Chapter 250

The ground and the sky rattled like cogs . Something gigantic was descending from the sky and there was a person blocking it . The magic power and giant story caused a burst of brilliant sparks as they collided .

[There are 40 seconds until the start of the destruction scenario . ]

The opponent was an outer god . Little by little, the ceiling of the sky was coming closer . The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint didn’t back down despite the pressure weighing down on the entire castle . No, she couldn’t back down . She never backed down from her beliefs . This was the banner of a transcendent who only walked a single story .

“Fight it!”

The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint revived the despairing Murim people .

[Many constellations are interested in the development of this scenario . ]

[Some constellation are paying attention to the transcendent ‘Namgung Minyoung . ]

The stars were gathering in the night sky . Like piranhas smelling blood, the constellations illuminated the sky with a red light . The dokkaebis also appeared like they had been waiting .

[Constellations, it is time for the destruction to come!]

Some of the constellations were watching the world’s demise with a somber expression while others were watching with excitement . Every person’s feelings were different but the downfall of one world was nothing more than entertainment for them .

…Just like me . At this moment, many emotions muddled my head . Maybe these emotions had been piled up since the Gourmet Association . If I threw away Murim here, would I be any different from them?

“Breaking the Sky Sword Saint! I…!”

I pulled up my status and a change occurred in the constellations .

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is looking forward to your choice . ]

[Many constellations are paying attention to your presence!]

The attention moved from the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint to me .

[ Yo u…? ]

If I caught the eye of the outer god, I wouldn’t be able to escape this place . The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint knew this and stopped me . “This isn’t your battlefield . ”

It was as if this page wasn’t allowed for me .

“Leave this world to the people here . ”

I didn’t know what Murim was for the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint . It was a place that worshipped her a god while also bringing her down . Nevertheless, at this moment, the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint decided to defend Murim .

[The stories of the 29th scenario area, the First Murim is piling up . ]

Then Murim responded to the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint .

[The 29th scenario area has found its guardian . ]

[The First Murim is looking at ‘Breaking the Sky Sword Saint Namgung Minyoung . ’]

[The possibility of a giant ‘story’ is germinating . ]

The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint blinked with surprise . Perhaps it was the first time she had heard this message . If someone wanted to destroy the world, the world would respond to the destruction .

「 In this world, everything that has built up history has a will . 」

It was a land that was made of the blood, flesh, sweat and effort of the Murim people . The stories carved onto the land were flocking to the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint . Grandeur could be felt from the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint as Murim nestled in her body .

The possibility of a giant story . It hadn’t blossomed yet and I didn’t know when it would be germinated…

Still, it as the possibility of a giant story .

[ Ka ka ka ka ka ka ka . ]

A bizarre sound that resembled laughter poured from the sky . Finally, five tentacles descended from the sky .

No matter how great the possibility of a giant story, it was impossible to stop the outer god with just the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint . The outer gods were beings who had lived a long time and faced such giant stories . She knew no more time could be wasted and the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint shouted, “Go now!”

Then my body was pushed into the car .

[The portal is activated . ]

Yoo Jonghyuk belatedly regained his mind and tried to get out of the car, but the X-grade Ferrarigini had already started .

It only took one moment . As we passed through the portal, the Breaking the Sky Master was silent . The scenery of Murim slowly moved away and everything was covered in darkness . The survivors never said anything for a long time .

***

[You have arrived in the 73rd Demon Realm . ]

[There are three days remaining until the Demon King Selection . ]

Maybe it was because too many things happened in a row . The party had no words after returning . The car turned off and only a stillness remained .

“I’ll smoke a cigarette for a while . ”

Han Myungoh left while Jang Hayoung placed his head against his knees . The Breaking the Sky Master whined while Yoo Jonghyuk… damn . I breathed calmly while thinking about what I gained from this journey .

Everything I had done was for the upcoming Demon King Selection . I went to Murim to recruit the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint as a colleague and went to the Gourmet Association in the process .

I couldn’t bring the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint back with me . I couldn’t persuade the constellations of the Gourmet Association . The only income was that Yoo Jonghyuk and Jang Hayoung became stronger, there was a transcendent dog and…

[Coins Possessed: 4,890,875 C]

…

[The second revision update has been completed . ]

Despite the message, I didn’t dare to look at my smartphone . Nevertheless, I had to look, even if I felt disgusted by the contents I would see .

“Kim Dokja . ”

I looked up and saw Yoo Jonghyuk staring at me . I couldn’t bear to read the anger in his heart . I had nothing to say even if Yoo Jonghyuk tried to kill me here .

“What do we do now?” It was a voice that contained no special feelings . I felt a subtle fear and triggered Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint . Then I immediately regretted it .

「… 」

「… 」

「… 」

My chest was stuffy from the suffocating emotions . They were emotions that couldn’t be described in words . The sorrow was too deep that it couldn’t become language .

Yoo Jonghyuk was already a madman . Maybe he had been like this for a long time . This event would wear him down even more . The emotions that didn’t burst would move onto the next turn and it would lead to his death . It would wear at him and isolate him .

The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint of the third round would be forgotten . I opened my trembling lips . I needed to say something .

The Breaking the Sky Sword Saint was surely alive . She would come back alive . However, I couldn’t say it . I wasn’t tls123 .

“We have to try . ” That was all I could say . “Struggle, fight and turn things upside down . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk stared at me quietly before leaving the car . I could see it without asking . Maybe he was going to do his own preparations .

