The Live
Eight.
“I, I don't want to die... ”
The man I was with opened his eyes.
He knew his rank and had a hunch he was going to die soon.
“Hey, hey! What are you doing... ”
“Aaahhh-!"
He swings a bow with no arrows in his hand.
Towards the colleague we just traveled with.
Phew!
Blood spurts from the head of the man who was hit by the powerful bow.
And the same thing happened everywhere simultaneously.
Soon.
Phase 2 of the tutorial, because the promised three days are coming.
Those who knew their position and thought they would never make it within a hundred swing their swords at everyone in sight to somehow survive.
Soon there was a fight.
Killing the same person is more likely to live than killing a monster.
Just before Tutorial Phase 2 ends.
The tutorial was once again a mess.
And…….
[148 survivors. From now on, exit step 2 of the tutorial.]
Finally, phase 2 of the tutorial is over.
The rankings that appeared in front of people's faces staggered.
Someone at the top of the hundred sees their name, smiling, and the people below are desperate.
Immediately...
Tsk, tsk.
Sss-
A hundred people have gone through the tutorial.
“Me, too! Take me with you! ”
“Sa, save me-! ”
48 people left.
They felt that they were going to die soon.
I don't know how. But this godforsaken world will keep its word.
It's different.
Rrrrrrrrrrr
“Huh, huh? ”
The monsters that were scattered all around them come glaring at you.
There were tens, hundreds of them.
I can't afford to be individually.
I had no idea where all those monsters came from at once.
“Is that what this was...? ”
The survivors settle down, gazing in horror at the monsters from all sides.
Or the weapon in his hand, he swung and acted.
But…….
“Aaahhhh!"
The results were unchanged.
* * *
Once again, the place where I opened my eyes was a dark place where I could see nothing.
It was like a room with black wallpaper all around it.
Yoon Jae looked at himself and the ten people who entered the room.
"I've never seen these faces before. ’
There was no sign of Kim Do Hyung and Jeong Yu. Of the ten random people, it was fortunate that Kim Du-hyung and Jeong Yu didn't mix.
Yoon Jae sat there without hesitation. I didn't feel the need to stand.
The people who were there were aware of each other.
Yoon Jae was able to understand why.
‘Maybe at the end……. ’
Know the rankings and how many people can survive.
Perhaps they survived their last moments, being attacked by those who sensed their deaths or killed someone.
Of course, disbelief in people was always greater than monsters.
Even though ten people gathered, it was so quiet because of that.
Yoon Jae sat down for a moment and opened the diary in his arms.
Yoon Jae, who reads books all the time, looked at people with strange eyes.
What the book meant in this situation, it was the look of something like that.
Some showed greed in their eyes, wondering if it was a special item.
‘The future can change. ’
Yoon Jae reclaimed it in his head like a spell.
I read the diary and read it again. And I drew in my mind what was to come to me.
‘If the events in this diary come mutating before me. ’
We should be able to cope without panic at that time.
[We are now going to start stage 3 of the tutorial.]
It has finally begun.
Yoon Jae put the diary he had read repeatedly in his arms again.
The other nine people quickly raised their heads and began to concentrate whether they received the same message.
[There are three doors.]
Sss-
Along with him, three doors appeared in the black space.
It was a red, blue and white door.
[Ten in the red door, five in the blue door, and one in the white door. Each of you will go inside this door and do a tutorial.]
“What difference does it make? ”
The message continues, as if answering someone's muttering question.
[The red door will allow ten to enter, but will be very difficult. There is no guarantee that you will be able to pass the tutorial safely.
The blue door is less difficult than the red door. It's not hard to get through with five people.]
“Then the white is……. ”
[The white door, once you enter, will allow you to pass the tutorial.]
At that, the eyes of the people gathered in the room shook violently.
You just need to get in and get through. It meant that we would be able to survive.
But there's only one person who can get through the white door.
‘That's really nasty. ’
Yoon Jae also could not get rid of the idea that the voice running the tutorial was playing with them.
Once you enter the red door, there are ten tutorials waiting for you.
If there is a chance that everyone in this room will survive, all we have to do is walk through this red door.
However, blue doors and white doors that were less difficult were interfering with the idea itself.
The red door may kill you, but the blue one is more likely to live, and the white one survives without fail.
‘I'd rather give you a red door from the beginning. ’
It was when Yoon Jae was thinking that.
Ta-da.
Someone who noticed started running towards the white door.
“Hey, get him! ”
“What are you doing! ”
He moves first, grabbing the handle of the white door. The description was not finished, but it seemed like he was about to enter the white door first.
But...
“Oh, it won't open! ”
The door is closed tightly without opening.
Of course I did.
The tutorial hasn't even started yet.
[The order in which you select the door is determined by achievement points. Choose the person with the highest Achievement Points first, then the door.]
“What, what? ”
“There's no such thing as unfair law! ”
Those who didn't collect relatively many Achievement Points were turned back.
Among them, there were mixed people who ran towards the white door.
It was natural.
At this rate, at least four will enter through the red door.
And those four will be the ones who don't get a lot of achievement points.
As just four people with a red door tutorial that is difficult for ten people to proceed, it meant that they were literally told to die.
