“He(Kim Dokja) will be my companion and he will see the end of the scenario.

“I remembered the moment I read a novel for the first time.

The texture of the soft paper touching my fingertips. The black letters blooming on a white field. The texture of the page I folded with my hands.

「 It isn’t important to read the letters. The important thing is where the letters lead you. 」

My mother, who loved books, used to say this. At least for me, it wasn’t just a saying.

The gaps in the black print. My own little snow garden lay in between the letters. This space, which was too small for someone to go into, was a perfect place for a child who liked to hide. Every time a pleasant sound was heard, the letters stacked up like snow.

In it, I became a hero. I had adventures, loved and dreamt. Thus, I read, read and read again.

I remembered the first time I was about to finish a book. It was like being deprived of the world.

The protagonist and supporting characters walked off with the sentence ‘They lived happily ever after’ and I was left alone at the end of the story. In my vanity and sense of betrayal, my young self struggled because I couldn’t stand the loneliness.

「This… is the end? 」

Perhaps it was similar to learning about death. For the first time, I realized that something was finite.”

Then a single line emerged.

[Incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is looking at his sponsor.]

“…Yoo Jonghyuk?”

Yoo Jonghyuk, who became so ragged that his shape couldn’t be recognized, stared at his sponsor with a single bloody eye. Sparks appeared around his disappearing body.

[Incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is resisting his sponsor.]

[All of the stories of incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ is resisting death.]

This was something I had never seen in any round.

[The incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ has refused to regress.]”

“She looked between Yoo Jonghyuk’s black coat and my white coat before opening her mouth.

“By the way, are you a couple?”

“…It is just a coincidence. It is a common design.”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is delighted for an unknown reason.]

[A constellation who likes to change gender has shining eyes.]”
