My hands were trembling but I took a deep breath and regained my composure. No. Yoo Jonghyuk couldn't be dead. Above all, the message that caught my attention was evidence.
[You are currently waiting for the next main scenario.]
Based on common sense, Yoo Jonghyuk shouldn't be given the exile penalty. It was because Yoo Jonghyuk would've entered a new scenario like me.
There might be variations for individual scenarios but he became a duke as soon as I became a duke. It meant that like me, Yoo Jonghyuk was a 'demon king candidate.'
[There is currently a delay in the compensation due to an error in the Star Stream system.]
However, there was this one message. It was very rare to acquire a story or achievement through 'impersonation' in the Star Stream. This time, Yoo Jonghyuk and I impersonated each other and made achievements in each other's name.
What if the main scenario of the Star Stream was twisted because of this? I entered the main scenario safely but what if Yoo Jonghyuk didn't enter? Was that why the exile penalty began?
“Are you okay?”
“…Do you have a glass of water?”
Aileen stared at me with disbelieving eyes for a moment. “Don't pull out the catheter again while I'm gone.”
Aileen left the room and I calmly reexamined the situation. I had to be composed. It wasn't clear whether Yoo Jonghyuk had died or not. It was likely that he had been killed by the start of the exile penalty just prior to the release of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, but absolute certainty was a taboo in the Star Stream. I needed to first confirm Yoo Jonghyuk's life or death properly.
“Biyoo.”
Biyoo had expanded the channel to the Gilobat side. If Biyoo helped, I might be able to see the area using the eyes of a constellation.
“Biyoo. Do you hear me?”
Did something happen? There was no response from Biyoo. I couldn't even hear the messages from other constellations. I felt uneasy for a moment. What happened to Biyoo while I was away?
…Huh? I listened quietly and could hear Biyoo breathing near me. Biyoo's transparent body was lying on my chest, fast asleep.
I sighed with relief. I would've been devastated if something happened to Biyoo.
“…I'm sorry.” I stroked Biyoo's head. According to Ways of Survival, a dokkaebi must sleep for at least half a day when it was just born. I was sleeping so it wasn't strange for Biyoo to have fallen asleep.
It was a situation where Biyoo had exhausted her strength due to overworking.
I decided to use the second method.
[The exclusive skill, 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' has been activated!]
Then my temples started throbbing.
[The skill is cancelled due to accumulated damage.]
…Damn, this didn't work either. It seemed that I suffered a huge blow when my link with Yoo Jonghyuk was severed.
In the end, I picked up the smartphone again. It was the first time I felt so helpless. I didn't know if Yoo Jonghyuk was dead or not and the only thing I could do was read the novel.
No, don't think like this. Kim Dokja, please wake up. You've survived so far thanks to this novel.
I bit my lips and opened Ways of Survival again. Everything came from this story. Thus, the answer would be in the story.
[The attribute effect has increased 'speed reading'!]
“Let's go back to Earth, Kim Dokja.”
