Kim Dokja consciousness flickered again. A message popped up as a king’s qualification was added.

[King’s Qualification]

1. 「 The owner of the throne should be braver than anyone else. 」

-The Absolute Throne never wants a ‘weak king.’ To challenge the throne, you must own at least a black flag.

2. 「 He who dreams of the throne must desire it. 」

-The number of ‘kings’ that can challenge the throne is decided. In order to gain the right to challenge it, you must remove the other kings around you.

3. 「 A single king stands alone without any help. 」

-The king who can challenge the throne must be able to prove his strength was just his body.

[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is calmly watching the situation.]

[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ is cheering for the upper-grade constellations.]

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is laughing.]

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ scoffs at the upper-grade constellations.]

The constellations had opposite reactions unlike other times. It was because the constellations had different ranks.
The gap between upper-grade and narrative-grave was like the difference between a child and an adult.

That’s why the reaction of the constellations watching the broadcast differed. Like adults not paying attention to a child’s game of hide-and-seek, this scenario was meaningless for constellations above narrative-grade.

But the upper-grade constellations were different.

In this scenario, the triumphant upper-grade constellation would climb to the absolute throne and build up their ‘story.’ This was why the upper-grade constellations were impatient once the King’s Qualification scenario began.

Kim Dokja opened his eyes and the King’s Battlefield began.

[From now on, all kings can’t receive the support of their sponsor.

[From now on, the attack and defense of all items will be limited.]

[From now on, all skills, stigmas and special item options will be sealed.]

[From now on, the total stats of all kings will change to 10/10/10/10/10.]

[The Last King’s Qualification will continue until one person is left.]

The last king’s test. It was an extreme trial that had to be overcome with your body only.

The floor of Gwanghwamun was a mess. The Absolute Throne was in the centre while the kings were fighting each other.

King of Beauty, Min Jiwon.

The Maitreya King Cha Sangkyung.

Supreme King Yoo Jonghyuk.

Then the middle-aged man in the corner.

He was the Neutral King. The Neutral King raised his hands as he met Kim Dokja eyes.

[The Neutral King has abstained from fighting for the throne.]

As the name suggested, the Neutral King wasn’t greedy for the throne. Only the remaining three were greedy.

One of the three was Yoo Jonghyuk so the fight should’ve ended in less than a minute. At least, if it was the original story.

“Die!”

Maitreya King Cha Sangkyung’s leg split apart the air while Yoo Jonghyuk’s kick struck Cha Sangkyung’s abdomen.
“Kuk!”

However, Cha Sangkyung wasn’t as damaged as expected. It was because all stats were changed to level 10. The skills were sealed so Yoo Jonghyuk had to win the battle with just his flesh memories.

Min Jiwon looked behind them and saw Kim Dokja.

Kim Dokja nodded slightly at her.
“We meet again.”

“…Yes. I didn’t want to fight you if possible.”

Min Jiwon must’ve filled the other king’s qualifications if she came to this place.

It was great. Kim Dokja honestly didn’t think she could survive until the end.
“If you don’t abstain, I will attack.”

“Try it. Do you think it will be easy?”
We have to fight with all our stats at level 10 with no skills or no stigma. It was too shabby compared to the kings who broke the city while fighting a while ago.

There was a loud noise and Cha Sangkyung screamed, “Cough! W-Why…?”

Cha Sangkyung rolled around painfully on the floor after being struck by Yoo Jonghyuk’s fist. It had been an equal fight until then but something was changing little by little

Skills and stigmas couldn’t be used but Yoo Jonghyuk’s attacks were getting faster and harder. It wasn’t merely Yoo Jonghyuk’s combat sense.

Min Jiwon became surprised as she noticed.
“…How?”

If I remembered correctly, Yoo Jonghyuk knew the loophole of the last phase. Maybe these messages were currently rising in Yoo Jonghyuk’s mind.

[400 coins have been invested in physique.]

[400 coins have been invested in agility.]

[400 coins have been invested in strength.]

The funny thing  was that this battlefield controlled everything except for one factor. It was the use of the coins.

[The constellation ‘ Lady of the Brocade Sleep’ questions the fairness of the scenario.]

The intermediate dokkaebi laughed. It’s different intermediate dokkaebi from the one that they met in the dungeon.

