    I like 1+1.

    This is a 1+1 promotion that is often held at convenience stores.

    I don’t know if there’s anyone who doesn’t like that, but I like it so much that I only buy those products.

    I took some time to stop by a convenience store. Alba standing at the counter caught my eye.

    It was a very young and pretty part-time job. Her breasts are also big.

    Since it was a convenience store located in the corner of a building that was not doing business, it was a part-time job that the manager hired based solely on appearance to attract customers.

    I remember the store manager bragging that he had brought in the prettiest girl from a nearby university.

    “… … .”

    Blame, tattat, blame.

    A guest came, but he didn’t say hello and just looked at his phone.

    Is it only because of that attitude that I use it?

    Still, I come here on purpose.

    I glance at my part-time worker and choose a coffee.

    Oh, 1+1. this.

    I could give one to Ga-eun.

    The report I had to deliver to Ga-eun ended up being about 30 minutes late. Because of that, Ga-eun got scolded. And yet Ga-eun doesn’t say a word of complaint to me. There are no separate angels.

    Because I also feel sorry… I should at least apologize by giving this to him.

    “With this. and… Please give me bronze for 10,000 steps. A lighter too.”

    “… … Bronze?”

    “Yes. A man walks 10,000 steps.”

    At my words, Alba looks me up and down as if she were looking at an insect. I intentionally put the cigarette that was handed to me on the counter to avoid it touching my hand. In the meantime, I’m holding my cell phone. Are you addicted to SNS?

    “Phew… .”

    After paying for the items, I went out for a moment. Since I’m already here, I’m going to take a sip.

    He proudly took out a cigarette pack with Manboro’s name written on it. Cover the bronze slightly. Because this is embarrassing.

    Should we check out the community that was on fire earlier?

    “Gongju! What happened earlier? Did you get scolded because of that intern again?”

    I hear a familiar voice. These are the female employees of our company. I quickly hid in a place that couldn’t be seen.

    The one waving a large employee ID card in the middle is my gunner, Gong Ga-eun. There are three other employees around him. This is a trio that always goes together with Ga-eun.

    I remember the name combination because it was unique.

    Kim So-young, So Hana, and Jeom So-i.

    In order, they are bull 0, cow 1, and cow 2.

    “It’s because your expression wasn’t good earlier. Did that person cause an accident again?”

    Gongju is an abbreviation for Chief Gong, and somehow that became Ga-eun’s nickname. I tried to call him that too, but he felt uncomfortable and didn’t like it.

    Gong Ga-eun sighed deeply.

    “Ha… . Yes, that’s right.”

    “Ah~ That pig guy? Right?”

    “How old did you say you were? That pig? Was it thirty-three or four?”

    “The face value is almost that of a manager. How incompetent are you to have an accident even though you are only interning at that age?”

    These fucking bitches… . They blatantly criticize me for not having me.

    I don’t know if it’s because of my appearance or something, but these three people especially hate me. In particular, Kim So-young, who speaks informally, completely hates me.

    Still, the angel Ga-eun always treats me with a smile even if I mess up a bit… . You wouldn’t gossip about me in a place like this, right?

    “So… . I told him several times to hurry up, but he was just using his phone.”

    “Wow~. This is truly the greatest trash ever.”

    “That guy says when will the internship end? A joke? I want to send it out quickly. It stinks when you’re next to it.”

    “I guess there are two or three months left? It’s crazy to have to wait two more months. Really.”

    The voice gets closer. I’m so nervous that I can’t even hold a burning cigarette in my mouth properly.

    I’ve been cursed my entire life, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever get used to it or feel better about it.

    It’s even worse when you get scolded by young women.

    “… Let’s go to the convenience store first! Let’s go.”

    Ms. Ga-eun seemed to change the subject as if she was uncomfortable with this kind of conversation.

    But, a convenience store? Are you really coming this way?

    shit… I think we’ll run into each other if we stay here. Anyone can see that I overheard.

    As I looked around, I noticed a mini warehouse behind me. It was like a small storage warehouse under the stairs.

    Squeak.

    Luckily the door is open. I quickly went in and closed the door before I was seen.

    It’s so fucking dark. There are about four rows of ventilation holes in the door, but you can barely see the inside. There’s a lot of dust.

    “That intern said he apologized? No, I haven’t seen you since before. Where have you been?”

    “I don’t know. He must have gone to smoke a cigarette. Ah, conjure! Even if the intern comes to apologize, don’t accept it.”

    “Uh, um… . Still, if you apologize, shouldn’t you accept it? I’m a shooter… .”

    It’s also Ga-eun. This person is the only one who can save me.

    “Kongju is so nice. People. Then that guy crosses the line~. You’re an apple and you’re the kind of guy who would show off by giving me coffee from a convenience store?”

    “That’s also 1+1, so you get what you got. Because that’s all a person can do.”

    How did know. It looks like a ghost.

    I put back the 1+1 coffee I was holding in my hand.

    “No, of course! I’ll just get the coffee too.”

    … what?

