Chapter 163
Translator: Rainbow Turtle
I thought I heard wrong and dug at my ears . However, the message didn’t change .
[A huge fate is hoping for your death . ]
What the? I pressed hard against the brakes as my mind became troubled . Han Sooyoung screamed from the sudden stop . “What is it? I was in the middle of feeling good!”
“Please be quiet . ”
I once again listened . This time a voice appeared as well as the message .
[A huge fate is hoping for your death . ]
This was the third time . I gulped . Dammit . Was there an incident where a ‘fate message’ appeared three times in the original novel?
I thought about it . It was… the 71st regression Yoo Jonghyuk . At that time, Yoo Jonghyuk had been named due to Yama, king of hell .
Shit, what was going to happen?
Han Sooyoung scowled and asked again, “Why? What’s going on?”
“Someone has read my fate . ”
“…Fate?”
Fate . It was as scary as the ‘probability’ in Ways of Survival .
Strictly speaking, this was a force using ‘probability’ in the broader sense . However, there was a reason it was called something different . It was because ‘fate’ was the power of the constellations, who exercised their accumulated probability .
“Uh, wait a minute . It seems to be a story that I vaguely know…”
“Perhaps there was a quick mention in the beginning of the novel . ”
“Fate… is it similar to Future Sight?”
“It is similar but different . ”
In fact, it was very different . Reading fate wasn’t as simple as reading ‘information of the future . ’ Rather, it was even more dangerous .
“If Future Sight is a glimpse of a predictable future, fate was a power that forced a predictable future . ”
I didn’t know if Han Sooyoung understood so I added an explanation .
“For example, let’s say I step on the accelerator for five seconds . Then when I look using Future Sight, won’t I be driving?”
“…Well, I guess . ”
“However, if I know information about the future, I might not step on the accelerator . ”
“That is possible . ”
“Fate is different . If someone reads the fate that ‘Kim Dokja will step on the accelerator for five seconds’, this fate is forced unless it is withdrawn or realized . To put it simply…”
“You must step on the accelerator . ”
I nodded and Han Sooyoung spoke like it was strange . “By the way, isn’t it a bit weird?”
“What?”
“It doesn’t fit the probability . According to you, ‘fate’ is a force that interferes with the scenario but who can force it?”
“Who…”
In principle, the dokkaebis couldn’t interfere with the scenario . Thus, there was only one being who could interfere . Han Sooyoung immediately knew the answer . “Even if it is a constellation, alone…”
“It is a problem because they aren’t alone . ”
“What?”
“Only the big nebulae can read fate . ”
Then a big explosion occurred in front of us . Something was approaching at a formidable pace . It was on a different dimension from the monsters we had met before .
Han Sooyoung’s face paled . “…Kim Dokja, what exactly is the fate message that you received?”
“I will die . ”
“Dammit, you should’ve told me that first! Why does something always…”
Han Sooyoung spat out and was about to leave the car . A presence appeared in front of them . I reflexively drew Unbroken Faith but the man opened his mouth first .
“Kim Dokja . I have something to tell you . ”
It was my first time seeing him but I was accustomed to the energy from his body . I instinctively felt that he wasn’t an enemy .
“You are…”
The moment I smelt the scent of fragrant well and felt the overexcited air, I discovered who this person was .
“…Did you come to say I will die?” I asked .
The incarnation of Dionysus, who smelt of alcohol, smiled at me with white eyes .
“Ah, you already know?”
I had a good impression of Dionysus . He fought for me on the way to the banquet location . Still, that was a different story from the current situation . I opened my mouth and spoke in a wary voice .
“Are you the ones who read my fate?”
“Yes . Olympus read your fate . But if you’re asking if I’m one of them, I’m not . ”
“What do you mean?”
Dionysius’ incarnation just smiled . A thought crossed my mind the moment I saw the smile .
“Surely Olympus isn’t splitting apart?”
“You are truly smart . ”
…Already? This development was faster than the original . The breaking apart of Olympus was scheduled but it should’ve happened after at least 10 scenarios .
“It isn’t just Olympus . Many constellations are aiming at you . They are very strong and mighty existences . ”
I had expected it . Otherwise my ‘fate’ wouldn’t be so overbearing .
“Why are they aiming for me?”
“Those strong people are afraid of your influence . ”
“I’m just a fledgling constellation . ”
“That’s how it should be . However, the scenario started on Earth is very special . Some constellations believe this is the scenario we have long been waiting for . Ahh, don’t make that expression . I’m not saying this so you can understand . ”
I wanted to say that my face always looked like this but Dionysus continued . “In any case, just know that this scenario is very important to us . Then you showed up in the scenario . ”
“I don’t know what it is but I’m disturbing things . ”
“Yes . You are bound to be an obstacle . You will be less influenced by probability than other constellations . You have overwhelming growth and strength compared to other incarnations . That’s why some nebulae believe you should either be absorbed or removed . ”
I briefly looked at Dionysus . “Why are you telling me this information?”
This was the thing i was most curious about . Why was Dionysus showing kindness towards me?
“It is because I like your story . ” Dionysus laughed heartily and added . “Some constellations and I believe that you can reach ■■ . ”

Jung Heewon and the group spent the day investigating the dungeon of Paradise . There was no way to invade with a large number of people at once so the party decided to scatter and find a method . The method Jung Heewon chose was straightforward .
