[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is greeting the 'Demon-like Judge of Fire'.] [Constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', is snorting derisively.] Uriel… [Constellation, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', is cackling.] [Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is happily greeting the 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband'.] [Constellation, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', has started picking his nose.] Right, this was how the proper 'Ways of Survival' should be. I was remembering the figures of the Constellations I knew and had forgotten about that fact for a moment there.

Dokja was so alone for so long and even when he started to find companions (friends) he assumed they didn't actually like him or that he had to earn his right to be happy with them or some other stupid thing like that and now that he's actually happy to see people and assumes they're happy to see him too...

He's all alone again. 😭

When I slowly closed my eyes, it felt like pages were floating up right before me. Ancient pages, with traces of someone already having doodled on them. ⸢In that moment, Kim Dokja made up his mind. He decided to personally write the story that didn't exist in the original.⸥ I began jotting something down above those pages. One page, two pages – every time a page flipped by, time went by, too. Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth… My fingers disappeared one by one every time a scenario was cleared. They would regenerate some time later, but their size would always be smaller than before. I used those fingers to write the revelations – on the ending Yoo Joonghyuk from the original desired, the conclusion I wanted to see, the mistakes I made, and things I gained new understandings of. All these stories gathered as one, and soon, became a Story. And so, just how long passed by like this? I slowly opened my eyes. ⸢Eventually, Yoo Joonghyuk of the 0th turn had reached the final pages of the scenarios.⸥

Whoa whoa whoa

Dokja wrote the entire 0th turn?

I mean, he's basically been "writing" all of ORV through his actions, but this is the first time we've seen him literally write. I feel like that's a pretty big thing.

Also, I'm really worried because not only is he very obviously destroying himself little by little to do this, that's not really what is role was supposed to be? I think???

I mean, Oldest Dream did create that other worldline and interfered with it in his own way (such as Dokja being very lucky, being Joonghyuk's sponsor, etc) but this feels...over the top.

Not good, not good.

[The Fourth Wall] addressed me. ⸢Y ou kn ow what y ou ve be en d oing, ri ght?⸥ Along with 'Pah-sususu' noise, the ends of my hand were melting down. I observed the figure of Yoo Joonghyuk confronting Seoul's 7 Kings. The gleaming [Splitting the Sky Sword] gripped in his hand howled out a courageous roar. ⸢No ma tter how h a r d you t r y⸥ The 0th turn's story had completely changed from the original. Yoo Joonghyuk of this world-line would walk on a different path compared to every other Yoo Joonghyuks. ⸢Th at guy can ne ver see wh at's be yond the w all⸥ I knew the meaning behind [The Fourth Wall]'s words. There was no method of acquiring [The Fourth Wall] in this world-line. Meaning, the last key to open the [Final Wall] didn't exist. Regardless of what he did, the 0th turn Yoo Joonghyuk would never be able to get his hands on that key. However, him failing to cross the [Final Wall] didn't mean he was fated to be unfortunate. Because as long as I was the 'Oldest Dream', his world-line wouldn't be destroyed even after the scenarios came to an end.

Oh no

His hands are melting?

Is he destroying himself by using this outrageous amount of Probability?

KIM DOKJA YOU IDIOT YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!

STOP WITH THE SELF SACRIFICE!

Ughhhh but I get it. He's so lonely and hurting and the one thing he loves more than anything in the entire world is TWSA and it's so much less painful to focus his entire conscious attention on this one worldline with these companions than his own that he gave up in order to save everyone, everywhere. 😭

Oh man, but he thinks this worldline will be fine so long as he's Oldest Dream but NOT IF OLDEST DREAM DESTROYS HIMSELF!!!

Dokja, if you can't stop yourself for your own benefit, do it for all the worldlines you're supposed to be protecting! They'll disappear if you disappear! You stupid squid!

Oh man, is this why 49% Dokja is currently in trouble??? Does it have to do with all the Probability 51% is screwing around with right now???

Yoo Joonghyuk didn't choose his Constellation backer during all three occasions. He couldn't choose during the first one because of me, though. Tsu-chuchut… My palm that smacked the back of his head still stung quite a bit. Well, I did forcibly butt in during the beginning scenario and knocked out an Incarnation about to enter an important event, so even I wouldn't be able to escape from the after-effects. Whatever the case might have been, Yoo Joonghyuk began showing an unbelievable level of wariness during the 'sponsor selection' events afterwards. ⸢Constellations… They are capable of knocking me out cold without the slightest warning. I must not carelessly trust them.⸥

KIM DOKJA SEE WHAT YOU DID!!!

YOU GAVE THIS MAN'S TRUST ISSUES TRUST ISSUES!

Lmfao he knocked him out cold. 😂

You better not let your Joonghyuk find out. He still remembers that time you made him eat dirt. Don't think he won't find out about the stuff you do in his other regressions.
