𝐈𝐗 years have passed since Cale was reborn in this world, she became friends with Yoo Joonghyuk. In truth, he is the one who asked to become friends, which surprised Cale a bit.

And during those years, the two became closer. Where Cale went, Yoo Joonghyuk followed, and there were even people who thought the two of them were a couple but they were not because Cale is dense.

And Cale didn't care about any of this as long as it didn't bother her.

Kim A-Rin, her guardian is currently busy with work. Cale simply stayed at home doing whatever she wanted, rather she was enjoying her Slacker Life.

The days when Cale and Kim A-Rin lived together like mother and daughter made her feel a little strange. In particular, her gaurdian always enticed her to do physical activities like jogging, took her shopping, and helped Cale have more outside contact.

At first Cale thought this was very annoying, but after being pulled away many times, she gradually got used to it.

As for the woman who took care of her as time passed, Cale didn't know when he opened his heart to her even though she still kept a stoic expression on her face.

'Maybe I haven't felt this feeling in a long time' That's what she thought. Looking at Kim A-Rin who was by her side during that time, Cale just smiled slightly.

'This life may not be so bad'

That's what she thought.

'Hoping to be loved is what everyone wants' Cale thought indifferently 'But not everything in this world lasts forever'.

Standing in front of a picture of a woman placed around beautifully decorated flowers standing in front of her deceased loved ones. The mourning lasted long before a girl were standing facing picture melancholy.

Cale Henituse is 20 years old.

Cale looked at the photos without shedding any tears and without any sadness in them. Cale knew from the beginning that she couldn't cry, because she didn't have any emotions. But he didn't know that her hand was shaking and was held by someone.

She looked at the person holding her hand. Yoo Joonghyuk did that to comfort her. When he learned of Cale's Ahjumma's passing, Yoo Joonghyuk went to Cale's funeral so that she would no longer feel the pain of her passing.

Faced with Yoo Joonghyuk's grip, Cale just kept it that way as she responded to his grip.

"It's okay" Cale looked at Yoo Joonghyuk in silence but she also nodded as if to say thank you.

3 months have passed since Kim A-Rin's death, Cale began to pack her belongings, clothes and other necessary items to prepare to leave for another country.

Before leaving, she informed Yoo Joonghyuk.

|𝐈'𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨, 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲. 𝐖𝐞'𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.|

Specifically like that. And to her recived is |𝐘𝐞𝐬| from him.

Regarding money, it's not a problem because Cale's family left her a lot of money, even Kim A-Rin's money left her.

'Looks like I have to prepare. I have 8 more years', Cale sat inside the taxi she had called in advance and ordered to go towards the airport.

'I hope Yoo Joonghyuk will be okay' Cale thought.

𝐘𝐎𝐎 𝐉𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐊 was currently live streaming.

He was streaming about the same game as usual while ignoring the chat comments.

All types of games that he plays and live streams are very famous. Especially his handsome face shown during live stream.

When the live stream finished, Yoo Joonghyuk sighed tiredly. This job was very easy for him, especially since he had to earn money to support himself and his sister.

He got out of his chair and started changing. It was 3 a.m., he was lying in bed looking up at the ceiling.

Yoo Joonghyuk remembered the previous days, but what he remembered was the color red.

It refers to one person, and that person is his childhood friend.

Especially the first day we met, and being together since childhood

Staring at him with big, sparkling reddish-brown eyes, her waist-length red hair reflected the sunlight making it shine, a gentle smile on her face.

His heart beat strangely and quickly, not noticing his ears turning red.

He remembered the text message she sent before going to another country. Especially the last phrase.

|𝐖𝐞'𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧|

Yoo Joonghyuk smiled, "I hope I will see you again."

"𝐕𝐈𝐈𝐈 years have passed..." Cale mumbled to herself.

Cale returned home 2 months ago, specifically needing to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse.

And during those 8 years, Cale also had to temporarily stop communicating with Yoo Joonghyuk. Currently Cale is at another station and she is outside another station waiting for a taxi to pick her up.

'The apocalypse is about to begin' Cale looked at his phone. "It's 6:57 minutes. 3 minutes left," she breathed a bit.

Onmiscient Reader's Viewpoint

If she was in that book, then "that" was about to happen.

'7:00. It's started'

Suddenly everything around the area began to shake like there was an earthquake.

Explosions were heard in all areas. The sky has become darker than before.

'That's just great... If I didn't have that memory, I wouldn't have been prepared for this situation' Cale frowned and groaned in discomfort.

