My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 317: Abnormal

Chapter 317: Abnormal

"Do you still feel like you haven't done anything?" Haru asked Hyun-sung he told him about everything he had helped with till now.

"Thank you Haru-ssi," Hyun-sung's face fully brightened up as he looked at Haru.

[Character Lee Hyun-sung is awaiting the chance for his attribute to blossom.]

<Result: Believe It, Dattebayo!>

'Yes!' Dok-ja celebrated in his mind as he saw the prompt coming up in front of his eyes.

"It seems like there was a miscommunication that led to this situation," Sang-ah was happy seeing it all work out in the end.

"It may be simple miscommunication but it can become lethal if it isn't resolved quickly," Everyone could understand that Queresha spoke from her own experience.

'Though it isn't miscommunication but comparison, that in itself Is a stupid thing to do in front of Haru,' Queresha understood the root problem of Hyun-sung, it isn't that he felt like he didn't help rather it was that he compared it with what Haru had done till now which resulted in this.

She knew that Haru didn't address it till now because it would be better for Hyun-sung to understand this on his own, but since they were low on time Haru brought out the desired outcome by suggestions and recognizing what Hyun-sung had done.

It is like an up-and-coming scientist gets praise from Elon Musk for his work, it helps validates the person's self-worth. That is what people look for the most, validation whether it be by their family or friends or lover. It is an important part of human nature, since it makes you feel like you achieved something.

"Leave all that aside, Isn't Haru too good at this? If Hyun-sung was a girl he'd be in love by now," Hee-won looked terrified at Haru's incredible prowess.

"His affection meter would've been broken," Jin-ah agreed with a sagely nod.

"Did he coax girls for a living or what?" Hee-won shuddered at the thought of being in Hyun-sung's place, she wouldn't be able to take it, like how can you when a person keeps so much attention on you in order to help when you doubt yourself?

"I wonder about that," Alea laughed since Haru would be broke if that was his real job.

"They are talking again," Dok-ja said bringing everyone's attention to Haru who was looking at Nam-woon.

"Is something troubling you?" Haru asked Nam-woon since he had been silent this whole time sitting next to Hyun-sung, like way too silent given his normal behavior.

"I am ok Hyung," Nam-woon sounded like a normal person, and yes this was a problem.

"...Who are you?" Haru asked in complete shock.

"That hurts Hyung, can you not recognize your little brother?" Nam-woon looked sad at Haru's reaction.

"Oh My God! It is happening ....emergency meeting everyone gather right now, This is not a drill," Haru called over everyone and they all rushed over as they were hearing from nearby.

"What happened to him?" Hee-won asked with shock.

"Not you too Noona," Nam-woon rolled his eyes.

"…If you don't tell me where you've hidden Nam-woon in 10 seconds, I'm going to carve you up like a thanksgiving turkey," Hee-won unsheathed the katana already.

"Why are you making a fuss when I am only acting normal?" Nam-woon asked in confusion.

"You acting normal is abnormal," Haru and Hee-won shouted in frustration as the others didn't know what to say in the current situation, they could only stand by and laugh wryly.

This was their group, one second they can be serious and the next they can be goofy like the world hasn't ended.

'But maybe that isn't as bad as it sounds,' Sang-ah thought smiling as because of this very reason was she able to keep her mind together in such a situation.

Leaving that aside, It took a whole hour before Haru and Hee-won calmed down, they were fully convinced that this Nam-woon was fake and were ready to interrogate him.

After this everyone had dinner and sat down conserving their energy for the upcoming scenario.

"I'll be looking around for a bit," Queresha said as she stood up with the other girls following her.

"No need to worry about any attacks with me around," Hee-won gave Haru a thumbs-up with a grin.

"I see, don't overwork yourself," Haru nodded and looked at Queresha.

"I'll be sure not to," Queresha smiled slightly.

"At least do this while you are alone, Geez," Hee-won got a bit cranky, and the girls went to do what they have been talking about for a while.

"Hey Hyung, give me some flirting tips," Nam-woon asked Haru.

"What flirting tips?" Haru blinked in confusion making Nam-woon's eyes twitch since he could see this guy was genuinely clueless.

[Several Constellations are laughing.]

[The Constellation 'Noble Child of The Sun' is confused.]

[200 Coins have been sponsored.]

[The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' has closed his eyes.]

[100 coins have been sponsored.]

[The Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is looking forward to how this develops.]

[400 Coins have been sponsored.]

Haru looked at the constellation go back and forth as a few hours passed in a blink and it was soon 11:00 P.M. and the peace was broken by the Dokkaebi that emerged in the air.

[Now now, shall we start the third day of the main scenario? New faces have arrived today, so won't it be fun? Hahaha!] It was Bi-Hyung that appeared to be the representative.

There were currently three channels active in Chungmuro for this scenario, and Bi-hyung's channel was the smallest, so he had to do the tedious tasks.

Leaving that aside the Scenario window appeared in front of everyone.

[Main Scenario #3 – Green Zone (Day 3)]

Category: Main

Difficulty: C

Clear Conditions: Occupy the 'green zone' in the station and survive the monsters that emerge every night at midnight. This scenario will last 7 days.

Duration: 8 hours.

Compensation: 1,000 coins

Failure: ?

One can see how fast the expression on everyone's face changed, the clear horror that was present on the people's faces was something else.

[It is simple. Occupy the green zone before other people. Of course, you can take away the green zone of others. By the way, you should hurry. If you don't have a green zone after the scenario starts, you will have a terrible experience. Haha, then everyone should try it!] Bi-Hyung continued looking at everyone as they panicked.

"T-This," Hyun-sung's face looked a little pale since this was a bad scenario.

There were way more people than what the green zones could keep, this, of course, will create mass panic as no one wants to lose their life, there weren't such people in this world, since even the kindest people won't hesitate to defend themselves if the need arises.

'The whole Chungmuro station is about to turn into a warzone till the scenario begins,' Dok-ja saw that the people were already looking at the safe zones with dangerous eyes and their group also possessed one.

Though it is unlikely that they will be attacked, but with enough desperation, it is possible that they get swarmed, since the threat to their lives provided sufficient reason for them to do so, it was a likely scenario they needed to prepare for.

'Well, we don't need to worry about it even if they do attack,' Dok-ja was confident in the prowess of the group and they could kill everyone that attack them, but that was the point will their group actually kill them or just beat them up to keep them away?

There were nearly 200 people on this floor alone, among these only 75 people had a green zone and the tension in the atmosphere was thick. The slightest spark can send the whole place into chaos.

"What is with this hostile atmosphere?" Everyone's attention was stolen by the voice that came from the stairs.

"Queresha-ssi?" One of the women said since it was none other than Queresha along with Jin-ah, Alea, Sang-ah, and Hee-won. But they weren't alone as nearly 50 people were following them up the stairs as they walked towards their own safe zone.

And the people who came with them also followed them standing near Haru's group.

"I understand your predicament but our group won't allow fights on this floor," Queresha's flat and cold voice rang in the silence that was hanging in the air, her words clearly showed that there was no room for any refusal.

'Of course, they wouldn't like that, even if Queresha-ssi healed the few wounded people here, it is still far from enough to sway them,' Dok-ja knew what would happen if they try to persuade people just by words.

"What?"

"What nonsense is this?"

"Do you think we'll listen to you?"

The people were, of course, having none of it, they shouted and Queresha knew this would happen.

"If you think you are strong enough to overthrow us, please do so, no one is stopping you,"
