[<Star Stream> is looking at its creator.]
[星流正在看着它的创造者]
Her eyelids soaked in fatigue slowly closed. As she drifted into the languid sea of unconsciousness, Han Su-Yeong listened to the Dokkaebi King's voice.
她的眼皮因疲劳而慢慢闭上。韩素英听着杜卡比王的声音，慢慢地走进昏迷的海洋。
"Please, rest now and sleep, my noble god."
“请现在休息，睡觉吧，我高贵的上帝。”
And on the next day, the 'Ways of Survival's' final chapter was completed.
第二天，《生存之道》的最后一章完成了。
*
⸢….Three ways to survive. I've forgotten a few. But one thing's for certain. That is….⸥
...三种生存方式我忘了一些但有一件事是肯定的那就是..
After she finished typing the very last sentence, Han Su-Yeong kept her eyes closed for a very long time. She knew a day like this would eventually come. But now that it was finally here, it didn't feel real to her at all.
打完最后一句话后，韩素英闭着眼睛很长时间。她知道这样的一天终将到来。但是现在它终于来了，对她来说感觉一点也不真实。
Her lengthy serialisation had finally come to an end.
她漫长的连载终于结束了。
When she slowly looked behind, the Dokkaebi King was standing there just as she suspected. With a pair of deeply-moved eyes, it was staring at the computer monitor.
当她慢慢向后看时，多卡比王正如她所料站在那里。它用一双深情的眼睛盯着电脑显示器。
"Hey, you," said Han Su-Yeong.
“嘿，你，”韩素英说。
"Yes, my god."
“是的，我的上帝。”
"Can't you, like, not do the paid service?"
“你就不能不提供付费服务吗?”
"Dear god-nim, even if I don't, the story will commence regardless."
“亲爱的尼姆上帝，即使我不这么做，故事也会开始的。”
Han Su-Yeong could only smile bitterly at the Dokkaebi King speaking like a stubborn devotee.
韩素妍只能苦笑着看着杜卡比王像一个固执的奉献者一样说话。
The daylight was breaking outside the windows. The sun would rise, and when it was time to set again, the apocalypse would come to visit this world.
阳光从窗户外面透进来。太阳会升起，当再次落下的时候，世界末日就会降临到这个世界。
⸢And then, Kim Dok-Ja's story will begin.⸥
然后，金道子的故事就开始了
"…..And I'm destined to disappear, right?"
“......我注定要消失，对吗?”
Tsu-chut, chuchuchut….
楚楚，楚楚..。
Her Fable, what little remained of it, wiggled slightly. There were some stories that might not seem all that excellent or special, but still required an untold sacrifice to complete. To her, the 'Ways of Survival' was one such novel.
她的寓言，仅存的一部分，轻微地摇摆着。有些故事可能看起来并不那么精彩或特别，但仍然需要不计其数的牺牲才能完成。对她来说，《生存之道》就是这样一部小说。
[Your existential Fable is in a precarious state.]
[你的存在主义寓言正处于岌岌可危的状态。]
If the future about to unfold was correct, her ego would soon disappear into the main body's vast, boundless subconsciousness. And only after the main body learns the [Avatar] skill would she be reborn with a tiny bit of the old memories. And then, get to live the 1863rd regression turn.
如果将要展开的未来是正确的，她的自我将很快消失在主体广阔无边的潜意识中。只有当她的主体学会了阿凡达的技能之后，她才会带着一点旧的记忆重生。然后，开始第1863次回归。
⸢If that's indeed the case, what did my life exist for?⸥
如果真是这样的话，我的生命为何而存在
Han Su-Yeong dazedly approached the window. The light grew brighter beyond the pale-naked skies, and the stars were receding away.
韩素英茫然地走近窗前，苍白裸露的天空之外，光线更加明亮，星星也渐渐远去。
[[Everything has already been written, and at the same time, still being written.]]
[所有的东西都已经写好了，同时，还在写。]
The 'Outer God' who sent her to the 1863rd turn said that to her. A universe of repeating cycle. And in this universe, the result birthed the cause, and the cause would eventually become the result.
送她到1863年转世的“外神”对她说了这句话。重复循环的宇宙。在这个宇宙中，结果产生了原因，而原因最终会成为结果。
In order to create a complete story, the result rejected the cause, while the cause devoured the result in order to exist. The moment she understood that vast, mysterious rule, Han Su-Yeong began thinking that this world resembled a chessboard. A chessboard that pursued the highest degree of completion, ruled by a certain gigantic 'will' with an unknown origin and form.
