Chapter 341: 341
All types of thoughts passed through my head .

[The 'Fourth Wall' is shaking violently . ]

There were two doors and someone seemed to be whispering to me . I could go inside one of them . However, if I chose one then I had to give up the other one . I couldn't do that .

"Demon King of Salvation . "

" . . . Yes . "

"If you delay then you can't save either of them . " There was no sense of reality in Aileen's voice .

"Please wait a moment . "

In my dizzy vision, the corridor across from the two hospital rooms was seen . The words of the Mass Production Maker crossed my mind .

-It's nothing . It is just a blocked road .

The end of the corridor was dim so I couldn't see anything . Yet everyone knew that there was nothing at the end of that corridor . In the first place, the corridor was made to have nothing .

「 Kim Dokja thought: It isn't possible . 」

Stay calm . There must be a way . I had come all this way and now I had to choose between the two people? Who should live and who should die? I couldn't do that .

[The Fourth Wall is looking at you . ]

「 But you ha ve al ready cho sen . 」

At the moment, the scene of the first scenario filled my head . The shaky subway . The appearance of those who died . Maybe I could've saved everyone there .

「 Th us, you can ch oose this ti me too . 」

. . . It was different now .

「 Wh at is diffe rent? 」

Rather than replying to the Fourth Wall, I asked Aileen, "How much time is left?"

"Around 20 minutes . . . Lee Sookyung-ssi's side is more critical . After that . . . "

20 minutes . It was short but there was enough time to try this and that . It was too early to give up .

"If there is more star fluid, can you save both of them?"

" . . . There isn't a lot of possibility . "

I immediately pulled out the Old to New Toad . The toad cried out,

-Give me an old house and I'll give you a new house .

I pointed to the half-filled bottle of Nectar and asked,

"Can you change this to something new?"

Then the Old to New Toad shook its head .

-It isn't old or new .

"This was half-eaten by me . Thus, it is old . I'll give you other items if you fill up a new bottle . . . "

-The change . . . I can't help you .

As expected, such a trick wasn't possible with the star fluid . I had thought it might be possible .

-Tired, don't call me .

Perhaps it was tired from swallowing the giant soldier earlier but the Old to New Toad fell asleep .
I put it away and decided to try a second method . If I couldn't duplicate it, I had to get a new one .

[The demon king 'Demon King of Salvation' . . . ]

[The use of the indirect message is cancelled . ]

[The indirect messaging function is currently disabled due to checking and repairing certain scenarios . ]

. . . What?

[The scenario being checked is the 60th scenario . ]


It was an unexpected situation I hadn't thought of . I didn't think the aftermath of the 60th scenario would reach this far . . .

I needed the help of other constellations to get new star fluids .

"Jang Hayoung!"

At my cry, Aileen's gaze moved to another place . The place where Jang Hayoung was located was Yoo Sangah's hospital room . The moment I stood on the threshold of the hospital room where the emergency light was on, a cold sensation went down my back .

"You can't enter without permission!" Someone yelled at me .

The fragments of the story scattered from Yoo Sangah hovered in the air . I tried to ignore it and turned to Jang Hayoung . Jang Hayoung was sleeping in a corner of the hospital room . "Jang Hayoung! Wake up! Quickly!"

"Wait a minute! He is also in critical condition!"

The medical staff rushed over and pulled me away . Jang Hayoung had a large number of story packs inserted in him and bandages were wrapped around his body . He was seriously wounded in the Returnees War . However, I needed Jang Hayoung's skill .

[The Unidentified Wall is looking at you . ]

[The Fourth Wall is facing the Unidentified Wall . ]

Sparks bounced as I felt the gaze of the wall . It was a coldness with no sense of cooperation at all .

. . . It was going to be like this? I opened Bookmark . In the end, the Unidentified Wall was also a skill . I still didn't have a good understanding of Jang Hayoung and needed some luck but . . .

I started looking for Jang Hayoung's name in the list of Bookmarks . Perhaps it felt uncomfortable due to my actions? The Unidentified Wall warned,

[The 'Unidentified Wall' says: You are not my master . Don't do anything unnecessary . ]

"I need your help . " I told it honestly . It was urgent . "If you don't help me, you have to wake up your master . "

The wall was silent for a moment . It was a silence that showed it was thinking about something . A moment later, a message from the wall came back .

