Omniscient Reader's Perspective

As soon as Han Xiuying opened her eyes, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

-It wasn't until the black blood filled the ground in large quantities that she finally regained her sanity.

The first thing she saw was a dense forest.This is not where she fought Yoo Jong Hyuk just now.

"I literally almost died there just now. Yoo Jong Hyuk, you son of a bitch"

If she hadn't transferred her memories to a standby virtual avatar at the last moment, she might actually be dead.

[You have exhausted the licenses allocated to "Memory Transfer" today. ][From now on, the backup avatar will serve as your real body. ]

She had expected this to happen.

[The story 'Predictive Plagiarism', hesitates to continue its narrative. ]

Han Soo-young clearly saw several scenes through this so-called predictive plagiarism, one she earned after experiencing a mysterious dream.

Like, various futures that change based on her choices - the death of Kim Duk Son, or even the death of Yoo Jong Hyuk.

Then, for the only future, both of these dire options can be avoided.

[Due to the punishment of "memory transfer", your physical ability will be greatly weakened. ]

"I swear, if any of them die, then I...!"

Han Xiuying talked to herself unhappily, trying to feel the fluctuation of magical energy around her.

She still needs to locate those two people.

Not long after, her senses came back to the two huge bodies, and she quickly ran in that direction.

, of all the futures she had read, this was "the only one with a chance of success."

Jin Duzi is not dead, and for the first time in history, these two idiots can talk normally.

That's what Han Soo Young (predicted plagiarism) predicted and that's why she didn't try to dodge Yoo Jong Hyuk's sword at the last minute

.So Jin Duzi should still be alive.

Near here, she heard the sound of a sword colliding with something else.

"Are they still fighting?

"Idiots, I even died so you two could talk, but..."

She felt that when she got there, she really needed to give these two men a severe reprimand.

But as she walked forward through the bushes, what followed terrified her.

--Yoo Jong-hyuk mercilessly struck the only son of Kim who was lying on the ground with his sword.

"Hey!! You crazy bastard!!"

"I guess it didn't work?"

--Liu Jong-hyuk saw Jin Duzi lying on the ground.On the chest of this comatose person, one can clearly see the shallow wound left by his [Dark Sky Demon Sword].

But, I think I just saw

Yoo Jong Hyuk gripped his sword tightly, concentrating.

Almost immediately, he felt the dark aura oozing from Jin Duzi.

- This is the "Wall", this is that weird "foreign" identity he feels every time he looks at Kim Duk Son.

i can see that

-He could see a black wall covered with countless words.He raised his sword high and slammed it hard against the wall.

Now, a border crosser began to knock on it in earnest, and the wall began to shake.

The "fourth wall" is staring at you

Liu Zhonghyuk didn't care if he was dazzled or not, and continued to knock on the wall.

Beyond this wall, there may be...,'

If it doesn't want to open, then until it wants to open;

If it can't be opened, then until he gets it open.

again and again.

but then.

"Hey you crazy!! Are you crazy?!"

With a harsh sound, he felt a rather powerful impact in the back of his head.

Blood trickled down, blocking his view.

Through the red, he saw Han Xiuying kneeling beside Jin Duzi.

"Hey, Jin Duzi!! Control yourself! Wake up, what the hell are you doing? He's not dead?"

Liu Zhonghyuk stood up unsteadily.

"Han Xiuying, do you really want to die today?"

"You've already killed me once today, you bastard."

"I knew from the beginning that you would not die."

"Don't lie, you know, my acting is beyond perfect."

She growled angrily, pointing at the avatar body (her real body just a few minutes ago) in some forgotten corner over there.

The avatar's body, which is currently crumbling, shows obvious signs of bleeding.

Avatar is bloodless to begin with.

Liu Zhonghe said nonchalantly.

"If an [Avatar] is imbued with a certain amount of memory, it bleeds like a real body."

"My God, how did you know that?"

"According to the records you wrote yourself. Specifically, you wrote them from round 1863."

"I wrote a lot of crap back then, didn't I? Damn."

There are many things she wants to ask, but she chooses not to ask.

Instead, she poked Jin Duzi in the face and spoke.

"The guy looks totally duped, though, doesn't he?"

"It seems so."

"How about it?"

"He went crazy and attacked me."

Han Xiuying smirked and pinched Jin Duzi's cheek lightly, as if she was proud of him.

"By the way, what happened to his boobs?"

"He's paying me to eat dirt."

"soil??"

"There is such a thing."

’ She turned her gaze back to Jin Duzi, his cheeks drooping listlessly.

To be honest, he was dying, and no part of his body could be described as "okay".

