Han Sooyoung heard my story and muttered in a dumbfounded manner. “…Did you really become a constellation?”
韩秀英听了我的故事，目瞪口呆地喃喃自语道:“......你真的变成了一个星座?”
A person who was an incarnation a few days ago suddenly appeared as a constellation. Certainly, it was strange. Han Sooyoung hadn’t read anything about an incarnation being reborn as a constellation.
一个前几天还是化身的人突然出现了，变成了一个星座。当然，这很奇怪。韩素英没有读到任何关于化身为星座重生的消息。
“Yes. I am a constellation.”
“是的，我是一个星座。”
“Really, seriously?”
“真的，真的吗?”
“That’s right.”
“没错。”
Han Sooyoung’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “…Is it that easy?”
韩素英的眼睛里充满了怀疑，“......就这么简单吗?”
I wanted to say it wasn’t easy but Han Sooyoung didn’t listen.
我想说这并不容易，但韩素英不听。
“Shit, will you now be watching us outside the scenario and sponsoring us?”
“妈的，你现在会在场外看着我们，赞助我们吗?”
“Nothing like that. I became a constellation in the course of the scenario so I have to keep participating in the scenario.”
“不是那样的。在这个过程中，我变成了一个星座，所以我必须继续参与这个过程。”
“What’s the difference? I can’t tell at all.”
“有什么区别吗?我一点也看不出来。”
In fact, I didn’t feel it was real either. Borrowing stories, trading with other constellations and nebulae, changing the attitude of the constellations towards me…
事实上，我也不觉得这是真的。借用故事，与其他星座和星云交易，改变星座对我的态度..。
[Some constellations are jealous of your growth.]
[有些星座嫉妒你的成长。]
[Some constellations oppose you having a modifier.]
[有些星座反对你使用修饰语]
[Some constellations show hostility towards you.]
[有些星座对你充满敌意。]
In any case, the constellations also felt the ugliness of jealousy. Why were they so harsh towards a growing bud? Still, there was something I could do now.
无论如何，星座也感受到了嫉妒的丑陋。为什么它们对生长中的花蕾如此苛刻？尽管如此，我现在还是可以做些什么。
[You stare at the other constellations.]
你凝视着其他的星座
[Some constellations are staring at you with amazement!]
(一些星座惊奇地盯着你!)
[Some constellations have spat out the coke they are drinking with surprise!] [200 coins have been consumed to send an indirect message.] …As expected, indirect messages cost coins. It was fun but I had to use it in moderation.
(一些星座惊奇地吐出他们正在喝的可乐!)[已经消耗了200枚硬币来传递一个间接的信息]不出所料，间接信息要花钱。它很有趣，但我必须适度使用它。
Han Sooyoung was staring at me with an open mouth. “W-Was it you who just sent the message? The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name?”
韩素英张着嘴盯着我。“刚才是你发的短信吗？还没有名字的星座?”
That was what it looked like to Han Sooyoung.
韩素英看起来就是这个样子。
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“Is it because you haven’t signed a sponsor contract until now?”
“是不是因为你到现在还没签过担保人合同?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“…Then is it already too late for me?”
“......那么现在对我来说是不是已经太晚了?”
“You could say that.”
“可以这么说。”
Han Sooyoung frowned and looked up at the air.
韩素英皱起眉头，抬头望着天空。
[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ hesitantly reads her face.]
[星座‘深不可测的黑色火龙’迟疑地看着她的脸]
Han Sooyoung sighed and glanced at me. “Shit… I’m envious. By the way, why don’t you have a modifier?”
韩秀英叹了口气，看了我一眼。“妈的......我真羡慕你。顺便说一句，你为什么没有修饰语呢?”
“That…”
“那个......”
Why didn’t I have a modifier? The correct answer was that I didn’t know.
为什么我没有修饰语?正确的答案是我不知道。
[The Star Stream is looking for a modifier for your constellation.]
