  His world had already come to an end. He had reached his ‘Conclusion’ by going through trials and errors of the 1863rd regression turn. He had lost everything, and he witnessed the end of all scenarios. And he reached that Wall.

  He hadn’t been wrong – and he wanted validation for it.

  [[Let’s say that you reached the end and saved the world through your methods. If so, what are you going to do about the ‘other worlds’?]]

  [[What will happen to other worlds that you didn’t save?]]

  And so, the ‘Secretive Plotter’ sent Kim Dok-Ja to the 1863rd turn.

  He made the fool witness the end of the story.

  To tell him, “This is the true ‘original story’.”


  To tell him, “This is the end of the world I have decided on, and nothing can change that fact no matter what.”


  ⸢”I’ll end your story for you.”⸥

  However, Kim Dok-Ja, he……

  ⸢”I won’t be returning to the 3rd turn. I’ll remain here and witness the end with the people of this place.”⸥……

  He changed that.

  Tsu-chuchuchuchuchut!!

  The Yu Jung-Hyeok sealing plan failed, and the direction of the story that should’ve been set in stone was diverted.

  [1863rd turn’s ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’ is refusing to cooperate with you.]

  ⸢”I wish to live.”⸥

  Yu Jung-Hyeok who should’ve been sealed away, chose ‘regression’ instead, and entered a brand new world.

  The ‘Secretive Plotter’ hurriedly collected the memories of all the ‘dead’ Yu Jung-Hyeoks and chased after him. He chased after the Yu Jung-Hyeok wearing the white coat, crossing the blinding starlights of the world-lines while his memories scattered away.

  This Yu Jung-Hyeok had cast off the mask of [Character] and flew towards the brand new world.

  [[Stop!! You cannot head to the next part!]]

  Only the ‘Secretive Plotter’ knew of this world’s conclusion.

  The 1863rd turn was the ‘end of all stories’. And after it was……

  ⸢I wish to witness that ‘world’.⸥


  [[Return to me. The place you’re supposed to be, is here! You……!]]

  The ‘Secretive Plotter’ roared out. Even if the ‘Most Ancient Dream’ permitted this regression, in the end Yu Jung-Hyeok was bound to repeat the nightmare again. And not to forget, him starting the scenarios without his memories would mean……

  ⸢That fool definitely said it. He said that universe definitely exists.⸥


  [‘Most Ancient Dream’ is growing curious of that story.]

  Yu Jung-Hyeok was reaching out. He was now picturing it, a world located so far away. A world that didn’t exist within the universe of the ‘Ways of Survival’.

  The ‘Secretive Plotter’ managed to catch up to Yu Jung-Hyeok’s soul form in the nick of time. But what he grabbed onto was simply the white coat. Yu Jung-Hyeok’s body had already disappeared by then.

  The ‘Secretive Plotter’ muttered out hollowly. [[You fool……]]

  The ‘Yu Jung-Hyeok’ who lost his memories succeeded in regressing.

  This would be another futile story where the beginning and the end were already set in stone. The everlasting nightmare was about to repeat itself again in that place.

  The ‘Secretive Plotter’ began searching for this world-line.

  He wanted to learn more about the world-line that the oh-so-amazing idiot disappeared into even at the cost of his memories. The Plotter thought that he’d feel better about himself after witnessing that fool living out the scenarios in wretched, broken misery and regret.

  Eventually, he discovered the world-line in question. Shockingly enough, he knew about this world-line already.

  [[……This can’t be possible.]]

  But only then, everything seemed to click into place.

  The reason why a world-line he didn’t recognise suddenly appeared.

  The reason why a completely different world-line existed where the 3rd turn should’ve been.

  Every regression he experienced was used as a sacrifice to create this ‘world-line above the Wall’.

  [‘Most Ancient Dream’ is dreaming the ‘Final Dream’.]

  This was the impossible world-line created by the end result interfering with the cause.

  His universe was shaking now……

  As the explosion resounded out, Yu Jung-Hyeok’s and the Plotter’s figures separated. We fixed our grip on the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] and glared at the enemy before us.

  The ‘Secretive Plotter’ spoke. [[……Now you know. This universe shouldn’t even exist.]]

  Finally, I could understand what this guy was talking about. And also, I could understand just a little how this world-line came to be, and why these events had occurred.

  The ‘beyond’ that Yu Jung-Hyeok from 1863rd turn chose during his regression – that was the regression turn we were experiencing right now.

  [[What a cruel thing this is. You just about managed to escape from being the puppet of the nightmare, yet you became the puppet once more.]]

  His tone of voice was heavy with grief. I couldn’t even fathom the depths of resentment contained within his words.

  [[If you read the same book hundreds of times, you might come up with a different interpretation. However, the texts will not change. Because those are the events that had already ended, and can’t be turned back to the beginning.]]

  The Plotter’s [Heaven Shaking Sword] was drawing a long trajectory in the sky. It contained the weight of the 1863rd turn.

  The one who used to be Yu Jung-Hyeok once upon a time, but now lived on as the ‘Secretive Plotter’. The one who dreamed of the death of all the ‘Yu Jung-Hyeoks’ in the world.

  He spoke up once more. [[The only reason why all of you managed to survive was because I exist.]]

  And that existence was wielding his history like a weapon.

  [[All of you, you should’ve died in that subway. Or back in that Cinema Dungeon. You should’ve died at Nirvana’s hands, and should’ve perished in the Dark Castle.]]

  He was right.

  [[You should’ve died in the Demon World. You should’ve died during the ‘Gigantomachia’, and you should’ve all died tens, no, hundreds of times already during the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’, and during the ‘Journey to the West’.]]

  If his life didn’t exist, if his failures didn’t exist……

  Then none of us would have survived until now.

  [[So, how did you all manage to survive??]]

  And now, he was asking us.

  [[Why, why is it not me, but you??]]

  Fin.