[# Channel BI-7623 open]

[The constellation has entered]

From somewhere, a giant looking fluff ball appeared. Introducing itself as a Dokkaebi whilst the people panic.

In this panic situation, Cale ignored everything and focused on her thoughts.

'If it's already started, the main character is in the subway. Luckily I was at another station. I have to get away from the main character as quickly as possible...'

Yes, Cale did not want to get into their trouble nor did she like her fate in it.

Especially it talks about Yoo Joonghyuk's lover. Cale sighed for the nth time.

'But I'm in Round 3 so he probably doesn't know me. Even if I become his childhood friend in this round'. It's true, Yoo Joonghyuk didn't know his lover since childhood until they met as adults in Round 1.

But she had that goosebumps feeling. Her senses are not wrong.

'Surely so...right?' Cale's thoughts stopped when she saw the blue screen in front of her.

[The main scenario has arrived!]

---------------------------------------------------------

[Main Scenario #1 - Proof of Value]

--------------------------------------------------------

Look at the scenario ahead. Fortunately, Cale had two grasshoppers so she didn't need to kill anyone.

She picked up a grasshopper and crushed it.

[You have achieved the feat of 'first kill']

[100 coins have been obtained as additional compensation.]

[You have killed 501 sentient beings.]

[Kill history: one grasshopper, 40000 eggs]

[You have killed a living creature that can't fight back, the number of coins you earn will be reduced by half.]

[35,800 coins have been obtained!]

[You have a total of 35,800 coins!]

[The achievement of 'mass murder' has been earned through overkill.]

Huh, Cale wished it had a little more coins.

Suddenly she saw a little girl standing awkwardly in this situation.

Cale frowned. Who would leave a child alone on a train station? She clicked her tongue in annoyance.

Seeing this little girl reminded her of the children in her Third Life. Cale is soft-hearted towards children. Furthermore, she thinks this girl will be useful to her in the future, so she will need this girl.

Just found out she still has another grasshopper. Cale walked over to the girl and bent down to face the girl who was looking at her in confusion and worry.

"You don't need to worry. I'll help you, trust me, okay?" The girl calmed down little but was still skeptical. Cale pointed towards the screen.

"Do you see what it says? It says |Kill one or more creatures|, so..." Cale opened the girl's hand and the grasshopper fell into her palm. "Crush it and you will be safe".

The little girl heard what she said without hesitation, nodded and crushed the grasshopper as she said.

[You have kill one living being!]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation]

Cale smiled at the girl then stood up and looked around, 'It looks like time is running out' She looked at the time on the screen. 25 minutes left.

She looked thể people hestitan for 10 minute, and they start kill eachother. Cale didn't care as she hoped that her and the little girl being ignored.

Suddenly someone grabbed the girl's hand. Before that person could speak, Cale's face turned darked...

WHOOSH

That guy's neck was slit in a long way, a lot of blood spurted out of him, the guy hugged his neck in pain and fell down dead.

[You have kill one living being!]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation]

Cale quickly covered the girl's eyes so she could not see this scene as she held her sword in hand, coldly looking at the dead man.

[Most of constellation admires and enjoys your actions]

[Most of constellation lovestuck your beauty]

[Most of constellation liked your actions with that girl just now]

People around her saw this scene and were immediately scared. Cale coldly looked at them meaning, "Try touching me and this girl", of course no one dared to do it.

Everyone now started killing each other, but no one dared to touch the other two. Cale found this satisfying.

Minutes passed, no one could kill anyone so they exploded and died, leaving only two people left. Cale and the girl looked in silence.

[Wow, looks like we have these two survivors. Especially the red-haired girl. Constellations, do you like it?]

Cale didn't care what that Dokkaebi said, "Are you okay?" She looked at the trembling child and nodded, "I-I'm fine. Thank you" Looking at the trembling girl, Cale rubbed her head to comfort her and make the child feel safe.

That Dokkaebi clicked it hand.

[Survivors of the train station: Cale Henituse, Yoo Rubi]

Cale looked at the screen, thinking.

'Seem like Yoo Joonghyuk has been doing fine now' She thoughtfully.

Meanwhile at somewhere far away....

"I know how to save Cale." The man struggled to speak as he smirked at the person choked him.

Mentioning Cale's name, the figure flinched and glared at him further.

"Don't mention her name with your dirty mouth and answer my question. Will I let you go or... not?".

The man smiled.

"Get off me you bastard and piss off!"

At the man's word, the figure smirked a crazed expression and threw the man of the bridge.

"I believe you... you are definitely a prophet. But mention her name again... I shall end you with my own sword"

[The constellation "Secrective Plotter" is frowning at this scene]
