[Currently, the applicable regression turn is under the 'Overwrite restriction'.]
[Currently, the applicable world-line's copyright holder is absent.]
[As the owner of the 'Final Wall', you can act as the substitute copyright holder.]
[Will you activate 'Overwrite' to interfere with the worldview?]
The warning messages floated up one after the other in the empty air. Almost at the same time, [The 4th Wall]'s voice entered my ears.
⸢Kim Dok Ja⸥
'….I know already, so stop trying to scare me.'
I could already tell what [The 4th Wall] was going to say. Probably, it'd be something along the line of there's no meaning in changing the predetermined past.
I sensed a certain glare squarely locking onto me from the empty air, but I tried my best to ignore that.
Although I had no clue how the original 0th turn unfolded, if the paragraph I read in passing inside [The 4th Wall]'s library was true, then… The 0th turn's Yu Jung-Hyeok shouldn't select his backer until much later.
He would lose Yi Seol-Hwa and Yi Ji-Hye during this turn.
He'd lose the ones precious to him, those he barely managed to meet, and then…
….And then, he'd desperately think about this one thing as his death approached him.
⸢'If only I had a sponsor, what could it have been like?'⸥
I stared at Yu Jung-Hyeok as he read the system messages with quaking eyes.
Through this turn, his cycle of regression would begin. He'd get to repeat countless regressions and thereby walk on the 'Hellscape of Eternity'.
⸢Ev en if y ou cha nge thi s turn….⸥
'The past that the Secretive Plotter lived through won't disappear. I know that.'
Even if I changed this world-line, the predetermined tragedies would still happen. The Yu Jung-Hyeok I know would live through the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and eventually, all the way to 1863rd regression turns. He'd become the 'Secretive Plotter', and start hating me.
However, even if that was the case…
'I can't pick up any traces of the 'Most Ancient Dream' that isn't me in this regression turn.'
It was quite likely that the cause of this event was the younger me not knowing anything about Yu Jung-Hyeok's 0th turn. Whatever the case might have been, one thing's for certain; at the very least, I could take on that role during this world-line.
I could become Yu Jung-Hyeok's sponsor during this world-line.
⸢Wi ll y ou ma ke him re gre ss?⸥
[The 4th Wall] asked as if it was intrigued. I shook my head.
'No. I'll make sure he doesn't.'
⸢Ev en if he's cha nged, the fu ture won't….⸥
'I know. That's why I feel even more relieved.'
The past I changed wouldn't deny the Yu Jung-Hyeok I know of.
⸢If Yu Jung-Hyeok got to experience a regression turn that wasn't tragic, even if it's just once…⸥
I slowly extended my hand towards the air.
['Overwrite' has commenced!]
[Interfering with the applicable worldview has begun!]
[As your mastery over the dream is insufficient, currently it's impossible to interfere too aggressively.]
As the sparks exploded with a loud 'Tsu-chuchuchut!', messages popped up one after the other.
[The 'Demon King of Salvation' is registering his temporary Constellation name.]
[You're currently participating in the 'sponsor selection' as a Constellation.]
[
[Low-grade Dokkaebi 'Bihyung' finds your Modifier unfamiliar.]
[Small number of Constellations are flustered by your sudden entrance!]
I bit down on my lip while observing Yu Jung-Hyeok's pale expression.
This might prove to be a bad decision. Yu Jung-Hyeok might end up even more miserable because I changed this world-line.
However, if it was the me of right now…
[Ho-oh-ra, the 'Demon King of Salvation'? Well now, a new Constellation-nim has decided to enter the stage!]
If it was Kim Dok-Ja the 'Most Ancient Dream' who had witnessed the end of one world and had the knowledge of the scenario's epilogues, then wouldn't it be possible to change the predetermined destiny?
[Looks like we might need to extend the time since the candidates have increased.]
Bihyung updated the message floating in mid-air.
[Sponsor selection time period has been extended by 5 minutes.]
The survivors in the near vicinity, having somehow lived through that ordeal, began opening their mouths one by one.
“….Just what is all this?”
“Sponsor selection, is it…..”
I didn't find it weird since I had read the 'Ways of Survival' before, but still, I could guess how confused they must feel after facing a situation like this for the first time ever.
[Incarnation 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' is activating his attribute!]
In the midst of all this, only Yu Jung-Hyeok was regaining his cool. His calm eyes were proof of that.
….Well, I'm getting curious about what he's thinking here, so.
[Exclusive skill, 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Lv.???', is activating!]
Although I felt a bit sorry about taking a peek inside the feeble 0th turn's head, I simply had to look this time. What if, in a one-in-million chance, he chose a different backer, then…..
[You are the 'Most Ancient Dream'.]
[You can utilise 100 percent of your skill's abilities regardless of your understanding on the target!]
The inside of Yu Jung-Hyeok's head spread out like an anatomy chart.
