Breaking News!

`Chairman Kim's Dark secrets surface after his death, most recent his secret Grandchild--...`

The news reporter continued, as the others tried getting some information and photos of a young man, leaving the funeral home. He is dressed in a formal, three-piece black suit, consisting of a long coat, vest, and matching trousers. The suit appears to be made of a high-quality, dark fabric, possibly wool or a wool-blend, and is tailored to fit him well. Something only someone form a wealthy background could afford the most noticeable thing on him being The silver pocket watch and his neck.

My name is Kim Woo-jin. i have one problem... The blinding light of the cameras piercing my eyes as i walked towards my car, i was blinded by the lights and only saw white. The street was filled with reporter they're loud and constant shots betraying the cold and cloudy day, others climbing onto street lights just to take a photo but no one dared to cross the line and directly approach me.

"Please look over here!"

A news reporter yelled his voice more demanding than asking.

"Young man!-

Another reporter stepped in shoving his red mic Into Kim Woo-jin's face.

"Kim Woo-jin! what do you have to say on the passing of your grandfather Chairman Kim!?"

I honestly had nothing to say to these people who so desperately wanted answers for their own benefit of course. I smiled half heatedly giving thm the innocence thy wated to see.

"It pains me greatly... i wish he had lived longer~"

They're jaws dropped this was an amazing scoop "Chairman Kim Jun's grandson angel!" They wanted more, who his mother was, where has he been hiding all along but Kim Woo-jin had no interest in answering any of it he'll play the angle since they're at least KNOW him.

The crowd was relentless as i got in my driver closed the door. I stared at the cold glass wondering if anyone who knows me would peer through the glass.

"where to next?" The driver asked.

"anywhere but here..."

I said looking down at my feet my hair slightly disheveled my eyes having a lifeless blank expression unlike the cheerful smile i had just shown.

I thought to himself:

My grandmother has died and i am one of his dirty secrets he kept from the public. I took out the pocket watch he gave me a futuristic pocket watch with a sleek and sophisticated design. The pocket watch has a silver-colored metal body with an intricate floral pattern etched into its surface. he wore as a pendant. "why would he give me this." I asked sighing not even my own grandfather Knows me. Noticing the time i looked up at the traffic.

"what's taking so long?" i asked worriedly

The driver had an uneasy expression adjusting his hat as he swallowed hard the man looked pale "I-I have no idea-"

I stared outside noticing people running the opposite way, screaming, they looked injured horrified as if something was chasing them. "What the-?!.."

Suddenly loud screams and explosions were Heard from afar the scene ahead was chaos flames burning and cars being tossed in the air. Only one thought crossed my mind "RUN" i immediately tried opening the door and realizing it was locked i yelled at the driver "Hey! what are you doing open th doors we need to get out of here!!"

He was frozen frustrated i moved to the front of the car then finally saw what had the man frozen, a creature that couldn't be real. Huge green feet it was something straight from a game it made a pig like squick holding a large wooden mase it suddenly swang it with so much force it sent the car flying. It slammed Into a nearby building the impact was so powerful it destroyed the building the car getting stuck inside inside the debris. There was more ruble just falling onto the car the creature which could only be described as an orc continued to destroy everything in it's pass. I opened my eyes, nearly blind my head bleeding covered in wounds and scratches it was unbearable pain.

"Ugh.."

I granted barely able to see anything but my upside down vision was enough to see the dead driver hanging from his seat and the utter chaos outside it was just fire smoke and the screams of others, i slid out of the car seat crawling away from the car the pocket watch around my neck reflecting the flames around him, the air filled with smoke i could hear the building crumbling it was a convenience store because of all the canned food and ramen noodles maybe some packs scattered around the place. As I thought I had finally escapede death i heard large footprints behind me... i froze looking behind to see another Orc with it's Mase held high with a swift swing it crushed Kim Woo-jin in an instant his death was was so quick it almost seemed worthless dying on the spot.

After a few minutes... blue interface popped up above his lifeless body casting a blue light on his lifeless broken body.

A Flash!!

The reporters i had seen earlier asked the same questions.

"Please look over here!"

A news reporter yelled again his voice more demanding than asking. This is the prt were the female reporter says...

"Young man!-" That... then the guy with a red mic

he steps in shoving his red mic Into Kim Woo-jin's face.

"Kim Woo-jin! what do you have to say on the passing of your grandfather Chairman Kim!?"

I was frozen still, I clearly remember answering all this and leaving and.... "I Died."

My expression hardened remembering the insane events that's transpired perhaps it was a crazy dream, Orcs do not exist that's just game monsters i sighed.

I got in the car it was deja vu, I laugh "the end of the world and orcs? how silly of me..."

After saying That a System interface appeared in front of me again.

[Regression complete]

I blinked. "huh?..." I tried touching it and it felt like a smooth glass surface. I turned to my driver Ji-ho my expression with a smile that was asking "I'm not insane am i?"

"Ji-ho can you see this too?"

Park Ji-ho looked back at Kim Woo-jin with a raised brow.

"See what exactly?"

"This blue screen!" I Yelled

"a blue screen?" He asked.

We started arguing in th car I saw the strange atmosphere outside same like i had in my dream and once again an explosion tht filled th air with a thick smoke and screams from afar it was chaotic people running away and a familiar squeak the Orc that attacked me before was there again it raised it's mase before i could react it swang down onto the car crushing it the sound of glass shuttering and blood splattered all around I died once again...
