The Second Reader (ORV ff)

Chapter 11: Gamble

*It's cold.*

I slowly open my eyes.

Everything was dark.

My body felt heavy.

By the time I realize, I was in a dark place well if I have to said it specifically, I'm in the insides of an ichthyosaur's stomach.

My whole body were cover of cuts as my face dripped blood mixed with a slimy substance.

Was I eaten?

How did I survived?

I forgot! I fell from the bridge!

Then that means!

I slowly lift myself as I heard voices echoing.

I flinch as I turn my head towards the noise.

[Ha, hahahaha! You are crazy! A crazy human! I should've known it when you refused the sponsoring of the other constellations!] A laugh was heard.

I stood up as I spotted at Bihyung laughing.

[I don't know how you came to

know about Star Stream Broadcasting but I can't accept the offer. I'm a dokkaebi, not a constellation. Therefore, I can't be your sponsor.]

"You seem to have misunderstood. Unfortunately, I never told you to sponsor me." The voice of a man was heard. I soon recognize the voice.

Kim Dokja...

That bastard.

The man who threw me away just to save his own skin.

I recall the sence with anger, as I began to hate him.

[Huh?] Bihyung tilted his head.

"I am well aware that you are a weak dokkaebi. I don't need your strength. What I want is-"

[Channel, right?] Bihyung said.

Kim Dokja let out a surprise voice.

"What how do you-"

*Eh? How did he-* I was shock as well.

[You think you're the first person to tell me. Actually I have another person who told me about this.]

What? There's someone else?

[That person was something else! He even predicted that I will talk to you about the contract. He also even knows me.]

What's that bastard thinking. Spoiling a mere 'Dokkaebi! But to think there's someone who knows ORV than that means...

I began to recall all the possibility they were.

"No way ..." Kim Dokja back away.

[Right now he's on a another sub Senario as we speak]

"Can you tell me who he is?" Kim Dokja asked.

[I can't tell information about my people that are in my channel. Unless you are a Constellations, ku ku ku~]

"Wait are you going to sign a contract to that person?" I finally spoke up.

[Why yes, I- WHAAAA! Since when?! How much you-?!]

Bihyung's eyes pop out.

"Pretty much from the beginning" I answered back.

Even Kim Dokja was startled.

Bihyung slump as his secret was out.

[To think, someone else heard- Wait you're from that time! How do you even know my name? Wait now do I mention it, How do you also know who I am? Why am I bumping with so many weirdos!]

"That's the least that matters, Bihyung, wouldn't be better that this man become your contract instead. Not only you can benefit us but it will benefit for you.'

I pointed at Kim Dokja.

Kim Dokja was confused when he was being pointed. His face gave a 'what are you plotting, now?'

[Why would you think-]

"I also know the future like that person."

Kim Dokja widen his eyes.

[Wha-]

"I also know your future as well. If you sign the contract you're much more guaranteed than if you sign with the other party."

[Can you prove it?]

I smile, as I put my fingers on my lips.

"Then how about this? Who ever clear the sub senario, with the most views wins! I guess our is going to begin at any monent now."

[What make you think that a senario will begin-]

As Bihyung complain, a window pop in front of us.

Bihyung made a blank expression.

"You didn't even know. You low-grade dokkaebi." I smile.

[You think you can gain views after you made me lose them-]

"I don't think, I know"

With full of confidence, I turn back As I began to walk away.

"Start the channel-Ah! And one last thing, lent us the usage of the Dokkaebi bag, I'm pretty sure you also let the other person use it too right~"

[You really-]

I smile once again.
