Chapter 285

The most imaginative thing I’ve ever read was Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World .

-What if Ways of Survival became a reality?

Perhaps anyone would’ve imagined such a thing with their favourite novel . I did as well . Maybe it was due to the endless imaginations in my youth that I was able to adapt to Ways of Survival . Once the scenario started, I would do this first and then do this . This hidden piece would be obtained…

During middle school, I even drew charts in the corner of my textbook .

-Yoo Jonghyuk: A professional gamer, an awful personality, a psychopath, kills if words don’t work (sometimes just kills), have to unconditionally bring him to my side, humanity still remains in the third round…

I had been glad when I first realized I had fallen into the third round of Ways of Survival .

I came to a world I could change and thought it was really fortunate . If I had fallen into the last round…

「 Kim Dok ja thou ght . 」

There was no existence that could stop him .

「 Sh―it . 」

I shouted with all my straight as I saw the blade flying towards me .

[Wait! Stop! I said stop!]

A person who regressed more than a thousand times . A spirit that had become insensitive from the hundreds of suicides and tragedies that an individual could suffer . The extremely widespread regression depression…

「 Yoo Jonghyuk of the 1863rd round is the despair of the world itself . 」

I acted the moment the blade was about to pass through my neck .

[The special skill ‘Miniaturization Lv . 10’ is activated!]

My body shrank in an instant and the blade passed through the air . The man’s startled eyes were seen from over the blade . This damn guy . Did he think I came here to die? This might be the 1863rd round but he was mistaken if he thought I would obediently die .

[The exclusive skill ‘Bookmark’ is activated!]

[The exclusive skill ‘Electrification’ Lv . 12 (+2) has been activated . ]

I knew I wasn’t his opponent . However, I still had to try my best . My body moved at lightning speed as I yelled, “Son of a bitch! You have to let me talk to you!”

The indirect messages poured from the air along with my cry .

[Some constellations have noticed your presence!]

[The constellation ‘Adventurer who Stands Up an Egg’ is interested in your appearance . ]

[The constellations ‘King of Ephemera’ is interested in the fight between you and ‘Iron Blood Supreme King’ . ]

[Some constellations feel strong jealousy towards you . ]

[1,000 coins have been sponsored . ]

The 95th scenario of the 1863rd regression . The world might be like this but there were still constellations giving donations . The nature of the sponsorship was a bit different but…

Yoo Jonghyuk glared at me with a stiff expression . “The Baekchung School? Strange . I’m sure he is out of action in this round…”

This person’s brain circuits had become twisted after over 1,000 regressions . He would’ve finished judging whether to kill or spare me based on the actions I had shown so far . It was scary .

[The exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ has been activated!]

It was because I was afraid that I had to read it now . Thus, I could get out of this situation .

[You have an insufficient understanding of the person and can’t activate the second stage!]

[The exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ stage 1 has been activated!]

…I lacked understanding . My pride was a bit hurt but I thought it would be like this . This was Yoo Jonghyuk of the 1863rd round, not the Yoo Jonghyuk I knew . It might just be the first stage but I had to invoke it . I might not be able to read the details but even knowing the attack direction would help .

「 Neck . 」

The moment that Yoo Jonghyuk’s thought was transmitted, I withdrew with all my might .

Even this guy wouldn’t be able to easily catch me . It was because I was now using Way of the Wind and Electrification .

“…Keok?”

I didn’t know if I had turned my body first or the dark shadow had moved ahead of me first . My breath was blocked and my vision darkened . It was a feast of magic power that seemed to hurt my whole body . I flew through the air like an electrocuted fish . A tremendous amount of magic power shook my body .

[Some constellations are laughing at you . ]

It was the face of Yoo Jonghyuk that was seen in front of me . His hands were crushing my torso . My neck hurt like it was broken as it was held between thumb and index finger .

I couldn’t believe it . This might be the Yoo Jonghyuk of the last regression but how could he catch me so easily when I used Electrification?

“I will ask you a final time . ”

I realized the moment I heard his cold and apathetic voice . It was stupid to think I could avoid it by knowing the direction in advance . The person in front of me wasn’t the young Yoo Jonghyuk of the third round .

