"Mr. Kim Shin, what happened to the giant clam and what is that?"

Kristine who quickly appeared behind Kim Shin questioned in puzzlement.

"Hmm. This? Look for yourself!"

Kim Shin was startled a bit by Kristine sudden appearance as he casually replied and tossed the green pearl to Kristine.

"Huh? What do you mean? I know it's a green pearl…"

Kristine was baffled by Kim Shin's words as she caught the green pearl.

"Shut up, just thought appraise word as you look at the pearl.."

Annoyed by Kristine's questions, Kim Shin raised his voice as he instructed Kristine who's looking at him weirdly.

Kristine was taken aback by the sudden raised of Kim Shin's voice. She didn't know what she had done to upset this demon in disguise. She also felt weird because this is the first time she encountered a man that treated her poorly.

Since, she was a kid, nobody tried to treat her like how Kim Shin converse with her. Everywhere she was, lots of guy will do anything just to get her attention and affection. Except with her appearance and academics, Kristine was also from a prominent family. So, never in her whole life that someone treated her like Kim Shin.

'Seems like, he wants me to leave him alone.'

Kristine thought while still looking at Kim Shin.

"What are you looking?"

Kim Shin irritatedly asked with annoyed expression.

"N-Nothing…"

Kristine stuttering denied, afraid to anger Kim Shin more.

The reason why Kim Shin is upset was the dropped item of the Giant Clam. He's pissed off since he fought a battle n.a.k.e.d underwater and only got a bunch of experience points and a limited use item that not valuable for him.

That's right, after the Giant Clam dragged Kim Shin underwater. He immediately unequipped all his items so they won't get destroyed. However after all his effort he didn't get even a single good item.

Phew!

Kim Shin heaved a sighed of defeat.

While Kim Shin was silently cursing, Kristine on the other hand began to appraise the green pearl on her hand.

"Whoa. The information popped out.."

"This item could be replaced for the lost of the pond guardian!"

She exclaimed in disbelief, she thought that after killing the pond guardian, it will be hard for them to survive the next waves.

"Yea, yeah. Let's go, I already want to eat and take a long rest."

Kim Shin casually said as he quickly jumped out of the deep hole.

"Wait for me—"

Kristine was about to follow when suddenly the ground start shaking.

SHAKE!

TREMBLE!

Kim Shin frowned at the sudden earthquake. He doesn't remember anything about the earthquake at this time.

"W-what's happening?"

Kristine questioned whose b.u.t.t on the ground because she slipped when the earthquake began when she's about to jump.

The earthquake continued for a few minutes and eventually stopped.

"Hey, do you have any idea at what just happened?"

Kristine immediately asked when she finally got out of the deep hole.

"I don't. But I'm sure we will be informed at any moment about the earlier event."

Kim Shin seriously answered while still frowning.

Ding!

Indeed, Kim Shin was right, after his words, the system suddenly alerted them.

CLICK!

[System Announcement]

One of the batches of Tutorial earthlings successfully killed a guardian pond that triggered the hidden event.

3. Already killed someone.

Apply now! There are lots of surprises waiting for you inside the Killer's Tower.

Join now! So you can be the next beginners Killer King!

Do you want to apply [ YES / NO ]

Kim Shin was utterly shocked. He knew this event but he never expected this to be this early. It was supposed to happen at the sixth day of the tutorial stage. This also one of the reason he didn't immediately grind a level. He's waiting for this to come.

Now, that it came earlier than he expected, Kim Shin felt lucky. Since, there's only few strong murderer at this time around.

He can dominate this event without worry and get the top prize. Which he doesn't have any idea what it is. However he was certain that it was something significant and useful, since it was a top prize.

While smiling creepily, He unhesitatingly clicked the 'Yes' for apply.

Ding!

[Thanks for applying. You will be informed about what to do next at later time]

The system responded after he applied for the event.

"Did you apply in that hidden event?"

Kristine softly asked since she knew that Kim Shin already killed someone which Kim Shin answered with a single nod.

"It seems like I couldn't accompany your team any longer. I need to join this event."

Kim Shin apologetically said.

"How about Kiarra? Are you going to inform her?"

Kristine continued to ask. Because, it's Kiarra who wished her to help Kim Shin, and if she got back without Kim Shin. Kiarra will certainly get mad at her.

"I'll personally tell her that I'm leaving but I won't inform her about my plan. So, please hide it for me.."

Kim shin sincerely answered as he asked for favor.

"Okay. How about this Pearl of Protection?"

Kristine inquired as she showed to Kim Shin the green pearl on her hand.

"You could take that, just promise to protect Kiarra."

He kindly gifted the pearl. Since, it doesn't have any use for him.

"You don't need to tell me that. Also I won't thank you for this since I also help you to defeat the pond guardian…"

Kristine strongly pointed.
