Test. . .

Test. . .

Water drops fell to the ground as I held my breath, surely this area had previously been exposed to rain because the water from the roof and the slightly wet soil became strong evidence, even the air was somewhat moist and cold.

Today is not my lucky day.

I was now hiding in the gap of the alley and trying to leave the voice as low as possible. Fortunately, I have skills that are suitable in this situation.

[Light Steps of Thousand Feathers skill Lv.3 on]

Peering carefully, not far from me, there was a praying mantis measuring four to five meters eating a human body, that human head could be devoured once a bribe, he said, the sound of creaking bone chews and bright red blood coming out like saliva was extremely disgusting. It's really a picture like a horror movie.

Even after seeing the killer on the train, seeing this scene, my stomach churned uneasily, the only positive thing that came from this picture might be that I lost my appetite.

Half of the food I ate today I vomited, of course the worms in my stomach thrashed with hunger, but seeing this disgusting thing could tame these worms longer.

It can hold my hunger for longer.

With my stats, I should have been able to fight against this grasshopper, but the main problem was that the grasshoppers formed groups!

One, two, three, four,  . . .  Twenty-six.

Twenty-six grasshoppers, ten of them smaller than the others, but his shiny scythe could cut flesh like a knife into tofu.

Groups of locusts searched the cars on the road one by one, breaking the windshield of the car and its windows with their sickles and removing the headless bodies belonging to the people.

They were the ones who failed to get through the first scenario and had their heads blown out.

The area around me close to the highway, the lined cars that stopped at the traffic lights became the toy of the locusts. I can't count how many died in the car and became their meal.

Actually it was quite sad to see this scene.

Seeing your fellow compatriots and the water demon have died without respect is definitely not a good thing, but I can't do anything either.

My first priority is to survive, not to be a hero on doomsday.

But I'll remember this sight. Because that's all I can do.

My hands were tracing the wall of the alley as I went inside, because I couldn't get out openly if I didn't want to be caught by the locusts, I could only find another way.

My plan was to get into the alley, and hope there was another way out.

I'm grateful that this alley is not completely dark, the sunlight still streaming through the cracks makes my eyes not completely blind.

There was no sound other than water droplets even the sound of my footsteps was not heard due to the activation of my skills. I wonder why there are no constellation messages, weren't they still crowded before?

I don't know how my footsteps were when I finally stopped, in front of me, there were two paths, one straight and one to the right.

I choose the right one that is more convincing, if I keep going straight, I will go deeper into this alley, and I do not want to have the possibility of getting lost.

As my feet stepped again, my eyes suddenly felt exposed to light, I immediately retreated just in case.

I sharpened my eyes as I vaguely saw the reflection of light from the front, more precisely on the straight path. I approached curiously, and it turned out to be coming from a shop. From the looks of it, it was a clothing store.

As for that light, it came from the glass near the counter that reflected the light outside the store. The source of the light came from a hole in the roof of the store that was propping up.

On the roof of the shop, a hole large enough as if it had been hit by a very heavy item appeared in my field of vision, there were cracks running in all directions around the hole.

I was suddenly worried whether this building would collapse in the next second.

Like other shops that have been hit by the apocalypse, here is also a mess, torn and splattered clothes, glass that has traces of blood, a collapsed roof, and many more.

But I also started to suspect, what makes a hole that big? Or why would a clothing store exist in an alleyway like this? Wouldn't it be much better to sell outside?

Okay.

I'm paranoid again.

[Star Race ‘The Nine Tail’ views sailor girl uniform with interest.]

[Star Race ‘The Nine Tail’ says this uniform suits you.]

Sailor uniform?

There it is, it is on the counter table and next to the pot of ornamental flower plants that are strangely still intact.

I looked at the sailor uniform with doubt.

In retrospect, my body was indeed dirty from the body, clothes and of course . . .

Smell garbage.

Maybe this is the reason why the locusts didn't come to me that should have smelled of blood, because it smelled covered in garbage.

I don't know if I should be happy or not because of this.

Here's the story until getting a beige shirt from Secretive Plotter's advice.

Cream-coloured. The color is not very noticeable, and it should not be easy to look dirty.

[You receive a gift from your sponsor.]

[Do you want to see your sponsor's gift?]

[Yes | No]

I stared at the floating message screen.

Then I chose yes.

I saw two items that appeared. The ring is silver in color with elongated fine lines and intertwined with each other, overall the design is nice. And others . . .

[Star Rate ‘Supreme Holy And Darkness’ says do you like it]

I naturally nodded my head, these items cannot be wasted.

[Star Race ‘The World Serpent’ asks curiously why should choker instead of necklace]

[Star Race ‘Supreme Holy And Darkness’ replied that men are better suited to the choker]

Uh.

I don't know what my sponsor's expression would be if I knew I was actually just pretending.

I held the two items in my hand as I picked up the nearest short black pants.

If the reader asks why not use this item immediately, the answer is . . .

I need a shower.

Stepping over the trail of the collapsed roof carefully, I intend to search the bathroom in the back. There should be a bathroom for the staff, right?

But my luck seems to be wavering again.