“Where is the dragon sword, Arondight?”

…How could I speak when he was holding my neck?

“I see Lancelot’s incarnation body here so you must surely know…”

Ah, the constellation who just died was Lancelot? Shit .

“If you don’t answer, I will it out of you . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes shone with a golden light . As a matter of fact, Yoo Jonghyuk’s foundations remained unchanged, whether it was the third or 1863rd regression .

[The character ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ has used Sage’s Eyes Lv . ???!]

After over one thousand regressions, his Sage’s Eyes had reached a formidable level . Perhaps the presence that wasn’t visible now in Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes was the outer god that had lived for a long time .

[The exclusive skill Fourth Wall has blocked Sage’s Eyes!]

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

The moment Yoo Jonghyuk’s Sage’s Eyes focused on my body, the wall moved . The Fourth Wall stood firmly in front of the persistent gaze that didn’t want to miss a single piece of information . There were stronger sparks than when I had encountered the Unidentified Wall .

「 No t bad . 」

This time, the Fourth Wall looked formidable . At this point, I couldn’t tell if the Fourth Wall or Yoo Jonghyuk was the great one . The Fourth Wall didn’t back down and Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t give up . It was me who was fried between them . It was so painful that I couldn’t scream, even with my true voice .

“Kuek…?”

Yoo Jonghyuk raised his power first . The collision was so strong that golden circles swirled in his eyes .

[The character ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is feeling a competitive spirit . ]

[The character ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is showing great hostility towards you!]

This was a barrier that couldn’t be penetrated even with Sage’s Eyes . Once again, I realized what a great skill Fourth Wall was .

Then something strange happened . The Fourth Wall was able to prevent Sage’s Eyes and started to flow like water over Yoo Jonghyuk’s hand . The typed letters covered his body like insects and for the first time, Yoo Jonghyuk sounded disconcerted . “What?”

The wriggling letters became memories that flowed like a panorama . They were my memories of the third round that were recorded on the Fourth Wall .

「 “Get your hand off me and get lost, you damn jerk!” 」

「 “Maybe not . In any case, I am hopeful about the situation . ”

“…What is so hopeful about it?”

“Jonghyuk, we can save the world . Don’t you know?” 」

「 The name of our nebula is… Kim Dokja’s Company…”

“There isn’t a name yet . In addition, we will gain the supporters now . ” 」

Yoo Jonghyuk couldn’t comprehend the memories in front of him . They were all things that didn’t exist in this round . The sparks that almost blinded me eased and Yoo Jonghyuk’s expression became clearer .

“What are you…?”

The ‘1843rd round’ made an astonished expression . I heard the voice of the Fourth Wall in my head, as if it thought this round was interesting .

「 I did we ll Kim Dok ja . 」

Did it do well?

“Tell me . What is this? I’ll tear you apart if you don’t say it . ”

What did it do well? Shit .

[Kuek… no, wait! I need some time to answer!]

I exploded the blue-white energy as I was held in Yoo Jonghyuk’s hands . I was struggling to escape from him . This might not be enough but I would at least buy some time until I could borrow the power of the ‘giant story…’

Then something unexpected happened . There was an explosion and Yoo Jonghyuk missed me . There was a surprised and confused expression . Yoo Jonghyuk reached out with sluggish movements . I wanted to know what happened but I couldn’t miss the opportunity I had just gained .

[The exclusive skill ‘Way of the Wind Lv . 11 (+1) is activated!]

Way of the Wind was activated and the blue-white energy made a trail through the air . I thought he would chase after me quickly but I didn’t feel Yoo Jonghyuk right away . I looked back and saw an unexpected sight .

…What was this?

The moment I had the question, a deafening true voice echoed in the expanse .

[Yoo Jonghyuk! I will repay the grudge of Immeasurable Austerity!]

Red and blue eyes glared from the roof of a nearby building . Two black leopards with streamlined buildings emanated a strong energy as they fell towards Yoo Jonghyuk .