But his voice did not listen to their complaints.
Instead, he pointed to Yoon Jae.
[Please select the appropriate Kim Yun Jae statement.]
A light that brightens the glow at the same time.
Everyone's gaze turned to Yoon Jae. When they heard Yoon Jae's name, they were surprised.
“Kim Yun-jae?”
“Isn't that the name at the top? ”
Yoon Jae's name was the first to be seen at midnight every day when the ranking of Achievement Points was revealed.
They seemed surprised that Yoon Jae from the same group was the person who scored the highest in Tutorial Phase 2.
At the same time, a jealous gaze turned towards Yoon Jae.
They thought that Yoon Jae would choose the white door of course.
It was worth it.
Why go the hard way? The red door is difficult to pass even if ten people enter it.
Ten to nine white.
It was clear that there was a chance of choosing a blue door at one or two of the ten.
At least that's what they thought.
“Red.”
But...
“I choose the red door. ”
Yoon Jae's choice turned their expectations upside down.
“Red?”
“Not white? ”
Nine people whispered to each other as if they had not misheard Yoon Jae.
Red, not white.
It wasn't even blue.
Though he never thought it would happen, Yoon Jae chose red without hesitation.
“Why on earth……? ”
Someone questioned him, even though he would be pleased.
As everyone's gaze gathers on him, Yoon Jae shrugs.
‘Do you think all ten of them... can live? ’
‘No way... ’
‘But other than that, there's no other reason. ’
The way to live for all ten.
It was the only way for everyone here to choose the red door.
If that were the case…….
It is said to be very difficult, but if you pass the tutorial, you may be able to pass Phase 3 of the tutorial without anyone dying.
Maybe that's what Yoon Jae wanted and chose the red door.
Gulp -
Those who thought that Yoon Jae would choose the white door barely passed on the dry saliva.
If that's the intention of choosing the red door…….
‘Maybe we can all live together. ’
The faces of those who did not earn many Achievement Points changed from despair to hope.
[Please select the appropriate Park Joo-ho door.]
But...
“I choose the white door. ”
Their hope, soon to fall miserably.
“What, what? ”
“White?”
Selection of a white door followed by a red door.
That meant one thing.
“Don't you know why he chose the red door? ”
“You want to live alone now.... ”
“You selfish bastard! ”
There is no hope that anyone can live.
Military centers were a strange law. If Park Joo-ho had chosen the red door again, everyone would have chosen the red door.
However, Park Joo-ho had no other choice.
“Why would I do that? ”
Park Joo-ho laughed and looked around at everyone.
“If I choose the red door, how can you all choose the red door? ”
“That's ……. ”
“I heard that if you choose the white door above all else, you will surely live. Why would I throw that away? ”
He was right.
But it was also a desperate word for someone who had barely held on to hope.
No one can insult Park Joo-ho here. It was the authority given to Park Joo-ho.
But I couldn't help but be angry, displeased, and resentful.
“Did you say Kim Yun Jae? ”
Park Joo-ho sat on one side and turned his gaze to Yoon Jae, looking at the red door.
“I meant well, but I did something stupid. You also ran the lead in Tutorial Phase 2, if only you had chosen the white door……. ”
“I talk a lot. ”
Yoon Jae cut Joo-ho's words in the middle.
Park Joo-ho frowned, looking at Yoon Jae like that.
Yoon Jae's expression did not change a bit. Even though his intentions were wrong because of Park Joo-ho.
Didn't you mean to save everyone? ’
And in that reaction, Park Joo-ho doubted Yun Jae's intentions.
If we were really going to get everyone together and walk through the red door, we wouldn't be able to do that.
However, Park stopped looking inside Yoon Jae.
It was meaningless. After choosing the white door, Park Joo-ho has already passed the third phase of the tutorial.
‘Idiot. No matter what you think, no one will choose the bright red door. ’
It's different.
Park Joo-ho's thoughts were correct.
“I... will choose the blue door. ”
“I also have a blue door……. ”
Next, and then the next.
They all chose the blue door, not the red one.
Beyond the red door, there was a tutorial for ten people to work with.
However, Park Joo-ho's choice made it impossible for ten people to proceed together.
In that situation, it was too dangerous to choose the red door and trust only one Yoon Jae.
On the other hand, even if there were only five people in the blue door, the process was good enough. Moreover, the risk was lower than the red door.
There was nothing to worry about.
If you want to live, you have to choose a blue door, not red.
“Look at that. ”
Park Joo-ho smiled at them.
His face was already relaxed when the tutorial was passed.
There was only one thought in Park Joo-ho's head that seemed to smile in front of Yoon Jae.
‘It's better to have no competitors. ’
He rejoiced at the thought that someone ahead of him would soon be gone, rather than that Yoon Jae had put his life at risk by making the wrong choice.
It is better to have no competitors everywhere. Even after only stage 2 of the tutorial, it was a system to try to get 100 people out of the competition.
“Did you think the white door was the right answer? ”
At that time, Yoon Jae asked.
It was the first time Yoon Jae who was silent all the time.
However, what came out of his mouth was not what Park Joo-ho expected.