为了创造一个完整的故事，结果拒绝了原因，而原因为了存在而吞噬了结果。当韩素妍明白了这个浩瀚而神秘的规则时，她开始觉得这个世界就像一个棋盘。一种棋盘，追求最高程度的完成，被某种来历不明的巨大“意志”所统治。
Even if she was the creator of the apocalyptic scenario, wasn't she merely another chess piece, a 'knight', in this chessboard of the universe?
即使她是末日场景的创造者，在这个宇宙的棋盘上，她不仅仅是另一个棋子，一个骑士吗？
While sensing the waves of sleepiness crashing in, she slowly got up from her seat.
感觉到睡意的波涛汹涌而来，她慢慢地从座位上站起来。
[Your mental power has reached its limit!]
[你的精神力量已经达到极限!]
Han Su-Yeong fought against the horrifying level of tiredness, fumbled around to put on some clothes, and left her room. The hour was still very early, but the people waking up early should be getting ready to go to work round about now. The Dokkaebi King was following after her.
韩素妍克服了极度的疲劳，摸索着穿上衣服，离开了房间。时间还很早，但是人们现在应该已经准备好去上班了。多卡比国王跟在她后面。
She addressed the King while not even bothering to look back. "You worked hard trying to edit the novel until now."
她向国王讲话，甚至懒得回头看。“到现在为止，你一直在努力编辑这部小说。”
"If you go outside, you'll die."
“如果你出去，你会死的。”
She already knew that. Because, the sun was rising.
她已经知道了，因为太阳正在升起。
Han Su-Yeong looked up at the break of dawn and spoke. "My role's already finished, anyway. You'll take care of the rest from now on, right? It'll be the end when you hand over the text file to him on the designated time. I wrote that revised version too, the one we talked about, just in case. But… that's incomplete, so you decide what to do later."
天亮了，韩素英抬起头来，说道。“不管怎样，我的角色已经结束了。剩下的就交给你了，好吗？当你在指定时间把文本文件交给他的时候，一切就结束了。为了以防万一，我还写了我们谈过的那个修改版本。但是......这是不完整的，所以你决定以后要做什么。”
"But…."
“但是......”
"It's been over ten years." Han Su-Yeong glared at the Dokkaebi King several hand-spans taller than her. "Can't I do what I want at least once?"
“已经十多年了。”韩素英怒视着比她高几个手掌跨度的Dokkaebi王。“我就不能至少做一次自己想做的事吗?”
The reason why she came to this world - it was to meet Kim Dok-Ja she ran into back in the 1863rd turn one more time.
她来到这个世界的原因——就是为了见到金道子，她在1863年的第三次转身时又一次回到了她的身边。
She leisurely warmed her muscles, and started jogging.
她悠闲地暖了暖肌肉，开始慢跑。
⸢Han Su-Yeong imagined Kim Dok-Ja, on his way to work at Mino Soft.⸥
韩素英想象着金德子在去米诺软件公司工作的路上
She heard news from the Dokkaebi King every now and then, and there were also the comments Kim Dok-Ja himself had written. And that's how she knew a lot about him.
她时不时地从多卡比王那里听到消息，还有金多加自己写的评论。这就是为什么她知道他很多事情。
Author-nim! I'll be living by myself starting this year!I'm now living near this place. And it's really weird reading about it in a novel.Have you heard about Mino Soft? It'd be nice if your novel gets a game version, too. Maybe I should suggest it to the…She knew when he became independent from his tragedy, and from where he started dealing with yet another tragedy. And also, in what shape or form this new tragedy appeared as.
作者尼姆！从今年开始，我将独自生活！我现在住在这附近。在小说里读到这些真的很奇怪。你听说过米诺软件公司吗？如果你的小说也有一个游戏版本就好了。也许我应该建议......她知道他什么时候从他的悲剧中独立出来，什么时候又开始处理另一个悲剧。同时，这个新的悲剧以什么样的形式出现。
[The main body's ego is trying to wake up from her dream!]
[主体的自我正试图从她的梦中醒来!]
[Warning! Your self-regulated activity period has ended!]
[警告!你的自我调节活动期已经结束!]
[Further exercising of control will cause your ego to….]
[进一步的控制会导致你的自我意识...]
Han Su-Yeong ignored the messages and continued to run. She ran, and ran again until she could barely breathe. She ran hard, the words Kim Dok-Ja wrote the only things occupying her thoughts.
