Chapter 51

Episode 11 – Night of the Prophets (3)

I was in a deep sleep .  It was a long-awaited good night’s sleep .

[The effect of the deep sleep has completely restored mental power . ]

[Some of your exclusive skills have been updated . ]

I checked my clock and saw that it was already 4 p . m .

Once Dongmyo Station and the surroundings areas were occupied last night, the accumulated fatigue settled firmly on me .

[Currently Occupied: Chungmuro (Main Base), Myeongdong, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, Dongdaemun, Dongmyo, Sindang Station, Cheonggu Station, Yaksu Station, Sinseol-dong Station ]

Thanks to eating the Dongmyo Group, I now had nine stations .  Now I just needed one more and the King’s Road scenario would be over .

Just a bit more and I could achieve one of the key goals of the beginning scenarios, King of No Killing .

Once I came out, Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung were waiting for me .

“We are ready . When will we go?”

“Please wait a moment . ”

I looked towards the men who were heading towards me .

“Did you sleep well?”

Last night, I decided to have all members of Dongmyo join my group .  The two men in front of me was the result of that decision .

Jung Minseob bowed to me and opened his mouth .

“…Please keep me alive . ”

“Me too, me too . Sob!”

Originally I planned to kill Lee Sungkook and Jung Minseob, but I changed my mind . These two were useful until I completely wiped out the prophets .

I put them in the Chungmuro Group and evolved the colour of the flag to ‘brown . ’

From the brown flag, it became possible to restrict the actions of the group members .

[You have exercised the right of the representative . ]

[Group members Lee Sungkook and Jung Minseob have restrictions on their behaviour . ]

Lee Sungkook and Jung Minseob’s expression changed at the emerging system messages .

“One, from now on, you can’t tell others about my identity . ”

“Yes, yep!”

“Two, you must unconditionally submit to my commands and you aren’t allowed to act individually without my permission . ”

“…Of course . ”

[Group members Lee Sungkook and Jung Minseob are willing to accept their limitations . ]

[This restriction is a ‘life’ restriction . ]

[If they break the restrictions, group members Lee Sungkook and Jung Minseob will die . ]

I nodded and said .

“Well… okay . I don’t know when my heart will change, but everyone work hard . I will decide while watching you . ”

The two of them gulped and made hilarious faces .  I didn’t know what they were thinking .  In any case, they wouldn’t have been able to stick to Yoo Jonghyuk so it was better to stick to me .

“By the way, Representative-nim . What should we call you in the future…?”

“Call me like you are now . But call me Yoo Jonghyuk in front of the other prophets . Ah, Jung Minseob . ”

“Yep . ”

“Give me the Fugitive’s Mask . ”

Jung Minseob was upset but eventually gave it to me .  Anyway, I had to pretend to be Yoo Jonghyuk if I wanted to go to the Night of the Prophets . This ‘mask’ would be a preventive measure for a situation I didn’t know .

After a moment, the muscles on my face moved in a bizarre manner as my appearance started changing .  It felt a bit weird but I soon got used to it .

“Huh, this is the real appearance of Yoo Jonghyuk . ”

“Very handsome… The revelation wasn’t wrong . ”

These bastards…

I wanted to snap out but I closed my mouth .  I didn’t need to be angry over something like this .

That reminded me, it would be better to know the details of these guys just in case .

“Jung Minseob, what is your attribute…”

At this moment, a system message flashed in my head .

[The history of this person has been updated . ]

…What?

I tried to use Character List once again as a test .

[Character Information]

Name: Jung Minseob

Age: 25 years old .

Constellation Support: Cursed Gladiator

Private Attribute: Light Projection (Rare), 1089th Person to Get Off (General)

Exclusive Skills: Sword Training Lv . 2, Powerful Blow Lv . 2, Berserk Lv . 3, Memory Enhancement Lv . 5]…

Stigma: Repay Grudges Lv . 1

Overall Stats: Physique Lv . 18, Strength Lv . 16, Agility Lv . 12, Magic Power Lv . 10 .

Overall Evaluation: An incarnation that possesses good comprehensive skills and attributes . His sponsor is a bit lacking but his ability as a warrior is considerable . He would’ve been one of the 12 apostles if he had been a bit more patient . He is very regretful .

…What did it mean that the Character List was updated?

A person I wasn’t able to see the attributes window of yesterday suddenly became a character .

He was a prophet . In other words, a character outside the novel .  Why did he suddenly change into a character?

“Oh, my attribute is…”

“No need . ”

“Yes . ”

I also confirmed the attributes of Lee Sungkook .

