{Kim Dokja POV}

“Ummm..., thank you for saving us.”
The people who is being captured are thanking us for destroying the coin farm.

“Can I follow you?”

“Eh! You are the famous fanfic writer, Hyun Ji-Hu-nim! I’m your fans. I really like all of your works.”

...I never thought that she was someone famous.

As we leave the coins farm,
I hadn’t intended to take Han Sooyoung with me at first. But after explaining about what happened to the five of Cale Henituse group followers, I changed my mind.

I can use Han Sooyoung for distraction or bait if his followers turned crazy like before.

Because her identity as the first apostle, it’s helping me divert their animosity to her. One of the five had a grudge to Han Sooyoung because he was one of the prophets who almost died in Anguk Station. The prophet with a body that almost like Lee Hyunsung is glaring at Han Sooyoung.

To be honest, Han Sooyoung was a bad person considering what she had done so far. However, her ‘avatar’ ability was quite useful and I had a few things to figure out. Most of all, she would be useful to clear the current sub scenario…and they get more followers by destroying the farm. There are three more people that enthusiastic talking to the five of them.

“I don’t have a spare battery. I lost everything in Gwanghwamun.”

“Then give me your novel.”

“No. Pay for it if you want to read it.”

“How am I supposed to pay when all the platforms are gone?”

I took her smartphone away from her. The upset Han Sooyoung clung to my shoulders and reached out an arm.

“What? Give it to me!”

The text version was on her desktop. She was relaxed.

“Eh! You are a writer!?” Hyun Ji-Hu said with shining eyes to Han Sooyoung.

[SSSSS-grade Infinite Regressor]

“Ah! So you are the one who wrote this novel. I really wanted to give you some part of your story. Let’s discuss it. How about helping me with my manuscript? Maybe you can give me some good ideas.”

As they dragged Han Sooyoung to discussing about writing novels,

Let’s see…

I nervously clicked on the app file. I wondered if her text version would be invisible to everyone else like mine.

However, that wasn’t the case. A page in the middle of the book appeared, like I had been reading the novel.

*  *  *

…Yoo Joonhyun quietly opened his status window. He wanted to check the Sage’s Eyes that he just received.

Yoo Joonhyun laughed as he confirmed his status window.

“Huhu, I finally got Sage’s Eyes. I am lucky this regression.”
*  *  *

I read up to there and looked at the frozen Han Sooyoung.

“Don’t you have a conscience?”

“…What?”

“Didn’t you copy the personal information from Ways of Survival? As a writer, shouldn’t you change the composition?”

“What!? Isn’t that plagiarism!” Hyun Ji-Hu surprised by my words and looked at Han Sooyoung with unbelievable expression.

Han Sooyoung hesitated for a moment before muttering, “Ways of Survival is a sponsor and mine is a star contract. It is completely different. And there is no comprehensive evaluation in my novel!”

“…Even so. Isn’t the name of the protagonist too much? It is like Joonhyun was a typo. Shouldn’t you change it more? The author of Ways of Survival would cry if he saw this.”

Han Sooyoung’s face turned red and she screamed, “It is just… no, so what? What are you curious about?”

“How many chapters of the original did you read?”

“99…hey! Can’t you give that back to me?” Angry Han Sooyoung took back her smartphone.

“Is what Kim Dokja-ssi said is true? How about joining our group? If you are blessed by Our Godly Idols, you will be able to write much more interesting stories than something like that.”

“That’s right. If you get Cale-nim blessing you will be able to do anything.”

“Right! I also able make this game after I meet Our Godly Idols.”

“Only one thing that you must always remember if you want to get Our Godly Idols blessings. It’s: ‘What ever Our Godly Idols said is always true. Even when they said normal crow is white and the albino crow is black.’ As long as you able to do that, you will get their blessings. Especially because Cale-nim is Omniscient!”

“Did you mean that famous super model Cale Henituse-nim?”

“So he really is a God! I know it that he isn’t normal person when the first time I saw how gorgeous his looks.”

“Can I meet him if I follow you?”

“Our first priority is to make a record for tells everyone about his great exploits. Look here, this is our latest record...”

They started to lecture Han Sooyoung and the new followers about their cult.

She read up to chapter 99?

What would the author think if he knew that the person who read Ways of Survival the most after me was a plagiarist?

Well, he was the one pleased by the views raised during the plagiarism controversy so he might say, “Thank you for reading up to chapter 99. You are a true reader.”

