Kim Dokja connected to Han Donghoon through the messenger but he could hear news about other people through it.
–Han Donghoon: I am on the Yongsan-gu side. There is also Gilyoung.
-Kim Dokja: Gilyoung is there?
–Han Donghoon: Yes.
The location of Kim Dokja's main party was roughly grasped. Lee Hyunsung and Jung Heewon’s positions were also confirmed through Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.
He was a bit curious about what happened to Jung Minseob and Lee Sungkook but it was difficult to care about them.
They had some prior knowledge so they should manage. Lee Jihye… well, Yoo Jonghyuk would take care of it.
-Kim Dokja: For the time being, don’t leave Yongsan. I’ll be there soon. If possible, try contacting other people.
A reply didn’t come back.
Perhaps it had disconnected again. Kim Dokja looked around at the party members and said, “I think we’ll have to cross the river.”
Currently, they were south of the Han River. North of the Han River was Yongsan-gu.
“We have to cross that?” Han Sooyoung asked Kim Dokja with a dumbfounded expression.
It wasn’t strange. Kim Dokja looked at Han River with her.
Flickering shadows could be seen from the swirling water.
The ichthyosaurs that had travelled near Dongho Bridge had once again filled the Han River.
We had been following the river but I never thought of crossing because of them. Kim Dokja though.
“Have you seen Cheonho Bridge? It is broken.”
The ichthyosaur was a 7th-grade monster species.
It wasn’t a problem to hunt but there were too many. It wasn’t just one or two so it would take a few days to deal with all of them. We were going to cross the Han River in such a situation? It was unthinkable.
“We will move along the river. There might be a place that isn’t broken.”
They moved along the river for several hours but an intact bridge couldn’t be found.
Instead, they found a group of wanderers.
Han Sooyoung was going to raise her weapon but Yoo Sangah moved first.
She took the meat out of her backpack, making Han Sooyoung irritated. “What are you doing?”
“The people are hungry.”
“So what? Do you want to share that? Are you crazy? Don’t you know that people are the most dangerous existences in an apocalypse?”
“I can kill all of them if I want.” Han Sooyoung saw killing intent for a moment on Yoo Sangah’s face and shut her mouth. “Therefore, I can save all of them if I want.”
Yoo Sangah took the meat from the monsters and distributed it to the people.
Some people felt sorry and bowed to her.
“Ah, this…”
“It is just leftovers. It doesn’t matter.”
Kim Dokja left Han Sooyoung alone and pulled a yanaspleta stem out of his bag. It wasn’t possible for everyone to become a ‘hunter’ in this world.
By now, there would be a great deal of research about the monster species all over the world.
The man who received the plant from Kim Dokja bowed deeply.
“Ah! Thank you…”
“It’s nothing. Difficulties should be shared.”
Of course, Kim Dokja was essentially a different person from Yoo Sangah. All of his good deeds were planned activities.
[A few people have a great liking towards you.]
[Your understanding of the character ‘Shin Yooin’ has increased.]
[Your understanding of the character ‘Ma Kangcheol’ has increased.]
[New characters have been added to your bookmarks.]
Han Sooyoung said sarcastically, “You’re a fake.”
“…Sometimes I do good things. At least I'm different from them.” Kim Dokja said and pointed at the other side.
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is impressed with your good deed.]
[400 coins have been sponsored.]
There’s another group of people giving some food and distributing it to others while showing something from their camera or smartphone.
“Have you seen our Godly Idols?” Some fans members asked.
“Do you know, Our Godly Idols, especially Cale-nim will give his blessings to everyone who has faith in him. Look at our members, we’re able to survive because of their blessings. Don’t get fooled by others, fake gods. If you don’t believe, we have the videos as our proof...” Another member started preaching to the other wanderers.
“Did you say Cale-nim?! Like the Great Supermodel Cale Henituse-nim?!” Some survivors' eyes turned like a hungry predators when they heard about Cale Henituse's name.
That part became chaotic as they started to get more crazy cultist members from the survivors.
