2 Episode 1-System Introduction (1)

I was done with the first scenario. I packed up everything I needed into a backpack, such as nail clippers, clothes, and my smartphone. I saw the wooden stick that I used as a weapon tucked into the corner of my house, and grabbed that as well.

[Some Constellations are impressed with Incarnation "Ethan Nakamura" and their diligence!]

The Constellations were watching me. Sadly, I knew what Constellations were. I only had thirty minutes to prepare for the scenario - unless someone pissed off the dokkaibi - and made them come back. My mother was moving around, but she was still in shell-shock. She looked as if she was about to become angry, but I couldn't deal with that right now.

I grabbed a dark jacket from a pile of clean clothes, and wrapped it around myself. I wore dark pants, and some old sneakers. I placed my backpack onto my back, while placing a black cloth-mask onto my face. I checked if I had all of my equipment. Once I did, I was satisfied.

[Constellations are impressed with your speed and your efficiency!]

Once that was done, I ran out of the house. I saw other people emerging as well, but a lot of them were covered in blood. A lot of them were looking around the area, as if they came from hell. I couldn't blame them. I looked to see if my friends were alive... but... I didn't see them. I looked around to see if there was anyone I could see that was familiar but –

"Hello everyone," Dokkaibi Herald said, "I am the manager of this scenario." People screamed and covered their heads, as if they were about to die in an instant. I stood calmly and looked at everyone as if they were pathetic. I turned around to look at my mother, but she was also afraid.

"There will be a sub-scenario," Dokkaibi Herald said, "this is a running scenario."

[A sub-scenario has been opened!]

[Sub-scenario – Run to the school!]

[Time limit: ???]

[Reward: 300 coins]

[Clear Conditions: Run to nearby schools to seek safety. Any Incarnation that doesn't will be killed by the incoming disasters.]

[Difficulty: E]

[Failure: Death]

I looked at the scenario carefully. I made sure to read it clearly, as if it was a contract.

HHOOOWWLLLLL!!!!!

Sadly, wolves will be coming. Quite literally. "Wha!!" "Hell…"

I counted that there was 30 survivors in my presence. Some of them were covered in blood, probably by killing their own family members. Everyone was about to run and -

"Wait!!" I shouted. "Everyone, please stop! Those are wolf howls! You need to use coins to invest in stats!!"

People looked at me as if I was a disabled person. When explaining something to someone, you need to use clear and concise words.

"I know everyone is in shock, so you must be worried!!" I raised my voice loud enough for everyone. "You need to use your stats and ---" Some people began to ran. Some people began to curse out in anger, and use profanity and slurs. People looked at me as if I was crazy, but that wasn't the case. I tried again. "Everyone, please use coins to invest in-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"

A loud woman of African American descent began to charge at me at 3.5 mph. There was a look of rage on her face. My mother was 30 centimeters behind me, so I couldn't dodge. There was only one way to clear this scenario.

[You have invested coins into stats!]

[You have invested 270 coins into Stamina Lv.3!]

[You have invested 270 coins into Agility Lv.4!]

With this new power, I dodged the woman's crazy attacks and jumped high in the air. Everyone looked at me as if I was circus freak, but they had right to do so: I went 10 feet into the air. And crashed onto the woman that charged against me. My body crushed her pathetic head, until blood bursted forth. Her skull was shattered, and her eyeballs were crushed like a fruit. Everyone was looking at me as if I was a monster.

(You goddamn hypocrites. You are monsters as well if you survived the first main scenario,) I thought.

I made a decision. I must kill everyone here. I reached a hand into my pocket, and pulled out my knife. With my wooden stick in my left hand, I glared at everyone. This was going to end in one or two ways.

"HOOWWWLL!!!"

The wolves were drawing nearer.

My hands were forced. Literally. I began massacring the people that were present, and moved with a fluid speed. I kicked men in the balls, kicked women in the face, and did it until I was satisfied. I did it until I was alone, with only my mother. There were no kids for this sub-scenario. They all died in the first one.

