{Kim Dokja POV}

[The positions of the footholds will be created!]

[The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ is preparing the ‘Flames of Destruction’.]

      My party members successful found footholds this time. The apostle and I also found a foothold that fit two people.

      To be precise, the apostle tossed the person already occupying it out with force. The drops of blood landed on the brutal apostle. He wiped it off and said, “We have to slay the lesser dragon.”

Ku ku ku ku!

[The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ is using the ‘Flames of Destruction’.]

      The Absolute Shield activated and once again blocked the flames.

Kuooooh!

     Only two stages had occurred but there were less than a quarter prophets remaining. The party members had been keeping pace but it was uncertain how long they would last.

[A hidden piece penalty has occurred.]

[The number of footholds created in the next turn will be reduced.]

I spoke with narrowed eyes, “With your power alone?”

“It is possible. I have prepared enough.”

      I felt uneasy as I heard his confident voice. That reminded me, he was shedding a single drop of sweat in this heat. A bluish chill spread over his skin.

     This was… I see. Their preparations were outstanding.

“It is the ice pill.”

“That’s right.”

     A pill that had a certain probability of appearing when a 7th grade elemental species was hunted in the Gangseo-gu area stations. They already managed to get their hands on this pill. It would release a powerful ice attribute for at least 30 minutes.

     In other words, they had a foundation to hurt the lesser dragon. The problem was the attack power.

“It is impossible with you alone.”

“Who said I was alone?”

     I looked at the survivors. There were a few people I was particularly keeping an eye on. I looked closer and saw that their bodies were covered with a bluish chill.

“Huhu, how can I come here alone?”

      I counted and there were five of them. They had committed half their power for this operation. The five apostles must have confidence after eating the five ice pills.
But.
“A few more people won’t make a big difference.”

“That’s why I am seeking help. I will give an ice pill to Yoo Jonghyuk-nim if you decide to help us.”

“If I refuse?”

“All of Yoo Jonghyuk-nim’s party members here will die.”

“Do you think you will be safe like that?”

“Even if we can’t take care of the lesser dragon, we can at least take care of our bodies.”

      He was brimming with confidence. They would’ve already lost their heads if I was the real Yoo Jonghyuk.

“Do you think I am worried about my party members? People die anyway. I can gather other people.”

      I raised Unbroken Faith to his neck. Then he shook his head.

“Huhu, you are truly like the revelations. But you better think carefully.”

“What do you mean?”

“By now, Yoo Jonghyuk-nim’s main base would’ve entered our hands.”

“…What?”

“Maritime Admiral Lee Jihye, a child who uses strange abilities. And one of the 10 Evils. It is different from the original revelation but you have made a fairly good party. If they all die, won’t Yoo Jonghyuk-nim face problems starting again?”

     They had already investigated up to here. These bastards…

“Won’t it be worse if we take away Chungmuro Station? Right now, it is just a proposal. But don’t think this proposal will last forever. Our group has already completed the King’s Road scenario by taking over 10 stations. You should know the gap between a group with a ‘king’ and a group without a king.”

“…”

“Perhaps the situation would already be over by now. The king will be waiting for Yoo Jonghyuk-nim’s choice in front of Chungmuro’s flag holder.”

…I see.

      I knew their plan. These guys, they planned to hit Chungmuro from the moment they received information I was coming to the Night of the Prophets.

“If you pledge to join us, we will promise the safety of your party as well as our full support in the future. This is a promise on the king’s honour.”

      My heart was pounding from the precise threat. They were actually this bold against Yoo Jonghyuk. It was rare to find this in someone who read Ways of Survival. Do they think that they are Cale Henituse group? Yoo Jonghyuk think that they are strong people that could even hit those dokkaebis and constellations in the back of their head so he let them act as they please. Besides Cale Henituse is someone who says that he knows the way to stop him from regressing.

“Who is your king? Where did they get off?”

“Hmm… the king dislikes being called someone who ‘got off.’”

“So what do you call them?”

“Even if you are Yoo Jonghyuk-nim, please refrain from speaking about him like that. He is the only one among the prophets who has read all the revelations. He knows both Yoo Jonghyuk’s past and future.”

