My Second Life in Another World - Chapter 442: Soap Opera

“Even if I die, she wouldn’t.” The Beast lord said staring at the young Yoo-sung.

Scared she shook like a leaf. It was similar to her own memory of that day. And now she will see her die. But that was their fate for following the wrong person.

‘What is she doing?’ Dok-ja had an ominous feeling.

“I know you wouldn’t bother to keep me alive now, because if you do I will continue to stick to my goal. I would not stop until I have torn this world down.” Yoo-sung stared at Jung-hyuk, and his frown deepened.

“Don’t even think about it,” Dok-ja whispered but Jung-hyuk shook his head. He wasn’t going to attack, now right now.

“Then I suppose I’ll need to keep you on a leash for a while longer,” Queresha said. The older Yoo-sung stared at her blankly, but soon her eyes were filled with anger.

“You… Don’t fuck around!” This was bullshit, why would she do this?

“I told you she will be alright so just kill me! Why won’t you do it?” Yoo-sung was tired of it all.

She understood that it didn’t matter what she did, nothing would change. None of the people she lost will come back, no matter how much she struggles her suffering will never be rewarded. She didn’t want this to continue, so why wouldn’t they put an end to her?

“We can’t, he promised to save Shin Yoo-sung.” Queresha has said this before, but it didn’t help in any capacity.

“I already told you she will live even if I die!” Yoo-sung didn’t lie. But, it was pointless.

“What’s your name?” That question stunned the Beast Lord, “Go on, what is your name?” Queresha asked again.

“Y-You…” For the first time, Yoo-sung’s eyes shook.

“He promised to save Shin Yoo-sung, whether that be the future or present doesn’t matter.”

‘I don’t think that’s what he meant… but we never know with that guy.’ Hee-won had a wry smile on her lips as the others watched on. There was not much they could say in a situation like this.

“Y-You’re crazy…” Yoo-sung was beyond shocked.

Why was this happening now? She wanted this to end. Why would they continue to prolong her suffering?

[It’s too late… even if you save me now… nothing will change… it is all over…] Dok-ja clenched his fist when he heard Yoo-sung’s real thoughts.

Even though he knew that the younger Yoo-sung would survive even if the older one died according to the theory in the novel. He wanted to save her, that kid suffered for way too long to die like this. That is why he wanted to join this group which made every effort to save her.

Everything she did was a façade, she never wanted to destroy Earth. She just wanted her suffering to end and got forced into the role of a Disaster. This long gruelling journey had broken her down. She left her world, and even if she goes back there will be nothing left. And there was nothing for her in this new world either.

[Your Understanding of the Character ‘Shin Yoo-sung’ has increased tremendously.]

‘Say something you damn sunfish!’ Dok-ja stared at the only other person who could share this pain with Yoo-sung.

Yoo Jung-hyuk the Regressor. He had read everything about this man’s life. He had left behind a world he couldn’t save and had to meet the same people held dear again. And he would have to watch them die again before he left the world to repeat the cycle in his pursuit of saving everyone.

But he didn’t say a word instead his eyes were focused on Queresha.

“W-Why won’t you understand…” Yoo-sung couldn’t handle this any longer. But a voice of reason brought together her broken mind.

“I understand what you are feeling,” Queresha kneeled before her.

She had lost her home, her people, her world, and even her body. In the end, she had nothing to return to, nothing to live for. So, she understood what Yoo-sung was going through. In the moment, everything feels worthless and the only thing one can think of is ending their life to find peace.

But the only things that will follow them in death will be regrets.

“What I can tell you from my experience is that you should never hesitate when the light is in front of you.” The red eyes didn’t look so empty anymore, as the cold face slowly melted into a gentle expression, “If I made the wrong choice that day, I would’ve died with nothing. But, now I have a family that cares for me as much as I do for them. So, don’t give up that easily.”

Yoo-sung stared at Queresha with a vacant expression. Can she deny her words? No. The skill confirmed that she didn’t lie. She didn’t lie once since they met. And it made her wonder…

‘Can I …live? After everyone died… can I really live?’ The question wasn’t aimed at herself.

‘Yes, you can live. Please live with me and Unnie. I don’t want to be separated from her.’ The Beast Lord turned to look at the young Shin Yoo-sung.

Who this Unnie was? She didn’t know.

But she knew that her lost younger self had found her home. A home she didn’t want to leave. Her eyes told her everything, she put up a brave front but the kid was afraid to lose what she finally found.

“I…” However, the next words did not come out.

“Tch! Why is this happening?” Do-gak clicked his tongue. His living room was occupied by this shameless human.

“You got some more chips or something? They are tasty.” Haru kicked his feet up and enjoyed the scenario through the stream.

“You fucking monkey that item is worth 10,000 coins!” Do-gak snatched the packet out of his hands.

‘I kept these for so long, but this bastard ate it all!’ He glared at Haru who frowned.

“Well, with that price they are shit. I know someone who can make better chips than that with regular stuff,” This insolence pissed him off further.

If he could, Do-gak wanted to rip this guy into pieces.

‘It is like he purposefully riling me up.’ That was true.

“What a boring place, the sofa is shit and there is nothing sweet either. My house is a thousand times better than this dump.” And even if he knew, there was no way for Do-gak to deal with him.

‘How much longer will I have to put up with him?’ Do-gak found himself in a bind here.

“You see that? I told you they can deal with the disaster easily.” Haru pointed at the screen.

“Do you think I don’t have eyes?” Do-gak gritted his teeth, nothing went like they wanted it to.

“You don’t.” Haru continued to make fun of him, and Queresha dealt with Yoo-sung with no casualties.

Now they can’t even force him into a contract. But the worst part was that he was on the verge of losing his streaming channel in Tokyo Dome because of this.

‘Who the fuck spread rumors that I was involved?!’ He was livid as the constellations of Tokyo Dome gave him cold responses. He still had some support from another faction that opposed Takamagahara, but if things stayed like this his channel would be kicked out of Seoul Dome.

And all of this started because of this one fucking incarnation! Since when did incarnations become this important?

‘But I am in too deep to turn back, and senior Dokkaebi Paul was confident in winning this.’ Although Do-gak felt like he would lose if he didn’t move now.

Paul’s profit was not his. He had lost too much to leave things as they were, and he’d lose more if he stayed put.

[What do you think you are doing?] Haru saw Paul appear above Queresha and others. The screen now showed him hovering in the air as his fancy coat fluttered.

[We completed the scenario of course. The real question is, what are ‘you’ doing instead of ending this scenario?] Queresha’s answer made him frown.

‘Heh, perfect.’ Haru smiled. It was fun to see their reactions but there was a deep issue this time, ‘He doesn’t seem too bothered?’

[What I am doing is bringing in the complaints of the Constellations.] And his feeling was spot on.

[What nonsense is he spouting this time?] Hee-won frowned.

[Is it too hard for your little brains? Alright then, let me explain to you in a way your primitive brains can understand.] Paul cleared his throat as his lips twisted into a grin, [The Constellations do not want to see this soap opera you have going on.]
