#orv novel chapter 449

[pttucker]

– I know that we'd have never won if you really went all out. Even if Yoo Joonghyuk regained the memories of 1864 regression turns and combined his powers with mine, it was still impossible to surpass the Plotter through purely the Status of our Story. Not only was he the total sum of the histories spanning from 0th turn all the way up to 1863, but he also endured an uncountable period of time afterwards, on top of that. Even then, the 'Secretive Plotter' chose to lose rather than to kill us. "Because you are a necessity, you fool." [41] listening to me yap on replied. "You possess the last fragment of the 'Final Wall', that's why."

Don't sell yourself short, Dokja. You did manage to make 1863rd Joonghyuk eat dirt...

Or, at least, the Fourth Wall did.

Which, speaking of, I'm not really certain what Secretive Plotter is planning to do with said Fourth Wall. I know "our" Joonghyuk tried to destroy it to get to the secrets beyond but you'd think Secretive Plotter would have tried that already if that's all he wanted?

Again, he could have killed Dokja at any time, and even if we assume that killing him will, idk, set the Wall free or something, if Secretive Plotter actually doesn't care about preserving Dokja's wellbeing, he could do some pretty nasty things to try to break it while it's inside(?) him. (Is it actually in him or around him? It seems like it might actually be around him now that I think about it, and the Library is inside.)

Granted, the most effective thing would probably be to just kidnap one of Dokja's companions and threaten to kill them if he doesn't turn it off/break it himself. Secretive Plotter could even just threaten to torture the other Joonghyuk. Then he wouldn't have to worry about any residual feelings for his old companions.

...What I'm saying is that there are a lot more effective plans if he was truly completely heartless and cruel.

So I'm not really certain what he plans to do with Dokja / the Fourth Wall, but it is very Yoo Joonghyuk of him to get all of his frustration out in a big epic fight while not really doing anything else to Dokja for the entire novel lmfao.

The imagery here is so fucking funny actually

[pttucker]

Fei Hu glared at the uninvited guest Han Sooyoung with unhappy eyes. Jung Heewon alternated her gaze between him and Kim Dokja on her back and a nice idea suddenly popped up in her head. "My liege!" As if she was re-enacting the 'Flag Contest', she quickly embraced Kim Dokja and shouted out in an impassioned voice. "My liege, are you alright??" His pale Incarnation Body sagged limply in her arms and shook around a little. "Oh, my king!" Everyone was now looking at her. Lee Jihye's jaw dropped slightly, while Han Sooyoung looked dumbfounded. As for Fei Hu… "Ah…" He looked as if he understood everything now. "I see, Incarnation Jung Heewon. So, that's how it was…" His gaze shifted from Jung Heewon, Han Sooyoung and to Lee Jihye, before eventually landing on Kim Dokja's face next. He sneakily bit his lip. Like a tragic extra feeling envious of the chosen protagonist, he slowly lowered his head and turned around to leave.

Heewon!

...Well that's one use for an annoying, passed out squid man who tried to sacrifice himself again.

(AND WHO JUST GOT HIMSELF KIDNAPPED! AGAIN! BY THE SAME FREAKING GUY! ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? KIM DOKJA!!!)

Ahhhhhh and the narration calling Dokja the chosen protagonist!!!! And this other guy is just some tragic extra. COULD WE BE ANY MORE META?

Oh man and the way Sooyoung just shoves Fei Hu all "get tf outta my way where is Kim Dokja?" 😂

And Uriel is over there about to be all "catch these hands" and restart an entire war. 😂 How dare you flirt with her precious Heewon! She will kill you.

Wait until Dokja gets back and flirt with him instead. You're a pretty boy so Uriel will probably forgive you.

...Though Sooyoung may not...

And Joonghyuk... well... Joonghyuk seems like maybe he needs a nap right about now.

And Hyunsung is a sword.
