Chapter 13
"Believe what you want, I'm not joining you . If you're done, then choose . Beat it, or have your bones shattered like that stupid fool . "
The air grew tense as they watched each other . Jimin and Julian were too used to fighting; they had replaced their own characteristics from what they were in their previous life .
But . . .
"I'll beat it . "
Julian backed off . It was simple . Jimin was powerful . She was powerful even in the past life, but she was currently a step ahead of everyone . And considering the item she just obtained…
'She will be the strongest duelist . '
Julian could have brought his 'family' to fight, but that would be too risky and unworthy .
"Think about it . I'm not asking you to join my family . You know that we all have earned a second chance . And the 'throne' is empty . "
"Besides, it's not only us who made it to the end that were resurrected . You need to make up your mind if you want to survive . "
People who died before Dohyuk managed to kill a god were also brought back to life . They, too, had memories up until their deaths to try again . This meant that those who were powerful, whose only fault was to challenge Dohyuk, now had a second chance at the throne .
"You can be the new master . I just want to be a friend so if either one of us becomes…"
"Bastard . "
Jimin took a step with the knuckle on her hands .
"C-calmez vous (Calm down)…"
Julian raised his hands in surrender and took a step back . However, as he stepped up to the fence of the roof, he added, "Forget about Dohyuk . Even if he survived, he will not adapt to the new world . What we NEED to worry about is the lucky bastard who might have gotten his Nature . "
Before Jimin could charge, Julian leaped off the roof . Jimin stopped and her expression dropped . Her cold look instantly turned sad .
'Dohyuk…'
She still had faith that Dohyuk was alive, but she was worried about how he had adapted . The situation had been moving rapidly even for those who had come back . Jimin took the cube from her pocket . This roof was safe place against those 'worms', but…
'I can't stay for 48 hours in this place . '
Even if she had a full 48 hours, coins given by the angels would only be a small amount befitting for a starting zone . It was better to explore other hidden areas during those 48 hours .
'Others will think the same . '
Nonetheless, if she gained more strength within 48 hours, it would be easy to beat up most of worms . Jimin then jumped down in opposite direction of where Julian jumped .

'I have to collect more… for Dohyuk too . '
She could picture a terrified Dohyuk in some unknown safe place . She gritted her teeth and ran out .
A sudden shock came from behind .
"Ugh!"
Dohyuk, who was taking a break, moaned . Someone had snuck into the rocky area and thrown a boulder the size of a small child at Dohyuk . It directly hit Dohyuk's back .
"You're a fool for sitting like a dumb duck!"
The ambusher quickly ran up to Dohyuk and kicked him . It would be a critical blow if it connected, but . . .
"Huh?"
Dohyuk quickly dodged the attack . It wasn't a move from a novice and Dohyuk was able to land a kick on the man .

"ARGH!"
He quickly blocked it with both his arms, but he was pushed back . Dohyuk's 'Strength' was that much stronger and so was his 'Stamina' . By consuming the necklace, he had 'Damage Nullification' that absorbed half of the damage from the boulder .
"You…!"
The man tried frantically to attack, to which Dohyuk dodged and struck back . After a few more exchanges, the man realized that Dohyuk was practicing as he had superior stats and skills . However, he needed experience to utilize it . That was why he was now focusing on practicing against 'weaker' opponents when he had a chance .
The result was made due to the difference in 'Stamina' .
"Ugh…"
The kick hit the man's stomach and he buckled to the ground . Before he slumped down, he got up and began running away . Dohyuk did not chase after him . He had earned his purpose .
-AAAAAARGH!
And a scream came from a distance . Dohyuk then picked up the pocket from the ground . It was what the man dropped during the fight .
'…He was foolish . '
He took the cube out and checked the time .

'I should be more careful . It would have killed me if he was stronger . '
Dohyuk opened his cube pocket and added the new one into it . It was now 7th cube in the pocket . This was his 'savings' per se . There was a part of it within the desert that had hidden aspects . It would be an idea to go after it but… this was what the angel said:
-And when that time comes, we will give you coins in regards to how many hours you have left in that freshener . The less you use it, the more coins you get .
Considering the amount of time that was left, he'd gain more coins .
'I'm just guessing but… the ones coming here are weak or who are not so sure . '
For a few hours, the six people he had beaten were those with no special weapons . These people were those that had lost against the competition or they were cowards who were trying to find a safe place to maintain the time on their cube . Dohyuk wasn't too clear with the details, however .
'I'll wait . '
He'd hunt the weak ones that he could hunt without fail . This was Dohyuk's way to ensure his survival . He now learned that he had to be alert at all times for any unexpected prey .
And then, there was a new prey . Dohyuk silently rose up .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
