[I believe in him.]

Even so, I answered it like this. Persephone’s eyes flashed at my natural answer.

[In the first place, I came here because I believed in him.]

I stared at Yoo Jonghyuk on the screen. It didn’t matter how many times he was defeated, broken or felt despair. He was a person who didn’t give up until the end. If I couldn’t believe in him, who could I believe in the first place? Even if this round failed…

This guy would surely see the ending of this world eventually.

I slowly closed my eyes before opening them again.

Yoo Jonghyuk slowly walked towards the cage and carefully pulled out Biyoo. Biyoo cried out loudly. Her little hand touched Yoo Jonghyuk several times. Yoo Jonghyuk stared down at Biyoo for a while before he placed her in his pocket and started moving.

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ has wet eyes.]

[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ is wiping his head with a towel.]

[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is so impressed that he is writing a poem.]

The light of countless constellations was shining towards him but none of them could reach Yoo Jonghyuk. No matter how many years they had lived, they couldn’t understand the regressor who suffered the destruction of the world twice. The next moment, Yoo Jonghyuk heard a message.

[The constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is looking at you.]

It was a star that never appeared in the last two rounds. Then why? Yoo Jonghyuk felt like the star had been there for a long time.

Yoo Jonghyuk declared, “Get lost, Kim Dokja.”

Then one of the stars in the sky really went out.

“…Kim Dokja?”

-------------------------------------------------------

And now, I knew what my future was like. Every time I read something, I’d crumble away. My crumbling Fables would scatter to countless world-lines out there and become the ‘gaze’ that maintained this universe.

I would lose all of my memories, and lose everything that I hold dear. And in the end, only the desire to see the ‘next story’ would remain in me.

But, without that desire, this universe couldn’t continue.

This universe could only continue telling its story as long as someone was looking at it.

Tsu-chuchuchu….

She grew stronger because she didn’t want to be in debt to him like last time. She performed the hellish personal scenarios and frantically defeated monsters. Jung Heewon shouted as she coughed up blood. “It is you who said we couldn’t do this alone! You were the one who gathered us! You told me all of this!”

An unfamiliar true voice flowed from the lips of the smiling Kim Dokja. [I know.]

“What do you know? The person who knows, how…?”

[Still, not now.]

Lee Hyunsung screamed, “I don’t want this! I don’t need this type of help. I’ll die here! I’ll die here with Dokja-ssi!”

Dying here. Kim Dokja, who was staring at the sky, lowered his gaze towards the party members.

[The constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is looking at the party.]

The party members heard the message. They looked at Kim Dokja’s fluttering hair. They saw his long eyelashes, his eyes, his white cheeks and sadly distorted lips. Suddenly, they realized that Kim Dokja could exist in this world with such an expression.

[Please live.]
