Episode 6
The first time Baek Do-hyun met her was on a day when humanity was close to the end.
Hundreds of sudden cracks appeared simultaneously across the country.
It was the first large-scale rift to occur since Babel elevated it to a ‘high-priority management nation’.
A wave of monsters that seems to have no end in sight.
The hunters fought desperately in their respective positions, but it was not enough.
The situation was particularly dire on the Jamsil Bridge side, where only a few elite guilds, like Babylon, were fighting.
The unsupported force was increasingly pushed back, and the bridge was rapidly collapsing.
While I was feeling increasingly limited.
It’s like adding insult to injury.
Instead of Baek Do-hyeon being put in danger while trying to save the citizens, Guild Leader Gyeon Ji-rok is fatally injured.
“Rock! No. Wake up, open your eyes, Kyeonjirok!”
“…..Fuck. It hurts so bad.”
“Are you laughing right now? You, arm. Damn it……”
A completely crushed shoulder.
Baek Do-hyeon couldn’t continue speaking at the sight of such a miserable sight. However, Gyeon Ji-rok laughed even as he vomited blood.
“Hyung. Our kind and gentle Baek Do-hyun. ……What would you say if I told you that I had a deus ex machina that I hadn’t written yet? Would you scold me for not writing it yet?”
“This is not the time to joke around, you punk. Hurry up and stop the bleeding……”
widely.
Gyeon Ji-rok grabbed Baek Do-hyeon by the collar as he was feeling around. He held on tight.
Then he whispered with a kind of mad look in his eyes.
“Don’t tell anyone what you see from now on.”
With blood-soaked hands, Kyeon Ji-rok broke the necklace he always wore.
From then on, it was like a dream.
It felt like a dream.
First of all, let’s start with the change in color of the sky.
Thunder struck like a signal, and the rampant monsters were thrown into the Han River with a final thud.
Woooooooooooooo-!
A long resonating sound was heard.
The sound of a giant curtain tearing through the sky.
Baek Do-hyeon looked up while holding onto the unconscious Kyeon Ji-rok.
The shadows covering the sky grew larger and darker.
and,
He who sits on the head of the black dragon.
Even though it was my first time seeing it, I knew it instinctively.
‘The Magic King…..!’
Ranked #1 in rumors.
Joe, the number one real estate agent in the country.
Tadak. The magician king, who had landed smoothly, walked towards them.
Baek Do-hyun opened his eyes wide.
It was a wonderful scene.
With every step the king took, the collapsed spaces were being restored as if they were being rewound.
The magician king asked.
“Did you do that to him?”
“……I can’t say no.”
“If you did that, you’d die. Speak straight.”
“It wasn’t my fault, but you were hurt because of me. Are you an acquaintance of Rock? Even if you hold me responsible, I have no excuse. I’m sorry.”
“What’s your name?”
“…..Baek, this is Do-hyeon.”
After hearing the name, he muttered something for a moment and then quickly pulled back his hood.
Their eyes met each other, facing each other against the backlight.
Baek Do-hyeon barely managed to swallow a groan at the sight beyond his imagination.
Joe chuckled.
“I’m surprised too. The title is so flashy. I’m sure it’ll annoy people around me.”
“Okay. I don’t want to get entangled in this any more. I trusted him because he’s the ‘Guardian of Goodwill’. Look, he doesn’t seem like a bad guy, does he? I’ll take Gyeonjirok from here, so don’t worry.”
That was the end.
A black dragon flew up against the sunset sky.
Intense, and the first and last conversation I had with her.
Although he didn’t tell anyone, not even Gyeon Ji-rok, Baek Do-hyeon never forgot the sight of her back that day.
Until the moment when his one life came to an end.
* * *
And… now. The second life.
Still small, still cute, and still with an indifferent face.
“Ugh. There’s nothing to eat. Is this really a house where people live?”
“……”
“Ugh. There’s no bed. What the heck? This is so disappointing.”
“……”
This… This is the kind of person this was…?
The Magic King (Special: Ranked 1st), who had rolled up his blanket and become a cocoon, peeked his head out.
“hey.”
“……yes?”
“Please order some tteokbokki. I’m hungry after working out for the first time in a while. I’m really hungry.”
“……tteokbokki?”
“Oh my, my stomach. I have no strength left in my body because of the work I have been doing that I don’t deserve. I feel like I’m going to die soon.”
“……Where should I order it?”
“Yeop-tteok. Half and half. Less spicy. Add cheese.”
This is not it.
This isn’t real.
After finishing the phone order, Baek Do-hyun kept thinking while putting on his shoes while listening to the magician king mutter, “It would be delicious if you cut up a hot dog and put it in too.”
“While you’re at it, take a Melona on your way back.”
“……”
Where is the convenience store?
It didn’t seem to be nearby. It hadn’t been long since I returned, so the surrounding locations were still vague.
Then I might be a little late… I have to hurry!
Love, it is the most voluntary bond of humanity.
Baek Do-hyeon, a border collie who wrote “Jonjal” and read “First Love’s Fool,” hurriedly walked away.

A couple of hours ago.
The abilities that Gyeonjio received from the Holy Spirit could be explained by a giant archive, or computer library.
‘Libraryization’
To put it simply, it was similar to a high-ranking demon changing the battle environment into a field optimized for him.
