Kangho relished every morsel of the T-Rex meat, savoring the flavor with a mix of emotions. The taste was bittersweet, as the defeat against Gaseo lingered, overshadowing even the satisfaction of the meal.
Once he had his fill, Kangho wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stood up, stretching his limbs.
'Fucking Gaseo!! Just you wait! I'll definitely kill you one day!!'
Even now, Kangho can't shake off thoughts of Gaseo; the idea of losing to someone he considers a loser infuriates him immensely.
KICK!!!
BAAAM!!!
In a fit of rage, Kangho vented his frustration by delivering a powerful kick to a nearby tree.
'Son of a bitch! First my friends betrayed me and now Gaseo too! Arghhh!!! This is pissing me off!!'
Grumpily, Kangho left the campsite.

…
Not long afterward, after a few hours of walking in the forest, Kangho arrived at a stunningly vast and lush green valley.
"Woah…" Kangho whispered to himself, his eyes widening as he beheld the expansive and picturesque valley that lay before him. The beauty of the lush, green landscape, bathed in the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the leaves, left him in awe.
Opening the hologram screen, Kangho checked to see how much time left before the 8th Tutorial ends.
[Quest Timer: 9 hours and 43 minutes remaining.]
'9 hours and 43 minutes left, huh? So that means the quest will end at around midnight 12 AM today.'
Suddenly, a group of four players emerged from nowhere, ambushing Kangho and quickly surrounding him.
"Kekeke! You think you can run away from us, Kangho!!"
"You're done for this time!! Hahaha!!!"
"Hehe! You're totally surrounded! There's no way you can run away from us this time! Hahaha!!"
These four players were Kangho's friends.
'These bastards! To think they're this persistent! How annoying!' Kangho thought.
Kangho chuckled, "R-Run away?! Seriously?! Why would I run away from trash like you guys? If anything, I think you guys should be the ones running from me if you value your lives."
During this time, Kangho's friends noticed Kangho's swollen face.
"Wait a minute! Yo, guys, look at his face! Hahaha!!"
"Oh, yeah! Now that you mention it, what's up with his face?! He look like a fucking clown! Bahaha!!!"
"Hahaha!! Yeah, what's up with his funny face? It looks like he got stung by bees or something."
'Gaseo, you bastard! It's all your fault for slapping me the whole night yesterday! Aaarghh!! Fuck you! Now even my friends are laughing at me!' Kangho thought.
Kangho couldn't help but blame Gaseo for everything.
"Bitch! All of you shut the fuck up!!! Stop laughing, you motherfuckers!!" Kangho was furious.
"The fucking clown face is mad!! Hahahaha!!!"
"Hey, Kangho! What happened to your face? Did someone beat you up or something?"
"Yeah, man! Let us know what happened? Though I bet you probably messed with the wrong person and got your ass kicked. Hahaha!!"
"Grrr!!! Son of a bitch!! Die!!" Kangho growled as he unsheathed his sword and began attacking his friends.
As Kangho swung his sword with a furious onslaught, his friends, taken aback, quickly scrambled to defend themselves.
"Whoa, whoa, Kangho! What the hell's gotten into you?!" one of his friends exclaimed, dodging a particularly aggressive strike.
Kangho's eyes burned with anger as he continued his assault. "You think this is funny?! Laugh at me again, and I'll make sure you guys regret it!"
At first, Kangho's friends were merely defending and dodging his attacks. However, the moment Kangho threatened them, saying they would regret it, his friends became infuriated and now sought to take Kangho down.
"Make us regret?! What a joke!"
"Kill him! Kill this motherfucker now!"
"Fuck you, Kangho! Die, you bitch!!"
And with that, the fight between Kangho and his friends started.
…
…
…
Roughly an hour and fifteen minutes later…
Kangho won the fight and successfully killed his four friends.
Lying down on the ground while looking up at the beautiful blue sky, Kangho began laughing. It was a laugh of relief that everything was over and he could finally take a rest.
"Woohoo!! I won!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!! Bahahahahahahaha!!!"
'Motherfuckers! Did you guys really think that you could beat me?! Fucking trash! Fuck y'all! Hahaha!'
After laughing for a good thirty to forty-five seconds, Kangho finally calmed down. He then got up and went to his dead friends' bodies and activated his 'Blood Suck' skill. Just like that, he sucked and drank their blood.
BLOOD SUCK!

"Aaaaaahhh!! Delicioussss!!!"
'Aaahhh, that feels so good! I feel so much stronger now. Keke! This is going to be fun. If I can continue to kill more players and drink their blood, I think I can catch up to Gaseo in no time.'
'Alright… wait.. why do I feel like I'm forgetting something? Hmm… let me think… Ah! I remember now! Cha Yejin, you bitch! You're next!'
All this time, Kangho had always been giving Yejin special treatment simply because he loved her. However, this time, he no longer loves her, instead he hates her with passion now. With this, he planned to sexually violate her and depending on his mood, he might kill her after and drink her blood.
"Alright… let's see how much time I have left…"
A hologram screen appeared in front of Kangho as he checked the Quest Timer.
[Quest Timer: 7 hours and 14 minutes remaining.]
'7 hours and 14 minutes left, huh? Hmm… do I have enough time to find Yejin? Or should I just do it another time?'
After giving some thought, Kangho decided not to rush things and planned to do it another time.
'Well, there's no rush, I'll take things slowly and plan carefully...'
In order for Kangho to grow stronger faster, he has to kill a lot of players and drink their blood. In short, Kangho has to learn how to be a professional serial killer, as he needs to kill as many people as he can without getting caught by the public.
'Keke! Just you wait Yejin and Gaseo, you guys will definitely regret one day for making me your enemy!'
