Chapter 163

Translator: Rainbow Turtle

I thought I heard wrong and dug at my ears . However, the message didn’t change .

[A huge fate is hoping for your death . ]

What the? I pressed hard against the brakes as my mind became troubled . Han Sooyoung screamed from the sudden stop . “What is it? I was in the middle of feeling good!”

“Please be quiet . ”

I once again listened . This time a voice appeared as well as the message .

[A huge fate is hoping for your death . ]

This was the third time . I gulped . Dammit . Was there an incident where a ‘fate message’ appeared three times in the original novel?

I thought about it . It was… the 71st regression Yoo Jonghyuk . At that time, Yoo Jonghyuk had been named due to Yama, king of hell .

Shit, what was going to happen?

Han Sooyoung scowled and asked again, “Why? What’s going on?”

“Someone has read my fate . ”

“…Fate?”

Fate . It was as scary as the ‘probability’ in Ways of Survival .

Strictly speaking, this was a force using ‘probability’ in the broader sense . However, there was a reason it was called something different . It was because ‘fate’ was the power of the constellations, who exercised their accumulated probability .

“Uh, wait a minute . It seems to be a story that I vaguely know…”

“Perhaps there was a quick mention in the beginning of the novel . ”

“Fate… is it similar to Future Sight?”

“It is similar but different . ”

In fact, it was very different . Reading fate wasn’t as simple as reading ‘information of the future . ’ Rather, it was even more dangerous .

“If Future Sight is a glimpse of a predictable future, fate was a power that forced a predictable future . ”

I didn’t know if Han Sooyoung understood so I added an explanation .

“For example, let’s say I step on the accelerator for five seconds . Then when I look using Future Sight, won’t I be driving?”

“…Well, I guess . ”

“However, if I know information about the future, I might not step on the accelerator . ”

“That is possible . ”

“Fate is different . If someone reads the fate that ‘Kim Dokja will step on the accelerator for five seconds’, this fate is forced unless it is withdrawn or realized . To put it simply…”

“You must step on the accelerator . ”

I nodded and Han Sooyoung spoke like it was strange . “By the way, isn’t it a bit weird?”

“What?”

“It doesn’t fit the probability . According to you, ‘fate’ is a force that interferes with the scenario but who can force it?”

“Who…”

In principle, the dokkaebis couldn’t interfere with the scenario . Thus, there was only one being who could interfere . Han Sooyoung immediately knew the answer . “Even if it is a constellation, alone…”

“It is a problem because they aren’t alone . ”

“What?”

“Only the big nebulae can read fate . ”

Then a big explosion occurred in front of us . Something was approaching at a formidable pace . It was on a different dimension from the monsters we had met before .

Han Sooyoung’s face paled . “…Kim Dokja, what exactly is the fate message that you received?”

“I will die . ”

“Dammit, you should’ve told me that first! Why does something always…”

Han Sooyoung spat out and was about to leave the car . A presence appeared in front of them . I reflexively drew Unbroken Faith but the man opened his mouth first .

“Kim Dokja . I have something to tell you . ”

It was my first time seeing him but I was accustomed to the energy from his body . I instinctively felt that he wasn’t an enemy .

“You are…”

The moment I smelt the scent of fragrant well and felt the overexcited air, I discovered who this person was .

“…Did you come to say I will die?” I asked .

The incarnation of Dionysus, who smelt of alcohol, smiled at me with white eyes .

“Ah, you already know?”

I had a good impression of Dionysus . He fought for me on the way to the banquet location . Still, that was a different story from the current situation . I opened my mouth and spoke in a wary voice .

“Are you the ones who read my fate?”

“Yes . Olympus read your fate . But if you’re asking if I’m one of them, I’m not . ”

“What do you mean?”

Dionysius’ incarnation just smiled . A thought crossed my mind the moment I saw the smile .

“Surely Olympus isn’t splitting apart?”

“You are truly smart . ”

…Already? This development was faster than the original . The breaking apart of Olympus was scheduled but it should’ve happened after at least 10 scenarios .

“It isn’t just Olympus . Many constellations are aiming at you . They are very strong and mighty existences . ”

I had expected it . Otherwise my ‘fate’ wouldn’t be so overbearing .

“Why are they aiming for me?”

“Those strong people are afraid of your influence . ”

“I’m just a fledgling constellation . ”

“That’s how it should be . However, the scenario started on Earth is very special . Some constellations believe this is the scenario we have long been waiting for . Ahh, don’t make that expression . I’m not saying this so you can understand . ”

I wanted to say that my face always looked like this but Dionysus continued . “In any case, just know that this scenario is very important to us . Then you showed up in the scenario . ”

“I don’t know what it is but I’m disturbing things . ”

“Yes . You are bound to be an obstacle . You will be less influenced by probability than other constellations . You have overwhelming growth and strength compared to other incarnations . That’s why some nebulae believe you should either be absorbed or removed . ”

I briefly looked at Dionysus . “Why are you telling me this information?”

This was the thing i was most curious about . Why was Dionysus showing kindness towards me?

