"Make it a y/n and orv type of shi where the dokabeki is the love interest
😊😊😊
Im sane"

okay RACHEL. i wrote it. have fun jerk off or something.
----------

The first time Y/N saw it was during the first scenario.

A strange, unfamiliar face. A fluffy ball of white fur, with two yellow horns poking from its head. It showed a face that loved horrific story, that loved money and torture.

It looked deranged.

It was a dokkaebi. It was a story teller. It gave Y/N her first scenario.

To kill a living organism.

Her vision was blurred. Blood covered her hands. She looked up and saw a man who thought there was blood on his face and tried to wipe it off, only to learn it was just blood on the window.

Both of them couldn't wipe the blood off. One had blood that wasn't there, and one had too much blood. No matter where Y/N wiped her hands, there would still be a bloody stench surrounding her, and there would be dried blood staining her hands.

She knew. She was the only one in the 3434 train to Bulgwang, carriage 3807 to kill a human. The rest of these people had caught a grasshopper. If only she was faster, she wouldn't have to stain her hands. But then a different person would die.

She tried to introduce herself to the man, who's name was Kim Dokja, but she couldn't shake hands because there was too much blood on hers. How dare she mark the hands of others with blood?

So, she introduced herself with her left hand on her chest, staining her shirt, blood dripping from the tips of her fingers of her right hand.

The first time they met, the dokkaebi and Y/N, was in a moment of tragedy.

---

When Kim Dokja fought the Dark Keeper, Y/N saw a different dokkaebi.

It was a dokkaebi that stuttered.

Kim Dokja called forward the dokkaebi and demanded his mail midfight.

[Hihit. It isn't my responsibility. I-It is Bihyung's thing.]

The dokkaebi gave Dokja his mail anyway.

From this, Y/N learned two things. One, these dokkaebis have a thing for satisfying the constellations. They're like streamers, who try to entertain their viewers to get donations and more views. Two, that dokkaebi from the first scenario's name is Bihyung.

After Kim Dokja takes down the Dark Keeper with ease, Y/N discovers more things in this newly formed world. She mustn't be so careless with life, nor kill as easily as she did in the first scenario. Or she'll end up like Han Myungoh.

---

In the reward room of the Cinema Dungeon, Y/N chooses to take a bow.

[Apollo's Bow - Replica] A-Grade Shooting Bow

[Infinite arrows to shoot with.]

[Arrows may inflict blessings or curses depending on the user's will.]

"Ah, Y/N-ssi, are you sure?"

"Yes. I've always been fascinated by the bow and arrow. Um, of course, it's also useful on the battlefield."

[Constellation 'Almighty Sun' shows his interest in you.]

The bow indeed proved to be useful. Though Y/N doesn't have great aim, and nearly stings Kim Dokja with an arrow, she inflicts Yoo Joonghyuk with a curse of paralysis, albeit only for a few seconds. This is enough for Dokja, and he takes down the Cinema Master.

Strangely, Y/N feels a familiar gaze on her. She turns her head, and for a moment, recognizes the outline of dokkaebi Bihyung. It fades into the smoke, and Y/N wonders if it was real.

Y/N falls onto her knees out of fatigue.

---

The disaster of questions is a confusing presence.

Y/N doesn't comprehend why he's asking questions. Even if she's not answering the questions posed, every time she speaks, the disaster of questions gets stronger.

On the ground, dazed, she hates that the disadvantage of using a bow is close combat becomes her weakness.

He was too fast for her to get away from quickly. Y/N looks up and sees Bihyung looking down at her. She smiles. Silly dokkaebi, maybe the disaster of questions will get you too. What are you going to do when all the incarnations in your channel die? Well, maybe Yoo Joonghyuk will live. How lonely.

Y/N finds her bow, stepped on and broken in half. It wasn't a very sturdy bow. However, she grabs an arrow, and uses all her strength to sit up. She hopes that the arrow won't miss, and that the curse inflicted will be enough to temporarily subdue the disaster.

The arrow strikes the disaster of question's forearm, and for a moment the pressure he exhibits decreases, and he pauses. Y/N makes an effort to duck and hide.

---

Y/N has been waiting for this day. Having received Apollo's Bow and learning from Yoo Sangah about Greek Mythology, she realized she wanted to have the constellation [Almighty Sun] as her sponsor.

A bow wielder, who could inflict punishment and pain while showing purity. The power of prophecy. Victory and honor. Order and balance. It was very cool.

