Chapter 205
Unfortunately, Han Myungoh’s words didn’t continue . Han Myungoh was knocked unconscious because he received a penalty from disclosing some of the details of his contract with Asmodeus .
I felt a bit sad because it was broken off at the exciting part .
「 Kim Dokja thought: In any case, the demon kings and constellations have started to show interest in this world . 」
The land of abandoned scenarios, the Demon World . This world, which had long been shunned by the constellations, was starting to receive attention again .
-Humans can’t beat them! Compared to them, we are just insignificant bugs!
Han Myungoh had said this several times . He had been in the Demon World for several months so he was well aware of the strength of the senior nobles and demon kings .
This despair was understandable . In fact, even the early-mid Yoo Jonghyuk had struggled in the Demon World . Of course, that was Yoo Jonghyuk’s story . I was different .
My stomach started growling because I had stayed awake all night . I headed to the pub and asked Mark to cook some simple dishes . Jang Hayoung was sitting absentmindedly at a table . I quietly approached him and sat down .
“Hiik!”
“You say that every time . ”
Jang Hayoung stared at me with an ugly expression and screamed, “What is it? What? What other issue are you coming to create?”
“Why are you so grouchy?”
“…Never mind . ”
“Why? What happened?”
Jang Hayoung couldn’t easily answer my question and stared at the plate in front of him . I knew that I couldn’t urge him and just waited .
Mark glanced between Jang Hayoung and I . It was unknown what he was thinking but he suddenly winked . After a while, Jang Hayoung opened his mouth .
“Why did you let me join the Revolutionary Army?”
“What?”
“I’m not a guardian or revolutionary . I’m not the chairman of the Civil Council like Aileen . ”
[The character ‘Jang Hayoung’ has used Lethargy Lv . 4 . ]
[The character ‘Jang Hayoung’ has used Self-Loathing Lv . 10 . ]
Damn, it was starting . I had forgotten for a while . If Yoo Jonghyuk suffered from the ‘regression depression’ then this person suffered from a thorough ‘self-loathing . ’
I didn’t think there were any main characters of Ways of Survival who were sane .
The small shoulders quivered . I would feel better if I hit him on the shoulder but it would be hard for him to feel comforted .
[Your understanding of the character ‘Jang Hayoung’ has increased . ]
Jang Hayoung stared out the window . He seemed to be looking at Aileen who was cleaning up the previous incident . Jang Hayoung spoke again, “…Night will come again . Will you still be able to protect the people?”
“Maybe not,” I answered honestly . “I don’t know all the executioners . It is impossible to catch all of them before tomorrow’s Night . ”
There were seven executioners who hadn’t been caught .
If those seven people made up their minds and started attacking people, tomorrow night would be a bloody festival . I added before Jang Hayoung could fall into despair .
“There is no other way to stop it . We must find the fighter . ”
The fighter . It was the only position that could deal with an executioner during the Night . If I could find that position, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to restore the atmosphere .
However, Mark interrupted from where he was cooking . “…I’m sorry but there probably won’t be a fighter . ”
“What? Mark, how do you know this?”
“There is no one from the old generation to pass on the skills of a ‘fighter’ . ”
Unlike other positions, a fighter could only receive the position through ‘succession . ’ Mark kept speaking . “After the fighter died protecting the former revolutionary, there was no successor . ”
I already knew this information . In fact, there was no fighter in this industrial complex . In the original novel, Yoo Jonghyuk had been very confused by this . I bit into the sandwich that Mark gave me .
“If there isn’t a successor then we have to create one . Inherit the position from another fighter . ”
“As far as I know, there are no fighters left in the 73rd Demon Realm . ”
“I’m not going to find them in the Demon World . ”
“What?”
I glanced at Jang Hayoung . Now was the time . I spoke to the blank-looking Jang Hayoung . “Hey, talk to the wall . ”
“W-What does that mean?”
“You have a ‘wall . ’ Every time you try to learn something, that wall blocks you . ”
“H-How do you know about the wall?” The startled Jang Hayoung stared at me .
“There are ways for me to know,” I smirked and replied .
Other people might not know it but Jang Hayoung had a ‘wall . ’ To be precise, it was a wall called the Unidentified Wall . This wall had been blocking Jang Hayoung’s growth so far .
“Isn’t it because of the wall that you never learnt any skills? That’s why you’re like this . Lethargic, self-loathing…”
“W-What?”
“I know you think it is a wall of talent . However, it isn’t a wall of talent . It has a different purpose . ”
“No, how do you…!”
“In any case, quickly talk to it . You can communicate with that wall . ”
Jang Hayoung’s face turned red after hearing that he could talk to the wall . I wanted to tell him not to worry . After all, I was in the same boat in regards to talking to a wall . Jang Hayoung hesitated before slowing opening his mouth .
“T-That…”
“Quickly . ”
A moment passed before Jang Hayoung triggered the skill .
[The character ‘Jang Hayoung’ has used Unidentified Wall Lv . 1!]
Jang Hayoung’s pupils were white . It wasn’t visible to me but perhaps in Jang Hayoung’s vision, he would be surrounded by a white wall .
A pure white wall with nothing written on it . It wasn’t strange for Jang Hayoung to get a mental illness if he was blocked by such a wall every time he tried to learn a skill .
Jang Hayoung carefully opened his mouth . “Excuse me… Wall-nim?”
Surprisingly, I also heard a message the moment Jang Hayoung spoke .
