The sight of Jeong Hui-Won running forward could be seen.
She slid among the 'Nameless Ones' like the moonlight sliding off the blade.
The answer she was searching for was there.
[Incarnation Jeong Hui-Won's ■■ is 'Salvation'.]
Everyone had their own ■■. Finally, the moment of choosing their own conclusions had arrived for the
“Jeong Hui-Won!”
Her [Judge's Sword] drew a spectacular trajectory. The companions watched that sword trajectory and hurriedly chased after her.
Yi Gil-Yeong was about to leap into the air along with Yu Sang-Ah, but had to stop because of a girl was about to be left behind.
“Shin Yu-Seung….”
Shin Yu-Seung standing there all alone, was crying. Standing in the exact same location as before, her feet not going anywhere, and her gaze fixed on one spot – it was quite clear what she was looking at right now.
[Fable, 'Saviour of a Star', is continuing on with its storytelling.]
It was the Fable that only Shin Yu-Seung possessed.
A Constellation and an Incarnation, connected through that radiating starlight. The light emitted by the Fable was so beautiful and radiant that Yi Gil-Yeong unknowingly reached out towards Shin Yu-Seung.
⸢Yi Gil-Yeong was envious of Shin Yu-Seung.⸥
Just what was it like for one person to understand another?
He was too young to truly understand the meaning of the word 'understand' itself. Sometimes he'd feel this sense of deprivation because of that, but on the other hand, he actually liked the fact that his age could be used as an excuse.
⸢It's possible for you to not get it yet. But, that's okay.⸥
⸢You don't need to do this, but I'm sorry that we have to rely on you, Gil-Yeong-ah….⸥
⸢Hey, kid, stop showing off and get back.⸥
He was relieved. He even thought that it was a fortunate thing.
It was fortunate that he got to meet such people in a world like this one. People that he could rely on and act like a child, yet still could remind him with the fact that he was indeed a child.
⸢However, Shin Yu-Seung was here, too⸥
There was another child with them who didn't act like one. It was a girl who always looked up at a star. Yi Gil-Yeong also looked up at the same star – the star he liked. He knew very well the sorrowful light that star emitted, and how its colour would change when it tried to hide its true intentions or tried to lie.
⸢However, he didn't know as well as Shin Yu-Seung did.⸥
“How long are you going to stand around dazed like that? Let's go.”
Shin Yu-Seung absentmindedly turned her head towards him. While meeting her gaze, Yi Gil-Yeong snatched up her hand. Then, the two kids began running. Sweat filled the tightly-held small hand.
'I don't understand Dok-Jhyung as much as Shin Yu-Seung.'
She was the Incarnation of the Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation'. No one could pry them apart or get in between them.
“You think you're the only one worried about hyung? You think you're the only one feeling sad?”
Yi Gil-Yeong shouted without even looking back and continued to drag Shin Yu-Seung. He hated the idea of looking younger than her. But for at least today, he wanted to behave like a child.
“I don't like the Han River. I like oceans better. And I don't like pizza but prefer fried chicken.”
He too had been saved by that star, that's why.
“Going to the PC Bang! Playing phone games! And….!”
The star he liked so much could be seen in the distance. However, it didn't look like a star now.
“And, also….”
The star, the subject of jealousy and envy from the Constellations that ruled the heavens, was now…..
….Now looked like a scary great demon from the webtoons the boy enjoyed reading so much.
The moment that huge head with tentacles wiggling about turned in his direction, Yi Gil-Yeong's running legs froze still.
The king of another world, now grown to a height even taller than a skyscraper.
The 'Enemy of the Story.'
The villain who would destroy this world.
