–Please select your sponsor –Your chosen sponsor will be your strong supporter. Perhaps by now, all the unsigned incarnations would be seeing the same thing I was. Of course, mine was probably a bit different. 1. Prisoner of the Golden Headband. 2. Abyssal Black Flame Dragon 3. Secretive Plotter As expected, there was the Prisoner of the Golden Headband and the Secretive Plotter. I felt sorry to keep rejecting them but it couldn't be helped. …This Abyssal Black Flame Dragon was here again. He had Han Sooyoung so why did he keep coming to me? 4. Seo Ae Il Pil 5. Bald General of Justice 6. King Heungmu the Great. The great people of the Korean Peninsula also lined up. Seo Ae Il Pil was probably Ryu Seongryong… Ah, our Samyeongdang also came. In addition, there was the fox Kim Yushin. Did he think I would really choose him? The list continued. 21. Goryeo's First Sword 22. God of Wine and Ecstasy
Anyone who was called Korea's best swordsman could be Goryeo's First Sword. Then there was Dionysus… Olympus had also stepped into the race for Kim Dokja. I felt a bit confused as the list continued. It was because unexpected constellations kept appearing. 48. Black Light of Guidance 49. Scribe of Heaven 50. Ruler of Revenge and the Apocalypse I didn't remember all the modifiers so I only had dim memories of Black Light of Guidance and Ruler of Revenge and the Apocalypse. However, I was certain about Scribe of Heaven. That guy, he was a powerful constellation of the absolute good system. The archangel Metatron. Based on angelic authority, this guy was ranked much higher than Uriel. This was the second heavenly being. Dammit, what type of constellations were watching me? … The hundreds of stars above my head formed a magnificent spectacle. It was a brilliance that seemed like it would light up all darkness near it. Some incarnations stared this way with soulless expressions. "That…" "What is that person?" Shin Yoosung stared above my head in a blank manner and muttered, "Ahjussi, you are like a Christmas tree."
[Constellations who love the Korean Peninsula want you to keep your promise.] [A number of constellations want to see your faith.] In the end, it came. I take a deep breath and called to Bihyung. 'Bihyung'. [What?] 'How many are there now?' I had made a promise to the constellations when fighting off Dokgak. If the number of subscribers to the channel reached 10,000 before the Sponsor Selection ended, I would choose a sponsor. [9,812. No, 14… 16.] The number of constellations continued to rise. Bihyung's tone became tense. [There are three minutes left to complete the Sponsor Selection.] Now the result would be determined in three minutes. [The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' is looking nervously at you.] Unfortunately, there was no point looking at me desperately. [There are two minutes left to complete the Sponsor Selection.]
[The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' has sponsored you 200 coins.] [The constellation 'Seo Ae Il Pil' has sponsored you 300 coins.] [The constellation King Heungmu the Great' has sponsored you 300 coins.] The sponsorship competition was finally starting. It was a natural choice for the constellations if they wanted to stand out. [Some great constellations above narrative-grade constellations are clicking their tongues.] [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' has sponsored you 5,000 coins.] This was the exact development I hoped for. Good, good. Give me more money. [The constellation 'Scribe of Heaven' has sponsored you 30,000 coins.] …As expected of Metatron. It was an entirely different class. It should be obvious since he was a chancellor of heaven. [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is looking at the constellation 'Scribe of Heaven'.] [There is one minute left to complete the Sponsor Selection.] I asked Bihyung. 'How many now?' [9,973… 76, 77.] It had finally reached a breathtaking level.
[9,981… 84.] 30 seconds left. [9,993.] 20 seconds. [9,998.] [A few constellations are holding their breaths.] 10 seconds. [9,999…] 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds… [The Sponsor Selection has ended.] Then I let out a light sigh. I gazed at Bihyung who opened his mouth with a smile. [I'm really sorry everyone.] [Many constellations think it is ridiculous!] There was no use in yelling. [Current number of subscribers: 9,999] The screen that floated next to Bihyung showed reality. Some incarnations saw it and their mouths dropped open. Shin Yoosung asked, "Ahjussi, are you a star on Youtube?" Maybe it was similar. I spoke in a shameless voice towards the sky. "It is too bad. I would've selected a sponsor if there were 10,000 constellations."
[Many constellations wonder who you would've chosen.] Then Bihyung intervened. [This information can't be revealed to protect the privacy of the incarnation.] Well done Bihyung. [A number of constellations are rioting!] The sky above Yongsan-gu distorted and lightning started to fall towards the innocent people. Sparks filled the air. The dokkaebi's power to influence probability could also block the constellations' wrath. [Now now, all constellations. Please calm down. Unfortunately, the event had to be cancelled because we are lacking one person…] Then Bihyung glanced at me and continued. [As an apology, I will create a compensation event.] The lightning temporarily stopped. [Perhaps you are thinking this? Shit, what should I do if it continues like this?] [Many constellations are listening to the dokkaebi Bihyung's words.] [I understand your thoughts. So! I will punish the incarnation who didn't choose anyone in the second Sponsor Selection! However, I will only do this if the constellations are in favour of it…]
[Many constellations are in favour of the dokkaebi Bihyung's words.] Bihyung nodded with satisfaction. Shin Yoosung stared at me with a dumbfounded expression. "What is happening?" "Don't be upset by the events unfolding." "Ahjussi, why didn't you choose a sponsor?" "Well, it isn't time yet." Honestly, I was a bit shaken when I saw Metatron but if I chose someone here, everything I had done would be in vain. I couldn't enter under anyone else. This was the only way. "Yoo Sangah-ssi. Take the kids and hide." "…Do you have an idea?" "Of course. Never come out unless I signal to you." [A new bounty scenario has arrived!] [You have become the target of the bounty scenario.] As expected, the bounty scenario began. [Bounty Scenario – Punishment] Category: Bounty Difficulty: A Clear Conditions: Brutally kill the incarnation Kim Dokja. The more brutal his death, the more coins you can
receive. Time Limit: 20 minutes. Compensation: 40,000 ~ ????? coins. Failure: ― Anyone who saw it would think I was the fifth disaster. It was 40,000 coins to kill one person. Shin Yoosung paled when she received the scenario. "…Ahjussi?" Yoo Sangah grabbed Shin Yoosung who was reaching for me and retreated. At almost the same time, the incarnations in the area discovered me and started to flock. There was the 'target' mark floating above my head. "Crazy! 40,000 coins?" "Hey, get that fucker!" [Many constellations are enjoying the development of the scenario.] The constellations angry at my choice loved the way I was being chased like a rodent. Everybody had forgotten about the '10,000 event'. Yes, this was the nature of constellations. Bihyung glanced at me and communicated with a nasty expression. –I didn't realize it would turn out like this. 'I knew. I used to do this when working at the game company'.