[星流正在为你的星座寻找修饰符]
Perhaps it was because I haven’t accumulated enough stories. A constellation without a modifier was similar to gaining a citizenship without having a home.
也许是因为我没有积累足够的故事。没有修饰符的星座类似于没有家就获得了公民身份。
Han Sooyoung muttered, “You are a vagabond.”
韩秀英咕哝道:“你这个流浪汉。”
“…The fifth story isn’t over yet. Maybe I will have a modifier by the time this story is finalized.”
“......第五个故事还没有结束。也许到这个故事结束的时候，我会有一个修改。”
[The fifth story ‘Lone Messiah’ is currently in progress.]
第五个故事“孤独的弥赛亚”正在进行中
The fifth story was a story that greatly affected the ‘status’ of the constellation. The position of my constellation would depend on how this story was finalized.
第五个故事极大地影响了星座的“地位”。我所处的位置将取决于这个故事是如何定稿的。
…Maybe.
也许吧。
Then Han Sooyoung booed. “Boo…Kim Dokja, why you suddenly look cool? Then can you beat Yoo Jonghyuk?”
韩秀英嘘了一声:“哎......金道佳，你怎么突然变酷了?那你能打败柳忠玉吗?”
Yoo Jonghyuk. I clenched my fist and opened it. Then there was a message I had never seen before..
柳钟玉。我握紧拳头，打开它。然后是一条我从未见过的信息。。
[Beware of the ‘probability storm’ effect.]
[注意“可能性风暴”效应。]
[The Star Stream is currently evaluating your level.]
[星流正在评估你的水平。]
There was a prickly feeling at the tips of my fingers. This was a problem for constellations. Still, I would be fine as long as the ‘evaluation’ was in progress. The Star Stream didn’t know the right level of constraints for me yet.
我的手指尖有一种刺痛的感觉。这对星座来说是个问题。不过，只要‘评估’还在进行中，我就没问题。星流还不知道对我来说正确的限制级别。
“I might be able to win against him now.”
“我现在也许能打败他。”
“…Really?”
“...真的吗?”
The point was the word ‘now.’ The protagonist was the protagonist for a reason. I could only match his growth by becoming a constellation. The perks that Yoo Jonghyuk received were huge.
重点是“现在”这个词主角之所以成为主角是有原因的。我只能成为一个星座来匹配他的成长。柳永玉得到的好处是巨大的。
I ordered her, “Quickly return what I gave you.”
我命令她:“快把我给你的东西还给我。”
“Che, I understand.”
“切，我明白。”
[The incarnation ‘Han Sooyoung’ has fulfilled the contract.]
[化身韩秀英已经履行了合同。]
I received all the coins and items I had left with Han Sooyoung. Han Sooyoung sighed. “…It’s too bad. I felt rich for a while.”
我收到了所有留给韩秀英的硬币和物品。韩秀英叹了口气。“......太糟糕了。有一段时间我觉得自己很富有。”
“I gave you 20,000 coins for the trouble.”
“我给了你20,000个硬币作为补偿。”
“I handed over 600,000 coins but only got 20,000 in return.”
“我交了60万枚硬币，但只得到了2万枚。”
“Then you can give back the 20,000 coins.”
“然后你就可以把两万枚硬币还回去了。”
Han Sooyoung scoffed and turned her back to me. I received my items and coins from Han Sooyoung.
韩素英笑了笑，转身背对着我，我从韩素英那里收到了我的东西和硬币。
[Possessed Coins: 684,353 C]
[拥有的硬币:684,353c]
In the meantime, I had collected a lot of money. It wasn’t strange since I made a steady income and saved money. Now that I was a constellation, I no longer hesitated in using coins. The coins would exert their real strength from now on.
与此同时，我已经筹集了很多钱。这并不奇怪，因为我有稳定的收入和存钱。现在我是一个星座，我不再犹豫使用硬币。从现在开始，硬币将发挥它们真正的力量。
Then little by little… ah, wait. I forgot an important thing. “Han Sooyoung, when will you release that? It is sexual harassment.”
