At the beginning of the Story Succession, six small rooms were created at the end of the stage. The number of rooms was exactly equal to the number of incarnations participating in the Story Succession.
在故事继承的开始，六个小房间被创建在舞台的最后。房间的数量正好等于参与故事继承的化身的数量。
-All incarnations, please move immediately to the Room of Secrets!
所有的化身请立刻移动到秘密之屋！
The system of the Story Succession was simple. The incarnations would communicate with the constellations through the Room of Secrets and hear all their conditions. Later, they would go up on the stage and announce the story they would receive.
故事继承制度很简单。化身将通过密室与星座进行沟通，并倾听它们的所有状况。之后，他们会走上舞台，宣布他们将收到的故事。
There was a nameplate that said ‘Incarnation Kim Dokja.’ I said towards Yoo Jonghyuk, “I’ll see you later.”
有一块铭牌上写着“化身金道佳”。我对柳荣玉说，“回头见。”
Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t respond and disappeared into his room. I entered the room and sat at a table, while the sounds from outside were completely cut off. It felt like the space was distorted.
柳永玉没有回答，消失在他的房间里。我走进房间，坐在一张桌子旁，外面的声音完全被隔绝了。感觉这个空间被扭曲了。
[The Room of Secrets.]
[秘密之屋]
It was one of the most confidential places in the Star Stream. The things that happened here couldn’t be seen by even the dokkaebis of the channel.
这是星流中最保密的地方之一。这里所发生的事情，即使是通道里的多卡比斯也看不见。
[You have become the master of the Room of Secrets for one hour.] [You have been given the administrative rights of the Room of Secrets.] [The maximum time you can use the Room of Secrets is one hour.] [Please make contact with as many constellations as possible in this time.]
你已经成为秘密室的主人一个小时了[您已被授予秘密室的管理权。][你可以使用密室的最长时间是一个小时][请在这段时间内与尽可能多的星座取得联系]
I looked at the door with anticipation. Okay, who would be the first guest? Someone came through the door at this time. It was a floating yellow book with sacred scripture.
我满怀期待地望着门口。好吧，谁会是第一个客人？这时有人从门里进来。那是一本漂浮着的黄色书，上面有圣经。
[Incarnation Kim Dokja. Select the Feast of Resurrection.]
化身金道佳。选择复活节。]
…The first batter was Indian mythology.
第一个击球手是印第安人的神话。

[The constellation ‘Founder of Humanity’ is looking at you.]
[“人类的创始人”星座正在看着你。]
The negotiator from Vedas was the constellation ‘Manu’, who had the modifier of Founder of Humanity.’ I also knew Manu’s story. Of course, it wasn’t because I knew Indian myths but because of Ways of Survival.
《吠陀经》中的谈判者是“马努”星座，具有“人类创始人”的修饰语我也知道Manu的故事。当然，这不是因为我了解印度神话，而是因为《生存之道》。
「 According to the Indian epic, Manu was the survivor of the great flood. In exchange for saving a fish, he was able to escape to the top of the Malaya Mountains in a ship prepared by the fish… 」 …I recalled this story and knew why Manu had come to negotiate. Manu was a constellation who frequently argued over the copyright for the ‘Ark’s Master’ narrative with the constellations from Eden. In other words, this Manu was a specialist in copyright disputes among the constellations of Vedas.
「根据印度史诗，马奴是大洪水的幸存者。」。作为拯救一条鱼的交换条件，他乘坐一艘由鱼准备的船逃到了MalayaMountains顶端...”...我回忆起这个故事，知道Manu为什么来谈判。马努是一个星座，他经常为《方舟的主人》中有关伊甸园星座的叙述版权争论不休。换句话说，这个Manu是吠陀经星座之间版权纠纷的专家。
“…The Master of December 25th didn’t come directly?”
“12月25日的大师没有直接来吗?”
[Do you think he is that free? Answer simply. Will you accept the Feast of Resurrection?]
[你认为他是自由的吗?简单地回答，你会接受复活节吗?]
He was coming out with this attitude? In addition, the person in charge of the story, Mitra didn’t come.
他是这种态度出柜的吗?另外，负责这个故事的人，米特拉也没有来。
[If you have ears, you will know that Vedas is one of the biggest nebula. A myriad of myths are born in Vedas and many nebulae plagiarize our myths. Especially those Eden guys…] “That is a personal story. If I accept the Feast of Resurrection, what can Vedas give me?”
如果你有耳朵，你就会知道吠陀经是最大的星云之一。Vedas诞生了无数的神话，许多星云剽窃了我们的神话。特别是那些伊甸园的家伙......]“这是一个个人故事。如果我接受复活节，吠陀经能给我什么?”
[The protection of the sun god will be with you.] “What is the blessing of the sun god?”