Kim Dokja feels chills as he thinks about Cale’s influence in the ‘Ways of Survival’. He realized that those crazy cultist members that he read about before were recruited like this.
But some strange things happened.
[Some constellations satisfied with your praises for the ‘Godly Idols’.]
[500 coins have been sponsored.]
[Some constellations like your story about the ‘Godly Idols’.]
[1000 coins have been sponsored.]
They started their discussions about them and earn coins.
At first, Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung seem to want to try what they are doing.
But after looking at how crazy their discussions are, they decided to stop and turn their face to the other side and looked at Yoo Sangah.
Han Sooyoung grumbled as she watched Yoo Sangah, “Damn, she is like a woman from a novel.”
Kim Dokja agreed with her words. Yoo Sangah was like the heroine of a novel even before the fall of the world. Now that reality had become a novel…
From among the crowd, a child approached Kim Dokja. She was a young girl around the same age as Gilyoung.
“What is it?”
The girl who bowed had a Western look. Her eyes were bright and her face was full of an exotic cuteness. The child bowed 90 degrees towards Kim Dokja.
“Thank you.”
She was a very polite child. Kim Dokja looked around but didn’t see anyone who looked like this child’s parents.
The child noticed Kim Dokja's gaze and said, “They aren’t here anymore.”
“Both of them?” The child nodded.
Kim Dokja was a bit confused. A child without a guardian survived alone until the fifth scenario. It was almost impossible in Ways of Survival except for some conditions...But there are seven of them with Cale’s group.
…Wait a minute? The moment Kim Dokja used Character List, the child spoke again, “Then I’ll be going.”
Did she come just to thank me? Kim Dokja tried to grab the child and reflexively looked back at Han Sooyoung. She happened to be looking elsewhere.
“…Be careful.”
It would soon be dark. Kim Dokja worried for a moment before summoning the party members together.
“We will rest here today.”
They looked for a place to sleep. Han River was cold even when we lit a fire, so we decided to use a partially destroyed building.
Han Sooyoung became firmly determined and warned Yoo Sangah.
“Just watch. Those people from earlier will be back. Didn’t you see them covet our weapons? They will clearly bite the hand that fed them.”
Han Sooyoung declared that all humans were wicked and trash who would repay goodness with malice.
Kim. Dokja carefully looked at Yoo Sangah who said, “Not every person in the apocalypse is bad.”
“No, they are all bad. Almost everyone is bad.”
One hour passed.
“They’ll come soon. Then you will be crying.”
Two hours passed.
“Um, they are patient people.”
Three hours passed.
“…Is this possible?”
Finally, four hours later, noises started to be heard outside.
Yoo Sangah’s expression darkened and Han Sooyoung smiled with satisfaction.
“Look, what did I say?”
Han Sooyoung had just taken out her weapon when someone entered the building.
“H-Hello?”
Han Sooyoung stopped as she was about to get up.
The one who came was a young girl. It was the child who politely thanked Kim Dokja during the day.
The little red-eyed child held something out.
“T-This…”
It was a blanket.
She must’ve grabbed it from the area because she was afraid we were cold.
Han Sooyoung made a surprised expression while Yoo Sangah looked blank. In the apocalypse, goodwill wasn’t always repaid with malice.
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is making a loving smile.]
[2,000 coins have been sponsored.]
Yoo Sangah acted as the representative of the party. “Thank you, I’ll use it well.”
“Yes…” She looks around as if looking for something.
“By the way, are you alone? It is dangerous to wander around at night.”
“It is the same everywhere. The group from before also said that.”
“The group from before?” Kim Dokja asked.
“Yes..., yesterday we meet with a group of people that give us food and blankets. They are a group of four men and eight children. I thought that they were from the same group. But it seems to be different.”
Hmm, is that the suspicious group that those cultist members talk about? Should I try to meet them? Kim Dokja thought about the identity of the mysterious group.
Yoo Sangah’s expression darkened at the words. “Would you like to stay with us?”
“Huh?”
“It will be fine if you are with us.”
Yoo Sangah looked at Kim Dokja like she was asking for permission.
