Chapter Text
Yeah... it would be nice if there were gold coins to loot, or diamond statues. Hm... it would be even better if there were lots of mana stones for Miss Rosalyn...
Cale, who was still reminiscing about the good times in his world, heard groans and grumbles of the alliance group.
oh right.. it's still in chaos.
"Uhh... h-he's out."
"This dog..."
Cale turned his gaze toward ground that was collapsing and the alliance members that were becoming a mess. There were also groans of pain from people who fell to third underground floor.
"Eeeeok...!"
that must be painful....
Among one of them was also Gong Pildu which was covered in dust and looked like it was in a mess. He glared at them, with an ugly face he was about to open his mouth. But before that happened, Bihyung appeared from thin air with his cute surprised face.
Cale waved his hand with a smile at Bihyung who raised his hand to his head.
[Oh hi humans- wait, no!]
It looks like Bihyung is communicating with Kim Dokja...
Cale chuckled when he saw Bihyung pointing at Kim Dokja in annoyance when constellation message appeared.
Different from Kim Dokja's message which contained chaos, Cale's message contained strange things.
[Absolute good constellation tells you not to be a bad boy]
[Absolute good constellation also said not to follow the incarnation of 'Kim Dokja' when he does bad things]
Wow... it feels like I'm getting a lecture...
[Constellation 'Demonic Judge of Fire' tells you to be careful]
[Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' says that you should not do reckless things like the incarnation of 'Kim Dokja']
[Constellation 'Bald General of Justice' favors your revolution.]
[Some constellations glare at Constellation 'Bald General of Justice' and tell them not to teach strange things]
[Constellation 'Bald General of Justice' falls silent.]
[Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' tells weak humans to stay away from chaos.]
[Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' chuckles]
[3,000 coins have been sponsored.]
...Kim Dokja is hated, right...?
Cale looked at Kim Dokja with sympathy as the alliance members shouted at them in annoyance.
"Y-You bastard!"
"Kill them!"
"Ack"
Kim Dokja suddenly carried Cale and started running to platform with Lee Hyunsung.
[Readers view the character information of 'Lee Hyunsung']
+
[Kim Dokja : Evolution was successful.
Cale : Ah.. yes.
Kim Dokja : Cale?
Cale : How long will you carry me?
Kim Dokja : eh, sorry. ]
+
Kim Dokja put Cale down, looked at noisy people and turned to Lee Hyunsung.
“Hyunsung-ssi, how many more times can you use it?”
"... Maybe once or twice more."
Lee Hyunsung was panting and clearly very tired.
Not long after, Cale saw a scattered group running in this direction. Kim Dokja asked Yoo Sangah who was running in front.
"Is there anywhere you can't destroy?"
"I destroyed them!"
"I didn't realize that the room could be damaged like this. We pounded on the ground together and it was destroyed..."
Jung Heewon followed.
"Just one sword thrust is needed"
"One fist"
Sayeru and Dorph also added while shrugging their shoulders.
The rest of group apart from the three of them is tasked with destroying the small Green Zone
Together with the group that had gathered, they went down the transfer corridor stairs to lane 4 and saw face of Lee Jihye who greeted them by waving her sword in the air.
"You destroyed them?"
"Yeah. That's easy. And hey Cale, you're still cute as usual."
Jihye waved her hand happily. Cale remembered Kim Dokja saying that like his uncle, Jihye attacked the green zone which contained five to eight people.
“Now what? Those bastards will run wild. Ah, there they are.”
Lee Jihye's expression changed as she looked behind them.
"I won't help you this time."
"I don't need it."
Jung Heewon pouted when she saw Lee Jihye retreat.
"What is up with her?"
"That's right, Heewon noona hasn't met Jihye yet, right?"
"Jihye?"
"Hmm... you'll see each other later. Let's handle this first."
Then a new scenario emerged.
[Bounty scenario has occurred!]
+
[Bounty Scenario – Assassination Commission]
Category: Sub
Difficulty: C
Clear Conditions: Constellation Channel #BIR-3642 has requested to kill a specific person. Please kill 'Kim Dokja' from Chungmuro Station.
Time Limit: 10 minutes.
Compensation: 2,000 coins.
Failure: None
+
+
[Cale : You're hated, right?
Kim Dokja : This will be fun.
Cale: Heh]
+
Cale looked at the angry people, accepted new scenario and glared at Kim Dokja.
"Wow, you seem to be famous, grasshopper ahjussi!!"
Kim Namwoon stared at the scenario with an eerie twinkle when Jung Heewon asked idly.
"I will receive 2,000 coins if I kill Dokja-ssi now?"
"Why, do you want to kill me?"
“Yeah, maybe. If you give me 200,000 coins then I don't know.”
"Oh, if it's that much I'll also try to tie Kim Dok-"
"Hyung."
