Chapter 148

Translator: Rainbow Turtle

He stood at the entrance of the banquet hall .  If I was right, he was one of the high level constellations who supported me since the beginning of the scenarios .

「There was a mischievous look on the face covered with white-gold hair . One of the most powerful authorities who was imprisoned in the smallest prison of the world . I was unable to breath as soon as I encountered the noble self and piercing eyes . 」

This was the description from Ways of Survival . I watched in a spellbound manner . This was a top presence located at the top of Ways of Survival . I ignored the housekeeper and ran inside .  “The Great Sage the Equal of Heaven!”

However, the laughing Great Sage the Equal of Heaven disappeared in front of my eyes .  He was like smoke .  It was as if he was telling me I wasn’t qualified to meet him yet .

…A clone?

My hand fell in a dejected manner but the situation wasn’t over .  I suddenly called out the name of the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven, making the constellations on the first floor of the banquet hall pay attention to me .

[Who is that person?]

An incarnation called the nickname of a particular constellation .  Most of the constellation didn’t have great expressions .  Gazes focused on me from all over the banquet hall .

[An incarnation?]

[What? Who is that incarnation?]

Countless gazes gathered, the atmosphere was heating up and I was so stiff that I couldn’t move .  My mind became blank and I couldn’t tell who was looking at me .

I thought I could hold on after hearing the constellation’s true voices . However, it was clearly the influence of Fourth Wall .  Just their gazes made me like this .

Now I realized .  I was the only existence in this banquet hall who wasn’t a constellation .  I finally stood before the constellations .

“Now now, please calm down . There was a mistake so I will be taking this friend for a bit . ” I heard a familiar voice and somebody lifted my stiff body and moved it somewhere . As I left the banquet hall and entered the banquet, the hell was over and I barely managed to breathe .

“…Why would you come here alone?”

I turned and saw a familiar figure floating in the air .  “Bihyung?”

“Yes, it’s me . The Queen of Night said she would send an envoy . Didn’t they come with you? Why are you wandering around alone in this place? Do you want to go to hell?”

“There were circumstances . ”

“Hey, is that the problem now? This isn’t the scenario area! If you make a mistake then it is the end! This place…”

“It is a place where there are people who can kill humans with their eyes like we are bugs . ”

I know .  I understood .  That’s why I came here .

Bihyung pouted like he wasn’t satisfied and took me somewhere .  “I’ll take you to the waiting room . Rest there for a while . There is a screen in the waiting room that you can watch . Be sure to take a look . Do you understand?”

There must be something based on the way Bihyung was acting . Not long afterwards, we arrived at the waiting room .  By the way, the sign in front of the waiting room was very strange .

“…Incarnation waiting room? There was something like this?

“Do you think you are the only incarnation? Of course, you are the only one who came here alone . ”

The door opened and I saw an unexpected figure .  He spoke first .  “…Kim Dokja?”

I looked at him with a blank expression and waved awkwardly .  “…Yoo Jonghyuk . ”

***

The constellation banquet was frequently mentioned in Ways of Survival .

It was the place Yoo Jonghyuk usually came to whenever he used ‘regression . ’ It was natural for Yoo Jonghyuk to be included on the invitation list . I didn’t know who was invited this time but this person would try to form a relationship with the narrative grade constellations…

The constellation banquet was a joint event with several countries .  There was the Seoul Dome, Washington Dome, Moscow Dome and New Delhi Dome .

Perhaps the bureau had held a performance presentation to select the best performing domes . Once I saw the list of participating countries… it was similar to Yoo Jonghyuk’s 24th regression .  There were separate incarnations for each country in the waiting room .

Yoo Jonghyuk asked me, “Why are you here?”

“Probably a similar reason to you . ”

“When will you revive?”

“Maybe tomorrow . ”

“The others are worried . ”

“I’m sorry . ”

I felt somewhat uneasy as I had a conversation with Yoo Jonghyuk . His fists were clenched tightly like he was angry . I suspected that he might have anger control issues these days .

I sat in the chair next to Yoo Jonghyuk and watched the scene playing on the large screen in front of me . There was an intermediate dokkaebi promotion ad playing on the screen .

