"What?" She said
"Yeah, you could kill a bug or a lizard instead."
I hinted at the suggestion to kill her lizard, then she looked at the lizard, then back at me with a hateful look.
" I don't know what you're suggesting but I'm not gonna kill this lizard. I would rather die than kill this lizard." She said
"I see, but there's a way for neither of you to die."
I pull out the cockroach that I caught, and her eyes widen.
" Did you know that cockroaches that cockroaches can lay up to 48 eggs per egg case?"
~Meanwhile~
Minjoo and everyone is watching Junghwa talk to the woman, wondering what they're talking about. But then they all receive a pop-up window message.
-[Notice: There has been a slight miscalculation, you will receive the rest of the rewards shortly]-
"Miscalculation? What does that mean?" asks Soonhyeok
" pshh! I don know." said Minjoo
-[Cockroach eggs are also considered living creatures]-
-[ You have killed 49 living creatures]-
-[ You will receive half the rewards because the creatures couldn't defend themselves]-
-[ 7,350 Coins have been received]-
"Whaat?! 7,350?! Eggs?! You mean those cockroaches we're pregnant?!"
Everyone got the same messages, they were amazed and confused.
" I heard that cockroaches can lay up to 48 eggs per egg case. But i didn't know they were pregnant right now." Said Shinhui
"Wow! How lucky is that?!-"
"AAAHHHHH!!!"
But before Minjoo could say anything else, the rest if the passengers who were fighting each other, start screaming as their heads start exploding. The sight of the passengers dying was too much for the group and they all started throwing up.
Minjoo wondered to herself how Junghwa is doing, so she looks back at Junghwa's direction and her eyes widen, "What the fuuck?!!"
-[Time left: 0:00]-
~10 seconds earlier~
"Where did you get that?" Asked the woman
" I found it. So how about it? Wanna join my team? You don't have to kill that lizard if you do."
The woman look down at the lizard for a couple seconds and thought about it, then she looked back up at me with a dissatisfied look, " Okay, I'll join your team."
I looked down at her, smiled, and gave her the cockroach. She then crushed the cockroach.
-[You have killed 49 living creatures]-
-[ You will only receive half if the rewards due to the creature's inability to defend itself]-
-[You have received 7,350 Coins]-
The woman sighed in relief. I get down on one knee, "See? You can trust me-"
"AAAHHHHH!!!"
-[Time left: 0:00]-
Our conversation was interrupted by the screams of the people whose heads were exploding. The woman was about to look at them, but I hug her to turn her head away from the people dying and I cover her ears, so she can't hear the people screaming. She was surprised by my sudden hug, but immediately understood what I'm trying to do, she looked down and started crying. I looked at the people who were crying and screaming in pain, and I didn't feel anything, maybe it's because I already died 3 times or maybe this situation has made me crazy.
After a few seconds, everyone else was already dead. The woman looked up at me and then she hugged me tightly, "Thank you, I don't want to die."
I smile at her, "You're welco-"
"What the fuuck?!!" screamed Minjoo looking surprised and Shinhui looked surprised too.
The woman quickly separated herself from me and apologized to Minjoo, " I'M SORRY!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO HUG YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
Everyone looks at Minjoo with their mouths open.
"What?! He's not my boyfriend!" Said Minjoo
"Really? I thought you had that reaction because you got jealous." Said the woman with a curious expression.
"J-jealous?! I'm not jealous! I'm just worried for my best friend because a stranger is hugging him." Says Minjoo, and Shinhui nods,
"O-okay" said the woman.
"Guys, calm down she was just thanking me for saving her life"
I explained to them what i did for the woman,
" And her name is- Wait, what's your name again?"
I can't believe I helped and saved her without knowing her name.
" My name is Jina, nice to meet you."
Minjoo looks at her distrustfully up and down and decides,
" Alright, I don't really trust you so you're going to have to prove yourself to me in order for me to acknowledge you and to gain my trust."
In response, Jina looks at Minjoo up and down with an annoyed expression, then she looks at me, and back at Minjoo with a smile. She then hugged me and said, " I don't need your acknowledgement nor your trust, I only need his."
Everyone was shocked, " Listen here you-!" Minjoo was interrupted by Shinhui shouting,
" Stop that! You don't even know him, so you don't have the right to hug him!!"
Shinhui then runs to me and hugs my arm, then Shinhui and Jina start having a Tug-of-War with my arms.
"Let go of him already!" Yelled Shinhui
"No, you let go!" Yelled Jina
What is this situation? There's multiple dead bodies around us and these girls are fighting over who gets to hug me? I'm starting to get annoyed. Should I just push both of them off? No, then I'll lose both their trust. Shouldn't the angel be back by now?
Suddenly, almost as if he read my mind, the angel appeared. Shinhui and Jina stop playing Tug-of-war and both hug me out of fear.
[ Hey! Hey! Hey! No fighting until the next Game! I see all you found a loophole in the Game. I'll forgive you this time since the gods are being entertained by your actions. And this is gonna be great entertainment for the gods in one of the next games. Now then, time for a mini game.]
The angel then snaps his fingers and a pop-up window appears in front of us.

So this moment is finally here, let's see what Gods want to Sponsor me. But before that, I need some space.
" U-um, sorry but could you both let me go? It's getting hard to breath!"
Shinhui realized what she was doing and quickly let go of me and moved away from me, " S-SORRY!" said Shinhui.
" I'll let go for a kiss on the cheek!" Said Jina, causing everyone to look in our direction. I don't know why she likes me so much, but I gotta draw some boundaries.
" How about I pet your head? " I really hope this works.
"Hmmm, okay!" Said Jina while smiling, so I pet her head and she let's go and looks away while blushing.
" Alright, now let's see what I got."
-[ Choose a Sponsor:
Wall Breaker
God of Wind and Sea
God of Thunder
Goddess of Good Order
#1 God of The Underworld]-
"Whoa, there's so many options, but why is the Goddess of Good Order interested in me?"
The Goddess of Good Order is one of The Horae, in the novel, she didn't really get along with Minjae because he kept messing with the Natural Order, but the fact that she's interested in me is suspicious. The #1 God of The Underworld is also interested in me, so is The God of Thunder, and The God of Wind and Sea?!
I look up and let out a loud,
"Mmm!!"
Everyone is looking at me with curious looks. I move closer to the front to hide my excitement.
"Hmm? Who this?"
Wall Breaker? Who's that? I've never heard of him in the novel, but it doesn't matter. Even though I could get very strong, very fast with any of these Gods, I know what to do.
I was about to click on the exit button, but then Minjoo slaps the back of my head, causing me to move my hand down and click on Wall Breaker.
"You womanizer! How dare play with the feelings of 2 women?!" Said Minjoo
I slowly turn my head, and look at her with an annoyed expression, " Do you know what you just did?" I asked angrily
"What are you talking about?!"
"You just made me choose the wrong-!!"
Before Junghwa could finish his sentence, he faints. His companions rush over to help him, but it's useless, he's having a vision.
-[The 1st Wall has activated]-
Junghwa wakes up in a dark and empty place, Junghwa looks around and wonders " Where am I? And who's saying that?"
Then Junghwa looks up and makes a horrified expression because he's seeing hundreds of eyes looking down at him.
"Whoa, that's crazy!"
"Seriously?!"
"This is cool!"
" Is this really happening?"
And more voices talked, but Junghwa didn't know what was happening.
"What are all these voices? What's going on?!!" Yells Junghwa
