Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: A World Without a King (1)

After hearing from Melusine that people had been scattered by the Intermediate Dokkaebi, I sighed, thinking, 'So this is how it ends up.'

[10 days remain until the start of the Fifth Scenario.]

[A Sub Scenario to supplement the interim period is in progress.]

Classification: Sub

Difficulty: C+

Clear Condition: Survive for 10 days in the ruined city. You must eat three meals a day and get sufficient sleep of at least 6 hours each day. Also, don't forget to pay a daily survival fee of 500 coins before going to sleep each night. Violating any one of these will result in a clear penalty.

Duration: 10 days

Reward: None

Failure: Death

* This scenario is subject to a 'Coin Event'.

* All monster species appearing in the scenario have a certain probability of dropping coins.

[Current Coins Held: 990,570C]

"Nothing will change by staying here... Let's go."

At my words, Melusine asked as if curious.

"Where are you going, Master?"

In response to Melusine's question, I smiled and gave a simple, clear answer.

"Hidden Dungeon."

And so, Melusine and I began heading towards Songpa-gu, slaughtering any monsters we saw along the way.

[Skill 'Black Dragon's Flame Lv. 4' is activated.]

Swoooooooooosh!!!!!!!!

Whoooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!

After the Black Dragon's Flame passed, only blackened ashes and black flames remained as embers.

[Current Coins Held: 1,020,570C]

[You are the first in the Seoul Dome to acquire 1,000,000 coins.]

[Achievement 'Wealthy of Seoul Dome' has been accomplished.]

[Acquired 100,000 coins as an achievement reward.]

[Your achievement is broadcast throughout the Seoul Dome.]

"Hey! Who said you could announce that without my permission!?"

I was dumbfounded that it was announced without my consent, but then shook my head, thinking, 'Whatever.'

"Melusine, did you get a lot of coins?"

"Yes! I got a lot, Master! Here!"

[Incarnation Melusine has paid you 200,000 coins.]

"Huh? Why are you giving this to me?"

"Because I don't need it.... And Master needs this, right?"

Melusine smiled with a 'Did I do good?' expression, and I patted her head.

[I want some too..... That's not fair.... Why only Melusine....]

Of course, someone inside the wall was incredibly jealous.

After that, we somehow managed to arrive at the Han River.

'Of course, I saw some fucked up shit along the way....'

On the way here, Melusine and I saw a coin farm, similar in form to the one Kim Dokja had seen.

A coin farm where people were treated like livestock, with corpses scattered everywhere.

What happened to that coin farm, you ask? Of course, Melusine and I wiped out the ringleaders and their gang, then freed the imprisoned people.

'I can still faintly smell that fishy, horrible blood scent....'

While reminiscing about that horrific coin farm, I shook my head and was about to cross the Han River when I saw a girl in the distance.

'That kid... she looks familiar somehow?'

Upon looking closely at the girl with blonde hair, short hair with no bangs, wearing a white t-shirt, an apricot-colored cardigan over a tank top, and jeans, I soon realized her identity.

'No way..... Shin Yuseung!?'

Recognizing that the girl crouching on the ground, staring blankly into space with a gloomy expression, was Shin Yuseung, I felt a momentary panic inside.

'Why? In the original story, wasn't she with the wanderers? So why is she alone now?'

Quickly turning things over in my mind, I pondered briefly before thinking, 'I don't know,' and slowly approached Shin Yuseung.