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is giving off a wrinkled impression . ]
I didn’t know why . Maybe it was because I had a similar ‘wall . ’ Either way, it was good .
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is looking at its master . ]
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ says: You aren’t qualified yet . ]
As expected, it was just as petulant as the original novel . I was prepared .
“Hey, don’t do that and give your permission . If you don’t help, your kid will die . ”
Jang Hayoung was surprised by my sudden words and stared at me . The next moment, the Unidentified Wall spoke .
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ says: Who are you?]
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ says: How can you hear my voice?]
“It isn’t important who I am . Just give your permission . If it is level one, can’t he use the minimum of features? Why are you blocking him?”
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is frowning . ]
It was angry at my words and sparks appeared around Jang Hayoung . The probability was putting pressure on me, a constellation . Myth rated attributes were truly different .
…This wouldn’t be as easy as I expected . I stepped back from Jang Hayoung .
The sparks that suddenly appeared in the air surprised Mark and the other pub customers . Once I had them evacuated, I opened my mouth again . “Are you going to keep acting like this? It isn’t good for you . Won’t you have to find a new host if he dies?”
The sparks of probability once again appeared . It was a measure of Jang Hayoung’s strong potential that he could create such a force with the power of a single skill despite not being a constellation . Thus, I needed to awaken Jang Hayoung here .
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ says: You are impudent . ]
The sparks that burst from Jang Hayoung’s body became increasingly intense . I was a bit baffled because I didn’t know the reaction would be to this extent . It happened the moment I thought a small probability storm would occur here .
[The exclusive skill ‘Fourth Wall’ is strongly activated!]
The sparks around me calmed down at once . To be exact, a larger spark seemed to have swallowed the surroundings sparks .
[The Fourth Wall greets the Unidentified Wall . ]
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is surprised . ]
I was also shocked . The ‘walls’ could converse with each other?
[The Fourth Wall greets the Unidentified Wall with pleasure . ]
Jang Hayoung’s face was turning reddish-white . He was clearly seeing this scene .
The Fourth Wall opened its mouth . 「 Fri end . 」
[The Unidentified Wall is starting to shake . ]
I didn’t know about the communication between the walls but just by saying hello, the air around Jang Hayoung started to distort into a mysterious form .
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ says: You, what are you…?]
The air around me shook faintly . The Fourth Wall was moving in a form different from usual .
I couldn’t express it well . One thing was clear . It seemed to be angry .
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is complaining about the pain!]
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is complaining about the pain!]
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is complaining about the pain!]
There were brilliant sparks as Jang Hayoung grabbed his head and screamed . How much time passed? There was a heavy feeling and the Unidentified Wall sent a message .
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ says: W-Who are you?]
***
Honestly, I had no idea why Jang Hayoung had such a wall .
Ways of Survival didn’t explain exactly what the Unidentified Wall was . I thought it would mention it in the ending but… of course, this didn’t mean it was impossible to predict the identity of this wall .
The existence of this wall was presumably related to Jang Hayoung’s job before he moved dimensions .
“This is the first time I have seen…”
Jang Hayoung was staring into the air with a very perplexed expression .
[The Unidentified Wall has recognized its master as the incarnation ‘Jang Hayoung’ . ]
It was a complicated procedure but with the help of the Fourth Wall, Jang Hayoung succeeded in being acknowledged by the Unidentified Wall . Then a new window popped up in front of Jang Hayoung for the very first time .
[Enter the modifier or name of the presence you want to send a message to . ]
Thanks to the Fourth Wall, I also saw the message . Jang Hayoung stared at me . “…W-What is this? What should I enter?”
In fact, it was because of this ability that I had to bring Jang Hayoung with me . I had to borrow the wall’s strength through Jang Hayoung so that I could have the power to fight against those fucking nebulae .
“Please enter the names I will tell you . ”
“…Yes . ”
I called out several names . They were all names of characters who had fought with fighters in the Demon World in the original novel of Ways of Survival . Then another window popped up .
[Please enter a message to send . ]
“What should I write?”
“I want to become a ‘fighter’ . Please help . ”
“…Will it work?”
“I don’t know . Just try it first . ”
Jang Hayoung sent the message . Then we waited . One minute, two minutes . Three minutes… 10 minutes .
Jang Hayoung asked, “Did I do it properly?”
“…I guess it failed . ”
The damn Star Stream had no consideration for newbies . I asked for help so earnestly but no one sent a reply . We sent a few more messages .
[I’m looking for someone who will make me a ‘fighter . ’]
[I need the skill of the ‘fighter . ’]
[Please help . ]
No matter how many times he sent the message, there was no reply . Maybe they thought it was a spam message and didn’t answer… damn .
I had no talent for writing so I didn’t know what message I should send to get a reply . It would’ve been nice of Han Sooyoung was here . She would’ve come up with a good idea .
Jang Hayoung frowned and thought about something for a while . Then he opened his mouth . “…I need to get a reply? Can I write what I want?”
“Have you thought of something?”
Jang Hayoung lightly nodded and typed his message .
[I am a 15 year old schoolgirl . ]
“Hey, wait―”
Before I could stop him, Jang Hayoung pressed the Send Message button .
[The message was sent to random constellations because no recipient was entered . ]
The message wasn’t even sent to a particular person . I shouted in a frustrated manner . “You are dealing with constellations! Do you think that would work?”
“…Just watch . ”
What the hell did this guy eat…
The next moment .
[A reply has arrived!]
We stared at each other with bemused expressions and confirmed the reply . To my surprise, the constellation who replied was someone I knew .