-Thank you to all the constellations and dokkaebis who have given me the glory of the story…

It was an interview with the representative of the low-grade dokkaebis, Bihyung .  That bastard, this was why he told me to watch .

-Half of the glory is actually due to an incarnation working hard in my channel . Maybe he is a friend that you know . I’ll give half this joy to the incarnation!

I felt uncomfortable at the shameless words .

The surrounding incarnations were looking this way so I turned my attention away . Then Bihyung took out a golden egg and raised it up to the sky . I immediately recognized what it was .

-The other half will be given to this child who will be born!

It was the egg where the soul of Shin Yoosung was sleeping .  Fortunately, it seemed to be growing well .

“Don’t tell me, did you…?” Yoo Jonghyuk used Sage’s Eyes as he looked between me and Bihyung’s egg with a shocked expression .

I spoke an excuse .  “It was the only way . ”

“Do you know what you did?”

“I know . ”

“If you do this, Shin Yoosung…!”

I knew what Yoo Jonghyuk was worried about . The person who had been suffering from the ‘story’ for so long was now the subject producing the tragedy . I didn’t have to say that Yoo Jonghyuk knew how painful this was .

I told him, “If she is born as a dokkaebi, at least she will never die . The bureau is the safest place until the Star Stream is destroyed . ”

Of course, this wasn’t the only reason . Still, I couldn’t tell him all my reasons for making Shin Yoosung a dokkaebi .  Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes met mine . It felt like he would pull out his sword and cut me to pieces right here .

“Perhaps… are you Kim Dokja?” The voice that interrupted us caused the tense atmosphere to disappear .  I turned and saw a beautiful mixed-race woman . She had wavy brown hair and gentle brown eyes . Her smile was especially beautiful .

“That’s correct . Do you know me?”

“Oh… a little bit . I have heard stories . ”

It was great . I couldn’t believe this woman came to talk to me first .

“Nice to meet you, Selena Kim . ”

“Do you know me?”

“Aren’t you the representative of the United States? I’ve heard it before . ”

Of course, I didn’t really hear it .  I just knew her .

[Character List Summary]

Character: Selena Kim

Private Attribute: Animal Lover (Rare) King’s Guardian (Hero)

Constellation Sponsor: Ender of Wars

+

Selena Kim from the Washington Dome .

She was a member of Anna Croft’s Chalatustra and one of the strongest 100 women in Ways of Survival . The King of No Killing was an attribute that originally belonged to this woman . Unfortunately, she had acquired another attribute because I took it first…

I asked, “Anna Croft didn’t come?”

“…You know Anna?”

“I’ve met her in a dream the other day . ”

“She wanted to come . If she knew you were coming, she would’ve come . ”

Of course, then the situation would become more complicated .  Why? It was due to this guy .

“Tell that girl to take good care of her neck . ”

“…You are the same as Anna told me, Yoo Jonghyuk . ”

The reason Anna didn’t come here was due to Yoo Jonghyuk .  In the last regression, Yoo Jonghyuk was betrayed by Anna Croft . Anna would’ve seen what she did to Yoo Jonghyuk . Thus, it was natural that she didn’t come here .

“There is a very ugly person on the Korean side . Are you the representative of South Korea?” I looked back and saw that it was Russia’s representative who spoke this time .

“Iris, that’s rude . It is a bad habit to evaluate others based on appearance . ”

“I said he is ugly because he is ugly . Honesty is a virtue in Moscow . ”

White blond hair with pure white skin .  The little girl had her hair up in twin ponytails .

I knew who had come from Moscow . However, I pretended not to know . This girl was one of the people I hated in Ways of Survival . I deliberately asked her, “Who are you?”

“…Don’t you know? You don’t know me, Iris Vladimirovna Rebezova?”

“Should I know you?’

Selena Kim intervened .  “Dokja-ssi, I will introduce you . This is Iris . She is a representative from Russia . In Russia, she is called the ‘Full Body Red Square . ’

“Ahem, that is me . ”

I nodded .   I wanted to say something about the ostentatious nickname but I stopped because it would cause trouble .