    “Is that so? also. Well thought out. Gongju.”

    “That bastard may have done something to me? These days, there are people who pretend to give you a drink and spit on it.”

    “Really? and. The dog is dirty.”

    “Ah… haha… . I will be careful too.”

    Gong Ga-eun smiles sheepishly.

    I don’t know if she was sincere or just accepting it, but Kim So-young definitely seemed sincere.

    “Be really careful. Conjure. You don’t know what I’ll do if you treat me well? If those guys are just a little nice to you, you’ll be mistaken and confess that you like them. Wow~ It’s creepy.”

    Kim So-young frowns as she shakes her shoulder.

    “Don’t worry about that… ! I will also firmly refuse then.”

    “Right? Thank goodness.”

    “There is a limit to accepting everything. If you cross the line, you have to cut it off immediately.”

    “Yes… ! I’ll keep that in mind.”

    With Ga-eun’s answer, the four entered the convenience store.

    Looking at that, I fiddled aimlessly with the coffee I bought earlier.

    To be honest, I couldn’t say I had no feelings at all. That’s because Ga-eun was such a kind person that she was kind to even people like me.

    But it was still hard to bear being ignored so blatantly in front of everyone.

    But what can I do?

    What can I do here other than fussing and getting angry, or beating him up and going out and starving?

    I am an intern at Paris Life, and no matter how small or medium-sized the company is, Ga-eun is the full-time manager. If something happened, it was very obvious who would be cut first.

    I could only hold my breath in the warehouse and watch the four people enter the convenience store.

    In the end there is nothing I can do.

    I don’t look good and my job is unstable.

    I don’t know if I had a lot at all, but I don’t even have that.

    Fuck world.

    I just wish it would fail.

    ─Boom!

    “… ?”

    at that time. I heard something shaking.

    Sssasasak… And something like sand falls next to me.

    what? Is it dust? There’s too much to be dust.

    ─Guwagwagwang!!

    This time it was a loud explosion.

    The sound was so loud that it hurt my ears even though I was hiding in a warehouse.

    no. There is definitely something to this. Was it a gas explosion? Or earthquake? Either way, it’s clear that something unusual has happened.

    It feels like a scene I’ve seen before somewhere.

    Kwaaaa!!

    A huge explosion was heard again. This time I had to cover my ears.

    At the same time, the ground shook so much that my body swayed. The ceiling shook and the lights flickered and then went out.

    “Fuck, what the hell?”

    In this case, it’s a cell phone.

    Especially the community. What are the bastards over there doing in the community even during the war?? Because they are the ones posting while doing it. Me too.

    Quickly look at the community to understand the situation.

    – Can you recommend something new to watch today?

    – Is the writer of [Survival Game] on hiatus again?

    – What is that explosion sound?

    – Explosion huh?

    – [Review] Today’s deep sea exploration review

    – Something… Something is starting.

    – The true wife is Hilde.

    … … ?

    While one is talking about explosions, the others are just calmly talking about web novels.

    Is it really like this only here? Is it a different region?

    At this time, a text message appeared along with a loud alarm sound, covering the screen.

    [Emergency Disaster Text]

    [Seoul City] Multiple explosions of unknown origin occurred at this time. A strange creature was seen in the Han River. Citizens please evacuate

    ‘… … uh?’

    When I read the text, my body stiffened for a moment.

    It wasn’t because I couldn’t understand the situation.

    I had a feeling of déjà vu that I had seen this text somewhere before.

    ‘It’s the same.’

    The disaster text and text appearing at the beginning of the web novel [Survival Game] are exactly the same. Even the typo at the end.

    ─Kugugu Palace… !

    The building shakes again with a loud noise.

    This isn’t an earthquake or an explosion.

    The sound of something huge colliding.

    therefore… It is a loud noise made when monsters fall from a gate opened in the sky and collide with a building.

    “Aaagh!”

    “Monster! It’s a monster!”

    “Fuck… Jump out!”

    People run into the building, screaming. That alone gave me an idea of ​​what the situation was like outside.

    The tearing cries and screams of monsters can be heard in your ears. People who are scared. A building that continues to shake.

    It was an unbelievable reality, but I had to believe it.

    Should I get out of here?

    No, there is something you need to check first.

    If the real survival game had begun, something would probably have popped up by now.

    [Seoul area – ‘Survival Game’ has begun.]

    ‘It’s up!’

    The status window in front of you.

    [You are a player of this game.]

    [Show your ability to survive in any situation.]

    The phrase that comes out is also just as I remember.

    My heart, which had been skeptical, has now turned to certainty.

    The world is truly ruined.

    The apocalypse will begin soon.

    Judgment is over. There was no time to waste now. If the apocalypse starts now, there are many things to prepare.

    I opened the warehouse door straight away without looking back.

    My destination was right across from me.

    The place where I bought the coffee I was holding tightly in my hand.

    It’s a convenience store.

    [From this time, all forms of movement and exchange between the Seoul area and outside areas will be blocked and the Seoul area will be sealed off.]
