Chapter 294

Two days had passed since I started staying at Han Sooyoung’s headquarters .

In the meantime, I had to concentrate on a few things . One was to reveal exactly what Han Sooyoung meant by ‘the death of Yoo Jonghyuk . ‘ The second was to find out what Han Sooyoung ultimately wanted to achieve through it .

Either way, finding out wasn’t easy . This wasn’t the only problem .

[It is really destroyed? Our Eden?]

I looked at Gabriel who was exuding a ferocious spirit .

“That’s right . Didn’t you hear anything about it from the third round Metatron?”

[ . . . The scribe knows about the destruction of Eden?]

I nodded . “If you go back, ask him yourself . Of course, that’s if you can go back safely . “

The stems of Gabriel and Jophiel started to shake . I thought they were angry with me but they seemed to be talking to each other . I pulled out the Uriel doll . She was caught by the Confinement of Good and Evil and couldn’t use her strength for the next five days .

「 The Fourth Wall is looking at you . 」

Maybe I could borrow the power of the Fourth Wall to give her memories of the third round . However, the idea that Uriel would be moved by my memories was just a fantasy . Maybe after seeing the memories, Uriel would say:「 ■■, so what? 」

The memories of the third round would sound like a novel to Uriel who had lived through the third round .

“Kim Dokja-ssi, are you going to hunt with us?”

I looked up and saw Lee Hyunsung standing there with steel gauntlets on . “Is it okay if I go with you?”

“Yes, well . . . there is no meaning in identifying a picked up bullet . “

I smiled at Lee Hyunsung’s words . Whether it was the third round or the 1863rd round, the strange analogies were still there . I calculated how many times Lee Hyunsung must’ve be confined in the guardhouse so far .

[Your understanding of the character ‘Lee Hyunsung’ has increased . ]

[The character ‘Lee Hyunsung’ shows a weak liking towards you . ]

I recalled the first scenario and suddenly felt a bit distracted . I added a sentence to alleviate Lee Hyunsung’s wariness . “Shouldn’t you be more vigilant? I am Yoo Jonghyuk’s companion . “

“Um . . . Captain didn’t say anything and . . . as a matter of fact, I feel that Dokja-ssi isn’t a bad person . I guess this is the intuition I gained after 94 scenarios . “

Throughout the novel, Lee Hyunsung’s intuition was mostly off the mark . Whenever Lee Hyunsung said this, I used to think that Yoo Jonghyuk would be stabbed in the back .

“Hey, you came? Let’s take a look at your skills . “

Those who went out to hunt together were Kim Namwoon and Lee Jihye . Lee Jihye was covered with a big grey hood and looked at me in a displeased manner .

“Come quickly . We’re going to start . “

I followed the party members out of the headquarters . The purpose of this hunt was to clean up the unnamed things around the headquarters and collect the items . Of course, I knew the real reason why Han Sooyoung ordered this hunt .

-There are two ahead of you . One is a tentacled species and the other is a composite species .

Han Donghoon’s message was heard and Lee Jihye pulled out her sword . She triggered Instant Kill to defeat all the tentacles and then Kim Namwoon burned the main body with his black flames .

I felt it when I read the original but the two of them were really well matched . There was a terrible scream as the monster turned to ashes and Kim Namwoon approached Lee Jihye .

“Nice attack . “

Kim Namwoon raised his right hand towards Lee Jihye with a cool face . Lee Jihye aimed her sword at Kim Namwoon with cold eyes . The sword pierced past Kim Namwoon’s cheek and penetrated the tentacle that was wriggling around as the unnamed thing struggled with the flames .

Lee Jihye moved towards the next prey . Kim Namwoon chased after her . “Hey, let’s go together!”

Once Gilyoung and Yoosung grew up, would they be a duo like this? I might see such a scene if I went back .

“Dokja-ssi?”

“Ah, yes . I’ll take the other side . “

I hurriedly pulled out Unbroken Faith and activated Way of the Wind . Some flying tentacles penetrated during an unguarded moment . It was a bit tricky to deal with the unnamed things when I deliberately wasn’t using Electrification .