The only way to appease angry users was to open a new event. Bihyung shivered and murmured. –Is this okay? If it is noticed… I really will receive a Probability Conformity Request this time. In fact, it was an obvious channel manipulation that the number of subscribers didn't break through 9,999. It was because from the beginning, Bihyung's #BI-7623 channel only accommodated 9,999 viewers. I wouldn't be able to escape if someone like Dokgak provoked a fight. Fortunately, there was no one like that present. The low grade dokkaebis had been on guard since the last incident. 'I decided to take the chance'. It was still a dangerous method. There was no doubt that some smart constellations would doubt this. The number stopped exactly at 9,999. This defied coincidence. Thus, an event to shift the attention of the constellations was needed. The constellations hated annoying things and were vulnerable to fun. I used the current Punishment event to take advantage of that. Bihyung opened his mouth and spoke to everyone. [Constellations, please note that the incarnation Kim Dokja can receive a penalty if coins are sponsored.] The moment he spoke, my body suddenly became heavy. [A selfish constellations has given you a speed penalty.] [500 coins have been sponsored.]
The more coins I received, the more penalties that would be inflicted on me. The incarnations, who normally never would've been able to follow me, were right on my tail. "Everyone seems blinded by the coins. Right?" I smiled and wielded Blade of Faith. "Uwaaah!" [A constellation who wants your misfortune has given you an attack penalty.] [500 coins have been sponsored.] My attack power was halved and the incarnations didn't die. I was actually glad about this. I didn't want to kill them, [A constellation who wants your death has given you an defense penalty.] [500 coins have been sponsored.] The fucking sponsorship. A dagger flew from somewhere and hit my arm, causing terrible pan. My arm would've been cut off if it wasn't for the Infinite Dimension Space Coat. [A few constellations feel sorry for your adversity.] There were also constellations who supported me. Thank you for your tears. I grabbed my injured arm and ran to the southwest of Yongsan-gu. If I was right, the meteorite where the Disaster of Floods slept was in that direction. The energy of the meteorite showed it was close to hatching. [Bihyung. What the hell is this?]
[What's the matter? It is simple entertainment before we enter the game.] Another dokkaebi's voice was suddenly heard. Now Bihyung was speaking in a strong manner. It was a sharp contrast to my heavy body. Just a bit more… A river finally appeared. "Hold it!" I barely managed to escape from the clutches of other people and plunged into Han River. The other incarnations knew what was in Han River and couldn't easily follow me. "This crazy guy!" The 7th grade ichthyosaurs swarmed like they had been waiting. They wanted to make my feeble self their food. [Many constellations are filled with joy.] I had a thought as I watched the ichthyosaurs. I didn't have any talent. No matter how hard I trained, I wouldn't become as skilled as I wanted. However, I didn't want to use that as an excuse to say I was weak. [The exclusive skill 'Bookmark' can now be activated.] The way that I could become stronger was different from other people. ['Character Bookmarks' is activated.] [Available Bookmark Slots: 4] [Bringing up the list of available bookmarks.]
"I will release Demagogue Cheon Inho from the 3rd slot and add Beast Tamer Shin Yoosung." [The number three bookmark has been activated.] A bright light surrounded my body and the smell of the monsters changed. Some smells were friendly while some were filled with hostility. I realized that there was a world I didn't know. After all, it was sensitivity to the world that determined how a person read it. [The level of the Bookmark skill is low, shortening the activation time.] [Activation Time: 30 minutes] [Your understanding of the character is significant. You can select some of her skills to import.] One of the far-off ichthyosaurs synched with me and complex circuits were forming in my head. [Advanced Diverse Communication Lv. 3 has been activated.] [Taming Lv. 9 has been activated.] Blood flowed from my nose. This was how the kids always felt. I slowly opened my mouth, "Come, Queen Mirabad."
Chapter 101: Ep. 20 – Disaster of Floods, IV The ichthyosaur queen cut through the water. The grandeur of her streamlined body filled Han River. The confused incarnations immediately moved away from Han River. "Uwahh, shit!" "What is this?" There was a feeling of solemnity as I faced her. I was facing the ruler of a species. I once again felt how great Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung were. "Come down." The queen's whiskers touched the water at my words. Once again, it was unreasonable to have the same effect even with the same skill. It was similar to when I used Lycaon's Way of the Wind. I approached her and climbed up using the scales.
The body of the queen shook like she was rejecting my touch. This was the limit for me. Honestly, it felt like my frontal lobe was burning from the connection with the queen. I left the incarnations hunting me behind and opened my mouth, "Let's go." Then my struggle with the queen began. As if she was playing with me, the queen swam through the water regardless of my breathing. "Ahah!" I gasped for air, looking like a wet mouse. "This…!" The surrounding ichthyosaurs poured towards me like they were amused. [The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is laughing at you.] My control was a mess but the queen was moving in the direction I wanted. It was southwest of Yongsan-gu. It was Nodeulseom, one of the few islands in Han River. If I remembered correctly, this island was the place with the most potential for the Disaster of Floods to hatch. 「 The fifth disaster hatched on an artificial island in Han River. 」 Ways of Survival was a novel where the year wasn't specified. Therefore, I didn't know exactly what year Ways of Survival was based on. I thought it was close to the year I lived in but it had been serialized for 10 years and the technology development wasn't right. There was little mention of modern devices in Ways of Survival and sometimes there were no fixed geographical names used.
