1 THREE WAYS OF SURVIVAL

[Three ways to survive in a ruined world ]

________________________________________

The world we know is way different than what we understand; it's a mixture of drama, emotions, pain, suffering, and lies.

We think that we are happy, we think that we are living, but all we are doing is just repeating the very same thing over and over again.

It could be anything like waking up in the morning or going to school or colleges or probably eating the same boring dish over and over again.

It could be anything and probably the same could be said for me.

[ The Next Station is &아#@!&아#@! ...]

Hmm... it seems I'm also just repeating everything over and over again, just a loop...

My name is Yu Jung-Hyeok though I don't have that much of a good introduction for myself. I'm a man who does things by his own account and never listens to anyone else.

Well, probably that's why I had to retire from my E-sports career. I was a pro-gamer, a solo player, but it seems having tons of experience won't do you any good if you can't focus on your team-play.

"Hey look, he's kind of handsome, right..."

"Ya, totally! Should we ask for his number..."

Haa... That's why I don't like to travel by train; there are many people, and they look towards me for my appearance, not for who I am...

Step... step...

I got on the train; the place was filled with people. I just looked at a corner where an empty place was and walked towards it.

"Who is he? Is he a model..."

"I don't know... I've never seen him in magazines..."

Haa... just look away, don't scrutinize me... it sure feels like I'm still stuck repeating my life every day over and over again...

As I turned my head, I saw the number written on a wall '3707' under that there was a door leading to the other compartment of this train.

I looked at my phone and it said 6:50; I recalled that I promised my sister that I would be home by 6:30 pm.

"I'm late; my sister is going to scream at me..." I spoke in a very low voice as I looked outside the window.

The train was underground, so there was nothing for me to watch.

Right now, I was on Train 3434 which will go to Bulgwang, and I have to get off at the second last stop.

Thud...

As I was looking out, I saw a guy who looked in his mid-thirties came out of nowhere and sat beside me, though I didn't like any company, but I didn't say anything as the guy seemed to be lost in his phone.

I looked at his phone as I didn't have much to think or do. As I looked at it, I saw an article about me returning to the gaming industry. While I looked at the article, I saw a headline, which was discussing the disappearance of the pro gamer Yu Jung-Hyeok.

If I remember correctly, when I was 12 and my sister was only 4, my parents left us both and disappeared somewhere.

That was the time when I cried a lot. Both me and my sister were alone, but knowing that it's not going to help us in any way, I decided to take the responsibility on my shoulders and helped my sister in any way I could...

The government policy of letting every child study for free until they are of age helped me a lot.

Those were some hard times for both me and my sister, but we still were able to live happily after. But there is one regret I have that no matter how much I tried, I wasn't able to give my sister the love she needed from her parents.

My eyes were fixed on the guy's phone, and it seems he didn't also sense my gaze as I was just looking at it while thinking about my troubled past.

The time was 6:55 now, and the train was going at full speed, while I was still lost in my troubled thinking, remembering my past.

"Heuh, heuh-euh...."

Suddenly a guy, who looked at his mid-forties got up from where he was sitting and started to growl something.

Several people shifted their gazes over to the man after hearing his intermittent grunts.

"Hey, who is he..."

"I don't know..."

Many people started to whisper to each other as they looked towards the guy standing in front of them, while I just came out of my reverie because of these whispers.

The man, carrying a twisted expression, sniggered and looked around himself, as if trying to find something or someone.

Then suddenly, he pulled out a homemade bomb and a lighter.

[ On that day when the parwall began, there was a certain man riding on the same Subway car no. 3707 as Yu jung-Hyeok.]

"What's that?"

"H-hey, man!"

[The subway terrorist, Choi Han-Gyu.]

The shocked crowd screamed and retreated. People freaked out after witnessing the sparks exploding from the man's hands and stood up from their seats, causing the scene to turn chaotic.

As for Yu Jung-Hyeok, he was quietly staring at that man.

"No one will move or I will kill Everyone here!!"

The guy screamed, and everyone started to panic. Seeing the scene in front of him, a dumbfounded look came upon Yu Jung-Hyeok's face as he didn't understand what is going on.

[7:00 PM]

And then a Tick! noise resounded out, and suddenly everything inside the cart started to shake violently.

[ THE FREE SERVICE PERIOD OF THE PLANETARY SYSTEM NO. 8612 HAS CONCLUDED.]

[MAIN SCENARIO HAS BEGUN.]
