{Kim Dokja POV}

“Do you know the novel ‘SSSSS grade Infinite Regressor’?”

“Ah, I read it!”

Lee Sungkook raised his hand.

“Wasn’t it the number one platinum novel on Textpia? It was really fun…”

“Ah, that’s right. I had forgotten but now it rings a bell. How did it finish?”

The two of them started speaking loudly as memories popped up. As expected, these guys must be interested in web novels if they read Ways of Survival.

“There were all types of elements but… it was still fun.”

In fact, I read that novel. I was reading Ways of Survival and accidently clicked on it since it was on the ‘Today’s Best’ list. Then I was surprised to see the development and setting of the novel.

–An infinite regressor psychopath.

–Sponsorship from transcendent beings.

–Streaming system.

–A survival game with absurd missions.

In fact, these were common settings. The problem was the details of the common settings and the way they were combined. I had left a comment as soon as I read it.

–Isn’t this plagiarizing Ways of Survival?

I remembered. Rather than a plagiarism controversy, I was criticized for comparing it to a bad novel.

I received terrible messages from the readers of SSSSS grade Infinite Regressor.
I was furious and even sent a note to the writer of Ways of Survival. Then the author said something. He was in a better mood because the number of views had increased. I teared up because I thought the author was pitiful.

Lee Sungkook asked, “But why are you talking about this novel?”

“The 1st Apostle is the author of SSSSS grade Infinite Regressor.”

“Huh? It can’t be.”

That author would know Ways of Survival.
Now that the world had turned into the novel, a writer who plagiarized the novel could claim copyrights on this world. In addition, he added the absurd setting of the ‘revelation.’

After some explanations, Jung Minseob understood and made an absurd expression.

“It was a plagiarized novel?”

“Yes.”

“Come to think of it, the novel was similar… I can’t remember well because it is old… why didn’t that novel pop up first in my mind? I was much more famous.”

“Is it due to the attribute? Only the portion we read popped up. The ‘SS’ part is also confusing because there are too many novels with them.”

“Is that so? In any case, the 1st Apostle is a plagiarist? Then he will have a text version…”

I nodded and said.
“Maybe he has a copy of his own plagiarized work. He copied the plot of the original so he can see the future of this world to a certain extent.”

It was painful when thinking that a plagiarist was successful even in this changed world. It was time to implement justice.

“Then isn’t it impossible to win against him? If he copied the original to the end…”

“It isn’t to the end. He only copied the early parts. He would stop early to prevent a plagiarism controversy later on. After a bit more time, the information he knows will decrease.

“How do you know this?”

“I just know.”

It was natural. In the chapters in the 100s, I was the only reader of Ways of Survival.

“Excuse me, how far did Representative-nim read in the original work…?”

“Before that, there is something you have to do. To be exact, it is something we have to do together.”

Their shoulders stiffened.

“Didn’t you tell me before? The prophets were hit by the Tyrant King.”

“Ah… maybe there are still a few people being used by him.


“Really? Then it is better.”

“Yes?”

The time remaining until the scenario ended was 48 hours. It was hard to do it alone if I wanted to hunt the Tyrant King.

“I will disturb the information of these guys.”

If the Tyrant King was using the prophets, I could take advantage of it.

“Reveal part of the revelations.”

“Huh? How…?”

They still didn’t understand what I was talking about so I kindly explained.

“From now on, we will make a text of SSSSS grade Infinite Regressor and spread it.”
If there were several enemies, the answer was to make them fight against each other.
My plan was clear.

The 1st Apostle, the plagiarist, had information about the ‘third and fourth regressions’ that were the beginning of Ways of Survival. As was always the case with informed people, he monopolized information and hid it from the prophets.
On the other hand, the Tyrant King was one of Seoul’s Seven Kings who used the ‘revelations’ after knowing about the existence of the prophets.

The guy who wanted to monopolize information and the guy who tried to dig it out. It was obvious what would happen if the two of them faced each other.

Lee Sungkook asked, “…Then you are going to make a novel text?”