This situation was an example. 'An artificial island in Han River… where the hell is it? Nonetheless, I was able to determine that it was Nodeulseom due to the description and the size of the meteorite. My thoughts were interrupted by the queen's sudden stop. I rolled down and was thrown on Nodeulseom. Queen Mirabad glanced at me before disappearing into Han River. She was a heartless jerk. [The exclusive skill 'Bookmark' has been turned off.] "Uweeeek." The world turned around as I coughed out the river water. I raised my head and the landscape of Nodeulseom spread out in front of me. I had never been to Nodeulseom before but something felt strange. The trees on Nodeulseom looked like they were before the world was ruined. The ichthyosaurs disappeared and the incarnations were preparing to cross the river. I could see some of the incarnations flying through the sky. I hid behind a tree and held my breath as I watched them. "Where is he? Didn't he obviously come here?" I didn't think there would be so many people who had learnt Flight Maneuvers. These jerks weren't regressors. Why did they adapt so fast? Many of them landed on Nodeulseom and looked around. "Hyung, let's look around. I don't have any confidence facing him alone."
"I agree. Did you see all the stars above his head? He is a monster." "Hero-like traits aren't necessary when dealing with a monster." "…Will he be as strong as the king in the west?" It was a conversation discussing how to kill someone. I thought it was too shameful to compare me to Yoo Joonghyuk. I wanted to hide until the end of the time limit but someone showed up from the forest on the island. "Ahjussis should be careful. Get off this island if you know what is good for you." It was a strong voice. The girl dressed in a black hoodie over her uniform walked towards the men. "Who are you?" "A young person who is unafraid…" "My armmmmm!" "Uwaaaah!" Her sword moved through the air and the men who had their arms cut off screamed. One of the relatively younger incarnations shouted. "It is her, the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare!" "What? Why is that girl here?" "Run! Run away!"
The incarnations hurriedly used Flight Maneuvers but their talent wasn't as high as I thought. A couple were decent. However, the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare wouldn't make just anyone his incarnation, even if they were a descendant of his friend. The girl pointed her sharp blade at me. "Ahjussi, are you going to come out? Why are you hiding when you have the target mark on you?" That reminded me, I still had the arrow above my head. I sighed and left the forest with both hands raised. "Are you going to kill me?" "I'd like to but Master will be sad." The long-haired girl, Lee Jihye put away her sword with a laugh. Her strength had increased in the 10 days we hadn't met. Lee Jihye saw my injured arm and said to me. "How have you been? I don't think you have been well." "Then why ask? I thought you had returned to Daepong High School. Why are you here?" "Master picked me up a few days ago. I don't know how he found me." Yoo Joonghyuk? I knew that Lee Jihye was a key member of Yoo Joonghyuk's party but to go there and find her… I looked at her physical body stats using Calm Observation. The total value was roughly over 160. Her strength and physique seemed slightly lower but she had reached the limit on her stats for the fifth scenario. Moreover, Demon Slayer and Sword Training had improved further. It seemed that all characters in Ways of Survival
grew faster when they weren't around me. Did they all have a mental block because of me? "What about ahjussi's party? Have you meet Heewon unni?" "The others are waiting in Yongsan-gu. I haven't met Heewon-ssi yet." "Too bad. She wanted to see you." Come to think of it, Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye were in similar positions. I looked around carefully and asked, "Did you come with Yoo Joonghyuk?" "Huh? Why does ahjussi know everything?" At this moment, I heard a sound from the edge of Nodeulseom. Incarnations who had been fighting the ichthyosaurs finished and approached the island. Some came on duck boats and some swam. Some of them came on boats or used special skills. They looked like group tourists. "I found him! There he is!" I was the tour product. Lee Jihye became angry when she saw the incarnations. "Why did you drag that bunch of trash here?" "I brought them to catch the disaster." Some people were preparing themselves for the disaster but not everyone. Those who didn't belong to any groups were hiding all over Seoul, waiting for someone to clear the main scenario. Then they would take action in the resulting power loss.
The last disaster couldn't be broken by such a flimsy determination. If everyone didn't fight together… "Why did you do that? There is no point." "Huh?" "There won't be a disaster. Master is taking care of it." My eyes stared at Lee Jihye with disbelief. "The last disaster won't be dangerous at all. Instead, useless people can't enter the island… shit, they are entering." Lee Jihye once again pulled out her sword. This was the reason why she controlled the island. Lee Jihye wasn't the only one controlling entrance to the island. A large person waved towards an incoming ship. "Everyone, you aren't allowed inside here. This is a danger zone!" "What? Who are you?" "A lieutenant of the 6502 unit…" "What nonsense is this?!" A flying blade was caught in the man's hands and he stated, "…It is dangerous to resist the authorities." "Y-You!" The lieutenant wore a suit reminiscent of a giant bear and had a dirty beard. "I will take you to a safe place." The lieutenant lifted the man with one hand and threw him to the other side of Han River. The man flew across Han
River at a great speed and landed on the other side. The lieutenant asked, "Is there anyone who needs guidance?" "Crazy! A monster!" The lieutenant facing the incarnations had tired eyes, like a mountain had piled up on his shoulders. It was a face that looked terribly weary. 「 It is hard… .」 「 I think I will die… 」 「 Dokja-ssi, where are you? 」 "Lee Hyunsung-ssi." At that moment, Lee Hyunsung looked at me. His expression was like he found an oasis in the middle of a desert. "Dokja… Dokja-ssi?" Lee Hyunsung came towards me. I instinctively took a step back. "D-Dokja-ssi! It's me! Lee Hyunsung!" I was about to open my mouth when another group of incarnations disembarked. "There he is! Catch him!" Lee Hyunsung's expression distorted. "I… told you it is a danger zone!" He turned around and slammed his fist into the ground. [The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has used the stigma 'Great Mountain Smash Lv. 5'.]
