Chapter 284
[Baat, baaat!]
“No . ”
[Baaat!]
“Go back . ”
The world inside the open door couldn’t be seen properly . After all, it was clearly a dangerous place . “Take care of the people . ”
Perhaps this moment had been scheduled from the moment I found traces of ‘Indescribable Distrance’ from Surya’s train fragments . Perhaps I would receive little help from Ways of Survival in the place where I was going now .
Still, I had to go . If I endured it well this one time, I could return to the party members . With them, I could reach the end of all the scenarios . I slowly moved my feet and Biyoo screamed .
[Baat, baat… . baaaat… . ! Ah, ba, at…]
I stepped through the boundaries of the door and Biyoo’s voice suddenly faded away . I looked towards Biyoo’s fuzzy face and spoke words that couldn’t be conveyed .
「 I’ll come back . 」
[The Outer World Covenant is activated!]
[You have been deported from the Star Stream . ]
[Your modifier will disappear from the “Star Stream> . ]
***
Even after Kim Dokja disappeared into the portal, Secretive Plotter stared at the portal for a long time . An elderly man with two abnormally large lumps stood beside the Secretive Plotter .
[Great plotter . He is already gone?]
[ He just left . ]
[Too bad . I wanted to see what type of person he was… well, you must like him a lot . You sacrificed three fingers for him . ]
Three fingers on Secretive Plotter’s left hand had disappeared . It was the price of the probability .
[No matter your identity, it would’ve been a burden to borrow the Viceroy’s Dimensional Gate . Why didn’t you ask us?]
[ It is a fraudulent transaction that the probability of the wenny people can’t handle . ]
The elderly man clicked his tongue .
[I can’t understand it at all . No matter the story, I wouldn’t do something like this . ]
[ You can’t understand it . ]
In the shadow of Secretive Plotter, white eyes flashed in the air . The elderly man followed the gaze . It was as if he discovered something in the air .
[That troublesome person… did you intentionally send him?]
[ There will be no harmful effect anyway . ]
The old man laughed .
[Well, it doesn’t matter . If only I can deal one blow to that damn Star Stream . But is there a chance?]
[ If he succeeds, he will be closer to the ‘result’ than anyone else . ]
[…Than anyone else? It is funny you are saying that when you have already seen the ‘result . ’]
The old man grumbled .
[Whether he succeeds or fail, it will be a loss for you anyway . ]
Secretive Plotter shook his head and replied,[ It isn’t me who will judge it . ]
***
[The ‘Fourth Wall’ is shaking violently . ]
As my consciousness flickered, a chill went down my spine .
[The Outer World Covenant is protecting your existence . ]
I felt like I was going somewhere as I had a few dreams . It was a dream about the party members .
-Dokja-ssi is always looking at the smartphone . What is Dokja-ssi’s number?
-…We can’t call him anyway so what is the point?
-Just let me know . I’ll send him a game invitation later .
A game invitation . I really hoped I would get it in the future .
-Dokja-ssi seems to laugh more often after the fall .
-By the way, Ahjussi is a bit unlucky when he smiles .
-Isn’t it worth changing his mouth shape .
-I wish Dokja-ssi could’ve been my senior .
The second hand of a clock was ticking somewhere .
-I never hated Dokja-ssi like I do today . Come back .
The beginning and end of the unknown story were pushing me . I relied on my memories like a small raft moving through a vicious current . In the endless void of the universe, only my memories were floating . Maybe this was how Biyoo… Shin Yoosung of the 41st round felt .
Not longer afterwards, a message was heard .
[The Viceroy’s Dimensional Door is closed . ]
[The Star Stream has noticed your presence . ]
By the time I came to my senses, I was crouched on the floor and vomiting . I felt the touch of the hard ground and slowly opened my eyes .
[You have entered the new scenario area!]
[The dokkaebis of the bureau have doubts about your existence . ]
The stiffened joints of my incarnation body screamed . I used Hit a Pressure Point to restore my body as quickly as possible . I didn’t know where this was but I had to be nervous from now on .
Secretive Plotter himself wasn’t in the original novel so Ways of Survival couldn’t help me with the things that happened here .
“Kuk…”
The places eaten by the Indescribable Distance were painful but I somehow recovered with a Great Return Pill . My horns and wings disappeared because the Demon King Transformation was over .
[It is impossible to use Demon King Transformation at the present time . ]
I didn’t forget to thoroughly check the equipment and placed the necessary items in a position where I could use them immediately . The first thing I checked was the personal scenario window .
[You can’t launch the sub-scenario window . ]
[The information for this scenario hasn’t been updated yet . ]
…The scenario update wasn’t applied yet .
I looked around at the wreckage of the broken buildings . The collapsed high-rise buildings and the debris of the logos between them . The characters that made up the logo were familiar . There was Hangul and also English . The languages of second-grade tribes were also found .
I stopped for a moment and read them . Slowly, an uncomfortable feeling rose from the tip of my feet . Where was this place?
[The Star Stream has recognized your modifier . ]
[Your position in the night sky will be refreshed!]
[The bureau is wary of your presence . ]
[You have been assigned a hidden scenario!]
[Hidden Scenario – World Adaptation has been acquired!]
[You have acquired a new story!]
