The Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
Han Su-Yeong narrowed her eyes after seeing that phrase. “….Isn't that the name of Kim Dok-Ja's skill?”
Why would such a thing be engraved in the gap between the world-lines?
The words continued on.
⸢This was inevitable, I thought. And the reason why I accepted mother's actions also had to be this, as well.⸥
⸢The reason why I inexplicably started writing an essay…⸥
⸢The reason why I had to become a son of a murderer…⸥
These words were moving towards a certain direction at a constant speed. These sentences were fluently stretching from the past towards the future. It was then, Han Su-Yeong came to realise something.
The 'regression' was an act of branching out to a new world-line from a 'certain point onwards' while going backwards in the current world-line.
So, what would happen if they get stuck in this type of gap while going back in the world-line? If that's what really happened, then this point in time where such sentences could be read must be…
“Hey, Yu Jung-Hyeok! This…!”
When she looked back, she realised that Yu Jung-Hyeok too was looking at 'something else'.
Boom, kbooom-!
The snowfield rumbled.
Someone was pounding on the gap of the world-lines they were stuck in.
⸢”Spit her out! I said, spit her out, now!!”⸥
⸢Kim Dok-Ja was crying.⸥
This situation, could it be….?
⸢I began crazily pounding on the wall.⸥
⸢I was overcome with goosebumps. To think that everything would become stories. To think, every action we took and every word we spoke would become scenarios and morph into sentences above the wall.⸥
⸢”Shut up! This is how I feel!”⸥
She couldn't see his face. But, Han Su-Yeong could tell just by reading these sentences. Kim Dok-Ja was responsible for these words – Kim Dok-Ja was fighting somewhere, within the past of the 3rd turn of the 'Ways of Survival'.
⸢Kim Dok-Ja wanted to know. What should he do? What should he do to break this wall down? Could this be the price for reading the 'Ways of Survival'? Did my own reality become a novel because I read that novel?⸥
When Han Su-Yeong read those sentences, she became sure of it.
“This is back then during the [Dark Castle],” said Han Su-Yeong.
“…..The Dark Castle?”
“This event happened right after Kim Dok-Ja fought against the 'Devourer of the Dream'. He told me about it some time ago. He got trapped inside his own skill, and….”
Just before they reached the final scenario, Han Su-Yeong got a chance to talk to Kim Dok-Ja for the entire night. It was to discuss their plan moving forward, but also to talk about the matters of the past, as well. They thought that some stuff they didn't manage to resolve could potentially serve as clues for the future.
– Now that I think about it, something did feel off back then. Someone called out to me, but… If it weren't for that voice, I might have ended up in some serious trouble in that place.
“Hey, Kim Dok-Ja!!”
“Han Su-Yeong, stop wasting your time. This is nothing more than recorded history.”
The 'gap' must exist as a gap. Only then would the rest exist not as gaps.
However, the fact that sentences could be found in a place like this, didn't that mean there were still stories they haven't read yet?
Han Su-Yeong reached out towards the huge letters again. The pitch-black particles stained her hand this time as well.
But, they weren't the graphite particles. No, they were very small and really fine black particles made out of ones and zeroes.
Han Su-Yeong gripped the word even harder than before.
If this was the recorded story, then couldn't it be possible to change the records, somehow?
[A new Fable of Incarnation, 'Han Su-Yeong', is waking up!]
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
An incredible shower of sparks exploded and began attacking her whole body. It was as if every sentence existing in the world was glaring at her.
Yu Jung-Hyeok cried out. “You fool… Now isn't the….!”
[Fable, 'Revision Specialist', has begun its storytelling!]
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
“Hey! Wake the hell up!”
When she gripped the sentence, the life contained within it was transmitted to her. It was Kim Dok-Ja's life. His life, lived for the purpose of writing this sentence on the [Final Wall].
Han Su-Yeong shouted at Kim Dok-Ja currently wrestling against [The 4th Wall]. “This is your skill! Don't get swallowed up by your own skill!”
As if to illuminate this pitch-black darkness, Yu Jung-Hyeok's voice resounded out.
“The operation,