The entire island of Nodeulseom shook as the edges exploded. I was captivated by the second scene of incarnations flying. That Yoo Joonghyuk bastard, how did he raise a person? I asked the delighted looking Lee Hyunsung, "Where is Yoo Joonghyuk?" Lee Hyunsung's expression became slightly sad. "Oh, he is in the middle of the island. That…" "I will be right back. Then we will talk." I ignored Lee Hyunsung's desperate gaze and ran to the center of the island. There were many things I wanted to ask Lee Hyunsung but now wasn't the time. I had to check something quickly. How long did I walk through the forest? I finally saw a huge meteorite stuck in the center of the forest. The size of the meteorite was overwhelming compared to the other ones. The red aura on the surface implied a sure destruction. There was a woman standing in front of the meteorite. "Oh, you are…?" My expression changed at the sight of Lee Seolhwa when the person I was looking for emerged from the rear of the meteorite. "Yoo Joonghyuk." Yoo Joonghyuk stood there calmly, exuding a steady presence. I asked him, "What are you doing right now?" "You must know because you have Future Sight."
I was speechless at the calm answer. The yellow meteorite stuck in the middle of the huge disaster meteorite. I immediately noticed why Yoo Joonghyuk wanted to come here quickly. "Are you feeding the guide meteorite to the disaster?" "The guides will only interfere later. It is better to kill them while we can handle them." Once again, my ominous feelings were always right. This bastard was trying to hatch the disaster early. He was Lee Seolhwa's lover for a reason. "No, why? Putting aside the guide, why are you trying to wake up the disaster early? Have you finally gone crazy?" There was slight disappointment in Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes as he replied, "You don't seem to know a lot this time." "What?" "This disaster was my colleague in a past life." Who didn't know this? Yoo Joonghyuk declared with an arrogant expression, "That's why this disaster is safe." …Safe? Several thoughts passed through my head. …Joonghyuk. Yes. Sometimes he was too naive. [The Disaster of Floods has hatched.] I had forgotten for a while because I received his help several times. This guy in front of me was someone who barely took a step towards the end after dying over one hundred times.
Chapter 102: Ep. 20 – Disaster of Floods, V The situation became clear. This Yoo Joonghyuk believed in something he shouldn't have. I shouted towards Lee Seolhwa, "Lee Seolhwa! Take the kids and escape from this island right now. The Disaster of Floods is different from the past. We must fight her together. If we don't all fight―" "Kim Dokja, don't disturb me if you don't want to die." Yoo Joonghyuk came up behind me and grabbed me by the neck. All of a sudden, my body lost strength and my knees fell to the ground. I bit my lip and exclaimed, "Yoo Joonghyuk, listen to me! The Shin Yoosung waking up now isn't the Shin Yoosung you know. Once you meet her…" I wanted to say more but my voice suddenly changed into a squeaky sound. Dammit. I used Hit a Pressure Point to
gradually relieve the energy that Yoo Joonghyuk had released into my blood. Now I had to subdue him… Of course, no one in Seoul could subdue Yoo Joonghyuk. No, there was only one. That person was coming right now. [The Disaster of Floods is waking up.] Along with the message, a green light emerged from the meteorite. Finally, the hatching of the meteorite began. I heard the voice of the intermediate dokkaebi. [The incarnations of Seoul are really hot-tempered. Other areas aren't so eager to wake up the disaster and are struggling to avoid the disaster…] It was difficult for Bihyung to stall any longer. [Do you miss your first companions? Now, prepare to face the disaster. Your companions are waiting for you in the other world.] [A new main scenario has arrived!] [Main Scenario # 5 – Disaster of Floods] Category: Main Difficulty: SS Clear Conditions: Kill the Disaster of Floods, Shin Yoosung. Time Limit: ―
Compensation: 100,000 coins, ??? Failure: The fall of Seoul. The large meteorite split apart and revealed the interior that was reminiscent of a womb. A completely nude woman was trapped inside like a fossil. It was a mysterious woman with pure white skin. Her beautiful hair was tied up in a ponytail and wrapped around her body. This was the appearance of the adult Shin Yoosung. "A girl?" "What is this? That is a disaster?" Lee Jihye and Lee Hyunsung stopped while some incarnations secretly looked at her. They seemed to feel the severe gap in power. [The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' has offset your mental shock.] The Disaster of Floods was different from other disasters. Unlike other disasters who were weakened by the early hatching, the Disaster of Floods had no such thing. The Disaster of Floods was stronger the earlier she woke up. The moment that Shin Yoosung opened her eyes, white fur grew all over her body. The white fur was reminiscent of an animal's pelt and covered her body in the form of clothing. Shin Yoosung slowly emerged from the meteorite and stepped on the ground. She was like a child taking her first step. She had just taken a step when everyone around her was frozen.
She was a species with a different strength. Even the strong ones among the incarnations found it hard to move. However, there was a person who wasn't troubled by her pressure at all. "I have been waiting, Shin Yoosung." Shin Yoosung slowly turned towards the man. "…Captain?" It was a short encounter but Shin Yoosung instantly realized something. "Captan was waiting for me… this isn't the first time you have seen me? Right?" Yoo Joonghyuk nodded. "I need your help." "Before that, what regression are you on now?" "Why are you wondering?" "I need to know." Yoo Joonghyuk hesitated for a moment before replying. "The third time." "Ah, I see… Then you met me in the second regression. Right?" "Yes." She was the reason why Yoo Joonghyuk could reach the 46th scenario in the second regression. It was thanks to the Disaster of Floods in front of us. The Disaster of Floods was Shin Yoosung from the 41st world line. She came to the past because of the Yoo Joonghyuk of the 41st regression. Shin Yoosung was abandoned by his world, travelled for many years and eventually descended into a scenario of the past Earth.
