Both Rimuru and Yoo Junghyuk were walking towards the dark tunnel. Lee jihye and the others were left behind, giving them a bit of privacy.

Yoo Junghyuk stopped walking, turning his body to face Rimuru, who also stopped.

He could see rimuru's face, his golden eyes glittering in the dark, their eyes locked to each other.

It wasn't a normal thing to see, those Golden eyes seemed to see right through his soul.

It was a chilling moment, but he can't waste time and say nothing after facing the blue haired beauty in front of him.

Yoo Junghyuk regained his focus, he didn't have enough time to admire beautiful faces.

"What do you want?.." Yoo Junghyuk asked with a harsh tone, signing that he was very cautious.

"So..., You are a Regressor right?" Rimuru asked hesitantly, he himself doesn't even know what to talk about.

Yoo Junghyuk didn't say anything, he knows that Rimuru was aware. There was no need to waste breath just to answer something that was already clear.

Rimuru stared and started to think for a question.

"Hey.. tell me, ...was I in your previous regression?" Rimuru asked

"No"

Yoo Junghyuk answered quickly, he's face being cautious after realizing the question.

'he wasn't on the previous round.., did the future changed this much?'

he thought.

"So I wasn't..., Hey.., do you want me to help-" before Rimuru could continue his words, he was cutted off by Yoo Junghyuk.

"I don't need it"

his voice was deep, and it sounded as if he was angry.

"What?, You don't want me to help you?..., I'm strong you know, if you don't need my strength, then I can deal it with my knowledge."

Rimuru asked. He wasn't being desperate to be in Yoo Junghyuk's accomplice, he was more worried that the Regressor might die and regress again.

Great sage informed him that the possibility of them meeting again in the next regression is 0.

Rimuru didn't appeared in the last round so it must be true. this is an opportunity for the Regressor, and he must not let it slip.

"Knowledge?, Do you know something about the future?, Are you a prophet too?."

Yoo Junghyuk asked, he's suspicion raised immediately after hearing rimuru's words.

"I..., I don't know anything about the future.., but-" Rimuru was hesitant to speak, but he need to.

He himself don't know why he was doing this, but it was something he must do. But his words were cutted off again.

"Then there's no need to keep this conversation going. The thing I'm looking for is someone who can give me information about the future, and you aren't that someone I was looking for. And I also have strength on my side so your help for me is irrelevant."

You Junghyuk walked away with those words. He was looking for something, yet he was aware that he already found it. And yes, it was Kim Dokja.

Rimuru was surely to be helpful in the upcoming scenarios, but he was still too suspicious. Rimuru was too strong and has the very ability to kill him.

He got betrayed once, and he won't let it be twice. Due to that experience, trusting people became difficult.

Rimuru stared at the back of Yoo Junghyuk who was walking away.

"Wow. I feel like a girl who confessed to her crush but got dumped immediately...., But, of course, even when the girl gets dumped, she will come back and make her crush regret it.., that's a cliche, but something befitting in my situation..., I'll definitely make a comeback."

Rimuru grinned. Thinking of ways to make the guy regret his decisions for turning him down.

[A few constellations are listening to your words.]

[The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' is excitedly looking forward to it.]

'oh no!, I didn't know the constellations are still here!.'

Suddenly a holographic window appeared at him, signaling that the third main scenario has started.

Rimuru immediately sprinted as fast as he could. And then he finally arrived and found Kim Dokja sitting while his face focused on his phone.

"Hey!, What are you doing?" Rimuru asked, breaking Kim Dokja's focus and turned his attention to Rimuru.

"Oh, you're back.., the others have gone to search for rooms, why are you still here?" Kim Dokja asked while hiding his phone from Rimuru.

"I should ask the same thing to you"

Rimuru asked with a hint of suspicion, his eyes landing on the phone that Kim Dokja was holding.

"Are you playing games on your phone?!" Rimuru asked with a loud voice, but not that loud for anyone to hear. Nobody seemed to care anyways.

"Uh- I.., no.., im just brainstorming while staring at my phone." Kim Dokja answered calmly.

He almost got caught, he wasn't playing games, but he remembered Bihyung's words when he asked him if he was brainstorming while staring at an empty notepad on his phone. So he used it as an excuse, and Rimuru seemed to be convinced a little.

But Rimuru went to another topic.

"Hey, what's with this green zone anyway?, Is something going to happen?" Rimuru asked, he didn't read the clear conditions since he was busy avoiding people while running.

"It's for their safety, monsters will spawn later, so getting a zone will let you survive"

kim Dokja answered while staring at the people fighting for their lives in order to acquire a space for them in the green zone.

"You should go find your own, even though I doubt you need them for your own safety." Kim Dokja said with a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, yeah.., but if I find some space, I'm sure I'll give it to you. I can't let you die here after all, even if it means to fight those monsters for an hour"

Rimuru grinned. Kim Dokja could only look at him with a weak smile. Rimuru was willing to give his own space for Kim Dokja, but Kim Dokja knows that he won't be able to.

