[4 days later]
Yu Junghyoek and Kim Namwoon are alone in the subway, hunting ground rats.
Yu Junghyoek : "The last two flew behing the scenario barrier."
Kim Namwoon : "Too bad, we needed their loot... Anyway, how much did we paid yesterday for the bathroom use ?"
Yu Junghyoek : "300 coins just for a water refill."
Kim Namwoon : "Those Landlords are a joke ! They must have a ton of coins thought."
Yu Junghyoek : "Indeed, and since it was Seyna Kim who went in the bathroom, she scaned everyone and found their leader."
Kim Namwoon : "Who knew a reporter could be useful in the apocalypse ?"
Yu Junghyoek : "The name is Pildu Kong, he's just a 'Landlord' like the others. It seems they all have a special skill able to weaken people since she received a system message upon the instant she walked in."
Kim Namwoon : "Landlords... I guess they have a field skill."
[Some constellations are listening to your discussion]
[A few constellations are bored and ask for real action]
Yu Junghyoek : "Moreover he didnt turn his skill off since we arrived so I guess it doesn't cost any mana."
Kim Namwoon : "That's unfair ! I have mana issues and I even use my own lifespan to use my skills and he just uses his own skill for free !"
Yu Junghyoek : "Well, the system sure his unfair but everything as a weakness. If it doesn't cost him anything, then there is something else."
Kim Namwoon : "What if he gets out of his territory ?"
Yu Junghyoek : "That is what I want to try."
They get back to Chungmuro station, Lee Hyunsung and Seyna Kim are not in the Green Zone anymore, an other group took it.
Lee Hyunsung : "You two are back ! We did as you said Junghyoek, we didn't take any risk and let them take the Green Zone."
Yu Junghyoek : "It's okay Hyunsung, I am planning on taking the bathroom Zone."
Lee Hyunsung : "You mean you want to attack those Landlords who threaten everyone and prevent anyone from using the bathroom ?"
Yu Junghyoek : "Yes, if we take their Green Zone we will let anyone come for free and use it full capacity."
Lee Hyunsung : "That would be wonderful, incoming people wouldn''t have to fight for a Green Zone ! I wanna help !"
~This guy sure lose one arm but he still has the most brute force here.~ Yu Junghyoek thinks.
They take some time to build up a strategy and take the escalator to the second floor.
Seyna Kim uses her [
~Children murdered or women abused, in this new world where everyone had to kill at least once, compassion is rare. Out of everything we could have say, the fear of loosing their Green Zones might be the best way to trigger their fight spirit.~ Seyna Kim thinks.
A few minutes later, the crowd is loud and angry. A large man, dressed in a suit and a beret tries to shut them down but unlike Cheon Inho from Geumho Station, he didn't have social skills, even before the apocalypse.
[A lot of constellations are hoping for some entertainment]
Seyna Kim : "This is him, this is Kong Pildu."
Kong Pildu : "Get back you heathen !"
He summons two holographic gun turret on the zone.
~What !? Does it shoot bullets ?~ Yu Junghyoek asks himself, surprised.
Suddenly the Green Zone turns red and Kim Namwoon's Ghost mode turns off as he steps on the zone.
Kong Pildu turns to him : "No one can sneak on my property."
The turrets begin rotating before Kim Namwoon eyes and shoot a storm of bullet. He tries to jump back but his body is pierced with multiple holes.
[A lot of constellations are suprised]
[A few constellations are smiling]
Lee Hyunsung : "Namwoon !!"
He enters the red zone and punches a turret with his [
[Some constellations are amazed by this much strengh]
Every Landlords, exept for Kong Pildu, run at him with an iron bat, knife or sword.
Yu Junghyoek steps in to help Lee Hyunsung, however he senses a massive decrease of his power.
[You enter multiple
[The owner of each
[You are affected by the strongest
[Your Overall Stats are virtually reduced by 30%]
Some angry people enter too and get destroyed by the Landlords' hit.
~It's their property, they must get some boost while we get a debuffed, we can't win.~ Yu Junghyoek analyses.
He grabs Lee Hyunsung's collar and pulls him back.
Yu Junghyoek : "Retreat !"
Lee Hyunsung turns his head, Kim Namwoon is not here anymore.
A second gun turret appears and both of these begin shooting at the angry crowd while most people are fleeing.
A few minutes later, Lee Hyunsung and Yu Junghyoek reach the first floor and find Seyna Kim, carrying Kim Namwoon's body.
Her : "It's really bad."
Another guy is touching Kim Namwoon with a luminous hand.
Him : "I am only able to stops the bleeding but what about the bullets ?"
Yu Junghyoek : "I believe since those are holographic bullets, they should disappear soon."
The unknown healer : "You.. You are right ! There are no more left !"
Ten minutes later, Kim Namwoon is out of danger.
Healer : "In the previous society, he would have recovered in a few month but in this world, he either dies of the blood loss or recovers within a few days."
Lee Hyunsung, deeply thankful : "Thank you so much sir !"
Healer : "Sir ? I am only 33 years old, call me Hwang Bori."
Yu Junghyoek : "How much ?"
Lee Hyunsung : "What are you talking..."
Hwang Bori : "300 please."
Yu Junghyoek : "You know Hyunsung, in this new world there is one thing that didn't change : nothing is free."
[You gave 300 coins to the incarnation Hwang Bori]
Seyna Kim : "How strange, Namwoon already has a tatoo ? He look like a teenager."
Hwang Bori : "No, I believe... It is his constellation mark. It appears whenever you obtain a stigma and grows the more you use it."
Lee Hyunsung, taking off his shirt : "I have one too"
~Namwoon has a small dragon and Hyunsung a little anvil... Now that I think about it, I don't even know their constellation's name even though they helped us back in the Illusory Prison.~ Yu Junghyoek realizes.
A few hours later, as Lee Hyunsung and Hwang Bori left, only Yu Junghyoek and Seyna Kim are watching over Kim Namwoon.
Seyna Kim : "Do you have a plan ?"
Yu Junghyoek : "We can't take them down, not in this scenario where they can stay hidden in their property."
Seyna Kim : "So you want to take back the five-people-sized Green Zone by yourself ?"
Lee Hyunsung comes back : "I am sorry Yu Junghyoek, you were right. While trying to help everyone, a companion of mine almost died... Sometimes, I should be realistic and choose an easier and safier option."
Yu Junghyoek : "You don't have to.."
Lee Hyunsung : "I will help get our Green Zone back !"
