Chapter 37

n

n

nRegressors, reincarnators, possessors, travelers, and predestined.

nEvery protagonist is different and so are their ‘protagonist corrections.’

nFor example, Gilitender and Lee Yeonjun, the protagonists hunted by Seodam, were the ordinary ‘growth type’ and did not fall in any of the categories above.

nBut just because they have no cheats from regression or reincarnation, does it make them any worse?

nNot really.

nThis is because when a protagonist faces a crisis, there would be a tremendous amount of correction in the world’s blessing towards them.

nIt’s the sort of correction where an appropriate skill for the situation will appear out of thin air or some ‘luck’ happens.

nHowever, there is no correction for protagonists who are regressors or possessors.

nBecause their existence itself is already a great deal of ‘correction.’

nRegressor Fiolen who had future knowledge.

n

n

nPossessor Ella Almus who had great achievements in magic.

nThe world’s blessing didn’t randomly move when the two were in a crisis.

nIn the case of regression, what will happen in the future will happen a little faster, and in the case of possession, they will be trusted by the people around them a little easier.

nHowever, in the end, the world’s blessing will not correct the crisis itself.

nThe same was true for Arash.

nArash, the protagonist who has all the secrets of this world due to his unique skill The Game I Made Became Reality (URS) is the ‘protagonist correction’ itself.

nKnowing everything about this world there shouldn’t have been a chance for him to die.

nThe protagonist, who was almost invincible, is about to be driven to his death by a temporary Constellation that could interfere with the protagonist’s correction.

nTip Of An Iceberg leaves the channel in great disappointment.

nMan Walking On The Edge leaves the channel clicking his tongue.

nA Thousand Bird Crossing The Line leaves the channel shaking their heads.

nThe bosses and monster waves from the 12th, 13th, and 14th stage appeared all at once.

nStuck in an impossible situation, Arash struggled and struggled, making use of everything he had.

nHowever, there was no ‘surprise.’

nIt was just…

nA hamster struggling to survive.

nHe wanted to become like them.

nSo he panhandled for their attention.

nBut the Constellations, who wanted a surprise, turned their backs in disappointment.

nOnly the Constellations who hoped for Arash to die are left, mocking him.

nA Shower Of Candles In The Night: Yes, just run like that!

nWoman Walking At Night: That’s very unsightly.

nWhite Ferryboat Statue: How unsightly can you get?

nFinger Pointing To The Moon: Your pride will cost you your life in the end.

nIn the eyes of the wicked Constellations there was not an ounce of kindness.

nThe world that Arash had created.

nHe met his end just like that.

nYou’ve successfully hunted a Level 89 protagonist.

nYour Level has risen by 5 1.

n890 days of lifespan will be rewarded.

nRemaining Lifespan: 3427 Days, 9 Hours, 31 Minutes.

nThe Constellations quickly left Arash’s channel after his death.

nHis death was only so.

nA lonely death that no one will give a second look.

nWatching the Constellations, Seodam burst out laughing.

nThe Constellations are not bad by any means.

nBy human standards, they may appear evil, but that’s just their natural design.

nHowever, somehow, as a human being, I felt irritated.

nMission completed.

nWould you like to return to your original world?

n“No.”

nI still have something to do.

nCat Walking On Fire looks at you with interest.

nPaper Plane Flying In The Wind looks at you with interest.

nFisherman Chasing Stars looks at you with interest.

nPoisonous Plant In Greenhouse looks at you with interest.

n“Uh, huh?”

nA full day had passed since the 11th stage was cleared.

nThe party of four widened their eyes when they saw dozens of Constellations suddenly joining their channel.

n“This…What’s going on?”

nThe last few months there was only one Constellation in their channel.

nSo it came as a surprise to them when the number increased exponentially.

nAbsolute Position: Do you do missions here?

nRed Acidic Elaphe: Let’s first start with a sponsorship.

