Everyone's reaction was different after the dokkaebi disappeared. Seungbin tried to leave the house, the 10 year old girl was trembling with fear while she was near aunt, while aunt tried to call the police. And Cale, he just stared blankly at the place where the Dokkaebi had disappeared.

Undoubtedly, the novel he had read earlier had now become a reality. But the difference was the setting where the novel was in a train car, while Cale was at home.

"Well, now what should I do?"

Cale stared at the small window in front of him.

[Kill one or more living things]

Cale tilted his head. "Kill living things?"

Suddenly his neck felt itchy. Cale reflexively tapped his itchy nape and felt something small stick to his hand. He then looked at his palms. He could see the bodies of two small mosquitoes, which were the cause of the itch in his nape, now lying helpless.

[You have earned the 'First Kill' award!]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]

"Oh?" Cale was surprised to see the message in front of him, but a split second later he calmed down again. "That's true. Mosquitoes are also living things."

Cale looked down at the corpse of the mosquito that was still in his palm. A smile etched on his handsome face. "Thank you. I'll bury you later."

*(Mosquito: You're welcome. I'm glad I was useful to you, young master. Now I can die in peace.)

Cale kept the two mosquitoes in his shirt pocket. He then scanned the small family in front of him.

Seungbin glanced at his mother in panic. "Mom, what should we do? I can't get out. It feels like there is a barrier."

"Mom, doesn't know either. It's better if we just stay quiet and wait for the police to arrive."

Seungbin stared at his phone, hoping to find some clue as to what was going on. His eyes widened when he found a video on his cellphone. Even the video was also plastered on the tv which was still on. "Mom, look at the TV! The Prime Minister is having a press conference! He says we are facing a first degree disaster!"

Everyone in the room including Cale turned their heads toward the tv.

- "To all the people of South Korea that I love, at this time we have received reports that terrorist activities are taking place in several areas in this country, one of which is in Seoul."

The gist of his speech was simple. The current government will put all its power into fighting the terrorists, and there will be no negotiations with them. Because of this, people are asked to remain calm and continue their activities as usual.

"Where is the president? How come only the Minister is speaking?" Auntie asked who knows while looking at the tv with a worried expression.

"The president said he was dead first."

The aunt turned to her son. "How do you know?"

"I read the comments on my cellphone-"

"Kyaaaaa!!! Mama!!!"

The girl's screams shocked the whole room. Aunt suddenly turned back to the television, causing the child's fear, but she immediately looked away. Seungbin also reflexively dropped his cellphone.

Gunshot after gunshot echoed from the television.

Chiiiiik, there was a deafening noise. Then the blood-red liquid flows over the surface of the camera.
