As Ken had done talking with Jung Heewon, who was left standing in daze after realizing her supporting constellation's tastes.
He really didn't have anyone to talk with, since except Sangah, Dokja and Sooyoung, she isn't at all close to any of the members.
But even then, Lee Hyunsung was friendlier to him, since he was. That's just how gullible he is. When they were talking to each other, he found out the actual reason Hyunsung was friendlier than normal to him.
According to him, Ken actually took a lot of blows from Shin Yoosung of the forty first round for both Dokja and Joonghyuk. Only then did Ken understand why he was out of mana, even though reader's pov stage two is supposed to be really efficient, more so, with hyper-creativity active.
He simply took hits so much, to the point that he burned mana to regenerate more than normal. But the thing bugging Ken was that, even then, why did his regeneration not level up to six if he got damaged so much.
Not knowing what to do right now. He thought of striking up a conversation with Jihye, since they kind of do indeed know each other. But the moment Joonghyuk came into the conversation, the point of the conversation completely tilted.
When she suddenly remembered something, she asked him as to why Joonghyuk seems to hate Ken. To the point that it always looks like he will kill Ken if he ever got the chance.
Which is why Ken had to explain what happened during the final king's qualification, which kind of threw Jihye off, making her fall into a deep contemplation.
Seeing that she's also like that, Ken simply walks away, not knowing what to do. 'Just simply wait until the announcement for the sixth scenario starts.'

[Reader's POV (Stage 2) has been deactivated.]
When Ken opened his eyes, he saw that he was just behind the others. And he knew a few things.
First of all, beside the story he wanted, he also wanted to learn electrification from Kyrgios. But it seems like he can't. The reason is because he needed the white star's pure energy, the technique of Kyrgios's sect. Without it, nothing from Kyrgios can be learnt. And he didn't have it.
He can indeed buy it. But there, he learned the second thing.
Second of all. He has the dark star weapon aura. Which is supposed to turn into energy after level ten. Since it is bound to become a cultivation technique of sorts later on, it is sure to clash with that of white star pure energy.
But the biggest problem was that, there is a worse fact going on.
Ken walked up to Dokja and Joonghyuk, who were on the very front. Joonghyuk was talking with Dokja about paying back for the beating he took during the final king's qualification.
But just as he noticed the presence of Ken beside him. His entire face turned full of anger and he started muttering something to himself.
Ken. Who had reading as a skill, which was still somehow level four. He could read at least one thing easily. And that was reading the lip.
Just like he expected. Joonghyuk was going on about how brutally he will beat up Ken. He was also talking about how he will not kill him, since Ken is still pretty valuable. But since he has regeneration, and an extremely strong one at that, he wouldn't need to hold back.
But Ken was not that worried. Since the things he learned with reader's pov, he realized that Joonghyuk is never getting to beat Ken up.
Just then the new dokkaebi, temporarily in charge, appeared and started an emergency announcement. Which was that, there will be eight people instead of ten, who can go.
The main reason being that because of a dimensional rift, two people already crossed over. And this is exactly the thing Ken got to know after he used the reader's pov. This must be the reason the sixth scenario started four days earlier than scheduled.
Ken patted harder than ever on Dokja's back and said that he will retreat in this scenario. After saying that, he simply walked away like nothing happened.
Although he looked like he wasn't bothered at all. But in reality, he was feeling depressed. But again, it was not the feeling of real depression, since he had gone through it after the review of probability that was done on him.
He simply walked way from the whole crowd, and slowly, he came on the bank of the Han river. 'I need something to vent my anger on… and they are just perfect.'
It was pretty obvious as to what he was going to do. As a dark aura with an ice energy enveloped his entire sword. He rushed into the river.
—***—
At night, when Ken was sitting on top of a building, looking at the sky, not knowing what to do. Yeah, he did know what to do. But he still felt that he did not have any direction on what he should do.
As he was looking at the sky, suddenly he saw something. Countless shooting star or something like that falling from the sky.
Since he was pretty much on the outskirts of the main part of Seoul, he really couldn't understand what they were. But he did see that they gathered at the middle of Seoul.
Without paying much attention to them, thinking they are some other things the rules of scenario is doing. He was more focused on another thing.
[Main scenario 7: Monster hunting.]
[Difficulty: S.]
[Description: Defeat the monsters with a red cross on their body to receive reward based on their difficulty.]
[Time limit: Until the end of sixth scenario.]
[Reward: For the incarnation who defeats the most of these marked monsters, they will get a special reward of their choosing.]
[Penalty for failure: None.]
The reason Ken was here right for this exact reason. He saw a giant wold just like that, with a glowing red cross on its body. The only problem was that the monster was tier four. And the bigger problem was that it was with a pack of other ones just like, which were tier five.
It was right under this building, sleeping soundly.
Ken thought about something for a while before taking out multiple ice pills and gulping all of them down in one go.
[Ice energy is exuding from your body.]
[You have gained an additional 680% ice property damage.]
[A heart freezing chill runs in your entire body.]
The same feeling and the same disgustingly dangerous effect before the fight with Myung Ilsang enveloped Ken's entire body.
As his body started to break down and also regenerate at the same time just like last time. Ken jumped from the top of the building, directly stabbing his sword into the neck of that monster. Which not only killed it, but froze its entire body and the sorroundings.
[You have killed the tier 4, demonic monster. Shadow wolf.]
[You are the first one to do that.]
[You have been rewarded 25,000 coins for your achievement.]
[You have been given 2,000 coins for killing a marked monster of tier 4.]
As a lot of ice energy escaped Ken's body, he felt a bit better. But at the sane time, multiple tier five wolfs like that had become aware of him.
[Multiple constellations are really excited for what is about to happen.]
"Ugh… Guess I will be having some big trouble."
