Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 354

Chapter 354: 354
At this moment, Bihyung was watching the screen of Duet Between Good and Evil at the bureau .

[The stage of the 2nd Constellation and Demon War will be the 'Reincarnation Island' located in the Dark Fault . ]

The moment the great dokkaebi's declaration was heard, all the dokkaebis of the bureau were in an uproar .

"No, why the island all of a sudden?"

"Why are the great dokkaebis thinking?"

Even the great dokkaebis couldn't set the stage for the 80th main scenario . If the will of the Star Stream didn't move . . .

[The Star Stream is willing to open the 80th main scenario . ]

[A new main scenario has been created . ]

Bihyung was surprised by the system message . "Did the Star Stream really move?"

The series of shocking scenario changes made Bihyung stunned .

"Bihyung! A revelation was just received!"

" . . . A revelation?"

After a while, a new panel was prepared . The screen hadn't surfaced yet but Bihyung knew what it was .

" . . . The plate of revelation . "

An unknown slab that only the constellations and demon kings who had acquired the power of 'revelation' could see . The material was unknown and even the space and coordinates weren't clearly known . The bureau could only observe the strange object .

Each nebula had a different name for this 'plate . ' Divine revelation, a single word, the old devil's whisper . . .

It was an unidentified object that spoiled the information of the future, forcing the bureau to pay attention to it .

The method that the constellations of the Star Stream used to read the future was simple . Sometimes there was a hole in the plate of revelation and a series of story fragments would be released from the hole . The fragments that spilled out had information about the future . The constellation and demon kings recognized it, combined words and used this to predict the future or read their fortunes .

The stigma called 'Revelation' was made . It was actually just reconstructing these words .

Bihyung asked, "Is there another turn in the plate of revelation?"

"Yes, it has been a problem since it started shaking a few years ago . "

The original version of the revelation released future information but it didn't have a significant impact on the bureau's scenario probability . The future reconstructed through the revelations were uncertain and unclear .

However, there had been a 'crack' in this plate since a few years ago . Through that crack, whole information of the future came through .

"A strange hole occurred a few days ago . . . "

The hole that occurred a few days ago caused a problem in the probability that couldn't be overlooked even by the Star Stream . Information that shouldn't have been passed on crossed through that broken hole without damage .

Bihyung still had a headache when he thought about the work at that time . Strange strings had emerged through the hole for a while .


『 Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World . 』

The name seemed like the title of a book and the constellations of the Star Stream fell into chaos .

-What is Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World . txt

-Does 'ruin' mean the ■■ of every scenario?

The constellations who neglected the scenarios and remained relaxed started to act like their feet were on fire after this revelation was released . The rumours about the apocalypse spread and there were rumours about the end of the Star Stream .

"The screen is ready!"

Bihyung watched the black-white screen nervously . A few words that emerged through the hole caused the entire Star Stream to shake . What type of revelation would occur this time?

After a while, the screen of the revelation appeared . Then there was a very small hole in the centre of the plate .

"There is no change . . . eh?"

The next moment, the dokkaebis were astonished by the whitish object that appeared inside the hole . It was someone's mouth .

-Ah, ah . . . so, um . . . microphone test?

The dokkaebi cried out, "What is this . . . ?"

The bureau was in chaos as the mouth kept on talking .

-Can you hear me? I'm going to give you a revelation now . I'll only show you for a second so look and remember!

Along with the clear and cheerful voice, there was the sound of pages turning . After a while, fragments of a story passed through the hole .

「 How to survive in a ruined world, the third way . 」

The revelation appeared clearly . It was truly like a divine revelation .

「 That method is on Reincarnation Island . 」

The story fragments scattered in the air and the voice said .

-Have you seen it? Then goodbye!

The hole closed and the voice disappeared .

Bihyung muttered, "Oh my god . "

None of the shocked dokkaebis of the bureau could open their mouths . Bells were ringing from all over . The unstoppable inquiries of the constellations were pouring in .