…What? I was surprised for a moment but didn’t greatly panic. This was interesting. There was another reader who read all of the novel?

     Laughter emerged. It was a ridiculing laugh. It was because there absolutely couldn’t be such a thing.

Kuooooh!

    Finally, the third attack of the fire dragon was about to begin. I looked at the apostle and quietly stepped out of the foothold.
The bewildered apostle asked as I walked forward. “Yoo Jonghyuk-nim? What are you doing?”

     The party members far away were also surprised. I waved my hands.

–Don’t worry. No matter what happens, you absolutely can’t move from there. Understood?

     I walked in the direction of the lesser dragon. It was with slow but sure steps. The fire dragon stared ferociously at me as it prepared the Flames of Destruction.

“What are you doing?! Come back!”
The apostle behind me hastily exclaimed. I turned around and smiled at him.

“Did the king tell you about this future?”
As I listened to him, I kept thinking. These guys shouldn’t be alive. But they had a ‘strategy’ and I couldn’t kill them all by myself. If so… I laughed and continued talking.

“You guys, have you forgotten what my stigma is?”
If I was them. What would they ‘fear’ the most right now?

“I’m not afraid of death. I can just start over again.”
The answer was simple. They believed I was Yoo Jonghyuk. If that was the case…

“I wonder. What will the effect be on you? You are unusual presences in this turn.” The most ‘fearful’ thing to them was what I feared most. “If I die here, will you exist in the next turn? Or will you end with this world?”

They didn’t want Yoo Jonghyuk to die.
“If you really read the revelations, you should know the answer right?”

     The apostles’ faces paled. There were times when it was easier to handle those who used their heads.

“Yoo Jonghyuk!”

     The five apostles moved from the footholds and started to run towards me. I knew it. No matter how unconcerned they pretended to be, they were people who ‘got off’ and were caught up in this scenario.

     What would happen to them in a world where the protagonist was dead? They didn’t know.

“Catch him quickly!”

Just like me.

[The 5th grade fire dragon species, ‘Lesser Dragon Igneel’ is using the ‘Flames of Destruction’.]

The moment that flames burst out from the centre of the platform, I exploded all the strength in my muscles and ran towards the legs of the dragon. Then I put my flag into the flag holder of Anguk Station located there.

[You have occupied Anguk Station.]

[Currently Occupied: Chungmuro (Main Base), Myeongdong, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, Dongdaemun, Dongmyo, Sindang Station, Cheonggu Station, Yaksu Station, Sinseol-dong Station, Anguk Station]

[The achievement points of the brown flag are rising.]

[You have occupied 10 stations!]

[The hidden scenario – ‘King’s Road’ has been achieved.]

[Depending on the path you walk, you will receive a new ‘king’ attribute].
King of Arrogance and Hypocrisy
King of Solitude and Taste
King of No Killing
·····.

I replied without reading the rising options.

“King of No Killing.”

[The new attribute, King of No Killing has been obtained!]

This was enough. I hadn’t wanted to do this but it was necessary to get rid of the people here.

The apostles discovered the flames and hurried back to the footholds. However, it was already too late.

“You should’ve been careful. You only have one life.”

The wave of flames covered them. It was an attack that couldn’t be endured even if they ate the ice pill.

[The durability of the External Enhanced Suit has decreased dramatically.]

[The durability of the External Enhanced Suit has run out.]

My vision soon became dim. There was the feeling of flesh being burnt and I lost consciousness.

[You have died.]
_________________________________________

      At the tunnel between Gyeongbokgung Station and Anguk Station.

• Cale, the red dragon started to attack and killed the people in the station.

• Chaos, Destruction, Doom. They are being annihilated by the dragon and they are trapped in the station because of the barriers.

• Some people are panicking and the other are calmly moved in that situation.

•Mmm…, there’s one person who tells the other about what to do. It seems like that he knows about what will happen.

    Hmm…, is he the real prophet? I need to check his time. Maybe the real prophet can help us to go back to our world.

“I think we need to move faster. Something seems to happened in Anguk Station.” Cale tell everyone.

