Apathy [ Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint x Male Oc ] ( Abandoned )

Episode 1: THE BEGINNING OF THE END [3]

[I told you to be quiet.]

I kept my eyes open knowing what was going to happen so I could se the reaction of the others around me.

as the dokkaebi's eyes turned red. Something burst, and the subway became silent.

"Uh, uh. Uh..." There was a big hole in the forehead of the person arguing, he's annoying anyways. The man who had spoken several times collapsed on the spot.

[This isn't a movie shoot.]

There was a cracking sound once again. This time, it was a person talking about the captain.

[It isn't a dream. It isn't a novel either.]

One, two... Blood sprayed into the air as the heads of some people started to burst.

They were all the people who had protested against the dokkaebi, as well as the ones who screamed or went wild. Those who caused the slightest fuss had a hole in their heads. Suddenly, the subway became a bloodbath.

[This isn't the 'reality' that you know. Do you understand? So everyone shut up and listen to me.]

More than one third the people present here died. Blood and body pieces filled the subway. Now, the people didn't scream. Like primitive apes in front of a powerful predator, everyone just watched the dokkaebi with terror

I just sat there unfazed by the situation, in my hope humanity was as good as dead long ago

[Everyone, your lives have been nice so far. Isn't that right?]

By the special needs seating, an elderly grandfather and his grandson met the eyes of the dokkaebi.

[You have been living too long for free. Isn't life too generous? You were born and paid no price for breathing, eating, pooping and breeding! Ha! You really live in a good world!]

No one really lives free, but yes for some life is too generous, people who where inoccent going to jail and the real convict gets to live their life, such things like this make life generous for some

[But now the good days are over. How long can you continue living for free? If you want to enjoy happiness, it is common sense to pay a price. Isn't that right?]

The gasping people couldn't answer. Then at that time, someone carefully raised their hand. "D-Do you want money?"

I wondered what type of person could speak in the middle of this situation, but unfortunately , I knew his face.

My Co Worker Dong-Hyun, who I think was probably drunk because otherwise a wimp like him would have never even spoke

Dong-Hyun was in a job higher than me and made a lot more money than me, knowing my hourly pay It was pocket change for him

Dong-Hyun pulled out his business card as people cheered him on. It was the atmosphere of a savior fighting against terrorists.

"How much do you want?"

He was offering a sum that was overly large for even someone with a job like his

[Hrmm, you are giving me money?]

"T-That's right! The cash I have right now isn't much but... I can give you anything if you let me out of here."

[Money, good. A plant fibre that many humans mutually agree on.]

Dong-Hyun's expression brightened. It was an 'Indeed, money is everything' expression. How pitiful.

"Now, this is all I have―"

[It only applies in your time and space.]

"Huh?"

At the next moment, flames appeared in the air, and the cheques in the Dyomg-Hyungs hands burned up. He let out a scream.

[That paper has no value in the macrocosm world. If you do this one more time, I will blow away your head.]

"U-Uhhh..."

Fear once again spread on the faces of the people present. It was easy to read what they were thinking because of their face expressions

[Phew, the debt is piling up during the time when you are noisy. Well, yes. Rather than explain it a hundred times, isn't it quicker for you to make money yourself?]

The dokkaebi's horns rose like they were antennas, and its body floated to the ceiling of the train.

A moment later, a message rang out.

[#BI-7623 channel is open.]
[The constellations have entered.]

A small window emerged in front of everyone's blank eyes.

[The main scenario has arrived!]

The dokkaebi smiled faintly as it became transparent and disappeared into the next space.

[Then, good luck everyone. Please show me an interesting story.]