However, the child’s answer was faster. “I don’t want to be a nuisance.”
It happened when the child was trying to run away.
A flag flew from somewhere and fell in front of the child’s feet.
The frightened child feel down and Han Sooyoung’s scathing voice followed.
“Wait a minute. You can’t leave.”
“What are you doing right now?” Yoo Sangah looked at Han Sooyoung and spoke in a cold voice.
However, Han Sooyoung was looking at Kim Dokja.
“Kim Dokja, don’t you know what to do? Isn’t that why you wanted to sleep here?”
Kim Dokja slowly closed his eyes. Damn, she had noticed… It was a miscalculation. I didn’t know this person could use Detect Attributes.
Han Sooyoung asked, “Ah, are you going to act as a hypocrite? Is it because the other person is a child?”
“…”
“The other person is a child? Then the villain must solve it.”
Han Sooyoung approached and Yoo Sangah blocked the way.
“Stop.”
“Get out of the way. Do you want me to kill you?”
“Why are you killing an ordinary kid all of a sudden?”
“An ordinary kid?” Han Sooyoung laughed and pointed towards the child.
“I told you to stop.” At the same time, Yoo Sangah’s dagger pointed at Han Sooyoung’s neck.
Then Han Sooyoung summoned dozens of avatars. Han Sooyoung grumbled.
“Kim Dokja, explain it quickly. Before I turn around and kill everyone.”
It ended up like this. Kim Dokja sighed and opened his mouth. “This child…”
The child looked up at Kim Dokja with innocent eyes and he felt a sense of urgency.
“…Five days later, she will destroy Seoul.”
Yoo Sangah’s eyes shook.
If Han Sooyoung hadn’t found out, Kim Dokja might’ve let it pass by but now it couldn’t be helped. This damn scenario never gave us the happy endings we wanted.
[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is smiling.]
[Many constellations are interested in the development of this scenario.]
It had been a long time since the messages of the constellations seemed so hateful.
“This child is the last disaster of the fifth scenario.”
That night, the child didn’t die.
Yoo Sangah didn’t want to kill her and Kim Dokja agreed.
“Do what you want.” Han Sooyoung muttered and left in a huff, leaving only Yoo Sangah and Kim Dokja in the abandoned building.
The child was temporarily frozen with Hit a Pressure Point.
Yoo Sangah stroked the sleeping child’s hair and spoke in a dark voice. “She is a disaster?”
“Yes.”
“Dokja-ssi, do you know this with your ability?”
“It is something similar.”
Kim Dokja recalled a sentence from Ways of Survival.
「 The final disaster of the fifth scenario. The Disaster of Floods is the most dangerous and saddest disaster. 」
Yoo Sangah bit her lips and asked, “Is she the same as the Disaster of Questions?”
“It is similar but a bit different.”
The Disaster of Floods. If she used all her strength, she would be an unmatched disaster compared to the Disaster of Questions.
The Disaster of Questions would just affect Gangdong-gu but the Disaster of Floods was different. With her power, Seoul would be wiped out in less than an hour.
“No matter how I look, she doesn’t seem like a disaster. Can this kid become a disaster in just five days?” Yoo Sangah wondered.
In fact, Yoo Sangah was right. Right now, the child wasn’t a disaster.

Shin Yoosung. This child’s name showed that she was a disaster. This child would destroy Seoul in five days.
Yoo Sangah said, “I heard that disasters hatch from meteorites. Yet this child didn’t come from a meteorite…”
“That’s correct. This child didn’t hatch from a meteorite. She was born and raised on Earth. She will still be a human of Earth in five days.”
“Then why…”
“The Disaster of Questions was originally from Earth.”
Yoo Sangah’s eyes widened. “This child is like the Disaster of Questions…”
“Yes and no.”
“Huh?” Yoo Sangah was confused because of Kim Dokja's answer.
All disasters from Earth were returnees. They were destroyers who wiped out another world and returned.
This child could be called a returnee because she destroyed Chronos. However, that wasn’t all.
