PROVE YOUR WORTH
Chapter 003

update coz it's my birthday and my crush hasn't greeted me yet.

Yïen reacted quickly and evaded the attack, her back slamming against the door of the cabin. Luckily for her, he paid her no mind and goes for another person.

Witnessing the massacre in front of her, she banged her fist on the door, "Open up!". No matter how much force she exerts the door wouldn't budge.

[All types of access outside the carriage will be restricted until the scenario is complete.]

Upon hitting the door with additional pressure another message appeared.

[You have killed a living thing.]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]

[You have killed a living thing.]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]
…

Such repeated messages bombarded her ears. She looks at her palm to see ants, she looks at the door to find a chocolate stain on the glass to which the ants are being drawn to.

[You have killed a living thing.]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]

[You have killed a living thing.]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]

Yïen internally laughed heartily at such luck. But that moment of joy did not last long when she felt a cold metal on her skin, specifically on her exposed shoulder.

That psychopath was behind her, threatening her with a sword. She raises her hands up in the air, not daring to make any unnecessary movement.

"You, turn around."

Yïen did as told and witnessed the complicated expression of the man, as if questioning himself if he is seeing things clearly.

"How are you alive?"

"I beg your pardon?" she asked, not really understanding his words, she was alive simply because of luck... and some unknown entity for her sudden reincarnation.

"You're not supposed to be alive."

Yoo Jonghyuk remembers her clearly, white hair and green eyes instead of gold... this lass reminds him of someone he knows well.

Moreover, in his second regression, she died by his hands.

"Should I just kill you now?" he encloses her wrists with one hand and used the other to point his blade on her neck.

[The ace is in great risk. Please choose your next move thoughtfully.]

She was then shown three choices.

[Cry] [Try to Reason] [Fight]

Guisard. What is this?

[At the current moment, the ace has no freedom from the system thus having choices in engaging events such as this one. The ace can stray from the choices by reaching a certain level.]

What the... do you think this is an episode story?

[The system informs the ace that the character Yoo Jonghyuk is still contemplating your fate.]

Yïen quickly analyzes the situation. According to the system, this guy is an important character hence having immense power and strength so fighting him isn't an option.

He's also a character who dispose of 'useless' people and what reason does she have for him to spare her life. So naturally...

[Cry]

Almost immediately, tears streamed down her eyes like a faucet. She, who holds nothing of value, is clearly useless and yet this person is having a second thought whether or not to kill her.

She could think of a few reasons, like love at first sight which is unlikely, a sudden peak of interest, or perhaps and the most plausible explanation... she reminds him of someone.

And she'd take that to her advantage.

She was sobbing, and manipulating her beating to make it seem like she was having trouble. The act gives an illusion of a woman hyperventilating from fear.

"I don't... I don't want to die.."

Yoo Jonghyuk retracted the weapon, letting go of her wrists as well, and she pretended to fall to the ground, not even minding sitting down on a pool of blood.

She clutches her chest where her heart is supposed to be 'hammering' and looks up at him with eyes seeking for mercy, "Please, spare me."

Yïen was even ready to bow down, but that was found to be unnecessary.

"Tch. Someone like you... would not survive the moment you leave this train."

He then averted his gaze. His words literally translates to 'you'll die anyways for being weak so what's the point?'.

Yïen subtly releases a sigh of relief.

"Haaa!" she raises her head to see a bleeding man, supposedly in his late thirties coming at Yoo Jonghyuk with a pipe, where the weapon comes from, she was not sure.

To her surprise, but not really, Yoo Jonghyuk did not even stepped aside or make any kind of movement to avoid the attack, instead he stayed still and took the hit without a sound, not even a wince.

Not only did he not attain any physical damage, the pipe also flew into a random direction, bent. It made a loud sound upon hitting the train's floor, the sound of metal clanking was never a pleasant sound to one's ears but Yïen was in awe.

Main characters really are pretty privileged. Though technically, he isn't the main character of this dimension.

"A-aacckk!" she snapped back to reality at the sound of screams coming from the man. He was begging for his life, much worse than what Yïen did only a few moments ago.

Yoo Jonghyuk was holding him by the back of his neck, and by the looks of it, the head might detach any second, all it takes is a little more squeeze.

"Uwaah! S-save me!"

The man cried, reaching out for Yïen who was in a state of shock about how Yoo Jonghyuk was able to lift the fat man off the ground.

"You can come with me."

That statement stunned Yïen, "R-Really?"

"But," he dropped the person to the ground holding him down with his foot as he slides a pocket knife on the floor towards Yïen, "You are a liability," he says bluntly.

"I don't have time to take care of someone who doesn't know how to survive in this world."

Yïen felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. He continued speaking, "If you're going to follow me, you need to pull your own weight. I don't tolerate weakness here."

'Who says anything about following, this bastard.'

"Pick it up." Yoo Jonghyuk said, pertaining to the knife, "and take this scum's life with it."

[The system recognizes that Yoo Jonghyuk's command goes against the ace's first mission.]

[Mission]

| Do not kill a human being for the entirety of the first main scenario. |

[The system is generating choices for the unexpected mishap.]
