kdj: oh my god yjh must hate me so much, he'll never forgive me for being the Oldest Dream and not only using his suffering as my sole reason to live for the last 13 years of my life but also being the reason he went through all that anguish, I'm a monster
yjh in the entire fucking epilogue: kdj i would break all my principles and morals for you, i have never been more miserable and lost without you and the purpose of my life feels like it has no meaning since your damn epilogue, i could literally never achieve my ■■ without you, you are my happiness
How do I explain to someone that the side story is a book about a guy who wrote a book about a guy who read a book about a guy who read that same book and made some strangers read that very book via the first guy who wrote that book who actually didn’t even write it himself.
🎊 Congratulations on the end of ORV side story's ss2! 🎊

Ep.21.14 spoilers (translated by @vapolunes):
[The constellation who hadn't revealed their modifier reveals their modifier.]
[Sponsor Contract has been completed.]
I hoisted the collapsed Yoo Joonghyuk of the 41st round onto my back and looked up at our star.
The star that I thought I wouldn't be able to find, because there were so many stars.
The star that Yoo Joonghyuk so desperately wanted to find, the star that Han Sooyoung so desperately wanted to meet.
[Your sponsor is the 'Demon King of Salvation'.]
「If I could be born again, I hope it's not Kim Dokja at least.」
— [ORV side story] C.615 - Ep.12. □□ (6)
singNsong wrote a chapter from 49%'s perspective during the rescue of the "Real Kim Dokja." The chapter sheds light on Kim Dokja's hidden thoughts and feelings that were never revealed in the 551 chapters of ORV.
This is a thread about 49% Kim Dokja and has side story's spoilers. Read at your own risk.
======
A kid-ified Kim Dokja.
Kim Dokja, who was also losing his memory. But the moment he saw that Kim Dokja, he realized: that Kim Dokja was the 'real Kim Dokja'.
「Ah... Ah, I'm...」
Like a satellite attracted by the gravitation of a star, his body moved toward Kim Dokja. The memories he had were breaking into small pieces and being sucked into Kim Dokja. Feeling the disappearing flesh, he thought.
Who was I, then?
「Dokja-ssi!」
He was Kim Dokja.
「Kim Dokja!」
However, he wasn't the Kim Dokja this world wanted.
「Kim Dok...!」
The last moment before his consciousness disappeared, he thought.
「If I could be born again!」
As the party said, a delusion of the 'Real Kim Dokja'.
「I hope it's not Kim Dokja at least.」
He imagined a very distant universe that could never be reached by this world, an unknown being born in that universe.
A creature that no one in <Kim Dokja's Company> recognized and has nothing to do with Kim Dokja.
「I want to have my story, too.」
There was the sound of something exploding, and the next moment his consciousness was broken into small pieces and scattered in space.
But the biggest part of the consciousness that formed his core did not completely disperse and became a meteor.

Q: Why is Lee Hakhyun the reincarnation of 49%, but not 49% itself?
The meteor that carried 49%'s soul broke into many tiny pieces that flew to a planet far away from Kim Dokja's worldline.
The largerst piece entered the body of a newborn child named Lee Hakhyun.
Many other smaller pieces also entered the bodies of dozens of different people, including Killer King and Yerin (siblings), Dansu and Jiyoon (father and daughter) and even some who have crushes on each other.
As a result, there are over 10 characters who are reincarnations of 49%.
All of these reincarnated fragments of 49% have taken on new lives of their own. So if you consider Lee Hakhyun to be 49%, then you should also consider the others as 49% as well!
======
Q: Why are there 2 portals to different endings, one where Kim Dokja wakes up and one where he doesn't wake up?
In my opinion, it's because 49% Kim Dokja is the one who doesn't want to come back to his companions the most.
Why do you insist Kim Dokja wants to return to his companions and have a happy ending?
We only get to see the inner thoughts of 51% who longs for his companions day and night.
But 49% wanted nothing to do with returning to his companions and we only learned his true feelings in the side story. After reading his story and learning his wish was fulfilled, do you still want a 100% Kim Dokja like KIMCOM would?