“It is because I like your story . ” Dionysus laughed heartily and added . “Some constellations and I believe that you can reach ■■ . ”

***

Jung Heewon and the group spent the day investigating the dungeon of Paradise . There was no way to invade with a large number of people at once so the party decided to scatter and find a method . The method Jung Heewon chose was straightforward .

‘I will mix in . ’

In the afternoon, new criminals appeared . Uriel gave her the Recluse’s Cloak and she chased after the guards while the dungeon was open . The guards and arrested criminals went through the underground door without feeling her presence .

The prison was much deeper than she thought and the darkness was beyond her imagination .

‘Where are we going down to?’

It was a depth she couldn’t understand . Why did it need to be so deep, even if it was a prison? It would be inconvenient to move…

She was feeling doubts when the guards’ footsteps came to a halt . Strangely, all of them looked tense .

“All of you, move over there! We will withdraw immediately!”

The guards were afraid, as if this was a place they shouldn’t enter . It was the same for the scary guard captain . Then a thick iron door opened and once it was opened, an entrance filled with metal bars could be seen . There were several layers of steel bars . It was a prison with excessive defenses designed to lock humans in .

“Everybody go in!”

The guards drove the prisoners inside and quickly rushed away .

“Aaack!”

“Help me!”

Jung Heewon mixed in with the prisoners and recoiled at the sight . Why were these people thrown here? What was going on here?

“U-Uhh… where is this place?”

The prisoners looked around . There was a faint light but it was extremely dark . Jung Heewon would’ve also been lost in the darkness if it wasn’t for her Night Vision skill .

‘This is a prison?’

She looked around and didn’t feel it was a prison at all . The surrounding landscape was closer to a natural cave and there was no method to distinguish between prisoners . No, there were no other prisoners trapped in the first place .

‘How does food distribution happen? What the hell is this?’

It was a ‘dungeon’ system that couldn’t be understood at all . The prisoners she came in with were also disconcerted .

“What are we supposed to do here?”

“Excuse me! Is anybody there?”

The scared prisoners shouted but there was no reply . Instead, faint sounds were heard in the darkness .

Jung Heewon slowly pulled out the Sword of Judgment . The moment she stepped in here, the crying of her sword became more violent .

‘This…’

An eerie sensation reached her back and Jung Heewon shouted, “Everyone, run away!”

However, it was already too late . Monsters rushed from the darkness and pounced on the people .

“Uwaaaack!”

“Save me! Kuaack!”

Leopard-like creatures were randomly biting people’s arms and legs . People’s limbs were torn apart like they were toys and blood splattered .

She originally only planned to rescue the woman from Geumho Station but things changed . The almost level 10 Demon Slaying skill was activated and a red aura wrapped around her body .

Her Kendo drew a perfect line in the air . The leopard’s body was split apart in a neat line . The agitated leopards kept following her but she cleaned up the monsters .

Jung Heewon’s power reached its peak in a place where demons were swarming .

“I-I don’t know who you are but thank you…” The people in the darkness found her presence and thanked her . However, Jung Heewon couldn’t afford to accept the thanks . She had seen the faces of the leopards .

‘What the hell is this?’

The leopards had the faces of humans . Jung Heewon reflexively ran through the darkness .

All her senses had become cold with fear .

She ran and soon arrived at a cavern that was huge beyond her capacity to measure . To be precise, it wasn’t a cavern . There were countless monsters in it . This was like the boundary of the Demon World .

There were 5th grade, 4th grade and even 3rd grade species . There were also monsters she didn’t know the rating of .

“This is Paradise…”

She couldn’t find the woman from Geumho Station . Of course, Jung Heewon wouldn’t be able to find the woman . She had already been eaten or…

Kuaaah!

She would become one of these monsters . The monsters felt her lifeforce and were excited . Most of them were mixed breeds between demons and other monster species . Some looked like insect kings while others were the outside species… although this was just from the external appearance .

Prisoners were approaching behind her .

“Don’t come!”

Before her cry reached them, the ground started to shake and the monster’s feast began . The monsters ran out of the cavern like ants . Jung Heewon bit her lips and used her hell flames again .

‘I shouldn’t have come in alone . ’

No, what could the others do if they came with her? Could Lee Hyunsung and the children fight against these distant enemies? Rather, it was good that she came alone .

“Kuaaack!”

The prisoners were eaten as prey while Jung Heewon wielded the Sword of Judgment and used Hell Flames Ignition . The burning heat of the archangel’s flames caused the frightened demons to step back and be more cautious .

She didn’t know how long this confrontation could continue . Some monsters watched the movement of the flames and dared to jump forward .

“Oh, you are an archangel’s incarnation . ”

At this voice, the monsters who weren’t afraid of the flames withdrew with weak groans .

She turned around and see Reinheit . He asked, “Are you ready to be the chief of the guards?”

“…Can you say that after seeing me?”

Jung Heewon told him, “You are a liar . Paradise? Get away from the horror of the scenario? Can you say that to me after making this place?”

She pointed the Sword of Judgment at Reinheit . Kim Dokja was right . There was no such thing as paradise in this world . They… were bound to continue the scenario .

Reinhart said, “If you want to kill me, you can . ”

“I don’t need your permission . ”

She would naturally do so . She would borrow the power of her sponsor and end this terrible nightmare .

[Judgment Time is activated!]
