By the time I realized, Song Minwoo was immediately in front of me. It was a tremendous speed. His agility must be at least above level 40 in order to achieve this speed.
“You?” He asked in a tearful voice. This guy had already finished his transition to an outside species.
[The 6th grade outside species, Song Minwoo has triggered ‘A Predator’s Threat Lv. 5!’]
[The character ‘Han Sooyoung’ has used ‘Mental Barrier Lv. 3’.]
[The character ‘Han Sooyoung’ has alleviated some of the effects of A Predator’s Threat.]
In a moment, his hand shot out and grabbed Han Sooyoung’s throat.
“Keok…”
Han Sooyoung might not be in a perfect physical condition but it was too much for her to be suppressed at once.
The 6th grade outside species. It was the worst enemy to deal with right now.
Being surrounded by the werewolves that prevented us to run away while the leaders were trying to kill us.
It was different compared to the 5th grade fire dragon. At that time, my ice attribute overwhelmed the fire attribute and I could take advantage of the dull movements of the big monster.
But now…
I glanced at the cultists behind me...there’s some distance, but...
They’re fine despite under the pressure of the skill.
“Should we help them?”
“Let’s just watched first.”
“I don’t care even that werewolf kill the first apostle.”
“You still have grudges from before?”
“Of course, I almost died from the dragon attack on Anguk Station.”
“But...didn’t Jinho-ssi meet Our Godly Idols because of that?”
“That’s...”
“Why don’t we leave it to both of them and only help if they need it?”
“Ji-Hu-nim, can I read your novels?”
“Here, please let me know if there is any opinions. I am writing few new stories because of their blessings.”
I feel like a fool for hoping to get their help.
Song Minwoo stared at me. “Did you break my coin farm?”
The tone was certain despite it being a question.
“...”
Should I tell him that the cultists behind me is the one who destroyed the coin farm because they want to vent their anger?
Han Sooyoung screamed the moment she saw Song Minwoo’s white fangs. “Shit, kill him quickly!”
I used Blade of Faith while Han Sooyoung used Avatar. At almost the same time, Song Minwoo’s powerful kick arrived. The just created Avatar’s head burst while I went flying through the air.
[The 6th grade outside species, Song Minwoo has triggered ‘Accelerate Lv. 5!’]
Song Minwoo’s fist followed at a speed that was almost invisible. Head, shoulders, belly. The onslaught poured out towards those areas. Air burst out from me.
Han Sooyoung’s voice cried out, “Kim Dokja!”
…No, even if this was an outside species, how could he be so strong? It was too late to avoid the blow. I hurriedly raised my overall stats.
[16,000 coins have been invested in stamina.]
[Stamina Lv. 24 -> Stamina Lv. 50]
[A giant-like physical fitness fills your body.]
The pain quickly dwindled and it reached the point where I could tolerate it. But the situation wasn’t over.
“Kim Dokja? Where did I hear that name?” I heard Song Minwoo mumbling.
I could see this face through my defenses and that was the problem. This guy wasn’t strong. The problem was me.
[The effect of A Predator’s Threat has reduced your will to fight.]
[A Predator’s Threat has slowed down your movements.]
It was ridiculous. I overcame the threat of the 5th grade fire dragon only to be affected by this guy?
It was impossible. I had the Fourth Wall…
[The exclusive skill, ‘Fourth Wall’ is shaking.]
This situation had happened once before.
It happened when I fought Yoo Jonghyuk in the Theatre Dungeon and when I was immersed in Yoo Jonghyuk’s first person view… but now Yoo Jonghyuk wasn’t here. So why?
Song Minwoo roared and raised his claws. “…Kinda familiar. Do I know you?”
–Hey, Kim Dokja. What is this?
A familiar voice overlapped with the same voice.
[The exclusive skill, ‘Fourth Wall’ is shaking.]
I grabbed his wrist and answered, “I don’t know.”
“Really? I think I remember.”
–Stop reading and go and get me some bread. Yes?
[The 6th grade outside species, Song Minwoo has triggered ‘Memory Enhancement Lv. 3!’]
“I know you.”
“Wow, that werewolf said he knew him!”
“Do you think it will become something that similar to those romantic stories? But sadly our Godly Idols are not here.”
…Dammit. Why do they keep calmly spouting those nonsense?