Fortunately, his attributes were the same . Hypnotist and 9th Person to Get Off… The latter was garbage but the former was a pretty good attribute .

“Give me your smartphone . ”

“Yep! Here it is . ”

I received a smartphone from one of them and connected to the chat room .

Ah… the Internet didn’t work . Yesterday it was disconnected…

[The character ‘Han Donghoon’ used ‘Wide-area Internet Lv . 5’ on your smartphone . ]

[The device’s Internet is now available . ]

As soon as I thought it, the Internet was connected .  I glanced towards the tent where Han Donghoon was located .  There was a vibration from the smartphone, indicating that a message had arrived .

–I’m going to believe in you just once .

Maybe something changed with Han Donghoon after what happened last night .  I had been really worried about it so I was glad .

I sent a reply to Han Donghoon .

–Thank you .

Sooner or later, I would have a chance to talk to him .  I once again opened Lee Sungkook’s smartphone to the Prophets chat room .

[Chat Room]

[List of participants: No . 9, 15 I feel like Dying, 124 Let’s Drop Off, No . 763, 887 Get Off, No . 645… a total of 36 people . ]

I looked at the numbers in their names and got a sense of who they were .  But something was strange .

“…36 people?”

Jung Minseob answered my question .

“All the prophets in the room stopped reading early . There are no apostles . ”



I see .

“By the way, Representative-nim . Didn’t you say it yesterday? ‘You should’ve read to the end’… then do you know all of the Book of Revelation?”

I looked at the expectant Jung Minseob and laughed .

I knew . Do you know?

“You won’t regret taking my line instead of Yoo Jonghyuk’s . ”

***

After a while, we headed to Anguk Station while avoiding the surrounding conflict areas .

It was because the Night of the Prophets was scheduled to be held .

I spied on these guys through Lee Sungkook’s smartphone .

—–

No . 519:  Really? Yoo Jonghyuk is coming this evening?

No . 67:  There is no doubt .  No . 9 and No . 1089 said it yesterday .

887 Get Off: The 9th is a newcomer but I can believe it if it is the 1089th…

124 Let’s Drop Off:  This time they will all be behind us .

887 Get Off: No . 124, you are in Seoul ㅋㅋ How can those jerks fall behind you?

124 Let’s Drop Off:  Ah, except for me of course .  Local residents, victory ^ ^ v

887 Get Off: I would like to be a regressor… If I had read the novel at that time… No, if I had only read up to 50… I’m jealous of those apostles scum…

15 I feel like Dying: But don’t you think the people who read over 50 chapters are abnormal?? I don’t know how they read to over 50 . ㅋㅋㅋ


124 Let’s Drop Off:  Real psychos ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

—–

As expected, humans who hid behind anonymity would reveal the truth .  Perhaps the number before the nickname was where they stopped reading .

—–

No . 888: But are you sure there is no txt version of this novel?

No . 124: A few days ago, I searched the Internet and there was really nothing left… Ahh… A novel without a txt… (tears)

No . 763: Even if you had a copy, you wouldn’t share such a fraudulent thing .  If I could really sell my soul, I would buy it .

—–

The idea of trying to read Ways of Survival popped up .  These guys, they should’ve read it with me at that time . Now they didn’t know the days ahead .

We’ve arrived . ”

I was about to say, “What, already?” when I saw the platform of Anguk Station in front of me . The prophets who arrived in advance could also be seen .

But something was strange .

“Nobody has occupied this place?”

“Yes, it is a promise between the prophets . It could be dangerous to meet at an occupied station . It is sort of like the DMZ . ”

Then a prophet approached and waved .

“Hey, No . 1089!”

“Oh, it is No . 763 hyung . ”

Jung Minseob waved and welcomed the person .

“How have you been? You face doesn’t look good?”

“Well spotted . The Tyrant Kill is giving me hell . ”

“I told you not to advance towards the Dobong side . Why didn’t you listen…”

No . 763 glanced towards me and his face suddenly stiffened .

“P-Perhaps… he is…?”

Jung Minseob nodded .



No . 763’s eyes showed astonishment .

“I-It is really an honour . Yoo Jonghyuk-nim!”

The uproar caused the scattered prophets to gather one by one .

“Is that…?”

The prophets ran together and pushed in front of me .  There were also a few female prophets .

“He looks better than I imagined! I am No . 998!”

“It is great to meet you, Yoo Jonghyuk-nim! I’m No . 1055!”