I sighed and asked Han Sooyoung who looking at me with a troubled look from that cultists lectures, “Chapter 99, then do you know the location of the meteorite in the fifth scenario? Didn’t it appear in your novel?”

“There is no such thing as a meteorite in my novel!” It was surprising. I thought she would’ve copied this as well. “I have a sealing stone!”

As expected.

“Then I am going to get the sealing stone, so be prepared.”

“You are going to get the meteorite?”

“Let’s unify the terms. Anyway, you know that I saved you?”

“I didn’t ask you…no, it should be them who are helping me because they destroyed that place.”

“Then will you join our group?”

“Right, with their blessings you will get salvation and happiness. Actually if you can meet them is already makes you able to die from happiness. But the non-believers seems to be unable to understand their greatness.”

“...Let me help you to find the sealing stone.” Han Sooyoung quickly change her mind after heard their words.

The meteorite containing the fire dragon was found by Han Sooyoung. I almost died because of this woman.

I ignored Han Sooyoung for a bit and called out to Bihyung.

Bihyung.’

There was no answer.

The existing scenarios completely disappeared in an unexpected way. Perhaps the dokkaebis of the Seoul Dome were in a meeting right now.

They might be saying something like, “This edition is ruined anyway so sell a lot of coin products…”

The next moment, the ‘Exchange’ window and ‘Dokkaebi Bag’ window opened at the same time.

This brat, he didn’t have time to send a message?

[Many constellations are dissatisfied with the sudden advertisements.]

Furthermore, he didn’t forget to play the advertisements. I opened up the sales history on the Exchange first.

[The item ‘Book of Revelation’, all has been sold for 35,000 coins.]

The sales history about the Fake Book of Revelation that I sold before had been sold out.

The incarnations that possessed such power at present were Anna Croft, Ranveer Khan of India and China’s Feihu… in any case, that person was ignorant.

I opened the Dokkaebi Bag and bought some items that I needed. Then Han Sooyoung spoke to me in a timely manner.

“Why do you want me to go with you? You can go alone.”

“It is like what you just said. The most important thing for survival is to obtain reliable colleagues.”

Han Sooyoung looked at me suspiciously.

“Hrmm…”

I pulled out an item I just bought.

“Now, swear here.”

[The item Temporary Pledge has been used.]
+
[Temporary Pledge]

1. Kim Dokja (Gab) will sign a contract with Han Sooyoung (Eul) until the sub scenario currently in progress is over.
2. Kim Dokja (Gap) and Han Sooyoung (Eul) will not harm each other until the sub scenario currently in progress is over.
3. During the contract period, Kim Dokja (Gap) and Han Sooyoung (Eul) will sleep alternately in prepared for the ‘sleeping penalty.’
·····.
6. During the contract period, the guidelines for the party will prevail over Kim Dokja’s (Gap) opinions.
7. During the contract period, Han Sooyoung (Eul) will cooperate with Kim Dokja (Gap) to clear the scenarios. She will follow Kim Dokja’s orders as long as her life isn’t in danger.
8. During the contract period, Kim Dokja (Gap) will protect Han Sooyoung (Eul).
9. This contract will expire at the end of the sub scenario. The body will be destroyed if the contract is violated.
+

Temporary Pledge. It didn’t have the effect of a sponsor contract but it was effective for short-term contracts.

Han Sooyoung looked at me with surprised eyes.

“Do you think I will sign this?”
“Then don’t.”

“…Why should I sign it? I have never done it before.”

“Don’t lie to me. I saw that you had done this before. Have you forgot about what Cale Henituse give you to sign before?”

“That’s not something like a wedding scams, right?” The new followers are whispering about the contract in Kim Dokja hand.

“Of course not. I would sign it however much such contract if it was something like that when Cale-nim used it.”

I’ll just ignored their crazy cultists words.
Han Sooyoung gritted her teeth. Even so, I knew she would accept. There was no other choice for a person with exhausted magic power. It was suicide to wander alone in Seocho-gu and she needed someone to protect her for a bit.

“…Okay. I accept. But I have one condition.”

“What is it?”

“We will share information with each other. How about it? I have a lot to ask you. You should answer honestly. I have Lie Detection.”

She already got something that I couldn’t obtain?

[The character ‘Han Sooyoung’ has used ‘Lie Detection Lv. 1’.]

It was real.

Han Sooyoung got to the point. “What is your attribute?”

“I don’t know.”