[The exclusive skill, ‘Fourth Wall’ is shaking.]
I see. Now I knew what the Fourth Wall skill was.
There was a smile on Song Minwoo’s face. “Strange. How does a geek like you survive up to this point? You were reading a novel every day.”
“…”
“Haha, you are that person. Aren’t you the guy who was beaten up by me while reading a novel in your spare time? Don’t you remember?”
I remembered. Of course I remembered. A late rage filled my head.
“You are Song Minwoo. You should remember the face of your old school friend right? It is good. I was wondering if you were still alive.”
When I was 17, I used to think that if I had the strength, I would tear apart this guy in front of me.
Song Minwoo kept talking. “The novel you were reading at that time. Where can I see it?”
The moment I heard this, a scene came to my mind. I had been sitting in my seat and scrolling through the novel when he hit me.
…Perhaps?
–This otaku, you are reading this? Is this fun? It is laughable.
Of course, the novel I was reading at that time…
Song Minwoo’s fist struck my abdomen and my body flew through the air. The moment I slammed into the outer wall of a building, Han Sooyoung’s avatars attacked Song Minwoo. The exterior wall of the destroyed building fell on me.
“Oh, is that why you are so beaten up?”
“I was just thinking for a while.”
[Many constellations are relieved.]
“Did you hear that?”
“I understand that werewolf feelings. His ugliness is making me want to hit him few times as it ruining my good time for appreciating our Godly Idols beauty.”
“Ji-Hu-nim, can you turn it into your story?”
“Of course, but I still need to get more inspiration for turning it into good story.”
“I really like this part. Can you show me the continuation?”
“Which part?”
"This part."
***
Alberu fall asleep when he reminiscent about the past.
He felt something binding his body and opened his eyes.
What he saw is his sleeping Dongsaeng who hug him tightly as he sleeps while mumbling something like “...don’t leave me alone.”
My Dongsaeng seems to have a nightmare.
Alberu looked at his dear Dongsaeng and cares his head while hoping that his nightmare will disappeared.
***
“I have not get any inspiration for the continuation so I am writing another story to refresh my mind. But sadly I got separated from them because of that unrefined dokkaebis.”
[Some constellations nodded at your words.]
[Some constellations hope you will get the Godly Idols blessing soon.]
[Some constellations already sent a lot of complaints to the Bureau.]
[Some constellations...]
Let’s ignored those crazy cultists.
The Fourth Wall was a skill that made reality like a novel. Then it was obvious why the wall was shaking. It was because I currently regarded Song Minwoo as ‘reality.’ He was the asshole who beat me up and made my teen years a tragedy.
“…Do you know that bastard?” She was a writer and a really quick female. I stared at her and the hesitating Han Sooyoung hurriedly added. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to hear it but the words he said to you…”
I replied honestly to the person who had Lie Detection. “Yes, I know him.”
“I can roughly guess…”
“That bastard. He is obviously a trauma.”
“…Where is the obvious trauma? A trauma is serious.”
Han Sooyoung stated as she spat out blood.
“Then what is the problem? Han Sooyoung, you can help me awaken. If you tell me a few words from Ways of Survival, won’t I awaken?”
“Do you think I’m Lee Hyunsung?”
In the end, I had to solve this problem myself. I would have a hard time going forward if the Fourth Wall shook every time I met a person who stimulated my traumas.
Above all, I was 28 years old right now. I wasn’t a 17 year old who was flustered by a bully.
[A constellation who likes revenge has revealed his own modifier.]
[The constellation ‘One who Overcomes the Late Trials’ is cheering for you.]
[Some constellations are in agreement.]
[A bounty scenario has occurred!]
+
[Your total stats have almost reached the limit of this scenario.]
I grabbed Song Minwoo’s neck.
[The exclusive skill, ‘Fourth Wall’ is shaking.]
Whenever I looked at this guy’s face, I felt the ‘17 year old Kim Dokja’ inside me shrink back.
Poor thing. From now on, I would get revenge for ‘him.’
“Minwoo, I didn’t greet your properly earlier.”
“What…?”
“It is nice to see you.”
I hit him in the stomach.
“Kuheeok!”
“By the way, I was in pain a lot back then.”
The 17 year old Kim Dokja was watching me in my memories. Feel free to watch.