(太阳神的保护将与你同在)“太阳神的祝福是什么?”
[Do I have to explain everything to you? Insignificant mortal…!]
[我必须向你解释一切吗?无足轻重的凡人...!]
“I have one question.”
“我有一个问题。”
[What?]
什么
“Calling me an insignificant mortal, don’t you think it is an antiquated cliche? How long will the constellations who love to tell different stories despite humans with such cliches?”
“说我是个无足轻重的凡人，你不觉得这是陈词滥调吗？那些喜欢讲述不同故事的星座，尽管人类讲述的故事都是陈词滥调，但它们还能坚持多久?”
Manu’s eyes widened and he glared at me.
马努睁大了眼睛，瞪着我。
[How dare you talk such nonsense…!]
[你怎么敢说这种废话...!]
“It is what I think.”
“我就是这么想的。”
[You have used the administrative rights of the Room of Secrets.] [The constellation ‘Founder of Humanity’ has been expelled from the room!]
[您已经使用了保密室的管理权。][“人类的创始人”星座已被驱逐出房间!]
At my command, the Founder of Humanity was surrounded with a pale light and disappeared with a shout. He should’ve done well when he had the chance.
在我的命令下，人类的创始人被一道苍白的光包围着，然后大喊一声消失了。当他有机会的时候，他应该做得很好。
I wouldn’t be suppressed by force, even if the other person was a narrative-grade constellation. It might be different after the Story Succession but now I was the one with the advantage.
我不会被强制压制，即使对方是叙事级的星座。故事继承之后，情况可能会有所不同，但现在我是有优势的那个人。
“Next.” I just finished speaking when someone else opened the door. It was a wanderer with an old crown. Who was this?
“下一个。”我刚说完话，就有人开了门。那是一个戴着旧王冠的流浪者。这是谁？
[Incarnation Kim Dokja, join Olympus.]
[化身金道佳，加入奥林匹斯]
These jerks, did they read an ‘Incarnation Kim Dokja’ manual or something?
这些混蛋，他们有没有读过‘化身金道佳’手册之类的东西？
[The constellation ‘Poked Out His Eyes’ is laughing at you.]
[星座‘戳出他的眼睛’在嘲笑你。]
….Poked Out His Eyes?
挖出了他的眼睛？
[It looks like you know me.]
看来你认识我
“I heard your story when I was a university student.”
“我还是大学生的时候就听说过你的故事。”
[Is that so? How unexpected. A small Oriental country…!] ‘Poked Out His Eyes.’ He was King Oedipus who was taught in liberal arts classes. A person hated by Sophocles.
是这样吗？真是出乎意料。一个小小的东方国家“戳瞎了他的眼睛。”他是俄狄浦斯国王，在文科班上任教。索福克勒斯憎恨的人。
“By the way, I’ve already heard the proposal from the God of Wine and Ecstasy. You are here to tell me to join the Bacchus sect?”
“顺便说一句，我已经听到了酒神和摇头丸神的建议。你是来告诉我加入巴克斯教派的吗?”
[Bacchus? It seems that he has already approached.]
[巴克斯?看来他已经接近了。]
Something felt strange. Persephone attended the banquet for ‘Olympus’ while Dionysus told me not to believe anyone. Both of them didn’t tell me to join Olympus. Yet King Oedipus opened this door from the very beginning.
有些东西感觉很奇怪。珀尔塞福涅出席了奥林匹斯的宴会，而狄俄尼索斯告诉我不要相信任何人。他们都没有要求我加入奥林巴斯。然而，俄狄浦斯王从一开始就打开了这扇门。
[I’m not here about Bacchus. I didn’t even come to exercise the copyright for the resurrection story.]
(我来这里不是为了巴克斯。我甚至不是来行使复活故事的版权的。)
In other words, King Oedipus visited me for a reason that was completely different from the other constellations.
换句话说，俄狄浦斯国王拜访我的原因与其他星座完全不同。
…Maybe this might be the representative of the ‘real’ Olympus?
也许这就是“真正的”奥林巴斯的代表？
[The story that Olympus will present to you is Lightning Carnival.]
[奥林巴斯将向你们展示的故事是闪电嘉年华。]
“Huh?”
“啊?”
I was shocked. Lightning Carnival was the story of Zeus, one of the three leaders. Oedipus saw my expression and smiled strangely.
我很震惊。闪电嘉年华是关于宙斯的故事，他是三位领袖之一。俄狄浦斯看到了我的表情，奇怪地笑了。
[It looks like you also know this story. Yes, you are right. The story we are suggesting is different from the resurrection stories of other nebulae.
看来你也知道这个故事。是的，你是对的。我们建议的故事不同于其他星云的复活故事。
“…Why are you offering me this?”
“你为什么要给我这个?”
[It is because the three goddesses of fate have caught a glimpse of your fate.]