[The character Han Sooyoung has confirmed that your words are true.]

Han Sooyoung made a stupid expression and raised a hand to her temple.

“…Is this broken?”

“No, it is normal. Then ask me the next question quickly. I will only answer three. For your reference, you have already used one.”

“No, what do you mean that you don’t know your attribute?”

“I really don’t know. Now, what is the next question?”

Han Sooyoung’s eyes narrowed and she reluctantly continued to ask questions.
“Why did you give up the Absolute Throne?”

I figured that this question would emerge.

“My plan was ruined because of you. If it wasn’t for you… do you know how hard I prepared those apostles only for them to be eliminated? If I was sitting on the throne, I would’ve been prepared for the next scenario by now…”

“If you sat on the throne, Seoul would’ve perished.”

[The character Han Sooyoung has confirmed that your words are true.]

Han Sooyoung frowned. “Why does the skill keep breaking?”

“It isn’t broken. We would’ve been ruined if anyone, not just you or me, sat on the throne.”

[The character Han Sooyoung has confirmed that your words are true.]

Han Sooyoung’s eyes widened.

“Well, what you’re saying is right. As expected you also understand that, Kim Dokja-ssi.”

“Right! How can there be anyone else who can sit on something like throne except for Alberu-nim and Cale-nim.”

“Right. Anyone else who sit on such things should get a Heavenly Punishment.”

“But don’t you think Mary-nim also look great?”

“Well..., Choi Han-nim and Clopeh-nim would not sit on it and will give such opportunity for Cale-nim and Alberu-nim...that throne not fit for Mary-nim because it would lessen her coolness as the Ruler of Death.”

[Some constellations nodded their head while listening to your discussion.]

[Some constellations said that they would help you kill anyone who wants to sit in that throne except for the Godly Idols.]

[Some constellations squealing after looking at the glorious exploits of the Godly Idols.]

[Some constellations almost died after watching the recordings of the Godly Idols exploits and curse the non-believers people and dokkaebis.]

[Some constellations...]
...

They started another round of discussion and started to watch something in their smartphone.

Looking at them, Han Sooyoung seems to realize something about my words before.
“How do you know? Where did you get off? Why do you know this when I don’t?”

“I’m not someone who got off.”

[The character Han Sooyoung has confirmed that your words are true.]

Han Sooyoung was extremely shocked and managed to squeeze out a question after a moment.

“You…how far did you read in Ways of Survival?”

“Your three questions are over.”

“This is the most important question!” Han Sooyoung’s chin trembled. “No way… right? You… there can’t be such a crazy guy… yes, it is unlikely…”

Da da da da!

Then something that sounded like horse hooves were hard in the distance.

I told the muttering Han Sooyoung and the cultists to be silent and we quickly fled to the rear of a nearby building. Something was approaching.

It was in the form of a human…? I used Character List on the people rushing towards me in the cloud of dust.

[The information of this person can’t be read in ‘Character List.’]

[This person isn’t registered in ‘Character List.’]

Looking closely, I could see that all the people running had fur sprouting from their whole body.

Their faces were human but their bodies were monster-like and twice as big as a human. They seemed like bipedal wolves.

Looking closely, one monster in the lead was holding a man by the neck. It was the biggest of the monsters.

Grrr….

“Where is he?”

“T-This area! The coin farm…”

There was a sound and the man’s head was blown away. He was one of the wanderers who had been in front of Mino Soft. The monsters rushed eagerly and started eating the man’s body.

I think I knew what these monsters were.
Han Sooyoung realized something and muttered, “…The outside species?”

Wanderers had their own ways of survival. There were those who still existed as humans and made coin farms, while others gave up on being human and walked the path of a new species.

The outside species had limits but because they gave up on their humanity, they could grow faster than others in the beginning to mid part of the story.

Maybe these guys were the werewolves…

“Wow it’s a werewolves! Will it turned into good story if I made something like ‘Red Hair Beauty and the Werewolf’...haaa...I wish Cale-nim was here and give me his blessing and inspiration for writing it.”

“Who’s the wolf? Will you write it like ‘Werewolf Choi Han-nim that acting like a good puppy in front of Cale-nim’ or ‘Cunning Alberu-nim Werewolf who hiding his true self in front of Cale-nim’ or ‘The Possessive Clopeh-nim Werewolf that keep following Cale-nim’? Can I help you with anything?” Hyun Ji-Hu fans asked with shining eyes.

[Some constellations interest in your idea.]

