prophet. It was because I was the only reader of this story.

     [There is one minute to the end of the scenario.]
    Yoo Jonghyuk bowed his head and started to think.

「 A prophet will certainly be helpful. 」
[There are 50 seconds left to complete the scenario.]

「Not just the 46th scenario, but later when fighting the ‘chalatustra.’ But… can I really believe him? 」

[There are 40 seconds left to the end of the scenario.]
「 Companion. 」

     Finally, Yoo Jonghyuk raised his head as I stared at the clock with an irritated heart.

“I have decided. I will make you my companion.”

[Excessive immersion has severely worn out your mental strength.]

[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint has been turned off.]

     I wasn’t sure if it was due to fatigue or relief but the exclusive skill was released. Now Yoo Jonghyuk’s face was as difficult as a philosophy book with no commentary written.

     Yoo Jonghyuk started to take me across the ‘Even Bridge.’ Of course, I was still held by the collar but…I thought things would be all right now. I persuaded this damn regressor and was in a good position.

      We had almost crossed the Even Bridge and were right in front of the safe area when Yoo Jonghyuk suddenly stopped.

“I will ask you one last thing.”
“What?”
“If you are really a prophet, you should know your future. Isn’t that right?”

      The moment I saw Yoo Jonghyuk’s serene eyes, goosebumps broke out. His test wasn’t over yet. The grip holding my collar tightened.

     His hand raised me up a little bit and a gentle wind passed by my feet. Underneath me was completely empty.

      The smell of blood mixed in with the smell of Han River as the ichthyosaurs jumped towards their prey with open mouths.

“Will I let go of this hand or won’t I?”

      For the first time, I started sweating. Let me think. Even without his thoughts, I knew this guy more than anyone else. I closed my eyes and thought about Yoo Jonghyuk.

[There are 20 seconds left to the end of the scenario.]

Then I came to a conclusion.
“Yoo Jonghyuk.”

     I was certain about what he would do. No matter how I thought about it, there was no other ending when it came to Yoo Jonghyuk.
      I talked as I watched a sea commander approaching in the water.

“I will tell you two things first.”
“…What?”
“One, I’m not your subordinate. So I hope you will treat me fairly from now on.”
“…”
“Two, I will cooperate with you but you also have to promise to cooperate with me.”

    Yoo Jonghyuk looked at me with interest and nodded.

“Well, what is your answer?”

     I replied with a smile. “Get your hand off me and get lost, you damn jerk.”

      Then the power holding me disappeared. I was grabbed by the force of gravity. I saw Yoo Jonghyuk’s face as I was falling. Yoo Jonghyuk was smiling brightly like something made him happy.

Son of a bitch.

“I believe you. You are definitely a prophet.”

      Waiting for me at my crash point was the mouth of the giant sea commander.

      I closed my eyes from the shock of the impact along with the cold water of Han River. As I sucked in a breath, a warm and enormous darkness swallowed me up.

[You have failed to clear the scenario.]

Author's note: I really hope that I could publish 2-4 chapters every week, but I can’t promise it because of the problem that suddenly popped up. If I have 2-3 hours I'll try to upload the next chapter. I hope you enjoy the story.
