When the wall collapsed, the memories beyond it surged in.Memories I had not believed were mine.Sentences I had kept at a distance—like those of an author watching a character—soaked into my skin, my bloodstream, my mind.In the distance, I saw the Founder of the Absolute Throne approaching. One wing was gone, but even through that explosion, it had survived.It was walking forward, not to die—but to destroy this world.So then—who am I?As cold crept over me, I thought of my arrogance. The arrogance of observing this story from afar, of daring to think I could write this world.“Han Sooyoung.”Her presence could not be felt anywhere. Her tale was gone.‘Why did you want to become a writer?’Clutching Han Sooyoung’s sword, I slowly rose to my feet.The tale that had protected me was gone. Omniscient Reader had stopped telling its story, and Expected Plagiarism no longer revealed the future.From afar, the Founder charged. I charged back.We struck each other’s bodies with our blades. I felt the pain of metal cutting into living flesh—and in that pain, I understood one thing:I cannot remain merely the author.If I want to see the conclusion of this story, I cannot sit in that arrogant seat above it.I must live this world properly.I must face it.I must live this clear, blood-and-blade reality.I must become a character—completely.The one who knows this story better than anyone.The one with the only real chance to clear this scenario.Amid the storm of magic and wind, the Founder asked:【You are, you are, you are】“I am Kim Dokja.”This was not Incite.The Founder tilted its head—unaware of who Kim Dokja was.“I am—”So I said it again.“I am Kim Dokja.”I spoke the cursed name.[Tale, ‘Chronicler of Vanishing Things’ begins to tell a story.]A disappearing story took root in me.I felt its sentences flow through my veins as I remembered the moment I first entered this world.The story I had wanted to write. A story about extras, forgotten things, overlooked people.I finally had to admit it.That had been a lie.I just wanted to tell my story.[Tale, ‘Chronicler of Vanishing Things’ draws in scattered tale fragments.]The drifting sentences lit up and sank into me. The fragments rearranged themselves and whispered between the lines.“Don’t run away, Kim Dokja.”I hadn’t wanted to admit it. I had wanted to flee. So I built a wall.I’m the author. I can look at this objectively.With that excuse, I had run from my past self.I was reborn as “me” because I did not want to be Kim Dokja.But the reason my past self did not want to be Kim Dokja—was because he wanted to be Kim Dokja more than anything.Because he believed he could never be.【Throne, Throne, Throne】I squeezed every tale I had and rushed the Founder.The shining “Unbreakable Conviction” unleashed white sword-energy.At the same moment, the Founder’s Excalibur flared.The razor edge pierced my abdomen—and my blade carved into the Founder’s torso.【O O O O O】Through the black dust, I saw it stagger back several steps.A fatal wound at a glance.Its arms no longer regenerated; it held ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) only Excalibur. Even that sword seemed heavy in its grasp.I staggered toward it.One final strike. One final blow would reset the first button of this world.Tssss.My vision flickered.When it returned, I realized I was on my knees. “Unbreakable Conviction” lay dull on the ground.From a distance, the Founder watched me with pale blue radiance flickering in its eyes.The Tale of the King.Tsssss.I no longer had the strength to resist it.Twenty steps away, the Founder tested me and took one slow step.Nineteen.[Temporary channel restored!]The channel reopened.It was Bihyung.—You’re back! Damn it, what the hell is going on?! What is that—?!Sixteen.—Hey! I’ll just summon you out right now—“Don’t.”—…What?I swallowed the breath stuck in my throat and grabbed my fallen sword.“I’m not going back.”Not until I killed it.I steadied my swaying vision and looked down at the white ashes of tales scattered across the ground.I could not feel her tale anywhere. And yet—She is alive.I wanted to believe that. I had to believe that.Han Sooyoung is here.She remained in every line she had written and erased. I brushed the gaps in the text with my palm and spoke.“Bihyung.”Through the dokkaebi transmission, I gave him a brief message. After a moment, Bihyung answered.—…Fine. I’ll let it slide once. It’s a contract breach, but we don’t have another option.He accepted my proposal.—But I’m charging you double commission later.A scenario descended from the air.