In the end, the survivors of the carriage were 6 people. The man who commented about suicide and the blond woman who tagged along with him. The soldier, the man who tried using money to bribe the dokkaebi, and the boy who graciously gave me a bug. Somehow, he's currently stuck to my hip. Despite only helping him stand back on his feet after mourning his dead mother, he looks towards me with a look of admiration. I simply... saw myself in him. I did get gifted some coins for that, though.

The Han River was dyed red outside, filled with the blood of soldiers and the attempts to drive these monsters away.

The survivors sighed in relief as a blue screen appeared.

[Main Scenario #1 – Proof of Value has ended.]

[300 coins have been acquired as a basic clearance reward.]

But that relief didn't last too long. As they realised the corruption of the world, they realised the horror truly starts from now.

The train stopped halfway at Dongho Bridge, and several survivors stood up and looked at the scene taking place outside. The ruined Seoul and collapsed buildings. Monsters reminiscent of a large serpent were eating the wreckage of a fighter jet that had crashed into the Han River.

"What the hell..."

One of those serpents looked this way.

"Uwaak! It's coming this way!"

I patted the boy's hair who believed the man's ramblings. I believe we'd be safe for now. If this was all for entertainment, then surely, the 'dokkaebi' would be a streamer, and he wouldn't let his content die so soon.

[Compensation settlement is delayed due to an unexpected scenario check. Please wait.]

Hmm. This must have been because of that man... I looked over to the person in question to only have him looking back at me. He flinched and turned away, like a deer who was in the spotlight. Did I look scary?

[Wow. What happened here while I was watching other carriages?]

There was a mix of surprise and delight on his face. There were a few twinkling stars on his head, too.

[For 21 people to be connected to my channel... Haha, isn't this quite good? Gosh, thank you for your sponsorship. Constellations. Haha, everyone! Did you properly show off your value?]

I see. It must mean the number of people watching his stream.

[The number of survivors is quite high? The guy in the next carriage was a nutter as well. It seems that things are quite interesting today.]

The dokkaebi seemed to be doing something in the air before a list of survivors came up.

[Survivors from the 3434 Train to Bulgwang, Carriage 3807: Kim Dokja, Kim Sunja, Lee Hyunsung, Yoo Sangah, Han Myungoh and Lee Gilyoung. A total of six survivors.]

"W-will you release us now? Didn't you get what you wanted?" The man in the black striped suit asked while trembling.

[Hmm? Release you? Do you really want to go out there?] The dokkaebi chuckled. [It is somehow admirable. In fact, I didn't expect much from this carriage but you managed to pass the first scenario. This proves that bugs deserve to survive.]

His words came off as mocking, but his tone described nothing of the sort. It could almost be factual.

[Now now, shouldn't there be a reward for overcoming the hardships? As a reward for the first scenario, you are entitled to the sponsorship of the 'constellations.' Woah! How about it? Aren't you looking forward to it? Hmm, you are all unenthusiastic. This is really a big deal.]
