Since She was going to get thrown in another surviving feature, An Jiaxin knew what she needed the most right now.
So she acted accordingly as she took a leave of absence for three days and went to the hunting ground and started to get lessons.
Her stan included all the basic courses and additional courses, from, doing chores driving to shooting.
The others who saw how vigorously An Jiaxin was working out, they almost thought that she was preparing for a war or something.
But An Jiaxin didn't pay them any mind as she just did her job, quitely and sturdily.
It was that time An Jiaxin stopped training when she saw there was only one hour remaining for her, so she stopped and walked back to her dorm.
After taking a shower, eating and dressing, An Jiaxin was ready to enter the game five minutes before, that's when she took a look at the notification center to see a chat conversation filled out with messages from players.
After the first mission, the chat was activated but An Jiaxin ignored the notification, that's why she only saw it now.
[Khan : Seems like the first mission was completely empty. Now everyone gets prepared for the second mission.
IamAbloodySoul: I don't know what's what anymore… I barely managed to come back, I don't want to go again!
A##h0l3 : This f*cking server! I didn't even know such a game existed!
Bl##d6h3ll : You know right? I didn't play the game before, and suddenly got dragged here. Can someone tell me what's going on?
Immaseduce11theg03 : We don't understand either. What can we say to you?
Khan : This time, maybe it's gonna be some game with an apocalypse theme or whatever. Gosh, I'm worried about my future…
A##h0l3 : F*ck you man! Don't curse it!
Tlf23a : Am I the only one who doesn't know what's going on?
…]
Seems like there has been new players added to fill the ground for those who died at the first level.
Anyway, An Jiaxin wasn't very happy about it either. Because the more players there would be, the more fierce the competition between them.
But it was also something for her to be concerned about, cause she didn't know what was coming next.
It was true that the players who died back in the game also died in real ife, she knew it after watching the sudden increase of traffic accident and suicide case.
'These cases definitely had something to do with that game!'
If it really was something like an apocalypse, then An Jiaxin was prepared for that one now.
What's to come will eventually come, she has to face reality.

[Welcome back, Player!]

"No…"
"I can't walk any longer..." the girl said as she kneeled down on the ground, taking deep breaths.
The three guys stopped walking as they turned back to see her like this, a guy with red hairs sighed deeply.
"...Myra."
"I can't." she refused strongly as she lowered her head, the gray hairs fell in front as she dropped her head.
"Just stay strong for a bit more. We only have a bit left until we get out of here." the red haired guy grabbed her arm as he said impatiently.
"… It's too much for me too. I wanna rest here."
"Who cares about whether we can find the door to the outside, we have been searching for it straight for ten days already!" the teenager with blue hair and yellow eyes shouted as he plopped down on the ground as he closed his eyes and began to rest.
"..."
"Even Kilian?"
The guy with a slight dark skin and in priest's clothing only gave him a tired smile as he sat with the book that he carried in his arms.
"..."
"...We'll rest for 10 minutes then start the walk again." he sighed as he sat down as well and closed his eyes.
There was an eerie silence shortly after, which made them feel even worse.
'We're in too deep; but I can't make them lose their spirit.' he thought as he sighed again.
The girl hid her face in her knees as she opened her mouth, "Are we… going to… die here?"
"Don't say nonsense! Why are we going to die here?" the red head shouted at the girl on top of his lung as he declared.
But this made the teenager feel irritated as he snapped back at him, "But there isn't anything left to eat! Nor any of us knows the way back! How do you think we are going to get out of here?"
"If we are lucky enough, then we might meet someone from a supply or support unit." the red hair said while looking away, because he wasn't sure about this idea himself.
"As for now, this is—"
"Don't joke."
"We shouldn't have entered this damn labyrinth in the first place! You know very well this is impossible with our current strength!" He was now furious beyond words.
"Sylus!" Liam, the red head also got mad as he stood up with his sword.
"Um…" Myra didn't know what to say as she tried to calm them down.
"This stupid cave, why doesn't it just collapse!" Sylus screamed in anger.
Suddenly, Myra turned around as she said, "Guys… a weird sound is coming from that direction."
She pointed at the location in front of them as all of them stood up.
"... What is this?"
A faint black spot started to get big in the wall before them as it slowly started to get bigger, turning into a portal.
"Step back, everyone. I'll deal with whatever comes from inside!" Liam pointed the sword at the portal as he stood far from the portal, sword pointed at the portal to attack.
But the most surprising thing was…
Instead of some monster, a young star dressed in strange dresses fell to the ground with a loud thump.
"Wha…"
"They aren't monsters, but humans."