[A new sub scenario has arrived!]Warmth returned where the story blossomed.[Penalty for leaving the scenario region is removed.]The cold receded. I returned to the scenario.+Category: SubDifficulty: ???Clear Condition: Kill the Founder of the Absolute Throne.Time Limit: —Reward: ???Failure: —+When I saw the scenario description, I realized just how absurd an opponent I had fought.A difficulty not even labeled.And I had driven it to the brink of death.It was now eleven steps away.I had not a drop of magic left.It knew that, which was why it crept closer.But I still had one last method.The channel was open—so the stars would be watching me.“I will make a backer contract.”The stars did not answer.I understood why a moment later.[Constellation, , mocks your decision.]They resented what had happened before.[Constellation, , declares hostility against any constellation who forms a backer contract with you.]I laughed up at the sky.So that was their answer.The Founder reached nine steps.【Kim Dokja】“Names matter. Every tale must have a name to be complete.”All things in this world are made of tales. And every tale is completed with a name.A coordinate that identifies a single star among the many lights of the universe.“At least in this world, there is one constellation who will help me.”One who does not covet the tale I build.One who does not demand an unfair contract.He had many names.His first name was too vast to understand.Eight steps.His second name could not yet be pronounced by someone of my rank.Seven steps.The third name no longer existed in the place where he once stood.Six steps.And only one name remained that I could call.Five steps.The Founder entered striking range and swung Excalibur. It believed I no longer had the strength to counter.I opened my mouth.[Sub-skill, ‘Sentence Intensification’ activates!][You may input an action.][Your action will be intensified.][You may increase intensification by spending additional plausibility.][Current plausibility: 580][Spending all plausibility.]“I will make the contract.”He would read it.I gathered every last shred of strength and swung.KAAAAANG!“Unbreakable Conviction” was knocked high into the air.As the Founder redirected Excalibur toward my waist, I sprang forward and drew the Execution Sword from my belt.My blade struck first—cutting its side.The Founder reeled, shocked.It had been right that I was barely standing.But it did not understand what would happen now.【O O O O O O】Sensing something wrong, the Founder rattled backward.I took a step forward. Tale-force gathered along my blade.This is my favorite tale.As it lunged screaming, I thrust without hesitation.Far more refined than the sword-energy I normally used, the blade pierced its upper abdomen.【G—O—O—O—O—】It tried to reach through the veil and call the main body.I did not allow it.“Execution Sword.”At my words, the constellations engraved across the blade shimmered one by one.To fully awaken the Execution Sword’s constellations required seven great constellations.But right now—one was enough.The Founder trembled.It was not afraid of the Execution Sword’s legendary relics.It recognized the tale inside the blade.[Tale, ‘King of a World Without a King’ begins its story.]I sliced downward, splitting its body—and its skull—clean in half.The avatar of the Founder broke apart in a wail of scattered ash.The severed link sparked in the sky, flickered like a candle burned to the wick, and vanished.[You have cleared the Sub Scenario!][The fourth Main Scenario has ended.]……[You have achieved a non-existent achievement.][Many constellations have entered the temporary channel!]One by one, stars appeared above the black veil.Constellations who had come to see me, even at the risk of crossing the Great Hall.[The Administration Bureau praises your achievement.][The Administration Bureau is preparing a reward suitable for you.][You have acquired a new tale.]Stars overflowed in the kingless night sky. Looking up at them, I remembered another man who had once seen a sky just like this.This story is still Kim Dokja’s story.The name I hated, resented, and loved.But it has never been a story for only one Kim Dokja.[A constellation who had withheld their epithet reveals their epithet.][Backer contract complete.]I lifted the fallen Yu Joonghyuk of the 41st regression onto my back and looked up at our star.The star we thought we would never find among so many.The one Yu Joonghyuk searched for.The one Han Sooyoung wished to meet.[Your backer is the ‘Demon King of Salvation.’]