“If you have a conscience, shouldn’t you apologize first?”
I held him with one hand and continued to punch. The chest, the stomach and the face.
“What is wrong with reading a novel? Eh? Did I harm you?” On behalf of the 17 year old Kim Dokja, I hit him again and again. “Bastard, I even used some money to buy the books.”
His teeth were broken, his chest muscles damaged and his bones shattered. The nearby werewolves growled at the assault but couldn’t come close. I was giving out a Predator’s Threat despite not using any skill.
10 minutes passed before Song Minwoo started begging.
Grrr! “S-Sorry, I’m sorry…!”
“Really? You’re sorry?”
“Yes! I’m really really sorry! I-I was young at the time…”
Of course he was. I knew. That degree of malice was understandable in his immature days. But.
“You must be mistaken… I wasn’t trying to get an apology.” This was something that couldn’t be understood or forgiven. “In the first place, I’m not the one you should apologize to.”
“Woah! He really able to beat that werewolf.”
“But...if it was some romance stories, the bully would usually said something like ‘I do that because I love you’ or something like ‘I just want you to remember me’ but sadly it won’t turned into such things.”
“...I think if we changed him into Cale-nim...ugh...it makes me really angry as I want to kill anyone who dare to try to bully Our Young Master-nim!”
“Just dying is not enough! They need to be torture until they really repents for all of their sins.”
Whimper...
The other werewolves that seems to be Song Minwoo followers are scared by the crazy cultists killing intents.
My back feels chills as the crazy cultists started to emanated their killing intents but I decided to ignore them.
I just realized how foolish of me to be scared by Song Minwoo. How can I scared by him when there are some people who were much more scarier behind me. Besides they're someone who will dare kill the dokkaebis and constellations if they make them angry.
In fact, Han Sooyoung was right. There was no obvious trauma in this world.
All trauma was severe for the person involved so I didn’t think these actions would completely eliminate my trauma.
I would often have nightmares as the 17 year old Kim Dokja repeated the tragedy of that time.
Still, this might be a bit comforting. Just like when I read Ways of Survival back then.
The 28 year old Kim Dokja might be able to help the 17 year old KIm Dokja escape from the nightmare for a short time.
“Keok! Cough! S-Stop… stop…”
Just like ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ was to me in those days.
“Keoook…”
How long did I hit him? Finally, there was a moment when I looked at Song Minwoo’s face and felt nothing.
[The exclusive skill, ‘Fourth Wall’s’ shaking has subsided.]
[You have met the conditions to clear the bounty scenario!]
“Do you want to kill him?”
A sounds that familiar to me came from above.
It’s Cale Henituse who gracefully landing after jumping from near by building roof.
“IT’S THE REAL CALE HENITUSE-NIM!!!”
“They are right! He is really greater than God. How can someone be so stunning and wonderful? Only Cale-nim able to do such splendor.”
“Ugh my heart...”
The new followers that join the cult after being saved from the coin farm are going crazy.
“YES!!! Thank you so much for the blessings!”
“I’m glad that I was holding a camera.”
The crazy cultists started to clasped their hands like praying as they saw Cale Henituse appearance.
One of them was holding a video camera and muttering something...
Han Sooyoung was scared by Cale Henituse sudden arrival.
She turned her head and looked at me and Song Minwoo and said.
“What a scary guy...you killed a werewolf with bare hands.”
“He hasn’t died yet. Didn’t you hear him asking me if I wanted to kill him?” I calmly replied Han Sooyoung words as the Fourth Wall stop shaking because my past trauma has been resolved.
[The constellation ‘One who Overcomes the Late Trials’ sends encouragement to you.]
[The constellation ‘One who Overcomes the Late Trials’ wants to give you his own stigma.]
Giving me a stigma? Really? The bounty scenario wasn’t a single constellation request so it was surprising to give a stigma as a reward.
Of course, I appreciated it.
[The stigma Self-rationalization has been acquired.]
[The constellation ‘One who Overcomes the Late Trials’ smiles with satisfaction at you who has succeeded his stigma.]
[You will now have a defense mechanism that won’t be bothered by any trauma.]
Thanks… I stared absentmindedly for a bit.
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is grabbing his belly and laughing.]
Self-rationalization? What did this mean? Are you kidding me?
