EPISODE-3
THE ONE FROM A DIFFERENT TIME
|U/N|
"Wake up, why are you so weak?"
"I wonder why I took a interest in you..."
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES IS SIGHING.]
[YOU ARE SLOWLY WAKING UP...]
"You're awake!" Na Bori shouted with a ecstatic expression with a smile, I looked around and noticed Jihye guarding us.
'Did something happen...?'
"Oh, you're awake." Jihye said, looking more calm than before as she grinned cheerfully.
'Something definitely happened...'
"I want to thank you constellation somehow, but..." Jihye began to say as I turned to look at the notifications
'What did you do?'
[COLLECTOR IF STORIES SAYS HE ONKY GAVE SOME TIPS.]
'Yeah, right.'
We were at an entirely different place, and Jihye and Na Bori had their outfits changed expect for me.
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES SAYS IT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF-]
'Gimme.'
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES IS SHOCKED BY YOUR SHAMELESSNESS.]
'...I'm not kidding.'
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES SIGHS.]

'...Good.'
I smirked smugly as Na Bori and Jihye were talking about something
"We should head to Geumho station now, right? It's already been hours since the scenario appeared." Jihye mentioned, I was surprised that we had failed a sub scenario and didn't get punished for it.
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES IS AWAITING YOUR DECISION.]
"Guys, since we're...actually, where are we anyway?" I asked, rather curious to know where we were.
'It kind of looks like...'
"So, your constellation said to..." Na Bori began to say with a nervous expression as I waited in anticipation of what she was going to say
"...bring you here to..." Na Bori pointed at the surroundings as I recognized the place
'Why are we...'
"...Lotte World." Na Bori chuckled
'IN A DAMN THEME PARK?!'
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES IS SNICKERING.]
"Okay, let's just..." I collected myself and groaned internally, this was so annoying already...
[ACTIVATING PERSONAL STIGMA, FABLE LIBRARY.]
'I'll just buy some skills first...hm?'
|LEON TAKUIRA|
(LEON TAKUIRA)-What an situation...
It was very weird, I never imagined a tame Yoo Joonghyuk currently walking with us as he glared at Dokja for whatever reason each few seconds.
We split into groups to search for supplies as Joonghyuk kept everything he found to himself like I would expect from him.
The sun was rising as we soon made it out of Oksu station and arrived at a broken down city that seemed very ominous.
[YOU HAVE ENTERED THE AREA OF
THE SECOND MAIN SCENARIO.]
Without warning, we had trespassed onto a dangerous area and Joonghyuk had already disappeared.
(LEON TAKUIRA)-That damned bastard...!
But it was fine, since I had a skill for a situation like this.
Dokja was also thinking quite a lot, well, it wasn't surprising.
"We should get something to eat, stay close to me." I ordered the others, we walked around and looted buildings that were in good shape as we got some food from a convenience store.
"We should eat these for now. The rest can be saved for later." I mentioned, sneaking a chocolate bar into my mouth without the others noticing.
(LEON TAKUIRA)-Chocolate...yummy...
I thought with glee, it was always so good and yummy...
|U/N|
Driving along the road, we could see that many things were destroyed, at this point...I wasn't even sure what to feel.
'And these two seem to be having the time of their lives.'
I only smiled as we had stolen a rich car, it gave us a sense of rebellious pride.
We went to the broken down city, there was poison gas everywhere but due to the skills I bought, we were fine.
'That reminds me...how do I use this skill?'

'Hey, can you at least show me the description of my new ability?'
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES VAGUELY SAYS IT'LL MAKE YOU LIKE A GOD.]
'...Then tell me how to use it so I can survive in scenarios easier.'
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES SAYS YOU'LL HAVE TO GET USED TO IT.]
With a sigh, I only dozed off to sleep as I dreamed peacefully...
...
"Well, this is such a coincidence." A voice suddenly spoke, my eyes snapping open as Na Bori and Jihye seemed to be acting cautious.
That's when I noticed a group of people in front of the car at a convenience store, three adults, one of them much younger and a woman plus a male child.
"Wait, they might not attack us." I said to Jihye and Na Bori who only nodded at my words as the man with blue eyes approached, his brown hair moving slightly as his blue eyes that were like jewels captured my vision and breath as it reminded me of the ocean or the sea as it reflected such a deep feeling.
[COLLECTOR OF STORIES SAYS YOU SHOULD BE OKAY.]
That's when I regained my senses for a moment
'Jeez, that doesn't sound good...'
[BOUNTY SCENARIO COMPLETED!]
'Huh?'
And thus, was my meeting with someone I would never have expected to have met in my life had began.
