Chapter 21 - King's selection. [7]

While Joonghyuk was still busy one sidedly beating up the bald man. Ken saw that Dokja was already here and talking to the king of beauty.

And just in a few seconds, he did indeed beat up the bald man like he was nothing. It was surprising that it was possible, since, no matter how good Joonghyuk is at fighting, they still have the same strength and everything.

Joonghyuk had found a loophole, even though it was stated that everything from skills, stigmas, items etc were not allowed, it was not said that coins are not allowed.

Because of some constellation complaining, the dokkaebi even had to correct them so that the stats gained here will be reset, and the coins used won't come back.

And Ken knew what he had to do right now. "It's such a fucking shame to waste them right now."

[Strength (lvl 10) > Strength (lvl 25).]

[Constitution (lvl 10) > Constitution (lvl 25).]

[Agility (lvl 10) > Agility (lvl 25).]

[15,000 coins have been used.]

As Ken ran towards Joonghyuk, even before he could do anything. Joonghyuk hit Ken's jaw with the heel of his palm.

Ken had expected not to be able to put up a clear fight against Joonghyuk, but he had been thinking of how to fight him from the moment they were transported here.

Ken quickly readjusted his position, grabbed Joonghyuk's hair and headbutted him as hard as he could. It was disorienting even for himself, but he didn't have time to think right now.

With a sudden kick on the calf, then immediately followed by an elbow strike on the jaw, then the temple of the head and another uppercut to the jaw.

It was enough to disorient and shake up the entire nervous system of anyone. But Ken didn't stop here.

As he grabbed Joonghyuk's arm and moved in the opposite direction, placing his back to Joonghyuk. With that, he threw Joonghyuk as hard as he could.

Just as Joonghyuk got up, Ken quickly came up to him and hit him in the head with a roundhouse as hard as he could.

After that, Ken quickly got to where the weights were and took his ankle and wrist weights from the ground.

His entire body was shaking and he was having a hard time breathing from the disorientation. He raised one of his hands and said. "I forfeit." 

[The merciless king, Kennedy has forfeited.]

With that Ken was teleported outside the dome. With a loud thud, he lay down on the ground. It was disorienting, extremely disorienting at that. 

It was adrenaline, which was going full force, that was why he could keep fighting. After the palm strike, he should have immediately passed out from disorientation because of the curse of Amodeus.

But somehow he not only managed to position himself back, but also fight back against him. The biggest thing being, he did a headbutt, which made it even worse.

He could hear the dokkaebi announcing Dokja as the owner of the ruler's throne. Then it means Dokja must have beaten Joonghyuk just like he did originally.

When Ken slowly got up, he could see Dokja and the dokkaebi arguing with each other. Dokja was saying he won't sit on the ruler's throne and what not. While the dokkaebi was threatening him.

He could understand what they were talking about, since it was obvious as to what they must be talking about. Even though his ears were ringing.

Many people were questioning Dokja, while he was answering them back. Ken was still having a hard time hearing clearly. 

He already had a hard time understanding what people usually say, because that's just how his hearing cognition is. Absolutely shit. And now, he could not even hear properly.

Ken was waiting while sitting down, just so that the disorientation could fully go away. While at it, he also wears the wrist and ankle weights again, the only regret being, he forgot to pick up the weight vest.

When he looked at the dokkaebi who was saying something angrily. With just a snap of his fingers, a message came.

[A new sub scenario has appeared.]

[Sub scenario: Usurp the throne.]

[Difficulty: B.]

[Description: Subdue the incarnation Kim Dokja, who refuses to sit on the throne, and usurp the throne for yourself.]

[Time limit: 30 minutes.]

[Reward: 6,000 coins.]

[Penalty for failure: None.]

The moment this message came, the look on all the incarnations immediately changed. It was obvious what they were thinking. 

Can I become the king of everyone here? That was the only thought that was running through the mind of everyone.

As everyone dashed towards Dokja, a woman blocked them, shouting. Ken knew who it was, Jung Heewon. She looked furious.

Not just her, two other guys also came in front of Dokja. Ken didn't remember their name, but he could still remember them helping Dokja a lot early on, though they kind of disappeared later on, which Ken couldn't remember why. They must have died somehow.

Not just them, but also Sangah, the king of beauty and her soldiers, and the bald guy with his men. Everyone came in front of Dokja to stop the assault. 

Seeing it, the dokkaebi also agitated the people by encouraging them to attack. As everyone started to attack the group, Dokja also started heading towards the throne.

Ken also knew what he had to do right now. He got up and ran into the middle of the crowd, as he prepared for a punch. 

"Release" As he uttered those words and punched the ground, a chunk of the area around him was destroyed. Creating a crater.

It was enough to not only injure a lot of people, but also kill some of them. But the ground was not the only one that took damage, the bone of Ken's entire arm was shattered. It didn't end at arm, it also affected his body.

Ken had passed out from the amplified pain again. When people saw him, some of them tried to attack him again. But he quickly regained consciousness. Since his regeneration leveled up, his recovery is extremely fast, and when healed, the pain goes anyway. So he could still continue.

In the middle of the fight, everyone suddenly started staring at the ruler's throne. It was because of Dokja. He was holding a sword and was about to strike the throne.

Seeing it, everyone got even crazier and started rushing towards it more fiercely. Even though Ken and everyone else were stronger than them and also killing a lot of people, no one would stop. 

There was no end to their greed for the throne. And suddenly, a notification came.

[The protection cast on the constellation grade artifact, The ruler's throne has been removed.]

[The sub scenario has ended.]

[A mysterious ruler has noticed a sudden change in this world.]

[The fourth scenario has ended abruptly.]

When Ken looked at Dokja, he was clenching his chest from pain. It was the burden of probability he was carrying because of his actions.

Ken knew how painful this thing is, but also really didn't know, since the one he has experienced is far more painful that the one Dokja was experiencing, because of his curse.

[A new story has been created.]

[The story, King of a kingless world has been born.]

After the pain had subsided, Dokja looked at the dokkaebi. He was definitely mad at Dokja for doing that. 

As people started to make a ruckus about wanting another election and what not, the dokkaebi stopped everyone.

[The scenario has ended. Whatever happens to you all from now on… is all because of this man.]

[King of a kingless world? Fine, I'd love to see you try.]

The dokkaebi snapped his finger, as everyone started to get teleported from this place.

[Let's see… how long you all can survive without a leader.] He looked at Dokja, and started again.

[Remember. If this world comes to an end, it will be all because of you.]

For some reason, Ken was one of the last to be teleported, and got to hear everything to the end. As the light enveloped him too. The entire scenery he was seeing changed. He was teleported.

'... Fuck, I might as well be the person who gets teleported the most.'
