[Life votes -3000 (Death Votes)]
[Your total life votes is 40]
?
?!
"Whatttt?? It's cut by more than half?? What the hell!!!"
His life votes!!
Although he didn't know what its use was, since it was related to his lifespan in the [Ruin], it should be super important!!
Leinster collapsed to the ground and howled dramatically to the sky.
"Ahhh! My votes! Gone in the blink of an eye— you guys are unscrupulous people!"
Leinster hugged Rain the rabbit and burst into tears, just like the rabbit who was still mourning.
"Wuwuwuwuw, so sad! So sad! This world isn't worth it— let's die!"
"Uh, no, that's too extreme, I still don't wanna die."
The two people, one non-human and one...also non-human, wept bitterly for a few seconds before the non-human pretending to be a human finally blocked his tear ducts.
"Sniff. Sniff. Since you guys are so ruthless, so be it." Leinster pretended not to care as he looked around curiously.
"Anyway, where is my new master? How come they're not here even after so long?"
"Sob, sob, master? What master?" Rain the rabbit looked at Leinster as if he hit his brain with a brick and immediately ignored the question.
"Sob, sob, oh yes, I almost forgot...there's still one more thing."
Rain rubbed his eyes and then suddenly slapped his forehead dejectedly.
"Since you have successfully cleared the ruin, you can choose what to do with the ruin, sob sob."
DING! [You have received 1 Ruin Management Right]
A new panel floated in front of Leinster, showing the 3D map of the ruin that he had just cleared, along with three options.
[A. Destroy the ruin completely]
[B. Retain the ruin as it is (it will materialize in the real world without any danger)]
[C. Mutual destruction with one same-level ruin that has collapsed and materialized in the real world]
If Leinster was a true earthling, he would have rolled his eyes and cursed,
What is this? A dating sim game with multiple choices?
Unfortunately, before Leinster could even choose a "route", the panel was quickly enveloped with chains, slowly turning grey.
"Sob, sob, you can make your choice after you leave this space, sob sob."
Okay, another delayed reward, just like his pending blind box.
By now, Leinster was already impatient to leave this place and study his rewards meticulously.
"If that's all, can I leave now? My rewards are waiting."
"Sob, sob, yes you can, b-but just to inform you, y-your death votes have entered the Death Ranking list, sob sob."
The rabbit suddenly dropped a bomb.
"I-if you are at the top 3, y-you won't be able to enter League 3, sob, sob….you will be eliminated on the spot!"
Death Ranking? League 3? Elimination?
Leinster's right eyelid twitched.
He suddenly felt an ominous omen.
"Wait, wait, wait, what are you talking about?? Explain— "
Ignoring Leinster's clutch on its leg, the rabbit suddenly lifted its other leg and...
Kicked Leinster hard.
Bang!
"Ahhhh!!"
Leinster felt a huge pushing force kicking his whole body out of the white space and the surroundings instantly twisted like crazy.
Leinster's brain became mushy and nausea rose to his throat.
"Ugh! Ugh— "
Just when Leinster was about to puke...
The twisting space spat him out and he fell onto a hard surface.
Bang!
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! My butt!"
Leinster subconsciously rubbed his butt as he grimaced in pain but it was as if God couldn't bear to see him idle.
He was instantly greeted by a familiar thing floating in the air.
[00:40:00]
Leinster rubbed his eyes and looked at the floating countdown again...
Yeah, it was still there.
Even the faint ticking sound was exactly the same as the one he had before.
Leinster's face was instantly squeezed into a bitter lemon.
"Ahhh! What the hell is going on??"
Why is he still bound by that damn countdown??
And this 40 minutes...it must be from his life votes because he could see his life votes dwindling by one vote for every minute.
Ah...was he still inside that [Ruin] or something?
Having been tricked once, Leinster didn't stand up in a hurry.
On the contrary, he endured his aching butt and looked around vigilantly.
What appeared in front of his eyes was a long corridor with many doors on the left and right side, invoking something deep in Leinster's memories.
Huh? This interior design...it looked similar to the one in the [Ruin].
Leinster's heart rose to his throat.
Don't tell him...is this still the same place as before??
As if to answer Leinster's doubt, the silence in the corridor was broken by a shrill scream of a woman.
"Ahhh! T-that thing is here!"
Rapid footsteps, shouts and screams from men and women alike quickly approached from the end of the corridor.
"Run! Run! Run!"
"Go upstairs!"
"No, no, enter the corridor! There's one ruin that has just been cleared— "
The man's voice halted abruptly.
BANG!
