1.1K 72 11
                                    

The dokkaebi’s voice rang out.

A group of intermediate and low-grade dokkaebis were looking down like they were watching a burning house.

Bihyung’s figure could also be seen.

He whistled when his eyes met Kim Dokja eyes.

There are also some other low-grade dokkaebis that stand near Bihyung who avoided the eyes of Cale's group.

The dokkaebi in the middle of the crowd slowly opened his mouth and spoke to all of Seoul.

[Incarnations of Seoul! I have to tell you unfortunate news. Unfortunately, due to the actions of some people, one of the disasters has woken up in Gangdong-gu.]
The dokkaebi smiled as he looked at the direction of Kim Dokja and Cale’s group.

The dokkaebi smile is so wicked.

This bastard? Kim Dokja cursed in his mind.

[Ah, the sound of your sighs can be heard from here. I can see people who are already leaving Gangdong-gu. Haha, everyone. You should listen to the end. You will regret it later if you run away now. This disaster is definitely an opportunity for you.]
The dokkaebi spoke in a loud voice.

Cale frowned at the dokkaebi’s speech.

The fans are looking at the dokkaebi who speak in a loud face as if they saw a filthy thing.

They act like that because they hate most non-believers without looking at their status or species.

They only only get friendly to anyone that might be that join the fans circle or have same interest or beliefs with them.

[Haven’t you been having a hard time gathering coins? I know it all. Your life collapsed overnight and now strange existences are taking your coins. The people who were friends yesterday are suddenly stabbing you today. I’m glad I’m not you. Right now, the stars in the sky are probably tell you, “Hey, shake your ass a little better. I’ll give you 100 coins.”]
The dokkaebi continued with his speech.

[A handful of constellations are giggling and laughing.]

[Some constellations looking with cold eyes.]

[Some constellations laughing at the dokkaebi’s foolishness.]

[Some constellations laughing at the dokkaebi’s crazy joke.]

[Some constellations interest with what would happen to the dokkaebi’s fate.]

[Some constellations dislike the dokkaebi’s vulgar words (especially because their Godly Idol’s there).]

[Some constellations preparing some popcorn.]

[Some constellations...]
...

The constellations have different reactions.

“Did that damn bastard looked at Our Godly Idols when saying something like ‘shake your ass’?” A fans muttered in small voice with intense killing intents.

Of course it was just her imagination.
But.

[Some constellations angry at the non-believers dokkaebi.]

[Some constellations cursed at the non-believers dokkaebi.]

[Some constellations glare at the non-believers dokkaebi.]

[Some constellations sharpening their weapons.]

[Some constellations...]
...

The constellations that join the crazy cult shows their animosity to the dokkaebi.

Those who like the dokkaebi’s speech, those who dislike it and those who are only watching what happened.

The other dokkaebis like Bihyung and the other low-grade dokkaebis around him lower their head as if they were ashamed from being the same dokkaebi with the one that speaking right now.

But it didn’t stop the dokkaebi from continuing on with his speech.
[I understand that you feel like shit and hate these jerks. Since the world is destroyed, you just want to live the way you want. You are very courageous but you feel a sense of helplessness when you realize that this world is divided in two. You feel disappointed when you realize that your constellation, which was barely obtained after shaking your ass, is inferior to the constellation of a successful person. You feel angry about the unfair world. I’m well aware.]

More constellations seems to get angrier as the dokkaebi continue his speech.

[Some constellations oppose the dokkaebi’s speech.]

[Some constellations angry at the dokkaebi’s foolishness.]

[Some constellations said that dokkaebi is courting death.]

[Some constellations preparing the grave for the dokkaebi.]

[Some constellations...]
...

Kim Dokja understood the reason of the behavior of Bihyung’s and the low-grade dokkaebis around him after looking at the constellations reactions.

Speaking of which, this dokkaebi wasn’t ordinary. Kim Dokja looked and recognized the identity of the dokkaebi that speaking right now.

A low-grade dokkaebi with weak courage wouldn’t be able to say this.

Their channel would be ruined if there was a backlash from the constellations.

