Chapter 105

Things That Can’t Be Changed (4)

[I’m sorry but that’s a bit difficult . ]

I thought it was time for this guy to come out . It was the fucking intermediate dokkaebi . This guy managed the entire Seoul scenario and couldn’t help moving at this time .

However, I was a bit confident . “Why is it difficult? We aren’t breaking the scenario’s rules . ”

[Spare the disaster? Are you insane? You must want to die . ]

“No, it is the opposite . I am doing this to live . ”

The voice of the intermediate dokkaebi became harder .

[Don’t you know that this is a violation of the rules? The content of the scenario is to kill the disaster . If you don’t stick to the scenario…]

“Don’t worry . I will kill the disaster . ” Everyone looked at me the moment I said these words .

“Ahjussi, what are you…?” In particular, Lee Jihye looked at me like I was a psychopath .

It wasn’t strange . I previously said I wouldn’t kill the disaster and now I said I would . Most of the party members were waiting for my next words . I felt a bit flattered by the trusting silence .

“Just not right now . ”

[What?]

“The scenario doesn’t indicate a time limit . Then it is up to us when we want to kill the disaster . ” The intermediate dokkaebi looked like he had eaten Chinese medicine . “Thus, there is no need to rush . ”

The disaster Shin Yoosung looked up at me with a bemused expression . She hadn’t known that such a thing was possible .

[The constellation ‘Scribe of Heaven’ is looking at you with strange eyes . ]

The agitation of the constellations couldn’t be felt . There weren’t many episodes that rebelled against the scenario, even when I searched all of Ways of Survival . That’s why it was of great interest to the constellations .

This was particularly true in situations where the distinction between good and evil was ambiguous . The number of subscribers from the absolute good or absolute evil constellations would rise in an overwhelming manner . It was their daily routine to discern the good and evil of the characters .

[I can’t allow it . ]

“Are you going to interfere in another scenario? Have you forgotten what happened last time?”

[…]

My confidence came from the fact that this was a main scenario, not a sub-scenario .

It was also the fifth scenario that was scaled to engulf all of the dome, making it difficult for the intermediate dokkaebi to change the criteria of the scenario . In addition, the intermediate dokkaebi had already received disciplinary action from the bureau .

He must be afraid of being punished again and didn’t have much chance of winning this fight against me .

I saw Bihyung biting his nails nearby and told him, ‘Be prepared . If something happens, you are the only one I can believe in . ’

–Dammit, why should I?

‘Don’t forget that we will die together . ’

Bihyung settled down and the intermediate dokkaebi opened his mouth .

[Very interesting . But it won’t turn out as you think . ]

Yes, I knew he wouldn’t give up easily .

[Not all incarnation in Seoul Dome are the same as you . ]

The intermediate dokkaebi flicked his finger . Then system messages popped up .

[A new sub-scenario has arrived!]

I knew what he was thinking . If he couldn’t touch the main scenario then he would set up the sub-scenario .

[From now on, I will double the bounty on the disaster . ]

The original compensation was 100,000 coins and it was doubled, which meant 200,000 coins . It was an amount that could make someone rise to the top of Seoul Dome in an instant . It was enough to risk their lives…

For some reason, no incarnations came running .

“Don’t move . ”

“Cherish your lives . If you don’t want to die like moths!”

The powerful kings were controlling the incarnations . They were King of Beauty Min Jiwon and Maitreya King Cha Sangkyung . There was also the Neutral King, Jeon Ildo .

[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is proud of the incarnations on the Korean Peninsula . ]

Of course, there were forces that the kings couldn’t control but they also didn’t act . They had already seen the power of the disaster . It was natural that a small number of people wouldn’t act, regardless of whether the reward was 100,000 or 200,000 coins . There was also our party covering the disaster Shin Yoosung…

[…How disappointing . The incarnations of Seoul Dome are cowards . ]

There was an ominous feeling in the air . The intermediate dokkaebi was thinking about how to make this situation worse . I had to act quickly . At this point, I had to go for victory .

