A handsome beard and thick eyebrows. The thick lips that showed a unique, upright personality. The man who appeared from the darkness was exactly the same as when I met him three years ago.
“Goryeo's First Sword?”
“I didn't know we would meet in such a place, Kim Dokja.”
A constellation of the Korean Peninsula, Cheok Jungyeong was on Reincarnation Island.
I was indebted to Cheok Jungyeong from Dark Castle to the Demon King Selection. I swallowed down my pleasure. Cheok Jungyeong was a good constellation but his purpose here was unclear. It was time to look at the other person's purpose. It would be difficult if his purpose conflicted with me.
“I was worried because you haven't been sending any indirect messages.”
“I have been refraining from broadcasting on the stream for a while.”
On closer examination, Cheok Jungyeong's entire body seemed much more refined than before. Something flashed in my mind. “Did you come to the island before the start of the scenario?”
“It's been 15 years already.”
15 years? At this moment, a sentence of Ways of Survival rose.
「 Reincarnation Island is located in the Dark Fault. 」
It might be three years in Earth hour but time within the Dark Fault was a few times faster. In fact, Kyrgios and the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint had also been here. At present, the time density of this island was around five times that of Earth.
“The reason you are here…”
Cheok Jungyeong shook his head. “It might be an outer god but I still wasn't able to withstand it.”
There was a scene playing in my head. It was three years ago, the day when the 73rd Demon Realm was destroyed. Cheok Jungyeong lost his incarnation body while dealing with the disaster.
The prideful Cheok Jungyeong was greatly shocked that there was such an existence in the world. Thus, it was even more amazing. The other constellations had their egos crumble at the mere sight of the disaster while Cheok Jungyeong was still trying to tear down the disaster.
Perhaps this was the theme of the constellation called Goryeo's First Sword.
“I felt that I had to train again from the very basics. This island is the perfect place for such training.”
Cheok Jungyeong spoke while looking at the people moving through the bushes in front. They had good mobility even in this hot and sticky forest. They were probably the forgotten people of this island.
One of them noticed my gaze and walked over. “You managed to survive. Usually, the constellations from the outside die in less than an hour. Ah, apart from that monster 'Cheok' over there.”
“Thank you for your help. I am Kim Dokja.”
I deliberately didn't say my modifier. Among the first generation forgotten people, there were many people who considered the modifier to be pretentious.
The man laughed as if he liked my answer. “I have long forgotten my name. That is what everyone does when they're here.”
The man spoke and moved ahead. The forgotten. They were those who forgot their names after numerous reincarnations. However, they didn't really forget their names. It was just that reminiscing on the past became too painful.
An old scent was felt from the bodies of the forgotten who were opening the path. A very strong, curved and hardened story.
Lee Jihye whispered, “How are they so strong?”
It was natural to be curious. The forgotten people themselves didn't feel particularly great. Yet they used a single strike to kill the troll we struggled with.
“The quantity and quality of their stories seem better than us…”
“No matter how good the stories, it is useless if they can't take advantage of it properly.”
Lee Jihye stared at me with questioning eyes. The moment I tried to speak, I was interrupted by Cheok Jungyeong.
There was another reason I came to Reincarnation Island. Based on the future battles with myth-grade constellations, I had to obtain something from this place.
I swallowed the rising blood and spoke in a congested voice. “One Invincible Fist, please teach me 'Story Control'.”