(“When I left you for a while but it's been like this, how does a promising incarnation like you have such bad luck?”)

Dokkaebi appeared in the air as she read the contents of the scenario with wide eyes.

I didn't have time to hear dokkaebi's chatter as my eyes were fixed on the pot of plants shaking violently.

As if something was trying to break away, the pot shifted and met the edge of the counter table, very naturally it fell to the ground.

[A number of constellations have just begun to join the channel starting to name their names]

[Star Race ‘Guardian of the Velebit Mountains’ smile greet you and all the constellations]

[Star Rate ‘Calamity Of The Fastened’ staring at the constellation ‘The World Serpent’]

[Star Race ‘The World Serpent’ takes out its snake tongue]

[Star Race ‘Secretive Plotter’ says you should be safe]

[Star Race ‘Mother Of Humanity’ frowned slightly for unknown reasons]

[The Star Race ‘The Nine Tail’ looks back and greets the new constellations with gusto]

Uh.

I've guessed.

It's a day without luck on my part.

[Star Race ‘Supreme Holy And Darkness’ says you can take this as a test of mental endurance and cheer for you]

^^^010 | 𝗣𝗢𝗛𝗢𝗡 𝗞𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗧 (1)^^^

𝗣𝗢𝗩 𝗚𝗼 𝗘𝘂𝗻𝘆𝗲𝗼𝗻

I know that my luck is not good, but isn't this too much?

Pain after being thrown is not a joke, I did not open my mouth once so that the iron liquid in my throat did not come out, I rose from the ruins I made when I was thrown.

Fucking monsters.

“Gwekk. . . Gkkrr . .”

[The power of the sacred tree has weakened due to waking up earlier]

Heck, his own strength has weakened but I still can't hurt him.

The monster was now towering in my view, now it was a terrifying eight meters tall, if I stood by its side, then it would be like a cat beside a tiger.

Small and pathetic. I hate this.

I don't know what plant he is, though, but her tendrils can whine and bend as if they were boneless (they don't exist) There's a big eyeball in the middle of her body like a floodlight at night and I'm almost trapped by an illusion if not because my skills block it.

Don't look him in the eye if you're not trapped in a world of illusions.

Under his enormous eyeball, there was something like a mouth, the length of the mouth was so wide that it felt like it was circling all over his face, every opened his mouth, it was a terrifying sight.

There are roots underneath like worms and wriggling to help him walk. The tendrils strangely had countless sharp mouths and teeth along the way, they were like intestines.

My left hand I can't use, it's been sprained. My knife can hurt him, but the mosnter has too many hands and won't let me get close to him, I'll be overwhelmed by attacks from all directions.

Only my right hand could use even though it hurt me every move, I hissed as I eyed how one of the tendrils managed to bite my hand. I can only hope that the plant does not carry poison.

I couldn't stop the flow of blood leaking and sliding from between the fingers of my left hand.

Test. . .

Be ill.

I couldn't determine the time if it wasn't for the timer floating in the sky, according to my calculations, it should have been almost three days now and I couldn't have killed him yet.

The most annoying thing is when the right time shows 12 exactly, whether it's day or night, the monster's strength continues to double every thirty minutes.

And now I can barely get close to him, not even five meters away!

Test. . .

I'm really frustrated.

A monster this strong should not have appeared at the beginning, my luck was really bad until it was able to meet a scenario that had not been tested.

This monster is too strong or maybe because I am too weak?

I mocked myself.

Slurr! Bamm!

I immediately lowered my head as the tendrils were about to hit my head and hit the wall that had become a ruin behind me, they became even more crushed.

I ran to the left again.

[Light Steps of Thousand Feathers Lv. 5 active]

During this time, it is appropriate

I'm grateful, the skills I use are leveling up a lot.

Along with my run, 'Bam! Bam! Bam!' the hard one kept hitting the wall I was passing through. The monster must be now lazy to move and only use its tendrils.

I'm underestimated. I was angry, but I didn't have the strength to fight it.

I'm tired, I haven't slept at all since running the scenario.

I'm hungry, I haven't filled my stomach, I haven't even drunk a drop of water!

I lack weapons, I only carry one ordinary knife, what can I do with this?

Me, me, me . . .

. . . hate my own weakness.

Slurr!

All the tendrils were now chasing me from behind, I expertly escaped through the crack of the ruins of the shop roof as if I had been through this many times (indeed)

Bamm! Krack! Bamm! Krack!

Even without looking, I could feel the monsters beating up parts of the ruins, there were also some tendrils that managed to get into the rubble gap due to their smaller size.

[Light Steps of Thousand Feathers Lv. 5 has stopped being active because you are too tired]

Damnit.

My entire body cells screamed and told me to rest, my body couldn't last much longer before fainting, but how could I stop with the death gate above my head!?

I was surprised that I was still able to survive until now hungry and without sleep.

Sssaaaa. . .

“Aackk!?”

I could not help but scream and spill blood in my mouth, I fell down when one of the tendrils managed to stick his mouth into my ankle. That's very painful. It was as if countless needles were piercing through my blood and flesh, even felt all the way to the bone.

Crass.

