A burning pain was felt from my cheeks several times.
“Kim Dokja! Hey! What is this?”
My vision blinked and my consciousness slowly rose to the surface.
[The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is strongly activated!]
“Uh…”
My voice didn't sound like me. It was only a moment but it felt like I had become a different existence and came back. A terrible sensation remained in my entire body. The shoulders being touched by Jang Hayoung's fingers trembled.
“What's wrong with you?”
I couldn't clearly remember what had happened. I asked the Fourth Wall to check the Attributes Window and then I heard a voice…
I rubbed my temples and asked, “…How did I faint?”
“I don't know! I came running because of a sudden lightning bolt!”
“Lightning?”
“Do you know the sparks that appear when you break the probability? That…”
“Did it strike like lightning?”
Jang Hayoung nodded. “It was the first time I had seen something so big.”
My coat and other clothing were charred black. I couldn't believe that the coat with the automatic restoration function was damaged like this… The ceiling of the office looked like it had been hit by a meteorite.
“Are you okay?”
“I'm fine. Of course, I'm fine…”
Rather, I felt lighter. It was impossible. My body was burnt like this but my spirit was clear. The power of my stories felt fuller.
[The effect of the exclusive skill 'Reading Comprehension' has increased understanding.]
I saw the message and a previous memory emerged. That's right. I had obviously seen such a message.
[Your understanding of the character 'Kim Dokja' has increased.]
The message marked me as a character. It was something that never happened before. Cool energy filled a corner of my chest.
I had seen the presence of 'characters' many times.' They were those who came from outside the original novel but was eventually assimilated with the original. They were mostly those who stopped reading the novel.
I urgently summoned the Attributes Window. 'Attributes Window.'
However, the Attributes Window didn't easily open. The reason was obvious.
[The Fourth Wall is looking at you.]
I started sweating.
「 Kim Dok ja look ed for 15 se conds. 」
'I'm sorry, really.'
Who knew who much time had passed? In fact, 10 or 15 seconds to look at the Attributes Window was a tight time frame.
「 I wi ll no t see you for the mo ment. 」
'Wait, let me ask you something.' I grabbed the Fourth Wall before it was about to disappear. 'What the hell is behind that wall?'
It was a vague memory but I definitely saw something before I fainted. I looked a bit closer and it seemed I had been talking to someone. There were clearly a few shadows.
[Won't you put that lump away?]
