Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint - Chapter 221

Chapter 221

A sleeper car was rolling around . The citizens of the council, including Aileen, were busy moving me somewhere . I could feel the fragments of my stories constantly entering, like patient in critical condition .

Putting aside the urgent situation, my mind was gradually becoming calm . I decided to sort out the situation .

[Currently, you have the inheritance rights to the Gilobat Industrial Complex . ]

How did I become a revolutionary and gain the inheritance rights of the Gilobat Industrial Complex?

The answer was simple .

「 ‘Kim Dokja’ killed the ruler of the Gilobat Industrial Complex . 」

At first glance, it seemed like a circular argument but this wasn’t the case . It was because ‘Kim Dokja’ wasn’t my body . In other words, it was easy for someone to impersonate me, build up a reputation there and finally kill the ruler .

[The Star Stream is correcting the scenario error . ]

[A new story related to you is scheduled . ]

What crazy person could do such a thing? There obviously couldn’t be two such crazy guys .

「 Kim Dokja thought: Yoo Jonghyuk is now in the Gilobat Industrial Complex . 」

At first, I purely felt gratitude . Ah! Yoo Jonghyuk was a decent person! That jerk hit the industrial complex to save me! I felt thrilled for a while without thinking much .

Then once I thought about it, I couldn’t believe it . That Yoo Jonghyuk entered the Gilobat Industrial Complex to save me? In the first place, it was strange that Yoo Jonghyuk knew about my crisis . How could a guy who wasn’t a constellation or have access to a channel know about my crisis?

Thus, Yoo Jonghyuk was likely to do the opposite of coming to my rescue . He noticed that I impersonated him and came to the Demon World to pick me up . In the meantime, something went wrong and he headed to the Gilobat Industrial Complex first where he went through an unnecessary dispute and overturned the industrial complex . I couldn’t even fathom how much rage it felt to do that .

“You’re being healed . Don’t shake your body . ” Aileen, who was working on my story in the treatment room, pushed up her glasses and scolded me .

I replied in a dispirited manner . “I’m sorry, it is instinct . How is my state?”

“Don’t talk nonsense in your current physical condition . ” Aileen sighed but her expression didn’t look bad . “I can only see it as a miracle . You are slowly recovering . The damage to your stories is so big it will be hard to move around but… I think you will be fine .

Maybe it was because I entered the main scenario again but my sense of breathing had changed .

Those who didn’t know what it felt like to be an exile and return to the scenario wouldn’t understand .

「 Kim Dokja thought: This is the ‘story . ’ 」

It felt like a cozy and huge world was embracing me . Funnily enough, it felt like I was now living properly . It was frightening to think about who designed these ‘senses . ’

“Kuek…”

“Don’t move!”

Aileen’s sharp voice was heard along with the strong pangs .

[Your current story configuration is incomplete . ]

I had entered the scenario and was in the recovery phase but things were still serious . It was a miracle that I survived long enough to kill Duke Syswitz . It was a reckless battle . It was uncharacteristic of me and I didn’t know why I acted like that .

[Some constellations are asking about you . ]

Moreover, I summoned the story weapon so my future stories would become very complicated . I opened the message log that I had been putting off .

[Many constellations in the channel are greatly impressed by your performance!]

[3,000 coins have been sponsored . ]

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is nodding at your confidence . ]

[4,000 coins have been sponsored . ]

There was some sponsorship . Somehow I wasn’t impressed .

[The 20th main scenario has ended . ]

[The main scenario ‘ Demon World Revolution’ has been cleared . ]

[The excessive main scenario skip is delaying the compensation . ]

[The collection of stories due to clearing the main scenario is pending . ]

There were some problems but the scenario messages came up correctly .

[Some constellations are wondering about your identity . ]

[Some constellations would like to invite you to their nebula!]

[Someone is eyeing your story!]

The familiar shenanigans had also begun . It was understandable why they were running around like this .

「 The story weapon Pluto . 」

Even the narrative-grade constellations coveted the giant soldier . The giant soldier was a rare weapon that could only be seen in the huge stories of Gigantomachia . It was a weapon that could trample on the legendary story, the Factory like it was a toy . There was no way the constellations wouldn’t covet such a weapon .

By the way, ‘he’ hadn’t come yet…

[The constellation ‘Father of the Rich Night’ is watching you . ]

…He came, shit .