Thus, upon learning that one of Apollo's symbols was a lyre, Y/N took it upon herself to mention that she liked stringed instruments and music as naturally as possible.

On her screen, she spotted constellation [Almighty Sun] and rejoiced in her heart. She could feel herself cleansed and held sharper senses.

Apollo, as a gift for his new incarnation, granted Y/N numerous skills: the ability to play the harp, accurate shooting, and the ability to add curses to arrows, albeit weak.

While looking through her improvements, Y/N looked over to Kim Dokja and saw him surrounded by stars. One of the kids said he looked like a christmas tree, and Y/N agreed. She then saw Kim Dokja provoke the constellations and have a bounty placed on him.

During the bounty scenario to kill Kim Dokja, Bihyung found a moment to privately talk to Y/N.

"I saw that your bow snapped, so have a new one. A service for contributing to the best entertainment on my channel."

[Eros' Bow - Replica]

Y/N received the bow and looked at the stats. It was a bow that, while inflicting physical damage, could either increasingly stir any existing emotions or plant the seed for new emotions.

Noticing that Bihyung was gauging her reaction, Y/N let a subtle smile show on her face and expressed her gratitude.

"Yes, thank you. This will be useful. Then, allow me to continue serving your channel."

"Ah, yes.. You should follow Kim Dokja. A disaster is coming."

Y/N let out a genuine amused smile and nodded, following the direction of Kim Dokja.

Bihyung's non-existant heart thumped.

'Huh? No, wait, the bureau is calling for me.'

---

"You have a talent for provocation."

"I guess I do. Ah, my stomach hurts really bad. That bastard really is as strong as he is stupid."

Y/N looked at her bow.

"It's a pity my old bow broke. I could've reduced the pain."

"Your current bow is pretty good too. It was useful for temporarily subduing Nirvana."

"Ahaha, I'm a little disappointed. So far I've only been using it to plant love and care into people's minds."

At that, even through the blur, Y/N could see that Kim Dokja attempted a blank face, but embarrassment and disgust were leaking out.

"Hey, say, you haven't gotten a new story recently, have you.."

"Yes? It's called [One blessed by Cupid's Bow]. I don't think it's very significant.."

'Seeing the emotions he exhibited, is it an embarrassing story? Does it involve a weird secret I have? No, I don't think.. Ah, I don't think I want to know what he's thinking anymore..' Y/N shivered.

Kim Dokja regained his composure, just short of losing it moments ago.

"I'm sure it's useful. We can exploit it. Good work." He held his thumb out in approval.

"Okay.. Yes, I'll work hard, I suppose."

---

"Bihyung, don't you have any morals?"

Kim Dokja had immediately found a secluded spot, far from the eyes of the constellations, to call for Bihyung.

"Ha? I'm just a dokkaebi. Why should I get involved with human politics?"

Kim Dokja put his hand on his chin.

"Yes, but it seems to me you're in love with a human. I'm sure it counts as involvement."

Bihyung recalled the strange story he gained and consulted Kim Dokja about some time ago, [One struck by Cupid's Arrow]. His white fur spiked, and he seemed to furrow his eyes.

"A story-teller is just a story-teller, so why would I-?!"

Kim Dokja shrugged.

"It's your story. I would say good luck, but it's also scaring me a little. Hey, don't have an emotional turmoil in front of me. I have things to do. See you later."

"Hey!"

Kim Dokja walked away and left Bihyung behind, leaving him clenching and unclenching his small furry hands.

"There's.. There's no way. W-with a human!?"

---

Y/N, with the pride of [Almighty Sun], was invited to the constellation banquet.

"[Surely I have to show off my incarnation! A talent! Hey, I'll have Dionysus take you on my golden chariot with that other guy. Sounds good?]"

'He's a little too enthusiastic.. I don't think I've done too much in comparison to Kim Dokja. Maybe he means I'm just the best incarnation he's had? Am I too confident? Will I develop Axe Disease[1]?'

Y/N nodded while smiling.

"Of course. I'll do my best to show off my amazing sponsor too."

---

Kim Dokja and Y/N had a rare moment of privacy without the watch of the constellations, waiting for Dionysus.

"Y/N, I have a word of advice for you."

Kim Dokja had a very serious expression on his face, like a best friend giving relationship advice or a parent telling a child that their partner was a bad influence on them. He held Y/N's shoulder firmly while holding up one finger. Y/N wondered what brought this on.

