Chapter 461: 461

“If you really require a power source, then why don’t we exchange Fables? We can supply you with Fables that can serve as useful replacements . “

[I told you to go back . ]

As I thought, something was off here . If it was simply about using Yi Hyeon-Seong as a power source, then there shouldn’t be a reason to say no to my offer .

“I’m sorry, but we must take his soul back with us . The Final Scenario will soon begin . Meaning, this is no time for us to worry about your well-being . “

[Fable, ‘Demon King of Salvation’, has begun its storytelling!]

I unleashed my Status, causing the ‘Master of Steel’ to speak in a bit of a fluster . [You dare to oppose me inside ??]

Accompanied by a ‘Tsu-chuchuchut!’ noise, sparks exploded inside the audience chamber . The ‘Master of Steel’ was a Fable-grade Constellation, but when in , his Status would . . . .

[I’ve been generous by receiving you lot, yet you . . . . . !]

… . Be almost on the same level as a Myth-grade Constellation .

Ku-dudududu!!

The whole planet seemingly writhed about violently like a heart repeating the actions of contracting and relaxing .

Han Su-Yeong stared at me with a pale complexion .

– Are you insane, Kim Dok-Ja?! Why are you trying to fight insi . . . . .

I began unleashing the Fables next .

[Great Fable, ‘Demon World’s Spring’, has begun its storytelling!]

[Great Fable, ‘Torch that Swallowed the Myth’, has begun its storytelling!]

The main Great Fables started their storytelling and the audience chamber quaked as if it’d collapse at any given moment .

I stepped across the violently-rocking floor and walked forward . The ‘Master of Steel’ shouted out . [Step back! If you don’t, I shall . . . . !]

Yup, thought as much .

There were plenty of opportunities to subdue me, yet this ‘Master of Steel’ only issued warnings repeatedly without actually doing anything .

It was like dealing with the Cowardly Lion .

I walked straight through the mask and advanced forward to reach the rear-most wall of the audience chamber . The ‘Master of Steel’ was shouting something at me, but I ignored it all and simply punched the wall, hard .

In the next moment, the silver mask floating around like a hologram disappeared .

“Listen here, monkey . “

And I could see a monkey through the wide-open hole in the wall, shivering away in pure fear .

“Where is the real ‘Master of Steel’?”

*

A short while later, we managed to get some useful info from the monkey .

Han Su-Yeong spoke first . “Okay, so . The ‘Master of Steel’ isn’t here . “

[I-if you do this, the ‘Master of Steel’ will . . . . . ]

“Switch off the true voice, now . It doesn’t even sound like a proper true voice, anyway . “

” . . . . probably forgive you,” said the now-dejected monkey .

It was likely that this monkey was a henchman of the real ‘Master of Steel’ . I wasn’t sure why, but this little guy was acting like a Constellation in this place for some reason .

“Hang on, was it you who sent all those indirect messages until now, then?”

“Y-yes, that’s right . However, I was accurately conveying the Master of Steel-nim’s intentions . “

“You were ‘conveying’ his intentions?”

My question prompted the monkey’s gaze to shift towards a corner of the audience chamber . That was where we could see an altar with a Steelsword stabbed into its surface to resemble a cross .

I took an especially closer look at the exterior of the sword .

“Now normally, I can hear the Master’s intentions through that altar . But lately, messages from him have stopped arriving, and . . . . “

I reached out to the Steelsword . I felt a certain flinching jolt when I touched it . I had experienced a sensation like this one before .

Although very faint, it was the same sensation I felt back when I came in contact with a different world-line .

Which meant that the ‘Master of Steel’ was an existence from another world-line .

… . But, that was not possible . As far as I knew, the ‘Master of Steel’ was Tin Woodman from the ⸢Wizard of Oz⸥ . . . . Could it be that someone else had appropriated that Constellation Modifier?

While I was stewing inside my thoughts, Han Su-Yeong asked the monkey . “Does the wretched state of your planet have something to do with that?”

” . . . . Well, some part of it, yes . But neglecting maintenance also contributed to the issue, as well . Every Fable is bound to stagnate, after all . It has been a really long time since magic has disappeared from , you see . Do you actually know how old the Fable of this place is?”