By activating this ‘librarianization’, Geo becomes the owner of the library, i.e. the sole representative of the Holy Wisdom.
It was possible to document and read character information, edit the ‘development’ or ‘ending’, find desired records, and implement them, etc.
When he first learned of Geo’s abilities, Gyeonjirok was furious, saying, “What kind of Munchkin Bell-bung scammer is this?”
However, her covenant nature encouraged Geo to climb the tower, saying that he was still immature.
As if it were not a mistake, the proficiency level of ‘librarianization’ displayed in the status window was only 17%.
Anyway, the conclusion is that it is incredibly strong.
‘My ability… seems pretty cool.’
Geo, who had even put a period in the air, made a gesture to get rid of the quill pen.
Even for the great wizard who boasts monstrous computational abilities, ‘modification’ is the most difficult area to handle.
But this time, it was relatively easy thanks to the regressor who knew the beginning of the matter well.
The scene where the ‘development’ was overturned is now clean as if nothing happened.
Geo raised his hand, trying to hide his pride. That’s it.
“It was embarrassing to be together, so let’s not meet.”
“Okay, wait a minute……!”
“No. I’m going to throw off all the shackles and restraints of this world and go find my own happiness.”
Baek Do-hyeon didn’t even have time to catch it.
Geo quickly jumped forward with a speed reminiscent of an agility-specialized class.
He quickly dodges them all and hides in the alley next to Starbucks.
The protagonists of the signboard shop were some very scary guys.
According to the rules of the genre, once they catch a so-called ‘big shot’, they usually rip him off, including the bottom.
Moreover, he is the number one ranked king and giant.
If you get involved in the wrong way and get labeled as ‘Oh my god, is this kid in the best assistant position?’, it’s all over.
‘That won’t do. Who can do that?’
There is only one passenger on the Gyeonjio bus, Gyeonjio.
Where would a regressor dare to go, like a purebred border collie.
[I am truly amazed at the agile survival instinct of the ‘Reader of Fate’.]
Jiying.
‘Who is it, in this emergency?’

Your room
Starbucks, indeed. I guess they use a good router. Even though it’s just a side street, the Wi-Fi is there and KakaoTalk is going crazy.
Geo unlocked his phone, impressed by the capital power of the dinosaur franchise…..
‘Oh, no, no, no.’
Two photos sent by Kyeonjirok.
It was Geo’s empty room.
There are only faint traces of a bed that stayed there, which touches the heart of those who see it.
With his pupils wide open, Geo quickly read the story of the temples in Gangwon-do and the Buddhist temples.
A, Gangwon-do.
The boarding school in Yongin was terrible, but the temple in Gangwon-do?
My head was spinning. Even during my two college entrance exams, I had never thought this fast or this intensely.
The calculation didn’t take long. Yes, tomorrow’s pain is farther away than today’s pain. I made up my mind.
Geo got up from behind the telephone pole and called out without hesitation, crossing his legs.
“There, sir.”
「……!」
Baek Do-hyeon, who was chasing the missing Magic King, turned around in surprise.
Geo asked, looking at that neat, trustworthy, and very upright and wonderful-looking face.
“Your situation seems okay. Do you have money and a house?”
* * *
It was a comment that sounded perfectly like a runaway teenager… Baek Do-hyun ends his short recollection.
When taking care of a stray cat, people often say that they have been chosen. Baek Do-hyeon was now fully understanding that expression.
Except for the human race, this small person (special: ranked 1st) did not differ much in habits from small animals.
Shameless, lazy, doesn’t move around much, and naturally gives orders…
“What are you looking at?”
Rough and……
“Huh. Hey Mr. Baek, I’m sleepy. Turn off the lights.”
‘……cute.’
Is it really necessary to see people as just people…?
Oh no. You have to come to your senses. What the… Baek Do-hyun, are you such an easy man?
Baek Do-hyeon shook his head and steeled his resolve. As a returnee who had been through countless terrible and brutal battlefields, he had a cold, serious expression.
“I’m going to sleep now. I also bought a new toothbrush. Wake up.”
“Ugh. This is annoying.”
“No, you won’t get a headache. Didn’t you eat two Melonas? Hurry up.”
Geo got up with a thud.
I didn’t really have anywhere to go and was in a hurry, so I followed him, but this man was secretly really picky.
Don’t they nag you for spilling some of the tteokbokki soup? Don’t they give you hints that you only eat the sausages?
He even harassed her for leaving behind a Melona stick that she had already eaten.
‘Would a person who really left home live this sadly…?’
[Your Covenant, ‘Reader of Fate’ nods vigorously.]
[They express concern, saying that it is too suffocating for the child to live without cleaning up.]
‘What should I do, Sister? I’m a good person so I have to endure it.’
[My precious little incarnation is sometimes too soft, the saint laments.]
[She is very upset, saying that she shouldn’t live like that in this scary world, that she has been anxious ever since she said she was going to sleep over at another man’s house, and that she is going to keep making her brother worry.]
‘however……’
[Trait, ‘Spoiled Child’ evolves one level!]
‘……’
[……]
This guy Babel.
From afar, the wind of the skirt… no, the leader of the star wind world coughed in vain.
Yugumuyun was silent. Gyeonjio quietly concentrated on brushing his teeth.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