The Duet Between Good and Evil was still playing on the panel on the other side .

[I will say it once again . ]

The voice of Great Dokkaebi Baram rang out .

[The stage of the 2nd Constellation and Demon War will be the 'Reincarnation Island' located in the Dark Fault . ]

***

After the Duet Between Good and Evil, our group immediately returned to Earth . All the way back to the industrial complex, the party members were excited . In particular, Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye were checking the performance of the plaques we received .

[Grand Prize of Duet Between Good and Evil] .



In the Star Stream, the 'status' generally rose only through the accumulation of stories . However, there were extremely rare star relics that raised the status without needing the accumulation of stories . This was the case with the plaques awarded at the Duet Between Good and Evil .

"My sword seems lighter . . . is this enough to be able to swing Hyunsung ahjussi lightly?" Lee Jihye's
murmur caused Lee Hyunsung to tremble .

Certainly, the plaque was more effective than getting two quasi-myth grade stories . Given that all the quasi-myth grade stories I acquired were those I gained after suffering and dying, it was a tremendous boost .

[5,000,000 coins Exchange Ticket]

In addition, they received five million coins as prize money .

"Ha, Dokja-ssi . . . we're rich now . . . "

"I won't have to worry about coins for a while . "

"Kids, how much did you get?"

Jung Heewon was busy asking questions to the children who received the Best Chemistry Award .

"Shin Yoosung, honestly, I was a bit more active . Give me another 100,000 coins . "

"What nonsense is this? It will naturally be split in half . It is the same with the story shares . "

Lee Hyunsung stopped the children . The party members seemed to be in good spirits for their own reasons, but on the other hand, they were also glancing at me .

「 In fact, there is a question that everyone hasn't asked . 」

Why did Yoo Jonghyuk and I fight? The party members had seen the scene with their own eyes but no one asked me about it . Maybe they were instinctively avoiding the topic . Perhaps it was their own consideration as they waited for me to speak first .

I was still listening to Yoo Sangah in my head while I carried the unconscious Yoo Jonghyuk on my back .

' . . . You mean, you leaked the contents of Ways of Survival through the hole in the Fourth Wall?'

「 (Yes . ) 」

'The constellations accepted it as a revelation?'

「 (That's right . ) 」

I didn't understand at first . The information sent out of the Fourth Wall became a 'revelation' to the constellations? In the first place, the role of the 'revelation' in the original novel . . . no, wait .

'Don't tell me?'

There were many things in my head .

Yoo Sangah asked, 「 (Dokja-ssi, have you noticed the Fourth Wall might be the original words?) 」

"Yes . I don't know the exact sense but . . . '

「 (Originally, the Fourth Wall is a stage term . A wall separating the play from the wall . The characters in the play would never be able to recognize the Fourth Wall . It is because they don't exist outside the stage . ) 」

Outside the stage . It was the 'reality' I lived in .

Goosebumps formed on my arms . Indeed, if the name 'Fourth Wall' had its origins in the same meaning as Yoo Sangah's description, it was natural there would be a Ways of Survival inside this wall . It was because the contents of Ways of Survival were created in reality .

In other words, the revelation was a 'spoiler' that flowed from the novel to reality . One couldn't find the source so it became a divine revelation in the eyes of the characters .



Yoo Sangah continued speaking,

「 (I always thought it was strange . The filtered information about Ways of Survival was suddenly released . . . however, that time coincided with when I entered the Fourth Wall . ) 」

'Coincides?'

「 (Yes, the book blocking the hole I entered through was Ways of Survival . The title could be seen very well . . . ) 」

Now I understood everything . The reason why the constellations and demon kings suddenly knew about Ways of Survival . It was why the development that wasn't in the original novel suddenly unfolded . The information they knew had all leaked through the hole in the Fourth Wall .

'It is a bit complicated but this is a good thing . '

「 (Right?) 」

Yoo Sangah replied with a laugh . She was probably thinking the same thing as me .

