As he steps out, he sees exactly what he expected.
An apocalyptic world. Dead bodies and destruction everywhere.
"... This shit looks way more serious than it did in the manhwa."
When he comes out of the convenience store, he finds a school just across the road.
"Is that… a school? It says… Taepung girl's high school."
"The name sounds fam– wait a minute! How come I… understand it? If I'm inside ORV, then it definitely is not in bangla. And this is definitely not English… then how come I can read Korean?"
He sees a girl coming out of the main building and heading towards the convenience store.
"Crap! I should hide, if it's really the same place I know of. I definitely should."
He runs back inside and hides behind the desk of the counter.
As the girl comes closer, the sound of her footsteps become clearer.
Fuck! What is happening with my life? If she really is Lee Jihye as I think she is, I feel like I might die here for real.
—***—
The girl enters the store and finds multiple dead bodies lying there.
"So… this place is in the same condition as… the school."
She gets closer to the dead body the boy killed.
"This is the only one that's head has not blown… and this stabs… brutal."
She notices the pen stuck in the dead body's throat "Whoever did it, killed him with this…" She looks around.
"And all the other dead bodies were killed because of the white furred thing."
Suddenly she hears a sound, something just fell from the desk of the counter.
She leaps closer to it, and finds the boy hiding in there.
"So… you were the one who survived here, huh?"
Fuck! She found me! The boy thought
"Y-yes. I-I s-somehow survived."
"By killing that person?"
The question stuns the boy.
The girl speaks again. "I can't say much as I did the same."
As she sits on the counter desk. "I… killed my best friend."
"... Are you afraid that I will kill you or what?"
The boy finally stands up. "O-of course not! It's just tha–"
"Who attacked whom first?"
The boy for a moment felt confused, but came to a conclusion.
"I was attacked first and he even broke my arm–" When he was about to show his right arm, he remembered that it had healed not long ago.
"He broke your arm? But… It seems fine."
"Uh. It's just that, I awakened something called an attribute and gained regne.. ra.. tio.. n.." Darkness slowly came over his eyes and he couldn't think anything.
—***—
"Ack! Huff. Huff." The boy wakes up gasping for breath.
As he hastily look around, he is still in the same convinience store.
He grabs his hair. "Shit! Shit! Fuck! All these were really not a dream!
Then suddenly someone speaks up. "You were out for the entire night. Dawn is over by now."
He looks at a corner where the sound came from. It was the same girl.
She speaks. "Considering the start, I thought many more things would happen. But after the first scenario, not much has happened."
"Except the second scenario… I am ready to go. What about you?"
The boy still a bit confused, answers.
"I think I will stay a bit longer."
She gets up and takes step get out of the store with a bag of necessary supplies.
She stops for a moment and asks.
"By the way, if both of us live, we might meet again. So, what is your name?"
The boy stays silent for a while and says.
"Leon S Kennedy."
The girl is dumbfounded. "A-are you… isn't that the name of a character from RE series? Are you joking right now?!"
"Haha… you can just call me Ken."
The girl stays silent for a while and says.
"My name is Lee Jihye. We might meet again if both of us are lucky enough to live."
She steps out of the store without looking back.
After a while the boy starts talking to himself.
"Fuck… I don't think that was a time to joke around… seems like I now have to introduce myself as Ken? Since a major character such as Jihye now knows me as Ken… Fuck myself."
He grabs his chest tightly. "But still… my heart is beating really fast, who would have thought that I would see one of the main cast of ORV?"
He looks around for a while and speaks.
"Status"
As the same blue window pops up again.
[Name: Leon S Kennedy (surname: Ken)]
[Age: 15]
[Attributes: Regeneration (rare), Delusional (generic), Avid reader (rare), ADHD (rare)]

After looking at his stats. "Pathetic… these stats are pathetic. Though the amount of attributes and skills, damn, I'm lucky in that case at least."
"But… why.. Is my name Leon S Kennedy?! What the fuck is wrong with the star stream?!"
Then suddenly multiple messages start to come.
[Some constellations are surprised at your knowledge.]
[Some constellation asks you how you know about star stream.]
This surprises the Ken
Ah crap! They were watching me this whole time?
"Uhh… I just… blurted something out at the moment."
[Some constellations don't believe you.]
After a little pause he speaks. "Well you could just say that one of my skills allows me to get some basic information about some things."
[Some constellation says you are lying.]
[Some constellation asks if you are not going to do the second scenario.]
"I will, of course I have to. But before that, I have to change these pathetic stats and…"
He looks at the dead bodies lying around.
"I have to throw… these… dead bodies outside.. Far away from here."
—***—
After a while, the store is now clean, at least there are no dead bodies here anymore.
"Ugh.. I still feel goosebumps in my body. Never in my life did I think I would have to see all these."
After looking around for a while. "In the original ORV, Dokja reached the place about 5-6 days later I think, so I can wait for that much… anyway."
He goes looking around the store and finds many snacks and drinks and such.
"I feel really hungry and weak right now. And these should do the job for a while and the regeneration…"
