Yoo Joonghyeok keeps attacking the terrorist Choi Han-Gyu with his hands. The other passengers that were trying to talk with the terrorist now stood there, silent.
"Agh– H-hey w-what are you guys doing?! Help me!!"
The people does nothing, they just stare at the terrorist that threaten them before getting beaten up by Yoo Joonghyeok.
People could be heard whispering to each other, while also trembling in fear knowing the person in front of them isn't ordinary.
'H-hey, what should w-we do…?'
Then suddenly, 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!"
"Ahjussi! What are you doing??"
This man gripped tight the thrown spanner 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.
It is the same as the previous round that I have went through, their faces are easier to read now that I've been going through a few regressions.
[Extremely small number of Constellations are satisfied by the sight of the applicable subway car.]
[Extremely small number of Constellations are expressing their interest in Incarnation 'Yoo Joonghyeok'.]
[A Constellation who hasn't revealed their Modifier is sponsoring Incarnation 'Yoo Joonghyeok' with 100 Coins.]
Everything happening now was events that should happen.
Yoo Joonghyeok was bending down to pick up a spanner that came from Choi Han-Gyu's possession.
Yoo Joonghyeok would gnash his teeth from someone's betrayal; Yoo Joonghyeok, who didn't trust others easily nor easily made companions. Yoo Joonghyeok, who always pursued after the most optimal route, and didn't hesitate killing others ahead of time if they were going to betray him later.
That was why the 3rd turn's Yoo Joonghyeok could slaughter the fellow passengers of the same subway.
There were plenty of targets present. A trembling college student hurdled on the floor; a middle-aged man hiding next to the disabled seating; an office worker, too absorbed in assaulting the others and not having enough time to look behind.
And then…
He selected the hardest opponent within this subway car as his target.
"Euh-heuh… heuh?"
Choi Han-Gyu smiled insidiously while observing the spanner flying in. He took an agile step back to evade, then an ultra-sharp survival knife jumped out from his waist. Along with the 'Swish!' noise, Yoo Joonghyeok dodged the blade with nary a gap to spare.
Why did Yoo Joonghyeok make this choice?
Choi Han-Gyu still carried several other tools, and not only that, he was in possession of a home-made explosive, as well. On the other hand, all Yoo Joonghyeok had was a spanner as thick as a child's arm and a few knowledge of the person in front of him.
Even the. He didn't hesitate to kill.
[Incarnation 'Yoo Joonghyeok's' attribute, 'Pro Gamer' is awakening!]
He was awakening his exclusive attribute. It was a skill that allowed him to digitise everything in this world like a video game and analyse them. A skill to control his body, as if he was moving his game avatar.
His spanner accurately struck Choi Han-Gyu's wrist. The bomber screamed out for a moment as the home-made explosive fell out from his grasp.
Yoo Joonghyeok's spanner then accurately flew in towards the neck of flustered Choi Han-Gyu next. It was an unavoidable attack, a perfect counter that his talent had calculated. Fortunately, Yoo Joong-hyeok used the coins he received earlier and upgrades his strength stat.
[Incarnation 'Yoo Joonghyeok' is investing 100 coins to 'strength'!]
And that was precisely the system of this new world.
"T-that, hurts."
A dark-red mark was left behind on Choi Han-Gyu's neck., it was broken.
His muscles swelled, and he grabbed Choi Han-Gyu by the neck. The latter's complexion paled greatly as he dangled up in the air. While grabbing hold of his victim's collars, Yoo Joonghyeok's free hand picked up another hammer.
"Die."
Yoo Joonghyeok throwed the spanner into Choi Han-Gyu's head, killing him instantly.
"No–! Sto–."
[You have killed a living being!]
As Yoo Joonghyeok looked at the system message, the scenario was over.
[Main Scenario #1 – Proof of Worth has concluded.]
[You have acquired the normal clear reward of 300 Coins.]
[100 Coins have been deducted as the channel usage fee.]
[Additional reward calculation has commenced.]
Along with the scenario calculations, the heads of the people began exploding. Leaving Yoo Joonghyeok alone.
The dokkaebi's excited voice could be heard from the distance. Even the messages of the constellations cheering for him could be seen.
[What on earth happened here? I was just watching the other carriages…]
There was a mixture of delight and surprise on the dokkaebi's face. Twinkling stars floated over the dokkaebi's head. I counted the number of stars. One, two, three… Twenty, twenty one. Twenty one in total. He would be happy.
[For 21 people to be connected to my channel… Haha, isn't this quite good? Gosh, thank you for your sponsorship. Constellations. Haha, everyone! Did you properly show off your value?]
The number of stars meant the number of constellations connected to the channel. 21 wasn't a lot, but it was a strange number for a beginner dokkaebi.
[The number of survivors is quite high? The fellow in the next carriage was a nutter as well… It seems that things are quite interesting today.]
The dokkaebi manipulated something in the air. A moment later, a list of survivors came up.
[Survivors from the 3434 Train to Bulgwang, Carriage 3707: Yoo Joonghyeok. A total of one survivor.]
[It is somehow admirable. In fact, I didn't expect much from this carriage but you managed to pass the first scenario. This proves that even bugs deserve to survive.]
Just you wait... I'll end you someday.
[Now now, shouldn't there be a reward for overcoming the hardships? As a reward for the first scenario, you are entitled to the sponsorship of the 'constellations'. Waahhh! How about it? Aren't you looking forward to it?]
I listened to the dokkaebi's talking, staring into it's soul.
[Hmm, you seem to have already understand everything here. Strange... anyways, enough chit-chat. Just take a look for yourself!]
In the meantime, Yoo Joonghyeok was staring at the message spreading out
before him with quaking eyes.
[ 'Sponsor selection' is commencing !]
< Sponsor Selection >
– Please select your sponsor.
– The backer you choose will become your trusty sponsor.
1 . God of Wine and Ecstasy
2 . Mouse that Eats Fingernails
3 . Abyssal Black Flame Dragon
4. Prisoner of the Golden Headband
5. Lily Pin of Aquarius
I didn't find it weird since I had went through this moment before, but still, I could guess how confused they must feel after facing a situation like this for the first time ever.
[Incarnation 'Yoo Joonghyeok' is activating his attribute!]
In the midst of all this, only Yoo Joonghyeok was regaining his cool. His calm eyes were proof of that.
Yoo Joonghyeok had begun considering his choices earnestly.
'Hmm, can I choose another sponsor? No. It will just become like the previous regression.'
Only three minutes remained.
Even so, he still looked at the sponsor selection window in front of him and comments on the constellations modifier.
1 . God of Wine and Ecstasy
Yoo Joonghyeok stared at that Modifier for a little while before shifting his gaze away.
'Something still feels messy about that name.' He thought.
Soon after, his eyes landed on the second candidate.
2 . Mouse that Eats Fingernails
'Sounds weak, as always.'
Yoo Joonghyeok closed the sponsor selection window and started to walk towards the car's door, to the subway number 3807.
[Hey, you! Why did you close the sponsor selection window?]
He ignored the dokkaebi's words and begin kicking the subway door where he could find his allies just like the previous rounds.
He kicked the door using all of his strength, a Claaang! sounds could be heard from the collision.
The door broke out, and there was two people standing there with a surprised expression.
Only Lee Hyunsung and Kim Namwoon survived in that car. That's fine, I only need them.