[The 'Unidentified Wall' says: . . . I'll help you . ]

At the same time, a small partition of space was created around me . It was a space reminiscent of a Mino Soft intern a long time ago . A large panel was created in front of me and there was a familiar type of input device .

Perhaps Jang Hayoung had listened to the stories of countless constellations in this small wall . Jang Hayoung listened to stories that were written on this wall like graffiti and . . .

[The Unidentified Wall says: Do a good job . ']

. . . I had nothing to say . I looked down at the sleeping Jang Hayoung for a moment before turning my head .

First of all, it was important to turn off the emergency light .



[The 'Unidentified Wall' has temporarily granted you a license . ]

[Enter the destination to send a message to . ]

The first constellation was Dionysus .

[The message can't be sent to the constellation . ]

[At present, all communications with the nebula Olympus is paralyzed . ]

I ran into a snag from the beginning . I quickly changed the receiver of the message . Then a reply immediately came back .

-You need more Soma? I'm sorry but . . . I gave all the Soma I had to you .

The reply was from Surya . The situation here also wasn't easy .

-Is it difficult to request more from the nebula?

-I withdrew from Vedas and lost the Soma production rights .

-Is Dionysus beside you?

After a few moments, there was an answer from Surya .

-Recently, Olympus is suffering from the famine story and the supply of Nectar is cut off . There is no more left to give you .

-I understand . Thank you .

-I'm sorry I couldn't help .

-No .

It was impossible to ask for anything further when I already received Surya's help in Gigantomachia .
I thought about various types of star fluids that appeared in Ways of Survival through my head . However, none that could replace Nectar and Soma were available right away .

I desperately bit my lips . If treatment wasn't possible then I had to find another way .

[Sending a message to constellation 'Queen of the Darkest Spring . ']

Since Persephone and Hades weren't members of Olympus, it was possible to communicate with them through the Unidentified Wall . I didn't want to use this method but it wasn't time to cover up cold water with warm water .

Nevertheless, the answer that came back from Persephone wasn't very positive .

-Son, as you might know, a presence broken through the flow of consciousness is . . All souls of this world go to the Underworld but that is a case when the soul is intact .

- . . . As expected, it is like this .

I actually expected it a bit . The flow of consciousness was a phenomenon where the stories of the soul were broken .

A soul suffering from this disease wouldn't go to the Underworld . To be exact, it didn't go anywhere . It just ended there . Just as everyone who walked on the wrong road disappeared forever .

Persephone continued speaking .

-Son .

-It is a situation where the succession isn't properly established yet . Don't call me that right now .

I responded quickly before disconnecting . I opened the smartphone and then the file of Ways of Survival . There was still a method . There had to be .

[The Unidentified Wall says: You have done too many things that went against probability . ]



. . . Shut up .

[The Unidentified Wall says: That probability was bound to come back to you . ] It is a law of this world . ]

"I told you to shut up . "

I quickly read Ways of Survival . I found several times when Yoo Jonghyuk met similar challenges in Ways of Survival . For example, the 161st and 275th rounds .

In those rounds, Yoo Jonghyuk was in a situation where he could only save one of his two colleagues . When told he could only save Lee Seolhwa or Lee Jihye, Yoo Jonghyuk had replied:

「 "I will save both . " 」

The same was true for the 275th round . Lee Hyunsung and Shin Yoosung . In a situation where only one of them could be saved, Yoo Jonghyuk declared,

「 "I will save both of them . " 」

This was Yoo Jonghyuk's answer . Thus, Yoo Jonghyuk of the 161st and 275th round failed . He couldn't save Lee Seolhwa, Lee Jihye, Lee Hyunsung or Shin Yoosung . Then he died himself . Yet every time, Yoo Jonghyuk made the same choice and I would choose the same .

My right hand holding the phone trembled nervously and I gripped it tightly .

「 Bu t Kim Dok ja isn't Yoo Jong hyuk . 」

Yoo Jonghyuk was able to make such a choice because he was a regressor . A regressor different from me . An existence who could repeat life many times .