「 (By the way, I can't use it very often . I noticed a lot of looks . . . oh, I'm sorry . I have to go for a minute because the seniors are calling . ) 」

Then Yoo Sangah's voice disappeared from my head . She was the youngest member of the library but she had a lot of sense .

In any case, thanks to Yoo Sangah's performance, we got a new card to use . The Fourth Wall allowed me to manipulate the revelations that the constellations received . Until it was revealed to be a false revelation, I could use the information to incite the constellations .

Han Sooyoung walked beside me and opened her mouth . "You haven't spoken in a while?"

"I was just thinking to myself for a while . "

"You must have a lot of thoughts . "

Han Sooyoung bit her lips and used Midday Tryst while talking .

-What are you going to do now?

-What else? I have to prepare for the next scenario . The Constellation and Demon War is the 80th scenario and it will start in a month .

-Apart from that .

Han Sooyoung had a complicated look in her eyes . She was watching Yoo Jonghyuk being carried on my back .

-Do you know what happens when Yoo Jonghyuk will wake up?

Yoo Jonghyuk was aware of the identity of Ways of Survival . I didn't know what he knew but I couldn't keep hiding information from him . He might be shocked and receive a terrible wound but . . . nevertheless . . .

Han Sooyoung told me .

-For reference . I am against it .

-What?

-The thing you're about to say .

Han Sooyoung acted like she knew my thoughts . She sighed lightly and looked at the ground .
-With your personality, it is strange that you have been hiding it so far .

Han Sooyoung seemed to misunderstand me . If I could've hidden it better, I would've hidden as much as I could . If possible, until the end of the story .



Han Sooyoung shook her head .

-You can hide it as much as possible . Just pretend you don't know . Pretend to be a prophet, as you have done so far .

-Do you think they will believe it? I have to talk now . It isn't just Yoo Jonghyuk but the other party members as well .

Han Sooyoung's eyes grew bigger at my words .

-What nonsense is this? Why are you going to tell them?

-They deserve to know .

-I tried it before . However, the characters can't know anything about Ways of Survival . They think it is just a joke .

-It might be different now . The filtering is released .

Han Sooyoung opened her mouth before closing it again . Instead of pressing me, she searched the faces of the people who didn't know anything . A faint contempt towards me could be seen in Han Sooyoung's eyes .

-Is it for you or is it for them?

- . . .

-You have already deceived these people . Now you are going to ask for forgiveness?

-I don't mean to be forgiven .

Like Han Sooyoung, I also studied their faces .

The strong but delicate Jung Heewon . The sincere and unsophisticated Lee Hyunsung . The tough but sweet Lee Jihye . The adult but pure Shin Yoosung .

I looked at their faces and recalled the 'descriptions' I knew . Some of them weren't 'described' and others had different faces from the 'descriptions . ' They were faces I knew but didn't know .

Shin Yoosung suddenly looked back and waved towards me . I spoke while waving back at the child .

- . . . I want to be real companions .

Han Sooyoung was silent for a long time before quietly turning around and disappearing into the Factory . In the distance, a message from her came back like an echo .

-Didn't I say it clearly? I oppose it .

Not long after, we arrived at the Factory and each of us took a rest to recover . That evenng, I summoned all the members of Kim Dokja's Company apart from the unconscious Yoo Jonghyuk .
I had Biyoo block the channel and placed a thick barrier to prevent other constellations from listening .

After some preparations, I looked back at the party members . "I have something to say to you . "

I opened my mouth but couldn't speak easily . Perhaps she thought I was playing a joke but Lee Jihye trembled . "Ahjussi, what is wrong with you all of a sudden? You are scary . "

I tried to smile at Lee Jihye .

I had been troubled for a long time . I had been certain that this moment would come .

Lee Hyunsung and Shin Yoosung were looking at me with worry . I saw the people who were worried about my first, even in this situation, and bit my lips . "Some of you . "

The eyes of the group shook . I saw Han Sooyoung turn away . Then I spoke like I was pulling the trigger . "You are characters of a story . "