那是因为命运的三位女神瞥见了你的命运
…My fate.
我的命运。
[Sooner or later, you will be eligible to inherit the Lightning Carnival. Of course, you could inherit my story and take the ‘Blind Prophet’ but… you are already rumoured to be a prophet and won’t inherit my story.] “Wait a minute. What do you mean? Why is my fate…”
[你迟早会有资格继承「闪电嘉年华」。当然，你可以继承我的故事，拿走“盲人先知”，但是......有传言说你是先知，不会继承我的故事。]“等一下。什么意思？为什么我的命运...”
[The decision is yours. However, you will definitely need Olympus. Well, until we meet again.]
(决定权在你们手中。不过，你们肯定需要奥林巴斯。好吧，我们下次见面再说。)
Oedipus disappeared from the room. My heart was a bit disturbed. I didn’t know what the ‘fate’ Oedipus mentioned was like but if the three goddesses of fate were involved, something similar to what they saw would happen in the future.
俄狄浦斯从房间里消失了。我的心有点不安。我不知道俄狄浦斯提到的“命运”是什么样的，但是如果这三位命运女神牵涉其中，那么在未来将会发生类似的事情。
By the way, why was I suitable for inheriting the story of a Greek god? Their stories were inevitably…
顺便问一下，为什么我适合继承一个希腊神的故事?他们的故事不可避免地..。
[Hello?]
有人吗
Something was about to flash through my head when a person entered my room. There was a fresh and sweet scent. A beautiful angel’s face appeared in front of me. The female angel resembled a small demon.
当一个人走进我的房间时，我的脑海中闪过一些东西。有一种清新甜美的香味。一个美丽的天使的脸出现在我的面前。女性天使像一个小恶魔。
It seemed to be Eden’s turn.
似乎轮到伊登了。
“…I thought the Master of the Ark would come but you came personally.”
“......我以为方舟之主会来，但你亲自来了。”
[Are you upset that I came?]
我来了你不高兴吗
My heart thumped after I heard the voice.
听到那个声音后，我的心怦怦直跳。
…Uriel was so cute.
乌列太可爱了。
“Nope, it is nice.”
“不，这很好。”
[I wanted to see you! Kim Dokja.]
[我想见你!KimDokja]
Uriel pulled me into a surprise embrace. Our arms touched and I could feel her skin through the thin silk she was wearing. A demon… this was a demon’s touch. It was an open back dress, meaning there was nowhere to place my hands. Uriel rubbed my face like I was a lovely doll and I sighed.
乌列给了我一个惊喜的拥抱。我们的手臂相互碰触，透过她穿着的薄薄的丝绸，我能感觉到她的皮肤。一个恶魔...这是一个恶魔的触摸。那是一件敞开的背心裙子，意味着我的手无处可放。乌列揉了揉我的脸，好像我是个可爱的洋娃娃，我叹了口气。
“I also… wanted to see you.”
“我也......想见你。”
[Yes yes!]
是的，是的
It was a bit embarrassing but I was glad to meet her. Uriel was a constellation who had been with me since the beginning of the scenario.
这有点尴尬，但我很高兴见到她。乌列尔是一个星座，从剧情开始，他就一直和我在一起。
“You are here to offer me the Messiah’s Path?”
“你是来给我指引弥赛亚之路的吗?”
[…Ah, right! I came because of it!]
[...啊，对了!我是因为这个才来的!]
Uriel raised her head with surprise. It was an expression that showed she didn’t remember why she came here. It seemed she was quite pleased to meet me.
乌列惊奇地抬起头。这个表情表明她不记得为什么来这里。她似乎很高兴见到我。
[It must be because you are too handsome.]
一定是因为你太帅了
“Your words are convincing.”
“你的话很有说服力。”
Uriel smiled and said. [Kim Dokja, will you accept Eden’s story?] “That… I need to think a bit.”
乌列笑着说:(金独子，你愿意接受伊登的故事吗?)“那......我需要想一想。”
[Why? Our story is the best! It isn’t comparable to other places!]
[为什么?我们的故事是最好的!它不能与其他地方相比!]
This was certainly true. The Messiah’s Path was the best story in the resurrection system. There was one problem.
这当然是真的，弥赛亚之路是复活系统中最好的故事，但有一个问题。
“I will lose something precious if I accept that story.”
“如果我接受这个故事，我将失去一些珍贵的东西。”
[Eh? Ah. T-That’s right. If you choose our story, you’ll become an eunuch… That can’t be.]
[嗯?啊。是的。如果你选择我们的故事，你会成为一个太监......那不可能。]
I expected to be persuaded but unexpectedly, Uriel shook with agitation. Was it such a big deal for Uriel that I would become en eunuch? Why?