“Don’t know . “

“Tourists don’t come to anymore . It’s already been over three years since the last time the monthly average visitor numbers reached double digits . “

The monkey’s eyes were dyed in the light of vague reminiscence . As if he was recalling the glory days of yore or something .

“Once upon a time, was the number one theme park in the . . . . . “

Jeong Hui-Won frowned deeply . “I don’t want to hear about stuff like that . So, are you going to return Hyeon-Seong-ssi’s soul or not??”

“W-well, that is a bit . . . . “

“Why not?!”

“The whole reason why we managed to maintain double-digit attendance numbers is due to ‘Yi Hyeon-Seong’, that’s why . “

“What are you talking about?”

The monkey hesitated greatly before answering her . “Have you heard the news that lately, the powers of all Great Fables are in decline?”

“Powers of the Great Fables are declining . . . . ?”

“It’s not just . Many Fables that constitute Great Fables have all entered the path of stagnation similar to ‘s situation . “

“But, why?”

“A certain Fable that has appeared in recent times has begun eating into the percentages of other Fables, you see . “

The monkey raised its head and with eyes full of resentment, began glaring at me .

“I’m talking about you people’s Fable . “

*

In conclusion, we did get something out from the visit to the Emerald Castle . The monkey told us this:

– You can take Yi Hyeon-Seong away . In return, please help us with advertising .

We asked how we could do that, and he replied like this .

– You’ll find out when you get to where Yi Hyeon-Seong currently is .

And that was the reason why us, this trio, were standing in this particular place . At some distance away, we could see a Ferris wheel that no longer functioned as well as an ancient, decrepit carousel . It was the stereotypical sight of a run-down, bankrupt theme park .

It seemed that was the name of this theme park . In a way, it sounded rather cool .

My problem was with what was written below it .

>

– Yi Hyeon-Seong ‘Memory Experience Centre’ now open!

– Find Yi Hyeon-Seong’s soul hidden somewhere in the Experience Centre to win a cool, pre-selected prize .

… . What the hell was the meaning of this?

We headed to the ticket booth to find a list of prices waiting for us .

* Entrance ticket 4000 Coins

* Free Pass (50% discount) 3000 Coins

This was basically telling us to buy the free pass .

The ticket booth employee asked us .

– How many?

“Three . “

– 3000 Coins per Incarnation . 60000 for a Constellation .

… . Did I hear him wrong just now?

I became dazed after being on the receiving end of such cruel discrimination for the first time in my life . But then, Jeong Hui-Won suddenly extended her hand in my direction . “This counts as company expenses, right? We’re on the clock, after all . “

” . . . . . Of course . “

“Give me one for Incarnation . “

She unhesitantly swiped with the company expenses card and entered the ‘Memory Experience Centre’ right away . I remained dazed, while Han Su-Yeong stepped past me .

“Excuse me, one more Incar . . . . “

“Hang on . “

“What is it now?”

“There is a special discount category . “

I pointed at the small notice attached next to the price list .

* Constellation X Incarnation Couple Discount Coupon, now available!

* This is a special couple’s discount coupon designed for those Sponsors visiting along with their Incarnations! Make beautiful new memories with your Incarnation and enjoy sweet, relaxing time together!

Han Su-Yeong finished reading the notice and turned to look at me . I nodded my head . Which prompted her to ask a question .

“Have you finally lost it?”

“Even if we have enough Coins, I don’t have enough to spend in this place . “

She glared at me with seething eyes, and as if calculating something in her head, she counted with her fingers for a bit, and finally alternated her gaze between the price list and me .

Eventually, she sighed grandly and asked . “Fine . What will you give me in return?”

*

” . . . . What are you two doing??”

Jeong Hui-Won discovered Han Su-Yeong and I, and said that in dismay . But, that was understandable . Because… both of us were sporting an identical pair of wolf-ear headbands right now .

[Applicable item can’t be taken off while inside the ‘Memory Experience Centre’ . ]

[Please show off the close bond you share with your Incarnation to other Constellations!]

Han Su-Yeong replied to her in a shameless voice . “I’m working part-time in the dating industry . “

“Let’s search for Hyeon-Seong-ssi first, shall we?”

According to the monkey, Yi Hyeon-Seong’s soul should be wandering around somewhere in this ‘Memory Experience Centre’ . Not sure why he was roaming around in this place, but . . .

We had a little bit of time on our hands, so we walked around the ‘Memory Experience Centre’ with calm minds . I was wondering what exactly this place was, and we soon got to find out .