韩素英不理会这些留言，继续跑。她不停地跑啊跑，直到几乎无法呼吸。她拼命奔跑，金道子写下的字句占据了她的思绪。
Author-nim. I don't remember how many times I've said this before, but…Those words… she'd forget them all.
尼姆作者。我不记得我以前说过多少次了，但是......那些话......她会全部忘记的。
[Your actions are in serious violation of the Probability.]
[你的行为严重违反了概率。]
She'd forget the memories of the 1863rd turn.
她会忘记1863年的回忆。
And she'd also forget the fact that she wrote a certain novel, as well.
她也会忘记她写过一部小说的事实。
[Your Fable is disappearing.]
[你的寓言正在消失。]
She'd forget that a story existed just for its sole reader.
她会忘记一个故事的存在只是为了它唯一的读者。
However, even then, even if she forgot everything….
然而，即使那时，即使她忘记了一切..。
⸢Han Su-Yeong's running slowly came to a halt.⸥
韩素英慢慢地停了下来
There he was. A man who existed only as texts for a long, long time ever since that day she last saw him in the hospital's emergency ward.
他来了。自从那天她最后一次在医院的急诊病房看到他以来，这个男人只是以短信的形式存在了很长很长的时间。
⸢In the distance, Kim Dok-Ja was walking forward.⸥
远处，金道子向前走着
That was the exact same face of Kim Dok-Ja she remembered.
这就是她记忆中金道子的那张脸。
The man who came to her 1863rd regression turn. The man who she wanted to see again. The detestable man with his own brand of ass-kissing. The man who lied really easily. The man who she enjoyed being around, since they could lie about something together and snicker among themselves.
来到她第1863次回归的那个男人。她想再见到的那个男人。那个可恶的男人有他自己的拍马屁的招牌。那个很容易撒谎的人。那个她喜欢和他在一起的男人，因为他们可以一起说谎，相互窃笑。
"—"
「ーー」
The man, who didn't remember her.
那个不记得她的男人。
"—!!"
“ー! ! ”
Her voice didn't want to come out. She couldn't tell whether it was because she was choking up, or the control of her body was slipping away from her.
她的声音不想出来。她不知道是因为她哽咽了，还是身体的控制力正在消失。
Han Su-Yeong staggered and walked closer to Kim Dok-Ja. Several passersby brushing past her looked back in suspicion.
韩素妍摇摇晃晃地走近金道子，几个路人从她身边擦肩而过，怀疑地回头看她。
Kim Dok-Ja was now walking down the subway's steps.
金道子正走在地铁的台阶上。
Kim Dok-Ja, with earphones stuck in his ears and reading something on his phone while walking downstairs.
金道子(kimdok-ja)，耳机塞在耳朵里，一边走下楼梯一边看手机上的东西。
She knew what he was currently reading.
她知道他现在在读什么。
"—!!"
“ー! ! ”
She barely managed to shout, but her voice still didn't come out. So, she desperately chased after him.
她几乎没有喊出声来，但是她的声音仍然没有出来，所以她拼命地追赶他。
Because of the story you wrote, author-nim, I was able to survive until now.Han Su-Yeong was also able to survive while reading the sole reader's words.
因为你写的那个故事，尼姆作者，我才能活到现在。韩素英也能够生存下来，而阅读唯一的读者的话。
She managed to write the next part of Yu Jung-Hyeok's life through them.
她设法通过他们写出了余正赫生活的下一部分。
She was able to endure her boring and stuffy teen years, the days she never wanted to go back to, thanks to those words.
多亏了这些话，她能够忍受无聊乏味的青少年时期，那些她再也不想回到的日子。
This train is bound for…She spotted Kim Dok-Ja standing on the platform, waiting for the next train to arrive. A person hiding within the small world crafted out of letters to protect himself was standing right there.
这列火车开往......她看到金道子站在月台上，等待下一列火车的到来。一个隐藏在用字母构成的小世界里保护自己的人就站在那里。
Kim Dok-Ja, who didn't know anything about the apocalypse about to happen.
KimDok-Ja，他对世界末日的到来一无所知。
Kim Dok-Ja, who'd get to live on the expansive world of the 'Ways of Survival'.
金度子，他将生活在广阔的“生存之道”的世界里。
Kim Dok-Ja, who'd get to meet the protagonist he so longed to become.
金度子，谁将得到满足的主角，他如此渴望成为。
Kim Dok-Ja, who'd become the 'Demon King of Salvation'.
金道子，后来成为“救世魔王”。
Kim Dok-Ja, who'd sacrifice himself multiple times for the sake of his companions, and as a result, came to the 1863rd turn and met her.