“What do you mean? There should be nothing to worry about because the prophet is gathering there. I just got new information that Yoo Jonghyuk is coming to the Anguk Station.” Park Chin-Mae said energetically.

“Who’s Yoo Jonghyuk?” Choi Han asked.

“He is the main character in the Book of Revelation. We want to help him to clear the scenario. That is why we search for strong people to help everyone survive in this world. That’s why we want to show you the benefits of joining our group.”

     Who would believe all of that lies. Hmm…from what they were saying, it seems that they are reading a book that becomes the reality. It’s like what happened when I read The Birth of a Hero as Kim Roksoo. But that’s mean that the future will be different because of their actions.

“That’s means that your group know about the future or know about what will happen around that Yoo Jonghyuk from the Book of Revelation, but will he work together with your group?” Clopeh asked.

“Don’t worry about it. Even Yoo Jonghyuk is someone who is hard to approach we had prepared a great weapon to make a deal with him. With that weapon, he will definitely join us for his goals.” Park Chin-Mae assured them.

“So what kind of person is this Yoo Jonghyuk in the Book of Revelation?” Alberu asked.

“He is the main character with extremely calculating and cold person, he also cruel and rude. But he’s also someone who is describes as 'tougher in body and nobler in heart than any creature in this world' as he was the main character. The Book of Revelation also describes him as extremely handsome and extremely muscular. He was described with black and slightly wavy, cut short hair. He has tan skin, a sharp nose ridge, and a strong jawline, he has well-toned biceps and thighs...” Park Chin-Mae describes what he remembered about Yoo Jonghyuk but he couldn’t finish it because someone interrupted it.

“Wait a moment!!! Did you say he was someone who is extremely handsome? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HIM AND CONFIRMED HIS LOOKS? If you haven’t seen him how can you said such things!!!” One of the fans screamed with angers and killing intents that makes Park Chin-Mae feel that he will definitely die if he don’t choose his words carefully.

[Some constellations run away while shaking from fear.]

[Some constellations laugh maliciously at incarnation ‘Park Chin-Mae’.]

[Some constellations send their condolences to incarnation ‘Park Chin-Mae’.]

[Some constellations showing their killing intents to incarnation ‘Park Chin-Mae’.]

[Some constellations...]
...

“The writer of that book seems to be never saw someone who is extremely handsome and live on a place full of squids and rats like person that why that writer could write such nonsense. We should pity the writer for not knowing what the meaning of extremely handsome in this world, we need to teach the writer the reality and the greatness of the extremely handsome people who can do anything that they like and everyone will forgive and love them. They don’t even need to do anything, just their existence is enough for the world to become a paradise fufufu...” The other fans said with dazed and hazy eyes watching Cale group while keep moving to Anguk Station.

[All the constellations in the fans circle agrees with your words.]

[5,000 coins have been sponsored.]

“One extremely handsome person is not perfect, you need two or more extremely handsome person with extremely good relationships to make it perfect. Take an example of Cale-nim and Alberu-nim siblings love, it was the greatest thing that made their handsome appearance became perfection. Hmm..., but if we add some love triangle plot or maybe something like harem plot is also good. Haaa..., I needed to write it in my notes for my writing. Maybe if I meet that writer I should teach the greatness of the perfection ufufufu...” Hyun Ji-Hu was muttering with a creepy smile.

[Some constellations like your words.]

[Some constellations nodded excitedly.]

[Some constellations interest in your work.]

[Some constellations love your words.]

[Some constellations want to read the next chapters.]

[Some constellations want to be your friend.]

[Some constellations waiting eagerly for the continuation of your works.]

[Some constellations...]
...

[25,000 coins have been sponsored.]

“The writer seems to have a bad vocabulary. What is ‘extremely handsome’ mean? Did that writer don’t know about the ‘worldwide handsome’ or ‘face geniuses’ meaning? How could someone write without understanding those words meanings! That writer won’t get any readers with such trashy vocabulary. Maybe this writer needs to meet Clopeh-nim who is the best person with his words. I just remembered that time Clopeh-nim talking about the faith in Cale-nim that makes me realize the truth about the greatness of Cale-nim existence...” The leader of CSRF Yun Jeong-Suk, started to preach after being influenced by Clopeh.

