He stood at the entrance of the banquet hall. If I was right, he was one of the high level constellations who supported me since the beginning of the scenarios.
「There was a mischievous look on the face covered with white-gold hair. One of the most powerful authorities who was imprisoned in the smallest prison of the world. I was unable to breath as soon as I encountered the noble self and piercing eyes. 」
This was the description from Ways of Survival. I watched in a spellbound manner. This was a top presence located at the top of Ways of Survival. I ignored the housekeeper and ran inside. “The Great Sage the Equal of Heaven!”
However, the laughing Great Sage the Equal of Heaven disappeared in front of my eyes. He was like smoke. It was as if he was telling me I wasn't qualified to meet him yet.
…A clone?
My hand fell in a dejected manner but the situation wasn't over. I suddenly called out the name of the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven, making the constellations on the first floor of the banquet hall pay attention to me.
[Who is that person?]
An incarnation called the nickname of a particular constellation. Most of the constellation didn't have great expressions. Gazes focused on me from all over the banquet hall.
[An incarnation?]
[What? Who is that incarnation?]
Countless gazes gathered, the atmosphere was heating up and I was so stiff that I couldn't move. My mind became blank and I couldn't tell who was looking at me.
I thought I could hold on after hearing the constellation's true voices. However, it was clearly the influence of Fourth Wall. Just their gazes made me like this.
Now I realized. I was the only existence in this banquet hall who wasn't a constellation. I finally stood before the constellations.
“Now now, please calm down. There was a mistake so I will be taking this friend for a bit.” I heard a familiar voice and somebody lifted my stiff body and moved it somewhere. As I left the banquet hall and entered the banquet, the hell was over and I barely managed to breathe.
“…Why would you come here alone?”
I turned and saw a familiar figure floating in the air. “Bihyung?”
“Yes, it's me. The Queen of Night said she would send an envoy. Didn't they come with you? Why are you wandering around alone in this place? Do you want to go to hell?”
“There were circumstances.”
“Hey, is that the problem now? This isn't the scenario area! If you make a mistake then it is the end! This place…”
“It is a place where there are people who can kill humans with their eyes like we are bugs.”
I know. I understood. That's why I came here.
Bihyung pouted like he wasn't satisfied and took me somewhere. “I'll take you to the waiting room. Rest there for a while. There is a screen in the waiting room that you can watch. Be sure to take a look. Do you understand?”
There must be something based on the way Bihyung was acting. Not long afterwards, we arrived at the waiting room. By the way, the sign in front of the waiting room was very strange.
“…Incarnation waiting room? There was something like this?
“Do you think you are the only incarnation? Of course, you are the only one who came here alone.”
The door opened and I saw an unexpected figure. He spoke first. “…Kim Dokja?”
I looked at him with a blank expression and waved awkwardly. “…Yoo Jonghyuk.”
The constellation banquet was frequently mentioned in Ways of Survival.
It was the place Yoo Jonghyuk usually came to whenever he used 'regression.' It was natural for Yoo Jonghyuk to be included on the invitation list. I didn't know who was invited this time but this person would try to form a relationship with the narrative grade constellations…
The constellation banquet was a joint event with several countries. There was the Seoul Dome, Washington Dome, Moscow Dome and New Delhi Dome.
Perhaps the bureau had held a performance presentation to select the best performing domes. Once I saw the list of participating countries… it was similar to Yoo Jonghyuk's 24th regression. There were separate incarnations for each country in the waiting room.
Yoo Jonghyuk asked me, “Why are you here?”
“Probably a similar reason to you.”
“When will you revive?”
I looked up at the second floor of the banquet hall. Unlike the ridiculous first floor constellations, an ominous silence came from the constellations on the second floor. They were constellations who each shone with a fearsome presence.
They were the real enemies I had to fight.
