Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 : [The Regressor (5)]

No one dares to attack Yu Junghyoek who is standing still in the middle of the wagon, looking at Choi Hanguy corpse.

Dokkaebi Bihyung : "Congratulations, the two of you survived the first scenario, here is your reward !"

[You succeed the First Main Scenario : ]

[Reward : 300 coins]

[You can now access your STATUS WINDOW]

~Unfortunatly I had to kill other people to stop this crazy monster... And in the rush I didn't realised I left three people alive, a odd number, of course only one could survived and one death was useless.~ Yu Junghyoek thinks with guilt in his heart.

The other survivor is a woman looking in her thirties. She has a dark skin and the curliest hair Yu Junghyoek has ever seen. She is wearing an orange dress and is holding a self defense gaz spray and her handbag.

~She killed someone with that ? How lucky...~

Yu Junghyoek : "Hi, I am Yu Junghyoek, congratulations on surviving."

The woman : "...Thank you, my name is Han Aweshaila."

Dokkaebi Bihyung : "Listen to me incarnations."

"Now its time to chose your Supporting Constellation".

A blue screen appears in front of everyone.

Bihyung : "Constellations are celestial behaviors, they are those who inspired all your myths and fates and they're willing to help you in your journey."

[You already have a Supporting Constellation]

~Of course I can't get a second one.~ Yu Junghyoek tells himself.

Han Aweshaila : "It's empty ?"

Bihyung : "Incarnations who don't have any constellation sponsors will most likely die in the following scenarios."

Han Aweshaila, talking to the Dokkaebi : "What ? Sir I don't have any proposition, I don't want to die please give me a Supporting Constellation."

Bihyung, with a twisted smile: "Too bad !"

Han Aweshaila, to Yu Junghyoek : "Do you have any constellation mister ?"

~I see, she wants to stay close to someone with a Constellation in hope to be protected.~ He analyses.

Yu Junghyoek : "Unfortunatly, me neither..."

~My plan is to avoid every mistakes I did in my past life, one of them was trusting the wrong people. I know who I can trust and I won't try with anyone else, not even her, I don't want to be betrayed again.~ Yu Junghyoek plans.

Han Aweshaila : "Aren't you worried ?"

Yu Junghyoek : "Just don't over think it."

~If only she knew... This dokkaebi is lying, I've seen a lot of people without Constellations surviving. The opposite is also true, having a Constellation doesn't make you immortal, like Namwoon... Wait, he is going to leave his wagon ! And Lee Hyunsung will be with him !~ Yu Junghyoek tells himself.

Him, to the Dokkaebi : "Can I leave now ?"

Dokkaebi Bihyung : "You need to wait for the Sponsor Selection to end for everyone, the next Scenario shall then begin."

Han Aweshaila, grabbing her spray : "Another battle ?"

Dokkaebi Bihyung : "I can't say anything, but it's got to be as exciting as the first one !"

Yu Junghyoek looks at the window, seeing the city under chaos.

Monsters are coming from everywhere, destroying cars, strangely no one is on the street.

Yu Junghyoek to the Dokkaebi : "What happend to all these drivers and other pedestrians ?"

Dokkaebi Bihyung : "They were all send to the nearby scenario area. As I just said, no one can go outside before the next scenario is ready."

Yu Junghyoek looks again and sees a holographic barrier growing around the city.

~I have heard about it during the Fourth Main Scenario from others but I only saw it for the first time during the Preparation phase of the Fifth Scenario, while looking for the Guides... This wall stops everyone from leaving the city.~

Yu Junghyoek to Bihyung : "Are there Scenario outside of the city too ?"

Dokkaebi Bihyung : "You are a curious one, survive long enough and you may find the answer."

Some military planes are flying over the barrier, entering the city and trying to shoot at the monsters.

~The military ? I didn't see them last time, maybe they didn't survive.~ Yu Junghyoek wonders.

Dokkaebi Bihyung : "Allright, the new scenario is ready, you may now leave the building."

~Building ? We are in a wagon. Wait he doesn't even look at us, is he managing multiple places at the same time ?~

Han Aweshaila : "The door is open mister, should we go ?"

Yu Junghyoek walking toward her : "Now its time to meet the others."

Han Aweshaila : "The... Others ?"

~Is he talking about those who survived the first scenario ? Wait, are they murderer too !?~ She asks herself.

Her to the Dokkaebi : "Did they kill people too ? Are we in danger ?"

The Dokkaebi : "Go see by yourself."

He snaps his fingers and the new scenario appears.

-----------------------------------------------------

Han Aweshaila looks at the holographic screen before turning to Yu Junghyoek who seems confident.

~He sure is strong, but I don't think he realizes how dangerous encountering these survivors could be.~ She complains in her head, following him.

Yu Junghyoek leaves the wagon and stands in front of the other one where his past companions are supposed to be.

The door opens and two men walks toward him. One of them looks strong but completly disgusted by what he had to do to survive.

The other one is younger and fit, looking like an over confident late teenager. He smiles as if this new world was made for him.

~Lee Hyunsung, Kim Namwoon... I really missed you my friends. This time I will protect you...~