But this was only for minority channels.

The bigger the channel, the more different the dokkaebi.

They knew the laws of the story.

They couldn’t tell a big story if they were only obsessed with subscriptions.

A true storyteller must deal with the ‘person’ rather than the ‘audience.’

But he’s facing the wrong person. Kim Dokja thought and looked at the scary angry mobs beside him.

“Why most dokkaebis keep acting like that?”

Someone sighed as he watched the dokkaebi that making a long speech with arrogant attitude.

It was Cale voice.

“Is this another intermediate dokkaebi?”
Alberu said with calm manner as if he was watching some shows.

“No, he was a low-grade dokkaebi.” Kim Dokja decided to answer them.

“Hmm?! But why do the other intermediate and low-grade dokkaebis were listening to him?” The person who heard Kim Dokja’s answer asked.

Kim Dokja was also wondering why a low-grade dokkaebi replaced the position of an intermediate dokkaebi.

Kim Dokja then continue to closely observed the dokkaebi who was still talking.

[I have prepared something for all of you. You who are unlucky, lucky or worked hard, you have a chance to become ‘someone’ overnight.]
The dokkaebi was still continue with his speech.

The pointed horn on the crown. The leg shown through the white cap looked like a one-legged crow. Kim Dokja looked at the dokkaebi’s appearance.

Wait a minute, surely this bastard wasn’t…Dokgak? Kim Dokja finally recognized the dokkaebi’s identity.

At this moment, a huge screen appeared in the air.

Then a bleeding boy fleeing was shown on the screen.

[Now, this boy you are seeing is a SSS-grade item walking around! Are you looking at him from head to toe? His name is Myung Ilsang. He was fortunate enough to be picked by the Star Stream to go to another world. Can you imagine it? Imagine being summoned to another dimension, suddenly receiving a powerful strength, spending a hot night with a cute elf girlfriend, saving the world and being loved as a warrior! That’s right. This damn guy is the ‘disaster’ you have to catch today.]
Dokgak started to introduced and explained about Myung Ilsang.

Kim Dokja realized the reason of the other dokkaebis actions.

“Why that damn dokkaebi doing something like this?” One of the angry fans behind Kim Dokja said.

“It was because he was the dokkaebi of a major channel.” Kim Dokja spoke as if he was answering the question.

That’s why the other dokkaebis could only listen to him.

[I can already hear your resentment. How the hell can you kill a SSS-grade? Haha, there is no need to worry. This guy currently has a penalty on him. His powers are sealed. He is strong but he is a treasure chest if you hit him all at once.]
Dokgak continues his speech and his expression became so twisted as he could imagine the results of his words.

“…He is creepy.” Han Sooyoung clicked her tongue.

As a writer, she had already grasped the dokkaebi’s intentions.

If a disaster was called a disaster, no one would come. Then what if the disaster was a treasure chest? Kim Dokja unconsciously clenched his hands.

[Your life hasn’t been ruined yet. Rather, I can say that you have good luck. The sub scenario that I offer now will be a great stepping stone to reverse your life. Now, the chance will only be for one day! Move immediately! Only those who move the quickest can become the owner of a SSS-grade item!]

Like giving the other survivors his last push, he finally finished his long speech.

As soon as Dokgak finished with his speech, the incarnations scattered throughout Seoul would gather in Gangdong-gu.

[The sub scenario has been updated.]
+
[The sub-scenario – SSS-grade Hunt]
Category: Sub
Difficulty: B ~ ???
Clear Conditions: Get rid of the SSS-grade Myung Ilsang.
Time Limit: None
Compensation: 50,000 coins, ???
Failure:  The fall of Seoul Dome.
+

The worst scenario was beginning.

Perhaps due to the failure result of the scenario shining red in the air, the huge reward that had never been seen before seemed insignificant.

“Quickly find him before everyone dies.” Kim Dokja said as he realized the danger of this sub-scenario.

“…Won’t he be affected by probability?” Han Sooyoung asked.

“The probability is offset to some extent by the interest of the constellations.” Kim Dokja explained.