This… I felt like a real king .  Their shining eyes wanted to win my favour somehow .  I wondered what they would all look like when they realized I wasn’t really Yoo Jonghyuk .

Most of them weren’t worth paying attention to .  Their knowledge of the future was dim and their abilities were poor .

Yet there were some prominent people .

“It was very impressive when you fought against Demon King Asmodeus in the second regression . ”

Hoh?

“It was mentioned briefly in the Book of Revelations… now that I’ve met Yoo Jonghyuk-nim, I feel like hearing about it from you . ”

Ways of Survival started with Yoo Jonghyuk’s ‘third’ regression and all the stories from the second regression were treated as recollections .

Yet this guy knew about Asmodeus? Why was he so impressed when he didn’t read until the end?

“Who are you?”

“I am No . 1168 . ”

Then he almost read to the 50th chapter .  Perhaps he was the one who read the most out of those present .

No . 1168 asked me, “Excuse me, is it Yoo Jonghyuk-nim’s third turn right now?”

“That’s right . ”

“Ah, as expected…”

Some prophets had dark expressions .

Yes, I knew .

Ways of Survival was an infinite loop so those who discovered that it was early on in Yoo Jonghyuk’s regressions would be quite disappointed .

These jerks, they only got the cute side of Yoo Jonghyuk in the beginning… in any case, those who didn’t read until the end weren’t satisfied .

Then there was a disturbance behind me .

“Lee Hyunsung-nim!”

“Steel Sword Lee Hyunsung?”

Lee Hyunsung blushed as he was surrounded by people .

“W-What are you doing? I’m not the Steel… I’m not that!”

“Wow, just like a real revelation . Look at those biceps!”

“Ohhh! So taut!”

Lee Hyunsung had a good-looking face and was quite popular among the female prophets . At that time, one passing prophet showed interest in Jung Heewon .

“Excuse, perhaps… are you Maritime Admiral Lee Jihye?”

“No . ”

“Then are you…”

“I am Jung Heewon . Why?”

“Ah, I see . ”

The disappointed prophet moved past Jung Heewon towards Lee Hyunsung .  Jung Heewon looked at the situation and spoke to me in Group Chat .

–Why… isn’t anyone interested in me?

–Heewon-ssi isn’t famous in the future .

–Che .



–So do well from now on .

I turned away from the miserable Jung Heewon .  I came to the Night of the Prophets for a reason .  I couldn’t waste time talking like this .

“Where is the weapon?”

“Huh?”

“The weapon you have hidden . I will check it first . ”

“Ah, here it is . ”

The 763th prophet excitedly moved to the centre of the platform and removed the cloth covering something . There was a big stone present .

I remembered the moment I saw the meteor shower on the roof of the theatre .  No, wait a minute .

“Is that a meteorite?”

“Haha, that’s right . At this point, Yoo Jonghyuk-nim might not know… according to the Book of Revelation, it contained a powerful weapon . ”

“A weapon?”

“Yes! That’s correct . Maybe it is a weapon like a top ranking star relic . ”

“Doesn’t the meteorite need hatching time and can’t be used now?”

“Haha, we have a rotation that will provide magic power . It will hatch tonight at the latest . We have been working on it for a few days…”

I became colder as I looked at this proud bastard .

A red pattern .  It was nonsense .  This thing shouldn’t be known until at least the fourth regression?

“Which bastard gave you the information?”

“Huh?”

“That person who brought the meteorite to you . ”

“Oh, that… No . 1124, he was the first one…”

No . 1124? A person who stopped reading early on knew this information?

“Where is he?”

Jung Minseob looked around the place and muttered .

“Uh… I guess he hasn’t come yet . ”

The informant didn’t come .  I thought for a moment before opening my mouth .

“We have to get out of here . ”

It was a trap .

“Huh?”

“Right now . ”

This was the first time I got a cold sweat since Ways of Survival became a reality and since meeting Yoo Jonghyuk the first time .

This was a weapon? Who was stupid enough to think like this…

I glanced around at the prophets staring at me with naive eyes .  Then the platform started vibrating .

Kukukung…!

I looked at the trembling ‘meteorite’ and stepped back .  I had come here to sweep away the prophets, only to be the one swept away .

“W-What is this?”

Jung Minseob made a stupid noise .

Dammit . The fourth scenario hadn’t even ended and the ‘disaster’ of the fifth scenario was about to appear .

I shouted toward Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung .

“Run away!”

This was why I couldn’t trust those who didn’t read to the end .  Due to these damn people who got off early, today became all wrong .
