「Those Who Seek Solace」LCF x ORV

Chapter 13 - The End's Beginning

The annihilation of worldlines, leaving only the 1863rd and 1864th regression turn to continue.

Cale Henituse was planning just that.

The train that had once continued to drift in space finally came to a stop at the center of the universe and Cale, the Oldest Dream, resides inside it.

[Fragments collected: 98%]

All those years of collecting Kim Dokja's divided souls had taken a toll on his mental health.

「E very th in g wi ll be don e. Al l o f tho se sac rif ices yo u ma de wi ll fi na lly co me to a n end.」

It was because Cale had to ruin all of Kim Dokjas' lives so that he can wake up the one he knew.

One has a happy life contrary to the one he knew, one is full of vigor and dreams, one is successful, and one has a family of his own.

He destroyed all of those for his own goal.

「T he la st fr agm ent i s co min g, C al e.」

The redhead continued to hug his small knees as he continued to dream, waiting for Kim Dokja and his companions to barge in into the Final Wall and kill the current Oldest Dream that is inside it.

Cale looked at the several clusters of stars outside, different planets revolving in their orbits as his gaze stared longer at the two Earths where the Secretive Plotter and the Kim Dokja he knew live.

He was deep in thought before he could hear the subway train's door getting smashed open.

[The giant story, 'Finder of Fragments' had begun its final storytelling!]

[The giant story, 'Dreamer From Another Universe' had begun its storytelling!]

Doe-like eyes stared at reddish-brown ones, Cale didn't know how many times he stared at those eyes but surely, he still can't help but love the owner of those eyes more.

Cale activated his Silver Shield in time to deflect the sword that was coming to stab him and stared at Kim Dokja who was holding that very weapon.

The redhead flicked his wrist, making the train rotate and everyone except himself tumbled around.

Cale Henituse would gladly become the villain of every worldline just so that he can save the Kim Dokja who was slumbering in the 1864th regression turn.

Cale parried the incoming attack from Yoo Sangah, then the attack from Han Sooyoung and Jung Heewon.

Everyone had attacked him repeatedly, and he deflected all of it successfully.

All except from Yoo Joonghyuk.

The protagonist had stabbed his arm, and Cale could only lament at the fact that he felt nothing but numbness.

He hated pain, but what he hated the most was the fact that he couldn't feel anything anymore.

Sentences poured out from his arm instead of blood, Cale chuckled to himself when he was once again reminded that he was dead and nothing can change that.

「Cale Henituse as Kim Rok Soo was someone who cannot forget.」

[The Fourth Wall have off-set some of the stories pouring out!] 

[The giant story, 'Agony for Aeons' had begun its storytelling!]

「Cale had to do it, he needed to destroy them just for that one reader.」

Cale Henituse kept parrying all the attacks, his eyes devoid of any emotion as his stories continued to tell.

「That one reader who kept him company from the loneliness of death.」
