"Uhh..."
I feel very dizzy. What happened earlier? What about others? Why do I feel so heavy behind me and dark here? I should get up.
I woke up and I just noticed why my back was heavy. It was the broken walls that crushed me.
I woke up and I saw the scene of a destroyed train station with a burning train. Why is this happening?
And I just realized that Lee Hajoon was gone. As I remember, I hugged her. Where did she go?
"Lee Hajoon-ah! Where are you!? Is anyone here!?"
I shouted Lee Hajoon and others many times. But no one answered. I walked and looked for someone else. I feel pain in my back. Apparently my back is injured. Maybe because the train exploded earlier.
Suddenly, I heard a voice of boy crying. Where are is he?
"Where are you!?"
"Please help us!"
I heard the boy's voice calling for help. I looked for the boy and found him trapped inside the broken walls caused by the explosion earlier.
With all my might moved the broken walls that trapped the boy.
I succeeded and saw a boy with insects in containers and being hugged by a woman who seemed not to be breathing anymore.
"Please! help my mother!"
It looked like it was his mother but unfortunately, his mother had died as a result of being crushed by the broken walls.
"I'm sorry, boy. Your mother cannot be saved anymore. He had stopped breathing."
The boy cried over his mother's death. Think about it, what about my family? Are they safe? I can only pray that they are safe...
"What's your name boy?"
The crying boy answered, "I-I'm Taehyun, Park Taehyun."
"Let's get out of here, Taehyun."
"Yes, hyung..." while wiping his tears.
Erghh! What is this light!? This boy is really cute! With her golden hair... It's really fit his face! I'm sure he is foreigner.
We both walked out of train station. I am very surprised by the current situation in Seoul. The state of the nation's capital is in ruins.
Ting-! My phone rang. The notification Prime Minister is making a speech.
-Dear Korean citizens, Unknown terrorists are active in large numbers in areas, including Seoul.
The contest of the speech were simple. The current government would mobilize all means and methods to fight the unknown terrorists, and there would never be any negotiations.
I was a bit shocked when hearing those words...
A terrorism... Yes, that words would be more comfortable.
Suddenly I heard a gunshot from my phone. Chiiiiik-! there was a loud sound, and blood filled the screen.
The prime minister had died. His head had exploded in real-time. I heard more gunfire before the phone screen went silent. The next thing appeared on the screen was a small creature.
"What in the world..."
[with two small canines at the mouth and face lion-like, the strange and cute creature was floating in the air on the screen.]
[It was too strange to call it lion, too evil to call it an angel, and too cute to call it a demon.]
[Thus, it was called a Haechi.]
Suddenly that Haechi speak.
[こんにちは,みんな!]
[¡Hola a todos!]
"What is this? Japanese and Spanish?"
I see many people in the comments in chaos.
⟨what the hell is that!?⟩
⟨The prime minister... Dead? Please tell me this is just a joke!⟩
⟨The world has doomed...⟩
The comments in chaos and many people in fear. Why this happened?
[Hello? Do you guys understand me? I had a hard time to translate because this world language have a lot.]
A familiar language. Did he say 'world language'? Does this mean that not only South Korea is in this situation but the whole world too?
[Okay everyone! I will tell you something very important!]
People who comment are also confused by the situation.
⟨ Who are you!?⟩
⟨why the Haechi in here? A cartoon?⟩
⟨The end of world is near.⟩
I feel uneasy about this.
[This isn't a dream. It isn't the 'reality' that you know.]
I know this was real. The Haechi had appeared in front of my screen kill the prime minister, and the Seoul was destroyed...
[I don't care if you are a hunchbacked old man or a pregnant woman. You all have been lives nice so far. Isn't that right? You have been living too long for free. Isn't life too generous?]
Free? No one in this world lived for free. The people strived to make money in order to survive, and And they are willing to buy a vehicle to make his life a little easier. Yet at this moment, no one in the comments disputed Haechi's words.
[But now a good days are over. How long can you continue living for free? If you want to enjoy happiness, it is common sense to pay a price. Isn't that right?]
The comments went silent in this moment. Is it because they scared? Well, this now is a reality.
[And I will tell you, even if you give me a money I will never accept. Now I have tell you, if you do this, I will blow away you head.]
The reality that has been mixed with fiction, and the leader of their beloved country is dead.
[Phew, the debt is piling up. Well, yes. Rather than explain it a hundred times, isn't it quicker for you to make money yourself?]
Tick-! it felt like time has stopped. Then I hear a voice.
[The system 9912 has been terminated.]
[The system 8274 has been opened.]
A small window emerged in front of my blank eyes including Taehyun.
"What is this hyung?"
And the comments too.
⟨What is this, a game? Do you guys same as me?⟩
⟨me too! This is really like a game!⟩
⟨oh my god, the world became a game.⟩
It seems everyone gets a message from this small window.
[You will be teleported to the designated location.]
[Then, good luck everyone. We see how you are going to survive.]
Suddenly My vision turned pitch black and I couldn't feel Taehyun's hand anymore. Where did he teleport to?
[You have been teleported to the 2807th train.]
In the train, I saw many people around me.
"Where am I?"
"What is this place, a train!?"
"Huh? Where is mum?"
What will happen in this train?
