ED, the writer of ‘Aise’, who was working on part 1 by borrowing the body of the demon god Azathoth, looked at Choi Cheol-ho with incomprehensible eyes.
‘How is he here?’
ED, the author of Aise, who created the novel ‘The World After the Apocalypse’, read his novel dozens or hundreds of times to perfect it.
The author, who had given up eating and drinking and was immersed in the novel, suddenly found himself inside the novel.
It was a series of confusion at first, but since he was the author of this novel, he knew what would happen in the future, and using the author’s unique talent of ‘setting modification’, he directly experienced the episodes of the novel from the perspectives of various characters.
However, I couldn’t watch the last episode every time, as if I was enveloped in a hazy fog.
The author, despairing of not being able to see the end of the novel himself, began looking for a writer to write the ending of the novel for him, and was able to find a writer named Lee Do-yoon.
He accepted the ghostwriting offer easier than expected and was sucked into ‘Ise.’
That’s how I wanted him to watch the ending for me.
The first time went smoothly.
Lee Do-yoon, who appeared there at the beginning of Part 2, fulfilled Lee Si-woo’s role and saw the ending together with the main characters of Part 2.
But something strange happened.
-I don’t like it.
-This is not the end.
-(Jin) Give me the ending!
The ‘readers’ who suddenly appeared sent the newly appeared real protagonist back to the past.
That is the moment when Lee Do-yoon’s second episode began.
“What, why did I wake up in part 1?”
Writer ED started his life again from the first part of ‘Ise’.
Why did I wake up in Aise Part 1?
The reason is probably the ‘regression’ created by those so-called ‘readers’.
Just as Lee Do-yoon returned, writer ED also returned to the starting point.
“If I want to meet him again, I have to make Part 1 proceed according to the original story.”
As Lee Do-yoon’s regression was repeated, the writer ED’s regression was also repeated.
Writer ED, who felt tired of continuing to live as the same character, possessed someone else’s body in Part 1 every time a regression occurred, and after finishing Part 1, in Part 2, he possessed Jeong Joo-won, who could always watch Do-yoon Lee closely.
The second round was repeated, and then the third round.
In the 3rd time, I tried to induce Lee Si-hyeon to open the barrier by possessing the body of a demon, but this guy appeared.
Something has changed.
Author ED concluded that.
Otherwise, Lee Do-yoon, who repeatedly returned to the starting point of Part 2, could not appear in Part 1 by possessing Choi Cheol-ho.
‘It’s just like me, isn’t it?’
A writer who becomes possessed and watches the story in a novel. Although he brought it with him, Lee Do-yoon looked a lot like him.
‘No, it’s different.’
ED, who was watching Lee Do-yoon, or rather Choi Cheol-ho, shook his head.
At least ED, the writer of ‘Ise’, did not touch the story of Part 1.
Since ‘Ise’ started with Part 2, Part 1 repeated the planned story.
But he was trying to change the story from the first part.
“I know how to leave it like that!”
Writer ED, or rather the demon god Azathoth, who dodged the divine sword wielded by Choi Cheol-ho, opened his palm towards Choi Cheol-ho.
The intention was to cause a demonic storm, the demon god’s main attack technique.
“go away!”
Quaaaang!
An enormous amount of magical energy erupted from Azathoth’s hand, and Choi Cheol-ho was unable to block the attack.
Sigh.
‘Smile?’
The attack was clearly successful, but at the last moment, the demon god Azathoth, who saw Choi Cheol-ho smiling, looked at the place where Choi Cheol-ho was covered in demonic energy with an uneasy expression.
6.
There was demonic energy rushing around.
I used Kang Moo-seong’s shield to spread the shield and used heal on his throbbing body from being exposed to his attack.
I was afraid he might be the god of the demon world, so I tried to give him a little bit of trouble, but I almost ended up going into trouble.
But thanks to you, I was able to get what I wanted.
[I was physically attacked by the ‘writer’. Talent ‘transfer’ is activated. The talent of a ‘writer’ is transferred. ‘Writer’ talent ‘Modify Settings’ is added to the slot.]
Writer’s talent added to the last remaining slot.
The moment I became convinced that he was a writer, my goal was practically set.
The reason I was able to come here was because I received the talent of readers.
I also received the talent of a reader, and there was nothing that a writer couldn’t receive.
So I aimed.
The writer’s talent.
He probably didn’t know that his talent would also be transferred to me, so he attacked me obediently and I was able to receive his talent.
‘Long live EX level talent!’
How fortunate I am to have this EX level talent.
I think I would have had a really hard time without this.
“Okay then, what should we do?”
Even if the demon is defeated here, the author will not die.
Instead, the content of ‘Ise’ will be completely changed.
He had already decided where to use his talents.
So now.
‘I will defeat him with the talents of the Seven Heroes!’
Paang!
After cutting down the storm of demon energy, I raced along the open road.
As I rushed out through the demonic storm, I could see the demon’s panicked appearance.
-No damage at all?
“I’m sorry, but what you’re fighting about right now is…” … .”
Six heroes excluding the strongest!
Suddenly!
The divine sword cut off the demon’s arm.
-Keuuk.
“Next is the bridge!”
The dragon’s tail moved and grabbed the demon’s leg, pulling the body of the fallen creature.
And I swung my shield at the face of the guy who came close.