[Haha, what is your question? It is a natural right to be able to use coins. The ‘coins’ are the hard-earned work of the incarnations. They worked so hard to gather coins that they should have a chance to use it.]

Yoo Jonghyuk was raising his stats using his coins.

[Oh, the stats increased with the coins will be reset after the scenario is over. So be careful! It is like throwing away coins into the air! Hahahat!]

Min Jiwon and Cha Sangkyung’s complexions darkened once they heard the words of the intermediate dokkaebi.

Perhaps they didn’t have much coins remaining. It was natural. They wouldn’t be able to save coins in the battlefield between kings.

But Yoo Jonghyuk was different. Yoo Jonghyuk grew by breaking through all types of hidden scenarios from the beginning and always carried an appropriate amount of coins in reserve.

The original third round Yoo Jonghyuk had around 30,000 coins at this point. Now he had more coins than the original story so… it should be around 40,000?

There was the loud sound of somebody being hit and Cha Sangkyung’s body flew through the air.

[The Maitreya King Cha Sangkyung is out of combat.]

Yoo Jonghyuk looked at the nearby Min Jiwon. She jumped with surprised and hurriedly raised both hands.
“…I will abstain.”

[’King of Beauty’ Min Jiwon has abstained from the battle.]

Finally, Yoo Jonghyuk turned towards Kim Dokja. His angry eyes calmed down. It was understandable. If he took the Absolute Throne, he could control all kings and it wouldn’t be a problem to get his sister back from Kim Dokja.

But would that happen?

“Yoo Jonghyuk.”

We aimed out swords at each other. Kim Dokja couldn’t use any skills so he had to rely on my flesh memories and his stats.

For the first time, Yoo Jonghyuk’s blade was visible.
It must be a fake. He was estimating my stats and how much coins Kim Dokja had left. He was truly a prudent person. It was a trick to win by investing the minimum amount of coins.

However, Yoo Jonghyuk pride would cause his defeat this time. It was because there wasn’t any king in Seoul who had more coins than Kim Dokja right now.

[Coins Possessed: 80,850 C]

Well, it’s not as much as Cale Henituse followers but it’s still enough to defeat him. I really lucky because they don’t have any interest to be a king. Kim Dokja remembered about how much coins Naru (Cale) got before.

What would happen if even one of his followers participated. Kim Dokja feels goosebumps as he think about the possibility.

As his distance with Yoo Jonghyuk getting closer,

Who would think that I had 80,000 coins? Kim Dokja laughed at Yoo Jonghyuk who was running towards him.

“I’ll hit you gently so please don’t die.”
Now was the time to spend big. Kim Dokja invested a large number of coins into ‘strength.’

[4,000 coins have been invested in strength.]

[Strength Lv. 10 -> Strength Lv. 20]

[5,000 coins have been invested in strength.]

[Strength Lv. 20 -> Strength Lv. 30]

[6,000 coins have been invested in strength.]

[Strength Lv. 30 -> Strength Lv. 40]
...

[11,000 coins have been invested in strength.]

[Strength Lv. 80 -> Strength Lv. 90]

[12,000 coins have been invested in strength.]

[Strength Lv. 90 -> Strength Lv. 100]

[72,000 coins have been consumed.]

[Your ‘strength’ has broken through the limits of a human.]

[The achievement has been processed! You are the first to achieve a three digit level in strength.]

[30,000 coins have been acquired as a reward.]

Kim Dokja adjusted the power in my fist. A strike containing 100 strength was enormous. It would be difficult if he accidentally killed Yoo Jonghyuk.

Kim Dokja felt the space around my fist bend slightly. According to Ways of Survival, all stats had different destructive power from the moment they broke through the three digits.

How did it feel? Of course, it felt like I was a killer. It felt like my fist was holding a check for a billion won. What will it felt like if I have half amount of Cale Henituse coins? But it’s something impossible for me. Kim Dokja thought.

Of course he didn’t know that Cale have more than ten million coins and it’s still keep growing.

Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes widened as he hurriedly used coins. However, it was too late. There was a sound like a sonic boom.
Yoo Jonghyuk shot into the sky like a baseball being hit by a bat.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to hit a home room in this stadium. The flying Yoo Jonghyuk hit a barrier, bounced in the opposite direction and hit another barrier and landed on the ground after repeating this ping-pong action five or six times.

