A/N: Not me multitasking and doing this while in my classes-
"I'm not going to help you this time. Your problem, not mine." Lee Jihye shrugged as she walked off.
"I don't need your help." Kim Dokja grinned.
"Do we get 2000 coins if we kill you now?" Jung Heewon grinned, though it wasn't filling with malicious intent.
"Why, do you want to?"
"As if. I'd consider if it was 20000 coins."
"Get behind me, Hyeong." Lee Hyunsung narrowed his eyes as he raised his shield.
"How many times more do you think you could use that skill from before?" Two times.
"Two times at most." He replied as a few more Incarnations came to the level. Lee Gilyoung flinched as he tensed up. "Relax, we're not going to be the ones that they'll be fighting." Kim Dokja patted his shoulder.
Technically, he is correct. Due to all the [Green Zones] being destroyed, the main scenario would be changed in difficulty with the remaining scenario duration in mind. It should be right about...now.
[The current scenario has been renewed.]
[Main Scenario 3 - Emergency Defense]
[Category: Main]
[DIfficulty: B-]
[Clear Conditions: All [Green Zone] in the station have been destroyed, spawning the remaining monsters all at once. Survive the onslaught of monsters for the remaining duration.]
[Duration: 8 hours]
[Reward: 1000 coins]
[Penalty for Failure: Death]
Damn, if Yoo Joonghyuk was here and not in the Theatre Dungeon slaughtering his way through the movies, he would have earned much experience from this. Almost instantly after the monsters spawned, Incarnations began to get eaten and thrown around, a bloody carnage. Screams of panic and terror surrounded everyone as Kim Dokja and friends ran towards the stairs. Pulling out [Unbreakable Faith], he slammed the sword into the ground, separating the staircase from the platform below, making them technically safe from all the monsters. They talked but I couldn't hear everything over the Constellations messages and the screams and cries of terror. While the other Incarnations were finding for other ways to escape, Lee Hyunsung smashed the other staircase to pieces, destroying other escape.
As I watched the other Incarnations fight, I noticed one fighting with such forcefulness. A man with a dull sword swung it around, though a bit haphazardly. Why though, why was he so angry? It was as if he wanted to annihilate the world if he had the power...Why? Why does it remind me so much of...myself?
[Fable 'Backstabber' prods at you, reminding you that it exists.]
Right...that [Fable] still exists much to my...annoyance, I guess. I can't feel annoyed at a [Fable], because I was the one who made it out of...sadness? Reluctance? Willingly? I do recall doing something similar like that Incarnation after that [Fable], with training dummies...
The relentless assault on the training dummies became a reflection of my inner struggle, the sword a channel for my complex feelings. Every move was precise, every strike was powerful, the physical exertion becoming a temporary catharsis for the emotional turmoil that threatened to consume me. Each swing, each lunge, brought with it a brief moment of clarity, allowing me to forget, if only for a few moments, the pain of the scenarios, everything and most importantly...them, their feelings, their pain, their faces, everything about them. Each powerful blow, each controlled movement, was a testament to my strength and perseverance of my formidable and unwavering swordsmanship.
"You're swordsmanship is impressive."
The instant my training was interrupted, I reacted with lightning speed. Spinning around, I found myself facing the person and in a swift motion, raising my sword to their neck, the blade mere inches from their skin. I suppose the glare in my eyes was intense and menacing, considering how ■■■ ■■■■ reacted.
"What's making you so agitated, hm? What is making you completely deleting the poor training dummies? You can talk to me." He patted my shoulder as he began to pick up what was left of the straw dummies. His long flowing white robe trailed after him, pristine clean and white as ever. The intricate details he had meticulously sowed on, motifs and patters bearing flowers, gems, leaves, trees never seemed to get dirty too, though they were always being dragged on the floor, considering how this outfit was a few times larger than his size. Simply, I just stood there, watching him, the sword in my hand clattering onto the ground with a thud. I was soaked to the skin after my rigorous training, my hair a mess of sweat, dirt and a bit of straw. For a moment, it was just a simple and calm silence until I broke it with a question.

[Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' cheers.]
[Constellation 'Dog who Threw Himself into The Flames' enjoys the fire and destruction.]
...What?
"Hey Gong Pildu! Are you just going to stand there like an idiot?" Kim Dokja shouted, "Don't you wanna live? With your power you could save everyone!"
Wait...what? I was just remembering...
Why you son of a gun..." The landlord gritted his teeth.
...Wait...who was he?
"Pildu!" "Help us Pildu!" "I'll pay you Pildu!" "Save us Pildu!" The nearby Incarnations began to beg and plead and cried, soon overwhelming the poor man.
...I don't remember.
"The third scenario isn't that hard to clear. If we all give up the rooms, the scenario will spawn a number of monsters we can handle. Pildu, if you fight alongside everyone else, we can all survive." Kim Dokja smiled.
...I don't remember.
[Constellation 'God of Naval Warfare' nods in acknowledgement.]
I don't remember.
"Damn it...everyone! Gather around!" Incarnations flocked to Gong Pildu like moth's to a flame as they fought the beasts while the [Militarised Zone] was setting up. When it finally was, it sprung to life, the turrets annihilating the entities.

"Let's sit back and enjoy the show."
I'm confused.
"Are we getting some personal time?"
[Fable 'Lonely World' says to forget.]
"What a relief, I needed to catch up on some sleep."
I can't forget who he is.
"A-Are you sure it's alright?"
[Fable 'Lonely World' says he isn't important.]
"You should feel lucky you're with me."
He is important.
"Then what about them?"
[Fable 'Backstabber' says if he really is important, then you'd remember how he looks like.]
"I guess they weren't so lucky."
He looks...wait..
"AARGHHH Damn it!"