‘I will mix in . ’
In the afternoon, new criminals appeared . Uriel gave her the Recluse’s Cloak and she chased after the guards while the dungeon was open . The guards and arrested criminals went through the underground door without feeling her presence .
The prison was much deeper than she thought and the darkness was beyond her imagination .
‘Where are we going down to?’
It was a depth she couldn’t understand . Why did it need to be so deep, even if it was a prison? It would be inconvenient to move…
She was feeling doubts when the guards’ footsteps came to a halt . Strangely, all of them looked tense .
“All of you, move over there! We will withdraw immediately!”
The guards were afraid, as if this was a place they shouldn’t enter . It was the same for the scary guard captain . Then a thick iron door opened and once it was opened, an entrance filled with metal bars could be seen . There were several layers of steel bars . It was a prison with excessive defenses designed to lock humans in .
“Everybody go in!”
The guards drove the prisoners inside and quickly rushed away .
“Aaack!”
“Help me!”
Jung Heewon mixed in with the prisoners and recoiled at the sight . Why were these people thrown here? What was going on here?
“U-Uhh… where is this place?”
The prisoners looked around . There was a faint light but it was extremely dark . Jung Heewon would’ve also been lost in the darkness if it wasn’t for her Night Vision skill .
‘This is a prison?’
She looked around and didn’t feel it was a prison at all . The surrounding landscape was closer to a natural cave and there was no method to distinguish between prisoners . No, there were no other prisoners trapped in the first place .
‘How does food distribution happen? What the hell is this?’
It was a ‘dungeon’ system that couldn’t be understood at all . The prisoners she came in with were also disconcerted .
“What are we supposed to do here?”
“Excuse me! Is anybody there?”
The scared prisoners shouted but there was no reply . Instead, faint sounds were heard in the darkness .
Jung Heewon slowly pulled out the Sword of Judgment . The moment she stepped in here, the crying of her sword became more violent .
‘This…’
An eerie sensation reached her back and Jung Heewon shouted, “Everyone, run away!”
However, it was already too late . Monsters rushed from the darkness and pounced on the people .
“Uwaaaack!”
“Save me! Kuaack!”
Leopard-like creatures were randomly biting people’s arms and legs . People’s limbs were torn apart like they were toys and blood splattered .
She originally only planned to rescue the woman from Geumho Station but things changed . The almost level 10 Demon Slaying skill was activated and a red aura wrapped around her body .
Her Kendo drew a perfect line in the air . The leopard’s body was split apart in a neat line . The agitated leopards kept following her but she cleaned up the monsters .
Jung Heewon’s power reached its peak in a place where demons were swarming .
“I-I don’t know who you are but thank you…” The people in the darkness found her presence and thanked her . However, Jung Heewon couldn’t afford to accept the thanks . She had seen the faces of the leopards .
‘What the hell is this?’
The leopards had the faces of humans . Jung Heewon reflexively ran through the darkness .
All her senses had become cold with fear .
She ran and soon arrived at a cavern that was huge beyond her capacity to measure . To be precise, it wasn’t a cavern . There were countless monsters in it . This was like the boundary of the Demon World .
There were 5th grade, 4th grade and even 3rd grade species . There were also monsters she didn’t know the rating of .
“This is Paradise…”
She couldn’t find the woman from Geumho Station . Of course, Jung Heewon wouldn’t be able to find the woman . She had already been eaten or…
Kuaaah!
She would become one of these monsters . The monsters felt her lifeforce and were excited . Most of them were mixed breeds between demons and other monster species . Some looked like insect kings while others were the outside species… although this was just from the external appearance .
Prisoners were approaching behind her .
“Don’t come!”
Before her cry reached them, the ground started to shake and the monster’s feast began . The monsters ran out of the cavern like ants . Jung Heewon bit her lips and used her hell flames again .
‘I shouldn’t have come in alone . ’
No, what could the others do if they came with her? Could Lee Hyunsung and the children fight against these distant enemies? Rather, it was good that she came alone .
“Kuaaack!”
The prisoners were eaten as prey while Jung Heewon wielded the Sword of Judgment and used Hell Flames Ignition . The burning heat of the archangel’s flames caused the frightened demons to step back and be more cautious .
She didn’t know how long this confrontation could continue . Some monsters watched the movement of the flames and dared to jump forward .
“Oh, you are an archangel’s incarnation . ”
At this voice, the monsters who weren’t afraid of the flames withdrew with weak groans .
She turned around and see Reinheit . He asked, “Are you ready to be the chief of the guards?”
“…Can you say that after seeing me?”
Jung Heewon told him, “You are a liar . Paradise? Get away from the horror of the scenario? Can you say that to me after making this place?”
She pointed the Sword of Judgment at Reinheit . Kim Dokja was right . There was no such thing as paradise in this world . They… were bound to continue the scenario .
Reinhart said, “If you want to kill me, you can . ”
“I don’t need your permission . ”
She would naturally do so . She would borrow the power of her sponsor and end this terrible nightmare .
[Judgment Time is activated!]
[The constellations of the absolute good system are struggling with your request . ]
