Episode 3-Selective Slaughtering (2)

<Attack on the Coin Farm>

I woke up abruptly and stood up in an instant. There were three people staring at me.

"Who is this..?"

"Fres..ssh meat??"

"Shhhh..."

They had a manic look in their eyes. Earlier, I saw the meteorites containing the disasters and guides fall from the sky. It was too early for these people to become an outside species.

[Character Summaries]

These people are slowly becoming insane and animalistic. There are several Demon Lords observing these people.

+

(You sick f*cks,) I thought.

There were other methods to become an outside species, and gain power from this world. No one really knew this, but the sub-scenario to acquire food was necessary to keep the humanity of a person. If they didn't acquire food, then they could resort to cannibalism, but that would make them go insane. That would also attract the attention of the Demon Kings, which were the inversion of the Constellations of [Star Stream.]

People could also beg for money from the Constellations to buy food from the Dokkaebi Shop, but such a method didn't appeal to me.

These people also spoke of "fresh meat." They were most likely speaking of me. I placed my two weapons somewhere else, but I still had my knife in my pocket. I made sure to rarely use it to avoid damaging it. Right now, these people wouldn't think I was a threat.

"Now, now everyone, you mustn't be too hasty..." a man said.

What was this?

"When you see someone in danger, you should offer assistance..." the man said smoothly.

My skill was still activated, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.

[You have encountered a Demagogue with the Incite Skill!]

[They are using this skill to calm down the humans that are converting into an outside species.]

+

(Really? How very interesting... They are just like Cheon Inho from Geumho station,) I thought. The person looked towards me.

"Hello," they said. "My name is Isen Vail. Yours?"

I didn't know if I should give my name to such shady people, but I had no other option.

"Watashi was namae wa... Ethan Nakamara..." I said in Japanese.

[Character "Isen Vael" is surprised that you spoke another language!]

[They are suspicious of you!]

"I'm sorry, may you say your name again?"

"Sure. It's Ethan Nakamura."

(What an interesting name,) Isen Vail thought, (if they are strong, maybe we can have him become part of the coin farm... if not...)

Finish the sentence, buddy.

(We can kill him, and I'll feed his body to the rest of those freaks. Some Demon Kings are bound to like it.)

There we go.

***

I walked with Isen Vail. We traversed the broken city. The terraforming was already beginning, and I could see that some plants were growing within the cracks in the cement. They bloomed so well, and were ripe for the taking. The author of TWSA - for some reason - stopped writing the main storyline of Yu Junghyeok. They began writing from Anna Croft's perspective - then they got sick of that- and began to write a Farmer's Almanac for the Star Stream universe. For some reason, I read that as well.

So, I knew one thing. These people were truly pathetic. Instead of trying to clear the scenario, they began to eat other people. The plants I was looking at were ashplants, which have resistant outer layers to keep the ash away from their insides. The inside of these stalk plants were actually filled with hydrating goo, and plant matter that someone could digest.

(I wonder if I could write that almanac and sell it on the Dokkaebi shop,) I thought to myself.

"Here we are, Ethan Nakamura!!" Isen Vail shouted.

With a swift, sweeping motion, he waved his arms towards the coin farm, as if it was something to proud of. There were multiple coins farms in TWSA. Not all of them were horrible. In a way, they were like a traveling circus. I remember when Anna Croft visited a coin farm and spent a day with Selena King. Sadly, this coin farm wasn't anything like it.

I saw men raping women, women raping men, and some much other horrid shit.

The minute I saw this disgusting cesspool, I wanted to rip out Isen Vail's throat. But I couldn't right now. I needed to entertain this fool, receive some exposition, and then kill him afterwards.

[Constellation "Demonic Judge of Fire" has sent a direct message to you: "Are you gonna to join in?"]

This archangel was annoying me. Even if I killed people, I still had limits. I was about to show it here, and now.

"Excuse me, Mr. Vail, are there any children around here?" I asked him.

(Why is he asking me this?) they thought. (Teenagers shouldn't ask too many questions... especially to adults...)

"No," he said cheerily. "They aren't here anymore. We make sure that they stay protected and safe, so we send them somewhere else!"

(Yeah, good riddance to those little shits...) Isen Vail thought.

I wondered if my [Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint] skill was something that I deserved. It was convenient, but hearing these disgusting thoughts was such a perversion in my point of view. I needed to entertain these bastards though.

[Constellation "Demonic Judge of Fire" is watching this.]

Not a lot of people knew about the modifiers until much later in the scenario. For the constellations, the modifiers were like nicknames. There was no else in the [Star Stream] that knew as many modifiers as me, but many people thought this constellation was evil because of their name. Words such as "demonic" and "fire" sounded quite sinister, but I knew that this was Archangel Uriel, a beautiful angel that killed demons with fiery judgements. It seems that other angels had reported me to the Nebula "Eden" for my heinous deeds in the first scenario. I hoped they kept on watching.

