Chapter 216: Episode 41 – Real Revolutionary (2)
“...What aren’t you saying?”
Obviously, there were good constellations in this world. They were the constellations I read about in Ways of Survival. After Ways of Survival being a reality, there were so constellations that I reevaluated. Still, it didn’t change that their essence was a ‘constellation.’
I didn’t know what my expression was like but Jang Hayoung had worried eyes. “...Is sothing wrong?”
“No, nothing like that.”
“Then why are you worrying?”
I was sohow hesitant to speak and shook my head lightly. Jang Hayoung stared straight at and stated, “I would like to hear it.”
There was sothing familiar about this and I couldn’t help smiling. I closely examined Jang Hayoung’s face. A sharp nose on pure white skin. Clear and deep eyes below eyebrows that were drawn in a soft line...
A faint guilt filled my heart.
「 He is a kid who likes stories. 」
「 Because Yoo Jonghyuk is a good person, this person should taste the bitterness of reality... 」
「 Jonghyuk doesn’t listen to people. The other person should be a good listener. 」
The result of all the comnts I made was now in front of . He had eyes to see the world, a nose to breath and ears to hear the story. Perhaps it was because of guilt but I spoke my first words unknowingly. “There are people who think bad things.”
“People?”
I nodded and continued, “They are overall bad people. They bully or gossip about others and even commit so terrible things.”
Jang Hayoung listened to the story and asked , “Do you hate the people you are talking about?”
“...I thought so but I don’t know.”
I didn’t know if I was serious or not.
“So people were better than I thought and so people acted differently than what I knew.”
The countless words of Ways of Survival that I read in the past flowed through my mind.
“What is real about them? What is reality and what is fake? I don’t know very well.”
Jang Hayoung silently listened despite my vague wording. How much ti passed? Jang Hayoung thought about sothing. “It’s hard to understand what exactly is troubling you... so you want to know more about these people?”
“What?”
“They seem like bad people but there might be so good people. Well, isn’t that your expectations? No?”
Why did it sound so romantic? There was a backlash but when I thought about it, this might be the problem. Jang Hayoung nodded and said, “Every now and then, too, you have to talk. Talk to the people.”
“It would be useless to talk.”
“Why?”
“Just...”
I couldn’t explain it well. It was a helpless feeling that couldn’t be described. However, it was when a person beca most helpless that they were the most truthful.
“I think there is a huge wall.”
[The Fourth Wall is looking at you.]
“You and I are talking like this but we’re not really communicating. There is no such thing as communication in this world.”
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is looking at the Fourth Wall.]
「 Kim Dokja thought: Maybe reality or the novel is all the sa. 」
「 I’ve read it for so long and I still don’t know. 」
「 Maybe I will never know. 」
I felt like I was mistaken and that the mont I spoke these words, everything would change. This optical illusion was broken by Jang Hayoung’s words.”I might be different from others but of course, there is no such thing.”
“What?”
“Everyone has a wall and communication is impossible... that’s obvious.”
I couldn’t believe the friendly Jang Hayoung thought so. It was a bit surprising. Then Jang Hayoung continued, “However, we still have to talk. Even if there is a huge wall, there is a person behind that wall.”
“...What can we say when there is a wall?”
“Write on the wall.”
My mouth dropped openat the brazen words.
“If you shit or pee, you will leave sothing on the wall. That way, the other party will recognize it.”
“Why would you do such a thing? The other person is beyond the wall anyway...”
“Still, you should leave a mark.” Does that make sense?” “There is no apparent aning.”
“Then?”
“It is just important that you left it.”
“The other party won’t know so why?”
“At least the wall has changed.” I was speechless for a mont. Jang Hayoung spoke in a resolute voice. “Then one day, soone might read it.”
I stared at Jang Hayoung. Jang Hayoung, who was born into this world because of my greed, lived a life unrelated to . Maybe he beca a better person than I thought. I laughed with so bitterness. “I have one question.”
“...Huh?”
“Did you talk to the constellations in this way?”
“Ah, that...”
Judging by his hesitation, I must be correct. I had a bit of understanding of the minds of the constellations. They were the heaviest but at the sa ti, loneliest beings in the universe. They were writers as well as those who watched the stories. Jang Hayoung would’ve listened to them as he did to .
[The constellation ‘Nouveau Richer Snake Boss’ is looking at the cheeky incarnation!]
Jang Hayoung looked up at the air at the sa ti. Thanks to Biyoo’s interference, the Nouveau Richer Snake Boss couldn’t find my location for a while. Of course, this didn’t last long.
Jang Hayoung asked in an uneasy voice. “...Is that bastard thinking of staying here?”
“Perhaps.”
He had been embarrassed and was probably determined to ruin the channel. I thought for a mont before finally making a decision.
Jang Hayoung was right. Even if there was a wall, I had to write sothing on this wall. This was despite the fact that it might change what was originally written...
I didn’t want to be a person who only read.
“Jang Hayoung, can you contact this person?”
Once I thought about it, I had been acting as a reader the whole ti. In order to see the ending that I wanted, I had to create a new story. In fact, I had already warped reality. I just didn’t know yet who would read it.
“Who?”
I didn’t know if the constellations would comply with my suggestions. Now that I opened a channel... if that person helped, the Revolutionary scenario would end without any problems.
Then a ssage appeared in the air.
[The fifth Night has arrived.]
Sinister flute sounds were heard. I looked around the industrial complex. In the raging fire, people were screaming. My expression hardened and I spoke towards the scattered Aileen and Mark.
“Gather all the citizens.”