Selena Kim continued speaking, “Iris, this is Kim Dokja . He is from South Korea and his nickname… I-I’m sorry, I don’t know Dokja-ssi’s nickname…”

Then Yoo Jonghyuk opened his mouth .  “This nickname is…”

I hurriedly interrupted .  “I don’t have a nickname yet . ”

A ridiculing laugh emerged from Iris’ mouth .  “A person came here without a nickname?”

I had one but it was disgusting .

“I don’t know why you are qualified to be here but you better be good . ”

As the Russia representative showed a fighting spirit, Yoo Jonghyuk moved forward . Perhaps she felt the huge strength of Yoo Jonghyuk . Iris took a half step back .

“Don’t interfere . This is better me and that ugly guy . ” Despite Iris’ warning, Yoo Jonghyuk kept staring at her .

Well done . If you want to slap someone then do it to Yoo Jonghyuk .  In the end, Iris bit her lips and retreated .  “Well, I don’t know what trivial upper grade constellation brought you here to take their story but… let’s just leave it . ”

…Take the story of a upper grade constellation? This girl was somewhat cute .  That reminded me, there was something about the ‘Story Succession’ at the constellation banquet .  Perhaps this was what Iris was alluding to .

Knock knock .

The door of the waiting room open and a low-grade dokkaebi appeared .  “Incarnations . We will be holding the ‘Story Succession’ soon . A place has been temporarily set up on the first floor of the banquet hall . For reference, the first floor is only for the upper grade constellations . ”

[Story Succession . ]

It wasn’t only through Sponsor Selection that the constellations could influence the incarnations . Despite not being their sponsor, an incarnation could build up strength by inheriting the story of other constellations and showing examples of the story . By widely announcing the story, the constellations broadened their power . This was good for both incarnation and constellation .

We walked to the banquet hall one by one .  The first one to enter was Selena Kim .

[Selena Kim! King’s Guardian!]

I’ve been watching your good performance!]

Unlike before, the reaction of the constellations were favourable .  Maybe it was because they met their favourite incarnations .  It was like meeting their favourite celebrity .

Then it was Iris’ turn .  She walked past the constellations and waved lightly like she was giving them fan service .

[Iris! The Red Square kid!]

[Hahaha! Cute . ]

[Isn’t it exactly the same as what I saw on the screen?]

She stood in her place and stared at me .  She seemed to be saying to me, 「 Did you see? 」

…So what? It was soon my turn .

I walked into the banquet hall and the pressure of the gazes poured towards me again . This time, I could endure it . Maybe because I had experienced it once before or because the gazes contained a different feeling .

However, the reaction of the constellations was strange .  The heated atmosphere was quiet, as if cold water had been poured on it .

…Perhaps I wasn’t popular? Iris seemed to be laughing at me .

Then someone opened his mouth .

[…That person . He is Kim Dokja of the Korean Peninsula . ]

[Kim Dokja? That Kim Dokja?]

The chatter started again . It was a completely different reaction from the previous incarnations .

[Kim Dokja! That guy is Kim Dokja . ]

[Kim Dojega! Kim Dojega!]

[The King of a Kingless World!]

The voices of the constellations rose every time I took a step .

[He who opposes the enemy!]

It was like a wildfire spread throughout the hall as the voices continued .

[Hey, do you remember me? The Bald General of Justice!]

[Kim Dokja! I’m King Heungmu the Great!]

I silently walked through the middle of the banquet hall .

[I saw Peace Land very well! Child, can you say something?]

[Hey! Wave your hand over here! I sponsored you 3,000 coins!]

[You came! Kim Dokja!]

[Isn’t he better than what we watched?]

The whole banquet hall seemed to be a vast melting pot as the constellations forgot their dignity . Their souls seemed to be ripening so I was forced to raise my hand towards them and waved .  Then chaos exploded among the constellations .

[Handsome Kim Dokja!]

Iris was looking this way with a dismayed expression .  However, I didn’t see her .  I didn’t come here to play .

The scenario footage was covering the ceiling and walls .  Incarnations were screaming and dying while the constellations laughed as they watched .

I saw this and once again realized what this place was .  It was where all human tragedies became dinner .

I looked up at the second floor of the banquet hall .  Unlike the ridiculous first floor constellations, an ominous silence came from the constellations on the second floor .  They were constellations who each shone with a fearsome presence .

They were the real enemies I had to fight .