Not minding my feet that kept trembling, I slashed the tendril into two pieces through my knife.

“Kiewkkee . .”

I could hear the monster screech, the mouth on the furthest leg but I could clearly see the rest of my blood on each of its pointed teeth.

The tendrils connected to the monster's body released disgusting green blood and continued to sway in the air and spread its blood everywhere.

I have to run.

But it's too late.

“!!??”

One tendril that made it into the ruins did not bite me but wrapped around my stomach like a python, and took me out of the rubble. I used a knife to cut it but my hand had been intercepted by another tendril coming.

My body pose was now the letter 'Y' and surprisingly, I was not directly fed by the monster tendrils but was carried flying towards the main body of the monster.

Am I going to die? Looks like.

How sad it would be if you died like this Go Eunyeon.

My body was lifted up and right before the monster's eyes, but I lowered my head so as not to see his eyes that could give an illusion.

“Kieewwk . . . Wehk . . . Kieecw.”

Perhaps looking at my desperate self, the monster started throwing nonsense. I have the skill of translating monster language, but I have no intention of using it because I know that monster must be laughing or mocking me.

[Star Race ‘The Nine Tail’ takes a tissue and shouts that you can't die now]

[Star Race ‘The World Serpent’ uses its tail instead of tissue]

[Star Race ‘Mother Of Humanity’ awkwardly delivers a tissue box to the constellation ‘Guardian of the Velebit Mountains’ and ‘Golden Fire Wings’]

[Star Rate ‘Calamity Of The Fastened’ gazes at the constellation ‘The World Serpent’ with condescending]

[Star Race ‘Golden Fire Wings’ says she doesn't need a tissue because her tears have evaporated by themselves]

[Star Race ‘King Of Heroes’ wiggles his wine glass with interest]

[Star Race ‘Sertetive Plotter’ makes eye contact with the constellation ‘Supreme Holy And Darkness’]

[Star Race ‘Sun Monarch’ shook his head to the dramatic constellations]

[Star Race ‘Mother Of Humanity’ says this is a young child's heartbreak]

[A number of constellations are heartbroken and shedding tears for you]

[A number of constellations that deceive you are happy with the coming of your death]

“A-m-although this is only for a moment, thanks for worrying me, I am happy to meet the constellation like you guys .” I said that in a very sincere tone that could not be more sincere.

[Star Race ‘The Nine Tail’ cries out loudly and says it will take revenge for you]

[A number of constellations interrupted by the cries of the constellation ‘The Nine Tail’ that overcame the cries of babies]

[The constellation sponsors you 9700 coins]

The monster raised me higher as its head began to face towards the sky, its mouth wide open just below my feet.

The timer in the sky shows the countdown [03.05]

There were three hours left before the scenario ended.

[Some constellations hold their breath]

The time is near.

The tendrils released me and my body freely fell down.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Kim Dokja is not sure how long it has been in Ichthyosaurus' stomach, there is no clear time and his phone is dead.

He rose from his sleep as he felt the lake water enter his mouth. He was always woken up by this water and helped as a reminder to immediately save himself.

Holding the pig thorn tightly in his hand, Kim Dokja was ready for what would happen next.

(“You can still survive this long.”)

Bihyung appeared on the ceiling as he looked at one of the most promising incarnations on his channel.

Looking at Kim Dokja, he could not help but sigh as he eyed the other incarnations that also survived. Kim Dokja's condition is slightly better when compared to Go Eunyeon who is constantly chased relentlessly by monsters without rest.

At first, Bihyung thought that this incarnation could help him take his channel to a higher level because of the many constellations that were attracted to him.

But look at the situation now. . .

Bihyung wouldn't be surprised if Go Eunyeon died in this scenario.

After all, even though the power of the sacred tree had been greatly suppressed since it had not yet fully formed, it was still mosnter on another level that should not have appeared at the beginning of the scenario.

(“Well, you're pretty lucky compared to him, it would be too disappointing if you ended up like he”)

Due to the turbulence of the water currents, Kim Dokja could not hear the dokkaebi's voice clearly, only faintly.

Holding tightly against the thorns, Kim Dokja looked up at dokkaebi who was staring at the screen of his own duct. Even though Kim Dokja can't see it, she knows that she must be watching Go Eunyeon.

Kim Dokja suddenly felt happy as she laughed in a life-threatening situation.

[Stars Race ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is for a time confused by your emotional changes]

[Star Race ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ says out loud you must be bipolar]

[Star Race ‘Sertetive Plotter’ grunts for unknown reasons]

[Star Race ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ says there is exciting entertainment next door]

[Star Race ‘Demon-like Judge Of Fire’ nibbles his lips]

Ignoring messages from the constellations, Kim Dokja is immersed in his own world.

Who is Go Eunyeon?

He is a man who has gone through hell with his own feet.

Funny if he stops here.

Although Kim Dokja did not know what was happening specifically, she could guess in outline, she was a bit hopeful of watching what Bihyung saw.

Ha.  . .

Forget it, he could later see it later with the help of astral link, Kim Dokja could wait for it.

Kim Dokja can't wait for their next meeting.

He was waiting for it. . .