This was Yoo Jonghyuk . He didn’t give up on his goal even if he gave up his life . Despite the mighty despair, he challenged it again and again, overcoming that despair . Thus, he lived and would live like that .

Eventually, he would become unhappy . Once Yoo Jonghyuk, only one sentence that I read from his heart was left with me .

「 I’m not like you . 」

I brooded over this sentence as I turned on my smartphone . I knew what Yoo Jonghyuk was talking about .

-Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World (2nd Revision) . txt

The death of the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint would be recorded . The success of this round would be written down . Maybe the changed ‘ending’ would be written .

[The ‘Fourth Wall’ is shaking faintly . ]

My trembling fingers touched the screen several times . Yoo Jonghyuk’s words once again emerged .

「 I’m not like you . 」

I didn’t know what that bastard knew about me . I had watched Yoo Jonghyuk for over 10 years while Yoo Jonghyuk hadn’t even known me for a year . That jerk, what did he know about me…?

I turned off the screen . It didn’t matter what was written . In any case, the story I wanted to create wouldn’t be in it .

“Jang Hayoung . I want to save Murim . ”

Jang Hayoung wiped his eyes while raising his head . I stared at him and slowly opened my mouth . I didn’t know if this would work or not . Still, it was better than doing nothing .

***

There were various beings in the detention centre of the Executive Branch . It was mainly filled with imprisoned constellations and transcendents caught by the ‘probability conformity assessment . ’

However, it was rare for a member of the Executive Branch to come directly, even if probability was

violated . Those who used too much probability would be hit by a storm and it was easy to avoid attention .

Even so, the Executive Branch had to step in for this man’s situation . The dokkaebi ‘Youngki’ sighed as he gazed at the map trapped in the probability net .

“Look here . ”

Then the little person looked at Youngki . Youngki gazed at the handsome face and said, “You should now return to your original scenario area . Isn’t your home in danger?”

“…”

“Thanks to you, your planetary system is unable to proceed with the scenario . ”

The small man laughed . “Once I leave, you will send the ‘disaster’ to Peace Land again . ”

“Didn’t I already say that won’t happen?”

“I don’t believe in your words . ”

Youngki flinched and stepped back at the growling voice . This was why transcendents were tricky . The constellations could quickly understand once spoken to but the transcendents were stubborn mortal and sometimes made absurd messes like this .

The man continued to speak . “There is someone I’m waiting for . I’ll stay here until he returns to my home . ”

“Waiting for? Who is it?”

“I’ll leave on my own once he comes . ”

Youngki was about to open his mouth again when the prison door opened and a new prisoner appeared .

[Grrr… fucking dokkaebis!]

The prison shook from the fierce true voice . Youngki and the small man turned towards the voice at the same time .

At the entrance, a constellation who had been bounded by the Executive Branch dokkaebis was walking in . It was a constellation with the appearance of a lizard .

[That bastard scammed me! He was the one who stole my coins . Why did you grab me instead of him?]

“If you can’t find a way to repay your debt, we will be forced to take away a story . ”

Youngki had a rough idea of the situation . Sometimes these things happened . The constellation came here because he couldn’t repay the ridiculous loan interest .

Youngki was clicking his tongue while the constellation continued yelling . The dokkaebis were familiar with such turmoil but one person wasn’t .

“Shut up . ”

The Brash Swamp Predator turned at the cold voice .

[Who are you? Little man…!]

At this moment, a tremendous airflow swirled around the ‘little man . ’ His body seemed to rise in the air and blue lightning wrapped around his body .

[What… kuk…?]

The Brash Swamp Predator let out a confused sound . The power of a mortal pressed down on his ‘status . ’ It was something he had never experienced before .

The ‘net’ of the prison let out a pained scream . A strength beyond the probability assigned to this place was rising from the small man . The shocked Youngki and the other dokkaebis increased the output of the net but the situation didn’t change .

The man’s body became smaller and he ‘popped’ through the net . The huge storm shot towards the Brash Swamp Predator . The whole building shook and dust rose .

[Uh… uhh…]

The Brash Swamp Predator lay on the floor . Five dokkaebis had bravely rushed forward and barely managed to deflect the trajectory of the blue-white fist . The terrible traces left by the fist remained on the wall . Rather than blaming the master of the fist, the dokkaebis quickly delivered a report .

“Congratulations Brash Swamp Predator . You are free . ”

[Huh? What?]

“I just received an order to release you . Someone has paid your debt . ”

[What? Who…?]

The Brash Swamp Predator forget what just happened at the news . The moment the dokkaebi mentioned a name, Kyrgios’ body stopped while the Brash Swamp Predator wondered,

[…That guy paid my debt?]

At this moment, the blue-white lightning of Electrification shot towards the dokkaebi . Kyrgios picked up the dokkaebi by the collar and asked, “What did you say just now?”

“N-No, what…?”

“The name you just said . Where is he now?”

Before the dokkaebi could answer, a message flew into Kyrgios’ ears . Kyrgios stared blankly at the air for a moment before walking past the dokkaebis towards the entrance .

Youngki urgently exclaimed . “Wait a minute! I can’t let you go! If you go back to your home planet—”

“I won’t go home . ” The Paradox Baekchung, Kyrgios Rodgraim spoke with a smile filled with anger . “I will go to my disciple . ”
