[ Compensation settlement is delayed due to an unexpected scenario check]

[ Please wait patiently ]


Lee Sena leaned against Kim Namwoon as they both read off the floating message box. Her head rested on the crook of his shoulder as she merely glance up into the space above, the boy was being more useful as he ran another towel under her now untucked shirt to clean the skin underneath her shirt. They stayed a few places off from the main group who were still wary of the 2 teens after the display of violence.

"Did you enjoy it?" Sena smiled as she puts her arms around his head while the male leaned down to nose at her neck, breathing in her scent deeply. It's been muddled with blood, the white-haired teen scrunched his nose as he reaches into his bag and takes out a bottle of vanilla-scented body mist before spraying her down.

"I'll enjoy anything if it's from you, danna." Namwoon replies as he wraps his arms around her waist after he was done.

The girl hums as her hands come up to mess with his hair, there has been very little damage done to it even though it's been through so much. 'We need to somehow get bleach' The girl gets lost in thought as she wonders if they will have time to touch up his roots and tone his hair so that it'll stay that color. The end of the world was here and Namwoon liked to keep up with aesthetics, they'll need some way to keep his hair white.

Whilst on the other side of the cart, Dokja was also deep in thought as he glanced at the teens.

Kim Namwoon was one of the original survivors but where did the girl come from? Why was she here now? What has changed about the story?

Looking at her name tag, Lee Sena was a name that was briefly talked about in "The Ways of Survival."

She was a side character in Yoo Jonghyuk's story, only mentioned by the author a few times. She played a large role only in regressions where Kim Namwoon was Jonghyuk's companion. In fact, she wasn't supposed to even be here until very late in the story.

It's the third regression and Dokja can't help but wonder why she was here.

[ As the explosion cleared, a figure sat on top of the leftover rumble. The smoke slowly cleared, the smoke making way for a girl dressed in a school uniform. A dark grey skirt, white blouse, and red ribbon around her neck. The most important article of clothing was the green jacket that was too large for her size.

The person behind the chaos has shown themselves.

Lee Sena, a second-year student at Chungli highschool, classmate of Kim Namwoon. A girl who had more power than what she knew what to do with. Blessed by the Heavens themselves, she was their chosen one.

Never once had Yoo Jonghyuk seen the younger male scared, even in the face of danger he appeared to be delighted with the chaos, but the expression on his face at this very moment could be described in no other word less than terrified.

He was scared of her, yet they were destined together.

Even Jonghyuk, who is a regressor, could see that in any timeline, Kim Namwoon has always made his way back to Lee Sena.

Even in death, they will never part.

"He is mine, in life and death, we are meant to be together no matter what" she would repeat each time he regressed, "I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world."

Kim Namwoon was the same.

"I will never leave her. It will be this, always, for as long as she will let me." He says, "If I had had words to speak such a thing, I would have, but there were none that seemed big enough for it."\

They are a tragedy intertwined by fate.

Even when Kim Namwoon died, Lee Sena always found a way to be with him. Whether it was in the afterlife, she always ensured that his soul would be tightly tied to hers. They could be separate for periods of time, or they could be worlds apart, but in the end, they'll always find a way back to one another.

That was the story of the Delusional Demon and Star of Heaven ]

[ Amazing! ] The dokkaebi appeared once against before them, a dark grin on his face [ What happened here? I was watching the other carriages ]

His face showed nothing but delight as a total of 21 stars floated above his head.

[ 21 people connected to my channel. Haha, that's good, isn't it? Gosh, I thank all the constellations for your sponsorship ] The dokkaebi waved something in the air as he read the messages [ there's a high number of survivors right? the pair over there seems to be quite strange, especially that girl ]

Stares are directed at the pair, Namwoon still had his head hidden in her shoulder as Sena raises an eyebrow at the dokkaebi, glancing down at the messages on her screen.


[ You have killed 9 living beings ]

History : 9 humans
Coins Acquired : 2,700



"Will you release us now?! Didn't you get what you want?"

The teen couldn't recognize the businessman even if she tried but she could remember him as the one who flaunted his money to the dokkaebi not too long ago.

[ Haven't you seen the outside? Do you still want to go even in that condition? ] the dokkaebi chuckles [ that's admirable. I didn't expect much from this carriage but you managed to pass. Now, there should be a reward for overcoming hardships and surviving shouldn't there? How about the entitlement of being sponsored by the constellations? ]

Confused looks are sent at him.

[ hmm, you all look confused. You are incredibly weak ] A look is thrown at the teens once again, this time, Namwoon has his head raised and directed towards the floating being [ There are great people in the universe who pity you so they would like to be your sponsor. Understand? ]

A screen appears in front of them with a list of sponsors who are interested in them. Namwoon nudges Sena to take a look at his screen as she shows him hers.


[ Kim Namwoon sponsor options : ]

Abyssal Black Flame Dragon
Monarch of Small Fries



[ Lee Sena sponsor options : ]

Raging Little Sister


"pick the first one," Sena says, "it sounds cooler than the second one."

Kim Namwoon nods, already planning to pick the first one. If they both could see what the constellations were saying right now, they would hear profanities from the Monarch of Small Fries while laughter from the other 2.

[ Abyssal Black Flame Dragon sponsors you 200 coins ]

[ Raging Little Sister sponsors you 200 coins ]

[ Isn't that an interesting choice ] The dokkaebi laughs [ now that everyone has finished the selection, I believe it's time for a break. I will go prepare the next scenario, you all have 10 minutes to get ready ]

The dokkaebi promptly disappears after his announcement, leaving the survivors to their own devices.