我本以为会被说服，但出乎意料的是，乌列激动得直发抖。对乌列来说，我成为太监是件大事吗？为什么？
[W-What to do? If I don’t bring Kim Dokja to Metatron, he won’t let me use the Internet for a month… but if he accepts, Kim Dokja will become an eunuch… when that happens… oh, wait a minute. Perhaps if his position changes…?]
怎么办？如果我不把KimDokja带到Metatron，他一个月都不会让我使用互联网......但如果他接受了，KimDokja就会变成一个太监......当那发生的时候......哦，等一下。也许如果他的立场改变......?]
…What position?
什么职位？
[O-Okay! Kim Dokja! Don’t worry too much about this problem. One way or another…!]
[O-Okay!KimDokja!不要太担心这个问题。无论如何...!]
Uriel seemed to be filled with great determination on her own. I firmly shook my head. “I don’t want it.”
乌列似乎对自己充满了巨大的决心。我坚定地摇了摇头。“我不想要它。”
[Yes! It is okay if you are an eunuch…!]
[是的!如果你是太监也没关系...!]
“Next.”
“下一个。”

After that, many constellations visited me. There were places like Tamna and Guiok, as well as independent constellations.
在那之后，许多星座来拜访我，有像塔姆纳和Guiok这样的地方，也有独立的星座。
In particular, the upper grade constellations of the Korean Peninsula gave me a lot of encouragement and didn’t want me to establish a relationship with a particular nebula.
尤其是朝鲜半岛的高级星座给了我很多鼓励，并且不希望我和某个特定的星云建立关系。
[You are the hope of our world.]
你是我们世界的希望
[Please don’t bend your will.]
请不要屈服
Their hearts were understanding. The upper grade constellations who had been suffering from the narrative-grade constellations were envious of me.
他们的心是善解人意的，那些饱受叙事等级星座之苦的高年级星座羡慕我。
The negotiation time soon ended. The incarnations went up to the stage one by one. It was time to review the proposed stories and determine which ones they would inherit.
谈判时间很快就结束了。这些化身一个接一个地上了舞台。现在是审查提议的故事和确定他们将继承哪些故事的时候了。
-Now, let’s announce the result of the Story Succession! First, Selena Kim from the United States!
-现在，让我们宣布故事继承的结果!首先，来自美国的金塞莱娜！
The dokkaebi on the stage had the atmosphere of a home shopping host. It was natural. Through this banquet, the bureau would make a huge amount of coins.
舞台上的dokkaebi有一种家庭购物主人的气氛。这很自然。通过这次宴会，该局将制造大量的硬币。
-Selena Kim has decided to inherit the Indomitable Aegis’ story given by the ‘Last Conscience’ constellation!
年的今天，金赛琳娜决定继承“最后的良心”星座赋予她的不屈不挠的宙斯盾故事！
Selena Kim has chosen Olympus… ‘Indomitable Aegis’ was a story appropriate for her as the King’s Guardian.
金赛琳娜选择了奥林匹斯......“不屈不挠的宙斯”是一个适合她作为国王守护者的故事。
My brain became more complicated as time passed. No matter what I chose, someone would become an enemy. If I chose no one, there would be even more enemies.
随着时间的推移，我的大脑变得越来越复杂。不管我选择什么，总会有人成为我的敌人。如果我不选择任何一个人，那么敌人就会更多。
‘Think carefully. The question is who exactly I should turn into an enemy.’
“仔细想想，问题是我到底应该把谁变成敌人。”
Persephone said so. I faintly understood her meaning. Maybe Persephone’s words were meant for all the resurrection stories.
珀尔塞福涅是这么说的。我模糊地理解了她的意思。也许珀尔塞福涅的话意味着所有的复活故事。
I didn’t have only one life and there were those who would want me to succeed their story in the next resurrection.
我不只有一次生命，还有一些人希望我在他们的下一次复活中继承他们的故事。
There was still a problem. Eden and Vedas definitely wouldn’t yield the ‘first resurrection’ and even if I inherited their story, there would surely be subordinate constraints on them.
还有一个问题。伊甸园和吠陀绝对不会屈服于第一次复活，即使我继承了他们的故事，他们也肯定会受到从属的约束。
It was unavoidable. From the very beginning, the relationship between incarnation and constellation was unfair. Wait a minute, ‘fairness’…?
这是不可避免的。从一开始，化身和星座之间的关系就是不公平的。等一下，“公平”......？
It was finally Yoo Jonghyuk’s turn to get on stage.
终于轮到柳荣玉上台了。
-The next person is the Supreme King of Seoul…
下一位是首尔最高国王。
The audience gulped as Yoo Jonghyuk moved. In particular the eyes of the narrative-grade constellations were strange. They were those who wanted to gain Yoo Jonghyuk. On the other hand, there were those who showed fear…
