Chapter 791: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 72
Byul’s new movie, despite him trying to break out from his teenage role, was actually centered around an esper academy. The protagonist was a student who had lost his spirit and motivation because of a certain trauma. Of course, Byul would play as this student.
The plot itself wasn’t very complicated, but the characters had depth and overall, it was a fun movie for all ages. The focus would be on how the protagonist found his way back to his brilliant self through interaction with people around him and working through his trauma.
The most important event, taking more than half of the movie, was the dungeon break happening inside the academy. It was the source of the protagonist’s trauma, as well as his way to regain his old self.
Byul...just never thought that a real dungeon break would happen right in front of the rest area beside the filming location.
Naturally, it was chaos. The dungeon seemed to be an anomaly that immediately broke after manifesting. Thankfully, the damage only happened to buildings, vehicles, and equipment. Perhaps because they had been training as an esper, most of the actors could act immediately and flee from the location instead of standing still in panic.
Byul, who had spent all his life around espers, was one of the early escapees. He immediately pressed the emergency button on his commlink and pulled the manager toward the building.
But then, he realized that some people--filming crews, some young actors, and several passersby--were stuck in fear from the blasting mana and miasma swirling around the breaking gate. Soon, the beasts from the gate would pour out and get those people.
Before thinking about it thoroughly, Byul already moved his body.
Securities tried their best to pull the frozen people to their feet and into the safety of the building across the yard behind them, but there were too many people and only four security. What bad luck it was, for this to happen when there was no action scene--which meant the esper supervising their movement wasn’t there.
As he ran toward the stuck people, Byul thought about his hyung. His emergency alert would go straight to Kar, but Byul also knew that the esper was in the middle of a dungeon raid. Even if he wasn’t, it would take time to get to this place.
Let’s...just do what I can for now.