     The fans beside her nodded their heads excitedly, two of them was busy recording everything while keep moving. The two of them were the devout believers of Clopeh words about how they should record everything to tell the world about the greatness of their exploits.

      Why do I feel chills at my back? Cale wondering about the sudden bad feelings but he dismissed it because he wants to arrive at Anguk Station to meet the self claims prophets while keep listening to the wind elementals reports.

There’s a dragon in Anguk Station, we need to be careful and check if the dragon in this world is similar to the dragon in our world. The dragon seems to attack everyone in Anguk Station. We need to prepare ourselves if the dragon.” Cale tells the other about what happened in Anguk Station.

• The Dokkaebis do something and more people in the station killed by the dragon.

• The person they called Yoo Jonghyuk seems to arguing with another person. They said they need to slay the lesser dragon.

• Chaos, Destruction, Doom. The dragon seems to prepare breath to attack them.

• Cale, do you want us to help them because we seems to be able to pass the barriers?

“I think they won’t realized it and it may cause them to be panicked at the situation or it will make the Dokkaebis raise the difficulty of the scenario.” Cale said quietly.

“Park Chin-Mae-Nim, I think we better to speed up our pace so that we won’t be late or leave out from the prophets meeting. Besides we are really interested in what you are saying about your group noble goals.” Cale said to Park Chin-Mae group.

“Ah, Mhm, y...you’re right! Let’s quicken our pace.” Park Chin-Mae feel relieved because when Cale talked to him the scary pressures from the angry fans was miraculously vanished and the fans looked like someone who having a drugs with their dazed looked.

      For some reason I feel chills at my back. Are the situation in Anguk Station were dangerous or bad?

      They quickly moved to Anguk Station.
__________________________________________

       Meanwhile at Gyeongbokgung Station...

“I feel that I’m lacking of vitamins C3AM (Cale, Choi Han, Clopeh, Alberu and Mary).”

“Same here, I really need more watching their beautiful figures.”

“AHHH...”
     The sudden scream from one of the fans surprised them.

“What’s happened?”

“I...I...I  just realized something about our Godly Idols.”

“Hmm? What is it? Don’t say anything obvious like their beauty is unrealistic or something like that.”

“No..., I just realized that everything was already in Cale-nim predictions and it’s all happened because he wants it to happened.”

“What makes you think so?”

“Just think about everything that happened to us. They arrived here when we need help from those trash bastards. They helped us and trained us for survival but it’s surprisingly extremely helpful in the third scenario. Do you think that a humans will be able to predict those monsters attack patterns and their weaknesses in such a short time? They also never panic in every conditions and always calm. Cale-nim strategies is really effective and he seems to be able predict every thing that will happen in the scenario. They always help us when we are in dangers even when we are in the middle of the monsters wave. He even knows that someone is coming from another station and preparing themselves with disguised. After thinking about everything that happened to us, I realized that Cale-nim is really awesome and he knows everything!!! How can we not praise our Perfect Awesome Greatest Godly Idols!!!! Even this world is doing whatever he wants to!! All Hail our Young Master Cale-nim!!!” She enthusiastic said.

[Some constellations surprised by the truth.]

[Some constellations trembled in fear.]

[Some constellations shocked by your statements.]

[Some constellations watching you with interest.]

[Some constellations like your reasoning.]

[All constellations in the fans circle praise you for your great deductions.]

[Some constellations jaw dropped to the ground.]

[Some constellations...]
...

“Wait for a moment! Your faith is still lacking if you are thinking like that.”

“What do you mean!?”

“Yes, you’re lacking faith in our Idols. You should’ve said that even they were a divine being, demonic being, mythical creatures or even just a normal human beings, we will still worship and have faith in them. That’s how we need to prepare our faith in them.”

“...You are right, I’m still shortsighted in my faith in them.”

      The others fans have a surprise look and they’re trembled as they realize that her words are fitted logically