nFierce Goat Wailing In The Night: So this is the 11th stage. Well, it looks quite spectacular.

nSome Constellations left shortly after while the ones who stayed were those who wanted to see them suffer or just wanted entertainment.

n“Oh my! W-what should we do here?”

nGyulu, with a quivering voice, spoke to Jaesul, their leader.

nNo matter how many times they looked, there were more than 10 Constellations in their channel.

nA leader can only do so much.

n“I don’t know…should we say hello?”

n“Yeah. That sounds good.”

nThe four, who were embarrassed, tried to greet the Constellations as calmly as possible.

nBut, immediately there was an outcry about ‘mission’ or something.

n‘The hell, what mission?’

nWhen they all had such a thought.

nRice Cake and Dumpling Soup on New Year’s Day looks at you with interest.

nTheir patron and benefactor entered the channel.

nThe only Constellation to have nurtured them over the last three months.

nAs soon as they tried to greet this Constellation with bright smiles on their faces, a voice was heard.

nNow, listen carefully.

n“Huh?”

nIt was a personal message that Constellations could send to their avatar.

nThere wasn’t a need to use it before because there was only one Constellation in the channel, but now it had to be used.

nI’m going to sponsor you guys and request a mission.

n‘Yes…’

nRefuse it.

n‘What?’

nThey couldn’t understand it.

nHowever, has a bad thing ever happened while listening to this Constellation?

nNever.

nTherefore, the four nodded their heads.

nRice Cake and Dumpling Soup on New Year’s Day sponsors 1000 Star Force.

nThis was the last amount of Star Force Yoo Seodam had.

nHe had used up almost all of it after sponsoring 50000 the other day.

nThe 200000 Star Force offered as a reward was of course, a lie.

nSeodam was bluffing with the Star Force he had collected at the last minute.

nRice Cake and Dumpling Soup on New Year’s Day: Let’s do a mission. 10000 Star Force if you succeed.

n“Ah, okay!”

nSeeing Yoo Seodam’s message, the Constellations looked on with interest.

nA Constellation that had sponsored 50000 Star Force but still hasn’t lost his name, as well as being the creator of the mission system.

nRice Cake and Dumpling Soup on New Year’s Day: … … … ….

nThe Constellations shook their heads when they saw Rice Cake and Dumpling Soup on New Year’s Day slowly explaining the mission.

nAs expected, it’s a fairly plausible yet extremely difficult mission.

nAlthough it’s not something new, the Constellations were excited to see new challengers undertake a mission.

n“I’m sorry. We think the mission is too difficult. We refuse. But we thank you for the sponsored Star Force.”

nSaid Jaesul, rejecting the mission.

nEvery Constellation in the channel became dumbfounded.

nA human rejecting a Constellation’s mission?

nThey’re not worthy.

nAs soon as the Constellations heard the rejection and was about to put pressure on the challenger…

nRice Cake and Dumpling Soup on New Year’s Day: Well, it can’t be helped.

nRice Cake and Dumpling Soup on New Year’s Day: I’m a Constellation engraved in the sky, so I can’t be petty over such trivial things. I’ll cancel the mission. Star Force is meant to be shared.

nSeodam was the first to start the ‘mission deposit’ rule.

nBecause of this, Arash was put under immense pressure and was not able to reject the mission.

nHowever, since Seodam made the rules, it’s also possible to create new ones such as ‘not getting upset at the little humans over them rejecting a mission.’

nThus, if a Constellation sponsors a mission and a challenger refuses, the Constellation has to be the ‘bigger person.’

nBut, there were Constellations who didn’t buy into this new rule and left the channel.

nIn the end, they would be harmful to the four one day anyways, so it’s good that they left now.

nIf a Constellation gets mad after having their mission refused, they’ll be criticized by the other Constellations for not understanding the rule.

nNow, challengers don’t have to take difficult missions with no way out, and it’s impossible to kill a challenger through a mission like what Seodam had done.

