Everything turns dark and he fells a strong pulse in his heart.

He wakes up in the real world, he feels heavy again and is no more shining.

He is sitting in a subway cabine, everyone around looks peaceful.

~What happend ? What am I doing here ?~ Yu Junghyoek asks himself.

Voice in the speaker : "Apgujeong station. Next station will be Oksu station"

~Right, I was going to pick up Mia from school.~ Yu Junghyoek realizes.

~I feel like I was asleep just now, I made such a strange dream but I can't remember...~ Yu Junghyoek telle himself.

Some people get out of the wagon, and a few come in, among them, a face Yu Junghyoek can't forget.

~Choi Hangyu ! What is he doing here !?~ Yu Junghyoek asks himself as he suddenly stands up.

Choi Hangyu looks at him with lifeless eyes and sits far away from Yu Junghyoek.

~Wait a minute, how do I know his name ?~ Yu Junghyoek realizes.

[Loading complete]

Suddenly the train stops and the light shuts off.

~strange… I hope I won't be late…~ Junghyoek thinks with the stange feeling of having experienced the same situation before

A few seconds later, a light circle appears in the air.

Everyone stops talking instantly, Yu Junghyoek is very confused.

"What is …that ?" A passenger asks.

The circle grows bigger and a strange creature appears from it.

"Hello everyone… I'm Dokkaebi Bihyung!" The creature says.

Covered with light gray fur, floating in the air, with a small horn on top of the head, this friendly creature called "dokkaebi" was too peculiar to be called a fairy, too malicious to be called an angel and too innocent to be called a devil.

~A... A Dokkaebi !? What is he doing here ?~ Yu Junghyoek asks himself.

Everyone starts whispering.

Passenger 1 : "What do you want, talking pet ?"

Passenger 2 : "What is... That ?"

Dokkaebi : "Just shut-up and listen to me already…"

Passenger 3 : "Where are the controllers ?"

Passenger 4 : "Hey ! What are you ?"

Passenger 5 : "Listen, I have no time for this scenery, where is the camera ?"

~Wait, stop talking !~ Yu Junghyoek commands them in his head.

The creature's face starts turning evil.

It snaps its fingers and the head of the last one talking exploded instantly.

The woman's blood spills all over the wagon.

Almost everyone got his clothes soiled with it.

There is no more sound in the wagon.

~This is just like... My dream ?~ Yu Junghyoek realizes.

Suddenly every memories come back : His first murder, Choi Hangyu's explosion, the bridge, Kim Namwoon and Lee Hyunsung arrival, the subway fight, Seyna Kim, the bloody Geumho Station, the Green Zones, the flagpoles, Mia rescue and of course, the Tyrant King.

Processing all of this takes him some time and when he comes back to reality, the first thing he sees is a blue holographic screen : The First Scenario.