Because there's no rooms left for them to occupy. And he doubt that Rimuru would be willing kill someone for a room.

"I should go now then.., see you later." Rimuru waved his hands while running, until he completely disappeared from Kim Dokja's vision.

Suddenly, Lee jihye appeared behind him.

"You seemed quite laid back old man, to be flirty with an underaged girl. Aren't you worried for yourself?, Maybe you don't want to live anymore?."

"You seemed laid back as I am" Kim Dokja turned around and faced the girl, a grin appeared on the girls face.

"No one would dare to come near my room, they know the consequences of doing so."

The girl swung his sheathed sword back and forth as if it was ruler used by a teacher to teach.

"But I'm impressed you were able to keep standing after the impact earlier, your friend was also cool, no wonder you tried to flirt with her" Lee jihye smirked.

"I'm not flirting with him!. And yes he's a guy."

Kim Dokja exclaimed. His first sentence made Lee jihye raise an eyebrow but the second part made her mouth hanging.

"And also.., you don't necessarily have to find a room to survive." Kim Dokja changed back to being serious.

"Wha-, don't tell me, are you really that strong?" Lee jihye asked, slightky surprised.
Then a man clad in bkack suit stood behind her.

"You should return to your room"

it was Yoo Junghyuk, he quickly ordered Lee jihye to go back, and the girl quickly moved.

"Are you going to fight the monsters?, You'll die, and the others too." Yoo Junghyuk said before turning his back from Kim Dokja.

"We'll see about that" Kim Dokja smiled, then the man turned his back and walked away, leaving Kim Dokja alone, or so he thought.

Rimuru was being desperate to find a room to fit them all, he included the others now incase they didn't find a space.

Yet there was no room left to occupy, all of it were filled with people already. All of the people trembled as he took a step closer to them, of course Rimuru doesnt want to kill them, specially they were also desperate to survive.

'ive been running here on loop already!
there is no room left!'

Rimuru thought to himself. He stopped running to rest for a few seconds but then the notification came saying that the third main scenario has been activated.

This caused Rimuru to stand up and sprint fast as he could. The lives of his friends are in danger.

'i couldn't even get a break'

Rimuru thought to himself while running back to where he left Kim Dokja. But he wasn't there, so he continued to sprint to another location, he's eyes trying to match the his speed so he wouldn't miss out.

{I recommend to use the skill Magic sense..}

The robotic voice that was being silent was now speaking.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Rimuru exclaimed, but he was till thankful. He quickly activated his skill.

[The exclusive skill 'Magic Sense lvl.4' has been activated.]

Kim Dokja was now being chased by monsters, while he was carrying Lee Gilyoung. Both of them killed the monsters that came close.

Kim Dokja jumped in the air, they were almost there, yet a certain man was standing in the room he was supposed to occupy with Lee Gilyoung. It was Yoo Junghyuk.

Kim Dokja landed, "hey. Can you move aside?, I know you can survive without the room"

"I don't know, I'm a bit tired today." Yoo Junghyuk said, leaning his back at the glowing green.

Kim Dokja could only curse in his mind, but the sound of Lee Gilyoung's panting snapped him back at the situation. Yoo Junghyuk was also looking at the kid.

"Take the kid"

"Give me the child"

Both of them said at the same time. Kim Dokja quickly pushed Lee Gilyoung from him and handing him over to Yoo Junghyuk. Lee Gilyoung tried to step out but was held back by Yoo Junghyuk's arm.

[The Constellation 'Bald Leader Of The Peasants Army' closed his eyes.]

[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge Of Fire' is looking at you with pity.]

Kim Dokja was fighting the monsters alone. But he was quickly distracted by someone's thought.

'i told you, you would die'

Kim Dokja glanced at his back and saw Yoo Junghyuk staring at him.

The monsters came rushing towards him, but at the same time, words from a memory reminded him.

I wont include the coins in the terms of conditions, youre probably thinking of that right now aren't you?

It was rimuru's voice.

Ill give you something instead, I can create skills by combining them, and....

Kim Dokja grinned to himself, even though Rimuru didn't gave him some skills yet. But the last words from that memory made him speak.

"I'm not gonna die."

I won't let you die...

Kim Dokja declared it while his face looking towards Yoo Junghyuk, he declared it as if he wasn't really going to die, despite the monsters that he should pay attention to was coming close to him.

Yoo Junghyuk could only stare. The man who branded him as a companion was going to die while having a confident face.

But before the monsters reached the man. A red circle with symbols and indentified words appeared at the ground below the monsters.

[The exclusive skill 'Flare Circle lvl.2' has been activated.]

The circle below the monsters erupted with flames in a circular motion. Kim Dokja could only stare at awe, while he smiled widely.

[A number of constellation's are surprised by the sudden fire.]

"You won't die"

A familiar voice could be heared. Yoo Junghyuk looked for the source of that voice and found it.

[A few constellation's are screaming with excitement.]

"Because I wont let you.."

It was Rimuru.
