"Everyone. Calm yourselves and take deep breaths." Alora was snapped out of her thoughts.
"P-private Hyeonseong Lee. Did not copy, sir!"
"Y-you sons of bitches!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, mom!"
"It wasn't me! Why won't you believe me! I would never!"
"No!! Please! Stop! Dad! It's my fault! It's because of me! Just please stop!"
"Stop it! Let him go! Hit me instead! You're going to kill him at this rate!"
"Dokja? Alora?" Alora's and Dokja's head snapped to Sangah before Dokja looked at Alora.
"Do you think you could cover me while I destroy this zone?" They both nod and form a circle, back to back. The red fog disbursed.
"O-our oath! One! We are soldiers of the Army of Republic of Korea with a duty to faithfully serve our nation and our fellow citizens!"
"Ugh... M-mom..."
"Stop! D-dad! Please...! Stop!"
"I've never done anything like that! I've always tried my best to live up to you! I never would have done it, on purpose or not!"
"Everyone get a hold of yourself!"
"Wake up!" Slowly, Aaron and Huiwon got up and charged at Alora and Dokja. Huiwon dashed at Dokja with her sword but Dokja dodged just in time. Aaron on the other hand tried to kick the right side of Alora's face. Alora stopped the kick with her outer forearm.
"I'm going to kill you all."
"You're going to die for what you've done." They said in sync. Dokja quickly hit the back of Huiwon's neck, knocking her out. Alora grabbed Aaron's foot to try and stop his movement. However Aaron repositioned his foot, facing upwards. He leaned forward launching his other foot onto Alora's stomach, using the momentum to backflip out of Alora's grip and getting some distance between him and her.
"Ow! What the fuck!" Alora said, holding her stomach. Aaron lunged at her again, trying to punch her. Alora dodged, twisting her upper half so she could see Aaron's arm. She grabbed his arm then maneuvered herself so his arm was on her shoulder, her back facing him then threw him over her shoulder.
Even on the ground he tried to kick her, so Alora moved back. Aaron got back up. This time, Alora was the one launching at him. She tried to punch him but he blocked her with his hand and then she uppercut him. He let go of her hand and stumbled backwards holding his chin, leaving his neck exposed.
Alora dashed at him and using the space between her thumb and pointer finger hit him in the throat. He coughed a bit before he fell forward. Alora caught him before he hit the ground. She let out a breath of relief. Suddenly she felt pain in her stomach. She stumbled and fell backwards, pushing Aaron off her. As she braced herself for the fall, it was a lot softer than she thought. Opening her eyes, she sees Dokja.
"Hey." Dokja said, smiling teasingly.
"Hey." She said back.
"Are you okay?"
"Is she okay? The real question is "Is Aaron okay?" You really did a number on him." Darwin said, looking at Aaron.
"Did you already kill the specters?" Alora asked, ignoring Darwin.
"Yea, I did."
"Sorry to interrupt you lovebirds, but do I have to remind you that most of our group is out of commission and we should probably help them?" Darwin said, dragging Aaron to a better place to sit.
"Sorry I'm too tired to move."
"Well you can't just lie down in the middle of the railway."
"Then how about you carry me to a better place." Dokja blushes a little bit.
"Aw~ Are you embarrassed?" Dokja suddenly got up and carried her princess style. Since it was so sudden, Alora was caught off guard.
"Who's embarrassed now?"
"I hate you so much." She said as Dokja let her down. Christia soon woke up and ran to Alora.
"Are you okay?" She shakes her head no.
"There, there. It's okay. You're going to be fine." Alora said, comforting her. After a while Christia starts to cry in Alora's arms. A bright light came from one side of the railway.
"Who are you people? Don't you know that these hunting grounds belong to us?"
"Oh! She's-!"
"Huh? Did you defeat the specters? How!? Only the master knows how to defeat them!"
"Well not anymore." Alora said slyly. The girl looks at Alora and points.
"You!"
"Me?"
"You're Alora, right?"
"How did you know?"
