>There was a beeping sound, and the broadcast turned off. The inside of the train became a mess.<br/>A bright light flashed from the front of the subway train. There was a loud drumming sound followed by a pop.<br/>Something was heading this way in the darkness. The people in the carriage then heard a voice:<br/>[The free service of planetary system 8612 has been terminated.]<br/>[The main scenario has started.]<br/>* * *<br/>Kim Dokja felt a rush of excitement coming over him as he look at the familiar situation. He then looked toward the door that link this carriage to carriage 3707. Even with the door shut, and him standing meters away from it, Kim Dokja can feel the killing intents flowing fainting past the door. He has a high level of awareness after all.<br/>「It seems like carriage 3707 has already began, but then again, there is a terrorist in there after all. Yoo Jonghyuk won't hesitate to slaughter them all either, even if this is another world-line...」<br/>The door of car 3807 opened wide, the electricity returned, and in came the dokkaebi.<br/>[&아#@!&아#@!….]<br/>The dokkaebi momentarily struggled with the language patch.<br/>"What is this?"<br/>"Augmented reality?"<br/>The people in the carriage started to chat among themselves, now questioning the current situation.<br/>[Ah. Ah. Does this sound good? Ah, I had a hard time because the Korean patch didn't work. Everyone, can you hear my words?]<br/>As a familiar language was being spoken, the people's expressions relax. Kim Dokja, however, swiftly moved toward a corner expressionlessly.<br/>A big man in a suit was the first one to stand before the dokkaebi. "Hey, what are you doing right now?"<br/>[…Huh?]<br/>"Are you filming? I have to go because I have to quickly get to an audition." The man seemed to be an obscure actor since his face was unfamiliar. Kim Dokja faintly remember the man.<br/>The obscure actor was the first one that had died in this carriage.<br/>[Ah, auditions. That's right. This is also an audition. Haha, there was a shortage of data. I just entered when it was monetized at 7 p.m.]<br/>"What? What are you talking about?"<br/>[Now, now. All of you, relax in your seats and listen to me. From now on, I will tell you something very important!]<br/>"What? Quickly get off the train!"<br/>"Somebody call the captain!"<br/>"What are they doing without the cooperation of the citizens?"<br/>"Mother, what is that? A cartoon?"<br/>[Haha, you are really loud.]<br/>There was a presence with a stronger persuasive power than anyone in the carriage right now. It is weak compared to Kim Dokja, but still, everyone else are just beginning the scenarios.<br/>[I told you to be quiet.]<br/>Unlike last time, Kim Dokja didn't close his eyes slowly when the dokkaebi's eyes turned red. He also didn't flinch at all when something burst, and the subway became silent.<br/>"Uh, uh. Uh…" There was a big hole in the forehead of the unknown actor who had to go to the audition. The man who had spoken several times collapsed on the spot, just like before.<br/>[This isn't a movie shoot.]<br/>There was a cracking sound once again. This time, it was the person talking about the captain.<br/>[It isn't a dream. It isn't a novel either.]<br/>One, two… Blood sprayed into the air as the heads of some people started to burst. They were all the people who had protested against the dokkaebi, as well as the ones who screamed or went wild. Those who caused the slightest fuss had a hole in their heads. Suddenly, the subway became a bloodbath.<br/>[This isn't the 'reality' that you know. Do you understand? So everyone shut up and listen to me.]<br/>More than half the people present here died. Blood and body pieces filled the subway. Now, the people didn't scream. Like primitive apes in front of a powerful predator, everyone just watched the dokkaebi with terror. Kim Dokja lowered his head slightly, looking at the now blood stained floor.<br/>[Everyone, your lives have been nice so far. Isn't that right?]<br/>In the special needs seating area, an elderly grandmother met the eyes of the dokkaebi.<br/>[You have been living too long for free. Isn't life too generous? You were born and paid no price for breathing, eating, pooping and breeding! Ha! You really live in a good world!]<br/>Free? No one in the subway lived for free. The people strived to make money in order to survive, and they rode the subway on the way home from work. Yet at this moment, no one disputed the dokkaebi's words.<br/>[But now the good days are over. How long can you continue living for free? If you want to enjoy happiness, it is common sense to pay a price. Isn't that right?]