Although most of the constellations from Bihyung’s and other low-grade dokkaebis channel are disliking Dokgak, but the constellations from his channel are interested.

This was why dokkaebis preferred exciting scenarios.

Because the stories that many constellations wanted offset the probabilities.

Of course, it would be the responsibility of the dokkaebis if it failed, but this situation was different.

[The eyes of many constellations are shining.]

[Some constellations watching with excitement.]

[Some constellations dislike the new scenario.]

[Some constellations looking at the constellations that like the new scenario as thrash.]

[Some constellations...]
...

If it went as Dokgak planned, Seoul would end before the fifth scenario began.

Han Sooyoung immediately used all her magic power to summon the avatars to search.

After a minute passed.

Suddenly they saw the messages.

[The eighth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]

[The ninth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]
·····.

They know that the dokkaebi sub-scenario was the cause of it.

But it was too quick.

The messages continue appearing in short time. 

[The twelfth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]

[The thirteenth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]

[The fourteenth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]
·····.

Kim Dokja felt a sense of hopelessness as he watched the messages appearing in the sky. It was too late.

Kim Dokja looked at Cale expression that suddenly frowned at something.

“Did you know his location? We need to find him right now.” Kim Dokja asked Cale.

“Choi Han is facing him right now.” Cale calmly said.

Kim Dokja was surprised by Cale statements.

But the notification suddenly stops.

____________________________________________

Myung Ilsang that teleport to different place is running while bleeding from the wounds he got from fighting Kim Dokja’s party and Cale’s group.

He try to found someone to help him to release his seals.

After few minutes running, suddenly some people approached him and shouted.

“Over here! There he is!”

“That brat went this way!”

There were already people flocking.

They were the people that blinded by their greed for the sub-scenario compensation.

Looking at the flocking people, Myung Ilsang was laughing as he was surrounded by a group of people.

“Uh… right. Here I am. You want to meet me, right?”

“You jerk! Are you having fun?” The person angrily attack him.

“I’m having a lot of fun…”

“This fuc…hey! Kill him!”

“Do you want to kill me?”

“Shut up and die you bastard!”

They then able to see the appearing messages.

[The eighth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]

[The ninth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]
·····.

The people keep flocking toward Myung Ilsang.

Some of them cursed at him when he talked and asked them some questions.

As they keep flocking at him, Myung Ilsang’s smiles become wider.

Myung Ilsang keep avoided the swords waving through the air and continue to asked, “Are you jealous and want me to send you to that other world?”

“What, you will send me there?”

“Of course. I will send you. You really want to go right?”

“If I can go then of course I want to go! It is better than this shitty world…”

Myung Ilsang nodded with a crazed look on his face and extended his right arm towards the crowd.
“Because that place, I destroyed it.”

Another string of messages continue appearing in short time. 

[The twelfth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]

[The thirteenth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]

[The fourteenth seal of the returnee ‘Myung Ilsang’ has been released.]
·····.

[The character ‘Myung Ilsang’ has triggered ‘Small Black Fire Cannon’ Lv. 3!]

At that time, some of the people that flocking around Myung Ilsang turned pale because they just realizing how dangerous Myung Ilsang was.

“Back off!”

They could hear someone shouting at them and some of them followed their instinct and reflexively followed the voice.

Then a black shadow appears on front of the people who backed off.

When they turned their head, they able to see.

A violet flash overturned the forest of buildings.

Up to half a dozen high-rise buildings were hit and an entire street disappeared.

Those who was blind by their greed still ran towards him and disintegrated without leaving even bone dust behind.

A single entity that could be a disaster. This was the real strength of a returnee.

But his attack was cut by the black shadow.

The black light cut the violet flash and divided it into two.

Some of them collapsed beside as they saw the unbelievable view. “Crazy… how do we defeat that? Did we try to defeat that monster?”

They realize how foolish their decision before.

“If not for that person help...” Another person looking at the black shadow.

Suddenly a group of people are running toward their direction.

“Stop! It’s dangerous for you to get closer.”
They tried to warned them of the danger of Myung Ilsang.

But that group seems to ignored their warnings.

