Jang Hayoung started talking in earnest with the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon and laughed with pleasure. I watched Jang Hayoung and slightly scolded him,

Whats so funny?

Its just funny to talk to this kid.

Jang Hayoung was a strange guy who treated a high ranking constellation as a friend but the even more ridiculous thing was that the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon had sent a reply.

This jerk only cared about Han Sooyoung so why was he responding to the wrong message?

Then as if to defend the black dragon, Jang Hayoung shook his head. I dont think he is a bad guy like you think.

What nonsense is this? Did you fall for him?

He is more gentle when speaking than you think.

Gentle? A bastard who replied to a 15 year old schoolgirl is gentle?

I wondered if I should explain the nasty context when Jang Hayoung replied, He replied because I am 15 years old.

What? He replied because you are 15 years old? What a complete trash.

I knew that the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon was cruel and tasteless but I didnt know he had such preferences. I was suddenly a bit worried for Han Sooyoung.

Why are you so agitated? He is just happy to have a friend. He says he is 15 years old.

What bullshit! I dont know how old he is but is there a 15 year old constellation?

At this moment, a setting suddenly rose in my mind.

The constellations living in the eternal Star Stream are accustomed to confining themselves in certain frameworks to protect their sense of self. A representative example is age. They tend to transfer themselves to a specific age and think they are that age.

Dont tell me? Even so, wasnt 15 years old too much? Really?

Then a scream was heard from inside the meeting room. It was Han Myungoh. I turned and spoke to the startled Jang Hayoung.

I have to go talk to him. Ill be back in a minute.

I know. What should I ask?

Just let him go. In any case, he isnt a warrior. Id rather you talk to someone else. Dont you have the list I gave you earlier? Try them again.

Jang Hayoung nodded. I was uneasy after seeing his excited expression but I thought it would be okay. This was originally his ability.

The awakening of the Unidentified Wall was a bit faster than the original novel but this was the best for now. The industrial complexs revolution was impossible without the help of the wall.

I opened the door to the meeting room. Han Myungoh had just woken up and was covered in sweat.

Why did I faint?

I quietly closed the door of the meeting room and replied, You fainted after remembering the pain of childbirth.

Sweat was flowing down Han Myungohs face like he had a nightmare.

Thats it?

Asmodeus probably cursed you as well.

That son of a bitch

Han Myungoh expressed his hatred for the demon king more directly than before. It was originally a dangerous thing but now he had left Asmodeus sight thanks to the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword.

I pulled out the chair again and sat back down.

Listen again. What child did you give birth to and why did you receive Asmodeus favour?

I first have to explain why I had a child.

I have a rough idea. Is it due to the dark keeper that we fought before?

Right before we split apart, Han Myungoh had been affected by the parasitic tentacles of the dark keeper. Usually, such a thing didnt necessarily mean the conception of a demon species but it happened directly with Han Myungoh

That isnt the case. It isnt because of the dark keeper that I had the child.

Then

It is because of the curse.

Asmodeus curse dealt the final blow to Han Myungoh who was infected by the dark keeper. Asmodeus curse consumed probability to realize the most terrible thing that the target thought of. In other words

I understand. By the way, is that possible? A mans body giving birth

Dont ask about that part.

I lightly nodded. It was the minimum courtesy for the elder who had an unbelievable experience. We were silent for a moment. It suddenly felt weird that I was talking to Han Myungoh like this.

Kim Dokja thought: It is a strange feeling.

Before the destruction came, Han Myungoh was a person who made life hard for office worker Kim Dokja. He was one of the top-ranked bosses to be avoided. Certainly, there were days like that. It was a time when I felt bitter over the 3,000 convenience store bento and when I had to count every bit of my monthly salary.

Now those days were gone. Kim Dokja and Han Myungoh were no longer an office worker and department head. Instead, they were talking about a demon king.

Kim Dok no, Yoo Jonghyuk-ssi. Do you know what its like to be a father?

I was a bit baffled by Han Myungohs sudden words. I dont know.

I learnt.

In fact, it was hard to say if Han Myungoh should be called a mother or a father but I decided to move on because this wasnt the important thing. Han Myungoh had a serious expression.

It was painful.

The words sounded much more painful than any of Han Myungohs previous statements.

I was also happy.

I looked at Han Myungoh with surprise. At this moment, I realized the identity of my strange feeling. Maybe I didnt want to admit it. Everybody changed. Whether they were good or evil, a child or an adult.

She is a very pretty daughter.

I would love to see her once. Is she in the Demon World?

Now she isnt with me. His expression darkened and I got a hunch.

Then?

It is a long story. Will you help?

Tell me first. I would like to hear your story.

Han Myungoh hadnt come directly into the household of the demon king. In a place that I didnt know, Han Myungohs story had continued. He took his daughter and broke through the scenario alone.

Capture the flag.

The war of kings.

The five disasters.

I couldnt believe such a story had happened in places I couldnt see. I couldnt believe that Han Myungoh could show such devotion to someone. On the other hand, I had to admit it.

I was no longer the old Kim Dokja. The man in front of me wasnt the old Han Myungoh. I didnt know if the birth of his child was the trigger. The only thing that was clear was that Han Myungoh had changed.

It was tough.

Yes, it was hard. I almost died many times. At the end, I fell into a crisis I couldnt escape from.

