I thought that 'it' had finally happened when I became the Outer God King.
[You have become the 'Enemy of the Story'.]
This wouldn't be my first time experiencing the sensation of Fable in my entire body shattering into tiny little pieces. A similar thing happened back when I was booted out of the scenario and fell in the 'story's horizon'.
If there was one thing different between then and now, it would be me not getting expelled from the scenario even after becoming an altered existence. No, it was the exact opposite.
[You have become the boss monster of the last scenario.]
[You will be alone forever.]
[No one will understand you in this worldview.]
I memorised the loneliness I felt in that moment. This feeling of being cast away all alone in this universe. The feeling of becoming a monster that no one could understand for all eternity.
However, this also wasn't my first time experiencing such a feeling either.
⸢”I'm XX Time's reporter. Do you have some time to speak with me?”⸥
⸢”It's him. The son of the murderer.”⸥
That was why I needed to take up this role. Only I could perform it to its fullest, after all. That was the price to pay for reading the story called 'Ways of Survival' to its conclusion.
⸢[[Your companions will never understand your decision.]]⸥
The 'Secretive Plotter' told me that as if he already knew what my plan was. And I understood why he had no choice but to say those words.
⸢”We'll find out later, won't we?”⸥
Neither he nor I were wrong. Just that the Fables we compiled were different, that's all.
Kwkwakwakwakwa!!
The tsunami wave of Fables unfolded right before my eyes. And the blinding sparks of Probability spread out above this wave. And on top of them all, the gazes from the Constellations were streaming in.
[Constellation, 'Queen of the Darkest Spring', is watching your Fable.]
[Constellation, 'Father of the Rich Night', is watching your Fable.]
[Constellation, 'Mass Production-type Maker', is watching your Fable.]
This wasn't a gamble that I alone could realise. Me becoming an Outer God King was merely the beginning of the final pages.
Yu Jung-Hyeok fought hard, my companions held on bravely, and Han Su-Yeong gamely attracted the Constellations.
And the Constellations believing in us made their choices.
⸢The plan was a success.⸥
The 'Living Flame' that rises up from the east.
The 'Master of the Sunken Island', the calamity of the world in the west.
The 'Monarch of the Great Abyss', the ruler of the northern universe.
The 'King of Silverlight Heart', the ruler of the interstellar space in the south.
And finally, the 'Great Plotter' that crawls from the place of nothing.
The scenario's volume began expanding rapidly with the gathering of all five 'kings'. Historical Figure-grade Constellations failed to deal with their combined Statuses and began vomiting out Fables on their knees.
These kings had been excluded from the scenario until now. After escaping from the reaches of the 'Hounds chasing after the Abyss' through the abundant Probability, they had personally descended to the scenario.
The 'Secretive Plotter' was looking in my direction. I nodded my head in return.
⸢And now, it was time for their stage to open.⸥
[U-uwuuuuh-!]
Several terror-stricken Constellations forgot their stations and began hastily running away. The 'Monarch of the Great Abyss' grabbed the nape of one of those Constellations. The 999th turn's Kim Nam-Woon began laughing.
[[Now, now. You leaving so soon makes it a wee bit troublesome. It only just began, after all.]]