<br/>Fear once again spread on the faces of the people present. Kim Dokja knows exactly what the people are thinking about right now, he had read the novel after all, not to mention that this isn't his first time.<br/>'What the hell will happen now?'<br/>[Phew, the debt is piling up during the time when you are noisy. Well, yes. Rather than explain it a hundred times, isn't it quicker for you to make money yourself?]<br/>The dokkaebi's horns rose like they were antennas, and its body floated to the ceiling of the train.<br/>A moment later, a message rang out.<br/>[#BI-7623 channel is open.]<br/>[The constellations have entered.]<br/>A small window emerged in front of everyone's blank eyes.<br/>[The main scenario has arrived!]<br/>+<br/>[Main Scenario #1 – Proof of Value]<br/>Category: Main<br/>Difficulty: F<br/>Clear Conditions: Kill one or more creatures.<br/>Time Limit: 30 minutes<br/>Compensation: 300 coins<br/>Failure: Death<br/>+<br/>The dokkaebi smiled faintly as it became transparent and disappeared into the next space.<br/>[Then, good luck everyone. Please show me an interesting story.]<br/>* * *<br/>People reacted differently after the dokkaebi disappeared. Some people tried to get out of the train while others called the police. Kim Dokja just stood in a corner and observe everything.<br/>"Come on, everybody! Everybody calm down. Start breathing calmly." Someone stepped forward exactly five minutes after the dokkaebi disappeared.<br/>And of course, that someone is the bear-like army lieutenant, and future 'Steel Sword', Lee Hyunsung.<br/>"Are you calm yet? Please stop your actions and pay attention to me for a moment."<br/>The people sobbing or making calls stopped. Once everyone's eyes were gathered on him, the big man opened his mouth again, "As you know, in the event of a national disaster, small disturbances can cause large human casualties. That's why I will now control the situation."<br/>"What, who are you?"<br/>"A national disaster situation? What are you saying?"<br/>Some people belatedly recovered and strongly resisted the world 'control.' Then the young man pulled a government official card out of his wallet. "I am currently an army lieutenant serving in the 6502 unit."<br/>Some people's faces became relieved. "A soldier, he is a soldier."<br/>However, it was too early to be relieved.<br/>"I just received a message from my unit."<br/>People gathered in front of the soldier's smartphone. Kim Dokja knows exactly what the message is, as he had read its content before.<br/>–A level 1 national disaster situation has occurred. All troops gather quickly.<br/>It was a national disaster situation. Many people in the carriage gulped.<br/>"Soldier-nim! What is happening?"<br/>"I have been trying to contact my unit, but…"<br/>"The Blue House! What is the Blue House doing? Please contact the president quickly!"<br/>"I'm sorry. I am just an ordinary soldier and don't have a hotline to the Blue House."<br/>"Then why are you taking control?"<br/>"For the sake of the safety of all citizens…"<br/>Lee Hyunsung calmly responded to the absurd questions.<br/>"The prime minister is making a speech! It is really a level one disaster!"<br/>Everyone turned on their smartphones at someone's cry.<br/>There was no need to enter a search term. It was because the first result for all portal sites was 'Prime Minister's Speech.'<br/>–To all my fellow citizens, unidentified terrorists are currently active in an unspecified number of areas, including Seoul.<br/>The contents of the speech were simple. The current government would mobilize all means and methods to fight the terrorists, and there would never be any negotiations. Thus, everyone should confidently continue with their lives…<br/>The speech had calmed down everyone, but it was only for a moment. Doubts began to spread.<br/>"But where is the president? Why is the prime minister making the speech?"<br/>"The president has already been hit."<br/>"What? Really?"<br/>"I'm not sure. A Naver comment―"<br/>"Shit, then it is fake!"<br/>Of course, it wasn't a fake comment.<br/>"Uwaaaaack! What?"<br/>People dropped their phones as gunshots were heard from all over. It originated from their smartphones.<br/>Chiiiik, there was a loud sound, and blood filled the screen. After a moment, people held their breaths as they realized what had happened.<br/>"P-Prime Minister…"<br/>The prime minister had died. His head had exploded in real-time. There were several more sounds like gunfire before the screen became silent. The next thing that appeared on the screen was a dokkaebi.<br/>[Everyone, I've told you already. This isn't a game like 'terrorism.']