"If I choose you as my Constellation sponsor, will I get to finally meet you?"

[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is shaking his head.]

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

I knew better than anyone what kind of a life Yoo Joonghyuk lived after failing the 0th turn. I knew all too well what would happen to him, what kind of a life he'd live, and the kind of ending he'd witness.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"A fight that can't be won holds no meaning to me."

"However, I've grown curious lately. What would've happened to me if you didn't help? What kind of a life would I have lived if I didn't win?"

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"Sometimes, this peace feels like an illusion… And every now and then, I get the feeling that my life has been completed by someone else."

[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is…]

"I didn't mean to say I'm unhappy."

Yoo Joonghyuk smiled faintly.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"This world is no longer mired in scenarios. There are no stimulations, nor any irregularities. Yet, why do you still wish to watch this story?"

[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', replies that this is the story he wanted to see in the first place.]

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"Demon King of Salvation," Yoo Joonghyuk raised his head to look at me. "Are you still curious about my story?"

I hesitated a little before replying. [Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', replies he still is.]

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

Yoo Joonghyuk quickly recognised whose speech pattern it belonged to.

⸢…The regression turn mentioned for the first time is…⸥

That silly manner of speech capable of irritating a person to no end – only Kim Dokja spoke like that in the entire world.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

A bitter chuckle floated up on my lips while I observed Yoo Joonghyuk reprimand his little sister's manner of speech. You should fix your own first, dude.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

As the rays of light shattered simultaneously, both Yoo Joonghyuk and I got sucked into the worldview's exit. When I regained my wits, I found myself being trampled by his feet.

"I told you not to throw me!!"

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

⸢Yoo Joonghyuk had become one with 'Secretive Plotter' once upon a time.⸥

Only then she understood it – the reason why he could become Kim Dokja's ally faster than everyone else.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

The unconscious Yoo Joonghyuk didn't want to wake up even after four hours passed by.

"Hey, you crazy idiot! Wake up!"

Han Sooyoung and I took turns slapping his cheeks. Unfortunately, he still showed no signs of waking up at all.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!!

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

It was a familiar Story; there was this one particular guy who got summoned to this floor only about a moment ago. His face revealed itself from beyond the rising murky fog of the Story.

– Keep running, Kim Dokja.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

Because Yoo Joonghyuk hated Constellations more than anyone, he was able to read Kim Dokja's intentions. And that was how he could make his move without hesitation.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

During the final moments, he called out to me.

"Demon King of Salvation."

With a truly strange and mystifying expression…

"I shall pray that you may continue to exist somewhere, too."

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

I could only grin wryly. I didn't mind anyone else, but would've preferred not crossing the bridge with that guy.

– Hey, don't you throw me to the river this time, you bastard.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"Stay back."

His cheeks were trembling painfully. No matter how hard he tried to hide his emotions, he still couldn't erase his unique behaviour. I sighed softly and replied.

– We can't retreat anymore, anyway.

– Apologies.

– It's fine. This is your choice, after all.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"How laughable. This is the result of neglecting your training every day."

"…Do you honestly think everyone can train to a ridiculous degree like you?"

Yoo Joonghyuk glared at me for a short while before focusing on the Story once more without saying anything else.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"Yoo Joonghyuk! Don't stop!"

I shouted out and desperately continued to read the Story.

[Story, 'Hell of Eternity', is continuing on with its storytelling!]

[Story, 'Life and Death Companions', is amplifying the effects of other Stories!]

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

Yoo Joonghyuk's [Black Heavenly Demon Sword] roared on with a vicious howl. Every Story we possessed also howled and roared on.

Even if it was just us two fighting together, facing off against a true Myth-grade Constellation was still asking a lot.

[joongdok bot @joongdokquotes]

"His specialty is to run his cocky mouth off, and he has this habit of throwing his life away so that we can overcome any and all impossible situations hindering us."

Yoo Joonghyuk was talking about me that even I didn't know about.