"Listen, in terms of appearance, Bihyung can barely be within 150 kilometers of Yoo Joonghyuk. Actually, Yoo Joonghyuk can't even slap Bihyung's face. He will have to beat Bihyung under his boot and stomp him 77 times[2]."

"Is appearance important in a partner to Dokja-ssi?"

"So, you really do consider Bihyung a romantic interest. You should consider his appearance. He's very ugly."

"I'm not that oblivious to Bihyung's feelings. Maybe I return his, haha."

"And! And he's a different species!"

"Is appearance really important to you?"

"Reconsider! As your fellow companion and friend, I'd prefer if your partner was a handsome human man."

"Is appearance really significant?"

"Yes, yes! He's a dokkaebi, and he thrives off human lives as entertainment. Reconsider!"

"So, you wouldn't marry Bihyung?"

"Hah? Marry Bihyung? I'd rather kill myself[3]!"

"Then, what would you prefer?"

"Ah, me?"

Kim Dokja let go of her shoulder and thought seriously.

"I'd marry a female version of Yoo Joonghyuk. She'll be very beautiful. Maybe she can slap Yoo Joonghyuk three times[4]."

"??"

"You're getting me off topic! No, what I'm saying, is.."

Kim Dokja took a deep breath.

"Firstly, reconsider! Terrible one to choose!"

He began fidgeting with his fingers.

"Secondly, if you really do like him, then I won't say anything. I-I'll wish you luck with that."

Kim Dokja held a deep frown on his face that made Y/N want to laugh.

"Yes. As your friend and companion, I'll think about it deeply. Thank you."

---

Bihyung rescued Kim Dokja and Y/N from the gazes of the constellations.

After sending Kim Dokja away, Bihyung and Y/N were left alone.

In the corner where they stayed, it was very dark. If one listened closely, one could hear the murmurs of conversation between petty constellations, friendly incarnations, and overall excitement.

Suddenly, Y/N felt very shy.

She looked at Bihyung's new clothing, and couldn't help blurting out:

"I think you look handsome in that."

Bihyung looked like he hadn't expected Y/N to say anything like that.

"Y-yes, thank you."

It seemed Bihyung was also shy. Y/N found it funny.

"Actually, you're still cute. I think you're always very cute."

Bihyung's mouth seemed to want to gape open. Y/N, emboldened, suddenly wanted to confess.

"You're very expressive, and your face is very funny.

"I like how fluffy you are, and how you suck up to Dokja-ssi because you subconsciously view him as your boss.

"I like how unlike most dokkaebi, you seem to be more dedicated to this story. You're immersed and know emotion. You understand that us incarnations aren't play things, at least as much as you can. Anyway, it's different from the first scenario.

"You put a lot of dedication into telling and showing this story. Perhaps you deserve to be here.

"I like your story. Do you like mine?"

Bihyung was very hesitant. Y/N couldn't tell, but he seemed to have the dokkaebi equivalent of a blush.

"Yes.. Yes, I like your story."

"Then, do you like me?"

"Yes, I like you."

Y/N grasped Bihyung's hand and kissed the back of his palm.

"I like you too."


That day, Y/N shined brightly in the spotlight, and her radiant smile struck the hearts of even constellations. For reasons unknown to others, she appeared to emit a special happiness that only youths in love experience.

2100 words

[1]- Axe Disease (도끼병) is Korean slang. It's a figurative disease where one believes that everyone has a crush on them. Derived from word play, where "찍다" means to swing an axe to hit wood, and it's also slang for having a crush.

[2]- In the novel, Kim Dokja often judges the appearance of others by how many times they can slap Yoo Joonghyuk's face. This is Korean slang, but Kim Dokja seems to have his standards set at Yoo Joonghyuk's face, thus using him only to judge others.

[3]- This is a reference in the novel. Persephone "adopts" Kim Dokja as the prince of the Underworld, then suggests romantic partners for him when he takes over ownership. Unlike Kim Dokja in this oneshot, Persephone says she and Hades aren't judgemental parents and don't mind interspecies relationships when recommending Bihyung. At this, Kim Dokja says the famous quote, "Marry Bihyung? I'd rather kill myself." (Novel chapter 388, in volume 4)

[4]- Reference to the Punisher [;)]. For webtoon readers, she's female Yoo Joonghyuk. (First Appearance: Novel Chapters 228-229)