"This is the third regression. I gave you information last time but you still failed?" "That's why I need more information." The second regression Shin Yoosung chose Yoo Joonghyuk and gave him all the information she knew. It was a final consideration for the Yoo Joonghyuk that she knew. It was only for the second regression. Shin Yoosung opened her mouth. "…It took thousands of years." I could feel countless years of fatigue piled up in Shin Yoosung's expression. The things done by the 41st round Yoo Joonghyuk were worse than murder. Thousands of years. This period of time was enough to make a person collapse and for their ego to wear down. Shin Yoosung endured all that time and finally became a disaster. "Captain, do you know how hard it was for me? I endured all these years to comply with your request." "…What do you mean?" "I wanted to see Captain." Yoo Joonghyuk didn't see the despair in Shin Yoosung's smile. He opened his mouth in a nonchalant manner. "Give me all the information from the 41st regression. Did the future me say anything?" I wanted to shout at him but my voice wouldn't come out. Shin Yoosung's eyes were as calm as the eye of a storm. Only I could read the turbulent emotions hidden deeply in her eyes.
「 Nothing has changed. 」 Thanks to Yoo Joonghyuk, Shin Yoosung moved alone in the labyrinth of worlds for over 1,000 years. She worked 200 years for the sake of humanity. She kept her promise to defend the world for 200 years. Then for another 200 years, she remembered Yoo Joonghyuk and her companions. Throughout the years, Shin Yoosung used the handful of memories to protect herself. However, questions rose the more she remembered. 「 What does all of this mean? 」 Time erased her cause and sense of justice. Once the cause disappeared, only the poor human truth remained. She felt resentment towards Yoo Joonghyuk who turned her and her companions into a tool of 'regression'. Loneliness and despair of losing the world permeated her bones. Shin Yoosung hated Yoo Joonghyuk who made her into this. "Captain has never changed." "Don't say unnecessary things and turn over the information. I don't have time." "What are 'we' to Captain?" "…What?" "I did everything for you. I gave you one chance. However, Captain is still here." She graciously helped Yoo Joonghyuk in the second regression. "You will keep going forward. You will turn people like me into tools and abandon me in the terrible labyrinth of worlds. It is all because of that goddamn sense of justice. I hate you for living in this world alone."
Now Shin Yoosung was facing the Yoo Joonghyuk of the third regression. "There is only one thing I'm going to tell you. Captain can't save anyone." Shin Yoosung laughed. "Your third regression ends here." Light emerged from Shin Yoosung's hands the same moment I was able to release myself using the pressure point. I ran with all my strength and was hit by the ether storm. "Get out of the way Yoo Joonghyuk!" My belly was split open and my mind became blank. A massive crater formed in the center of the island. Me and Yoo Joonghyuk jumped into the air and then rolled along the ground for a while. It hurt. Shit. It really hurt. "…Kim Dokja?" The surprised Yoo Joonghyuk looked down at my fallen self. My breathing was fast and the sky had turned yellow. It was true that I had been lucky so far. The world was originally like this. Only one thing had to go wrong for the world to be destroyed. "Kim Dokja!" Bastard, there was no need to make a big fuss. I smiled at Yoo Joonghyuk and told him, "Hey, kill me. You usually want to kill me." "What do you mean?" "There is one minute left so I'll let you kill me. Kill me."
Yoo Joonghyuk looked at my belly. I wanted to touch my belly but it felt like nothing was there. Blood constantly emerged from my mouth and I was dizzy enough to vomit. I kept struggling to breathe. [The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' has offset some of the pain.] If it wasn't for Fourth Wall then I might be weeping. I couldn't feel it last time because I died in one blow. "Wait Kim Dokja! It isn't too late." "It is too late." "It isn't!" "If you kill me now then you can gain coins. I'm already dying. Just kill me." Yoo Joonghyuk made an expression that I hadn't seen for a long time. It was the expression he made when he first saw me on the subway. "I can't do it." My vision blurred. I could see Yoo Joonghyuk trying to stop the bleeding but I had already lost too much blood. More than anything… my internal organs were gone. There was no way I could live. It was unreasonable even for Lee Seolhwa. My consciousness slowly scattered into the air like a collapsing sandcastle. [You have died.] . .
A moment later, a system message was heard. [Current karma points: 100/100] [You have enough karma points to use the privilege.] [The privilege of the King of No Killing is activated.] As expected, I opened my eyes in the darkness. It was this state again. It was a truly dirty feeling. [Due to a collision error with your exclusive skill, the privilege of King of No Killing would be delayed.] [Thanks to your death, your consciousness has been completely liberated from the constraints of your body.] [Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint stage 3 has been activated!] I heard familiar messages in the darkness. The next moment, a screen appeared in front of me. It was the third person observation. 「 "Flood." 」 It was like the intermediate dokkaebi said. The Disaster of Floods was more than the other disasters combined. Shin Yoosung gave an order and the air distorted, making monsters pop out. Monster Gate, the main feature of the legend grade attribute Beast Lord. The numerous monsters domesticated by her as
she travelled the dimensions were being released as nightmares on Earth. 「 "Tear, break, destroy." 」 Many 7th grade and 6th grade species could be seen. There were even some comparable to the 5th grade fire dragon. 「 "It is time for the disaster." 」 Nodeulseom exploded and waves covered Han River. The confused incarnations became the food of monsters. The late-arriving 'kings' started giving orders. Then I saw a person with a fearsome aura behind Shin Yoosung. 「 "I'm going to kill you, Shin Yoosung." 」 …This crazy bastard? Yoo Joonghyuk's ether blade moved through the air with a terrible sound. Shin Yoosung avoided the attack and smiled lightly. 「 "Your level of Breaking the Sky Sword is quite high already? However, you can't beat me no matter how you try. At most, it is this level?" "You must turn in this round." "We'll see. I won't die now. It might be possible if it was 10 years later." "I will kill you." "…Captain, aren't you too agitated? What is the reason?" 」 I quietly prepared 1st person protagonist's point of view. In the current situation, it was best to transfer to Yoo