-Gagging!
Although it is said to be the boss mob of the final gate, it is not a monster that cannot be caught.
The reason why Choi Kang couldn’t catch him was because the story progressed only when Azathoth, the demon god, was sealed.
However, I am not limited by the story.
-Your guy… … . When the Demon God Dies, Part 2… … .
The Demon God who fell down after being hit by the shield stood up and muttered, and I shouted at the Demon God.
“For everyone to have a happy ending… “This is the only way!!”
Azathoth, the demon god, looked like he couldn’t understand my shout.
happy ending.
It was the ending that both the author and the readers wanted.
In order to see that ending, the plot of Part 1 has to change?
The demon god, who was about to throw his mace at Choi Cheol-ho, stopped his fist.
I don’t know why, but it was because I wanted to trust him.
Without missing the opportunity, I swung my sword at him.
Ugh.
-I hope your choice was the right one.
The demon god Azathoth said those last words and began to turn into ash.
“I really knocked it out.”
“Choi Cheol-ho!!”
“ah… Lived… … .”
“That guy… how… … .”
“Cheolho, are you okay?!”
“This doesn’t make sense… … .”
Defeated the demon god Azathoth.
The guys who usually ignored Choi Cheol-ho looked in disbelief when I defeated the demon.
There was also a guy who breathed a sigh of relief.
“you… How on earth can we use our talents…? … .”
After hearing Gaon Yoon’s words, I spoke to the guys with a relieved expression.
“Because I am not the ‘real’ Choi Cheol-ho.”
“What?”
“Then what about you…?” … .”
“It doesn’t matter, right? “It’s over because the demon has been defeated.”
[The Demon God, Azathoth, has been defeated. The final gate has been cleared.]
While watching the system message that the final gate had been cleared, I waved at the six heroes who were still unconscious.
“Everyone, see you later.”
“Now, wait… … . “Who are you?!”
Ignoring the shouts coming from behind, I walked toward the gate leading outside.
7.
[The foundation for a happy ending has been laid.]
“hmm?”
I thought I would go out through the gate, but I ended up in a completely strange place.
I looked around to see that I had suddenly returned from Choi Cheol-ho to Lee Si-woo.
-Wow, I never thought we could transfer our talents and fly into the past.
-I couldn’t even imagine.
I saw some ‘reader’ guys.
It seemed like this place was created by those guys.
“What do you think? Did you like this ending?”
-hmm? What are you talking about?
-We haven’t seen the ending yet.
-A world where demons and the final gate have disappeared. Is it possible for a part 2 of ‘Ise’ to exist?
I nodded to what the readers said.
“Of course, Lee Si-hyeon did not deploy the barrier and the final gate disappeared. From now on, all that remains is for everyone to be happy.”
-Okay, is that so?
I said this when I saw the readers looking confused at my words.
“I gave you the happy ending you wanted. So, my job is done now, right?”
The eyes of seven readers turned to me at my words.
-Are you going back?
-Even if we give permission, will the author allow it?
At those words, I slowly looked away.
Space began to distort where my gaze was directed.
-What, what is it?
-How did you get here…? … .
“Because this is my world.”
ED, the writer whom readers had so desperately wanted to meet, appeared, but the readers’ reaction was lukewarm.
“Did you get the ending you wanted?”
-Okay, I guess so… … .
-I haven’t seen a proper happy ending yet.
-Originally, there were a lot of things I wanted to ask you when I met you, but this guy made the incident happen… … .
Writer ED turned to me after hearing the readers’ words.
“Lee Si-woo, no Lee Do-yoon. I ask you. “Can the post-apocalyptic world you transformed have a happy ending?”
In response to the author’s question, I thought of the friends who shared the ups and downs with me in Part 2.
Eat.
“hmm?”
“We should check that now.”
“what? What are you talking about? “Are you saying you won’t go back?”
-He said he would stay in the novel, right?
-Yeah, I guess so.
In response to the doubtful voices of the author and readers, I asked them both.
“Once a writer has created a story, he has to finish it, and once a reader has seen a story, shouldn’t he read it to the end?”
The expressions of the author and readers brightened at my words.
-So you can still see it?
-Isn’t it exciting to see how Part 2 will change?
-A happy life for everyone. Does such a thing really exist?
I chuckled at the readers’ words.
“Only the author knows that.”
After hearing my words, seven readers turned to look at the writer ED.
“Why is everyone looking at me? “That guy is the author of this novel now.”
ED, the writer who had entrusted me with the ghostwriting, pointed his finger at me, and I shrugged my shoulders.
It didn’t matter who the writer was.
Now, the faces of the guys who had gone through hardships and hardships with me were appearing in my mind.
“You won’t regret it, right? I can’t go back home, I can’t go back for the third time. “You know that, right?”
“of course.”
“Is it still okay?”
“I remember those guys. “That’s enough.”
The author and readers grabbed my shoulders at my words.
-Ugh, that’s cringy.
-I never thought I would hear that line in person.
-crazy… … .
“Get ready. I’ll send you back to the moment you first woke up. The post-apocalyptic world you changed. “I’m looking forward to it.”
When writer ED waved his hand, a gate appeared.
Before going there, I looked back at the writers and readers and said,
“If I get off, I will die?”
The author and readers burst into laughter at those words.
