A day passed since I arrived in the 1863rd round.
The Gwanghwamun area was wet from the dark rain that had been falling since last night. Soon after the rain started, the monsters crouching between the ruins woke up one by one. There was the monster that looked like an elephant that I saw when I first got here and one that reminded me of a huge octopus. The most frightening thing was the baby that was the size of a huge building.
There were many types of outer gods but not all of them were named 'Eater of Dreams' or 'Indescribable Distance.' Most of them were 'unnamed' and existed without a proper ego.
I watched the baby in a diaper pushing through the city like a bulldozer and hid while holding my breath.
…To be honest, I probably needed the diaper more than the baby.

It had been a few hours since the archangels fell asleep, stating that they would save their energy.
The white lily in my coat trembled as if it had regained power. Gabriel.
“Have you woken up?”
[Why did you make that choice?]
“What choice?”
[Do you need to ask?]
“There was no other way.”
I heard a creaking and crushing sound in the distance. The moment I thought something else had happened, I saw the torn off leg of the elephant monster. There were signs that it was torn off by a powerful force. Someone dragged the severed leg and approached this way. It was the real monster of this scenario, Yoo Jonghyuk.
Like a sigh, the petals shook again. [I thought he would die… why is he holding a sword?]
“He could've committed suicide. Well, I don't think that will happen now.”
I spoke while swinging Yoo Jonghyuk's Heaven Shaking Sword through the air. It wasn't surprising but I didn't kill Yoo Jonghyuk.
Gabriel was silent for a moment before muttering in a small voice. [What does Uriel like about this guy…?]
“Uriel? Ah, is Uriel well?”
[How should I know?]
It was a reaction that seemed a bit excessive. The moment I was about to ask, another indirect message came.
[The constellation 'Commander of the Red Cosmos' is looking at you.]
The difficult angel had also woken up. Jophiel woke up and got straight to the point. [Did you decide to keep him alive?]
I accepted the elephant's leg that Yoo Jonghyuk had brought instead of answering. It was a leg that was very fleshy. It gave off a very rich and clear story. I faced Yoo Jonghyuk who stared at me with empty eyes. Jophiel opened her mouth again.
[Don't you know that you shouldn't keep him alive? The scenario you received is…]
“Yoo Jonghyuk's death.”
It would've been nice if I could lie but it was too late to deceive the archangels. They would've seen the scenario window that I saw.
“Well, there is no need to know. I'll kill him anyway.”
The smiling Admiral Lee Jihye smiled as she pointed the Double Dragon Swords towards me.