In fact, the surrounding forest has been leveled by the fighting just now, so it would be even more strange if his body was largely unharmed.

Han Sooyoung understands that this scene of total destruction is direct evidence of the conversation between Kim Sokja and Yoo Jonghyuk.

"So? Did you hear the answer you wanted?"

Yoo Jong Hyuk paused for a moment, then replied, "A little bit."

--She could clearly see the deep emotion contained in the simple answer of "a little".

But they belong to Kim Duk Son and Yoo Jong Hyuk, not to anyone else.It made her feel a little sad, a little lonely.

"Anyway, you're going back to Gold Sole Company now, right?"

Yoo Jong-hyuk thought for a while, then turned and left as if he had finished all his words.

She frowned deeply.

"Hey you! At least try to answer clearly, okay? I even helped you, didn't I?"

""Holy Demon War" will be released soon."

Liu Zhonghyuk continued to walk forward, one step, two steps.

Just when Han Xiuying was about to say something else.

Sparks flew around Jin Duzi's body, and a "voice" suddenly came out.

(Yoo Jong Hyuk, you know, that stupid plot isn't the most important thing.)

Startled by this change, Liu Zhonghyuk quickly drew his sword.

The imaginary wall that surrounds Duzi Kim is actually moving.

Through that wall, someone was talking to him.

(Do you think you left after speaking so one-sidedly?)

No, more specifically, not that wall, but. . . .

(You should also experience what it's like to be a reader. To understand what it is.)

No matter how many times he bumped into it, the wall that he didn't want to break suddenly opened a small hole on the side, and a hand stretched out from this mysterious hole.

The hand then gently grabbed Yoo Jong-hyuk's head, and slammed it hard against the wall.

When I regained consciousness, I was lying in pitch darkness.

what happened?

Am I dead?

-Written by Yoo Jong Hyuk?

, as the thoughts continued to swirl in my head, I slowly rose to my feet.I looked around and couldn't see anything.Just then, the light of a lantern illuminated my eyes.

(Only son, so you have always been here.)

"Is that you, Yoo Sang Ah-?"

(How are you)

"Where am I?"

(You are in the library.)

I didn't know what happened until then.Most likely I was sucked in (fourth wall) when I lost consciousness again.

"By the way, is it always this dark in there?"

(No, it's just that the library is in shambles right now. The aftershocks of this battle burned all the lanterns inside and the bookshelves are down. Everyone is doing their best to restore everything right now)

"I'm sorry. I caused you a lot of trouble."

- Yoo Sang Ah smiled lightly and shook her head.

(No, not at all.)

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

(Oh no. It's ok. You should lie here and rest. I'll sit here and rest too

Yoo Sang Ah grunted and sat down next to me softly.

Her face, illuminated by the faint light of the lantern, was exactly as I remembered it.

(You really did a great job.)

"about what?"

(When you say those words.)

It didn't take me a lot of time to figure out what she meant by those words.She will no doubt see the outside world from behind (the fourth wall).

(A proper relationship starts with introducing yourself first, doesn’t it? You might become real friends this time.)

"It would be nice if something like this could happen, but..."

However, I didn't expect much.

To be honest, I thought it would be a huge relief that Yoo Jong-hyuk's anger was somewhat eased.

No matter what I said, it was impossible to lessen his feeling of betrayal. .Books dropped on the floor seem to be everywhere.I picked one up without thinking too much about it.

"Golden Only Son", record when I was 15 years old

I smuggled the book shut and threw the damn thing into the dark depths.

(Um, sorry, only son?)

'What's up

(Actually, I read that book, only a little bit.)

"How much have you read?"

(Honestly, almost the whole book. I found these more interesting than "inactivation". Sorry.)

My face was flushed from the heat, but she had read the letter and there was nothing she could do.

"It's okay. I do feel a little ashamed, but it's still kind of..."

I do think that since Yoo Sang Ah is part of the "library", such a memory might eventually come to light, anyway.She carefully picked up the books that were rolling around on the floor one by one, dusted them off, and collected them all.

Those are my memories.

, her expression was stained gray by the darkness, it was hard to see, but I could still feel how uneasy she was feeling right now.

Perhaps to comfort her, I picked up a book she had been collecting.

long time no see

All these collected books are my stories.

15, 18, 23.28.

I slowly turned the pages of the book.

- Kim's only son, without a father.

- Kim's only son, he doesn't have any friends.

- Kim's only son, he lost his mother.

Something is always missing from this life, or something is always missing from it.

-The only child, the lonely existence is the non-existent existence.