然后一点一点地...啊，等等。我忘了一件重要的事。“韩素英，你什么时候发行？现在是性骚扰。”
“Eh? Ah, I forgot.”
“啊?啊，我忘了。”
Han Sooyoung smiled and I approached Lee Hyunsung who was sitting on the floor holding his head in his hands. Han Sooyoung’s clones were still dancing naked around Lee Hyunsung.
韩秀英笑了，我走近坐在地板上的李贤成，他用手托着头。韩秀英的克隆人还在李贤星周围裸体跳舞。
[The character ‘Lee Hyunsung’ is shaking with fear.]
[李贤星这个角色因为害怕而颤抖。]
…
「 The Steel Sword is weak to women. 」
“钢剑不适合女性”
There was such a sentence in Ways of Survival but I hadn’t thought it was so severe. Besides that…
在《生存之道》中有这样一句话，但我没有想到它会这么严重。除此之外..。
“…It isn’t real.”
“...这不是真的。”
Han Sooyoung’s clones looked naked but they didn’t have the important parts. In other words, Lee Hyunsung had become like this because he saw mannequins.
韩素英的克隆体看起来光秃秃的，但是没有重要的部分。换句话说，李贤星之所以变成这样，是因为他看到了人体模型。
Han Sooyoung noticed the meaning of my words and laughed mischievously. “Hrmm…what does that mean? You are sorry because you didn’t get to see them?”
韩淑英听出了我的话，调皮地笑了起来。“嗯......那是什么意思？因为你没有见到他们，所以你感到抱歉?”
“I told you. I don’t like a poor body like yours.
“我告诉过你，我不喜欢你这样可怜的身体。
“…You haven’t even seen it.”
“......你还没看过呢。”
“Do i need to see it?”
“我需要看吗?”
I approached Lee Hyunsung and patted him on the back. “Hyunsung-ssi, are you okay?”
我走近李贤星，拍了拍他的后背:“贤星星，你没事吧?”
“D-Dokja-ssi.”
“ D-Dokja-ssi。”
He looked stupid but he wasn’t crazy. Lee Hyunsung looked at me like he had seen a ghost. “Why is Dokja-ssi…you are… dead?”
他看起来很傻，但他并没有疯。李贤星看着我，就像看见了鬼一样。“为什么Dokja-ssi...你...死了?”
I think he got a real trauma. I looked at Han Sooyoung with annoyance. It was a comic-like situation but it would’ve been a serious blow for the Steel Sword. If I didn’t something wrong in this round, Lee Hyunsung might step on an unknown route…
我觉得他受了重伤。我不耐烦地看着韩素英。这是一个滑稽的情况，但这将是一个严重的打击钢剑。如果我在这一轮没有出错的话，李贤星可能会走上一条未知的路线..。
For the moment, I had to rely on time for him to recover. Then another voice was heard from the side. “Excuse me…”
就目前而言，我不得不依靠时间让他恢复。然后从旁边传来了另一个声音。“对不起......”
“…?”
“ ... ? ”
“Can I go?”
“我能去吗?”
The last member of Pink Kids entered my eyes. She had a pretty face and slender body. She had fine eyebrows and tender cheeks. Who would believe this person was an uncle in his 40s?
最后一个粉红孩子进入了我的眼睛。她有一张漂亮的脸蛋和苗条的身材。她的眉毛很好看，面颊很娇嫩。谁会相信这个人是他40多岁的叔叔呢？
“What is your name?” I asked and a pretty voice answered.
“你叫什么名字?”我问，一个漂亮的声音回答。
“S-Seo Inna.”
“ S-Seo Inna。”
“That’s not his real name.”
“那不是他的真名。”
Seo Inna hesitated before speaking his true name. “…I am Kim Yongpal.”