<br/>Terrorism is nothing compared to what is about to happen.<br/>People were at a loss for words as their mouths gaped open like dumb goldfish.<br/>[Do you still not understand? This won't do. Do you still feel like this is a game?]<br/>It felt so ominous because his tone was so relaxed. Kim Dokja low-key rolled his eyes.<br/>[Haha, according to the data, the people of this country are very good at games. So, why don't I try raising the difficulty?]<br/>Beeep. A huge timer appeared in the air. At the same time, it started decreasing rapidly.<br/>[The remaining time has been decreased by 10 minutes.]<br/>[There are 10 minutes remaining.]<br/>[If the first killing doesn't occur within the next five minutes, all lives in that carriage will be wiped out.]<br/>"W-What is this? Is it a joke?"<br/>"Didn't you hear the message just now? Hey, didn't you hear it?"<br/>"Soldier-nim! What do we do now? Why isn't the police coming?"<br/>"Everyone, calm down and listen to me―"<br/>The words of the dokkaebi caused the situation in the carriage to become so severe that Lee Hyunsung couldn't fix it.<br/>"T-There is a murder back there!"<br/>A scene from the 3907 train car could be seen through the aisle window. The complexion of the killer in that carriage was white.<br/>"We have to keep them out! Don't let anyone in!"<br/>People held tightly to the iron door, but it wasn't necessary. The enemy wasn't there in the first place.<br/>[All types of access to the carriage will be restricted until the scenario is complete.]<br/>Along with this message, people were thrown back from the iron door like they had hit a transparent barrier.<br/>"W-What is this?"<br/>Once again, the voice of the dokkaebi rang out, [Haha, there are some places that are quite fun while other places haven't started yet. Okay, this is a special service. I will show you what will happen if nothing occurs in the next five minutes.]<br/>A giant screen appeared in the subway. The place that appeared on the screen was a classroom. Girls in their navy blue school uniform were shaking.<br/>A boy bit his fingernails and muttered, "…Is that the school uniform of Daepong?"<br/>Beep beep beep beep― An ominous beeping sound was heard.<br/>Then the high school girls started to scream.<br/>[The given time has run out.]<br/>[Paid settlement will begin.]<br/>Once the announcement ended, the heads of the high school girls sitting in the front row exploded.<br/>One by one, one by one again… More and more heads exploded. The high school girls screamed and ran toward the classroom doors or windows.<br/>"Ahh, uh, how―"<br/>Cleaning tools broke and nails were torn out, but the doors didn't open. No one could get out.<br/>Peong, peeong. The heads of the high school girls continued to burst. Then a high school girl strangled her friend, who died with a groan. After a while, the only thing that remained on the screen was the last schoolgirl looking around.<br/>[#Bay23515 channel. Daepong Girls' High School, Year 2 Class B survivor: Lee Jihye.]<br/>The figure of the girl on the screen disappeared. Then the dokkaebi asked, [How is it? Interesting?]<br/>The dokkaebi spoke with a smile, but people weren't looking at the screen anymore. The people who made eye contact were gradually moving away from each other.<br/>They are becoming more wary now that they witness bloodshed.<br/>"Shit! What is this?"<br/>* * *<br/>A young man was crouching down in front of a groaning elderly woman.<br/>"Shit, I'm in a bad mood and this old lady keeps whining and groaning! Won't you shut up?"<br/>The young man is the male student who had been leaning against the entrance. Thin and had dyed white hair. His name written on the badge attached to his uniform.<br/>"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"<br/>The agitated Kim Namwoon grabbed the grandmother's collar. The grandmother's powerless legs staggered. Kim Namwoon's palm moved through the air.<br/>Slap. Slap.<br/>In normal times, somebody would run to stop this. But now nobody was moving. It wasn't long before the slaps changed to punches.<br/>"S-Save me. Save me…!"<br/>Everyone could hear the sound of a hard fist hitting flesh. Some of the men around Kim Namwoon hesitated but none of them wanted to go forward. Surprisingly, the first person to act was a man in a suit.<br/>That person is not Han Myungoh, but then, someone will eventually step up. A lot of people still haven't accept everything that had happen, they had live peacefully their whole life, so it will take a while for them to adapt.<br/>But then, there are those like Kim Namwoon, who have high adaptability. Having high adaptability is a good thing during the scenarios.