Omniscient Reader's Perspective

Only I know the ending of "Journey to the West"?

Where have I heard this introduction before?

I decided to go in first to confirm the situation in this story room.

[-has entered the waiting area of ​​story cabin 6731]

Thankfully, their storyline doesn't seem to have begun yet.

But then again, they shouldn't have started without the Monkey King character.

After I entered the room, the surrounding environment changed, and a huge round table suddenly appeared.

Square chat windows float above tables and chairs instead of actual people.

They represent actors playing other roles.

[Participant 1 has currently chosen the role of Zhu Bajie] [Participant 2 has currently chosen the role of 'Sha Wujing'] [Player 6 has currently chosen the role of Tang Sanzang's white horse]

The faces of the team members were covered by question marks.

This appears to be done to protect the personal information of the actual participants.

Okay but let's not talk about that now.With so many actors here, no one has chosen the role of Monkey King yet?

Player 8: Hello everyone.

Maybe they've all logged out or something, because no one wants to leave a message in a chat room even if I show up.

but then...

Scenario Simulation: ?

Master of Scene Setting: Which character do you want to play?

I quickly type my reply into the middle chat room.

Player 8: Is the position of Sun Wukong still vacant?

Scenario Simulation: Vacant.

really weird.

Script Master: There is someone we want, but it is delayed... Do you want to play Monkey King?

This guy, he seems to have a habit of not typing the correct sentences.

Just when I was starting to worry about whether such a person could be the master of the scene, a message popped up, perfectly timed, as if its sender had read my mind.

Script Guru: I know the genre like the back of my hand, don't worry about the script "falling apart".

Yeah, it's just hard to trust anyone with this syntax.

Nonetheless, I decided to test something.

Player 8: I want to ask about your title, I have become the retired sssss Monkey King.

Scenario Simulator: I am in charge.

Player 8: Why are there 5 "s"?

Scenario Master: It takes that much to attract an attacker.

, maybe he really knows something?

Even though he disdains to use any kind of polite language, it makes me a little nervous.

I continue to ask questions.

Player 8: Is Monkey King really the protagonist?

scene master: yes

Player 8: Don't audiences get tired of spinoffs that leave the original?I think it's been a trend lately for side characters or extra characters to be main characters.

I think I've pinpointed his weakness, but the Master's response is surprisingly calm.

Scenario Master: Oh, it looks like you did some market research.

Player 8: Just simply browsing.

Plot Master: As for those heroic stories you told, they did a good job.However, if we want to be No.1, Sun Wukong must be the protagonist.

Player 8: Hmm...

Script Master: It's not who the protagonist is or anything that matters, but how "strange" he is.There are too many heroic stories.

you look at this guy

At first glance, he seemed to be yelling at whatever thought popped into his head, however, there was nothing wrong with what he had just said.

Usually, in this case, it's the stories that feature traditional heroes that get the top spots.

For example, Feihu's "Journey to the West" features Sun Wukong as the main character.

Player 8: Is that why you chose "Retired Monkey King"?

Player 8: What will the retired Monkey King do?

Scenario Master: Nothing.

Player 8: ?

Script Master: Ah, this is a spoiler, so don't talk.So, do you join or not?

I am in a dilemma.

Scenario Master: If you're not, get out of here.We are running out of time. No answer within 5 seconds and I'll kick you out.

I'm kind of curious how a retired Sun Wukong could also be the main character....

(The fourth edition of "Ghost Stories" will end in 5 minutes!)

If I were to look for another room now, I wouldn't have time to pick.

Damn, I have no choice.

No matter what the situation is, as long as I try my best, everything will be fine, right?

Player 8: I join.

Scenario Master: Well, then it's my turn to ask the question.

Player 8: About what?

[The Scenario Director would like to confirm your details. ]

[Please select the information you wish to disclose]

He wants to see my information?

Player 8: Is it really necessary?

[Just wanted to know your name. ]

my name, isn't it?

I've decided to reveal some of my information.