Joonghyuk's body. I didn't feel good but it would be a bit easier to deal with the disaster if I transferred to this guy. 「 "Something is strange. Are you really Captain?" 」 Then Shin Yoosung's eyes shifted to my dead body. 「 "Who is that person? I haven't never seen such a person before." 」 Yoo Joonghyuk stayed silent. He just swung and swung his sword. This was his only answer. How long did he swing his sword? Yoo Joonghyuk slowly opened his mouth. 「 "…That guy." 」 Shin Yoosung's face gradually filled with doubt and disbelief. The silent Yoo Joonghyuk finally spoke. 「 "He is my companion." 」
Chapter 103: Ep. 21 – Things That Can't Be Changed, I 「 "…Captain, what did you just say?" 」 I came to my senses because of Shin Yoosung's disbelieving voice. 「 "Say it again. What did you say just now? What? Companion?" "…" "That man is your companion?" 」 Yoo Joonghyuk didn't reply to the voice filled with distrust. I was surprised as well but Shin Yoosung's shock was devastating. The Yoo Joonghyuk with a strong ego had called me his 'companion'. 「 "Yes." 」
This suddenly scared me. No matter how I thought about it, he wasn't someone who would call me a 'companion'. Didn't this bastard know I was going to be resurrected? [The constellation 'Maritime War God' is touched by your companionship.] [The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' is blushing at your companionship.] [500 coins have been sponsored.] Yes, now I understood. Yoo Joonghyuk, he was looking for coin sponsorship. It was a little strange to see that Uriel wasn't involved but he must be targeting sponsorship by one of the constellations. I became convinced as I watched him bleeding. Considering that this was his third regression, it wasn't impossible for Yoo Joonghyuk to say the word 'companion'. In the early rounds, he had called Lee Hyunsung and Lee Seolhwa 'companions' when they died. It hurt to think about the large number of coins he would be receiving right now. I couldn't help my emotions becoming cold. Damn, I should've said that line. 「 "Captain, how can you say that?" 」 Of course, Shin Yoosung didn't know Yoo Joonghyuk's thoughts and looked as if the world had collapsed. There was no choice. The 41st regression Shin Yoosung… She never once heard Yoo Joonghyuk call anyone his companion. Shin Yoosung's fist hit Yoo Joonghyuk's blade.
Despite the clash between the body and the weapon, the thing that received damage was Yoo Joonghyuk's sword. It was the SS-grade Splitting the Sky Sword. Putting aside the special options, the durability and strength were one of the best. Yet this sword was damaged by Shin Yoosung's fist. In the end, the Splitting the Sky Sword failed to overcome the shock and was bent. The mighty Splitting the Sky was helplessly deflected. 「 "How dare you say this in front of me?" 」 Shin Yoosung shouted and didn't use any special skills. She just threw a punch that contained ether condensed to the limit. Yoo Joonghyuk coughed up blood and flew back at this blow. Her attacks, her speed and her variations. Shin Yoosung was superior to Yoo Joonghyuk in all aspects. The Red Phoenix Shunpo and Breaking the Sky Sword that Yoo Joonghyuk was proud of faded in front of Shin Yoosung. There was the terrible sound of the body breaking and Yoo Joonghyuk was pushed back. It wasn't a matter of talent but a matter of time. Despite being weakened by the descent, the 41st Shin Yoosung was the Beast Lord who was close to the limits that Shin Yoosung could reach. On the other hand, the current Yoo Joonghyuk was in the early stages of Yoo Joonghyuk's growth. 「 "Why call him a companion? Is it because he sacrificed himself for you? Just because of this?" 」 Blood emerged without stopping. However, Yoo Joonghyuk didn't give up. He didn't stop and kept wielding his sword.
That jerk, why the hell was he fighting? I watched the bleeding Yoo Joonghyuk and became increasingly frustrated. Shouldn't he run away after realizing something was wrong? Wasn't that what he normally did? Once again, Shin Yoosung opened her mouth. 「 "Then what about me and the others? Jihye unni and Hyunsung oppa. Seolhwa unni? What the hell are the people who fought with you?" "I… I don't know what you're talking about." "What?" "There is only one thing I know." Yoo Joonghyuk wiped the blood from his lips and said. "You killed my companion in this round. Thus, you will also die." 」 Damn, this time I couldn't help feeling touched. [Excessive immersion has restricted some of the features of Fourth Wall.] I was fooled by his acting. Yes, I read Ways of Survival for this taste. Come to think of it, I had been in tears when Yoo Joonghyuk said something similar to Lee Hyunsung. I suddenly felt restless. A mere reader became a companion of the main character, Yoo Joonghyuk. Shin Yoosung looked at Yoo Joonghyuk with a face that seemed to have lost everything. 「 "You can't be like this…" 」
An ominous aura filled her surroundings. It was a process where emptiness turned to betrayal and betrayal turned to anger. 「 "You are changing. I can't tolerate it." 」 Ether filled Shin Yoosung's fists. I wanted to watch a bit more but I was filled with a sense of crisis. [Excessive immersion leads to a profound increase in the proficiency of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.] If this went wrong then Yoo Joonghyuk would really die. I couldn't let him be killed here. I quickly switched the mode of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. It was from third person to 1st person protagonist's point of view. [Changing your viewpoint to first person.] … [Changing to the 1st person protagonist's point of view has failed.] What? Why? [You have failed to meet the conditions to change the viewpoint.] It felt like I had been hit in the back of the head. There were two conditions to use 1st person protagonist's point of view. One, I must be dead and in an out of body state. Two, the target and I should be thinking about each other.