“Do you yield? Honestly, won’t everyone be satisfied?”

[Everyone will be satisfied?]

I didn’t say anything else . I’m sure the intermediate dokkaebi understood without me saying anything .

[Haha, I see . Is that what you were thinking? I heard from Dokgak but you truly put on a great show . ]

The reason for the existence of the dokkaebis was the scenarios . They were the scenarios that many constellations responded to and many constellations liked .

In the world of the Star Stream, there was only one case where there was a miracle that reversed the scenario . It was if the majority of constellations saw the scenario and wanted to change the direction of the scenario .

[…Certainly, violence isn’t the only stimulus . ]

I tried to appeal to the constellations with disaster Shin Yoosung’s situation . I chose words to avoid the filtering and continued to ignite the constellations by exposing information . I made them sympathize with the disaster Shin Yoosung .

It was all to support my rebellion . As a result, this whole situation was created . Indeed, I could hear the messages of the constellations in my ears .

[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ respects your will . ]

[The constellation ‘Last Hero of Hwangsanbeol’ admires your will . ]

Everything was going as planned .

“If you understand then can you decide now? Give me the reward or continue with the fifth scenario . ”

There was no problem with continuing the sixth scenario even if the fifth scenario hadn’t ended . It was possible to run multiple main scenarios . If the dokkaebi was smart then he should stop while the constellations were satisfied .

[Incarnation Kim Dokja . You are the smartest and scariest out of all the incarnations I know . ]

I felt a strange sense of incongruity from the dokkaebi’s expression .

[However, it is this cleverness that is grabbing at your ankles . ]

“…What does that mean?”

The dokkaebi’s following words weren’t for me .

[Okay Constellations . Now I will show you the story you have been waiting for . ]

Sparks filled the air . The intermediate dokkaebi was moving the scenario .

[The intermediate dokkaebi has intervened in the scenario . ]

[According to the scenario contract, control of the ‘Disaster of Floods Shin Yoosung’ has been transferred to the intermediate dokkaebi . ]

Shin Yoosung’s expression started to change at the system messages .

“N-No . Wait . I… aaaack!”

A black aura rose from disaster Shin Yoosung’s body . I hurriedly shouted, “Wait! What are you doing?”

[I am fulfilling the contract . This is a cog in the scenario . ]

I only realized now what he was trying to do . It was the scenario enforcement right . It was the power to control the fate of all ‘parts’ involved in the scenario . I knew it existed in Ways of Survival but I didn’t think it would be used immediately .

[The personality of the character is forcibly changed . ]

[The personality of the character ‘Shin Yoosung’ will be fixed to ‘evil . ’]

The disaster Shin Yoosung was becoming a monster . I bit my lip . The scenario enforcement generally wasn’t used because the dokkaebi consumed a lot of probability . But to use it now…

[Many constellations are cheering the development of the scenario . ]

[Many constellations hate your new drama . ]

It could only be used if many constellations agreed to this development . Dammit, why?

“Dokja-ssi?”

“Hyung!”

The party members nervously approached my side . They realized that something was wrong . However, I couldn’t understand . Why had the constellations suddenly turned their backs on me?

Bihyung’s expression was dark as he looked at the sky .

–Sorry, I tried to persuade them but it didn’t work .

‘Why…’

–Your reputation is worse than you expected .

The intermediate dokkaebi said, [Arrogant incarnation . Do you think the constellation would be that easy?]

…Then what about all the favourable indirect messages?

[Well, humans originally have the habit of believing what they want to believe .

I had misjudged due to the indirect messages that popped up one after another .

[Many constellations are laughing at your decision . ]

[Some constellations have withdrawn their support for you . ]

That’s right . Not all constellations sent indirect messages . Only a small number of constellations sent messages .

