After all participants were decided and while everyone briefly moved elsewhere, Kim Dokja, just like in the original, spoke with his mother, the King of Wanderers Lee Sookyung. Then, after regrouping, we immediately left Yongsan Station and headed to the gathering spot.
Already, the kings and Yoo Joonghyuk's party were gathered there.
Through the [Great Hole], a pure white crystal adorned with golden decorations was slowly falling from the sky.
A crystal emitting a dazzling light so bright it hurt the eyes.
That crystal was the warp crystal, the item that would transport us to the next scenario area, [Peace Land].
'Is it inserted there?'
Upon closer inspection of the crystal, five grooves in total were visible.
If the tiger tokens obtained so far are inserted into those grooves, the warp crystal will start working.
Soon, my party and I pushed through the crowd and stood before the crystal, and Yoo Joonghyuk, who was already standing in front of the crystal, glared at us and said.
"You're here."
"Yeah, unfortunately so."
"This time, it's fine if you skip it."
Kim Dokja looked at Yoo Joonghyuk as if he had really heard something unexpected, and Yoo Joonghyuk spoke without even glancing at such a Kim Dokja.
"You seem to have a woman you love."
"What?"
"It's going to be tough."
Kim Dokja made an expression as if he couldn't believe Yoo Joonghyuk was considering him, but soon, upon seeing Lee Seolhwa by his side, he made a convinced expression and said.
"We're not in that kind of relationship. How could love be possible in this situation?"
"Then, you won't mind dying."
"Speak nicely, will you, man? I'm getting hurt."
At those words, Yoo Joonghyuk suddenly glared at Kim Dokja with murderous eyes and said.
"Don't forget. I haven't paid you back for hitting me yet."
"...…Do you want me to live or die? Anyway, I had almost forgotten, so thanks a lot for reminding me, you bastard."
After finishing the conversation with Yoo Joonghyuk, Kim Dokja, perhaps giving instructions to the party through group chat, glanced at the party for a moment.
Then, suddenly, sparks began to fly above the warp crystal, and soon, from the sparks, the low-grade dokkaebi Yeonggi appeared with an urgent expression.
[Wait a moment...! I'm really sorry, but there's an emergency announcement!]
The people gathered around the warp crystal began to murmur at the low-grade dokkaebi's words.
[I forgot to mention, but the initial allocated participants possible from Seoul Dome are not 10 but 8 people.]
"Suddenly, what does that mean?"
[Well... during the fifth scenario, part of the dimension twisted, and some people have already moved on to the sixth scenario.]
"What? There are people who already entered?"
[Yes. Currently, two people from Seoul Dome have already entered the scenario.]
At those words, I finally remembered the existence of Han Sooyoung and Gong Pildoo, who had already moved to Peace Land, which I had forgotten, and slapped my forehead.
[Although they entered due to a scenario error, for fairness, we will exclude two people from the original allocated participants.]
"What! Where does that exist?"
"That's your responsibility, isn't it?! Why are you saying that to us!"
At Yeonggi's words, the people who weren't even selected made more of a fuss, and the party also looked at Kim Dokja with troubled expressions.
"What should we do, Dokja-ssi?"
At the party's question, Kim Dokja also looked at the low-grade dokkaebi Yeonggi and the warp crystal with a troubled expression.
As the originally planned allocated participants reduced from 10 to 8 people, the party looked at Kim Dokja with flustered expressions.
And the same was true for the Incarnations of Seoul Dome standing behind them.
Then, from among the party, Yoo Sangah raised her hand slightly and said.
"I'll drop out."
Following Yoo Sangah, Jung Heewon also raised her hand and said.
"I'll drop out too. Anyway, I heard there's a second allocation."
"Are both of you okay with that?"
To Kim Dokja's question, Jung Heewon answered.
"I'm worried because Dokja-ssi seems a bit dull today... but you'll manage, right? After all, that scary man seems to be on our side this time..."
After those two dropped out, I gave a hint about Nirvana to Shin Yuseung and entrusted the party, and soon, paired up as Kim Dokja and Shin Yuseung, Yoo Joonghyuk and Lee Seolhwa, Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung, me and Lee Jihye, thus in pairs of two, a total of 4 teams entered the warp crystal.