***
The duke was driven into a corner. It was obvious after the Fourth Night was over. The Factory’s operating power had been cut off by the kidnapped slaves. Thus, the duke couldn’t co out for the mont.
However, the duke led the nobles and erged on this Night.
「 Kim Dokja thought: What is he intending? 」
My mind was a bit complicated due to the variable of a new constellation intervening. In addition, the constellation I called hadn’t co yet.
「 It’s fine. Let’s think positively. This might be an opportunity. 」
Yes, I didn’t need to have a weak mind. I was now a constellation. I had done well so far and there wouldn’t be a problem.
“Jang Hayoung! Take care of the executioners! Absolutely don’t get involved with the other nobles!”
“I know!”
I ran through the streets using Way of the Wind and reached the place where the biggest fire was burning. How long had I been running? I soon saw a demon standing on the spire of a broken building.
“Are you the revolutionary?”
It was a long-haired demon engulfed in red flas. My face was tingling from the heat that erged from his whole body. It was a stinging heat wave. I looked at the yellow flas and knew what this power was. There was only one person who used this type of story in the 73rd Demon Realm.
“Marquis Omboros.”
He was the most powerful noble in the 73rd Demon Realm after the dukes. He was soone I would’ve hesitated to bump into before I beca a constellation. However, Omboros’ expression was weird.
“I am Ombros, not Omboros.”
Ah, I got his na wrong. I might be Kim Dokja but even I couldn’t morize the na of extras. Omboros kept muttering like his pride was hurt. “You aren’t fleeing despite knowing . I thought you were soone with good knowledge but you’re just soone with good luck.”
“You would be the lucky one if I ran away. Omboros.”
“I told you it is Ombros!”
Instead of answering, I raised the magic power in my body. Last ti, I had fought using the status of a constellation. This ti, the opponent was great and it wouldn’t work against Omboros. Thus, this was an all-out battle.
[The 5th bookmark, Kyrgios Rodgraim is selected!]
[The exclusive skill ‘Miniaturization Lv. 3’ is activated!]
[The exclusive skill ‘Electrification’ Lv. 11 ( 1) has been activated.]
A yellow heat wave burst out from Omboros’ fist. It was the ergence of Brilliant Explosion, a skill of his story. He had the most impressive explosion stigma in the 73rd Demon Realm. The power was strong but it wasn’t difficult to avoid. The explosion range was large so it was considered a long-range attack.
“You rat...!”
[The constellation ‘Nail-Eating Rat’ hates the words of Demon Ombros.]
Omboros felt it was difficult to deal with the smaller with a simple explosion and he changed his operation. The heat from his hands rapidly contracted and changed into a small ball.
“Die!”
The condensed heat was more intense around his hands. He thought he would push in strength after reducing the range...
It was a good plan but he t the wrong opponent. I wasn’t an ordinary incarnation. I watched the fierce incoming explosion and stretched out my fist without hesitation. The centre of the explosion was deeply pierced by the blow containing my magic power.
My ears montarily buzzed and the fragnts caught in the explosion scattered in the air. The flas in the area were swept away and went out. Only a blue-white lightning was scattered everywhere. I heard a sound and my vision blinked white.
[The constellation ‘Nouveau Richer Snake Boss’ is astonished at your strength.]
Omboros couldn’t be seen in the place that the blue-white lightning swept through. Maybe he flew away or he might’ve died.
“Oh my god...”
The industrial complex was brutally destroyed. So of the citizens confird my strength and were kneeling. At this point, I didn’t know how I was in a fight. If I returned to the scenario properly, could I win one on one with a few constellations?
[Your incarnation body can’t handle the level of force used.]
[A significant portion of your incarnation body has been damaged!]
...Damn, it was starting again. Still, it was fine. It would be over before my body was in tatters.
“Waaaaahhhhh!”
Were they inspired by this situation? The citizens in the surrounding area started shouting.
“Revolutionary! Revolutionary!”
[New constellations have entered the #BI-90594 channel.]
The number of constellations kept increasing. It was a different feeling from Bihyung’s channel. Well, maybe because I thought of this as ‘my channel.’ I went to the forefront of the battlefield and cut at the approaching nobles.
“Waaaaahhhhh!”
The duke himself brought about his end by coming out without the Factory. The wave of angry citizens gradually pushed the nobles.
How long had it been? Finally, we arrived at the gate of the Factory.
“The revolution is around the corner! Just a bit more...!” Soone cried out.
However, the next mont, an earthquake occurred from deep in the ground. The confused citizens scread and sat on the ground. Sothing seed to stand up in front of . A huge building, which had been sleeping like an old beast, was raising its body. There was an engine sound reminiscent of a steam engine. Soot filled the night sky and loud sounds tore at the eardrums.
My heart suddenly sank.
...The Factory was operating? How?
Nevertheless, I couldn’t afford to think about it. A giant fist struck my defenseless self. A few buildings were smashed and the steel fras shattered. I montarily lost consciousness before coming back.
[Your incarnation body is seriously damaged!]
[Enter the main scenario now to prevent the breakdown of your stories!]
Blood poured from my body and the stories making up my body were shaken. Damn, my mind was in such a complicated state that I was caught off guard. Making such a mistake...
Nevertheless, I couldn’t understand no matter how hard I thought. How was the Factory operating?
[The constellation ‘Nouveau Richer Snake Boss’ is pleased at the sight.]
[The constellation ‘Nail-Eating Rat’ is enjoying your trials.]
[A few constellations hope that you will suffer more pain.]
Dammit. I opened the channel but none of these guys were on my side. The mont I gritted my teeth and raised my body, a familiar na was heard.
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is holding his hair while closely scrutinizing you.]