I rushed to my mom and pressed my index finger against hers. I began investing coins into her account, and began to run. As I did, I shouted this: "MOM!! Invest your coins into your stats!!!" Whether my mother survived or not - it was up to her. For now, I must clear the scenario.

***

I began to kill random Incarnations when I saw them. I needed their coins. I stabbed and smashed their heads and bodies, until they were bloody on the hard ground. I didn't want to do this, but I needed to.

[A member of the Nebula "Black Cloud" is impressed with your awesomeness.]

[A Constellation named "Chancellor of Anti-Semitism" is pleased with the scenario.]

[You have been given 500 coins for your brutality!]

[Brutal Betrayer of Stabs has entered the chat!]

With all of the coins and donations, I was able to earn 5,670 coins. I was still worried for my mother, though. I looked back and saw her running as fast as she could, with some people behind her. I didn't move though. A wolf shot out from behind a house and began to bite the humans in my mother's group.

[Your private attribute has activated!]

[Fragment of the 4th Wall is suppressing your shock!]

The wolves began to catch some of the running humans. They snarled and began to rip humans apart as they crashed into cars like crazed cattle. The wolves were the size of a Ram truck.

[A Constellation of an apocalypse likes the scenario!!]

My mother came near me, and ran past. She began to yell my name, but I ignored her.

[You have invested 510 coins into Stamina!]

[Stamina has been upgraded into Lv. 7]

[You have invested 510 coins into Agility!]

[Agility has been upgraded into Lv. 6!]

With new speed, I began to attack the wolves. They snarled at me as if I was a pest, but I evaded them as if I was. Using the wooden stick in my left hand, I began to attack the wolves that were chasing me.

[Moorim Masters are impressed!]

[Constellation "Prisoner of the Golden Headband" sends this:)]

[A certain dragon that uses their left hand is impressed!]

[Coins have been sponsored: 500 coins!!]

I ignored the Constellations. I began to fight the wolves, and used my speed and strength to kill them. I knocked out their fangs, jumped onto their backs and dodged their bite attacks. It was a shame though: they were only babies in this early scenario. Once one of them ripped open over my leg and blood gushed out, when I felt like I would die and–

[Your rare attribute "Anger Lord" has activated!]

(The hell is this..??) I thought to myself. I used a mental command to look at the information. With a silent voice that I used, my private attribute came up.

[Anger Lord (Rare): This attribute allows the user to use anger and adrenaline to overcome their pain! It overstimulates the amygdala with aggressive feelings and thoughts that motivates them to kill! The user will become enraged and murderous! Do not use in high-stress situations!]

(What.... The hell is this?)

[Constellations are warning you to evade all of the attacks!!]

[An Archangel is at the edge of their seat!!]

With these new warnings, I began to run towards the nearest school that I knew. A little middle school called Minnow, at the edge of my neighborhood. I could only hope that other people were there.

With all the energy that I had, I began to sprint faster and faster. My shoes ripped through grass, stomped onto cars and treaded onto houses. I leaped like a parkour master, but the wolves were still following me. They tried to climb onto the houses, but the houses themselves were weak and the wolves collapsed through them. Thanks to this advantage, I was able to see Minnow Middle School. I practically flew until I was there.

[A safe-zone draws near!]

[Enter the safe-zone to clear the sub-scenario.]

"will I make it…?" I said aloud…. Between breaths..

***

Yu Junghyeok was trying to clear the damn scenario, but some guy ruined their plans. This guy named Kim -- "GAh!!! Lee Jihye, run!!!" "Master!!!" "Do it!!!" I will not [Regress] again….

***

My eye was splitting open. Yu Junghyeok was trying to save someone again.

"Stupid…."

I needed someone strong for the later scenarios. That's what the future told me….

[The Norns are staring at Incarnation "Anna Croft".]

[The Norns are satisfied that they have given the power to see fate to Incarnation "Anna Croft".]

[The Nebula "Aesir" are satisfied with Incarnation "Anna Croft".]

Or else America will be destroyed.

***

I was back in reality. Sadly, I was falling face-first into the ground.

"Damn it."
