[tls123?]
The Dokkaebi King's expression as he murmured to himself looked rather strange. Bluish sparks were dancing on top of his lips that trembled as if he was suffering from some kind of lag.
I changed my question.
“I'm asking if that guy is the author of this world.”
The Dokkaebi King tilted his head before replying.
[Rather than an author, you could say that the 'Most Ancient Dream' is much closer to being a reader. It's not an existence that writes stories for someone else. It's lazy and can be quite greedy, you see.]
The 'Most Ancient Dream' isn't 'tls123'?
If that's true, then who had been sending me the text files? The author responsible for writing the novel I had read for over ten years, just who…
[You seem to be quite curious about the beginning of everything. However, there is no meaning in trying to guess it. Doesn't matter how this world came about, if there is no one to look at it, then it's the same thing as this world not existing in the first place.]
The 'Dokkaebi King' stared at the
Blinding fragments of Fables rode on the stream of cosmos and flowed to somewhere. Wherever his gaze stopped, the fragments repeatedly created meanings only to lose them again.
I shifted my own gaze towards Yu Jung-Hyeok suspended in the air with chains wrapped around him. The empty
“There are things that exist without being seen.”
The darkness in the universe was simply too wide and expansive. Its vastness couldn't be crossed even with the speed of light. However, that light would eventually arrive at its destination. Unable to see it didn't mean nothing existed there. There were some things that emitted light where no one was around.
⸢Faint starlights could be spied within the deep darkness of the space.⸥
Stars that rose up among the darkness. Stars that hadn't lost themselves yet. The light from those stars became Fables – became sentences.
As those sentences were lowered on top of the Final Wall, the already-closed story's door opened up again.
⸢The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon raised itself up as black blood trickled out from its whole body.⸥
The moment I saw that sentence, I gasped out loud. The sentences soon became video footages. Not too long afterwards, I saw the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon raise its body up within the devastated battlefield.
Han Su-Yeong was right; although he had lost the powers of the 'Apocalypse Dragon' after the ⸢Stage Transformation⸥ came undone, he was still none other than the Black Flame Dragon.
⸢The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal floating in the skies of a different world opened his tired eyes, and….⸥
The Great Sage was still engaged in a bitter struggle against the surviving Constellations among the thunderclaps continuously going off.
⸢The final 'Great Good' was forging her way towards the end of the Good and Evil.⸥
And Uriel, too; she was wielding her [Flames of Conflagration] to brighten the darkened night skies of
[No. They do not exist if no one is there to see them.]
Along with that declaration, the Fable footage scattered away.
I unknowingly reached out towards the Fable scattering in vain.
The Dokkaebi King addressed me as if to mock my actions.
[There is nothing more futile than a story continuing on when no one's reading it. Everything is created the moment they are observed. That's how this universe has been constructed. If no one observes it, that Fable can't prove its existence.]
“….They definitely do exist.”
[You still wish to see what happens next?]
[
[The 'Final Wall' is waiting for your decision.]
The whole world was waiting for my answer.
“I….”
I hesitated with what to say. Han Su-Yeong was still struggling within the transparent walls.
⸢Will I be able to see what I wanted if this Fable continues on?⸥
The 'Dokkaebi King' chuckled as if he could understand my hesitation.
The 'Final Wall' viciously shuddered about. Sentences were flowing above the wall; as if it was providing a free service, the Fable was lazily being reproduced once more.
The Great Sage, Abyssal Black Flame Dragon, and Uriel began fighting again.
