Chapter 374: I Refuse

Chapter 374: I Refuse

"You said you had a reason, it better be good," Haru spoke while looking at Dok-ja. In his mind, Dok-ja has been a cautious individual who didn't like taking risks if he could avoid them.

'So, what could compel him to do something which could get him in deep trouble, when he can easily live peacefully in my group?' Haru has had that thought for a long time.

[Don't test my patience! Sit on the Throne!] The Dokkaebi looked like he was going to blow up because of his anger.

"What? I don't think there was a time limit within which I absolutely need to sit on the throne, I am handling a matter here, so get a hint, will you?" Haru chiding the Dokkaebi was enough to make everyone drop their jaws in shock.

'He looks like he'll really just blow up like a balloon,' Dok-ja thought as he looked at the trembling Dokkaebi.

"Anyway, how long will you take?" But he was brought back to the main topic when he heard Haru.

"If the Absolute Throne is used..." Dok-ja looked at Haru's eyes without wavering and completed his words, "...The world will end."

The Absolute Throne borrows power from a 'Ruler' from the dark dimension and using its power even once dooms the world for destruction.

The one who uses it will be able to subdue all of his enemies and have them work for him, but the prize for using this power is the end of the very world since no one will be able to reach the final scenario.

'Jung-hyuk didn't learn about this until his 41st regression, but I already know about it, and I know that I won't need to explain the reason to the person in front of me, for some time that is because....' Dok-ja thought he looked at Haru.

"I see," Haru said and Dok-ja was stumped that this was the reaction he got, it was a plain reaction but he knew that Haru was thinking about it, also...

'Did he use his skill on me already? I didn't feel anything this time,' Even then Dok-ja just shook his head as this wasn't the time for that.

'This is more complicated than I thought,' Haru was deep in thought after hearing about what would happen if he used the Absolute Throne, he was sure that Dok-ja was not lying.

And honestly, if this world ended he wouldn't care, but the problem was that he would be linked with the throne and whatever it was borrowing power from.

Haru could see it being connected to something and the source was anything but good.

'So, this could ...No this will definitely affect them as well,' Haru thought while looking at his group.

'Yeah, I can't allow that,' Haru ran several simulations in his head to figure out what could happen if he chooses to sit on the throne along with the information he had.

[Will you sit on the Throne or not?] And while Haru was doing that, the Dokkaebi was losing patience; his face was dripping with anger as lightning crackled around him.

"Hmm, yeah I made up my mind, I..." Haru nodded and as he stopped the others got nervous "...I Refuse."

"Thank god he didn't say anything like, I want to eat some ice cream," Hee-won didn't know she would be so relieved to see Haru act normal for once in a tense situation.

"I do want some though," But she deadpanned when she heard his voice.

'I spoke too early, didn't I?' Hee-won thought as Hae-in laughed. She really looked like she would go and get some ice cream for Haru if it wasn't for Kanae stopping her.

[Many Constellations are stumped by the current events.]

'That is indeed how it is, anyone else would be tempted to sit on that throne after that,' Dok-ja thought as he looked at the smile on Haru's face, 'But I know that Haru-ssi will not because...'

"And there aren't any drawbacks to using its power?" Haru asked and the Dokkaebi sighed.

[I understand that you don't really trust us, but this is what you have earned after going through hardships, This is your reward, Since when did rewards start to have drawbacks?] The Dokkaebi said with a twitching face.

"I see, you should've said that from the beginning," Haru shook his head and the Dokkaebi Paul smirked.

[So, sit on it now,]

"I never said I will sit on the throne though?" Haru said that with a shrug, his face looked really smug right now.

'That Dokkaebi was too naïve,' Hee-won thought while sighing as...

"He fell right into that one," Hae-in looked amused.

[You maggots cannot pass the Fifth Scenario without this Throne. So, if no one sits on it you all will die here and it will be all this man's fault.]

"What?"

"No, what the hell? Just sit on the throne!"

"Yeah, what the hell are you doing?"

'This bastard!' Dok-ja looked at the Dokkaebi, he tried to throw the crowd in disarray when he couldn't persuade Haru.

"No, I have already made my decision," Haru wasn't going to change his decision.

[Alright, if you won't listen then,] The Dokkaebi snapped his fingers and...