“That’s right.”

The plan itself was simple. We would make a text of the plagiarized writer’s novel. Then spread it among the people of each station.
Well, it was roughly this type of feeling.

–Some of the prophets’ revelations have been leaked!

The finish was laid out well.

Thanks to Han Donghoon’s Internet comments manipulation, information on the prophets had already spread on the Internet. If the leaking of a txt version was known, there would be a big ripple.
A few early readers would try to get a hidden piece while the Tyrant King would naturally move to obtain them.

“But…I have forgotten most of the contents of SSSSS grade Infinite Regressor. How will we make the text?”

“Why do we need the contents of the plagiarized novel?”

“Huh?”

“We remember the original.”

“Ah…!”
There was a short cry of admiration. However, Jung Minseob’s face was still dark.

“It seems like you are doing something interesting.” A kind voice heard from behind.

They turned their head and saw two persons with a brilliant smile and elegant manner.

Shit! What are Cale Henituse and Alberu Crossman planing to do?

“We heard that you were going to write the plagiarized Book of Revelation. And you seems to know the content of the original Book of Revelation.” Alberu said while smiling at me.

I really wonder how much they know and how they heard all of our conversations when they were just talking with the injured people in Chungmuro Station.

Eh..., those injuries were all healed!? What are they doing?

Hmm..., Mary, Choi Han and Clopeh Sekka is doing something. What is that bottles?

“Let’s talk about the Book of Revelation that you know. And tell us anything that you know about what is written about us in it.”
How vicious, their smiling face is getting scarier. What a scary brothers.

_________________________________________

    While Kim Dokja, Jung Minseob and Lee Sungkook were being pressured by Cale and Alberu.

     Choi Han, Mary and Clopeh are helping the injured survivors in Chungmuro Station. With the spatial pocket that stores many potions that Raon pack inside, they used it for gathering information from them.

   The CRSF members are helping them after learning how to use the potions from observing Choi Han, Mary and Clopeh. Some of them asking some questions to Clopeh and get some strange reasons.

    The CRSF members and some prophets are easily interacting with the survivors in Chungmuro Station.

“Is it alright to use this potions to heal us?” Yoo Sangah asked.

“It’s alright because Our Cale-nim is kind heart and greater than God. He will help everyone because he is someone who will give everyone a salvation.”

[The constellation ‘Overseer of Feast and Dance’ is praising the one who have similar name with excitement.]

“Hm... it’s this constellation again. Who are having similar name with you?” One CRSF members feel annoyed.

“Mm...Maybe I know who is that constellation.” Yoo Sangah said.

“You know about this constellation! Can you please tell us about it?”

“We have been trying to get some information about this constellation but we are unable to deduct the real identity.”

“Hmm...,I think she was Goddess Kale from Olympus Myths. Her name can be  written as Cale or Kalleis. She is one of the Charites or "Graces", goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity and fertility; and in Homer's Iliad. Cale (beauty) was also known as Charis (grace) and Aglaea (splendor). The name Cale in this passage has led some to conclude that Homer mentions two Charites, Pasithea and Cale, which seems to be a forced separation of three words: Pasi thea cale, meaning ‘the goddess who is beautiful to all men’. That’s all I know about it.” Yoo Sangah explains.

[The constellation ‘Overseer of Feast and Dance’ is praising your knowledge.]

“G-G-Goddess Cale-nim...ugh...” No Jang-Mi collapsed with nosebleed and have a strange expression on her face.

“Cale-nim as Goddess!!! That last part about ‘beautiful to all men’ will become a good idea for the story. Chun-Hee-ah, don’t you think you should change your stories a bit? Don’t you think what Yoo Sangah-ssi said about Goddess Cale can be used to make the prologue part more interesting.” Hyun Ji-Hu said with shining eyes.

“I also think that it’s better to change it. Maybe I should write it like:
‘Long long time ago, when the Gods and Demons still able interacting with human world freely. There was a extremely beautiful Goddess named Cale.