[Player 8 - is a "constellation"]

[Player 8-'s modifier is "Guardian of Light and Darkness"] [Applicable information is only provided to "Scene Manager". ]

The scene supervisor didn't respond for a while.

He must have been terrified by what he saw.

Scenario Master: Huh? You're a Constellation Project? But, why in this cheap room?

I answer quickly.

Player 8: I really want to be the retired Monkey King!

Drama Master: Something's off, isn't it?

Player 8: The real fun is coming up with an unpopular story from scratch, don't you agree?

Drama Master: By the way, what happened to the dumplings?

dumpling?

[Your current partner is your pet]

Damn, I forgot this guy was with me.

Script Master: But, we don't have pet characters, do we?

Player 8: It's just a dumpling.It's not even a pet itself.

Scene Master: Well, kind of embarrassing, isn't it? What's your opinion?

Surprisingly, the Script Master went so far as to ask other players for their opinions.

[Player 1- says: 'It doesn't matter if it's a Mullin dumpling'. ][Player 4- says 'Master should do whatever they want'][3-Player says 'I want to play this game right now']

Thank goodness the other players didn't object.

Scene Master: We can do this too

Player 8: Thank you.

Scenario Master: Needs a little more time to complete

After a while, the countdown began.

(The story room "I have become a retired sssss-Monkey King" has started to tell the story!) [The plot of this story room will follow the plot set by the script master] [The main plot of the story room may be disturbed by the judge or the audience. ]

["Journey to the West" will be remade!]

-The bright light stained my vision gray.

i became a retired sssss level sun wukong

Letters emerge from the dark in a funky fashion.

So, I became the protagonist of this story, Sun Wukong, and from now on, I will participate in the creation of this script.

To be honest, my heart throbbed a little.

…come to think of it, I literally became the protagonist of a true story…

【Golden Only Son is ready】

As the sound of the fourth wall enters my head, information emerges before my eyes.

[Prologue begins. ]

[The Prologue will be told in flashback. ]

[In the applicable section, the player can only speak the specified dialogue. ]

[The narration of the protagonist of the script begins now. ]

, Finally, a voice came from the darkness.

(After a long journey with Tripitaka, Monkey King finally arrived in the Western Regions and successfully obtained the Buddhist scriptures.)

Oh, here we go.

The scene actually changed too, and before I knew it, my body had transformed into that of Monkey King.Those who would have been my companions were all around me, but perhaps because it was a flashback shot, their faces were blurred.My lips started to move by themselves.

"Finally retired, hasn't it...it's been a long journey."

At the same time, the memory of Monkey King flitted across my eyes.

Driven away by Tang Sanzang, stabbed in the back by Zhu Bajie, and even abandoned by Sha Wujing.Remembering him with a mob and a bunch of useless morons as his companions, battling countless creatures until I was a mess...

Now that I see these things, there is indeed some sadness and bitterness.

This is what Journey to the West looks like to me.

But just then, I heard a strange sound.

【Are you going to end like this】

I looked down and the texts were suddenly talking to me.

【Are you really satisfied with this kind of story】

I'm kind of under the impression that, so that's how our storyline started, now what?

It was like reciting sacred Buddhist scriptures.

[Don't you hate this unfairness?You have been deported by Tripitaka for illogical reasons, and you have been oppressed many times. 】

[You are tortured by a curse for a crime you did not commit. 】

【There is nothing more important than walking on the path of Buddhism. You must protect Tang Sanzang and persevere in an arduous journey, even if you ride your somersault cloud and reach your destination in a blink of an eye. 】

To be sure, "Journey to the West" does have a cruel side in its treatment of Monkey King.

The result of such a difficult journey is your ascension to "heaven"?Are you not really irritated by this conclusion?

Now that I hear it, that does sound like a colossal injustice.

【You can start from scratch】

"... from scratch?"

You can start the journey all over again

Around that time, I felt an ominous chill down my back.

Damn, is this a comeback story?