[Many constellations are wary of your intentions . ]

It might be natural that public opinion was bad towards me . I cheated them through a trick and canceled the event . The constellations probably already knew that Bihyung’s channel had a capacity of 9,999 . They knew but had been deceived by my scenario . Now they were no longer fooled .

[The constellations of the Korean Peninsula are looking at you sadly . ]

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is looking at you with compassion . ]

Maybe I was too shallow when I thought about the constellations .

[It seems like your luck ends here, Incarnation Kim Dokja . ]

“Ahhhhh!”

A disturbing aura flowed from the body of Shin Yoosung who had been forced to become evil . It was a killing intent that felt like it could melt flesh . The incarnations screamed and fled . I could see Yoo Jonghyuk pulling out Heaven Shaking Sword in the distance .

[I hope you show a good scenario to the end . ]

I slowly withdrew from the disaster . Shin Yoosung’s face distorted sadly . It ended up like this . I quickly glanced at Yoo Jonghyuk . Things had turned out this way and it was obvious what choice he would make .

“Wait a minute, Yoo Jonghyuk . ”

“You have failed . ”

“Don’t touch the child . ” I hid the young Shin Yoosung behind my back . “I won’t forgive you if you touch this child . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk glared at me . “There is no other way . ”

A way… I bit my lips until they bled .

“There is a way . We need to show the constellations their favourite scenario . ”

“What do you mean?”

“Defeat the disaster . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk’s expression hardened . “It is suicide Kim Dokja . Are you going to be a pushover?”

I saw Shin Yoosung turning into a demon and destroying everything around her . I didn’t want it to be like this . This wasn’t the ending I wanted . This damn world, even resisting a scenario became another scenario .

[Many constellations are excited by your words . ]

[Many of the constellations want an exhilarating melee . ]

Yes, they wanted to see this .

“Support me Yoo Jonghyuk . I will stop the disaster . ”

I had to give it a try .

“Kim Dokja, you…”

“I can do it . ”

I blinked slowly and the option I had postponed emerged in front of me .

[You have experienced the first person supporting role viewpoint . ]

[You can take one of the supporting role’s skills . ]

[Presenting the list of available skills . ]

[Please select a skill to acquire . ]

I opened the list and picked an option without hesitation .

“No . 3, Beast King’s Sensitivity . ”

[The exclusive skill ‘Beast King’s Sensitivity’ has been acquired!]

As if waiting, an ether storm emerged from disaster Shin Yoosung’s hands . It was the ether storm that made a hole in my belly and made Yoo Jonghyuk incapable of fighting .

I protected my party members and received the storm head on .

[The exclusive skill ‘Beast King’s Sensitivity Lv . 3’ has been activated . ]

A pure white fur cloak . It was a unique skill of Beast Lord Shin Yoosung . More than half of my magic power was consumed activating it and I became dizzy, but I succeeded in receiving the attack of Shin Yoosung . The dignity of Beast King’s Sensitivity didn’t lose to the mighty storm .

Yoo Jonghyuk frowned . “You stole her skill but it is still impossible . ”

“I know . ”

I looked at disaster Shin Yoosung . Despite her nature being set to evil and losing control of her body, her eyes were filled with emotions . She told him .

「 …It’s okay . Kill me . 」

Who could swing a sword after seeing those eyes? The woman who wandered for over a thousand years and suffered . I had to kill her now .

This was the price I paid for failing to change the story… For the first time, I felt resentful that Ways of Survival had become reality .

“Open your eyes and watch carefully . ” I looked up at the sky and declared . “This is the scenario you wanted . ”

[The exclusive skill ‘Bookmark’ can now be activated . ]

Now that Shin Yoosung was in her final phase, it was an unwinnable fight . In the end, it was a fight that no one could win .

[‘Character Bookmarks’ is activated . ]

[Available Bookmark Slots: 4]

[Bringing up the list of available bookmarks . ]

“I will release Delusion Demon Kim Namwoon from the 1st slot and add Judge of Destruction Jung Heewon . ”