[The constellation ‘Father of the Rich Night’ is watching you . ]

Father of the Rich Night . Fortunately, he didn’t take any action apart from looking at me . It was normal for him to be angry because I used his story weapon… No, Hades looking at me might be a terrible thing in itself . He was the king of the Underworld .

[The exclusive skill ‘Fourth Wall’ is strongly activated!]

[The Fourth Wall is laughing . ]

Dammit, I disliked this mean fellow .

Of course, I was narrative-grade and could touch Hades’ toes but the problem was my current condition . The bandages wrapped around my body represented my present situation .

The incarnation body was the phenotype of my status . The phenotype was ruined so the status of the constellation inevitably shrunk . It was the first time I had been injured like this…

It was hard to lift one arm but the smartphone in my hand was comforting . I was grinning and Aileen frowned as she bandaged me . “…I told you not to look at that for too long . ”

“My mother always said this . ”

“You need to maintain absolute stability . ”

“For me, looking at this is absolutely stable . ”

I deliberately didn’t explain . It would probably be filtered even if explained .

“What about the Syswitz Industrial Complex? No, now we should call it the Yoo Jonghyuk Industrial Complex . ”

“It’s fine . ”

The duke died and the industrial complex was on its way to stability . There was a lot of talk about the removal slaves and the treatment of the nobles who were prisoners but Aileen was doing well .

Aileen looked at me for a moment and asked, “In fact, you aren’t Yoo Jonghyuk?”

It was a question I had anticipated and I nodded . “That’s right, I’m not him . ”

“However, the owner of this industrial complex is now Yoo Jonghyuk . ”

Certainly, it was true . In fact, there was a mention in my messages .

[The current owner of the industrial complex is Duke Yoo Jonghyuk . ]

Duke Yoo Jonghyuk… That jerk should be thanking me . I glanced at Aileen and told her, “The duke will soon come . ”

Aileen’s expression filled with a strange tension . “…Yoo Jonghyuk is a demon?”

“He isn’t a demon although sometimes he feels like a demon . ” I was worried about how to explain and finally decided to say, “In this round, Yoo Jonghyuk is a good guy . ”

Aileen didn’t understand what I meant . I shook my head . “I have a favour to ask . Can you call Jang Hayoung and Han Myungoh to me? I have something to say to them . ”

“…I understand . ”

I had passed one crisis but it was literally only ‘one . ’ The ‘Revolutionary’ scenario was over but the following scenarios were incomparably larger in scale .

[some demon kings are interested in your actions . ]

If I wasn’t cautious, I would be eaten . Thus, from now on, I had to prepare step by step . As soon as Aileen disappeared, I opened the file on the panel screen without hesitation .

-Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World (1st Revision) . txt

It was the long-awaited Ways of Survival . My heart was already beating quickly . What did first revision mean? In addition, why did the writer give this to me?

However, the file didn’t immediately appear . It might be due to the smart made by Aileen . The performance was enough to make me miss my old smartphone . The file barely opened after a considerable amount of time passed .

“…The phone isn’t slow . It is the file that is too big . ”

Indeed, this was around the time it would take to load on an unoptimized PC . I felt a bit sick at the huge amount of text .

Damn, how did I read this?

In order to see where the story was modified, I had to read it again from the beginning and compare it to my memories . I started reading the first ten pages .

…There didn’t seem to be much change? It started with the subway and Yoo Jonghyuk’s actions…

This was a revision so why was this jerk still like this? Then a sentence that didn’t exist in the original Ways of Survival appeared for the first time .

「 Yoo Jonghyuk thought, ‘If it was him, I wouldn’t have thought of this . ’ 」

I stopped as I felt cold .

「 ‘If he had been here, I would’ve judged things a bit differently…’ 」

I subconsciously scrolled back to the first page . The performance of the smartphone caused the text to be mixed up but I couldn’t afford to worry about it . An eerie feeling filled my heart . I was missing something .

…The first scene was the same? No . It was a completely different beginning . I scrolled to the first page of the first chapter of Ways of Survival and stared with a stunned expression .

“…It isn’t the third regression . ”

The first revision of Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World . I read the first sentence of the novel again .

「 Thus, Yoo Jonghyuk’s fourth life began . 」

The first revision started from Yoo Jonghyuk’s fourth regression .

「 Yoo Jonghyuk had a thought . 」

「 In this round, that guy doesn’t exist . 」