Among the five disasters of Chronos, this child was special. She was also the most dangerous.
“The one who will cause the disaster isn’t this child, but her future self.”
“Her future self?”
“This child came back from decades in the future to finish off Earth.”
The sweet and innocent child would become one of the most terrible disasters in this world in the future.
“That is why Han Sooyoung said to kill this child. If we kill this child now, we can eliminate her ‘future’.”
A disaster that even Yoo Jonghyuk couldn’t stop.
_________________________________________________________
Around the same time when the members of the fan that follow Kim Dokja meet the survivors and give them food (while preaching), Kim Roksoo (Cale) and his group are moving along the Han River.
“What happened, Dongsaeng?” Lee Soo Hyuk (Alberu) suddenly asked Kim Roksoo (Cale) beside him who suddenly act strange.
“Nothing, I just suddenly felt chills on my back.” Kim Roksoo (Cale) answered.
- Did that damn God do something to you? 🐲
- Should we XXX those damn Gods and XX them so they won’t annoy you again? 💧
- But it might be that group of dokkaebis is trying to do something to you. 🌪
- Or the constellations. 🪨
- Won’t they give us more coins? Kekekeke, more money is better. 🔥
So noisy. Kim Roksoo (Cale) though.
But before he said anything there was a noise that come closer to them.
“I think it was a group of people coming closer to our direction.” Choi Jung Soo (Choi Han) said to warn the group.
“Did you say they are going in this direction?”
[Your sponsor nods his head.]
[Some constellations said they are close.]
“There is someone there!”
“What!? Let me go and ask them!”
“I am also interested in them. My sponsor said that they know Cale-nim when he was still working as a supermodel. Is there any behind-the-scenes story that he knows about?”
“Maybe some love secrets stories with Alberu-nim or Choi Han-nim...”
“That’s dangerous. Ugh...”
As the group got closer to their direction, they could start hearing their conversation.
Kim Roksoo (Cale) feel headaches as he tries his best to leave them with Kim Dokja as he doesn’t want to get any attention from the constellations or dokkaebis. But in the end, they still found their location.
At least they don’t know about our identity. I only have to make them go in the other direction. Kim Roksoo (Cale) think as he knows that even dokkaebis are unable to find out their identity right now.
Rustle.
The sound of the rustling of the grass is so close. But they already know the identity of the incoming group of people.
That’s why they just looking at the direction of the group of people.
“Ah, finally. Hmm, you’re the one who meets Cale-nim’s group, right?”
The first fans members who arrive at their place quickly asked her question.
“Yes, our group met with them and they asked us to take care of the children for them because they might get into a dangerous situation.” Lee Soo Hyuk (Alberu) answered with a smile.
It was different from his usual sunshine-bright smile as it had a cool adult feeling to it.
The fans members who asked the question were stunned for a while.
“What happened? What the....!?”
The person behind her was surprised at her reaction but she also have the same reaction when she saw what she was looking for.
“Hmm, Wow! Although it was not as mind-blowing as Cale-nim’s group, they are also quite eye-catching. Why do no one have ever asked them to be a celebrity? Or at least why no one has their photos before?” Another member said.
“Is there a bargain sale for a handsome man after the scenario started? If people get handsome because of it, why doesn’t it start earlier?” Another member said.
“For some reason, I feel that he has the same eye colour as Cale-nim’s. And he feels a bit like Cale-nim when I first saw him. Is he his distant relative?” Hyun Ji-Hu muttered as she get a strange feeling as a writer.
“That person has similar feelings to Choi Han-nim, is he also their distant relative?” Another member wonders.
“Ah! Baek-ah is also here! Let’s ask him about Cale-nim's whereabouts.”
More and more people come to their direction with their different goals and intentions.
But all of them will only bring more headaches to Cale and his group.

Author’s note: I’m lacking of inspiration to write lately. Maybe because there’s a lot of work lately. I also helped someone to write an original story on webnovel to look for some inspiration. Do you have any ideas?
Thank you for reading, votes and comments. I hope you enjoy the story and have a wonderful week. GBU.
