Kim Dokja and Lee Hyunsung come running from somewhere, and they meet up with Yoo Sangha, Jung Heewon, Lee Gilyoung.
Heewon started. "How did you know it would work like that?! We just bashed at the rooms and it disappeared!"
Then someone calls out to Dokja, it was Lee Jihye.
"Did you destroy them?" Dokja asks.
She answers affirmatively. Jihye was tasked with destroying zones with bigger numbers as it would be too hard for others.
Dokja looks around for a while and asks. "Where is the new one?"
Sangha replies. "He parted ways with us saying that he can do it alone and that he's stronger than us."
Gilyoung says. "He also asked for permission to kill, if someone tried to kill him."
Did he get too overconfident and die in the process? But he should be strong from what Hyunsung said.
Running all the way from Bogwang-dong to Geumho station, then reaching Chungmuro station in a poisoned state, and even beating ground rats along the way?
I can just hope he actually didn't die. Dokja thought.
At the same time, Jihye was saying something about everyone being angry. And suddenly many people came rushing in that place.
"Here they come. This time I won't be helping you, it's your job." Jihye tells Dokja.
"I don't need it." Dokja replies.
As the system window pops up.
[Bounty hunting — Assassination.]
[Category: Sub scenario.]

[Description: The constellations of channel #BIR-3642 has put a bounty on the incarnation Kim Dokja of Chungmuro station.]
[Time limit: 10 minutes.]
[Reward: 2,000 coins.]
[Penalty for failure: None.]
"Can I really get 2,000 coins if I kill you?" Heewon asks Dokja.
"Do you really want it?" Dokja replies.
"Ha! I would have considered it if it was 20,000 coins."
As Lee Hyunsung tries to guard Dokja. Dokja asks. "How many times can you use that skill?"
"About two times at most!" Hyunsung replies.
Just when everyone was tensing up. Dokja tells them to relax.
Yoo Joonghyuk, after regressing countless times, had gone mad from it in the novel.
Which is why, when he came to Chungmuro station, he destroyed all of the green zones.
And now, the conditions are identical to that.
The system window pops up.
[All the green zone in the station has been destroyed, the main scenario's system has been overloaded.]
[The difficulty of the scenario will be adjusted according to the remaining scenario's duration.]
[Main scenario 3]

[Reward: 1,000 coins.]

At that moment, Dokja ran towards the stairs with his teammates. And just when the others were about to climb it up. He strikes his sword in the stair in front of him and.
Boom! A loud blast can be heard, as the dust clears up. The stairs leading up were mostly destroyed, leaving no way up.
The people started to shout at him for doing it. When they tried to use the other staircase, it was crushed by Hyunsung.
"Wait! This isn't what you said would happen! At this rate everyone will!"
"I know."
Jihye tries to retaliate but gets interrupted by Dokja.

Dokja starts. "Hey, Pildu! Why are you just standing there doing nothing like an idiot? Don't you want to live? With your power, can't you save everyone here?!"
At that moment everyone starts to run towards Gong Pildu to save them.
— H-hey, if you help us, we can win.
— Gong Pildu! You are the strongest here, you should help us.
— If you help us, we can live! Y-yeah, we definitely can!
[Incarnation Lee Jihye's supporting constellation reveals their modifier.]
[Constellation "Maritime war god" nods in acknowledgement.]
Gong Pildu controls himself and starts to command everyone to fend off the monsters while he sets up his skill.
When a person gets injured, Sangha saves him using her skill.
Dokja asks sarcastically. " Are you still after the bounty?"
[The bounty hunting scenario's time has run out.]
[The bounty on Kim Dokja has been removed.]
"Oh. It seems like you can't get it anymore."
The man, terrified, runs away.
Kim Dokja sits down on the stairs as he watches the chaos unfolding.
Hyunsung asks. "Won't his magic power run out if this keeps going on?"
"Don't worry, his skill is very efficient, so it does not consume much magic power." While Dokja is explaining it. Someone runs into Gong Pildu's skill while pushing through the monsters.
He is heavily battered and wounded because of the monsters. Even some of Pildu's bullets hit him.
Sangha immediately pulls him out of that place using her threads.
It was Ken, who seemed like he was on his deathbed. At that time he says something in a low voice.
"It… fucking hurts…"
[Some constellations show concern for the incarnation Ken.]
"He still seems conscious." Sangha says.
They were in a situation where they didn't know what to do.
There were multiple wounds and tears in his body because of the monsters. And not just that, multiple bones broken, and even damage from the bullets of Gong Pildu's skill was there.
"Did he… survive through all those monsters and reach here?" Gilyoung exclaimed. As he could not imagine someone in the middle of all those monsters.
"Everyone! Snap out of it!" It was from none other than Lee Hyunsung.
"You guys should know it's an emergency. First of all, we have to stop his bleeding right now. We have to get to work, now!" Lee Hyunsung was not usually like this. But as he was in the military before, he must know what to do.
Ken's body was drenched in his own blood, but.
"I-I can't seem to find anywhere that's bleeding heavily for him to bleed so much." Sangha exclaimed.
Hyunsung, equally confused, still tried to do everything he could do.
But at that time, someone interrupted them. "Can… you guys… please shut up. It.. is… making me feel more dizzy." It was Ken. He himself could barely speak.
Suddenly his broken arm started to twitch and slow cracks started to make noise. His bones slowly merge back together and get placed back to its place and his arm is healed.
The same happened to all of his broken bones.
After that his most serious wound right now, the piercings from the bullets slowly start to heal.
Flesh filling up the holes, bit by bit, really fast. As the bullet holes are all healed, all of a sudden, the regeneration stops.
"W-why did it stop!" Hyunsung exclaims.
Some messages are sent to everyone.
[Constellation "The masochist of Joseon" says that he will be okay after his magic power is recovered.]
[Constellation "The dead man who came back" says that he might die from starvation at this rate.]
[Constellation "Merchant of Venice" tells you to either give him something to recover Magic power faster, or make him eat something.]
"Uh. What do you mean by that?" Hyunsung asks.
[Constellation "Merchant of Venice" says that it is not right to pry on someone's secret.]
[Constellation "The dead man who came back" asks if the constellation "Merchant of Venice" just doesn't want to reveal it as they had to purchase it.]
[Constellation "The masochist of Joseon" says that his ability is to regenerate by burning either his energy, or Magic power.]
"Then, does that mean both his Magic power reserve and energy reserve has been used up?" Sangha asks.
[Some constellations nod affirmatively.]
She takes off two of her bracelets from her hand and gives it to Ken.
[Praying beads of the great monk Samyeong.]
[Grade: B]
[Description: Significantly increases Magic power recovery.]
[Mana recovery bracelet.]
[Grade: D]
[Description: Slightly increases Magic power recovery.]
"With these, his Magic power will recover quickly and wounds should also heal."
[Constellation "The masochist of Joseon" says that his regeneration is only fast when he actively uses it. Not when he is unconscious.]
Hearing this, everyone becomes worried.
Watching the situation.
[Constellation "The masochist of Joseon" says that he still regenerates naturally. Just slower.]
Only after this do they finally calm down a bit.
—***—
Ken wakes up a while later. But just when he is about to sit. An incredible pain rippled through his entire body.
But ignoring it, he hastily starts to look for something. As someone calls him out.
"Are you looking for this?" It was Lee Jihye, holding his bag, where both of his swords and the metal skewers he had were stuffed in.