Her beauty made other Goddess feel jealous. But no one able to hate her because of her kindness that never differentiate anyone.
She was loved by everyone but she never knew how to love others in romantic relationships until one day when she went to the human world.

There were a Gods and Demons that fighting each other because of their arguments in the human world. The difference view between Gods and Demons are turning into almost war like situations in the human world.

They started to kill each other and Cale-nim who going to the human world without knowing about this situation get into danger and saved by Alberu-nim (dark version), the Prince of the Demons. They falling in love with each other but they were not fated to be together and die from protecting each other from the Gods and Demons attacks.’ How about if I write the prologue into something like this Ji-Hu Unnie?” Moon Chun-Hee asked.

“It’s sounds better than the previous prologue.” Hyun Ji-Hu nodded.

[Some constellations want to read the complete prologue.]

[Some constellations nodded at the change of the prologue.]

[Some constellations interest in the continuation of your story.]

[Some constellations excited by your story.]
[Some constellations urge you to write.]

[Some constellations having a nosebleed imagining Cale as Goddess.]

[Some constellations want you to write a little detail about the ‘love’ part.]

[Some constellations...]
....

“But Cale-nim is much greater than Gods or Goddesses...he will definitely look beautiful in what ever outfits...but Goddess outfits...no, Cale-nim will be much better as Cale-nim.” One CRSF member having a dilemma about the ‘Goddess Cale’ words.

“Hey, constellation ‘Overseer of Feast and Dance’ do you have a look that is equal as our Cale-nim? If you are uglier, you should just change your name and don’t sullied our Cale-nim name.” Another CRSF members said with a threatening tone.

   As the CRSF members busy about the  ‘Goddess Cale’ words.

    Cale and Alberu who got the information from Kim Dokja, know about the fact that they are also written in the Book of Revelation and a bit of the story of Clopeh craziness which seems to be able to destroy this world and he had done it few times in the Book of Revelation.

Haa..., that crazy bastard.”

   They could only sighed at Clopeh craziness.

No wonder if you think about his craziness. Even God has already given up and just ignored him so they wouldn’t have get crazy from interacting with him. What do you think we should do now,  Dongsaeng?” Alberu asked.

I don’t even know how to talk with that crazy bastard. Should we just ignored it like always and talk only when we need him?” Cale feel having a headache.

We are lacking the information about how Clopeh will ruin this world. He seems to hide it to avoid us from doing what is written in the Book of Revelation.” Alberu said while looking at Kim Dokja.

     As they thinking about how to deal with Clopeh craziness, Cale took out a journal from his spacial pocket and checked the survivors in Chungmuro Station.

-     Hello our Cuties, there’s no one who have a twisted time like him but for some reason I feel some connections with that group.

    Cale looking at the CRSF members that are discussing about something with enthusiastic expression.

Hmm, do you mean they have a connection with you?”

-      It’s not a connection like you are thinking but just having a similar preference or taste. And they seems to be a fun people.

    Cale decided to ignore it, but what Jour Thames feels is more like how someone feels the connections when you’re with someone who has a similar preference or mindset. Like the proverb ‘birds with same feathers flock together’, that’s how she feels about the CRSF members.

“How is your writing?” Cale asked Kim Dokja, Jung Minseob and Lee Sungkook.

       After listening to Kim Dokja information, they decided to help them to make the fake Book of Revelation. They borrowed few laptops from Clopeh who have a lot of laptops, cameras and other electronics devices in his spacial pocket. Of course Clopeh asked to help them but Kim Dokja decided to decline it because he had a bad feelings about what Clopeh would do in the fake Book of Revelation.

Jung Minseob pulled his hair and said, “Writing is so difficult… writers are great…”

“Just write roughly. We just need information that will attract them. Rather, an imperfect revelation might be easier to deceive the prophets. Mix the truth and lies.” Kim Dokja watched what Jung Minseob typed and added some information.

“Cale-nim, do you need our help? We just heard from Clopeh-nim that you need to write something similar to the Book of Revelation and we decided to help you.” CRSF members and some prophets came and offered their helps.

