Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 182

Chapter 182

[You have died . ]

The aftereffect was death .  It was the shock from my stories being eaten by the Eater of Dreams .  It was quickly restored with the ability of the Fourth Wall but it was difficult for it to be as perfect before it was broken .

‘The head…’

I was in a half-awake state for three days .  My consciousness only appeared and disappeared . Every time my consciousness returned, I reflected on what had happened so far .

‘After this scenario, the flow of the story will return . ’

During the course of the first nine scenarios, I undermined the flow of the original novel . It ranged from saving a few people to largely changing scenarios .

Of course, changing the scenarios didn’t mean that the original elements would be useless . Yoo Jonghyuk had experienced over a hundred life cycles . Even if the scenarios changed, there was still plenty of information I could use .

Nevertheless, in order to take advantage of the large currents, there should be parts that flowed according to the existing scenario .

Fortunately, the Seoul Dome Scenario was a closed scenario .

There was the national convention in the middle and there were a few butterfly effects to worry about, but the flow of the Star Stream is still what I remembered .

Moreover, some of the characters had grown beyond what I thought . , I had enough power to drive the flow in the future .

I observed the characters one by one using the third person perspective .  The first one I checked was Jung Heewon, the Judge of Destruction .

“It isn’t easy to control yet . My sponsor said that once I can use this perfectly, I could deal with that tentacle monster… I don’t know when that can happen . ” Jung Heewon muttered as she emitted white flames .

She had little weight in the original and was the most powerful character I chose .

She had the Judge of Destruction attribute from Ways of Survival and gained Uriel’s Hell Flames Ignition . If this continued, it wasn’t strange for her to be one of the top 100 strongest people in Ways of Survival or even the top 10 .

Lee Hyunsung, who was sparring with Jung Heewon, opened his mouth .  “It is getting better little by little, Heewon-ssi . ”

“I think Hyunsung-ssi has also improved a lot . Now you can cover your whole body with steel . ”

Jung Heewon spoke without knowing anything but she wasn’t wrong .  Before the end of the Seoul Dome scenario, Lee Hyunsung started to inherit Steel Transformation . However, Lee Hyunsung wasn’t satisfied with his accomplishment .

“I am working hard but… there is still a long way to go to help Dokja-ssi . ”

There were people who did better when they were told to keep up the good work and that they were going a good job .  This was the case with Lee Hyunsung .

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name has sponsored 100 coins to Incarnation Lee Hyunsung . ]

“D-Dokja-ssi?” The perplexed Lee Hyunsung stuttered with wide eyes .

Jung Heewon clicked her tongue .  “Wow, he truly is watching . He has the temperament of a stalker but… isn’t 100 coins too stingy?”

I turned my gaze towards the two children practicing Taming . The children kept commanding the mighty dragon . Shin Yoosung felt my gaze and smiled towards the air .

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name is smiling gently . ]

In Ways of Survival, the relationship between constellation and incarnation was often similar to a parent and child . I never had a child but I knew what it felt like when seeing Shin Yoosung .

It was a bond that was more solid than blood . It was really tiny and fragile yet so precious that I didn’t know what to do…

Of course, not every father in the world was a good father and not all constellations had the same mind . It was common for incarnations to be stabbed in the back by their sponsors .

The second grade evolutionary species, the Chimera Dragon let out a deep cry .

It still wasn’t completely obeying but since it joined, the power of the party had shot up . It was currently a second grade species but if it reached first grade or transcendence, the dragon would become a monster that even constellations were afraid of .

Lee Jihye looked at the chimera dragon and sighed enviously .  “Damn, I should’ve chosen a good sponsor . I thought that the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare was good…”

In any case, the ones who didn’t work hard were those who complained the most .

A person who didn’t know how excellent the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare was… once I got back, I should teach her a lesson .

I looked around at all the characters and sighed lightly as I organized my thoughts .

‘This is good enough for the next scenario . ’

Lee Jihye and Gong Pildu’s growth was a bit disappointing but the situation wasn’t bad . There was even Yoo Sangah present . Once we escaped from Seoul Dome, progressing through the subsequent scenarios would be quite easy .

“Master! Do you have any strong skills that don’t require a sponsor? Teach me!”

“It is impossible for you now . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk had overcome the regression depression to a certain extent . If they continued to follow Yoo Jonghyuk’s route, I didn’t have to worry about the survival of the characters .

Rather, the problem was on my side .

[A huge fate is hoping for your death . ]

I looked at the fate message that still hadn’t disappeared .  I had hoped the fate might be fulfilled after experiencing death because of my mother . Naturally, that didn’t happen .

Maybe the person who would kill me wasn’t the significant problem .  The important thing was that I couldn’t avoid this fate with ‘resurrection . ’

‘Damn nebulae bastards…’

In the end, the reason this happened was because I changed the scenarios too much . I also received excessive attention after becoming a constellation . This way, the problem would constantly appear, even if I postponed it through resurrection .

‘There shouldn’t be another situation like this . ’

It was true just looking at the Eater of Dreams .  An outer god descended and the party was nearly destroyed .

It didn’t matter since I could resurrect, but the other party members couldn’t .  None of the party members could die . In particular, everything would be in vain if Yoo Jonghyuk died .

In the first place, all of this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for me .

[The nebula ‘Vedas’ is waiting for your resurrection . ]

[The nebula ‘Papyrus’ is waiting for your resurrection . ]

[The nebula ‘Olympus’ is waiting for your resurrection . ]

The nebulae were still waiting for a chance .  I had attracted their attention and was too weak to stand up against them .  How could I protect my party members and shake off the nebulae…

‘Indeed, that is the only way . ’

Then a system message emerged .