徐因娜在说出自己的真名前犹豫了一下。“......我是金永帕。”
Pink Kids, Kim Yongpal. I found the right person.
粉红小孩，金永宝，我找对人了。
Han Sooyoung clicked her tongue. “…Why are you keeping him alive. Aren’t the Pink Kids scum?”
韩素英咕噜了一声，“......你为什么要留他活口，粉红小子不是人渣吗?”
“Not yet. They ‘will become’ bad guys. If you read it correctly, you should know that the Pink Kids was originally a trio.”
“还没有。他们会变成坏人。如果你读得没错的话，你应该知道“粉红孩子”最初是一个三人组。”
“But there are four… eh?”
“但是有四个......嗯?”
I explained, “This uncle died before they became really active.”
我解释说:“这位叔叔在他们真正活跃起来之前就去世了。”
“…Is that why I couldn’t remember him?”
“这就是我记不起他的原因吗?”
“Kim Yongpal is basically a pure person. Thus, he was the first to die in Pink Kids.”
“金永八基本上是一个纯洁的人。因此，他是《粉红孩子》中第一个死去的人。”
Kim Yongpal interrupted. “Excuse me, what are you talking about…?”
金永帕打断了他，“对不起，你在说什么......?”
“Shut up.”
“闭嘴。”
Han Sooyoung frowned at him. “This is a pure person?”
韩素英皱着眉头对他说:“这是一个纯洁的人吗?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
I also couldn’t believe it but it was a setting in Ways of Survival.
我也不敢相信这是《生存之道》中的一个场景。
[A constellations who likes to change sex is nodding.] [A constellation who likes to change sex claims there are no bad people among those who like to change sex.]
[喜欢变性的星座点头][一个喜欢改变性别的星座声称在那些喜欢改变性别的人中没有坏人。]
In fact, Kim Yongpal survived to this day without killing anyone, even in the first scenario.
事实上，即使在第一种情况下，金永八也没有杀死任何人而活到今天。
I could come up with the ‘insect killing’ method in the first scenario because there was a precedent where Kim Yongpal stepped on an ant by mistake and survived. Of course, Kim Yongpal didn’t know why he had survived.
我可以在第一种情况下想出“杀虫”的方法，因为有一个先例，金永帕(KimYongpal)误踩了一只蚂蚁而活了下来。当然，金永八不知道自己为什么能活下来。
He was a person who ‘fortunately’ survived. This was Kim Yongpal of Pink Kids. No, I should call it Pink Kid now that his companions were dead.
他是一个幸存下来的人。这是“粉红孩子”的金永朋。不，我应该叫它粉红小子，因为他的同伴都死了。
Han Sooyoung muttered like she didn’t want to admit it. “Damn…so what? In any case, you saved him because there is a use for him?”
韩淑英咕哝着，好像不想承认似的。“该死......那又怎么样？无论如何，你救了他是因为他还有利用价值?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“Then now what?”
“那现在怎么办?”
“We have to break the scenario again.”
“我们必须再次打破这种局面。”
“Do you know that this scenario is?”
“你知道这种情况吗?”
Of course I knew. I knew it very well.
我当然知道，我知道得很清楚。
“It is the last scenario before the liberation of Seoul Dome.”
“这是解放首尔圆顶体育场(SeoulDome)之前的最后一幕。”
The ninth scenario, Dark Castle. In this scenario, beings that had never appeared before emerged.
第九个场景，黑暗城堡。在这个场景中，以前从未出现过的生物出现了。
I watched Lee Hyunsung, who was still trembling with fear, the unconscious Lee Jihye and Shin Yoosung who was caring for the injured Lee Gilyoung.
我看着李贤星，他仍然因为恐惧而颤抖，不省人事的李智慧和照顾受伤的李吉英的申永成。
Maybe my other companions were alive somewhere. There was Jung Heewon so they wouldn’t be defeated so easily on the first floor.