As the group of people getting closer to their direction, they are able to see how weird they are.

Afterall some of them are holding video cameras and seems to recording the dangerous thing that happened between the boy and the black shadow.

“Choi Han-nim, Fighting!” One of the fans shouted.

“Oh! So cool! As expected of one of Our Godly Idols!” Another fans said while admiring Choi Han appearance.

“Well..., as you know that Choi Han-nim is the real Sword God. Of course he can cut such thing.” Another fans nodded and said.
“That is pervert boy from the notification from that dokkaebi scum, right?” One of the fans looked at Myung Ilsang’s appearance and said.

“Shit! I hope he won’t defiled our pure Choi Han-nim.” Another fans said with worried expression.

“How dare him! Cale-nim is the only one who fit to be with Choi Han-nim.” Another fans angrily said.

[Some constellations agree with your words.]

“No! Cale-nim is the best pair with Alberu-nim.”

[Some constellations agree with your words.]

“But they are blood brother. Don’t you have any moral?”

“You don’t understand about the best part of such forbidden love, how childish.”

Some of them started to argue.

Not only the fans but also the constellations.

The people that was saved by Choi Han could only speechlessly or dumbfounded watching the fans arguing.

They could act like that because they believe in Choi Han strength.

Right, they believe that Choi Han won’t be defeated by some unknown pervert like Myung Ilsang.

That’s why they could argue with each other while watching and admiring Choi Han appearance who fighting with Myung Ilsang.

After a while, some of them pinched or slapped their own face to prove that this was not a dream.

Different fight happening in their front and back.

They could only turn their head back and forth to compare the different situations that happened and sandwiched them.

Both fight have the same but different intensity.

It’s not a dream but it’s more unrealistic than a dream.

Especially how those scary and crazy the group of people who still able to argue about something that they thought as unimportant things when such life threatening fight behind them.

On their back, Choi Han is having an intense fight with Myung Ilsang.

“Wow! You can also use an energy sword! Hey, are you also from the Hunters Association?”
Myung Ilsang asked Choi Han while avoiding his sword that clad by aura.

-   Choi Han, don’t talk to him. Just ignore him. That's what Cale said. 🐲

Listening to Choi Jung Gun words, Choi Han ignored him and continue his attacks.

-   Cale asked you to keep him busy until he arrives. 🐲

Myung Ilsang looking at Choi Han aura.
“Who are you? Are you the leader of the person that attacked me before? Woah!”

Choi Han attack became sharper as he raised his speed and graze Myung Ilsang’s face.

As Myung Ilsang know that Choi Han won’t answer him, the smile on his face disappeared.

“How did you get the information about me?” Myung Ilsang glaring at Choi Han.

“You are really strong.” Myung Ilsang continued.

Myung Ilsang expression became serious for few seconds and suddenly he smiled as he chanted something.

Choi Han feel something was wrong and try to cut his limbs.

But.

[The character ‘Myung Ilsang’ has used Blink Lv.3.]

Myung Ilsang’s figure became blurry.

As Choi Han attacks barely graze him, his body  faded away before he completely disappeared.

Choi Han could only look at the scattered some blood at where Myung Ilsang was before.

Then a sound of a group of people is getting closer.

“Shit. We’re too late.” Kim Dokja cursed as he saw how Myung Ilsang run away from them.

“Cale-nim, I’m sorry I couldn’t hold him longer.” Choi Han come closer and apologize.

“It’s not your fault. He had some troublesome skills. It would cause trouble if we left him like that.” Cale said.

“Do you know his location?” Kim Dokja suddenly asked with high expectations.
But before Cale answered his question.

Han Sooyoung shouted, “I found him. He is 2km northwest from here!”

They quickly followed Han Sooyoung to the direction that she guided them.

The survivors that Choi Han saved could only blankly watching at their figures that getting farther from them.

It was a group with great numbers of people.

They know that they will be safe if they follow them.

But somehow their instinct also warned them to avoid those people.

From what happened to them, they understand that the fans are too crazy for them and they need to have great mental resilience if they want to keep their sanity intact while following that group.