[All the conditions for resurrection have been met!]

[The attribute ‘Eight Lives’ has been activated!]

Now it was time to go back .

[Your body will be resurrected . ]

***

There was the sound of a breath being taken .

The hardest moment to adapt to was the first breath after the resurrection . I woke up but darkness filled my surroundings . Maybe it was because my party members put me in a coffin .

Damn, I didn’t know why they put a person who would survive inside a coffin . Were they acting sarcastic?

[The privilege of ‘Eight Lives’ has been activated . ]

[The third head of the snake has been sacrificed . ]

[The power of the head is ‘fighting spirit . ’]

Once again, I received a privilege effect .  The benefits of Eight Lives were less effective than other high-level privileges but it was better than nothing .

The legs that had been lost in the process of dying were restored to their original state . Now the only thing left was to kick off the coffin lid .

“Ohh! The rumor is real!”

“He really resurrected!”

As soon as I pushed off the lid of the coffin, the people gathered in the area cheered . Maybe rumours of my resurrection had spread because a variety of incarnations were gathered and watching me .

[Your resurrection has increased your fame among the incarnations . ]

[Your status is rising modestly . ]

Finally, Jung Heewon used Hell Flames Ignition to greet me .  She used the skill in a way that would make the constellations of Eden enraged .

“Congratulations on your resurrection . ”

“…Please don’t put me in a coffin next time . ”

“Just wait . I’ll bring the others . ”

Jung Heewon left and the indirect messages of the constellations poured into my ears .

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ rejoices in your resurrection . ]

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is congratulating you on your return . ]

[The constellation ‘Goryeo’s First Sword’ is praising your courage . ]

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is grumbling and putting his hands in his pockets . ]

[Many constellations greatly admire your achievements . ]

[90,000 coins have been sponsored . ]

90,000 coins…

Perhaps it was because they weren’t able to help me the day before yesterday .  It was a bit disappointing but I understood . Rather, it would be more disappointing if they helped me confront the other nebulae .

[The evaluation of your achievement has been completed . ]

[You have earned the ‘semi-myth’ rated story . ]

[The story ‘One Who Killed an Outer God’ has been acquired!]

.

.

.

[Due to the achievement of the story, some outer gods show hostility towards you . ]

[Due to the achievement of the story, some outer gods are curious about you . ]

[Due to the achievement of the story, some great old ones are watching you . ]

[Your modifier will soon be announced . ]

A semi-myth level story…

It was a bit disappointing that I didn’t receive a myth rated story but it was still satisfactory .

I would’ve received a myth rating if I fought a great old one . However, if I actually encountered a great old one, I would’ve vanished before I could even have a conversation .

[You have achieved a new story during the evaluation .

[The acquisition of a story beyond the existing stories means your status will be re-evaluated . ]

[The status will be published in the following scenarios . ]

[Your fifth story is in progress . ]

It would be good to start as an upper-grade but at this rate, I might be a considerable level among the upper-grades .

It would be announced in the following scenarios .  The timing was okay .

The long-awaited tenth main scenario, the 73rd Demon King .  This scenario was the last scenario to be carried out in Seoul Dome and the participants were extremely limited .

Only the first and second place in the Dark Castle rankings could challenge the scenario .  Of course, they wouldn’t challenge it alone . They could team up with four rankers .

[Your current Dark Castle ranking is 2nd place . ]

I could take four people with me .  However, it would be difficult to deal with the enemy that would appear on the next floor with them alone .

In other words, I had to get the help of the first ranked person to complete the Dark Castle scenario .

Then who was first place?

“Kim Dokja . ”

As soon as I thought this, a voice was heard behind me .  I started smiling .

…Indeed, he was first .

“Yoo Jonghyuk, are you now ranked first?”

“Are you talking about the Dark Castle rankings?” Yoo Jonghyuk nodded and instantly replied .  “I am first . The situation is different from the Seoul rankings . ”

This jerk, he was upset that he wasn’t first previously .  In any case, he was a stingy guy .

I inwardly grumbled while opening my mouth .  “I need your help . You know how you can take people to the next scenario? If you and I take them…”

I could see my party members running in the distance .

In particular, Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung were fighting each other to be in the lead . I didn’t know why they were doing this since there wasn’t a prize for being first .

I talked for a while but Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t answer .  I felt something strange and saw Yoo Jonghyuk staring at me with serious eyes .

“Kim Dokja, what is your purpose?”

“Purpose? What is my purpose?”

“If your final goal to reach the end of all the scenarios?”

I hesitated for a moment before answering .  “Well, I guess so . ”

“Can you promise not to give up on that goal, no matter what?”

…What was with this guy all of a sudden? I wanted to turn it into a joke but I couldn’t help feeling serious when watched Yoo Jonghyuk .  “Of course I won’t give up . By the way, why are you asking?”

“It’s nothing . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk looked away from me towards the party members . His left eyebrow was twitching . I saw the eyebrow wriggling like a caterpillar and sensed something in my heart .

“Hey, you…”

I knew because I had read to the end of Ways of Survival .  Yoo Jonghyuk’s left eyebrow only twitched when he made a serious decision .  Once this guy made a serious decision, there was always a high probability of death and regressing .

I wanted to use Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint on this bastard but the party members had already arrived . Before I could speak, Yoo Jonghyuk took the lead first .

“I will announce the participants for the tenth scenario . ”