"...hyung."
Cale glared at Kim Dokja who shrugged his shoulders with a grin at Cale.
“Dokja-ssi. Go behind me.”
Lee Hyunsung stepped in front. Jung Heewon remained on the right side and Cale on the left side. Dorph and Sayeru next to Cale and Heewon. Meanwhile Sangah, Gilyoung and Namwoon moved to block any access. It was a defense formed around Kim Dokja. Jung Heewon smiled.
"Now I can pay my debt."
"Dokja-ssi, we will try to block it somehow."
There are people showing hostility around. Angry landowners and tenants are blinded by the bounty search. Kim Dokja watched all his colleagues and opened his mouth.
"Do not be nervous."
Kim Dokja lightly grabbed Gilyoung and Cale's shoulders. Then move towards the train tracks.
"We don't have to fight them."
+
[Kim Dokja: I don't remember which regression, but Yoo Joonghyuk destroyed green zone as soon as he arrived at Chungmuro.
Cale : You follow that?
Kim Dokja : Yes, there will be a scenario update. ]
+
Cale raised his eyebrows as a blue window appeared.
[All green zones in this region have been destroyed and the main scenario has collapsed.]
[Difficulty is automatically adjusted according to the remaining scenario schedule.]
[Scenario content updated!]
+
[Main Scenario #3 – Emergency Defense]
Category: Main
Difficulty: B-
Clear conditions: All green zones in the region are destroyed and the monsters that will be created in remaining days suddenly become wild. Survive against a flood of monsters for the remaining time.
Time Limit: 8 hours.
Compensation: 1,000 coins.
Failure: –
+
"Wow, look at this, grasshopper ahjussi. You're making a mess, right?"
Kim Namwoon looked back at strange scenario between Kim Dokja and the blue window. Jung Heewon patted the white head soothingly.
"That's how it is Dokja-ssi"
"But I like this. Hehe"
Cale averted his gaze from Jung Heewon and Kim Namwoon who were chatting happily. Then looked at Kim Dokja.
+
[Cale : This is going to be messy.
Kim Dokja : Originally, there were three days left in the scenario. Now the monsters that were supposed to be created during the remaining time of green zone scenario will appear at once. In other words, it's simple.
Cale : Defense...
Kim Dokja : Yes, the defense game has started. ]
+
As soon as their conversation ended, a new window appeared.
[Emergency defense has b egun!]
"W-What?"
The people who approached started screaming. A monster's scream could be heard from outside the door. The waves of monsters moved like angry waves.
"Crazy! What the hell?"
The lane 3 platform quickly became a mess. People's faces became speculative as they watched the monsters coming from all sides. The bounty scenario was completely forgotten.
-Grrrr!
Some grolls ran up and bit some alliance members. People scattered into chaos and many people screamed.
Now is the only chance. Kim Dokja shouted at group members.
"Go to the transfer route!"
Kim Dokja lifted Cale again and started jumping up the transit stairs. Dorph carried Gilyoung and followed Kim Dokja with the other group members.
"I can run alone..."
"You want faint again?"
"It's not always like that and I've had enough rest."
"But I want to carry you..."
"..."
Cale ignored the grumbling Kim Dokja as they continued running. By the time they reached the top level, people were blocking the way.
"What? Move!"
"Do you want to fall?"
Kim Dokja kicked several followers away and pulled out a sword with one hand. People were shocked by the Pure White Star Energy blade and retreated.
"You don't understand the situation yet."
"W-What?"
"Even if you come, you won't be able to survive."
There was a feeling of despair in people's expressions. There are no more rooms. Now there is no longer a safe zone from monsters in Chungmuro.
"What should we do?"
"What else? Fight."
“Don't say crazy words! This is all because of you guys! If you didn't ruin our room…!”
Cale looked at Kim Dokja who was using his sword and destroying the transfer ladder.
-Kwarurung!
"Uwaaaack!"
The center of the stairs fell with a big sound along with the people. Cale frowned.
+
[Cale : What are you doing?
Kim Dokja : They need to help Gong Pildu fight the monsters.
Cale : That would be difficult.
Kim Dokja: If they were together, it would be easy. We just need to make them fight. There are many of them. ]
+
Cale looked at the crowd that was getting increasingly angry. One of them shouted.
"Crazy! Quickly find another ladder! Immediately!"
But Hyunsung had already run and destroyed another transit ladder. Next, sounds of quarreling and something breaking were heard on the other side.
“Shit! Waaah!”
The screams of people trapped on platform in row 3 were heard. Lee Jihye approached Kim Dokja and asked.
"Ahjussi. This isn't what you told me. If you leave it like this..."
"I know."
Kim Dokja put Cale down and looked at the downstairs that had become a mess. If they just left it like this, they would all be killed. Whether it's from monsters or using each other's bodies as stepping stones to climb to the top.
