Chapter 77
The Deceiver (3)
A few seconds after the scenario ended, the group hurried back.
They had witnessed the sub-scenario with their own eyes, and when Arthur's name appeared as the target, they rushed over without a second thought. But despite their urgency, they arrived too late… everything had already ended before they returned.
As they approached the meeting point—
{The sub-scenario has ended}
The moment the window appeared, their blood froze in their veins.
One single thought dominated them all:
Someone had completed the scenario… and Arthur had truly been killed.
Yi Hyeon ran as fast as he could, his heart pounding violently, his thoughts in chaos, fear gnawing at his chest with every step.
The group finally arrived.
Their gazes darted around frantically.
Kim Dokja was standing, speaking with Yoo Joonghyuk, the two exchanging sharp words as usual, while Lee Jihye stood beside her master, calm yet alert.
With trembling eyes, they searched for Arthur.
Then they found him.
He was sitting near the wall, his back resting against it, eyes closed, immersed in quiet meditation as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, the group let out a breath of relief.
Color returned to their faces, and the suffocating fear receded.
The companions gathered around Kim Dokja, bombarding him with questions, demanding an explanation for what had happened in their absence.
He didn't tell them the full truth.
He simply said, in a restrained tone,
that the constellations had created a sub-scenario, placed a penalty and a reward on Arthur,
and that Arthur had been forced to fight around fifty people…
and as a result, they now had six empty rooms.
{The main scenario will begin in one minute}
Arthur opened his eyes, ended his meditation, and stood up calmly.
The six rooms were lined up before them.
Yoo Joonghyuk and Lee Jihye moved to their places immediately.
Kim Dokja pointed toward the rooms, and each member of the group entered without a word.
There was no time for conversation… the scenario was about to begin.
Arthur smiled faintly, then turned and walked away.
He left the group behind and headed alone toward Metro Line Three.
Everyone noticed his absence.
"Dokja… where did Arthur go?"
The question was repeated by more than one voice.
Kim Dokja smiled, a hint of concern in it, and said,
"He went to one of the rooms, of course."
It was an obvious lie.
Arthur stood on the subway tracks.
There were nearby rooms, but they were occupied by others.
He exhaled quietly, a silent tightness settling in his chest.

{The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband watches you with excitement}
"Yes… there will be a great battle.
Bring the popcorn."
{500 coins have been sponsored}
Arthur smiled calmly, then lowered the kimono from his left shoulder.
He gripped his black sword in his right hand and held his dagger in his left.
{The third scenario has begun}
The surrounding aura shifted instantly.
From suffocating stillness… to overwhelming chaos.
Red zones appeared one after another,
and from them, the monsters surged forth.
Countless monsters—crawling, shrieking, starving…
all rushing toward a single person.
Arthur smiled.
"This is going to be a truly enjoyable fight."
He leapt toward them with force.
He swung his sword—and cut.
At the heart of the savage horde,
stood a masked man wearing a white mask,
a black kimono,
and holding a beautiful black sword that gleamed amidst the chaos.
His silver hair flowed with every movement.
The mask was quickly stained with blood until it turned completely red.
His body moved with unbelievable speed,
with overwhelming power,
without hesitation,
without mercy.

On the second floor, where Kim Dokja's group was,
not a single monster approached.
The monsters appeared below,
then moved upward…
But ten minutes passed,
and nothing reached them.
Then—
A loud laugh echoed from the ground floor.
A laugh filled with dominance,
absolute confidence,
and unbreakable pride.
One hour passed…
then two…
then seven.
Kim Dokja's concern had reached its peak,
but he did not move.
The scenario had not ended yet.
Then the sounds began to change.
The monsters' screams…
but they were not cries of attack.
They were the screams of beings being slaughtered.
After a few minutes, Kim Dokja could no longer endure it.
He moved, leaving the green zone.
The others noticed, but he gestured for them to stop.
He rushed downward.
'Damn that bastard…
I told him I had a plan to secure a green zone, but he didn't listen.
He forced me to take a room and went off alone…
He didn't listen to me at all.'
He arrived.
But the place below—
was engulfed in complete darkness.
A darkness where nothing could be seen.
Kim Dokja focused his vision…
and his eyes widened.
There was a wall.
A massive, impenetrable wall
blocking the railway entirely.
And when he looked closer—
it wasn't truly a wall.
It was a wall…
made of monster corpses.
Countless corpses,
stacked, piled, forming a horrifying barrier created by Arthur alone.
Kim Dokja began pushing the bodies aside frantically,
trying to carve a path—
but there was no end to them.
At that moment, he felt a powerful presence behind him.
He turned.
It was Yoo Joonghyuk…
and the rest of the group.
The scenario had just ended.
Everyone had received their rewards.
Yoo Joonghyuk raised his sword,
channeling his energy into it.
Kim Dokja stepped back quickly.
Yoo Joonghyuk swung his sword
with all his strength.
A circular opening was carved through the monstrous wall.
Kim Dokja smiled faintly, then dashed forward,
the others following without hesitation.
None of the group knew why he suddenly rushed ahead or where he was heading.
Only he… and Yoo Joonghyuk knew what awaited inside.
Beyond the wall of monsters—
the truth was revealed.
Hundreds… no, thousands of corpses.
Monster bodies were piled chaotically, layered upon one another, forming a sea of flesh and blood, as if the place had turned into an endless silent graveyard.
In this scenario, not a single human had died.
Except for those who fought over green zones before it began.
From the moment the scenario started until it ended,
not one human fell…
because the monsters never left the subway tracks below.
Perhaps, for humans, this was the most boring scenario.
No screams, no chase, no visible chaos.
But for the constellations—
this was one of the greatest scenarios they had ever witnessed.
Because they saw what humans could not.
They witnessed a true battle.
One demon…
against an entire army of monsters.
The group moved cautiously through the corpses.
And at the end of that sea of blood—
there was only one person.
Sitting alone.
Covered in blood from head to toe.
His silver hair was no longer silver—
it had turned crimson red.
The white mask…
was no longer white, but a cracked, blood-soaked mask.
His clothes were torn,
his body burdened with wounds,
his black sword resting beside him.
He sat among the corpses,
eyes closed,
motionless.
Everyone stopped.
Kim Dokja approached slowly,
knelt down,
and placed his hand on his chest, trying to feel a pulse.
And suddenly—
"Oi…
get your hand off my chest.
I'm not into that kind of thing."
The voice came out calm, low… but alive.
Kim Dokja immediately raised his head,
smiled,
and pulled his hand back.
"So… you're still alive, you bastard."
Arthur smiled faintly, barely visible beneath the blood.
"How could I die…
and leave a group like you behind?"
And at that moment—