The first condition was met but the problem was the second condition. That jerk wasn't thinking about me right now? Then what was with all the running amok because of revenge? I watched Yoo Joonghyuk who was frantically attacking and became stunned. 「 "Die. I will kill you." 」 …That bastard, was he thinking about anything? Shin Yoosung watched Yoo Joonghyuk and opened his mouth. 「 "It can't be helped. I was going to finish it quickly but I changed my mind." 」 Shin Yoosung smiled like she was a devil. 「 "I will finish off Captain's world in the most terrible way." 」 Shin Yoosung's eyes shifted away from Yoo Joonghyuk. My heart sank the moment I followed her gaze. Shit, I really couldn't wait here and watch. If I couldn't transfer to Yoo Joonghyuk then someone else… At this moment, a sharp sensation crossed my mind. An unexpected character was thinking of me. …Could I transfer to this person? Was it possible? Ah, that's right. It was because Yoo Joonghyuk said those words. Yes, maybe it would be better to transfer to this person. I don't know, let's just try it. I started projecting my mind towards that person. Then after a while. My vision shook and I became dizzy. [Changing your viewpoint to first person.]
My consciousness was sucked to another place. 'Companion?' The first time she heard it, Shin Yoosung questioned her ears. Companion. How was this possible? This was Yoo Joonghyuk, not another person. Shin Yoosung couldn't understand the emotion that blossomed deep inside her heart. It was an emotion she had forgotten for a thousand years. Yoo Joonghyuk, companion. She didn't know what had happened to Yoo Joonghyuk. But if it was true, perhaps the Yoo Joonghyuk of that time towards her… Shin Yoosung touched the ground without realizing it. 'It is low'. Shin Yoosung thought so. Thus, I thought so. "This is your last chance." She couldn't tolerate such a lowly thing. "If you take your words back then I will send you away without any pain. Say it. Say he isn't your companion, just someone you know." The bleeding Yoo Joonghyuk didn't answer despite his condition. Shin Yoosung had crushed one arm and his legs were weak. Even so, Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes were still alive.
Shin Yoosung stared at Yoo Joonghyuk and gritted her teeth before giving an order. "Hold onto Yoo Joonghyuk." The 6th grade sulfur mummies that had passed through the Monster Gate started moving. Their white bandages grabbed Yoo Joonghyuk's body and Yoo Joonghyuk's limbs were pulled as if they were going to be torn apart. Shin Yoosung declared, "Captain, I'll kill them one by one. Captain, you are the one who chose the most painful way." Shin Yoosung walked towards the edge of the island, leaving Yoo Joonghyuk alone. "Kill her! She is the disaster!" The incarnations climbing up from the water discovered Shin Yoosung. Shin Yoosung waved her hands towards them. The incarnations were touched by the light that came from her hands and were torn apart like wet newspaper. There was no time for them to scream. "Flood." Monsters poured from the Monster Gate at her order. Two of the most powerful monsters were standing behind her like they were guards. The 5th grade sea species, King Masswood. The 5th grade behemoth, Heavy Metal Bean. They were monsters who could cause small disasters in this world. She was about to speak when a sharp strike came from the side. "Where are you going?" It was a flashy sword. The person wielding it wore a black hoodie over a slim skirt. Shin Yoosung immediately
recognized who she was. Demon Slaying was burning in Lee Jihye's eyes. "You dared to make Master look like that?" The majesty of a great constellation emerged from Lee Jihye's body. It was the power of a person who was stronger than anyone in the sea. Shin Yoosung noticed the stigma that Lee Jihye wanted to use. This place was a river. "…Your Majesty." The moment she started reciting a passage, transparent ships emerged from every corner of Han River. "I still have 12 ships…!" 12 ships appeared on Han River, scattering the water. It was a sight that made people speechless. The stigma of the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare, Ghost Fleet. Despite the oppressive aura of the ships, Shin Yoosung just smiled like she had missed it. "…Indeed. This is Unni's skill." "Unni? You are a lot older than me!" "However, you still have a long way to go. The captain should be on the ship. Why are you in a place like this?" Shin Yoosung reached her in an instant and touched Lee Jihye's chin. There was no time for resistance. "Poor Unni. You don't know anything." "Shit! What is this speed?" Lee Jihye hurriedly retreated but she couldn't escape Shin Yoosung's speed.
"You don't know. Yoo Joonghyuk will use you and abandon you. You will die." Lee Jihye's blade flew towards Shin Yoosung. Shin Yoosung lightly grabbed the blade. "You, who wanted to be acknowledged by Yoo Joonghyuk, died in the sea you loved so much. You were horribly slaughtered by the Japanese who hated your sponsor." "Everybody, attack with full power!" The 12 ships started firing the moment Lee Jihye shouted. Shin Yoosung laughed as she watched the flying shells. "Do you know what Yoo Joonghyuk said after losing you?" The shells hit Shin Yoosung's body. There was the loud sound of an explosion. Shin Yoosung emerged from the smoke and kept talking. "In the future, sea battles will be a bit difficult." The countless shells didn't damage Shin Yoosung's white fur armour. It was one of Shin Yoosung's unique skills, her strongest defense skill called Beast King's Sensitivity. The white fur wrapped around her didn't tolerate even a single scratch. "Don't worry Unni. That won't happen this time." Shin Yoosung laughed. "I'll send you away without any pain."
Chapter 104: Ep. 21 – Things That Can't Be Changed, II Shin Yoosung's right hand quietly rose towards the sky. "Cry, King Masswood." Then the ichthyosaur king behind her quietly raised his body. The king of the ichthyosaurs, the King Masswood used Ice Breath. Han River instantly froze and the ghost fleet firing their shells gradually lost their function. The fleet was unable to move. "Unni, I will give you one piece of advice. The ghost fleet is nothing without water." Everything happened in an instant. Shin Yoosung's fist moved as well. There was the sound of something popping. Lee Jihye lost her sword and flew through the sky. "Of course, it is useless to give the advice at this time."
