The excruciating blow had made the frail boy forcibly grimace with the narrow energy he still clenched on.

Kim Dokja hated pain.

Students around the vicinity were in shock and started to gather around but far from the bloody mess. Teachers came rushing down the stairs and Students had already called 119. (emergency medical help number in Sourh Korea.) Kim Dokja could hear ringing in his ear but the noise was muffled for him to figure out who was talking and what was going on.

Blood trickled on Kim Dokja's forehead, his vision was blurred, and cold sweat dripped on Kim Dokja's neck and forehead. His uniform was dirty, covered in his blood and debris from the ground.

The sky was blue, a beautiful day to look at. The sun beamed on his face making him feel a warm sensation, one he hadn't felt for a long time. He felt peaceful, even if that peace would only last temporarily. Kim Dokja looked up at the sky. He gently shut his eyes waiting for his body to give up permanently.

They stood still for a while and looked from above through the classroom's window. You could hear the noisy commotions of students chattering about what they had just witnessed. The ambulance had already arrived and brought kid Dokja to the hospital safely.

「 The constellation Demon-like judge of evil is taken back and is bawling her eyes out. 」

「 The constellation Abyssal Flame Dragon is surprised at Kim Dokja's traumatic past. 」

「 The constellations Father of Rich Night and Queen of the Darkest Springs are furious! 」

「 The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband is infuriated! 」

Shin Yoosung's legs gave up on her and she fell onto the cold ground and started crying, she cried like a human could cry in a lifetime.

Lee Jihye froze before apprehending what had happened. Her body shook and she fell back, tears ran down her face. That sly Ajusshi whom they always relied on whether it was for an upcoming scenario or someone they needed emotionally. He was always a mysterious person.

Lee Gilyoung clenched his shirt and attempted to hold back his tears but his eyes had already started overflowing with tears.

Jung Hewoon cried angrily and out of instinct, held onto Lee Hyunsung's wrist tightly.

Lee Hyungsung clenched Jung Hewoon's hand back for comfort, he cried non-stop, tears flowing down his face.

Seolhwa was worried that Kim Dokja was going to die. She was a doctor, and seeing Kim Dokja hurt her heart. The fall impact must've damaged his fragile body, but this was him in the past, he survived. Though, that still didn't change the fact that she had watery eyes.

While Han Sooyoung had red eyes and a few tears fell down her cheek, resisting from breaking down like those idiots.

Yoo Sangah sympathized with Younger Kim Dokja's feelings she grimaced at the bloody scene and sighed. Kim Dokja's past was inevitable and everything they saw could not be changed.

Kim-Com had seen the gruesome scene. They knew this could occur. Yet, they couldn't confront the truth when the scene unfolded right in front of their eyes.

Kim Dokja is very selfless with self-sacrificial tendencies and would give up his life so easily at the flick of his thumb that Kim-com could finish the scenario without anyone dying. In almost every scenario his plans were him dying. This time was different, it wasn't a scenario. He committed suicide to be freed from the fucked up world. He thought his existence was useless as everyone he knew (except his mom) wanted him gone.

Those unpleasant thoughts tormented him every day. Their silence spoke louder than words. The kids thought of Kim Dokja's face although his face was distorted and blurry for them.

When he watched the small teenage boy bleeding profusely from his upper body and head. The tremendous blood loss made his skin so pale it looked like snow. The eyes with long lashes looked dead as he rested his worn-out eyes that had dark circles. The siren rang in his ears when the ambulance finally came. Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes showed sorrow hidden with anger. Han Sooyoung felt his hostility, she was also pressed not at Yoo Joonghyuk, but at these bastards. She snickered at the thought of those fuckers who probably died during the scenarios.

She suddenly took a lemon-flavored lollipop from her pocket and unwrapped the paper. The sour-flavored lemon taste melted in her mouth. She gazed at the sky through the classroom window and recalled a memory from the sub-scenario "survival activities."

She and Kim Dokja fought a tier 6 humanoid demon, a werewolf, and a renouncer named "Minu Song" who read chapter 173 of Twsa. Kim Dokja had said, "He traumatized me a little when we were younger."

Bullshit. Why were you so fucking wimpy then?

She was spacing out until she felt an intimidating dangerous aura emitting from Yoo Joonghyuk when she noticed Yoo Joonghyuk unsheathing his blade.

Han Sooyoung used Midday Tryst, "What the fuck are you doing??

"Testing out something. None of your business."

'This bastard. I will fucking punch you in the face after this hidden scenario.' Until Han Sooyoung realized what Yoo Joonghyuk was going to do.

"You bastard! Why are you creating such unnecessary risk? Do you realize the ugly squid and we can get hurt? and it will be all your fault if something bad happens?!"

Yoo Joonghyuk scrunched his eyebrow and narrowed his eyes. He finally looked up as he shot a glare at Han Sooyoung. He considered her words and hesitated, he held the hilt of the sky-breaking sword and once again stopped himself.

"You need to stop getting in the fucking way." Yoo Joonghyuk warned coldly.

Han Sooyoung scoffed and silently sneered at that punk, he was the 3rd strongest incarnation but he was very easy to fool with words alone, especially if you mentioned Kim Dokja-ssi.

She wondered what Kim Dokja would think if he was awake, she glanced at Kim Dokja who was on Yoo Joonghyuk's back, and gently smiled.

Yoo Joonghyuk was silent for a moment and thought of Kim Dokja's signature sly smirk, the signature smirk he used to tease him or to persuade him. Yoo Joonghyuk felt uneasy, he warily tightened his grip on Kim Dokja.

'This man is making me worry. He's been asleep for too long...' Kdj is dreaming about being in Lala land where he sees a unicorn pooping rainbow butterflies

He used to loathe Kim Dokja a lot, when they first encountered he had already strangled him and dropped him into a monster's mouth. Now, they were life and death companions and he couldn't live without him. Even Yoo Mia noticed he felt happy talking about him.

The fourth wall which has been silent for a long time said:

「I 'm go ing to sh ow y ou som e th ing, I'm w ar ning you t he n ext mem ory m ay lea ve y ou sh ocked.」

"You think we haven't been shocked enough already..? Give us a break damn.."

「 Memory is loading . . . 」