n“Uh, um…Thank you, we appreciate it!”

nNot knowing what the act just now meant, the four still bowed their heads to Seodam.

nSeodam didn’t bother to explain either.

nHe was just doing what he wanted to.

nSoon after, when the four were about to enter a dungeon, the Constellations began to carefully offer them missions.

n“I don’t think that mission is possible. But if you give us a more fun mission, we’ll try it!”

n“Aha. Thank you for the mission! We’ll try it!”

nThe four are now leading in viewers among all the challengers.

nWhen they entered the dungeon entrance, they suddenly stared blankly into the air.

n‘Mister Constellation?’

nWhat.

n‘Aren’t you going to help us this time?’

n…

nThe last three months Seodam had been sponsoring Arash Star Force just so he can take away the stages’ secrets and help the four with that information.

nI can’t help you anymore.

n‘That…you’re leaving?’

nYes. I’m a company spy and the company that I infiltrated is now bankrupt.

n‘…?’

nThe four didn’t understand, but still nodded.

nAlthough Seodam had helped a lot, they weren’t fools who couldn’t do anything by themselves.

nAfter all, they were powerful enough to compete with the protagonist Arash.

n‘Let’s challenge it by ourselves!’

nSince then, the four continued to explore the dungeon and carried out missions, which resulted in the channel’s growth and success.

nAt night when the broadcast ended and all the Constellations had left the channel.

nOnly then did the four go looking for Seodam.

n“Mister Constellation? Are you there?”

nWhy are you looking for me again?

n“How were we today?”

nIt was a strange question.

nWell, you were good.

nThat one sentence made them feel better, as they giggled amongst themselves.

nLooking at them, Seodam thought it was time to go back.

n“Well, mister Constellation. By any chance…Are you with us now?”

nHuh? For now, yes.

n“If you don’t mind us asking, may we ask where you are?”

nJust in front of you.

nThen, even though the four didn’t prepare beforehand, they knelt down and bowed at the same time towards where Seodam was floating.

n“Thank you, mister Constellation!”

n…

n“Thank you so much for taking care of us, really…Thank you. We’ll never forget this grace.”

nSaid Jaesul slowly with a hoarse voice.

nWhen they were about to die and when all other Constellations abandoned them.

nThe only Constellation to have saved them and brought them to the top.

nIt was a short period of three months, but it watched them more intently than any other.

nSeodam, who remained silent until now, spoke.

nI think you’ve mistaken something, I was only using you.

n“Yes. We know. And mister Constellation achieved his goal this morning.”

n…?

n“But in the end, didn’t you stay until we became independent?”

nOh really.

nSeodam somehow felt it was strange.

nIt wasn’t his goal to do something good.

nAlso, he didn’t do anything worthy of being thanked.

nHe was just using them out of necessity to kill someone.

nWhile watching the four, he would reiterate it many times.

nNevertheless it was no use.

nIn the end, the kindness they received meant a lot to them.

n“Before you leave, we really want to say a proper goodbye.”

nThey were vaguely aware of it.

nThe fact that their blessing will soon be gone.

nThe four slowly lifted their heads, looking at the place where Seodam is floating.

n“One last thing…by any chance, can you tell us your real name?”

nAfter thinking about it briefly, he replaced his message with something else.

nConstellation Yoo Seodam is looking at you with interest.

nYoo Seodam.

nThey engraved this name into their hearts.

nAs dawn slowly approaches.

n

n

nYour blessing does not exist.

nIn other words, their Constellation has left.

nFor some reason, they felt heartbroken and couldn’t say anything for a while.

nIt felt like they had lost something important.

nHowever, they weren’t going to stop here.

nWith the dawn of a new day, Jaesul spoke to his colleagues and friends.

n“Let’s go. To the next stage.”

nThey only had one wish.

nTo go back to their original world with everyone before they were brought here to be nothing but playthings.

nNow it could be said that they’ve taken the first step towards that goal.

n