也许我的其他同伴还活着。有郑和元，所以他们不会在一楼那么容易被击败。
“The first floor is just a joke. The real hell is the second floor.”
“一楼只是个玩笑，真正的地狱在二楼。”
A special window in the castle showed the outside landscape. Crowds were moving around Seoul. Unfortunately, in the absence of the ‘greatest sacrifice’ and the ensuing struggle, half of Seoul had become demon servants.
城堡里有一扇特殊的窗户，可以看到外面的风景。首尔到处都是人群。不幸的是，在没有“最大的牺牲”和随之而来的斗争的情况下，半个首尔成了魔鬼的仆人。
The incarnations of Seoul were shouting sorrowfully. Despair already covered Seoul but the ‘story’ was still lacking. The story was always lacking.
首尔的前身们悲伤地呐喊着。绝望已经覆盖了首尔，但是故事仍然缺乏。这个故事总是缺乏。
The dokkaebis were seeking larger frustration. The constellations were yearning for more provocative story.
多卡比斯在寻找更大的挫折感，星座渴望更具煽动性的故事。
Han Sooyoung stared out the window and spoke. “It is a cliche imagination. Regressors, returnees, reincarnators. Now there are demons?”
韩素英盯着窗外说道:“这是一种陈词滥调的想象。回归者，回归者，转世者。现在还有恶魔?”
“A person who plagiarized is saying this…”
“一个抄袭的人说这个......”
“Hey, I told you a couple of times…”
“嘿，我告诉过你几次......”
I was joking as usual when I suddenly became curious. “Han Sooyoung.”
我像往常一样开玩笑，突然好奇起来
“What is it?”
“这是什么?”
“If you are the writer of Ways of Survival…”
“如果你是《生存之道》的作者......”
“I didn’t write that garbage.”
“那些垃圾不是我写的。”
“Let’s just assume.”
“让我们假设一下。”
The grumpy Han Sooyoung bit her lips. “…If I am the writer?”
脾气暴躁的韩淑英咬着自己的嘴唇，“......如果我是作家?”
“If you are the writer of Ways of Survival, why did you make this world?”
“如果你是《生存之道》的作者，你为什么要创造这个世界?”
“How should I know?”
“我怎么知道?”
“You are also writer.”
“你也是作家。”
“How can a first-rate writer like me know the thoughts of a third-rate writer?”
“像我这样的一流作家怎么会知道一个三流作家的想法呢?”
…I was an idiot for asking her. Han Sooyoung continued speaking. “I should be the one asking you that.”
韩素英继续说道:“这个问题应该由我来问。”
“…What?”
“......什么?”
I met Han Sooyoung’s deep eyes. I couldn’t read Han Sooyoung even if I used Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. Still, I seemed to understand a bit. A person who read the story might have similar thoughts.
我看到了韩素英深邃的眼眸。即使我用全知读者的视角，我也读不懂韩秀英。尽管如此，我似乎还是有点明白了。一个读过这个故事的人可能会有类似的想法。
‘You know the end of this world. Isn’t that right?’
你知道世界末日，对吧
Han Sooyoung was obviously asking this. As always, I didn’t answer.
韩素英显然是在问这个问题，我一如既往地没有回答。
Han Sooyoung stared out the window like she knew she wouldn’t receive an answer. Then she asked another question. “…Why do the scenarios exist?”
韩素英盯着窗外，好像知道自己不会得到答案。然后她又问了一个问题。“......为什么会出现这种情况?”
I stared out the window.
我凝视着窗外。
The dark sky above the destroyed Seoul could be seen. Was it because I had become a constellation? The sky wasn’t the same as before.
在被摧毁的首尔上空可以看到黑暗的天空。是因为我变成了一个星座吗？天空和以前不一样了。
Countless constellations were embroidering the sky. The Star Stream was embracing the constellations. They were stars that could never be reached despite being so close.