<br/>"Young man! How can you treat an elder like this!"<br/>All the man got in reply was a voice mixed with scorn.<br/>"Mister, do you want to die?"<br/>"…What?"<br/>"You still don't understand the situation?"<br/>"What bullshit is this brat saying?"<br/>Kim Namwoon only laughed at the cursing man. He pointed to the ceiling of the subway carriage with his finger.<br/>"Can't you see that?"<br/>On the ceiling, a holographic screen was playing.<br/>[S-Spare me!]<br/>[Aaaack!]<br/>[Die! Die!]<br/>It wasn't just train carriages or Daepong High School. It was a live video of people dying all over the country. Kim Namwoon continued speaking.<br/>"You still don't understand? The army isn't coming to rescue us. And somebody must die."<br/>"W-What are you saying…?"<br/>"We have to choose a person to die."<br/>The man in a suit wasn't able to answer.<br/>"Of course, I know what you are thinking. You have to kill your fellow countrymen to live. It is something only sons of bitches will do. But you know, it is a force beyond our control. Beyond our control. We will die if we don't kill. Who will blame us? Are you going to die in the end because of your morals?"<br/>"T-That…"<br/>"Think carefully. The world you have known so far has just ended."<br/>The man's shoulders trembled. Just like Han Myungoh.<br/>Cracks were showing in people's eyes. It was a scene where the vague morality was collapsing. Kim Namwoon put a wedge in that crack.<br/>It only takes a little provocation, humans are selfish creatures after all.<br/>"A new world requires new laws."<br/>Kim Namwoon turned around and resumed punching the grandmother. This time, nobody stopped him.<br/>The Lee Hyunsung's fists were trembling as he stared into the air with a lost expression. Maybe he had also made a decision.<br/>"Sigh… It is hard to kill. Are you doing to just watch? Do you want to fall behind?"<br/>People trembled at Kim Namwoon's words.<br/>「If there is no killing in five minutes, everyone in this carriage will die. 」<br/>People's eyes were changing.<br/>「If the grandmother doesn't die, we will die in five minutes… 」<br/>The most primitive eyes that a living creature could have.<br/>"Yes… This bastard is right. If we don't do this, everyone will die."<br/>The first man rushed towards Kim Namwoon. He kicked at the old lady who had collapsed and was curled up.<br/>"Have you forgotten? Someone must die! So we can live!"<br/>"Ah fuck… I don't know."<br/>The second and third.<br/>The people standing aloof from the grandmother. The cowardly men who had been lingering. The university student filming this with their phone. The man with the grasshoppers and the man in a suit who had previously tried to defend the grandmother.<br/>They all lynched the grandmother, aiming for her death.<br/>"Die! Die quickly!"<br/>They were like guards cooperating for the death penalty. Like the guards pulling the lever at the same time so they couldn't tell who killed the prisoner, these people passively kicked and punched the grandmother.<br/>Kim Dokja just watched on expressionlessly, waiting for the moment to move.<br/>Kwaang!<br/>"Ack! What?"<br/>An explosion.<br/>The train shook.<br/>People cried out.<br/>Smoke rose from the front right corner of this carriage. It had started. 'He' had moved.<br/>"What? Eeeeok!"<br/>Kim Dokja moved swiftly towards the net that was abandoned, knocking Kim Namwoon away from the grandmother in the process.<br/>Kim Dokja then turn around and face the people.<br/>"Everyone stop. You can't live even if you killed the grandmother."<br/>One by one, everyone started to turn their head toward the man that had suddenly took action.<br/>"Let's say you kill the grandmother. What next?"<br/>The people's surprised faces reminded Kim Dokja of the first time he had done this.<br/>"The grandmother's death will be recognized for what the dokkaebi calls the 'first murder' and some time will be bought. Then what next?"<br/>"Ah…"<br/>"If what the dokkaebi says is true, you each have to kill one thing. So who will you kill after the grandmother? Will you kill the person next to you?"<br/>The people who thought about something retreated from each other. Horror was in their eyes. In fact, everyone knew. The grandmother was just the beginning.<br/>Kim Namwoon noticed the shaky atmosphere.<br/>"Haha, what are you all worried about? Then kill him next! Cowards. Don't worry about your turn in advance! The odds are equal!"<br/>Kim Dokja just cut him off with a slight hand wave.<br/>"There is no need to gamble like that. There is a way for you to survive, even if you don't become a killer."<br/>"What?"<br/>"W-What is it?"