Before anyone could actually react, Kim Namwoon moved his palm through the air and...
Slap. Slap
It didn't take long for that slap to turn into punches...
(Y/N) with her feet frozen to the ground could only stand there and watch. Kim Namwoon continued beating up that grandmother. The sound of punches and slaps reverberated in the air, (Y/N) 'S feet were frozen at the ground. Many men hesitated just like her whether it was from fear or shock or the mere absurdity of the current situation.
After some time a man was the first to act, it was the same person who had stupidly offered money to the Dokkaebi. "young man, for you to be treating an elder like this..."
"Mister, do you want to die?" Kim Namwoon replies with scorn laced in his tone.
"...What?"
"You still don't understand this situation?"
"What bullshit is this brat saying?"
Kim Namwoon only laughed at the cursing man. He pointed at the holographic scene playing. It was the live video of people dying not just the subway, the classroom, or the orphanage, It was the same scenario all over korea or worse the whole world.
"Someone has to die within five minutes, or we all die."
"..what are you..."
"of course, you are all thinking , oh what kind of a person would kill his own people to live, but can you blame me? Are you really going to die because you want to stick to your morals and be that righteous, lawful person till your last breath?, go on."
"Th-That..."
"The world you have known so far had already ended."
That was the point at which the society which had been standing for over thousands of years came crumbling down. Kim Namwoon had put that wedge. He had put the final piece. All it took the people joining in for the decay to start.
"A new world requires new laws. Don't you think? Also, it is hard to kill, are you all going to keep watching? Do you want to fall behind?"
People's expression was changing, all wanting to survive, to live, and in order to do that, they were inclined to kill for survival. One man tries to grab gilyoung, (Y/N) just in time pull him out of the way and kicking the man away, sending him flying a few feet.
"Stay away." she said sternly, glaring at the man.
The man didn't bulge, she thought maybe the man was about to try again, but he turn around rushed towards Kim Namwoon and kicked the grandmother who laid curled up on the subway floor.
" Yes... this bastard is right, if we don't do this, we all die. "The second, third, people watching cowardly, students filming with their phones, all launched at the grandmother and started throwing kicks and punches.
"Die! Die!"
She had always been an observer a shadow, hesitant to act up, not even in dire situations would she had haver imagined herself standing up for something. yet strangely this time she felt a need to do so.
(Y/N) took a step forward, only to be held by Gil young.
"No, noona, you will be killed."(Y/N) clenched her palm.
"Right." She couldn't just leave Gil young like this. She still needs to think of something,
.... a way of clearing the scenario... because for that we would have to kill a person. A person? It wasn't specified in the first place.
[Kill one or more living things.]
"Gil young we need-"
Kwang! Boom! An explosion filled the air as the train shook, smoke rose from the front right side of the carriage. (Y/N) lurched sideways and quickly protected Gil young's head with her arms as they both fell on the subway floor. She felt a dull throb as she fell on her shoulder.
We can simply kill some insects as they are living things too.
She reached for Gilyoung for his box."...can I?" she asked. He nodded and handed her his insect box at the same instance, the office man approached them.
"Excuse me, can I?" he asks. (Y/N) would have absolutely refused, yet she felt that he could trust the man for some reason. at the same time though, she sensed the man to be dangerous.
Nodding, she takes out two of the grasshoppers and handling the rest to the man.
The man smiles a knowing smile before turning his attention the crowd.
"Everybody stop! Let's say you kill the grandmother. But what's next? Sure that would be the first murder, but in order to survive, we all have to kill a being each. So what will you do next? Will you kill the person next to you?" He says.
"Isn't that obvious, then we will kill you next." Kim Namwoon replies.
The office man dismisses Kim Namwoon with a wave of his hand.
(Y/N) speaks up. "There is no need to gamble like that, there is a way to survive, without becoming a killer."
"...What?"
"How? what is it?"
People grew agitated as the timer ticks on and Kim Namwoon's expression becomes distorted.
She continues. " The scenario clear conditions were never 'kill a person'"
The office man continues as (Y/N) hands Gilyoung a grasshopper.
"That's right. From the beginning the contents specified to kill one or more living things. And humans are not the only living things."
"Smash it with me, okay?" (Y/N) explains to Gilyoung.
A quick witted man understands after seeing the insect net in the office man's hands an shouts. "insects! insects!"
"would you like it?" the office man smiled and waved the net in the air provoking the people even more.
"Smash it now!"(Y/N) says and smashes the grasshopper in her palm as Gilyoung did the same.
[You have achieved the 'First Kill' achievement. You have killed an organism.]
[100 hundred coins have been earned as an additional compensation.]
"Then keep it!" the office man provoked, smashing the bug in his palm as well, simultaneously throwing the net with the rest of the insects away from the crowd. The insects were released into the carriage flying for their freedom.
The carriage was in pure chaos as the panicked people chased after the insects desperately. (Y/N) pulled back gilyoung behind her and move to a corner away from the chaos. At the corner of her eyes, she could see the office man and Kim Namwoon in an argument, it was too loud to make out anything though.
glancing ahead at the glass window of the subway train, she caught a glimpse of her own reflection, but rather than seeing her own face, she found two She blinked a couple of times in hopes of erasing the image and turned to the office man who seemed to be fighting now.]
she pulled Gilyoung and her to a corner, watching the whole crowd dispersing in panic trying to find the grasshoppers.
it wasn't more than 5 seconds, when people's head started exploding, spraying blood everywhere. She swiftly turned away from the scene, the headless bodies making her stomach churn, yet she felt nothing apart from that. and she hated how calm she was.
{Main scenario #1- proof of value has ended]
[...]
the train lurched forward; she glanced out of the window expecting to see the Han River Bridges, the Seoul city, yet none of it was there, instead the whole place was painted in red accents. Blood....
She had a faint idea that the world won't be the same anymore.
