“…Uh.”
「 The bones of the body seemed to be crushed and the skin was stiff, like a dead animal's skin. 」
I listened to the Fourth Wall's words as I slowly woke up. The obnoxious voice of the Fourth Wall was now welcome.
「 I am alive. Kim Dokja thought this. 」
I heard Fourth Wall so the plan seemed to be a success. In fact, I couldn't really say it was a success.
It was natural. The 'fate' they gave me was the death of 'Incarnation Kim Dokja'. It was natural that the 'constellation' Kim Dokja wouldn't die.
If I was going to disappear so easily, I wouldn't have built up my stories and become a constellation. The problem was that I lost my body and survived as a 'constellation'…
“…Where am I?”
The surrounding area was filled with ruined buildings and roads. It was a familiar scene.
“This…?”
Not long after I spoke, I realized the situation I was in. I looked up at the air. The night sky had always been filled with the light of countless constellations. Now there was nothing there.
I was surprised by the deep words I was speaking to myself. I watched the night sky and laughed blankly. “Haha…”
Usually, numerous indirect messages from the constellations should've appeared.
For example, the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven who liked it when I talked to myself or the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon… there was also the Demon-like Judge of Fire who liked me for some reason. It was normal for someone to answer but no one answered my monologue.
There wasn't the Bald General of Justice polishing his head, the One-Eyed Maitreya who would throw his eyepatch if he was bored or the shameless Lady of the Brocade Sleep.
The messages of the constellations disappeared and only a laughably terrible loneliness was left behind.
「 Kim Dokja thought: I'm really alone. 」
[You are currently expelled from the scenario.]
I slowly looked around the surroundings. Despite being expelled from the scenario, living beings would go to the nearest 'outside the scenario' area.
[You are currently in an area outside the scenario.]
The outside the scenario area that I was currently standing in was a very familiar place to me.
「 Seoul. 」
This place was Seoul's Gwanghwamun square. It was the place where War of the Kings took place and I crushed the Absolute Throne.
The fact that Seoul had become an area outside the scenario…
The party members… thankfully, they escaped unharmed.
I looked at the place where the former Seoul Dome was located and felt overwhelmed. The place that used to be covered with a translucent membrane was now covered by a thick barrier.
Now the 'Seoul' scenario was completely over. The party members were moving onto new scenarios without me and making new stories. From there, they would continue to live.
…Maybe this was how it turned out.
「 Kim Dokja was glad but also somewhat lonely. 」
I thought about the party members for a moment before slowly turning around.
「The lonely Kim Dokja had something to do. For that reason, he chose a miserable death. 」
「 While walking on the streets of Seoul, Kim Dokja was immersed in his memories. Whenever he went, he saw where he performed the scenarios with his party members. Kim Dokja once again realized that he had become part of Ways of Survival. He was obviously living this story. 」
Just wait a little bit.
「 I will pull all of you down from that fucking heaven. 」