I thought you might regret it.
“Then? Or not? ”
“Not really. You thought that was the right answer, so you picked it out. ”
Yoon Jae shakes his head with a sigh as if he had asked me something obvious.
Park Joo-ho felt bad. He thought his choice wasn't wrong.
“Tell me the truth. Don't be embarrassed and say whatever you want. ”
Yoon Jae's gaze turned to Park Joo-ho's back, again to the person who chose the blue door.
Yun Jae replied with a smile mixed with his own hands.
“Better to choose the blue door. ”
“What?"
“Well, at least white's not the answer. ”
Yoon Jae said that and shut up again.
Park Joo-ho's face distorted. I felt like I had just won, but I felt uneasy.
Soon, everyone chose the door.
[White and blue doors are exceeded and those remaining will automatically be placed in the red door.]
“Oh, no! ”
“Where is this law!? ”
“Damn! You want me to do four hard tutorials for ten?" Are you kidding me? ”
The remaining three people bark at an invisible voice, not even a face.
They had no choice.
Park Joo-ho chose the white door, and then five people chose the blue door without having to worry.
To survive.
No one could finger them. Survival is a natural choice.
But because of that, someone is in danger of dying.
“Again, again! This is null and void!”
Yoon Jae stared at him and sighed deeply.
It wasn't that they didn't understand. Then I suddenly thought that I was no different from them.
I smiled bitterly.
Did you do something wrong? ’
But regrets were always late.
This decision is irreversible. If I decide, I will have to hold my heart.
Yoon Jae got up from his seat.
And...
Margin-
Three doors open at the same time.
At that time, the one who had to go through the red door rushed through the gap to the white door.
“That bastard! ”
Park Joo-ho glances at him and shakes his head.
But the result.
Uh-huh.
“Unh!”
Even though the door was open, the man could not enter through the white door. You hear a dull sound as if a wall is blocking you, and the man falls back.
And Park Joo-ho kicked him without pity.
Boom, boom-!
“Where!”
“Aah!”
“You scared me, you son of a bitch! ”
Park Joo-ho has bloodshot eyes.
He saw the man running toward the white door and his heart nearly sank.
If he went through the white door, he thought, should he go through the red door instead?
“Die... ”
Tuk-
Then someone grabbed Joo-ho's foot by the hand.
“I'll leave it at that. He still needs to do the tutorial with me. ”
Park Joo-ho glances at Yoon Jae's hand, grabbing her feet.
But I didn't dare to use my hands on him. The man who was trembling on the ground was clearly different from Yoon Jae.
‘What power…. ’
I was surprised at the strength of Yoon Jae who was holding onto my feet right now.
It looks like I grabbed it lightly, but it doesn't budge.
In the second phase of the tutorial, Park Joo-ho ranked 12th.
Quite well, no quite high ranking.
Park thought that Yoon Jae wouldn't be that big of a difference.
Even just now.
Park-
As soon as Yoon Jae let go of his hand, Park Joo-ho nervously slapped the foot holding it steadily.
He stares at Yoon Jae with narrow eyes.
Yoon Jae gazed at Park Joo-ho with his expressionless eyes.
[After 5 minutes, the door closes.]
“... we're running out of time. ”
Park Joo-ho, who was making eye contact with Yoon Jae for a moment, immediately turned around.
Then he walked through the white door and said,
“Good luck with that. ”
Gain -
A white door filled with Park Joo-ho closes with a heavy voice.
Yoon Jae looked around.
Everyone who had already been assigned a blue door had already entered the door.
The only three left are those assigned a red door.
‘There are four of me. ’
There are only four tutorials that need to be done as ten people, and that might be difficult.
Yoon Jae said with a smile on his face.
“Come on in. ”
You have 5 minutes to get through the door.
The two people who were expressing frustration at Yoon Jae's words moved their feet, making a lost face.
Yoon Jae also tried to enter the door.
By the way.
“Aren't you going? ”
The man who was beaten by Park Joo-ho's kick was unresponsive.
The man who appeared to be in his late thirties was trembling less.
Yoon Jae bowed down and said.
“Is it uncomfortable for you to get hit.... ”
“Go.”
“What?"
“Go! I, I can't go! ”
Yoon Jae's expression frowned on the roar that sounded like he was committing a crime.
Five minutes. Just enough time to walk through the door, but less time to convince someone.
“Do you know what happens after five minutes here? ”
“I don't know. But...... you might not die, right? ”
“You can't die in there. ”
“No, you're going to die. There's only four of us! ”
The man's eyes tremble severely.
Yoon Jae kicked his tongue. I had nothing more to say.
“Suit yourself. ”
Yoon Jae stretched his waist and walked through the red door.
Before entering the door, Yoon Jae leaned over and glanced at the man who was crouching.
‘I'm surprised you came all the way out here like that. ’
If you look at your actions so far, you may have killed someone nearby and barely survived.
Even if we stick together, we'll only grab her by the ankle.
Moreover, Yoon Jae did not have enough time to force the person he hated to live.
Yoon Jae, who had abandoned the refinement, took a step inside the door.
And after a while.
Gain -
Five minutes later, all three doors were closed.
