The Brightest Star in a Ruined World

Chapter 18: Just A Character
[☆]

[You have succeeded in being the first to hunt the 7th grade species 'Tyrannosaurus Rex'!]

[You have obtained 1, 000 coins as compensation.]

"AH... we really got it."

"I knew we could do it." Jung Heewon exhaled heavily as she spoke, a proud expression was displayed on her face.

Right. She should be proud. The T-Rex was top-ranked among the 7th grade monsters, and yet she and her companions managed to slay it in just a short time.

Oh, well. All five of them ganged up on the poor reptile, killing it without a hitch as they effectively coordinated their attacks with one another with the use of their own skills:

Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye attacked the creature's rear, using a combination of 'Sword Training', 'Kendo', and 'Demon Slayer'. Lee Gilyoung also helped by summoning the Titano, commanding it to stab the T-Rex's eyes to disrupt its vision, which successfully rendered its movements to become slower. Meanwhile, Kim Dokja continuously stabbed the creature's thick skin with the help of his 'Unbroken Faith' that was in flames, and Park Hanbyeol finished it all incredibly by lopping off the T-Rex's massive head using her 'Vorpal Sword'.

Apparently, a handful of constellations were delighted by the unscripted "bloody" ending. Particularly, that one constellation from a certain nebula, and she even generously rewarded everyone with a handsome amount of coins.

[The constellation 'Bloody Red Queen' has sponsored you 500 coins.]

"But, was a Tyrannosaurus Rex got killed in this movie?" Jung Heewon then asked when she suddenly recalled what really transpired in the movie.

"No, but isn't this more fun?" Kim Dokja retorted with a playful smirk upon his lips.

"...Huh?"

"He's right. The genre of this movie is mostly fiction with lots of action and adventure. This should be alright." Park Hanbyeol chimed in with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

At this moment, a system message flashed in everyone's heads.

[The theater owner is satisfied with the changed ending of the movie.]

"Told you so."

Feeling absurd by this, Jung Heewon screamed, "Eeh?!"

Indeed. The strategy of the 'Theatre Dungeon' wasn't to see the 'real ending'.

Otherwise, Yoo Jonghyuk wouldn't have been able to beat this dungeon. The most important thing to remember when you're inside the movie is to create the 'desired ending' according to the 'Theatre Master's' taste who is at the very core of this dungeon. Oh! And, please take note: The theatre owner is an extreme psychopath.

"Do you understand now? We just need to smash it."

Kim Dokja said to Jung Heewon. But then, his attention was immediately averted elsewhere when he caught sight of Park Hanbyeol carefully wiping the blood off her long sword with another new handkerchief that came out of nowhere.

'This woman, how many handkerchiefs does she have in her pocket?' Kim Dokja could not help but think to himself as he found the matter very ridiculous given their current situation.

[Now you can move to the next floor.]

[Go to the helipad on top of the research laboratory.]

Hearing the prompt, Kim Dokja sighed. "We will move in a little while. We have to get some rewards."
