Survival Combat

Thanks to my plan, Hye-Won was only wearing a tank-top. There was no other way.

My upper clothing had been torn. And, it"s not like I was going to run around in my underwear.

"Then, I"ll get started."

"Alright."

Hye-Won placed her hand on a tree by the entrance. She began focusing on her breathing and before

long, fire engulfed her fingertips, spreading out to her hands, and then onto the tree.

The fire was pretty hot when it spread to other trees, making it grow bigger and bigger.

The trees were beginning to catch on fire quicker and quicker. My plan was in progress, but I could see

that it was taking a toll on Hye-Won.

"That"s enough. The rest can be done by the old way."

She nodded, and came to my side. I moved in front of her, having her at my back.

I picked up few sticks and lit them on fire before throwing them onto the gra.s.s.

The fire was getting out of control, spreading wildly across the trees.

kuahhh.

A zombie approached. Probably was attracted by the heat and light. But, who cares, right? They"re not

even a threat anymore, really.

heek! puhk!

Fires began to take the trees one by one. First, the branches were getting burned from the tips then

the trunks began to burn away slowly.

The burning trees lit up the dark forest. Good. It"s burning really well.

With this… I"ll burn all the G.o.d d.a.m.n zombies.

"Okay, let"s head back inside."

We slowly walked back into the Stone Chamber.

***

Strangely, our smart phones seemed to work here. So, I took mine out and noted everything that was

going on using one of its key features.

1. Every morning at 2am.

2. Time stops once I"m in the white room.

3. All skills acquired in this place can be used immediately.

4. Any item I have on me can be brought with me to the white room.

5. I can buy almost anything with points

6. The Divine Power can be used infinitely, but there aren"t much use for them.

That is what I wrote down.

The Divine Power.

The power that"s been bestowed by the G.o.d, I can cover my entire body with it and on weapons as well.

It"s a quite useful skill.

By the way, could I use the points to buy an immortal medicine or something like it? Some kind of herbs

or potion that can keep me from dying.

that would be… very nice.

Wait, it might actually better if there was something that can turn me into Superman. A body that can"t

be harmed by anything in this world, a body that"s stronger than steel…

"What are you doing?"

The girl seems to have gotten more comfortable with me, seeing how she"s sitting with her back against

the wall and her legs stretched out now. Somehow her legs looked really s.e.xy to me. I couldn"t keep

my eyes off them.

That reminds me, this girl, she gets worn out whenever see uses her fire skill. And, the face she makes

when she"s exhausted has a somewhat s.e.x appeal to it.

Not good.

"Writing notes."

"You"re cold hearted. Writing notes at a situation like this…"

"Think so?"

Her comment made my head tilt a bit. To my surprise, I had been adjusting to this environment all too

well.

I wonder if there"s anyone who"d take this much initiative? Probably not, everyone is different.

"I should bring some cigarettes with me next time. All this waiting is starting to bore me."

"Ahjusshi, how many times have you been here?"

"This is my third time, what about you?"

"Me too."

"Then…. aren"t you a bit too weak?"

"If I pushed myself…. I can use the fire skill for about 10 times."

"Ah. So, you"re saying you"ve easily gotten through the first and second stage?"

Cooking those d.a.m.ned dogs…. couldn"t have been that difficult since they"re so weak.

"Where do you live?"

"What about you, ahjusshi?"

"Me? I live in Eunpyeong, Seoul."

"I live in Mapo, Seoul."

"You don"t live too far off…"

"But, why are you asking that?"

"Eh? I was wondering if we could meet up in the real world. I"m not positive… that we"ll meet again in

here, but it would be best to plan for the next stage if we do end up seeing each other again in here."

"a plan…"

"Even if it"s just a plan, it doesn"t have to be anything big…. For an example, you can bring anything you

have with you into this place from the real world. Just like your school uniform, and my smart phone."

"So?"

"From my experience, I"ve been getting dragged in here every morning at 2am. So, it would be in our

best interest to prepare some items beforehand. Like, water bottles. We"re both parched. And, look at

me. Can"t you see what I"m wearing?"

"You do have a point."

"Be sure to prepare something to help protect yourself, but money is the problem…"

I was about to use up all the tuition money I had saved up from working part-time jobs.

sigh… thinking about money situation at a time like this is just great. just… great… It"s not easy living in

Korea at this age.

While talking, I pulled a water bottle from my backpack and tossed it over to her. She glared at me for a

moment.

"It"s water. Drink up."

"Thank you."

She took the water bottle opening to her lips and began gulping down, then tossed it back over to me so

I could drink the rest. I needed to drink too. I was dying of thirst.

Gulp. Gulp.

"whew."

I tightened the water bottle cap and placed it next to me.

"Get some rest. I"ll go stand watch."

I could hear the fire spreading outside. Faint noises of trees cracking and burning to crisps can be heard

from afar, while the fire consumed every bit of it.

Just how long are we supposed to survive in this place? I had no idea. I quickly looked over to Hye-Won

to see if she might have an idea, but she was already falling asleep.

She had pa.s.sed out.

***

I checked the time on my phone. I stood up after seeing roughly five hours had pa.s.sed.