But Cale knew that Kim Dokja definitely wouldn't let that happen.
[Reader uses 'Bookmark'.]
Cale raised his eyebrows looking at the blue window. Then he blinked many times and narrowed his eyes. That was because for some reason, Cale saw Cheon Inho's shadow around Kim Dokja. Come to think of it, this was the first time Cale saw Kim Dokja using his bookmark up close.
he said he used the skills of the novel characters... hmm.. but this is what it looks like...?
While Cale was still staring at Cheon Inho's shadow, Kim Dokja's voice was heard.
“Hi Gong Pildu. How long are you going to stand there?”
Cale turned his gaze to Gong Pildu who was glaring at Kim Dokja.
"This dog...!"
“Don't you have to act to live? If you move, everyone can live.”
Cale grinned.
This seems to be Inho's instigator skill.
"P-Pildu-ssi!"
"P-Pildu-ssi, please save us!"
Gong Pildu's expression changed. Like how Inho easily influences his surroundings, now Kim Dokja can too.
“The third scenario is not as difficult as you think. Once everyone gives up on the room and participates in the defense, there are enough people to deal with monsters.”
Kim Dokja's words were half true. If Chungmuro had united before they got here, there would have been far fewer casualties. However, the biggest pitfall of this scenario is Green Zone.
"If Gong Pildu fights with people, you can survive."
Those who fight together will survive, those who run away will die.
"Now there's no room for you to escape. Forget whether you're a landlord or a tenant and fight. Or you'll all die."
Gong Pildu put on a hostile face and the people around him looked at Gong Pildu in panic.
"Damn, this damn guy...!"
"Pildu-ssi! Please help us!"
Finally, alliance members gathered around Gong Pildu. If he fled here alone, he would ignore everyone else and doom them to death. In the end Gong Pildu made a decision.
“Damn… Everyone gather here!”
Cale smiled.
That uncle isn't a bad person, right?
"I need time to install the new Armed Zone. Everyone hold on!"
Blood splattered everywhere and people screamed as their limbs were torn apart.
"Aaaagh!"
The people from the alliance gathered neatly, but the tenants left the formation at will.
"Yoo Sangah-ssi."
“Yes. Please leave it to me.”
Yoo Sangah used her threads to save people who could no longer fight. After all, their mission was to buy time for Gong Pildu to deploy the Armed Zone.
"U-Uhh... t-thank you."
The tenants were rescued and towed by Sangah. Some of them tried to wrap the injured area, but others just stared at Kim Dokja carefully. Kim Dokja smiled and said.
"Oh, do you want the prize?"
[Time limit for the bounty scenario has expired.]
[Reward hanging on Kim Dokja has been destroyed.]
Along with the system message, Kim Dokja put on a fake sad face.
"Sorry, it's too late."
"I-I'm sorry."
That tenants looked embarrassed as they put away their weapons. Gong Pildu's voice was heard, who had finished installing his armed zone. But Cale ignored all that and took out potions and cloth.
"Namwoon hyung, Hyunsung hyung, Heewon noona, and uncle. Help me apply the potion to their wounds."
"Oh yes"
Hyunsung went forward first and watched Cale pour the potion onto a wet cloth and wipe it on the wound. The wound stopped bleeding and got smaller. Then Sayeru took out a bandage from his spatial bag and bandaged the wound.
"We can pour it straight in?"
Cale shaking his head at Kim Namwoon's question.
"My potion isn't that much, it's enough to stop the bleeding."
Cale gave the wet cloth to Hyunsung who looked at it with a twinkle of admiration, which made Cale shiver. For some reason he remembered Clopeh and video recording devices.
damn.. I just remembered. That damn recorder hasn't been destroyed yet, right? That crazy bastard, what if the kids see him?!
Cale threw out some more potions at Kim Namwoon with a black face.
"Cut off the hands of naughty people who have evil intentions"
Cale looked at several of the tenants who were staring at the potion greedily and giving off a dominating aura until they salivated. Kim Namwoon nodded in understanding and took out his dagger.
"You should be grateful for being helped, don't try to cause trouble. Unlike Cale, I will kill and throw you to the monsters if you do something funny."
"I agree with Namwoon"
Jung Heewon took out her sword and swung right and left.
"You guys should be grateful and not make a mess, okay?"
Jung Heewon smiled brightly but stared sharply at tenant, who nodded quickly like he was going to pound an onion.
Sayeru also took out a lot of bandages and showed how to bandage the wound properly.
"Let me."
Heewon took the cloth from Hyunsung and shifted it roughly. Which made Hyunsung scratch his head awkwardly.
-Dududududu!
-Kwang! Kwaang! Kwaang!