为了他的同伴，金度子牺牲了很多次，结果，他来到了1863年，遇到了金度子。
Kim Dok-Ja, who was destined to become the 'Most Ancient Dream', the price he paid for loving a certain story too much.
金度子注定要成为“最古老的梦”，这是他为过分热爱某个故事而付出的代价。
[Your mental state is crumbling!]
你的精神状态崩溃了
[The main body's ego is regaining its control.]
[主体的自我正在重新获得控制。]
[Your Fable is being extinguished.]
[你的寓言已经不复存在了]
Her legs grew heavy, and her arms didn't want to move anymore. Her body was gradually becoming not hers.
她的双腿越来越沉重，双臂再也不想动了，她的身体渐渐变得不属于她了。
Even then, Han Su-Yeong wanted to tell him.
那时候韩素英就想告诉他。
⸢To tell him that he was definitely not at fault for this story being born. And to tell him that the things he was about to experience were not his sins.⸥
告诉他这个故事的诞生绝对不是他的错。并且告诉他，他将要经历的事情不是他的罪过。
Because, her past 13 years existed solely to say those words to him.
因为，她过去13年的存在只是为了对他说那些话。
⸢To say that, though you have grown up while reading this story, there's no need for you to become it.⸥
这么说吧，虽然你是在阅读这个故事的过程中长大的，但你没有必要成为这样的人
She barely managed to reach out, the tips of her hand touching Kim Dok-Ja's shoulder.
她勉强伸出手，她的手尖触摸着金道子的肩膀。
[Your ego will convert into the 'subconsciousness'.]
[你的自我会转化为潜意识。]
Kim Dok-Ja felt that sensation of touch on his shoulder and looked behind him.
金道子感觉到肩膀上有触感，向后看去。
However, the incoming waves of commuters heading to work swept him up, and he got pushed into the subway, instead.
然而，迎面而来的上班族浪潮把他卷了进去，结果他被推进了地铁。
And after the crowd had left, only Han Su-Yeong and her dazed expression remained on the empty subway platform.
人群散去之后，空荡荡的地铁站台上只剩下韩素妍和她茫然的表情。
"…..What the hell? Why the hell am I standing here "
“怎么回事?我为什么要站在这里?”
Han Su-Yeong tilted her head, before scratching her hair hard while wondering out loud, "Did my sleepwalking flare up again "
韩素英歪着头，一边抓头发，一边大声问道:“我的梦游症又犯了吗?”
She confirmed the time with her smartphone and exploded in irritation. "Son of a… And I haven't even finished writing today's chapter, too!"
她用自己的智能手机确认了时间，然后愤怒地爆发了。“狗娘养的。.而且我今天的那一章还没写完呢!”
….

[Fable, 'Predictive Plagiarism', has plagiarised your lost memories!]
[寓言，‘预测剽窃’剽窃了你失去的记忆!]

Tsu-chuchuchuchu….
楚楚楚..。
"Han Su-Yeong?"
“韩素英?”
Tsu-chuchu….
楚楚。
"Han Su-Yeong!!"
“韩素英!”
She heard someone call out to her among all the terrible ringing in her ears.
她听到有人在她耳边可怕的嗡嗡声中向她喊叫。
"Han Su-Yeong!"
“韩素英!”
And right next instance, a powerful impact landing on the back of her head helped her to regain her wits. The pain emanating from the back of the head was hellish. She already knew which fool would hit her so mercilessly like this.
紧接着，一个强有力的冲击落在她的后脑勺上，帮助她恢复了理智。从后脑勺发出的疼痛简直就是地狱。她已经知道哪个傻瓜会这样无情地打她。
"Jung-Hyeok-ssi!! What are you doing, hitting her so hard like that?! You could've killed her right as she's waking up!"
“Jung-Hyeok-ssi!!!你在干什么，这么用力地打她?!她醒来的时候你差点就把她打死了!”
Han Su-Yeong slowly raised her head and discovered Yi Seol-Hwa supporting her, as well as Yu Jung-Hyeok and his massive scowl. Also, the other members of <Kim Dok-Ja Company>, too. Jeong Hui-Won, Yi Hyeon-Seong, Shin Yu-Seung, Yi Ji-Hye… Companions, currently covered in dust from head to toe.
韩素英慢慢地抬起头，发现李世华在支持她，还有余正赫和他的大脸。还有金道子公司的其他成员。郑惠元，李贤成，申育成，李智慧...同伴，目前覆盖从头到脚的灰尘。
