People reacted differently after the dokkaebi disappeared. Some people tried to get out of the train while others called the police. I just stare at them while thinking about my next move.

Is there something I can use to protect myself. Do I really need to kill these people? I'm not in the same cabin as the main cast. They are all going to die anyways.

*clang!*

A metal sound ringing at the right side of the cabin. Someone has decided to finish the scenario.


After hearing the metal sound, all the passengers look at the man who's holding the metal rod. Who knows where he got that?

The man clenched the rod hard and swing it aimlessly. The people beside him begin to distance themselves.

"What the hell are you thinking!" One of the ladies voiced out.

"Survive obviously! Don't you see the penalty of that thing appeared just now?" The man said.

"Do you really believe that thing? That could be just a mere prank for entertainment videos!"

"Isn't that impossible with the technology we have right now?" Someone in school uniform said.

They look at each other. The man with the rod then swing the rod he had and beat some people with it. Some people also begin to fight each other to survive.

Seeing people attacking one another, our protagonist couldn't stop thinking about her safety.

"They not gonna make it."

She looks at the owner of the voice. Her little brother stand up with a scissor on his hand and stab people who tried to attack him.

While distracted, something comes fly towards her head. Luckily, she managed to dodge. She grabs the thing, and turns out it's a screwdriver.

"How lucky..."

More and more people start to kill eachother. One aiming for the kids and one aiming for the elders. What a common thing you will find in an apocalypse world. Everyone fighting for their own survival. But the question is, does anyone in this cabin survive in the original story?

"Seijin, my son, take this pen and stab it on mommy's chest. Quick!"

"No, mum... Don't leave me!"

A kid trembling while holding a pen hesitant by his mom demand.

"*Cough* What are you.. argh"

A sounds of someone getting choked.

"Honey! Why are you doing this? Don't you love me! Why are you trying to kill me!?"

Everything happened because of this scenario.

With a screwdriver on her hand, Our protagonist holds it tightly and aims it on a man who currently tries to kill himself. It's better than killing people who want to live, right?

Fortunately she noticed the man on the corner of her eyes. She can't let this opportunity gone to waste. It's for her own survival.

As she push the screwdriver to the man's abdomen, the man hiss at the pain he receives. He then grabbed her hand and pushed the screwdriver deeper on his chest.

"Please make it quick, I hate to feel pain," he coughs some blood before he shuts his eyes.

"I don't like to suffer," was his last word.

[You have achieved the 'First Kill' achievement!]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]

"Ah,"

The first kill achievement alarmed everyone. They all look at the culprit and distance themselves. After that, another person managed to kill another.

"We got coins after killing someone. These coins must be useful in the future!" He laughed maniacally.

Something isn't right about this guy.

"If I were to kill all of you in this cabin, wouldn't I be rich?" The guy smirked.

With that, he aims his pocket knife to people that surround him. As for our protagonist little brother, he already achieved his first kill.

The mad man didn't stop attacking the passenger. Our protagonist, who's standing not far from that man, looks for something that could distract the guy. Her eyes won't stop searching for something.

This guy could be a threat in the future so why not eliminate him while there's a chance?

Her eyes now focused on a certain spot. A place where they usually stuff the fire extinguisher.

She moves herself to the spot and grabs the fire extinguisher. She then pull the pin and aimed it on the man to distract him. The cabin is now full of white powder.

The man covers his vision while coughing. Without thinking twice, she immediately took the fire extinguisher and smacked his head. The fire extinguisher is quite heavy for her but that doesn't stop her to hit the man continuously.

The man could barely move due to his injury. He is now lying on the floor with his damaged head. To make sure he is no longer breathing, she hit the man one more time on the head.

[The given time has run out.]

[Paid settlement will begin.]

It's already end. The only people survive is only me and my brother.

[You have killed 3 living things]

[Kill history: 3 Humans]

[300 coins have been acquired!]

'I don't remember killing another person. Is there someone who still alive among the corpse on the floor? I feel sorry for stepping on them.'

Kkiiik.

There was a lurching feeling, and the train started to move again. It made the familiar train noise.

Soon, light flooded in, and darkness was lifted from the windows. We had arrived at the surface ground section of Line 3 between Apgujeong and Oksu.

Outside the window, the Han River and Seoul were revealed.

It's no longer a place I knew.

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

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

[100 coins have been reduced for the channel usage fee.]

[Additional compensation settlement will begin.]