…Don’t tell me? I started running through the streets . An unrecognizable ruined city . Even so, I was able to recognize this place . It was strange if I couldn’t recognize it . It was because my nightmares originated from this city .
The status of Yi Sunsin that only had the legs remaining and the destroyed Absolute Throne . The carcasses of beasts scattered everywhere and the remnants of giant tentacles gave off a terrible stench .
“…Seoul?”
Nevertheless, there was no time to think . I heard the sound of an explosion and hide among the ruins in my area . A loud shout was heard . People were fleeing from something . No, looking closer, it wasn’t people .
They were constellations in incarnation bodies . The considerable number of constellations were shouting in their true voices .
[Run away!]
[Dammit…!]
Their words didn’t finish . The feet of an elephant descended from the air and the incarnation bodies burst like worms . I watched the scene breathlessly . The elephant’s feet contained an irresistible ‘status’ and dragged the dead incarnation bodies somewhere .
Crazy, what the hell was this?
After the elephant disappeared, I carefully escaped through the ruins and headed cautiously towards the bodies . There were a few items to collect on the floor . I looked at the items and controlled my mind .
Stay calm . No matter how dangerous this place was, there was a chance of winning if I obtained information . If this was still a scenario area, Ways of Survival was still valid .
[The attribute effect has improved your memories of the pages already read . ]
What type of scenario was this? The incarnation bodies of the constellations were present and the fragments of the outer god were scattered…
[The 95th main scenario is in progress . ]
[The Outer World Covenant has replaced your lacking probability . ]
[You aren’t a formal participant of the scenario . ]
[The Star Stream doubts your eligibility . ]
Their hairs on my arm stood up .
…How many?
[The item ‘Arondight ‘ has been acquired . ]
I stared blankly down at the item I had collected . A constellation’s star relic was rolling around on the streets . I… skipped a few years? I wondered how the party members were doing .
[The exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ has been activated!]
. Jung Heewon . Lee Hyunsung . Shin Yoosung .
[The exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ is cancelled . ]
[You can’t connect with the current target . ]
[The ‘character’ can’t be found . ]
I tried to calm my trembling heart . I needed to be calm . Nothing was certain yet . I took deep breaths to control my mind and expressed the power of a constellation . I planned to explore the surroundings through a channel, if there was one nearby .
At this moment, a sound was heard in the area . It was the sound of a powerful strike along with the constellations’ screams . The moment I reflexively tried to hide between the buildings, I could see a black coat fluttering .
For a brief second, I felt my heart stop . Scarred muscles could be seen through the torn sleeves of the coat . I looked at the trajectory of the sword against the ground and emotions filled my heart .
He was alive, although he wasn’t exactly the same as what I remembered . His physique was a bit bigger, his impression was a bit sharper and there was a large scar on his cheek . There was no way I couldn’t know him .
“Yoo―!”
I opened my mouth but something faster than sound flew at me . I would’ve died instantly if I hadn’t invoked Bookmark and Way of the Wind . Even though I dodged, there was a big stab wound in my side . I covered the wound and looked at him with a confused expression . By the time I looked up, he was already in front of my eyes .
I was suffocated as he gripped my neck . My voice didn’t come out so I had to use my true voice .
[Hey! Yoo Jonghyuk, it’s me!]
Maybe too much time had passed . It took me longer than I thought so he might’ve forgotten about me .
[Let me go . It’s me! You already forgot…]
A terrible pain hit my belly and I felt like I was going to fall unconscious . I thought it was a terrible joke . Or perhaps he was so angry that he was acting like this . Then Yoo Jonghyuk’s cold voice was heard . “Where is Arondight? Do you have it?”
At this moment, a cool sensation grazed my neck . The moment I first met Yoo Jonghyuk on Dongho Bridge came to mind . He had similar eyes . It was the eyes of a person who didn’t know me .
“I will kill you if you don’t answer within five seconds . Oh . ”
Really, it was the eyes of a person who could kill me .
[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated . ]
[There is too much information about this person . Character List is converted to Character Summary List . ]
[A system error has occurred . ]
“Four . ”
[The information of the character can’t be summarized!]
[The information of the character can’t be summarized!]
Along with a terrible headache, a terrible amount of information started flowing in .
“Three . ”
I groaned and changed the setting of ‘Character List . ’
[The minimum number of items specified by the user is shown . ]
I saw the information rising before my eyes and was upset . I thought I knew all the endings of Ways of Survival .

However, there was only one . There was one regression where I didn’t know the end . A man who lost all his colleagues and finally saw the final chapter of the story in front of him .
“Two . ”
The monster whose emotions were worn out by countless betrayals and numerous regressions were watching me . Along with the pain that pierced deep into my chest, the words left by Secretive Plotter revolved in my ears .
[ Let’s say you reach the end of everything using your method and save the world . Then what about the other worlds? ]
[ What about all the worlds you didn’t save? ]
In the sky of the ruined Gwanghwamun, the dying stars were shining . This wasn’t the third round of the Star Stream that I changed . I changed the future and the worlds of the original novel were abandoned . Yoo Jonghyuk’s blade moved through the air .
“It looks like you aren’t going to answer . Then die . ”
It was the 1863rd regression of Ways of Survival . This world was the last round of Yoo Jonghyuk that I knew about .