"Master said you stole his sword and told me to bring you to him. Follow me. I'll take you guys to the station." They all set off. (Aaron is on Darwin's back btw)

'Since the scenarios are becoming more large-scale, there are a lot more dokkaebi channels opening.'
"Hey, little samurai. You've brought newbies."
"Yeah. Have you been drinking again?"
"Hahahaha, what else is there to do when the world is in ruins?"
"Did your friends come from Dongguk University? I'm impressed. You must have learned a few coins along the way."
"What's your name, little miss? I know of a cheap room, do you want it?" one of the men asked Sangah. Alora steps in between them.
"No thank you. She won't be needing a room."
"Quit pestering the newbies and get upstairs."
"They've got to learn someday, we do this to make a living-" he was cut off as she took out her blade and pointed it at his neck.
"If you value your life." she finishes.
"I've done my part. You're on your own from now. I don't want to babysit you."
"Hey. Junghyeok Yu is here too, right?" She whipped around.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Junghyeok Yu's companion who has returned alive."
"A companion? I don't believe you."
"He'll know who I am if you tell him that. Where is he now?"
"Master isn't here right now."
"This isn't good. I have a message for him."
"..."
*Yawn*
'Holy shit. I'm so fucking tired right now.'
"You're friends with Mr. Junghyeok Yu?" A guy asked excitedly.
"We're really good friends." Alora answers for him.
"Wait, where's Junghyeok?"
"Were you even listening?"
"No, I was very much not listening."
"Jihye said that he's not here right now and she went to go get him."
"Oh."
๏ธถ๊ฆ๊ทโก๊ท๊ฆ๏ธถ
"And so that's how Mr Junghyeok Yu became the leader of our group."
*Yawn*
*Yawn* Both Dokja and Alora yawn at the same time.
"Um, are you listening?"
"Yeah... I guess."
"No."
"So Junghyeok appeared around 3 days ago and saved you and Jihye from a pack of monsters. That's the gist of the story, right?"
"Well, if you put it that way, I guess it's not that complicated."
"Why would it be complicated in the first place?" Alora muttered to herself.
"Well it's a little embarrassing to say, but a number of people here rely on Jihye to provide food for us. Jihye hunts monsters and then asks Mr Junghyeok Yu to cook them."
"Why are you taking notes?" Alora and Dokja ask.
"What about drinking water?"
"We make trades with the landlord Coalition using food and coins."
"The landlord coalition?" Alora saw Aaron move around and wake up.
"Ugh. I feel like I've been hit by a bus."
"Close, you were hit by Alora." Darwin said, chiming in.
"That's not the point, are you okay?"
"No. My chin and throat hurt."
"What about your back?" Darwin asked with a smirk.
"Now that you mention it, my back hurts a lot too."
"Guys, we're going to the washroom." Dokja said getting up.
"Kk."
๏ธถ๊ฆ๊ทโก๊ท๊ฆ๏ธถ
"Hey. The newbies from earlier! Did you come to look for a room?"
"Oh, excuse us. We just came to use the bathroom."
"What a pity. Be careful up there."
'Pig.' Alora thought.
'I guess I could read here. I don't really remember what happened in the early stages of orv.' Alora patted her pocket only to find nothing.
'!! Where's my phone!?' Dokja saw her panic.
"What's wrong?"
"I-it's nothing..." It shocked Dokja that Alora had stuttered.
'Shit! What am I supposed to do!? I'm only on chapter 12 of 3wtsta and I mostly skipped the Chungmuro arc because I didn't like it. Not to mention I don't remember anything that happened after the Chungmuro arc either!' She was abruptly snapped out of her thoughts because of Hyeonseong.
"Oh? Why are people gathered over there?" Hyeonseong asked.
"The bathroom is just past them." Gilyeong and Christia dash toward the crowd.
"Gilyeong, wait!"
"Christia! I told you to stop running off!" Alora suddenly sees the green square turn red.
'Shit!' She quickly runs over to them.
"Who are these brats?"
"O-oh no!"
"E-everyone back up! Quickly!" the crowd shuffles back away from the two kids.
"Hmm... you seem to be lost. Do you know where you are right now?"
