TCF X ORV - The Rise of Caleism in Another World

CHAPTER 23 - After the First Day of the Third Scenario

{Kim Dokja POV}

I breathed out roughly. There was a soft texture touching my cheek.

"Dokja-ssi!"

The fog faded and my vision became clear. The first thing that I saw was Yoo Sangah's face. Lee Hyunsung and Jung Heewon's worried faces also appeared.

"...The scenario?"

"It ended Dokja-ssi. We did it. We did it!"

...I see. We did it.

I looked at the agitated party members and tried to move my body. I had remained stiff for a long time and my muscles barely listened to me.

"Don't be...pleased."

"Huh?"

"Only one day has passed. Yesterday was the third day..."

Lee Hyunsung caught me as I tried to get up.

"Dokja-ssi! It isn't possible. You haven't slept at all."

"What time is it now?"

"It is 8:30 a.m. 30 minutes have passed since the scenario ended."

8:30... fortunately, not too much time passed. By the way, there was a face missing.

"Where is Gilyoung?"

"Ah, Gilyoung..."

Before Jung Heewon spoke, I already discovered where Jung Heewon was. Lee Jihye and Yoo Jonghyuk were looking down at Lee Gilyoung a few steps away.

...No, what was that bastard Yoo Jonghyuk doing?

At this moment, I remembered how Yoo Jonghyuk was surprised when he saw my party. Don't tell me, when Yoo Jonghyuk used Sage's Eyes...?

"When... you have chosen? Obvious never...before."

Due to the aftereffects of using the stone, Yoo Jonghyuk's voice wasn't heard properly. Then Lee Gilyoung started talking.

"It is okay."

"...You really won't go with me?"

"Yes."

"You can become much stronger with me than with him. You still won't go?"

"Yes. I won't."

"...Stupid kid."

Yoo Jonghyuk frowned and looked my way.

[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint stage 2 has been activated!]

「 ...Lucky guy. He will be helpful so let's keep him a little longer. 」

I wanted to say something but I had no energy in my body.

"Dokja hyung!"

Once he discovered that I woke up, Lee Gilyoung rushed towards me with swollen eyes. Yoo Jonghyuk's thoughts still rang in my head.

「 There is no time to delay. I have to finish the attack today. Otherwise... 」

...Attack? What was he talking about?

I had to think... Damn, I'm too tired. As I relaxed my body, the softness of the thigh I was lying on touched my cheek again.

"Yoo Sangah-ssi..."

"Y-Yes!"

"Sorry, I'm going to sleep a bit..."

Then I fell sleep. It was a sweet sleep without any dreams.

* * *

I woke up two hours later.

[Hey, how long are you going to sleep?]

I opened my eyes at the loud and unpleasant voice. This time, the texture against my cheek was much thicker and harder than before.

"...Ah, Dokja-ssi woke up."

Smiling lips. Jung Heewon was looking down at me.

"Yoo Sangah-ssi took a break. We didn't sleep well last night."

I turned my head and saw Yoo Sangah sleeping against a wall. Jung Heewon smiled.

"By the way, is Lee Hyunsung's thigh comfortable?"

I turned and saw Lee Hyunsung drooling.

"Today in the morning... the on-call officer will conduct the duties..."

...I thought the height of the pillow wasn't right. It turned out to be Lee Hyunsung's thigh. It was an army pillow with a bloody smell.

"Dokja hyung..."

I felt a heavy feeling on my stomach and looked down to see Lee Gilyoung leaning against me and sleeping.

The moment I carefully raised my body, I heard Bihyung's voice.

[Haha, you are awake? Then take this.]

Messages poured into my ears.

[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is sad about your trauma.]

[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is interested in your past.]

[The constellation Secretive Plotter is wondering about your mother.]

[The constellations have sponsored you 1,800 coins.]

...Sons of a bitches. They were trying to steal a peek at my past.

This wasn't the end.

[You have endured Chungmuro's night without the green zone.]

[You have accomplished the 'Never-ending Dawn' achievement at Chungmuro Station!]

[You have earned 1,000 coins as an achievement reward.]

[Coins Possessed: 22,650 C]

I had achieved the target amount. I didn't experience a hard night for nothing.