“Kukuk, you’re weak?”

Kim Namwoon, who had the black flames in both hands, started to beat up the unnamed things with a careless smile .

“Watch and learn!”

Certainly, it was a great combat force . The present Kim Namwoon was able to draw out half the power of the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon .

I quietly cheered on Kim Namwoon . “You’re great . It is coming again . “

“Hahahat, give it to me!”

“Wow, no matter how good you are, isn’t it hard?”

“What are you talking about? Hahahahat! Die!”

“Hey, there’s that one over there . . . “

Kim Namwoon belatedly noticed something and his eyebrows twitched . Lee Hyunsung standing nearby was smiling . In the distance, Lee Jihye caught a monster and clicked her tongue like he was pitiful . The moment Kim Namwoon’s expression distorted and he raised his fist towards me, I told him, “Lee Jihye doesn’t like pretentiousness . “

Kim Namwoon’s face turned as white as his hair . His eyes shook like an earthquake had occurred .

In fact, the one who had the biggest reaction was Lee Hyunsung, whose eyes widened .

. . . This guy passed through every round without noticing . Kim Namwoon glanced between Lee Jihye and I before stammering .

“H-How do you know that?”

“It would be strange if I didn’t know . Dye your hair first and get rid of the bandages . Replace them with half gloves on both sides . After the hunt, don’t say things like nice attack . “

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ hates you . ]

“It will be more helpful if you act like the guy behind me . “

Kim Namwoon blinked as he looked at the person behind me . Yoo Jonghyuk was standing there blankly . His coat was crooked and he hadn’t washed himself but he couldn’t hide his good looks .

“That person is ‘evil . Still, he looks cool . “

Delusional Demon Kim Namwoon muttered . I answered with a smile . “He isn’t too bad . He has good parts . “

“Hah, you must be talking about someone else . That reminds me, how did you end up as Yoo Jonghyuk’s companion?”

Kim Namwoon watched me suspiciously and Lee Hyunsung spoke up . “I heard that Dokja-ssi is from another world . “

Maybe Han Sooyoung had talked about me . Kim Namwoon looked surprised and pointed at me . “Different worlds? Like . . . parallel universes?”

“It is similar . “

I admired the fact that Kim Namwoon knew about parallel universes when he had no biology knowledge . Obviously, this round was different from the round I remembered .

“That’s why I haven’t seen you so far . So? Why did you come here?”

“You’re excited . Unfortunately, I can’t tell you . “

“Sheesh, then what am I doing in your world? Am I a leader?”

“You’re dead . “

Kim Namwoon’s face paled again .

“I’m joking . You’re building a gundam there . You are very happy . “

“Gundam? Ohh . . . “

Lee Jihye came back and hit the back of Kim Namwoon’s head . “Why are you messing around? Pick up the items . “

“Uh, uh . “

I watched Kim Namwoon hurriedly picking up items after Lee Jihye and thought . Maybe I shouldn’t have killed him in the first scenario . Kim Namwoon, who was following Lee Jihye and picking up items, turned to me and whispered, “Excuse me . I have something to ask . “

“What?”

“Can you lend me that coat for a minute?”

. . . What was I saying?

“I see you . “

Kim Namwoon grumbled and started picking up the items again . Lee Jihye nagged him and Lee Hyunsung chuckled .

It was a peaceful sight . In the midst of this peace, I was strongly reminded of my world . There was no Jung Heewon here . No Yoo Sangah or Lee Gilyoung .

. . . Yes, Han Myungoh as well . Thus, I had to go back .

Not long after, we collected all the items around us . I looked at the items I collected and smiled . There it was . One of the five swords that were the key to clear the 95th scenario . Perhaps Han Sooyoung knew that one of the swords was in the vicinity .

However, I was surprised the moment I held the sword . “Excuse me, Hyunsung-ssi . “

“Huh?”

