another day in the 999th household
Kdj: i am sorry
Yjh: are you fucking serious right now. Are you really going to leave me for the 999th
Kdj: you don't understand he ... he is different
Yjh: what the hell are you talking about, we are practically the same
Kdj: he is more stable
Yhj:
999th turn: can't argue with that, can you?
No one was born evil nor good, that is no excuse but, it changes the way you see someone. In the end, the decisions we make are what we are. But—the position we chose are who we are. Kim Namwoon from the 999th turn is a lonely, cold-blooded survivor that wants to be acknowledged.
-------------------------------------------------------
When I thought about it, the reason why I hated Kim Nam-Woon was pretty simple in nature.
“Yu Jung-Hyeok always took you in as his comrade.”
Out of everyone from the ‘Ways of Survival’, Kim Nam-Woon most closely resembled me.
“Even though he knew that you are an evil bastard, even though he knew that you did evil things… Even then, he took you in.”
What would happen if such a high schooler was thrust all alone in an extreme environment where he couldn’t survive without taking the life of another, and no one was there to protect him?
“At first, I thought that Yu Jung-Hyeok was thinking of practical benefits. Because, you as an Incarnation held a high potential, that’s why. But when I thought some more about it, there were other people with just as much potential as you. Even then, Yu Jung-Hyeok always accepted you as his comrade every single regression turn.”
“….When I think about it again now, maybe it was not Yu Jung-Hyeok chasing after practical benefits, but me.”
From when I started reading the ‘Ways of Survival’, Yu Jung-Hyeok’s age remained ’28’ years old. He was an adult back then, and even now, too. Maybe he had already known the truth – that life was an accumulation of one’s choices, that those countless choices piled up to eventually become a Fable worth a single person.
That no one was designed to be ‘evil’ from his birth.
I agree with Kim Dokja, my favorite Yu Junghyeok is also the 999th but, my most favorite Yu Junghyeok would always be the 3rd.
Why? Well, his the character I read about the most.
Edit: Turns out, he was the 1864th
-------------------------------------------------------
Except that, Yu Jung-Hyeok of the 999th regression turn earnestly lived his life like that. For the first time ever, he gave up on the idea of wanting to see the ‘Conclusion’. What he wished for instead, was….
⸢”I wish for all of you to see the end of this world.”⸥
This isn't really Yu Junghyeapk of the 999th turn, right? Please tell me I am very wrong. It's weird, too weird. He grinned BRIGHTLY!?
-------------------------------------------------------
He grinned brightly as if he was satisfied by his own appearance now. Meanwhile, the trembling Han Myeong-Oh hurriedly hugged the fallen body of his daughter and looked up at this man.
[[Oii, oii, don’t worry, man. I may look a bit scary, but once you get to know me better, you’ll learn that I’m actually a nice guy inside.]] The man vigorously tapped on his bandages and spoke up. [[Well, then… Shall I go and find my Ji-Hye now?]]
Characters that made him live, that protected him, that saved him from reality, and so, he owes them his life. Truly an undeniable truth that seperates Kim Dokja from other constellations. Its his will and morals for the ones who saved him, for the ones he cares about.
But—because his OUR portagonist, it burns my eyes...
-------------------------------------------------------
‘I know what I’ll have to pay.’
In that case, why….!
‘Because… I have to do it.’
I replied with a simple grin.
I slowly blinked, and during those short moments of darkness, the figures of the ‘Outer Gods’ brushed past my mind.
[AhAhAhAhAhAh]
[SavemeSavemeSavemSavemeSaveme]
[MymemoriesMymemoriesMymemories]
The Outer Gods.
Creatures born out of all the countless world-lines where Yu Jung-Hyeok had failed.
The worlds that allowed me to live on until now. The traces of the worlds that I loved so much.
‘How can I make any other choice after seeing the truth?’
Especially so, when I could still clearly hear them even now?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember 2 comics:
1 is where 3rd turn Yu Junghyeok-ssi is trying to force Kim Dokja to eat tomatoes with grilled squid.
2 is when there was a box containing an action-figure sized Kim Dokja made by Uriel for Secretive Plotter. Yu Junghyeok-ssi looked at the back and saw that Kim Dokja-ssi's favorite food was actually "omurice."
-------------------------------------------------------
I grumbled unhappily and sat up, but then, the kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok number [999] threw an unexpected question in my way. “Name the type of food you hate.”
“Why, all of a sudden?”
“Shut up and answer the question.”
I was momentarily overwhelmed by the little guy’s force. “….It’s tomato.”
He pulled out a small memo pad from his inner pocket and jotted down ‘tomato’ in neat handwriting.
Why was he writing that down, anyway?
“What about your favourite food?”
“…..Murim dumplings with chicken broth.”
My answer prompted a change of expressions in [999]’s face. “Looks like your tongue knows its stuff.”
Well, sure, my three-inch tongue helped me live this far, that’s true.