"Isn't this the way to the bathroom?"
"The bathroom? Yeah, it used to be. But where are your parents?"
"What?"
"Didn't your parents ever tell you not to trespass?"
"All my dad did was beat me up."
"..."
"..."
"Why would you say that!?" Gilyeong asked, turning to Christia.
"He asked!"
"You two seem clueless right now... so I'll teach you a valuable life lesson." he said, grabbing Gilyeong's head. Alora finally steps up.
"Would you let him go?" she asked, gripping his wrist.
"You must be their guardian. Then you can pay me instead. 1000 coins for both of them."
"Fine I'll pay him but I only pay him in person. You are not Pildu Gong." Alora snapped and Gilyeong and Christia started to float.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
You have trespassed
onto private property!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"Make sure to catch them." she said before snapping again. This time the two fell but Dokja and Darwin caught them.
"Hey! What about my coins!?"
"I said I'd only paid to the real Pildu Gong. Isn't that right, Jincheol Kim?"
"!!"
"Let's see... It's you!" Alora said, looking at the balding man on the bench reading a magazine.
"I haven't seen you around here before yet you've got quite the nerve."
"Why should I be nervous when I'm just here to do what needs to be done?"
"Oh?"
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Pildu Gong has begun to
take an interest in you.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
'Ew.'
"A smartass, I see. Don't get too cocky. So, what business do you have with me? It doesn't seem like you're here just to pay me."
"What else would a tenant want from a landlord?"
"So, you want a room?"
"Yep. I want you to let my friend and I stay in your greenzone."
"We don't take tenants who aren't part of the landlord coalition. Unless you want to pay us 500 coins each daily."
'Greedy bitch.'
"How about some intel?"
"What intel?"
"Some secrets about the world we live in now or I don't know... maybe... Junghyeok?"
"Junghyeok Yu? You mean that bastard who caused a ruckus a while back...?"
"You brat! How do you know him?!"
"Don't call me a brat, I'm older than you."
"Pildu! This girl is suspicious."
"How do you know Junghyeok yu?"
"We're friends. He even let me have his sword."
"But when I saw him he already had a sword?"
"That's probably his new one. Well, the point is that he's a very close friend of mine. You don't have much to lose anyway."
"I do have something to lose. You could be trying to con me for all I know. Don't underestimate me, you brat. From my experience, it's people like you that always run off without paying their rent."
"If we're talking from experience, I've never really had to pay rent since I've always just immediately bought the house. But whatever, it's your loss." Alora shrugged, turning around to leave.
"Where do you think you're going? You still need to pay me."
"How much was it?"
"1500 for both of the brats and you."
"That's a rip-off, I'm not going to pay for that."
"All right, don't say I didn't warn you. Die." He said as one of his turrets powered up.
"Alora!" She heard multiple people yell. Alora confidently stood in front of the turret's blast range. Just as it fired, Hyeonseong stood in front of her and took the hit.
"Thanks Hyeonseong."
"It's a problem that I don't know if I can take another blast." he said shakily.
"As much as I would love to fight you, I don't think we should continue because neither of us have anything to gain from it. So it's not really a wise decision."
"Why is that?"
"Because if you do, you're going to die where you're sitting right now." Both Alora and Pildu looked at Junghyeok, who had just arrived.
"Master, It's them! That's the man who claimed to be a friend of yours! Also the girl who stole your sword!" Junghyeok finally took note of us.
"Hey Junghyeok."
"What's up Junghyeok."
"It seems that these people don't believe that we're friends. Could you talk to them for us?"
"I-"
"And it would be great if you could make them let us use the washroom."
"Pff-!" Dokja covered his mouth and turned away.
"Did she talk over him?"
"She talked over the master."
"Alora. Wasn't Mr. Junghyeok just about to..." Junghyeok started to unsheathe his sword.
"I hope you're not unsheathing your sword to hit me because we all know what happened last time."
Sorry for not updating recently. Unfortunately I've had trouble getting motivation to write so I'm going in a small hiatus. I'll be back in a couple of weeks.
