10 Episode 3-Selective Slaughtering (1)

Many people accused Washington to be the serial killer state. Truthfully, I couldn't blame them. We had that crazy serial killer named Ted Bundy, who murdered several women after assaulting them. Then they had Zac Efron play him in some show. I didn't want to be like them but... I was surprised that I could kill Cinnamon so easily.

Anyways, I considered myself lucky. By using Lv.22 Strength and Stamina, I was able to ran far away from Mathew McFarland after I murdered his lackey. I successfully escaped.

I don't know how long I ran, but I ran until it was dark, and until the stars had risen. All the monsters avoided me, and I couldn't blame them. I needed to find something, so I couldn't deal with small fry.

[Ta ke a re st Eth an,] [Fragment of the 4th Wall] said.

"I can't take a rest," I said aloud. "I need to find something."

I looked to the sky, thinking that a Constellation may sponsor me. I didn't receive any donations though. Instead, I saw a message.

[Dokkaibi Herald has put the channel to sleep mode. All Constellations cannot send donations, and informercials shall play until Dokkaibi Herald has come back.]

This... I laughed out loud. It seems that the contract with Herald was finally paying off. It means that I could actually take a rest... but I didn't want to.

[Private Attribute "Twilight" is in effect.]

The stars were too beautiful to go to sleep. The smog from the drastic, scathing day finally cleared and I could see the night sky. I was honestly surprised. As a city kid, I never got to see the stars so clearly. I actually saw the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper and the Milky Way galaxy.

I imagined that I was seafarer of old, on a sea voyage to find another land for my kingdom. It was a sweet thought, but queens don't exist in this world.

(Not yet, at least,) I thought.

I continued to stare at the sky, but I actually some of the some of the stars fall.... No... those were meteorites. I began to frown. So... it already began. The disasters and guides of Seattle were already falling to Washington State. Oregon State should've been seeing this as well, and the disasters should be falling to Salem. Hawaii would have disasters falling towards Honolulu, while New York State would have disasters falling to Albany.

Japan would have disasters fall towards Tokyo and Kyoto Dome. South Korea would have the disasters falling to the Seoul dome.

I remembered when I was a little kid, and when I watched a Michael Bay film. It had an actor named Shia Lebeouf, who was in the first Transformers movie with Megan Fox... I remember seeing Optimus Prime, looking towards the stars, calling on his fellow Autobots, while Linkin Park's "What've I've Done" played in the background. I remembered what Optimus Prime said as he stared towards the sky:

"I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here. We are waiting."

Sadly, this wasn't a freaking movie. This was the apocalypse... and I was too afraid to face myself.

***

Yu Junghyeok was lying on the ground, while his head rested on the lap of Lee Jihye. A man with Unbreakable Faith stroked the hair of a young boy, and they say the meteorites fall towards Seoul. The 23 year-old-man stroked the hair of Lee Gilyoung as he held Unbreakable Faith.

I was back in my perspective.

[Fragment of the 4th Wall has activated!!]

[Wh at di d you see...?]

"I saw the Seoul scenarios. If my plan is correct, then everything should proceed smoothly. That man should acquire the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword, but he has to fight against the Tyrant King while dealing with the Prophets and Renouncers," I stated.

[It will be har d...]

(Indeed. I must delay the main scenarios as much as possible, so that I can sever the Absolute Throne from the Outer God.)

[Ye..p]

(When Dokkaebi Herald comes back, I'll be able to buy the Korean Communication skill for a few hundred coins, while buying the Japanese Communication skill.)

[ Ma ke su re to sa ve m oney...]

I chuckled out loud. Fragment of the 4th Wall felt like a little kid, telling me what to do... but I was still grateful. They were the only reason I was able to clear the scenarios. By suppressing my shock and giving me all those skills, I would be able to preserve the future as much as possible. I looked away from the sky. I rubbed my neck after craning it so much, and I decided to go to sleep. After running for hours, I was finally relieved to sleep some more. I was definitely far from Mathew McFarland.

I took off my dark rain jacket, took off my mask, and decided to fold my jacket as a pillow. I walked to a nearby house, and checked to see if anyone was inside. No one was there, so I was able to sleep well enough.

***

We were in the Colorado state. I saw Zelan Ali, killing multiple Incarnations. He wiped them out completely. He was quite impressive, but he was disappointing.

[Constellation "Moorim Master of Boxing" is a little disappointed in Incarnation "Zelan Ali".]

I could understand. In the story I read, Zelan Ali was a weak-minded character that was based off Muhamad Ali and Floyd "Money" Mayweather. In the setting, they were a domestic abuser that took many concubines in the Apocalypse, and would sell them off or use them... for activities.

He was an absolute disgrace. I didn't know why the author had to sully Muhamad Ali's name, but I knew what I would do when I finally saw Zelan Ali at Washington D.C. Dome: I would rip out their heart, and shove it down their throat. I would do it as they looked at me in fear, and as they cried hot tears.

[Constellation "Moorim Master of Boxing" is afraid...]

[They have sent the message: Who's there?]

(Shit,) I thought.

[Shit,] [Fragment of the 4th Wall] said.

[Ti me to leav th is dr ea m...]

I woke up. I heard a ruckus outside. It was either an outside species or...

"Sir, we found a little kid!!!"

Or some humans. Would I finally get a flag?