My lips began to move by themselves again. "What's going on? I've dug through so much garbage to get here, and you want me to do it all over again?"

【No, you won't suffer any more this time】

"what?"

【Maximize the use of your companions and become an existence that cannot save anyone.In fact, you will become a 'devil king' who only lives for yourself]

Just then, a blinding light burst from the sacred scriptures.

[Flashback ends]

[The drama will officially begin!]

The stories here all seem to be part of the prologue.

That means the real episode will start now.

As if it was waiting for this moment, the word first episode came to mind.

Next thing I freaked out.

~Episode [-]: The Demon King of Salvation~

what?

, as if it read my mind, the narrative began again.

(It's not a widely known story, but a long time ago, Sun Wukong was known as the "Demon King of Salvation".)

I wonder what shit this is, but for now, I'm determined to listen to it until the end.

(This little stone monkey has a bad habit of sacrificing himself to save others, and many people who accept his unwanted rescue attempts end up with psychological scars.) (The gods and buddhas in the sky criticize him, Yet that stupid stone head continues to throw his own life away, saving others time and time again.)

-, no, no, wait a minute.

(The Heavenly Jade Emperor and Buddha felt they could no longer accept his behavior, so they imprisoned Sun Wukong in Wuzhi Mountain.)

(Our story begins there.)

[The Stone Monkey King judges loved this particular backstory. ][Some judges award points for plots that reflect current trends]

[Get 2 bonus points]

My attention was drawn to information that "reflected current trends".

Ah, could this be the reason?

[The first episode has started]

[The unrestricted speech section has begun]

[Do your best to create an interesting, entertaining story based on your character. ]

I shivered greatly and regained my senses.

I had goose bumps all over my body and my back hurt badly.

I heard the sound of dark soil falling around me.

I'm in a situation where only my head is poking out from under the hill.

[Currently, you are sealed under Five Fingers Mountain. ]

, it seems that I am now being crushed by Wuzhishan.

(The audience is wondering what your reaction will be) (The script master is urging you to say something that fits your character.)

This is the first scene after the protagonist has just returned.

Since this happens so often in genre fiction, I figured I'd be fairly familiar with what to say here, but when I found myself in the shoes of these characters, I didn't even know what to say.

,Nevertheless, I decided to say something.

"Where am I? Didn't I just come back with a Bible?"

-Obviously, no normal, sane person would talk to himself like that.

"...Wuzhishan?! My God, am I really back?"

So, I can't help but be amazed at the ease with which I can pronounce such lines.

[The audience now understands your current situation. ]

(Script protagonist nods to agree with your dialogue instincts.)

(The scene supervisor has confirmed your identity.)

Damn, I really want to hide in a hole right now.

Part of the audience is waiting for the next scene

’ I recall the plot points of Journey to the West.

According to the original book, Monkey King should wait 500 years under Wuzhi Mountain.In this way, 5 minutes passed, and 10 minutes passed.

There is no way, right?

(Sun Wukong pricked up his ears when he heard the noisy sound coming from afar.)

I breathed a sigh of relief.Now according to the original statement, the first person Sun Wukong met was Tang Sanzang.

(While Sun Wukong looks at the acquaintance who approaches him, he starts to reminisce about the past.)

Two kids approached where I was.

Dressed in a cute Buddhist robe, with a toy-like crown on his head.

Monkey King Lost in Rose-Tinted Memories

Now, the cold is slowly creeping up my back.

That faint sense of déjà vu I felt earlier is now slowly becoming real.

The fourth wall buzzed me.

【You really don't know】

'I can't answer.

;When I saw those five letters "sssss", I had this suspicion;

Even though I believed it was impossible, a part of me still held out hope.

I gritted my teeth, tried my best to stay awake, and tried to slip away.

"Oh, he's over there. I think it's the uncle."

"Let me ask him."

They may be the smallest pair of Sanzang in the world.

- Lee Ji-yong grabbed my head, lifted it up, and asked me.

"You bastard, are you the 'Salvation Demon King' Sun Wukong?"