He was finally driven to the brink at a time when the Dark Castle scenario hadnt officially started yet. Han Myungoh was surrounded by demons and demon nobles and realized he could no longer defend his child.

Then he prayed for the first time in his life. He prayed for someone to protect his child. If this child lived, he would do anything. To his surprise, a presence answered his prayers.

-A beautiful child.

It was Asmodeus.

Did the demon king steal your child?

I felt bad because of the terrible things I imagined. Asmodeus was the Demon King of Rage and Lust. It was obvious what would happen if a child entered his hands. However, Han Myungohs expression was calm.

She is safe. After all, she is a child born from Asmodeus curse. And the demon king isnt in a situation where he can touch my daughter.

What does that mean?

The demon king has made my daughter his incarnation body.

I seemed to know what happened.

It might be a whim but the demon king Asmodeus made Han Myungohs child one of his incarnation bodies. As one of the childs parents, Han Myungoh was given a demon noble title.

Thats how I became a demon.

After hearing this, I felt that Han Myungohs life was very difficult. His life might be considered successfully because he got a title but it might be considered a failure because his child was taken

Han Myungohs eyes were sombre as he opened his mouth again.

I want to save my daughter.

For a moment, I thought I heard wrong. What did he want?

I wont speak long words. Help me. I wont forget your grace if you help me this once.

What was this situation all of a sudden?

He filmed a life theatre all by himself and now he wanted me to help him?

Youve been watching me for a long time and should know well. I am a human who is a coward. However, this is something I cant concede on.

Last night was out of my expectations. I was scared but I actually didnt hurt anyone. The executioners were excited by the appearance of the guardian and did what they wanted.

Han Myungoh swore the Oath of Existence and couldnt lie to me. Then this wasnt a lie. I decided to respond rationally. Im sorry but I have no plans to fight Asmodeus.

This would become complicated if one of the 72 demon kings were lost. It would attract foreign forces when the revolution hadnt even begun yet.

Han Myungohs next reaction was surprising. You dont have to fight Asmodeus. You just have to continue doing what you are doing. Start a revolution and kill the duke. I will help you.

Arent you on the dukes side?

Originally that was the case. Now that things have become like this, I think it will be okay to help you.

What do you mean?

Asmodeus didnt want me to help the duke. He had a suggestion for me. If I made the story he wanted, he would return my daughter. Thats why I attached myself to Duke Syswitz.

This part wasnt in the original novel. It was no wonder. From the beginning, Han Myungoh wasnt present in the novel.

I struggled for a moment before asking, What story does the demon king want?

The king of the 73rd Demon Realm.

Han Myungoh slowly raised his head and stared at me. Han Myungohs eyes were exactly the same as the interviewer on the day I joined Mino Soft.

The demon king he told me to make the 73rd Demon King with my own hands.

***

Yoo Jonghyuk was starting at the night sky with indifferent eyes.

The sky with different constellations from Earth was visible. Yoo Jonghyuks body leaning against the Heaven Shaking Sword looked thinner than usual as he counted the stars. His body was covered with blood and his face was wounded. There was a second grade monster that had just been defeated lying in front of him.

The 15th scenario is finished.

Planet Lugratia.

Yoo Jonghyuk came here through a personal scenario from one of the constellations of this world.

Originally, he wouldve proceeded with Earths scenarios. However, he had strong colleagues this regression and decided to leave the scenarios to them. The situation was growing faster than his previous regression. It was right for him to stockpile his power when he could. This current power wouldnt be enough if he entered the scenarios in the 20s.

I need to be stronger.

Thats why Yoo Jonghyuk replaced the main scenario with personal scenarios since the 11th main scenario. He also picked the hardest personal scenarios with the most rewards. Sometimes he even challenged personal scenarios that were too reckless for him.

Fight, fight and fight again.

As always, he trained and overworked his body and spirit. He thought it would fill a bit of the sense of loss that he couldnt understand. Strangely, the more he fought, the greater the emptiness became.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is looking at you sadly.]

Yoo Jonghyuk frowned and glared at the sky.

Demon-like Judge of Fire. Yoo Jonghyuk didnt know why this constellation came so often recently. It was a constellation he had little contact with in the past.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is asking why you arent looking for Kim Dokja.]

Kim Dokja is dead.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is shaking her head while holding back tears.]

Yoo Jonghyuk didnt understand why a constellation was dwelling so much on the death of a single incarnation.

The thing he didnt understand was the next message.

[Your notoriety is spreading in the 73rd Demon Realm.]

Again?

The message was unforgettable.

Yoo Jonghyuk didnt know why his notoriety was rising in a distant place like the 73rd Demon Realm. At first, he thought Kim Dokja was alive and impersonating him. However, even if Kim Dokja was alive, there was no reason for him to do this

Wait. Perhaps Kim Dokja is alive and in danger?

Maybe Kim Dokja was alive. Maybe he lived alone in the horizon of the story without any scenarios and beyond that damn fate.

Thus, he survived. Maybe he was asking for help. That guy, who always moved ahead by himself, was in danger and asking for help for the first time.

There was no way to ask for help in the absence of a channel so

Yoo Jonghyuks expression became complicated as he stared up at the sky.

The 73rd Demon Realm