[Some constellations prayed to the Godly Idols to give their blessings to you.]

[The constellations in the fans circle squealing at your idea.]

[The constellations in the fans circle told you that the blessings will come because you are doing a good deeds.]

[Some constellations...]
...

“Kuhuhuhu, if I make a dating game with such concepts...maybe I should make it with a title like ‘Black Riding Hood and the Seven Werewolves’. With Mary-nim as the Heroine and the other Godly Idols as the capture targets...” The game maker, Myung Ha-Eun muttered.

“Hmm! But if you make such title’s, you will lack the capture targets, right?”

“We can add Naru-nim, Bob-nim and Our Holy Priest, Cale-nim if we want.”

“Un. But can you also add Our Real God of Light, Priest Alberu-nim?”

“You are right!”

“Is there a harem route in it?”

[Some constellations interest in your idea.]

[Some constellations prayed to the Godly Idols to give their blessings to you.]

[The constellations in the fans circle squealing at your idea.]

[Some constellations...]
...

While they are busy with their discussions,

“…They gained the power of the meteorite.” I explained to Han Sooyoung.

Right now, it was only the fifth scenario. At the current time, the only way people could evolve into werewolves was by using the power of the meteorite. The wanderers had already got their hands on the meteorite that fell in Seochu-gu.

Han Sooyoung opened her mouth. “I know him. That bastard, he is someone who stopped reading.”

“…How do you know?”

“I can see it. It is the privilege as the last person who got off the novel.”

“Privilege?”

“I can read the information and attributes of those who stopped reading.” She spoke in a slightly boasting tone.

Speaking of which, I remembered a story that I heard from Jung Minseob.

Shortly after the scenarios began, the First Apostle came to them. This would be explained if Han Sooyoung had the ability to find those who stopped reading. Then she used her Avatar ability to appear before them. She also being chased by Cale Henituse because of it.

So Cale Henituse know about her ability...hmm? How did he know about it? Is he really know anything like what his followers said?

Han Sooyoung kept speaking.

“That’s why I doubted your identity. A guy who can’t be read by my skill…”

Han Sooyoung stared at me before looking back at the outside species.

“At that time, there were a few people who refused my offer. That wanderer was one of them. I thought it wasn’t a big deal since most of them would die early…”

“Who is that guy?”

“He is Song Minwoo.”

Song Minwoo? It definitely wasn’t the name of a character. Yet I had heard the name somewhere…

[The 6th grade outside species ‘Werewolf Song Minwoo’ is searching the surroundings.]

I could see the face of the person in the distance. Ah…perhaps.

A recent memory came to mind. It was the dream I had a few hours ago. I remembered my days in high school and the gangsters who bullied me. Many years had passed but his facial expression seemed to fit. No matter how much time passed, I couldn’t forget that name on the name badge.

Song Minwoo… it must be him. But that bastard was someone ‘who got off?’ That gangster read a novel?

“Where did he get off?”

“That guy… he was a bit strange. He is a bit different from the usual readers.”

“What is it?”

Han Sooyoung worried for a moment before saying,

“In my eyes, he… got off at chapter 173.”
At this moment, Song Minwoo sniffed and he turned his head this way. His yellow eyes seemed to be saying, ‘I found you.’

He fell to the ground on all fours and started rushing to this side.

I forget that name on the name badge.
Song Minwoo… it must be him. But that bastard was someone ‘who got off?’ That gangster read a novel?

“Ah! They’re coming!”

“Let’s let Kim Dokja-ssi handle it. I think he is enough to defeat them.”

“Well..., he is so ugly so I don’t think I will care if he’s die.”

“Let’s continue our discussions and praises about Our Godly Idols.”

“...”

I don’t know what to say as they are so indifferent and just continue with their crazy cultists talk. For some reason I feel like crying.

<to be continue>
Author’s note: Why do I feel that it would become into horror story with a lot of chaos and destruction and maybe craz...ahem I mean devoted faith.
Character Information: Myung Ha-Eun is one of the game making team in Mino Soft. She had made some dating game before with her team, but it’s not popular. She started making new games (dating game) with Our Godly Idols as the capture targets. She still doing her best to create it...(I hope she will kind enough to let me try the game).

I lack the time to write so I could only write this much for this week as I need to prepare for my business trip. Next chapter is Our Godly Young Master-nim appearance.
While thinking about cage and werewolves, let’s have some pictures with animals therapy effects like...
