  [Why read a story I already know?

 If you read it again, it will definitely be a different story.]

 Chapter 2

I put my phone down as I look around the train carriage again, The people minding their own business.

I couldn't help but sigh again as I had to witness the brutal deaths again, I then went back to my phone and opened it, it was 6:55.

'I still have time so might as well just read some novels'

I thought as I started reading a novel called 'Trash of the Count's Family' yea that is the world I went to when I first died, 'I miss them tho..'

I thought as I continued to read until a metallic sound was heard, and the subway lights turned off. The darkness resulted in the screams of the passengers.

I then took a look at my phone and checked the time.. 6:59

'it's time' I thought as I sat back down

"Ugh..."

"W-what happened?"

"Announcement to all Passengers! Ev, everyone... Run Away-!!"

I check my phone again and it's finally 7 pm

[The free service of planetary system 8612 has been terminated.]

[The main scenario has started]

A floating bright window screen appeared above. The screen featured a harmless-looking creature with a small horn.

However, the sadistic grin it had let out was enough to let everyone know that something bad was going to happen.

'A dokaebi.. it starts now then.'

_______________________________

I huffed at the compensation.

'Really? Only 300 coins? I know it's because it's the beginning but still too low, oh well'

"C-come here!"

"A-ack help!"

"P-please spare me, I-i don't want to die yet!"

I just sat there watching the bloody scene. 'Nothing I can do even if they survive they'll still die in the end.. I just.. want to die..' I thought as I sighed.

I continued to watch them kill each other when suddenly a guy went towards me.

"Y-you! You look fragile..! I-i will kill you instead!"

The guy said as he rushed at me, a knife in his hand.

"Go ahead then" I said not moving as the guy smirked as he lifted the knife ready to stab me.

I just smiled as I closed my eyes waiting for the pain but after a few seconds I didn't feel any pain so I opened my eyes to see the man lying lifelessly with blood seeping out of his back.

I looked to the side to see a girl wearing a uniform with blood while holding a bloodied pen, the girl looked at me slightly trembling "u-um.. a-are you a-alright miss..?"

My smile dropped as I looked at the familiar girl, this was the girl who always ended up dying trying to protect me in the beginning. "Yea.. I'm fine"

I continued to look at her when suddenly a woman rushed at the girl pushing her to the ground while the woman straggled her. "U-ugh.."

"YOU BITCH, HOW DARE YOU KILL MY HUSBAND!!"

The woman said as the high school girl started crying while apologizing.

The angry woman continues to struggle the girl as she cries helplessly "I-im sorry.."

I sigh as I stand up and kick the woman off the girl as the girl gasps for air.

"Y-You!! How dare you stop me!! She killed my husband! How can you protect her!?"

"Wow you act as if you didn't kill your daughter"

"W-what?"

"Don't act like you didn't kill your daughter to survive, I saw you straggling the kid"

The woman trembled as I took the knife on the floor and I went to her.

The woman stood up and rushed towards me, and I stabbed her right in the heart, causing the woman to fall.

[You met the clear condition of the scenario!]

[You killed a living being!]

[300 coins have been earned in compensation...]

I sigh as I look at my shirt with blood "haah.. I hate blood.." I said as I looked toward the girl then took a step forward

[You killed a living being!]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation]

'hm?' I look down to see that I stepped on a bug as I remember how I survived when I came here for the first time.

'right.. the reason I survived on that turn was because I stepped on a bug' I thought as I went towards the girl who was still lying down as I extended my arm towards the girl.

"You can protect others but can't protect yourself? Get up"

The girl then grabs my hand, accepting my help.

"T-thank you.."

[The given time has run out.]

"Close your eyes" the younger girl nodded as she closed her eyes, as the peoples heads started to blow up, and I continued to watch the scene blankly.