On the other hand, I only had this one life . Therefore, this life didn't allow me to make any mistakes .
If I made a mistake, someone would die . Thus, I couldn't make any mistakes .

I had come all this way while taking the risk of twisting probability . Up to this point, I thought I had done well .

Briareus had told me .

-The real fate is inevitable . If you avoid it, probability must be distorted . The twisting of probability had to be resolved by someone .

I knew . I knew it very well . Just, I was dissatisfied . Why?

「 . . . ja-ssi . 」

Why . . why should they be the ones to resolve it?

「 Dokja-ssi . 」

One drop, two drops . The voice that touched me was like a drop of water through hard granite .
I looked behind me .

「 Dokja-ssi, I'm fine . 」

Through the curtains of the hospital room where Yoo Sangah lay, the fragments of the broken story flowed out and spoke to me .

「 Save Sookyung-ssi . 」

No voice came from my half-open mouth . Yet she replied like she heard my words .

「 I have a way to survive . I have already found a way through Hermes' system . 」

[The exclusive skill 'Lie Detection Lv . 7' is activated!]

[You have confirmed that the statement is false . ]

"Yoo Sang . . . "



「 Dokja-ssi . 」

It wasn't meant to call out to me . Yoo Sangah's voice was unbelievably firm . One day, I remembered a time when I teamed up with Yoo Sangah .

Even then, Yoo Sangah was the same . Every time she insisted on something she thought was right, she would never bend herself . Yoo Sangah would speak in this calm but strong tone . It was like appeasing a panicked little child .

「 Dokja-ssi, listen carefully to me . Please be calm and rational . 」

Why? Yoo Sangah's words were familiar .

「 I still have some time remaining . However, Sookyung-ssi wouldn't be able to recover unless she is saved now . 」

Why did I feel like I was sitting in a subway seat and why did it feel like this trembling hand wasn't mine?

「 It is like a game quest . A quest that can be cleared properly if we follow the set route . 」

" . . . Yoo Sangah-ssi . "

「 Dokja-ssi, it is time to carry out the quest properly now . 」

I understood Yoo Sangah's words . Perhaps I could understand better than anyone in the world . However, I couldn't understand the Yoo Sangah speaking right now . Perhaps I would never understand in this lifetime . Or I should say that I didn't dare understand it .

[The 'Fourth Wall' has increased its thickness . ]

Like the Yoo Sangah who stood up on the subway, I stood up and declared, "Aileen . "

Aileen noticed my intentions and nodded . The medical staff standing next to Yoo Sangah rushed to the other side of the room . I also slowly turned to the opposite side of the room . The moment I went beyond the threshold, I couldn't help looking back .

「 Don't worry . I'll be waiting here . 」

Beyond the curtain, Yoo Sangah's silhouette had already scattered a lot . Maybe, beyond that would be a Yoo Sangah I already didn't know . She might be torn and scattered apart, something that was no longer recognizable . I might be hearing the voice of Yoo Sangah, who was already disappearing .

Nevertheless .

"Yoo Sangah-ssi . I don't know if you remember but I screened people's lives in the first scenario . "
I continued speaking towards the Yoo Sangah I remembered . "I only let people I thought should survive, live . I thought I should've done it in order to see the end of this world .

「 . . . Dokja-ssi . 」

"However, if this is the one way I can see the ending of this story, I would rather not see the ending . "

In order to revive someone, another person had to die .

"If there is a choice over lives, it is a bad story in the first place . "

At my answer, the Mass Production Maker might say this: It is a road that isn't a road .

[The Fourth Wall is looking at you . ]

Nevertheless, this wasn't a choice . There was only one way from the beginning .

[The constellation 'Demon King of Salvation' is looking at the Fourth Wall . ]

I wasn't Yoo Jonghyuk . Yet when it came to this issue, my answer was the same as that guy .

"I'll smash that story . So that Yoo Sangah-ssi won't die . My mother too . "

There was a dead-end wall covered in darkness in front of my eyes . It was a hard and thick wall that I couldn't smash . I slowly reached out for that wall .