<br/>The people became greatly agitated. Kim Namwoon's expression distorted.<br/>"Have you forgotten? The scenario clear condition wasn't to 'kill a person.'"<br/>Most people were still puzzled but a few people noticed something.<br/>[Kill one or more living things.]<br/>That's right. From the beginning, the word 'person' was never specified in the contents of the scenario.<br/>Kill one or more living things. In other words, any life was possible. A quick-witted person shouted at the collection net in Kim Dokja's hand.<br/>"Insect! Insects!"<br/>The grasshoppers were jumping in the collection net. People's eyes were shining. Kim Dokja nodded.<br/>"That's right, the insects."<br/>Kim Dokja put his hand into the net and took out a chubby grasshopper.<br/>"G-Give that to me! Quickly!"<br/>"One only! I just need one!"<br/>Kim Dokja stepped back slowly and looked at the approaching people. A smile emerged on his face. His heart beating with joy, just like before.<br/>"Would you like it?"<br/>He waved the net like a trainer provoking an animal. Several impatient people leapt towards him.<br/>"Then catch them!"<br/>Kim Dokja smashed the grasshopper in his hand.<br/>[You have achieved the 'First Kill' achievement!]<br/>[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]<br/>At the same time, he threw the net in his other hand as hard as possible. It was towards the opposite side of the area where the grandmother and the crowd was gathered.<br/>"This is crazy!"<br/>The insects were released and jumped as hard as they could for freedom.<br/>* * *<br/>People panicked as they saw the insects running around the carriage.<br/>"H-Hey! Why would you do such a thi―"<br/>While some people were staring blankly, the quick-witted pushed toward the man that had threw the net.<br/>"You son of a bitch."<br/>"…You better find them soon. There are only three minutes left."<br/>These words were a signal as people started to look everywhere among the subway seats like beasts who had lost their minds.<br/>"I got it! Aaack!"<br/>The joy of those fortunate enough to obtain an insect, as well as the malicious attacks on them, caused the carriage to become chaotic.<br/>"Hey, why did you do that? Couldn't you have just given them the insects?"<br/>Kim Dokja responded causally to Kim Namwoon, who was stretching his neck, "There are 12 people remaining."<br/>"…Huh?"<br/>"There were three insects left in the collecting net."<br/>Kim Namwoon frowned for a moment before smiling broadly. "12 to 3? Hahahahat! Yes. Not all of them can survive anyway? So you threw that thing?"<br/>"Yes."<br/>"Don't make me laugh."<br/>"A person with common sense wouldn't do such a thing for that reason." Kim Namwoon's smile widened. "Tell me honestly. You just wanted to see this scene, didn't you?"<br/>Kim Dokja just gave him a mysterious smile in return as he activated character list.<br/>[Exclusive skill, 'Character List' is activated.]<br/>[Character Information]<br/>Name: Kim Namwoon.<br/>Age: 19.<br/>Constellation Support: None (Two constellations are currently showing interest in this person).<br/>Private Attribute: Chuunibyou (General)<br/>Exclusive Skills: Unusual Adaptability Lv. 3, Knife Fighting Lv. 1, Blackening Lv. 1.<br/>Overall Stats: Stamina Lv. 3, Strength Lv. 4, Agility Lv. 6, Magic Power Lv. 4.<br/>Overall Rating: A chuunibyou who was blackened by a special occasion. It is recommended that you don't get involved with him.]<br/>The Delusion Demon, Kim Namwoon. This young man had been waiting for the destruction of the world for a long time and adapted to this world at an 'unusual speed.'<br/>"Team up with me. How about it?"<br/>[The character 'Kim Namwoon' has a favorable impression of you.]<br/>"I'm sorry but I like to be alone."<br/>"Really? Hmm, it is regrettable." Kim Namwoon licked his lips lightly and stood closer to him. "Then can you step aside? I have something to do with that old lady behind you."<br/>Hearing his words, Kim Dokja looked back to see that the bleeding and collapsed grandmother was barely breathing. Then he looked back at Kim Namwoon.<br/>[The character 'Kim Namwoon' has a slight decrease in favorability.]<br/>"What are you looking at? Aren't you going to move aside quickly?"<br/>"It is tough."<br/>"What?"<br/>"I won't move aside."<br/>"Haha, are you now going to imitate the apostle of justice? Do you have multiple personalities?"<br/>Kim Dokja let out a sigh. He remember why he had hated this brat.<br/>"You want to save the grandmother? Hahaha! Amazing! Really amazing! No? Yes?"<br/>Kim Dokja also still remember how Kim Namwoon died last time.<br/>"Ah, it turns out that you are the type of person I hate the most. All old bastards are the same."