…Surely he wasn’t dead? Kim Dokja ran towards Yoo Jonghyuk with a bit of confusion in my heart.

Damn, why did I do this? I should’ve used a bit less strength. Kim Dokja carefully pulled Yoo Jonghyuk off the ground. Then.

Ah, this was a main character. Yoo Jonghyuk was staring at Kim Dokja with wide open eyes. He was still conscious despite being hit by a punch filled with 100 strength?

“…Yoo Jonghyuk?”

“…”

“Jonghyuk?”

“…”

His eyes didn’t move. This bastard, did he faint with his eyes open? Did I hit him that hard? No, I would have to keep hitting Yoo Jonghyuk in the future.

“Well, you will be in trouble if you keep acting as usual. How can you say to kill me every time you see me?”

Kim Dokja slapped his swollen face.

Somehow, Kim Dokja felt his eyes move whenever he hit him, causing him to feel nervous…

In any case, he was breathing. The bones in his body were broken and he was bleeding…

It was a situation where he couldn’t use the Recovery skill so his life could be in danger.

I had to do my work quickly.

[Supreme King Yoo Jonghyuk is out of combat.]

[Congratulations! You have passed all the tests of the Absolute Throne.]

The ward in the air slowly disappeared.

[The temporary stats added by the coins are reset.]

[All constraints on the kings have disappeared.]
_______________________________

After Naru (Cale) exited the dungeon,

When they are getting out from the museum, they saw few groups of people looking at the museum.

They’re the remains of the defeated kings. When they think about stealing from the seven persons who just left the dungeon,

“Young Master-nim, have you finished the important thing inside?” A voice that came closer to the dungeon entrance and a group of people approaching hurriedly.

The CRSF members and the other followers quickly came and welcomed them.

“You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”

“Did anyone annoyed you inside the dungeon?”

“LEADER!!! Please let me see everything that you got inside!”

“Ji-Hu-ssi, can you...” Kim Mi Sun stopped as she looked at Hyun Ji-Hu condition.

“What happened?” Moon Chun-Hee asked the leader about Hyun Ji-Hu condition.

Hyun Ji-Hu who came out from the dungeon while being dragged by Yun Jeong-Suk seems to focusing on her notebook which she keeps writing on.

“Don’t worry about it. She is getting a lot of inspiration before we get out from the dungeon. It’s seems to be related with constellation ‘First Dragon Slayers’, maybe you’ll find out if you peek at the notes she’s writing.” Yun Jeong-Suk said as she already adapted with Hyun Ji-Hu behavior in the dungeon.

Some of them try to peek at Hyun Ji-Hu notebook because they are interested with her writing.

They read it with serious face after reading the first sentence.

What written inside was:

temp. Title : Forbidden Relationships Between Dragon and Dragon Slayer

***
Choi Han was a dragon slayer. He was traveling the Continent to kill every evil dragon that eat or kill humans.

He thinks that every dragon were arrogant, wicked, selfish and evil because they are the strongest beings in the world. That's why he wanted to kill all of the dragons so there won't be any victims like him.

When he arrived at a farming village he met Cale who introduced himself as a traveling doctor that stayed for some time in that village. Cale was someone that the villagers love and respect because he always helps everyone in the village.

At first Choi Han think that Cale was a dragon because of Cale appearance but his suspicious lessen as he saw how Cale and the villagers interact.

Well, Choi Han suspicions is actually right because Cale was a dragon that likes to live with human. Of course Cale hide his identity to ensure his safety.

After listening to Choi Han story, Cale thinking of changing his views about the dragon.

Cale told Choi Han that dragon, human or dragon slayer are the same as there are the good ones and the bad ones.

As they keep arguing about their views, Cale decided to follow Choi Han to prevent him from killing the innocent dragon.

That’s how their journey begins.
***

“I think this is a good story!” Some people who peeking at Hyun Ji-Hu notebook muttered.

“Hmm, it’s just the synopsis, right? I can’t wait for the final version.”

“Ji-Hu-nim is getting a great blessing from Our Godly Idols and she is sharing it with us. As expected of the high rank members.”

“Let’s wait patiently for another divine manuscripts.”

