[ MAIN SCENARIO HAS BEGUN.]

________________________________________

[ Channel #B-7623 has opened.]

[ Constellations are entering.]

"Wh..what is happening!!.."

"I don't know...."

The whole train was filled with screams of people running here and there, while no one knew, what was happening the whole compartment was shaking violently as if an Earthquake had hit it.

"No one moves, stop or I will blow every one of you!!..."

Suddenly the guy, who was holding the bomb shouted to everyone and everything just stopped not only them but the whole train also stopped shacking

and an unsettling Silence fell over the surroundings.

'What is going on...' I thought to myself as I looked at the scene taking place in front of me. I was scared, very scared as I didn't know what was going on, I had a small sister waiting for me in my house, and I didn't want to Die here.

[An extremely small number of Constellations are getting interested in Incarnation 'Choi Han-Gyu'.]

Suddenly one more voice came but no one knew the source of it and hearing his name the guy started to look here and there trying to find out, who was calling his name.

Swiss...

Suddenly the lights went off and the whole place got filled with Darkness, the train had stopped moving and the silence was very loud for Everyone.

Crack...crack...

Suddenly a cracking sound was heard from one of the doors which led to the other compartment as some Sparks of light started to sparkle in mid-air near the doors.

"What is happening..."

"I don't know..."

Everyone looked towards the area which was sparkling with eyes filled with curiosity and horror as no one moved an Inch.

"What the fuck is happening..." The Giant man with a big beard on his chin and a homemade bomb in his hand screamed as he looked toward the sparkling end.

Swiss....

Suddenly the lights came back as everyone started to feel much relieved and looked here and there trying to know, what was going on.

'What is happening... And why can't I seem to remember anything...' Yu Jung-Hyeok held his head as an unsettling emptiness started to take over inside his head.

[ Welcome, everyone. Nice to meet you.]

[ Yu Jung-Hyeok's dilemmas were carefully extinguished by a small CGI-like lump suddenly appearing in mid-air.]

[ It's getting tiring to make the same introduction over and over again, but... Anyway, this situation isn't a movie shoot nor is it a terror incident.... Ng?]

[ With two small horns and wearing a small straw mat, the strange and fluffy creature was floating in the air. ]

[ It was too strange to call it a fairy, too evil to call it an angel, and too tranquil to call it a demon. ]

[ Thus, it was called a 'Dokkkaebi.]

[ What's this? Hahahahat! Dear Constellations, please take a look over here! The scenarios haven't even begun yet, but something entertaining is already underway!]

The Dokkaebi spoke in a languid but cruel tone of voice and laughed.

[ I'm already beginning to look forward to this particular car. I pray that you'll all show us an entertaining tale.]

[The main scenario has arrived!]

[Main Scenario #1 – Proof of Worth

Type: Main

Clear condition: Please kill one or more lifeforms.

[ Then, good luck everyone. Please show me an interesting story.]

The dokkaebi smiled faintly as it became transparent and disappeared into the next space.

People reacted differently after the dokkaebi disappeared. Some people tried to get off the train while others called the police.

"g-game.... t-this is a game....Hahahaha!!"

But suddenly an evil laugh started to echo in the car as everyone looked toward the guy, who was laughing like a maniac.

"Good..goood..hahahahaha!!!" His laugh was scary and creepy as he held his mouth and began to laugh more loudly.

Suddenly Choi Han-Gyu pulled out a hammer from his side and ran towards a middle-aged guy standing near him.

"Ahhh..." The guy screamed in pain as a strong blow came upon the back of his head and blood started to run out like a fountain.

"I-if I do this....." The guy had an evil smile on his face as he looked towards the other passengers, who started to tremble with fear " Then, I will be the strongest..." He spoke as he licked the blood on his face and made a pleasured look.

[Incarnation 'Choi Han-Gyu' has achieved the feat of 'first murder'!]

A message tinged and was heard by all the passengers in the car as everyone looked at him with eyes filled with fear and horror.

"Uwaaah!! Murderer! He's a murderer!!"

"Help! Me!!!"

Choi Han-Gyu watched the crowd freak out and retreat away from him and tilted his head. "W-why are you all n-not doing anything? Y-you're all making me look like t-the strange one."

"Don't come near me!"

He walked towards one guy, who tried to run away but somehow no matter, what he did his body didn't move.

"M-maybe, you need t-this?"

A smirk came upon his face as he threw a tool toward the guy and the other tools that were on his side toward the scared passengers.

He took Spanner and started to slam down on the back of the already dead man with a face filled with pleasure.

"I- it's easy. L-like this. You do it l-like this, a-and then..."

Sprays of sticky blood rose m the back of the man.

"....Then, e-everyone can become rich."

The timer in the air was ticking down bit by bit.

[ Remaining time has decreased. ]

[ Remaining time: 10 minutes.]

I wordlessly stared at the spanner that rolled towards my feet. Even then, the crowd showed no signs of movement.

Choi Han-Gyu shook his head as if he was disappointed, and stood up from his spot. "S-should I just k-kill everyone?"

But then, a man suddenly reached out and grabbed hold of a hammer that Choi Han-Gyu had thrown.

"F-fuck this... I don't know anymore!"

"What are you doing??"

This man gripped tight the thrown hammer and began attacking everyone next to him indiscriminately.

"F-forgive me. I'm sorry....!"

"Uwaaaah!!"

As voices futilely spread out, people began waking up to the new reality. They couldn't tell what kind of a situation this was, but they were sure of one thing.

[They'll die if they don't kill each other.]

[An extremely small number of Constellations are satisfied by the sight of the applicable subway car.]

[An extremely small number of Constellations are expressing their interest in Incarnation 'Choi Han-Gyu'.]

[A Constellation who hasn't revealed their Modifier is sponsoring Incarnation 'Choi Han-Gyu' with 100© .]

Choi Han-Gyu was laughing in satisfaction at the crowd.

I looked at the Spanner that came from that guy and an internal conflict started inside my heart.

' Should, I do it but I never killed someone...yes I had done it in games many times but this is not a game....it's reality..'

I looked towards others, who started to pick up their weapons and started to look at each other with the expression of someone, who was ready to kill.

Their eyes looked way different than, how A normal person looked they had malic fills inside them and I knew if I looked weak in front of them, then I would die.

" Big Brother..." Suddenly a distant memory, which I didn't even remember properly came inside my head.

"Tell me to sniff.. sniff... You won't leave me like our parents did will you..." I could see a small girl sitting near me crying while holding my hand.

"I won't...I will always stay near you..." Suddenly I heard a voice which was very familiar to me as it was my voice....or probably my younger self's voice.

Grab...

I kneeled and picked up the Spanner which was on my feet, with a determined look.

'I won't die, here I will go back to my sister...'

I spoke inside my head as now I was ready to face any challenge coming towards me, though still a fear lineage inside my heart.
