Chapter 426
Only I know the end of the Journey to the West?
Where have I heard of that introduction before?
I decided to enter and confirm the situation of this chamber first .
['Player 8' -nim has entered the 6731st Fable chamber's waiting area . ]
Thankfully, it seemed that their Fable hadn't started yet . But then again, they shouldn't be able to start without the role for Sun Wukong filled up, so there was that, too .
After I entered the chamber, the surroundings changed and a large round desk suddenly materialised .
Square chat windows were floating above the desk's chairs, rather than actual people . They signified the participants playing the other roles .
[Player 1 has currently selected the role of 'Zhu Bajie' . ]
[Player 2 has currently selected the role of 'Sha Wujing' . ]
[Player 6 has currently selected the role of 'Tang Sanzang's White Horse' . ]
The faces of the players were all obscured by question marks . It seemed that this was done in order to protect the personal information of the actual players .
Okay, but never mind that for now . . . . There were so many players here, yet no one had selected the role of 'Sun Wukong' yet?
- Player 8: Hello, everyone .
Maybe they had all logged off or something, because no one bothered to write a message in the chat room even after I made an appearance . But then . . . .
- Scenario Master: ㅎㅇ?
- Scenario Master: Which role you wanna?
I quickly inputted my reply in the chatroom in the middle .
- Player 8: Is the role for Sun Wukong still vacant?
- Scenario Master: ㅇ vacant .
- Player 8: That's so strange .
- Scenario Master: Had someone we want, but got delayed . . . Wanna do Sun Wukong?
This guy, he seems to have a habit of not typing proper sentences .
Just as I was getting worried about if it'd be okay to have someone like this guy as the scenario's master, a message popped up with a suspiciously good timing as if its sender had read my mind .
- Scenario Master: me know that genre inside out . No worries 'bout scenario 'qual' .
Yup, it was just so hard to trust anyone with that type of grammar . Still, I decided to test a couple of things out anyway .
- Player 8: I'd like ask you about the chamber's title . That [I've become the retired SSSSS-grade Sun Wukong] .
- Scenario Master: ㅇ me responsible .
- Player 8: Why are there five 'S' letters?
- Scenario Master: need that many to attract aggro .
… . Hmm, maybe he does know something after all?
It got on my nerves a bit that he didn't bother to use any polite speech, though .
I continued on with my questioning .
- Player 8: Sun Wukong really is the protagonist, yes?
- Scenario Master: ㅇㅇ yup
- Player 8: Wouldn't the audience feel fed up with leaving the original work's MC as is? I thought it was a trend for the side characters or extras to become protagonist lately .
I thought I had accurately picked on his weak spot, but the master's response was surprisingly calm .
- Scenario Master: Oh, looks like you did some market research .
- Player 8: It was a mere simple browse-through .
- Scenario Master: True about nim's words regarding extra-turned-hero stories doing good business . But, Sun Wukong has to be MC if we wanna be numero uno . Think from POV of a judge .
- Player 8: Hmm . . . .
- Scenario Master: important bit not who's MC and whatnot, but how much 'unfamiliar character' he is . And too many extra-turned-hero stories out there .
… . Would you look at this guy?
At a glance, he might seem to be yapping on whatever came up into his mind, but well, what he said just now was not wrong .
More often than not, the ones to take the top spot at times like this would be stories featuring the traditional heroes .
For instance, Fei Hu's [The Real Journey to the West] featured Sun Wukong as its main protagonist .
- Player 8: Is that why you went with 'retired Sun Wukong'?
- Scenario Master: ㅇㅇ
- Player 8: What will the retired Sun Wukong be doing?
- Scenario Master: nothing .
- Player 8:??
- Scenario Master: ah, it's a spoiler so no talking . So, you in or not?
I was in a dilemma .
- Scenario Master: If you're not, hurry and leave . We don't have much time . No answer in next 5 sec, and I eject you .
I was kind of curious about how would a retired Sun Wukong work as a protagonist, too . . . .
[The 4th Fable chamber list will close in five minutes!]
I'd be cutting it too fine if I were to search for another chamber now .
Dammit, I don't have a choice here .
Regardless of what kind of scenario it was, as long as I do my best, it'd be fine, right?
- Player 8: I'm in .
- Scenario Master: Hmm . Then my turn to ask questions .
- Player 8: Regarding?
[Scenario Master wishes to confirm your details . ]
[Please select the information you wish to reveal . ]
He wants to view my information?
- Player 8: Is it really necessary?
- Scenario Master: Just wanna know your name .
… . My name, was it?
I decided to reveal some of my info .
[Player 8-nim is a 'Constellation' . ]
[Player 8-nim's Modifier is the 'Watcher of Light and Darkness' . ]
[The applicable information is made available only to the 'Scenario Master' . ]
The Scenario Master didn't respond for a while .
Heh, he must've been shocked by what he saw .
- Scenario Master: Ehng? You were a Constellation-nim? But, why here in a low-rent chamber?
I replied quickly .
- Player 8: I may come across that way, but I know how to fight a bit . I dearly wish to become the retired Sun Wukong!
- Scenario Master: Something smells fishy, tho?
- Player 8: The real fun is in raising an unpopular Fable from ground-up, wouldn't you agree?
- Scenario Master: BTW, what's up with the dumpling?
… . Dumpling?
[You're currently accompanied by your pet 'Murim dumpling' . ]
Dammit, I forgot that this guy was here with me .
- Scenario Master: But, we ain't got no roles for pets, tho?
- Player 8: It's just a dumpling . It's not even strictly a pet per se .
- Scenario Master: Hmm, it's a bit awkward, innit . Your opinions, pls?
Surprisingly enough, the Scenario Master actually went and asked for the opinions of other players .
[Player 1-nim says that 'It's fine if it's a Murim dumpling' . ]
[Player 4-nim says that 'Master should do whatever takes their fancy' . ]
[Player 3-nim says that 'I want to play this game right now' . ]
Thankfully, other players didn't object .
-Scenario Master: ㅇㅋ we doing it so might as well ask for Murim-type ppl
- Player 8: Thank you .
- Scenario Master: ㄱㄱ
A short while later, the countdown began .
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 . . . .
[Fable chamber, 'I've become the retired SSSSS-grade Sun Wukong' has begun its storytelling!]
[This Fable chamber's plot will follow the one set out by the Scenario Master . ]
[The main plotline of the Fable Chamber can be interfered with by the judges or the audience . ]
['The Journey to the West Remake' will commence!]
Bright light dyed my vision ash-grey next .
⸨I've become the retired SSSSS-grade Sun Wukong⸩
Letters appeared in a stylish manner from the darkness .
And so, I had become this story's main character, 'Sun Wukong', and would participate in this play from now on . Honestly speaking, my heart was palpitating just a bit .
To think, I'd really become the protagonist of an actual story . . . .