When they are busy welcoming (or asking for sharing their recordings) the dungeon party members,

A hologram screen appeared and broadcast the King’s Battlefield.

“Isn’t that Yoo Jonghyuk!?”

“There’s also that chuni queen.”

“That ugly squid is Kim Dokja-ssi, right?”

“Who’s that baldie? Is he wanted to cosplay but don’t know how to do it? I felt like looking at something strange like mixing a monk and pirate together.”

“That middle age man existence seems to be fading or it’s just because I never tried to look at others when I can keep watching Our Godly Idols directly.”

“They started to fighting.”

“Wow that Yoo Jonghyuk was unexpectedly strong. But I think he’s weaker than Choi Han-nim.”

“Do you think that Yoo Jonghyuk have some feelings to Kim Dokja-ssi? Just look at how intense he is looking at him!”

“Look at him running towards him. Do you think that Kim Dokja-ssi should be welcoming with open hands to embrace him?”

“I hope that Cale-nim and Alberu-nim are the one who did it.”

“Don’t you think it’s cuter when Choi Han-nim that running towards Cale-nim with a puppy ear?”

“Ah..., why do he hit him?”

“As expected his heart is as ugly as how he looks. Well although Yoo Jonghyuk not as great as Our Godly Idols, he still can be categories as handsome. How can he hit a handsome man like that!?”

“Wow, look at him bitch slapped him.”

“Looks like he's really just shy or surprised by Yoo Jonghyuk sudden attacks.”

“Um..., are you dubbing their battle noona?” Amaris confused by the others words as they watched the battle. It’s kinda reminded him with the some comments in social media or reading some websites forums.

They just having fun commenting the show in their own imagination as they didn’t care about other things that not related with their Godly Idols as they don't want to disturbing their Godly Idols serious(?) discussion.

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ applauds your actions.]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ admires your patience.]

[4,500 coins have been sponsored.]

I also heard the messages of the upper-grade constellations.

[The constellation ‘Lady of the Brocade Sleep’ is regretful.]

[The constellation ‘One-eyed Maitreya’ has thrown away his eyepatch.]

[The constellation ‘Founder of Hannamgun’ feels a grudge towards you.]

Of course, the kings of the three kingdoms blamed me. Thanks to me, they missed an opportunity to jump to the ‘narrative’ grade. Kim Dokja looked at the notification.

[…Oh, a surprising winner has appeared.]
The intermediate dokkaebi looked somewhat dissatisfied.

He hadn’t expected me to win. Yet I had won.

[Well… good. This is the result. Now, I am informing all incarnations of Seoul. Just now, a new owner of the Absolute Throne was born!]

Kim Dokja stopped the intermediate dokkaebi who was about to launch the system messages.

“Wait a minute.”

[…What do you want?]
The dokkaebi’s eyebrows twitched.

“You are too hasty. I haven’t even sat on the throne yet. Shouldn’t you ask me first?”

[You will go up now so does it matter?]

Kim Dokja approached the Absolute Throne. At this moment, he felt all constellations observing the Seoul Dome focus on him.

The Absolute Throne floating in the sky slowly descended towards Kim Dokja. It showed off its golden charm like it had been waiting for me for a long time.

Kim Dokja asked the intermediate dokkaebi,

“What can I do with this?”

[You can do anything to humans.]

It was short but scary.

[The Absolute Throne is just the name of the item. As long as you sit on the throne, you can become an omnipotent power. No one on this earth can stand against you and everyone will bow before you!]

The people looked at Kim enviously after hearing the dokkaebi’s explanation. Except for a certain group of people.

It was natural to envy Kim Dokja. Everybody had run to this place for this reason.

[The constellation ‘Lady of the Brocade Sleep’ is licking her lips.]

Even the constellations…

It was really pitiful and strange. They felt envious despite knowing the real identity of the item. Kim Dokja really disliked the constellations.

“Is that all?”

[…Huh?]

“It is too good that it is ridiculous. I will enjoy absolute power on the land that I control.”

[Isn’t it right to receive a reward in return for suffering? How many times have you almost died due to the throne…?]

“Ah, so the throne can act beyond the constraints of plausibility?”

[What?]

“You are good at lying. Aren’t you a dokkaebi? Won’t the Bureau say something if you scam me like this?”

The expression of