[Yi Hyeon-Seong, born as a healthy and big baby weighing in at 5 . 4 kg!]

[Yi Hyeon-Seong, five years old – rescues a friend from bullies!]

This was where we would get to ‘experience’ his life .

[Only those holding the ‘Free Pass’ can enter . ]

[The chamber’s experience will begin once you enter . Will you enter?]

“Does this mean we will get to experience the feelings of a newborn? Who the heck would want to pay money to experience something like that??”

This theme park seemed to be similar in nature to a generalised amusement park . We could enter individual ‘Experience Centres’ to experience Yi Hyeon-Seong’s life through either his eyes or someone near him .

Jeong Hui-Won spoke up . “I guess we really have become famous lately . Someone even came up with a thing like this, too . “

” . . . . I’m kinda curious about that one over there . “

We became totally entranced and studied the various parts of Yi Hyeon-Seong’s life . It felt as if I had really become a Constellation . . . . Hang on, I really was a Constellation, wasn’t I?

[Yi Hyeon-Seong, 17 years old – fails in his quest for his first love!]

Jeong Hui-Won stared at this particular ‘centre’ without saying anything .

So, I naturally had to ask . ” . . . . Are you planning to go in?”

“No . “

We continued to search for Yi Hyeon-Seong . His soul gave off a unique Fable reaction . And we could definitely sense that particular reaction nearby, but . . . .

[Yi Hyeon-Seong, encountering the Judge that destroys evil!]

After walking about for a while, we discovered several ‘Experience Centres’ related to the .

[Pure Steel Yi Hyeon-Seong! With Judge that destroys evil, he . . . . . ]

Jeong Hui-Won’s steps gradually gained pace . We diligently followed after her . However, we still couldn’t sense Yi Hyeon-Seong’s presence . We looked through a row of the Experience Centres and turned around to leave, but found someone unexpected behind us . It wasn’t the guy we were looking for, though .

“Uh? Ahjussi?”

It was Yi Ji-Hye wearing a fox-ear headband .

” . . . . And why are you here?”

Yi Ji-Hye provided a short explanation after I asked her .

The first part of the tale was about Yu Jung-Hyeok, Yu Sang-Ah, the kids, and her heading to the blacksmith only to be told that the supply of Fable metal had run out .

The second part was about how they walked around disappointed only to coincidentally discover this place .

And finally, the last part regarding how they just couldn’t win against the kids pestering them so they bought a family discount to enter . . . . Eh? Family discount?

“What are you fools doing here?”

I looked back and sure enough, Yu Jung-Hyeok and his fox ears were standing there . He alternated his gaze between me and Han Su-Yeong before throwing out a question . “Have you regained Yi Hyeon-Seong’s soul yet?”

“We came here to find it . Besides, what are you doing here instead of searching for the Fable metal?”

“The blacksmith was temporarily closed . Apparently, their supply of Fable metal had run out . “

I could guess why something like that had happened . Perhaps it was related to the weakening of ‘s Great Fable .

I saw Yu Sang-Ah waving her hand from afar . I also spotted Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong wearing headbands that reminded me of a dragonfly’s wings .

“Eonni! Let’s go inside that one next! That one!”

“Oh my, that one’s for over 18s, you know . “

Somehow, the whole gang had assembled once more .

I figured this was for the best . Since it had come to this, searching for Yi Hyeon-Seong together could save us from further trouble .

It was then that Jeong Hui-Won’s voice came from a bit of distance away . “Everyone, please come over here!”

We hurriedly went over to her side . And that’s where we discovered a certain Experience Centre with an especially high number of warning signs posted outside compared to the others we’ve seen so far .

* This Experience Centre can only be entered by persons older than 18 years of age .

* After experiencing the possession, you might suffer from mental anguish due to the severe, harsh treatment .

* Caution should be exercised if South Korean male Incarnations wish to use this centre .

I looked up at the title card for the ‘Memory Experience Centre’ and spoke to the others . ” . . . . Looks like we found him . “

There was no doubt about it . The dull-and-slow-moving Fable unique to Yi Hyeon-Seong could definitely be felt from this particular Experience Centre .

He was inside this thing .

I reconfirmed the name of this Experience Centre one more time .

[I lost a shell by mistake . ]
