It has been half a year since they came back from the train with an unconscious Kim Dokja while witnessing him being scattered into millions of pieces.
Han Sooyoung was writing a novel during that time for Yoo Jonghyuk to spread on another worldlines.
While all of these are happening, in a certain corner of a hospital room where Kim Dokja is currently bedridden sits a black haired man reading a book while drinking coffee.
[The Constellation 'Ruler of Eternal Rest' is watching you.]
The black haired man stops what he's doing and stared at the 'system' while frowning.
"I thought the 'system' is not functioning well because it's currently broken." muttered the black haired man.
[The Constellation 'Ruler of Eternal Rest' wants to make a deal with you.]
The brunet can't help but to raise a brow, "Deal? What deal?" asked the black haired man to the said Constellation.
[The Constellation 'Ruler of Eternal Rest' said it's a deal that can help 'incarnation' Kim Dokja.]
The Brunet's reddish-brown eyes became sharp as the Constellation mentioned Kim Dokja. His lips formed a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"What's the catch Constellation-nim?" The brunet couldn't help but feel iffy while asking the Constellation.
[The Constellation 'Ruler of Eternal Rest' said that you just need to...]
Meanwhile...
In the bed where a certain squid is laid, a finger twitched while a sole tear slid down his temple.
The sounds of the sirens whaling can be heard outside the apartment complex where Kim Dokja live.
Armed men are reprimanding his mother who isn't even putting up a fight. Amidst the commotion an 11 years old kid and a 19 years old teen are talking close contact with each other.
"Dokja-ya, you need to stay strong while Sookyung ajumma is away okay?" The brunet told Kim Dokja while wiping his tears.
"B-but hyung, fa*hic*father would always raise his hand when mother is defending me. Father i-is the one who *hic* did something wrong. *hic* So, why are they ho*hic*holding mother like that?" Dokja stuttered while sobbing.
The brunet teen just cupped Kim Dokja's face and stared into his doe eyes, "Dokja-ya..." the brunet muttered while embracing the Kid not knowing what to do in this situation.
Eyes slowly fluttering open the first thing he saw was a familiar white ceiling.
Scanning the area he was in and confirming that no one is present, Kim Dokja slowly sits up on the hospital bed he was on while groaning because of his stiff body.
"Ugh, how long was I asleep for my body to be this stiff." muttered the reader while frowning forgetting that he had a child's body a while ago.
Kim Dokja scanned the room once again and noticed a half empty cup and an opened book laying on top of the table on the corner of the room.
He stared there for how long and snapped out of his stupor when the door suddenly burst open.
"Hyung!"
"Ajussi!"
"Dokja-ssi!"
Kim Dokja's eyes widened when suddenly he was tackled by the sobbing Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung, he couldn't help but groan at the heavy impact he received.
Kim Dokja looked at his other companions while petting Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung.
He saw Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye looking at him teary eyed while Lee Hyunsung was sniffling. He saw how Yoo Sangah was looking at him with chaotic eyes. Kim Dokja observed Han Sooyoung and Yoo Jonghyuk's indescribable expression and wanted to laugh.
He opened his mouth and tried to talk to them but couldn't get any voice to come out.
"Here, I know your throat must've been very dry." Han Sooyoung handed him a cup of water while observing his every actions.
He looked at the one who gave him a cup of water and smiled, mouthing a 'thank you' while the latter just grumbled.
"Hey squid, it's really you right? Not just some avatar that you left behind. Right?" Han Sooyoung asked displaying anxiousness through her eyes.
After drinking the whole cup of water, Dokja nonchalantly answered, "Yes, it's really me Han Sooyoung-ssi. No, I'm not an avatar... this time." While sheepishly smiling.
"If it's really you, how many chapters does 'Ways of Survival' have?" Han Sooyoung retorted just to make sure that they aren't being fooled again.
"It have 3,149 chapters Sooyoung-ssi, does that prove that I'm really me?" Kim Dokja answered while smiling not only at her but to all his companions.
Han Sooyoung can feel her eyes became teary, her sole reader is really back.
As they rejoice with the squid coming back, Kim Dokja noticed someone missing. He scanned again to prove his speculation.
"Uhh guys? Have you seen Hyung?" Asked the reader while having a very bad feeling at the moment.
Lee Seolhwa who was just spectating near the door pointed toward the table only for it to be empty leaving only an opened book and half empty cup. "He was just there, he, he didn't come out of this room the whole day."
Kim Dokja's eyes shook, he's having a very bad feeling that is telling him that the brunet is somewhere far.
"Sookyung ajumma, did you see him come out the room?" Lee Seolhwa asked Lee Sookyung, Kim Dokja's mom, who was with her to check on Kim Dokja every now and then but only earned a "no" as an answer.
Kim Dokja felt shivers run down his spine.
"Rok Soo hyung, where are you?" Kim Dokja muttered with eyes clouded while biting his nails.
Meanwhile in Another Universe in the Kingdom of Roan, Rain City, a Certain red haired noble is cussing because of a sudden surge of headache while he was giving bread to the gluttonous tree.
"F*ck! Ugh." Said the red head while grabbing his hair.
After a while, the red heads reddish-brown eyes became clear because the headache became bearable.
"Huff huff... Kim Dokja?" The red head muttered, confused while frowning.
