[ID: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fanart of 1863rd turn Yoo Joonghyuk. He stares forward with a tired, hopeless expression, as two hands reach down from above and cradle his face on each side. One hand is larger, the other smaller and more feminine. Both have some scarring. Yoo Joonghyuk is colored in dark grey while the hands are bright white. The rest of the background is black. The second image is just the lineart on a white background. /end ID]

Maybe this is connected to the ORV timeline. It didn't have a starting point, but it's something we can make sense of.

'Outer Gods' are beings from other dimensions that weren't saved. That would explain why Kim Dokja became an Outer God.

Now, I have 3 questions:

1. If OD's/KDJ's 'story' started when he first read the story, what were the memories all about before he turned 15? (Is the trauma he had fake or an image/illusion caused by what happened during and after 15? Or is it from another dimension when his soul got seperated and spread across the universe?)

2. The author and reader ended the novel in 10 years so why start at 15 when it ended at 28? (Is it a time jump? World skip? If so, then he didn't exactly read it for 10 years nor did he know the full story of the original Yu Junghyeok. That would also explain why therr's some parts about him that he doesn't understand. It just "seemed" like he read it for 10 years. It's either he read it for a longer or shorter time)

3. Why did he reincarnate at 15? (He started reading TWSA at 15, right? Kim Dokja often said that the novel "saved" him. So– why 15 and not younger when nothing saved him? Is it because that's the limit the <star stream>can do? Or is it because that was the age Han Suyeong knew about?)

-------------------------------------------------------

These memories lacked any obvious starting point, and they were not consistently linked to each other, either. However, I was able to follow them. As if I was connecting the constellations that couldn’t be connected previously.

Perhaps only I was able to connect them in this world.

And in that moment, I understood.

I understood what the ‘Outer God’ was, why Yu Jung-Hyeok from the original story had to become one willingly.

….And, why he had no choice but to become the ‘Secretive Plotter’.

The story of pain that went on for tens of thousands, hundreds, maybe even for millions of years. Stories discarded by the world-line and couldn’t be acknowledged as ‘Fables’. And the fragments of Fables that became the subconsciousness of the worlds, drifting around in the universe and ruminating on the ancient memories. Finally, the voices of those that were not saved.
