and the inside of the train went dark.
Kiiiiiiiik-! The subway shook violently and let out a metallic sound. It caused Yoo Sangah to scream and grab my arm. Then I heard the voices of others stirred. Yoo Sangah gripped my arm so tightly that I paid more attention to the pain in my left arm than to suddenly stop. It took a dozen seconds for the train to stop completely.
Then I heard a confused voice coming from everywhere.
“Eh, what?”
“A-What is this?”
In the dark, one or two smartphone lights are on. Yoo Sangah was still holding my left hand tightly as she asked, “A-What happened?”
I pretended not to care. “Do not worry. It's not a big deal.”
“Yes, it's probably a nuisance from suicide. Engineer will make an announcement soon.”
When I finished speaking, I heard the engineer's announcement, - Notifying all the passengers on the train. Tell all passengers on the train.
The harsh environment becomes quiet. I sighed and opened my mouth, “See, it's no big deal. Now an apology will be on the air, and the power will be back on ..”
- E-Everybody ran .. Run …!
‘What?’
There was a beep, and the broadcast was turned off. The inside of the train was falling apart.
“D-Dokja-ssi? What is this ..?”
A bright light flashed from the front of the subway. There was a loud drum followed by an explosion. Something's headed this way in the dark. It was just a coincidence that I saw the clock at this time — 7:00 p.m.
Check, it feels like the world stopped. Then I heard a voice:
[Free service of planetary system 8612 has been terminated. ]
[The main scenario has begun. ]
This is when my life genre changed.
[2] -ssi: -ssi ( ⁇ ) is the most commonly used honor among people with approximately the same level of speech.
[3] The author uses the name of the previous novel and the name of the author, but with slight changes. I decided to use the name of the actual translation of the novel while keeping the name of a different author for each fan of the novel
[4] Sangah \= ivory
[5] Nim ( ⁇ ) is the highest form of honor and above - ssi.
Dokkaebiu. The first time he showed up, someone said so. 」[1]
I don't know why but the sentence suddenly popped into my head. The subway stops, the dark room .. This detail gives me a sense of deja vu. The subway had stopped before, but that was rare. Even so, why? I remember familiar words from a novel. Isn't that impossible?
At this time, the door of the 3807 car was wide open, and the electricity was back. Yoo Sangah muttered beside me, “.... Dokkaebi?”
My head's ringing. I tremble uneasily as the novels I know and the reality before me overlap.
「With two small horns and wearing a small straw mat, the strange and delicate creature was floating in the air. 」
「Too weird to call her a fairy, too evil to call her an angel, and too quiet to call her a demon. 」
「 So, it is called ‘dokkkaebi. 」
And I already know the first thing dokkaebi will say.
「& 아 # @! & 아 # @! . . . 」
[& 아 # @! & 아 # @! . . . . ]
Fiction and reality overlap.
“What is this?”
“Augmented reality?”
Amidst the people chatting, I was thrown into another world alone. This is definitely the dokkaebi — dokkaebi that opens the door to tragedy for thousands of people in Ways of Survival.
