Infinite Starry Sky

Episode 1

[It was to strange to call it a fairy, too evil to call it an angel, and to tranquil to call it a demon.]

Dokkaebi.

Whispers of confusion echoed through the four corners of the café. Some find it strange, and others find it cute and took their phones. But only you knows the true nature lying behind that fur.

"Boss [Y/N], did you secretly plan a cosplay event?" Your co-worker whispered, who was just working behind you a moment ago. You never gave her the answer. You looked upon the creature that currently smiling, his eyes showing disgust while looking down at the crowd like they were insects crawling on the ground.

Knowing what will happen in nearing moment, you couldn't help but shiver at that thought.

And this feeling only became heavier when this dokkaebi's voice rang on your ears.

"Hello, testing, testing! Ehem, Good evening, people of the Seoul Dome! How's the Earth so far? You guys are so lucky to live freely! Must be nice here, no?"

He smiled, terrifyingly, something that wouldn't leave you alone even in your dreams. "Heh, but not anymore!"

"What is this? Is someone pranking us?"

"What was that strange thing talking about?"

"They were filming maybe?"

Bullshit, just shut your mouths.

You want to run away now. You want to hide in the darkest corner of this place that opposes your urge to fight. But you know that it would be just a hopeless attempt for this is your reality now. Not even a flick of those tiny fingers would let you breath in the surface once again.

"You weak, petty abominations having a great time with your modern trashes. Should have any use for these things." He scoffed. "Ugh. My precious time is being wasted."

"Dear constellations! Shall we start now?" You just noticed a plenty flickering spots around its horn. They were more constellations than the Bihyung had in the early chapters. Based on its numbers alone, this channel should be popular to the bloodthirsty constellations. Great.

Great.

You fisted the nearest thing around you as the Dokkaebi couldn't stop smiling even more devilishly.

"Yes? Well, I live for your orders."

When the people couldn't stop rumbling over one another, your name is running to Dokja's mind. I hope you are somewhere safe.

"Police, the police aren't answering! W-what, what should I..." Dokja's attention drifted to Yoo Sangah, her body was slightly shaking as panic is consuming her. Dokja placed his hands onto Yoo Sangah's shoulder.

"You have played games, don't you?"

"What..."

"Think of this situation as a game that the development team made. The world is being destroyed and only few people would survive."

"Game.."

"In every game, we start with simple guide and instructions. We just need to follow them, okay?"

Kim Dokja could only recall the description written on the novel. This situation felt so surreal that those words beyond the screen is being unfold in front of his very own eyes. As he knows the weight of that novel, Dokja's heart felt heavier and beat faster for your safety.

He couldn't imagine how you must lower yourself under the whims of those creatures in order to save your life.

But what must we do to survive in this new world? TWSA is just simply that cruel. And you must live in that cruelty now.

"Come on, everybody. Calm down. Start breathing clamly." Someone stood amongst the crowd. A sturdy man with short haircut, taller than average height.

"Have you all calmed down? Please pay attention to me for a moment. As we all known, in the natural emergency such as this, a small commotion may turn into big one. I will handle this sutuation."

"What, who are you?"

"I am a lieutenant serving army serving the 6502 unit."

"A soldier. He's from military..."

"I just received a message from my unit. Confirming the situation level we are in."

Even without joining the people to glance at the message, he already knows the what is it about. Dokja looked at the man whose identity was just confirmed.

Army Lieutenant Lee Hyunsung... or must he say, that [ Steel Sword ] of the Ways of Survival.

A howl of cries of the overwhelmed people come to Hyunsung, yet the man answered them with honesty.

If Kim Dokja remember the early scenarios of the story correctly, Hyunsung did not appear like how things turning out. It was after the First scenario and not during.

What the hell is going on?

Dokja glanced behind him. Why that man hasn't appeared yet?
