Episode 4 - Survive (3)

Crunch! The train window broke because Jin Minjun threw me out. I saw Jin Minjun's face as I was thrown out. Jin Minjun smiled as if something made him happy.

"I believe you."

You psychopath.

I fell out of the train and I was swallowed by a giant electric eel monster. I closed my eyes from the shock of the impact along with cold water of Han River. As I held my breath, warmth and an immense darkness engulfed me.

I held my breath until I was sucked In somewhere. I wasn't torn apart because I fell with perfect timing. I couldn't stabilize my body because of the rushing water coming in here. I'm looking for something to hold on to. My hand was holding something soft and warm on the tangible wall in the darkness. I rose to the surface.

I just realized the bruises all over my body. I didn't feel pain at first, Now I feel very painful. I feel this situation is normal. Is it because of Jin Minjun's memory? My calm mind skills were not activated at all...

Now is not the time to think about all that. I picked up my phone and turned it on. But unfortunately, it is not turned on at all. It looks like my phone got in water that's why it's broken. I should buy a smartphone with a waterproof function.

"Dammit."

I don't see anything. What should I do? Suddenly screen appeared.

[The conditions of use for the personal attribute '???' has been reached!]

[You have gained personal skill.]

Huh? What skills do I get this time? I can't find out what skill it is because my information has been blocked. I just want to see this place brightly.

[Fairies of light hear your call.]

[Personal skill, Fairies Summon Lv. 97 has been activated!]

A small light appeared in front of me illuminating the darkness, and the surrounding scenery entered my eyes.

There are many human corpses, cars and byproducts floating around. It seemed that I was inside the belly of the giant Monopterus Albus. This is more disgusting than I imagined.

"Urgh..."

That man, Jin Minjun's expression of throwing me off the train without any hesitation was so vivid. I had expected it but I didn't think it would be this much.

I do understand his feelings when it comes to companion. In Jin Minjun's memory, he had seen his friends get killed many times in the past timelines. He doesn't want to choose the wrong choice again.

If I wanted to be his companion, I have to follow his will.

But there is another memory that I cannot reach inside him. It's like that memory is hiding from me. Does that memory have a story that does not want to be revealed? Jin Minjun is really mysterious. Well, he is a person who has seen this world become hell many times. I'm sure he has a secret he doesn't want to share.

I just hope he keeps his promise. Because of me, they are involved in this kind of deal. I will feel really bad if I am not take responsible.

This is a test for me to gain his trust. He wants me to finish this alone. Thanks to Jin Minjun memory, it seems a little easier to solve. But still, how could he not tell me before throw me into the river. At least tell me before hand.

"That fucking bastard."

I swam over to the car roof and raised my body onto it. How much time is left?

[Time Limit: 16 minutes 32 seconds]

There are still 16 minutes left. I feel cold. Is it there no skills that can warm my body?

[Fairy of Fire hear your call.]

[Personal skill, Fairy Summon Lv. 97 has been activated!]

A small red light appeared in front of me. I feel warm. White light and red light swirled around me. Information List.

[Fairy Information]

[Name: -

Age: 0

Summoner: Kim Kwan

Personal attribute: Fairy of Fire (Rare), Summoner of Kim Kwan ( - )

Personal attribute: Bomb Fire Lv.1

General Evaluation: The fairy who born from Kim Kwan's words.]

Did i create them with just a word? How that possible... This is obviously cheat. I'm worried this skill might have side effects. Suddenly a lot of log messages appeared.

[The constellation 'Winged Daemon of Death' said life is a journey, not a destination.]

[You have been gifted 100 golds.]

[The constellation 'Falcon Bird of Sky Ruler' is said think before you speak.]

[The constellation 'Goddesses Lady of Valkyries and Magic' is wonder how you got those fairy skills.]

[You have been gifted 100 golds.]

[The constellation 'Clandestine Eternal' is thankful you are still alive.]

[You have been gifted 500 golds.]

What's wrong with this bird? I don't have other choice but to say that! But anyway, just who is this 'Clandestine Eternal'? He sponsored me with a lot of gold. Maybe he is the highest sponsor. Only his title is complicated to find out. If only I had chosen they as my constellation, this might not have happened.

There is useless for regretting now. This is my choice. All I have to do now is move forward and come to Jin Minjun to show that I deserve to be his companion.

Suddenly, I heard a sound like electricity. The sound was like in the water. I touched the water.

[Personal skill, Observe Lv. 1 automatic activated!]

[Electric shocks heading out of the water.]

As soon I read that message, I quickly pulled my hand out of the water.

Buzzz—! Electric shocks come out of the water.

"W-What the..."

I didn't know eels could do this. I never learned about eels after all. Well, I am not interested. Thanks to skill.

[Hm? You are still alive?]

There was a light coming out before the haechi's voice was heard.

"Of course I was."

Suddenly screen appeared again.

[Personal skill, 'Information List' has become Lv. 2!]

[Personal skill, Information List sneak into the 'Star Link' data system.]

[Now you can see all the data stored by the 'Star Link' system!]

[Character Information]

[Name: Hari (Leo H'e Hari)

Age: 0 (Formerly 32)

Species: Haechi (Formerly Human)

Position: New Hire Streamer

Affiliations: Seoul Capital Base Team (Area), Korea Stream Department (Country), Asia Stream Corporation (Continent)

General Evaluation: A person who abondon his human life to continue his life. So shameless.]

This information... He was human before? But how he can be like this...

[Just what are you looking at?]

"...Nothing."

[Hrmm. More than that, what are you going to do?]

"What do you mean?"

[Only 15 minutes left. What are you going to do to get to the station? I think it's would be better if you just die.]

"Then, why don't you do that to me?"

Haechi's thick eyebrows changed into a V shape. Looks like he was really angry.

[...Hahaha. You're trying to challenge me now?]

"Why? Aren't you the host?"

[...]

Haechi seemed hesitant. As I expected. If he wanted to kill me, he could have easily killed me. But because the constellations are take attention to me, he can't do anything. Gold is just one way to survive in this world. According to Jin Minjun's memory.

[You dare to challenge me... You will deserve it.]

The message log appeared.

[The host has removed you from the scenario.]

[You have failed to clear the scenario.]

[Proceeding with checkout.]

[100 gold was taken as punishment and used for channel weekly usage fee.]

He's so shameless. Use people money for his channel.

[Haha. This what will happen if you challenge me.]

"I'm sure you will take my golds again as a penalty since I've failed the scenario."

[You are so confident that I will take your golds instead of your life. Just why?]

"First, because the constellation have their eyes on me. And second, if you were going to take my life, you would have written 'death' instead of the three question marks."

[...You sure are smart.]

If it wasn't for Jin Minjun's memory, I wouldn't have known this. The scenario where there are '???' which meant, the penalty literally is unknown. There are many other penalties, but I can feel the haechi only wants golds.

"Am I right?"