“Did Han Sooyoung tell you to collect this sword?”

Lee Hyunsung glanced at the sword in my hand and replied, “Oh, that’s right . We are looking for that sword . “

The 95th scenario was a scenario where ‘five swords’ were the key . A scenario where the sealed Apocalypse Dragon was released through the key five swords . But this sword . . .

A sense of discomfort passed through my head . I looked up at the sky and saw the Apocalypse Dragon’s Sealing Ball heading this way . Sleeping inside the dark sphere was the worst ruin dragon in Ways of Survival .

Originally, Yoo Jonghyuk was supposed to liberate the dragon and gain the giant story ‘Liberator of the Apocalypse Dragon’, entering the final scenario .

「 At this moment, Kim Dokja realized how to kill Yoo Jonghyuk . 」

The hand holding the hilt trembled .

「 In addition, Han Sooyoung was thinking exactly the same thing as him . 」

***

Throughout the day, Kim Dokja read Ways of Survival again and again . He read the pages he had already read and checked if there were any lines he missed . Kim Dokja seemed to find something . Or perhaps he didn’t find it . He looked down at his smartphone, grabbed his head several times and even sighed . ” . . . Noisy . Stop talking . “

Sometimes, he scolded the Fourth Wall . In any case, Kim Dokja tried hard . It was an effort to change something, an effort that perhaps no one would understand .

Soon a small resolution filled Kim Dokja’s eyes . It wasn’t a resolution that could accumulate in one or two days . It was a resolution that only a person who had read a story for a long time could have .

With that resolution, Kim Dokja continuously read Ways of Survival . He read, read and read it again .

How many times did he read? Kim Dokja’s eyes, shining like stars, dimmed little by little . Kim Dokja fell into a shallow sleep .

Yoo Jonghyuk stared at the scene with empty eyes . The back of the weary Kim Dokja . A snoring sound came out at regular intervals .

There were very small sparks as Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes recovered . Killing intent filled the blank eyes and this killing intent was aimed at precisely one person . Yoo Jonghyuk quietly moved the Heaven Shaking Sword . He didn’t make a sound as he approached and aimed a sword at Kim Dokja’s neck .

「Ha ha do not do su ch a th ing . 」

Yoo Jonghyuk frowned . The Fourth Wall caused sparks to fly, as if going to wake up Kim Dokja straight away . Yoo Jonghyuk sent a message to the illusionary wall using Sound Transmission .

-Don’t wake him up . I will cut off his head straight away if you do .

「Hu um . 」

The sparks produced by the Fourth Wall rapidly reduced . Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t remove the sword and the Fourth Wall drew characters in the air .

「 Wh at do you wa nt? 」

Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t say anything . It seemed like he was finding his words or he didn’ know what to say . At this time, the Fourth Wall let out bizarre laughter .

「 A ha, I under stand . 」

” . . . “

「 Are you cu rious? 」

Yoo Jonghyuk still didn’t answer and the Fourth Wall laughed like it knew everything . The letters of the Fourth Wall started to increase . Gold letters soon filled the room . Yoo Jonghyuk stared at the letters drifting around him and reached out for one of them . The letters seemed to respond to his hand and started to speak .

「 “My name is Dokja . ” 」

「 I usually introduced myself to people like this and then the following misunderstanding would

occur . 」

It was the story of a world he had never experienced . The Fourth Wall giggled .

「 Very in te res ting . 」

Yoo Jonghyuk quietly listened to the story . This last until the night was deep and then the faint light of dawn was seen .

.

.

.

By the time the sleeping Kim Dokja woke up, Yoo Jonghyuk was leaning against the wall with blank eyes .

” . . . I fell asleep, damn . “

Kim Dokja stood up with dishevelled hair and picked up his smartphone and sword . He looked out the window and saw the troops of the headquarters that had already gathered . They were gathered to clear the 95th scenario . At the centre of the party, Han Sooyoung in the white coat was looking this way .

Today was the day that ‘Incarnation Yoo Jonghyuk’ would die .