<br/>[The character 'Kim Namwoon' despises you.]<br/>Kim Dokja just ignored him and grabbed the grandmother.<br/>Kim Namwoon started to attack.<br/>[Blackening Lv.1]<br/>Kim Dokja easily dodged the punches.<br/>"You really are good at not being hit!"<br/>Kim Dokja would have love to counterattack and punch him in the face at least once, but he want to hide his strength for now.<br/>"There are two minutes left."<br/>The distressed Kim Namwoon alternated looking between Kim Dokja and the grandmother. "Dammit!"<br/>At the moment of choice, Kim Namwoon's gaze was fixed on the grandmother's side.<br/>Kim Namwoon then took out the portable MacGyver Knife from his bag.<br/>He then use the link of the technical skill 'Knife Fighting' and the strengthening skill 'Blackening' to aim toward his target's heart.<br/>Unfortunately for Kim Namwoon, the Kim Dokja he's fighting currently isn't weak at all.<br/>Kim Dokja skillfully used his right arm to blocked the knife that was approaching his heart.<br/>The knife pierced through his sleeves, but his arm was fine.<br/>Kim Namwoon's eyes showed that he was astonished. "W-what? How?"<br/>Last time, there was a scratch even though he had used his coins and raised his stamina to Lv. 10. This time however, Kim Dokja's stamina level is far greater than Lv. 10.<br/>His skin now is even stronger, there's no scratch at all.<br/>"There is one minute left."<br/>Now fear appeared on Kim Namwoon's face. "Aaaah! Die! Die!"<br/>He moved his knife toward Kim Dokja's neck. Kim Dokja didn't bother defending against the attack.<br/>Kakakang!<br/>There was still not even a scratch.<br/>"Kim Namwoon."<br/>Behind Kim Namwoon, there were people who were still crawling and looking for insects, as well as those who were willing to hurt each other for their own survival.<br/>"You are right. I am the same type of human as you."<br/>Kim Dokja could've saved some of those people.<br/>"Shit! Why won't you die! Why won't you just die!"<br/>55 seconds… 50 seconds… 45 seconds…<br/>The knife kept leaving no damages at all.<br/>There were 30 seconds left when Kim Namwoon opened his mouth. He dropped the knife and knelt before the person he failed to make any marks on.<br/>"S-Save me."<br/>25 seconds.<br/>"Save me! Please! Help me!"<br/>"Why should I?"<br/>20 seconds.<br/>"P-People's lives are important! That's obvious!"<br/>"That is the rule of the old world. It is just as you said. A new world requires new laws."<br/>10 seconds.<br/>"I don't want to, I don't want to! I don't want to die! Aaaaaaack!"<br/>5 seconds.<br/>Kim Namwoon ran at Kim Dokja with a loud scream and aimed for his eye. The moment that the knife almost came in contact…<br/>[The given time has run out.]<br/>There was a loud sound, and Kim Namwoon's head exploded.<br/>[Paid settlement will begin.]<br/>Beginning with Kim Namwoon, people's heads started exploding everywhere. One, two, three, four…<br/>The bursting heads were like fireworks announcing a new era. Kim Dokja watched the scene indifferently and took out the grasshopper egg-sac and squashed it.<br/>[You have killed 124 living things.]<br/>[Kill History: One grasshopper, 123 grasshopper eggs.]<br/>[You have killed non-resistance living things, so the number of coins you have acquired is reduced by half.]<br/>[6,200 coins have been acquired!]<br/>[The number of coins used for the stats level up is automatically subtracted.]<br/>[You have a total of 3,500? coins.]<br/>[The 'Mass Murderer' achievement has been gained through excessive killing.]<br/>Kkiiik.<br/>The train started to move again. It made the familiar train noise.<br/>Soon, light flooded in, and darkness was lifted from the windows. The remaining people had arrived at the surface ground section of Line 3 between Apgujeong and Oksu.<br/>Outside the window, the Han River and Seoul were revealed.<br/>Ahh. Someone let out a moan. It was a moan which contained deep relief that they survived.<br/>However, it didn't take long for the meaning of that moan to change. Ah, ah…<br/>The landscape outside the window was no longer the Seoul from before. Smoke and dust rose from the ruined city.<br/>The Han River bridges had collapsed. The Han River itself was red with the bodies of soldiers, while among the fallen buildings, a monster was trampling on a K1 tank like it was a toy.<br/>[Main Scenario #1 – Proof of Value has ended.]<br/>[300 coins have been acquired as a basic clearance reward.]<br/>[100 coins have been reduced for the channel usage fee.]<br/>[Additional compensation settlement will begin.]<br/>Once again, one world was destroyed, and a new world was born.</p>
