KIM DOKJA's POINT OF VIEW

[The exclusive skill Fourth Wall has attenuated the mental pain.]

One of the most painful deaths in the world was burning to death and I had just experienced it. The neurons in my brain seemed to emit light at once. The pain was slowly reduced. It was once again the Fourth Wall. I always felt strange when I escaped from trouble with the help of this skill. Ways of Survival had become a reality and I was living in it. Then... what was this 'wall' that I felt every time?

·····.

No, these thoughts were futile. I was safe thanks to the attribute 'King of No Killing' and had to move again. It was an attribute that could be gained only when the conditions of King of No Killing were met. Unlike its name, the privilege of the attribute was more like 'immortality' than 'no death.' It was conditional but... In any case, I would soon return to my flesh. At least that was what I thought.

[Due to a conflict error with your exclusive skill, the privilege of King of No Killing would be delayed.]

[Thanks to your death, your consciousness has been completely liberated from the constraints of your body.]

[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint stage 3 has been activated!]

「 "Damn, if only it wasn't him." 」

Huh? A skill conflict error? I was overcome with a dizzy feeling. No, wait a minute. What was happening this time? The dizziness flooded in and my vision brightened. Then I was watching a 'scene.'

「 Gong Pildu licked his lips as he observed the people around the platform. Now he couldn't run away. He thought about it but he knew better than anyone that he didn't dare to do so. "Um... Dokja Hyung." There was a weight pressing against his knee and Gong Pildu looked down. It was a boy around 10 years or so. 

A boy was sleeping on his thigh."Why am I like this...?" Gong Pildu wondered as he looked down at the sleepy Lee Gilyoung. His old memories surfaced. A young child. Lee Gilyoung was his daughter's age. He shook his head and sighed.

–Pildu-ssi, we should stop now...

–Daddy. How long are you going to keep talking about land?

There was a time when he was the breadwinner of the family. He earned money to feed his family and buy land. If he was lucky, he would become a landlord and then get tenants... Finally, he became a 'big investor' in Chungmuro but it didn't take long to find out that he couldn't keep his small family.

"Isn't this surprisingly okay? You get along well with people." He looked up to see beauty with a nice face. Yoo Sangah. Two days ago, this woman had become the deputy of Chungmuro. "Quickly stop talking nonsense." He grumbled at the woman.

"You were smiling just now..." Gong Pildu made a look of distaste. Yoo Sangah sat down hesitantly next to Gong Pildu. "Ahjusssi, how many times did you buy land?" Kim Namwoon stuck idly by their side, not too far not too close. "What?"

"When I look at the people in the Landlord Alliance, only you are the one with the 'Land Owner' attribute." Yoo Sangah spoke her mind, "...It isn't good to have a lot of lands. It needs to be a good land. You are naive." Gong Pildu shook his head at the woman. "Then what is good land?"

"Expensive land is good land." Gong Pildu look in a distance as he was saying this, "What type of land is expensive?" A question was asked again by the woman, "It is land that many people want." He had a far distant look on his face, "Was your land like that?" It wasn't land that he wanted. "Yes." Gong Pildu looked into Yoo Sangah's eyes.