Cale patted Hyunsung's shoulder who was still crouching and approached Kim Dokja who was still looking at the crowd fighting together.
That moles screamed and became hollowed out by the bullets shot by Gong Pildu's zone. Even the glass doors and walls were also destroyed.
"As expected of Pildu-ssi!"
"Wow!"
People also attacked monsters that bullets couldn't handle. As Kim Dokja said, Gong Pildu and these people were enough to destroy the monster tide.
“All of you damn trash, disappear!”
Lee Hyunsung spoke in awe.
“This is a very extraordinary stigma. Is it okay when the magic power consumption is so large?”
"It's a good stigma so it'll be fine for a while."
"Shall we help...?"
"Gong Pildu is enough. If we go down then he will be distracted and stop shooting."
+
[Cale : While?
Kim Dokja : The Defense Master sponsor behind Gong Pildu is really perfect for a scenario like this. As long as he supported Gong Pildu, Gong Pildu would not die here. 'As long as the sponsorship continues.'
Cale : But it can't be up to 8 hours of defense, right?
Kim Dokja : Don't worry, I have a plan.
Cale : ?
Kim Dokja : Trust your handsome hyung.
Cale: ...
Kim Dokja : For now, let's relax. ]
+
Because of that, Kim Dokja patted Cale's red head, sat down and stretched his legs.
He looked at Hyunsung and the group behind who were still applying the potion, then said.
"We'll suck on honey for a bit."
"...Is it time for personal care?"
Lee Hyunsung sat with Kim Dokja and the group members also started to relax one by one.
They were only applying potions to serious injuries, so there wasn't much work, considering that Sangah would withdraw them before the people were seriously injured. Jung Heewon gave the cloth to Kim Namwoon and asked.
“Thank you. I didn't get enough sleep… can I sleep now?”
"Yes."
“Cale, save the rest.”
"hm?"
Kim Namwoon returned the potion to Cale. Cale saw the chaos below but before he could ask, Sangah said confidently.
"Don't worry, I will pull them out before they get seriously injured. We can't run out of potions in an emergency."
"Okay"
Cale shrugged his shoulders and put away the potions and cloth. He then sat next to his uncle.
"Want to sleep?"
Cale shook his head at Sayeru who was preparing to take out a teddy bear.
"I've had enough rest."
Sayeru nodded and put back the hand that had been in the spatial bag.
10 minutes later, Jung Heewon lay on the ground and snored. Kim Dokja scratched his head in confusion. It seemed he didn't understand, how could Hewoon sleep so easily?
"A-Aren't we too relaxed?"
Only Sangah sounded worried. But Kim Dokja just shook his head and looked at the chaos.
"Just think of standing on the right line."
"Then there..."
"They got the wrong line."
The confusion at the lower level had almost subsided because of Gong Pildu.
-Dududududu!
"Uwaaaah!"
Kim Dokja thought that Gong Pildu should have lived a better life from the start.
“Fuck! Fuuuuuckers!”
Amidst the endless procession of monsters, Gong Pildu's scream resounded.
yeah, let's just go with it
Finally Cale shrugged, he activated the record and watched the monster's movements.
Meanwhile somewhere in Puzzle City.
Alberu was thinking while holding his Taerang. He recalled how someone named Gong Pildu used his weapon to shoot monsters.
"Taerang."
“Yes, Alberu Crossman-nim”
"Can you shape that thing?"
"That's difficult"
"You can form weapons other than guns?"
"Can"
"Really? Please."
Then Taerang changed into a strange shape, Alberu looked at object strangely. However, if Cale were there, he would know that the shape was a Bazooka.
“Put it on your shoulders Alberu Crossman-nim”
"Hm? Like that?"
Alberu put the Bazooka on his shoulder, and not long afterward fired.
"Ack"
-Bang!!!!
-Brak!!
Alberu, who was thrown to the other side, stared stiffly as he returned the taerang into spear form.
"..."
The walls of the underground training room collapsed. Even the top floor was shaking.
“Alberu!!”
Tasha ran downstairs, she saw the wall and looked at Alberu worriedly.
"Did someone attack you? What is this?"
"Not that..."
"Prince cookies!!!!! What is this!?"
Cute Raon-nim flapped quickly and looked at the ruins worriedly.
"That..."
"Don't worry, cookies prince!! I, the great and mighty Raon Miru have used magic to prevent this house from collapsing!!! I have also contacted our families to come!!"
"...."
Alberu rubbed his face with his one free hand.
"It's me..."
"Hah?"
"What did you say, cookies prince?"
"...dont call.."
But before Alberu finished speaking, many teleportation lights appeared containing his companions.
"..."
Now in front of many eyes, Alberu had to explain his pranks and jealousy when he saw skills from another world.
Alberu swore, he would never try another form of weapon he had never seen...
"Damn it.."