“So do you want to kill them?” Cale Henituse repeat his question while looking at the werewolves with reminiscing look.
Did he know some werewolf in his world? What kind of fantasy world that they came from? Will he angry if I said ‘yes'?
“No, let’s go...” Kim Dokja answered while trying to use his skill.
[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint stage 2 has been activated!]
[Cale Henituse: They are different from the wolf tribe in our world. But what do you mean their aura are similar to the dead mana.]
Shit, I forgot that he was using this alien language.
[?? : My power keep wanting to purified them. 🔥]
[?? : Do you think it’s similar to energy from the statues in the Endable Kingdom before? 🪨]
[?? : Cale, do you want to purified them? Do you need to gather them in one place?🌪]
[?? : ...Cale, should I used my power to bind them? 🛡]
[?? (First Dragon Slayers): It might be similar power because there is demon in this world. Maybe they are demon followers. 🐲]
[?? : Those Gods and Demons are messing with people in this world too. Should we XXX those bastards?💧]
[Cale Henituse: There is too much of unknown elements in this world. I don’t know if the Ancient Powers will be able to purified it. That Kim Dokja seems to know something and he chose to let them go for some reason. Let’s just watched it first.]
As I try to read Cale Henituse mind but it just gives me more headaches as I can’t understand what is happened with those unknown words and he seems be speaking with more than one person in his mind. There is also that weird constellation, the ‘First Dragon Slayers’.
“Hey, did you really want to let him go?”
As I feel headaches because I try to read Cale Henituse's mind, Han Sooyoung questions make me came to my senses and stopped my skill.
“Yes.” I nodded.
[Some constellations are disappointed with your hypocrisy.]
[Many constellations are questioning your judgment.]
[The constellation Secretive Plotter is watching your judgment.]
“You really won’t kill him? Won’t this bastard have coins?”
“Yes.”
“Then can I kill him?”
“Go ahead. But won’t you regret it?”
“Regret?” I shrugged and walked towards her.
The cultists running so quick and already arrived near Cale Henituse position.
It’s quicker than Song Minwoo. How much coins that they spend on their agility? How could such crazy cultists get higher status than the main character? Even Yoo Jonghyuk is not that quick at this time. How can that writer never explained about it in the Ways of Survival? I think that my anger to the writer is also rising like the crazy cultists status.
“Cale-nim, I’m glad that I can meet you!”
“Cale-nim, I’m your fans. Can you give me your autograph?”
“Cale-nim, do you know about the other where about?”
As they asking Cale Henituse, another group running towards them.
“Hufft, finally I’m able to catch up.”
“Cale-nim, wait for me.”
“Uhh, my recording...hmm! I hope they’ll have the missing records of Cale-nim greatness.”
“Wait, Cale-nim. I want to repay you for your help. Let me help you.”
"Hufft...I...need to...repay your...help...huft..."
Ugh another cultists group and new followers...
Although it would be really save if I moved with them, but...I don’t want to move with them as it will be a stressful journey.
Right now the other werewolves already run away because of how scary the angry cultist members are before.
Cale Henituse pressure is also making them run farther and leaving their leader, Song Minwoo here. One of the werewolves even activated his skills to run as fast as possible.
When I turned my head to look at where Song Minwoo laying, Han Sooyoung avatar was there.
Yes. I thought Han Sooyoung would do this. I let her do what she want. In return, she would turn a blind eye to my hypocrisy.
Then after a while.
“Shit! What is this?”
Han Sooyoung gave a terrible scream and shook. I could tell the messages that were appearing in her head. Perhaps they would be messages like this:
[The 6th grade outside species ‘Song Minwoo’ has been killed and the demon king ‘Andras’ has noticed the murderer’s presence.
[The demon king Andras will remember the one who dealt the final blow.]
[The demon king Andras will search for the one who dealt the final blow.]
[Final Blow: Han Sooyoung]
Han Sooyoung looked at me with a pale face and I laughed.
“I told you that you would regret it.”
Song Minwoo was a member of the 72nd demon king, Andras’ household.
“Right, he already know this would happened.” Cale said with a small voice while nodding.
“!!!” Kim Dokja is really surprised after hearing that.
WHAT! He knew that!? I started to believe in that nonsense those cultists keep spouting about Cale Henituse being an Omniscient God. How can he know a lot of things?
