Chapter 8 - Theatre dungeon.

As he walked down the empty corridor, he realized one thing.

'... I don't know where the theatre dungeon is.'

It took him a while to realize that, since he was too busy contemplating whether he should be calm about killing people or not.

'Well, it shouldn't be a problem since it should be near Chungmuro, and I'm heading towards that direction anyway.'

He kept on walking… and walking… and walking before finding another staircase leading to a weird place.

Daehan cinema. He didn't know if he should be confused or not, but he was confused. Was the real name of the theatre dungeon… this?

[You have discovered a hidden dungeon.]

[For being the second person to find this place, you have been awarded 500 coins.]

[A new hidden scenario has arrived.]

[Hidden scenario: Theatre dungeon.]

[Difficulty: A.]

[Description: Defeat the master of the theatre dungeon.]

[Time limit: None.]

[Reward: 4,000 coins.]

[Penalty for failure: None.]

Ken was sure about the person who discovered this dungeon first. It was none other than Yoo Joonghyuk. 

Well, who could it be other than the regressor who came into this place first.

"Mister sunfish is already here just to be controlled later on… bitch." He grumbled under his breath while complaining.

As Ken entered the dungeon, he saw multiple posters stuck on the wall. The posters of different movies.

Most of them were ripped out already. There are three reasons Ken came here.

One. He needs the heart of the immortal in order to get the constellation grade sword.

Two. He needs the Eclipse gloves, which was planned to be his most iconic weapon along with the sword.

Three. There is no reason, he can still get some rewards for completing these movies, which are still better than nothing.

Ken loitered around the place for a while before noticing one movie that intrigued him. Silence.

"... What an edgy as fuck name… well, the names were changed a little because of copyright in ORV." He walked in front of the poster.

"They even turned Jurassic park into Birrasic park, Inception into ingception, The incredible hulk into… just Huck… pfft!"

Suddenly a light started to hover above him and he suddenly got teleported into a different place.

When Ken opened his eyes, he saw that he was in an unfamiliar place. An empty hallway.

He didn't know where he was, but after observing for a while, he realized it's a sort of school.

He started to wander around the place as he didn't know what to do. Much time passed as he kept wandering around and decided to head down a staircase as he suddenly heard a sound.

Someone was screaming from the upper floor. Ken quickly decided to head up and started to look for where the sound was coming from.

Looking around, he finds a door to a restroom where the sound was coming from. As he knocked on the door, the sound suddenly stopped. 

Just when Ken tried to open the door, a person came and stopped him. Presumably a security guard.

"Um. Mister In-ho, this is the restroom for the girls, so you can't go in there."

Ken was a bit confused at first, but later realized it was the name of the character he was playing.

"But I heard someone screaming there."

"That? You know that many of the kids here are disabled in one way or another. So they sometimes scream like that for fun." The guards replied in a hurried tone.

Ken felt confused as he still couldn't discern the movie was in, but decided to do what the guard told him anyway. 

"Okay. I didn't know that."

"Yes, yes. You wouldn't know anyway, as you are still new." Even after saying that, the guard stood there, which made Ken leave the place first.

Ken slowly descended from the staircase and hid in a corner of the hallway.

He didn't know what movie he was in, but he knew an easy way out. It was to find the villain of this movie and kill them. 

Doesn't matter what this movie is about, it ends when the villain dies anyway. It is something he learned after reading ORV, obviously.

[Some constellations wonder what is happening.]

"How would I know? I think I saw this movie a long time ago, but can't quite remember."

After waiting for a minute or so, he goes up the staircase again to check if the guard was there, and luckily for him, he was long gone.

'Now I can check what is in there.' 

He cautiously approached the door, as he was also afraid of the fact that this movie might be that of a horror genre.

Opening the door, he heard a weird sound coming from behind one of the doors. He slowly stepped towards it and before he could open it, an old man came out.

Seeing him, the old man gets incredibly flustered and starts to curse him as he drags Ken out of the restroom.

"Mister In-ho! What were you doing in the girls restroom?!" He asked, agitated.

"... You literally came out from there."

Hearing him, the old man became angrier and pushed Ken aside while saying some random things.

The last thing being. "If you ever go inside the girls restroom again, you will lose your job."

Ken didn't care much, as he was not the real one anyway and didn't care about a job he was not doing. So, he stepped inside the restroom again, anyway.

There, he saw a girl, around ten or so years old, come out crying in a disheveled appearance. He didn't know her exact age, but to him, that must be how old she looked. Even now, he could not understand what was happening.

—***—

[Some constellations are speechless.]

[Attribute ADHD side effect: Hyperactivity keeps on worsening.]

Ken could feel anger taking over his entire body more and more as time passed as he suddenly came across the same guard again.

"Mister In-ho! You haven't gone home–"

Before he could even finish his words, Ken punched him in the jaw as hard as he could. Which was enough to get the man unconscious.

But for him, this wasn't enough as he started to stomp on the guard's chest until his ribcage broke and his internal organs were crushed.

[Some constellations don't think it's alright to kill an unrelated guard.]

"Do you really think this guy is unrelated? He was literally stopping me from going inside… and if I remember correctly, everyone in this school is connected with them."

Ken quickly headed towards the teacher room, where a person was beating a kid brutally.

Hearing the sound of the door, the man looked back as he saw Ken violently coming at him.

"Mister In-ho, you are still–" Before he could finish his words, Ken slashed his legs. Cutting both of them, instantly.

Ken knelt down in front of the man and said something in his ear before starting to punch him in the face until his skull cracked and he died.

[Some constellations think that this kill was reasonable.]

But Ken didn't stop just there and he headed straight towards the principals office as he saw three people.

A woman, and two people identical to each other– supposedly twins. They must have been discussing something. Without giving them any time to talk, he slashed the woman's head open and asked.

"Who is the one that ra…" The words wouldn't come out of his mouth, as if they were stuck inside his throat.

As he spoke up again. "No matter, I'm going to kill both of you anyway."

The twins, frozen in fear. Before they could react, Ken threw his sword at the chest of one of them. Leaving him in a near death state.

Seeing this, the other one tried to run. But Ken quickly grabbed him and pinned him on the ground.

He clenched his fist as tight as possible and started to punch. Not the head, but the arms.

Just like that, Ken broke that guy's arms and legs until they were turned into dust. The old man was screaming in pain, but Ken didn't care and at last, stomped the old man's head with crushing force.

Ken slowly goes towards the other one and takes out the sword while making a cut in the person's chest, also killing him.