The bleeding Lee Jihye flew away and had already lost consciousness. King Masswood's Ice Breath had spread completely across Han River. "Aaaagh! What?" The incarnations crossing the cold water shrieked. The hundreds of people were destined to be frozen along with Han River. It was a person watching nearby who saved the helpless incarnations. [The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has used the stigma 'Great Mountain Smash Lv. 5'.] Lee Hyunsung's abnormally inflated right arm hit the frozen river. His right arm seemed to burst as he used Great Mountain Smash to break up the ice. His efforts were rewarded. The surface of the cracked Han River collapsed and the influence of Cold Breath weakened. The incarnations took the opportunity to climb onto Nodeulseom. "Wahhhh!" "Attack!" Shin Yoosung saw Lee Hyunsung standing in the middle of them and smiled sadly. "Yes, Hyunsung oppa. I knew you would be here." "…You know me?" "You were our most reassuring shield. You saved my life many times." Shin Yoosung gestured and the huge chimpanzee behind her hit his chest and walked forward. The 5th grade behemoth,
Heavy Metal Bean. He stomped his hind legs and the nearby incarnations rolled around on the ground. Lee Hyunsung rushed towards Heavy Metal Bean. Lee Hyunsung's swollen arm hit the Heavy Metal Bean's steel muscles. Lee Hyunsung's power was amazing. He wasn't pushed back by the 5th grade behemoth despite his blood vessels bursting and blood flowing from his mouth. No, he was rather overwhelming. Shin Yoosung kept speaking to Lee Hyunsung. "You are the same as ever. Hyunsung oppa. One of Yoo Joonghyuk's most loyal…" "…Who are you?" "You saved the lives of countless people and protected Yoo Joonghyuk to the end. Then you were hit with the breath of the iron blood dragon and scattered into a handful of ashes." "What…?" "Do you know what Yoo Joonghyuk said then?" Shin Yoosung's tongue was a sharp scalpel that transplanted the wounds she received onto another person. "I lost a bad shield." Shin Yoosung saw Lee Hyunsung's changed expression and struggled with a solitary pleasure. 'Yes, you should feel this too. The pain I felt, the sights I saw. I won't unleash all of them but you should understand this too'. However, she didn't know. This round of regression was different from what she knew. Lee Hyunsung hit the Heavy Metal Bean and opened his mouth. "I don't know what you're talking about but I don't
follow Yoo Joonghyuk." "What?" "I am in Kim Dokja's party." "Kim… what?" The Heavy Metal Bean fell to the ground with a loud sound. Shin Yoosung's expression hardened and she approached Lee Hyunsung. "What are you talking about?" There was a popping sword and Lee Hyunsung flew through the air. Shin Yoosung had punched Lee Hyunsung in the belly. The ether storm pierced through Lee Hyunsung's solid skin and he flew to the middle of Han River. The blow was hard enough to cause all his organs to rupture. The Lee Hyunsung of the third round would no longer be able to live. However, a question remained in Shin Yoosung's head. It was a name she had never heard of before. Kim Dokja… Who was he? Shin Yoosung tore off the heads of the incarnations rushing towards her and slowly walked towards the frozen river. The frightened incarnations fled and were torn apart by the claws of monsters. Little by little, despair filled the eyes of the people. A sense of resignation spread through the incarnations facing the impossible disaster. "Shoot!"
Of course, there were some people who tried to resist. The kings grouped up and used long distance skills to fire arrows and ether bullets. Shin Yoosung knew them. King of Beauty, Min Jiwon. The Maitreya King Cha Sangkyung. The Neutral King, Jeon Ildo. It was strange. They were those who originally shouldn't be alive or had already gone under Yoo Joonghyuk's leadership. It was because all kings other than Yoo Joonghyuk should've been incorporated into one throne at the end of the fourth scenario. Then what the hell was this? "Attack! There is only one enemy!" Who the hell was this army under? Where had the Absolute Throne gone? Who was governing this world? It was at this moment that she felt killing intent. The ground where Shin Yoosung was standing was frozen. …Ice Breath? She reflexively looked behind her and saw a large serpent pouring its breath towards her. It wasn't the King Masswood. She raised her right hand and the King Masswood moved. Two ichthyosaurs roared at each other as they collided. The king and queen bit at each other, turning the entire Han River into a huge battlefield. An ichthyosaur the size of a dragon was fighting King Masswood. This ichthyosaur, Shin Yoosung knew its identity.
"…Queen Mirabad?" She knew that the queen was on Earth but there was no reason to attack her. No, what was this? "Are you the future me?" A voice was heard. She looked back and Shin Yoosung's mind became blank. The nostalgic days shook her soul. "Save ahjussi!" The girl shouted while a woman tried to stop the girl. "Yoosung, no!" Shin Yoosung recovered from the shock and noticed everything. "Haha… yes. I knew it." Shin Yoosung moved towards the girl. She knew why Yoo Joonghyuk had done this. He was a human who would just any means and methods to achieve his purpose. "Yoo Joonghyuk, you son of a bitch…" "Yoosung, flee!" Yoo Sangah simultaneously activated Hermes Walking Method and Arachne's Spiderweb. Shin Yoosung's eyes narrowed. '…Olympus?' However, Yoo Sangah's dagger didn't reach Shin Yoosung. Shin Yoosung made a simple hand gesture and the flying monsters gathered around the gate flew towards Yoo
Sangah. In a flash, Yoo Sangah disappeared into a horde of monsters. Shin Yoosung ignored Yoo Sangah and approached the little girl. The girl looked up at her with fear and anger. The girl wasn't able to move an inch. Shin Yoosung raised a hand to the girl's cheek. "Yoo Joonghyuk really did find the 'me' of this world." "Uh, ah…" "He tried to kill the little 'me' to stop me. Right?" A terrible joy filled Shin Yoosung's head. The faded hatred and anger quickly returned to their place. There were some things that couldn't be changed no matter how many times a person went back to the past. The 'disaster' Shin Yoosung laughed. "Hello, my past self." The moment her hand moved, a strong blow came from the rear and swallowed up Shin Yoosung. The dust rose and a giant praying mantis appeared. "A 6th grade insect king?" "Titano! Do it!" The sickle attacks of the praying mantis turned the ground into tofu. It was a scary attack. Of course, it wasn't an attack that could kill a disaster. "Get lost." The ether condensed in Shin Yoosung's right arm and drilled a hole in the titanoptera's stomach. The praying mantis spilled green blood and fell to the ground.
