Chapter 10: It's A Curse (1)

******

The next morning, a dokkaebi showed up. A different dokkaebi with black fur appeared in the air.

[H-How are you all doing? Haven't you been free for a while?]

Everyone stayed quiet as the dokkaebi kept talking.

[M-My friend who was originally in charge of this channel is undergoing disciplinary action... S-So, I am responsible for this scenario.]

The dokkaebi's timid tone was very memorable. His tone was timid but he was actually crueler than any other dokkaebi.

[T-Then everyone. D-Don't you look very peaceful? T-That Bihyung, he pretended to be pretentious only to set this level of scenario difficulty...]

'Everyone knows that already.'

Cale yawned as he lay on top of the subway bench. He's a bit grumpy that he couldn't sleep late anymore. Waking up early in the morning is really not his thing.

[A-Anyway, I will just...]

[A scenario penalty has been added.]

[From now on, food stockpiling is limited.]

[All existing stockpiled food has disappeared.]

"What a bummer."

Jung Heewon mumbled as she watched all the stockpiled food disappear without a trace. Normally, most people would react strongly about this. But everyone in the station just quietly watched the dokkaebi destroy the food supplies.

[Everyone, let's have fun from now on. Hehe...]

The dokkaebi's tone suddenly changed. It was followed by system messages.

[A scenario penalty has been added.]

[The 'survival cost' clause has been added.]

[From now on, 100 coins will be deducted every night for the 'survival cost'. If you can't pay the 'survival cost,' you will die.]

[The 'survival cost' penalty will be maintained until the second main scenario is cleared.]

[T-Then I will let everyone take care of it! Yihihihit!]

The dokkaebi said those words and disappeared.

"Did you guys know this would happen? This is just a sub scenario."

Kim Dokja asked Yoo Sangah, who was sitting beside him at that time.

"Not really, Dokja-ssi. We just expected something bad will happen."

Well, that was the half-truth. The other people staying on the station didn't know, but they learned that if a scenario looked easy, something terrible is bound to happen.

"I guess people are adopting well inside the scenarios."

"You're right, Dokja-ssi."

Kim Dokja muttered something. Yoo Sangah shook her head as she watch Kim Dokja, who seemed to be talking to himself.

At that time, a lady approached Jung Heewon who was standing near the stockpiled food before it all disappeared.

"Heewon-ssi, what should we do now? There's only a little amount of food left."

"Don't worry about it, we're gonna hunt later."

"...Hunt?"

The lady looked at Jung Heewon with a questioning gaze.
