I heard the message saying the status window can be accessed. It was something I was already knew would happen.
"Status window."
I muttered out the command and my information slowly entered my mind.

So this is my status window. The setting of the novel was similar to a video game. If the world has changed into the world of destruction, then all players should have attributes and skills.
I took notice of each and every one of my information. The first was the attribute. Attributes are classes unique to a character. They are basically the reflection of a player's personality or traits.
For instance, If I was a gamer before the scenarios, I will have the gamer attribute. It is a pretty good attribute that increases the player's adaptability in all games. It couldn't be compared to the Pro Gamer attribute though.
There was another attribute in my possession but it seems part of it was blocked from the eyes. I think I know what it is about. Maybe my information was blocked because it was related to my status as the reader of the World of Nightmares.
There was a good reason for my judgement. When I looked at my skills, I knew my line of thinking was correct.
[Exclusive Skill: Zero One]
Rank: ■■
[Exclusive Skill: Black Box]
Rank: ■■
...
These skills were foreign to me. They were skills without a description.
What's going on? Why was my information blocked?
I thought it was strange.
Was there an error in the system? My skills didn't even have a description. How was di supposed to
More importantly, why hasn't that stupid fairy noticed yet?
From my memory, even if that girl was a cheeky brat, she wouldn't be so careless enough to miss an error like this. In the first place, the System was absolute so it was impossible for an error to even exist in the first place.
Next, I analysed my overall stats one by one. In the end, I frowned my brows.
My stats were utterly weak.
The average stats of a human was between Lv. 3 to Lv. 5 and the stats of a trained soldier in the military was around Lv. 8 to Lv. 10, yet mine were all Lv. 1?
It was almost laughable but it was not surprising.
After staring into the empty space for a while, I stopped thinking about it and activated one of my unique skills.
[Personal skill, 'Black Box' has activated.]
In the next instant, it felt like gears started turning in my head. My mind was suddenly flooded with information.
It was information about Songs of Nightmares.
It was everything including the 1999 chapters and the characters within the Songs of the Fall. They were all stored inside my head.
It took me less than a minute to find what I was looking for.
Found it. I stopped at the beginning of the work where that person first appeared in the hospital. Information starting flowing.
「 He killed the woman infront of him. There was no lingering guilt. The blood of the first victim dripped from the swiss knife.
He wanted for the world's destruction even if it was a passing thought. When the opportunity arrived, he made his move without hesitation.
The people shivered in fear at the overwhelming violence. His smile began to widen dangerously.
Everything was fleeting.
He looked at the people as if they were prey. After a while, the swiss knife moved and blood flew.
Afterwards, an eerie silence filled the hospital like a graveyard.
"T-That..."
"Face it. The world we know is coming to an end. That is the truth. Do you think you can survive while being held down by your morals?"
The people shoulders began to shake. Their morality was currently fighting against their survival instincts.
Suddenly, the system notification rang out loudly.
[There is only five minutes left for the trial.]
The people trembled at those words. They immediately realised the message behind those words.
「 If there is no killing in five minutes, everyone will die. 」
To hit the final nail on the coffin, Shin Jinhyuk smiled as if he was waiting for something like this. That bastard was in no danger since he had already passed the trial.
"So what will you do now? Will you stand still and die or will you kill to survive? I don't know which choice you will make but you don't do someyin five minutes, you will definitely die."
That was the final blow. The people looked at each other with different eyes.
「 If I don't kill then I will die. 」
They were all thinking about the same thing. When they heard Nam Jinhyuk's words, the thread of reasoning inside their head finally snapped.
The people began to move.
"Fuck! Come here."
A fat man grabbed a stranger and threw the first punch.
"Hey! Don't come any closer!"
"Ah fuck! I don't care anymore! Die!"
There was the second and then third. One by one, the people starting attacking each other aiming for the other party's death.
"Die! Die! Die!
"Aiiik!"
Some used their fists, some used any items their hands could find while others ganged up against one person. It didn't matter. It was all senseless violence.
Truly, humans were rather simple beings. If you put them in a tough situation, they will immediately turn to violence like wild animals.
"Shit, that bastard."
"Shouldn't we stop this?"
Angelica, who was holding my sleeve, finally spoke. Her delicate hands were shaking uncontrollably. It seems it was about time to move.
"Angelica, find somewhere and hide. The situation has spiralled out of control."
"Wh-What? W-Where are you going?!"
"Just do as I say. Quick! Hide!"
After forcibly pushing Angelica and hid her behind the register, I turned around and took a deep breath.
I looked around the crowd and studied their faces one by one There was someone I was looking for.
My target was not Shin Jinhyuk but I'll get to him later. If I fought him without a weapon then I'll definitely die.
Found him!
After spotting a familiar character in the background, I kicked the ground for a forward leap.
I avoided the people fighting among each other by moving side to side and then slammed into the back of someone.
"What? What are you... Eeeeok!"
"I'm sorry."
The man I crashed into fell to the ground and groaned. I quickly pulled the firearm hidden in his pants and walked away.
Moving through the crowd, I hid the item in my clothes. I didn't want anyone to see the what I was carrying or this battlefield will turn into a blood bath.
It was then I found myself facing Shin Jinhyuk and called out.
"You."
"Huh?"
Shin Jinhyuk turned his head when he heard me speak. Next, I spoke the words that I never imagined I would say for the first time.
"I shall kill you."
No matter what, I can't let Shin Jinhyuk leave this place. I had to make sure this hospital will be his resting place.
