With this, Yu Joonghyuk's third round begins…
Yoo Joonghyuk once again live and would go through hell once more.

Screams could be heard everywhere in the subway car. Choi Han-gyu carrying the bomb and a lighter threatening passengers inside.
6:55
Only five more minutes until the grand tragedy of this world arrives.
And yet, there's already a tragedy going on inside this particular car.
"Heuh, he-euh. I spent three years s-staring at that hospital ceiling. You know what I saw? N-not God. Not pity. Just tiles."
"You… you don't have to do this. We—we can talk, alright? Please, calm yourself down…"
People inside the subway tried to talk and negotiate with him. Telling him to think about the outcomes, saying that he's still got the chance to fix everything.
But telling him words won't do anything, would it?
"N-no one talked then. Why now? Why now, when danger is in front of you all?"
6:58
Yoo Joonghyuk counts down the times left for it to begin, He didn't care about the terror that's happening in front of him, right there, right now. When suddenly the woman sitting beside him asks,
"H-hey, h-how are you so c-calm? I mean this is…—"
Yoo Joonghyuk turned his head away, didn't listen a single of her words.

7:00
And then, as the 'Tick!' noise resounded out, the world's rules changed. This is the very moment Yoo Joonghyuk had waited for.
[The free service period of the planetary system no. 8612 has concluded.]
[Main Scenario has begun.]
Yoo Joonghyuk stood, a look of anger appeared on his face.
"W-what the fuck was that?!"
"Did you all hear that!?"
Crowds that were focused on the act of terror in front of them, shifted their attention towards the sound of system.
[Channel #B-7623 has opened.]
[Constellations are entering.]
"Heuh, heuh-heuh, heuh-euh…"
The crowd began running towards the next car of the train, away from the figure of the terrorist clutching the explosive as the man's eyes glared at the surroundings.
"Heuh-euh…!"
A giant of a man, with a scraggly beard on his chin; the home-made explosive device clutched in his hand, and the cogged wheel of the lighter turning with pronounced 'tick, tick!', only after someone smacked past his shoulder did he awake to this surreal situation.
The terror has begun.
The lights in the subway went away the next second. The train came to a sudden emergency stop, and the surroundings rapidly filled up with darkness.
Was this really an act of terror? Something that they'd only ever heard about was really happening in South Korea, too? Where should they evacuate to? Should the police be notified? Or…
Dokkaebi. The first time he appeared, someone said so.
At this the door of car 3707 opened wide, and the electricity returned. The woman beside Yoo Joonghyuk muttered, "…Dokkaebi?".
With two small horns and wearing a small straw mat, the strange and fluffy creature was floating in the air. It was too strange to call it a fairy, too evil to call it an angel, and too tranquil to call it a demon.
Thus, it was called a 'dokkaebi'.
[ &아#@!&아#@! … ]
[Ah. Ah. Does this sound good? Ah, I had a hard time because the Korean patch didn't work. Everyone, can you hear my words?]
As a familiar language was being spoken, I could see people's expressions relax.
[Welcome, everyone. Nice to meet you.]
The passengers dilemmas were carefully extinguished by a small CGI- like lump suddenly appearing in mid-air.
[It's getting tiring to make the same introduction over and over again, but… Anyway, this situation isn't a movie shoot nor is it a terror incident… Huh?]
That unknown existence floating in the air observed the situation within the train and broke out into a wide smile.
[What's this? Hahahaha! Dear Constellations, please take a look over here! The scenarios haven't even begun yet, but something entertaining is already underway!]
The Dokkaebi spoke in a languid but cruel tone of voice and laughed.
[I'm already beginning to look forward to this particular car. I pray that you'll all show us an entertaining tale.]
The Dokkaebi flickered his fingers, then a message notification popped up.
[ Main scenario has arrived ]
Type: Main
Difficulty: F
Clear condition: Please kill one or more lifeforms.
Time limit: 30 minutes

And 'hell' began from then.

"…Scenario? What is that?"
The passengers of the car no. 3707 began murmuring after receiving their very first scenario.
Desperate struggles taking place in other locations were then broadcast on the panels in the air – of the scenario where if you didn't kill, you'd be killed instead.
"A g-game… t-this is a game!" The terrorist Choi Han-Gyu was shouting out. "Hahahaha!!"
If Choi Han-Gyu manages to survive, he'll evolve into 'demonic bomber' at a later stage.
[Extremely small number of Constellations are getting interested in Incarnation 'Choi Han-Gyu'.]
Choi Han-Gyu the terrorist. He was Yoo Joonghyuk's first prey, even in the 2nd round.
Choi Han-Gyu pulled out a hammer from his side, and proceeded to hit the back of a middle-aged man's head right next to him. The victim's knees powerlessly buckled.
"I-if I do this…—"
Just as he was hitting the man in front of him, Yoo Joonghyuk jumped out and attacked Choi Han-gyu.
"H-hey—Wh-what are you doi…—!"
Yoo Joonghyuk didn't listen to a single words, all he care about was to finish the scenario as quickly as possible and proceed to the next one.