"So, over there is the Colosseum, where gladiator fighting takes place," Isen Vail pointed.

When I looked over, I saw many things. People were fighting naked, and using everything they had to survive. They clawed at each other and tried to gouge out each other's eyeballs.

"We have a very supportive constellation named Emperor of the Large Golden Palace," he said. "that Constellation likes this coin farm and he likes watching the gladiator fights."

(Of course that constellation is here,) I thought to myself. (He's a complete sicko.)

I kept on looking around for any kids, but I saw no children. I needed to ask another question.

"Are they any kids in these areas? It's quite dangerous around here, the fourth scenario is in motion," I said aloud, "there may be kings around here, ready to take over this coin farm."

"Ah, I see that Mr. Nakamura is quite an entrepreneur. I admire your concern, but there are no young children in this area. Although... " he leaned towards me and began to whisper. "If you are interested in children... we have a variety of young women...."

I had enough of this.

[Secretive Plotter has sent a direct message to Incarnation "Ethan Nakamura."]

[They have stated that they have clipped this moment.]

"Thank you, Secretive Plotter," I said aloud. "I need one Constellation to watch this scenario."

"Who are you talking to...?" Isen Vail said quizzically. He instinctually looked to sky. His neck was ripe for the taking.

I smiled and said, "No one but myself."

I promptly grabbed the knife from my jacket pocket and slashed his throat. His blood splattered all over my face, but my cloth-mask and jacket hood protected it. Sadly, my knife was bent because I put so much strength into the attack. Still, it was satisfying to see him fall onto his knees and clutch his throat in pain.

"Ghghaa----AHHHHHH!!!" he screamed. "WHY--YY!?!?!?"

Humans were truly pathetic. I hoped that society would be smarter, but everyone had a monster in them. I activated my [Anger Lord] attribute and kicked on Isen Vail's head. My 60 Strength Stat empowered my leg so much that it obliterated his head in an instant.

"Wahhh!!!"

"That kid!!!"

"That *^& bastard!!"

First, I killed the person who called me a fucking slur. I grabbed him by the neck and smashed his body into the ground. I did it so hard that it cracked the pavement. They died in an instant. The people in better-looking clothing were obviously the propagators of this coin farm. In games, it's common for people to assemble a variety of items to protect themselves. I didn't need any type of flashy item though. I activated my given stigma and I burned the guards to a crisp.

Others were scattering, or coming towards me, but some of the outside species were growling out in lustful hunger. By burning some guards with my stigma, I essentially made cooked meat. The guards that were turning into an outside species went insane and began to eat the meat. This was truly chaos.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!"

"Shitttiitttititiit!!!"

Guards began turning against each other.

[You have activated Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Lv.3!]

[Because of the death of Isen Vail, all the humans that are converting to an "outside species" are finally unleashing there inner evil. They are fully morphing into an outside species!]

+

(Perfect,) I thought. (It was time to piss off some demon kings.)

***

There were no children around here. These sickos probably ate them, or discarded them. Isen Vail obviously set himself as a leader, since he had the Incite Skill. He probably manipulated these people to get him actual food to keep his humanity, while also making them commit atrocities to earn coins.

It was so obvious. Cheon Inho of Geumho Station tried to do this, but they were killed by Yu Junghyeok in the third regression. Sadly, Yu Junghyeok wasn't here. It was up to me to wipe out the garbage.

***

Once I was down to the last person, they became hysterical and tried to bite me.

[Character Summary]

Name: Author Doyle

Age: 34

Ethnicity: African American

Private Attribute: [Sacrificial Father] (Uncommon) [Immigrant] (Common)

Constellation: (None) (Demons are observing this man)

Overall Evaluation: They are a person who ate humans to protect their wife, Maya Doyle. They ate humans to morph into an outside species. Their son - Preston Doyle - is still alive, and they have tucked them away to protect them. Author Doyle has gone insane when his wife died in the "Colosseum" after Constellation [Emperor of the Large Golden Palace] sent a message: "My thumb is turned down for Maya Doyle." They are becoming an outside species at an accelerated rate due to this.

+

God, this was horrible.

"Pleasesssss.... find my sssoonnnn," he rasped, "killll meeeee!!!"

With that last bout of rueful screaming, he shot up and came towards me in an instant. I dodged all of his attacks and kicked his head, which bursted. The headless body fell to the ground, still twitching and spasming. Blood shot out from the neck several feet into the air, as if it was a fountain of blood.

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

[Secretive Plotter has sent a direct message: "We understand your pain."]

[Constellation "Demonic Judge of Fire" is leaving the this channel for #BI-7623]

After this attack, I was the last man standing. I earned so many coins.

[He re, I will sho w yo u,] Fragment of the 4th Wall said.

Account: 40,465 coins.

It didn't feel worth it, though.