[The demon king ‘Devil of Easiness and Atrocity’ is showing hostility towards incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk . ’]

[The demon king ‘Eyes that See the Forbidden’ is showing his teeth to incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk . ’]

Yoo Jonghyuk of the 1863rd round was stronger than anyone else but he had many enemies . Thanks to this, I could identify the two leopards without much difficulty .

Devil of Easiness and Atrocity, Ose . Eyes that See the Forbidden, Flauros . They were the 57th and 64th demon kings of the Demon World .

The prideful demon kings forgot their shame and unleashed a pincer attack towards an incarnation .

However, it wasn’t shameful .

[Demon King Slayer! Your story will end here!]

Right now, Yoo Jonghyuk was an existence full of value . I buried myself in the rubble as there was a deafening roar . Then I carefully watched the situation . It was a clash I couldn’t afford and I thought I should move away, but I had a desire to watch the fight a bit more .

It wasn’t another fight but the fight of the 1863rd round Yoo Jonghyuk . It wasn’t easy to see . My ears seemed to burst and the battle began .

[Many constellations are enthusiastic about the battle of incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk . ’]

Indirect messages poured out as Yoo Jonghyuk pulled out his sword . It was the Heaven Shaking Sword that was already broken in the third round . The blade had gone through a number of scenarios and had been upgraded to a completely new level, shining brightly in the darkness .

The demon kings facing him also revealed their power .

[Creatures, rise from death!]

The dead earls and dukes of the Demon World became undead and emerged from the ground . They held elite objects that preserved the combat power of their lives .

However, Yoo Jonghyuk wasn’t panicked at all . “It is Summoning the Dead? The Devil of Principles also used it . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk was smiling .

“That bastard’s body is now hanging among the dead constellations . ”

[Shut up!]

A light flashed and Yoo Jonghyuk’s sword moved . What should I call this swordsmanship?

…Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship? I didn’t know . The certain thing was that it was an amazingly beautiful swordsmanship . It was also a surprisingly cruel swordsmanship .

The nobles of the demon world were cut by the sword and screamed as they turned to ash . They were high-ranking dukes comparable to great-grade constellations . Such beings exploded with a few swings of the sword .

In less than a minute, Yoo Jonghyuk killed dozens of undead nobles and reached the nose of Flauros .

[How…]

Like a toy, the head of Demon King Flauros exploded .

There were no emotions in his eyes . There was a single blow with a sweet smile . Yoo Jonghyuk killed a demon king .

[This… this crazy bastard!]

The Demon King Ose shouted angrily .

[Constellations! Why are you hesitating?]

The moment the call was heard, the constellations hiding in the ruins came out . Most of them were constellations of the absolute evil system . They ranged from great-grade to narrative-grade . Every constellation rushed to get rid of one incarnation, Yoo Jonghyuk .

[The character ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is talking about the story of ‘Eternal Damnation . ’]

However, Yoo Jonghyuk wasn’t pushed at all . A bloody aura overflowed from his body and collided with the constellations . It was a scary and powerful force but the blow was calm and full of moderation . Every time Yoo Jonghyuk’s sword moved, the ranks of the constellations shook helplessly .

[The constellations of the absolute good system hate the incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ . ]

The incarnation bodies of the constellations exploded one by one . The high-ranking constellations could look so shabby . There were no signs of impatience as Yoo Jonghyuk continued the battle .

[The character ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is talking about the giant story ‘Lonely Pilgrim of Destruction . ’]

Yoo Jonghyuk was only using his ‘left arm’ to destroy the constellations . Every time a constellation fell, my arms trembled .

[The constellations of the absolute evil system are shocked by the combat ability of incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ . ]

Hatred became shock .

[Some constellations of the absolute evil system are afraid of the incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk . ’]

Shock became fear .

[Many constellations are trembling at the power of incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk . ’]

It was thrilling . Crazy guy… he was a really crazy guy .

No matter how I thought about it, there was no way to bring down the current Yoo Jonghyuk .

I didn’t know what scenario Secretive Plotter gave me but I must never become enemies with this guy until it was over .

Then a message was heard .

[The sub scenario commissioned by ‘Secretive Plotter’ has arrived!]