- The only son of Kim is always alone.That's why he's the only child (dokja/something) and "KimDok-Ja" doesn't exist.

What a sad and true word those words are.

However, there was one moment KimDok-Ja did exist and that was when (only son) became (reader).

[Homophonic stalk, free translation]

A life story is told like the long report of a book, and this is my life in a nutshell.

-Spent my teenage years with inactivation, hiding behind the walls this story created for me to hide from other people's accusations.

-In the end, he only came alive when he read the "Deactivation Law"

I felt Yoo Sang Ah's gaze, staring at me from around me.I don't know why, but it also feels like she's not alone; maybe, other librarians are watching me from somewhere in the dark.

Just then, an unexpected text message caught my eye in the opened page.

-I met a stranger during an interview today, that person's name is Yoo Sang Ah

As soon as I saw this letter, I closed the book unconsciously.

-Did Yoo Sang Ah also read this part?

(Haven't you thought about this before, only child?)

"...what? about what"

(What if the "scenario" doesn't start? What happens to us?)

I haven't thought of that yet.

What if inactivation hadn't been a reality at the time?

What would happen to me if the novel The Law of Inactivation got its natural ending and time continued to pass?

...will I still be alive?

Can I still go on?

(Will we still work for the same company as before?)

"My contract hasn't been extended yet, so. I think I may have been looking for work at other companies."

Yes, I will not die so easily.I do think about death now and then, and, maybe there are many days when I fall asleep rereading The Law of Inactivation, but. . .

Yeah, I won't die.

Regardless, I will live on.

"In that world, I wouldn't be friends with you, Yoo Sang Ah. My workplace will change, after all we have no reason to be in touch with each other."

(And even then, wouldn't we try calling each other a few times?)

"Um"

(I think we will. I'm sure I'll still remember you even after you've left the company. You're a weird guy after all)

"Are you trying to get revenge on me?"

- Yoo Sang Ah smiled and continued.

(I might be curious about your well-being. How is he? Is he okay? Has he found a new job? What about marriage)" "I don't think I'm going to get married.I couldn't even take good care of myself back then. "

(Well, it's true that people don't necessarily have to be married. I also find it easier to live alone.)

"Including you, Yoo Sangah?"

(Yes, look, I told you, I think we'd be good friends.)

"Do you really think so?"

(Yes, of course. We learned Spanish together, joined rider clubs, and rode bikes together. To prepare for our later years, we started recommending savings plans or retirement funds. When we were old and could no longer move, we would each other Help get to the hospital.)

"In that case, I think we could live very close."

(Of course. Maybe, we might just live together.)

We continue talking.We discussed the impossible.Things that could never become reality.

Just like inactivation did to me a long time ago.

- Yoo Sang Ah continued.

(Also Hee Won, Hyun Sung, Ji Ji would be nice if the other kids lived nearby and even Sooyoung too.)

Even if such a world existed, they couldn't all be together.

Because they are characters in the novel.they are. . .

yes it would be great if that was true

(Ah, and Jong Hyuk. Although he has a terrible personality, he's a great cook, so I think it's good to be his friend)

Without warning, something welled up inside of me.

(Hee Won and Hyun Sung will be. So we. We will all grow old bit by bit. In a world without scenes, no constellations, and no ghosts. There we will gather to share food and share our stories)

I recall the countless threads of the world I witnessed with the "Secret Mastermind".

Of all these possible worlds, maybe, just maybe, one of them could

(If only such a world existed somewhere. Don't you agree?)

There might be a world like this somewhere

'what'

(I really like being with you.)

'...'

i think i should go

"Liu Shangya."

In fact, I've long since realized

—why she suddenly started talking to me about these things.

["Island Master" calls the avatar "Yu Shangya"]

The masters of these islands seized the opening formed by the weakening of the [Fourth Wall], calling out to Yoo Sang-ah.

The reincarnated king.

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived.

In fact, it was one of the reasons we decided to come to Samsara Island.

(This library, is a warm and nice place, but, you know, I can't stay here forever.)

"But wait a minute, Yoo Sangah. You don't have to rush there!"

Liu Shangya shook her head.Like me, she has now read The Law of Inactivation.

What I'm trying to say is that she already knows it all.

(I can do almost nothing here. As long as I am here, I will always be a simple "reader".)

I looked up at her, determined, my lips pressed together.

I want to stop her.I wanted to ask if we could talk a little longer.

Unfortunately, I can't.

(Only son, you once told me that you only get one chance and that is the world we need to live in. So. I will say this.)

- Yoo Sang Ah put her hand on my head, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, white light enveloped her.

(Let's see you in the next life)