     With more people helping them, the work is progressing smoothly and much more easier.

    When Kim Dokja suggested to change the character name,

“You don’t have to worried about it. In fact, I tried to test some people by saying that this was a novel. But they didn’t understand it at all. It is like a NPC… No matter how serious I am, they just take it as a joke.” Jung Minseob said.

It was an unexpected piece of information. Kim Dokja surprised.

      Jung Minseob and the other apostles had spoken to characters several times about them being ‘supporting actors.’ Thinking about the reactions of the characters at the time…there was definitely something strange.

Kim Dokja suddenly felt uneasy when  he heard this. He opened his mouth. “…What is the difference between the characters and us?”

“Huh? Um… we are people in reality and characters are people in novels? Isn’t that the difference?”

     That answer makes Kim Dokja more confused. If what they are saying is true, then how could their Character List information suddenly appear after the updated. Besides they said that the others will be like NPC and won’t believe about the fact that this world was a novel but why Cale Henituse group and his followers seems to accepted it seriously?

    In Cale case, he had experience himself of being a novel character so he could accept the fact that this world is a novel. The other in his group is other worlders who are not restricted by some rules in this world and they trust in Cale decisions. While the fans circle are only giving their focus to their Godly Idols so they didn’t care for anything else besides their Godly Idols.

Kim Dokja looked at Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung for a moment.

[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated.]

[This person isn’t registered in ‘Character List.’]

[Currently collecting information about the corresponding figure.]

Fortunately, I still couldn’t see the information for both of them.

Yoo Sangah suddenly looked back at me and smiled. Lee Gilyoung also looked at Kim Dokja.

“What is it Hyung?”

“It is nothing.”

    I didn’t know why but I felt strangely relieved. Kim Dokja thought.

     Kim Dokja didn’t know that the fact about this world was a novel is being interpret differently by the fans.

“So Cale-nim is a character in a novel! That’s explains how beautiful he and his family are. It’s impossible for a normal person to have such beauty.” A CRSF member nodded.

“But don’t you feel annoyed that the writer is making the person named Yoo Jonghyuk as the main character? Whoever wrote that novel, don’t have a good creativity. Why would you not write our Godly Cale-nim as the main character?” Another member said with anger.

“Maybe the writer just know about Cale-nim greatness after writing few chapters so that writer starts to put our Cale-nim greatness in the novel.” Another member trying to calm down her friends.

“Now I feel a bit disappointed for not able to read it. But thinking about it that person name Kim Dokja said that novel is lacking readers. I think the most possible reason is because the writer not write our Godly Idols as the main character. If the writer wrote it, I dare to bet that the readers will be more than 1,000,000 at least.” One of the prophets said with disappointed tone.

“I think you’re right.” Another prophet nodded in agreement.

    As their keep working while discussing about the Book of Revelation in different ways. Soon after they finish the novel.

    The quality turned out much better than their expected. Because there’s some (fanfic) writer and the other who often writes the verbatim records in CRSF members, it feels like the novel even turned out more interesting than the original.

“Let’s first sprinkle the information that the Book of Revelations has been leaked.” Kim Dokja said.

Lee Sungkook asked. “Is there enough time to spread the information?”

“Donghoon will take care of it. If we take advantage of the Hermit Invalid, it can be spread in a short amount of time.”

“Oh, Donghoon… I see. But what if not all stations are capable of the Internet?”

“Do you said internet!!!” The CRSF members are looking at Kim Dokja and Lee Sungkook with a shining eyes.

“Clopeh-nim will be happy if he heard about it!” One of them said with enthusiastic expression.

Shit!!! I forgot about their craziness! Kim Dokja feels chills at his back.

“...T-The internet is only available to few people. The range of the connections also limited. Besides the one who able to get the connections is not here so we can’t make everyone have it.” Kim Dokja tried to reason about the internet and prevented them to meet with Han Donghun.

    I will not let this crazy stan tell Clopeh Sekka and meet him as he will  destroy this world. Kim Dokja swear in his mind.
