Jang Hayoung started talking in earnest with the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon and laughed with pleasure. I watched Jang Hayoung and slightly scolded him,
张海英开始认真地与深渊黑色火龙交谈，愉快地笑了起来。我看着张海英，轻轻地责备他,
“What’s so funny?”
“有什么好笑的?”
“It’s just funny to talk to this kid.”
“和这个孩子说话很有趣。”
Jang Hayoung was a strange guy who treated a high ranking constellation as a friend but the even more ridiculous thing was that the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon had sent a reply.
张海英是一个奇怪的家伙，他把一个高级星座当成朋友，但更荒谬的是，深渊黑焰龙给了他一个回复。
This jerk only cared about Han Sooyoung so why was he responding to the wrong message?
这个混蛋只关心韩秀英，他为什么回复错误的信息？
Then as if to defend the black dragon, Jang Hayoung shook his head. “I don’t think he is a bad guy like you think.”
然后，似乎是为了保护黑龙，张海英摇了摇头。“我不认为他像你想的那样是个坏人。”
“What nonsense is this? Did you fall for him?”
“这是什么鬼话?你爱上他了?”
“He is more gentle when speaking than you think.”
“他说话比你想象的要温和。”
“Gentle? A bastard who replied to a 15 year old schoolgirl is gentle?”
“文雅?一个对一个15岁女学生说话的私生子是文雅的?”
I wondered if I should explain the nasty context when Jang Hayoung replied, “He replied because I am 15 years old.”
当张海英回答说:“他回答我是因为我15岁。”我不知道是否应该解释这种令人不快的情况
“What? He replied because you are 15 years old? What a complete trash.”
“什么?他回答是因为你才15岁?真是个彻头彻尾的垃圾。”
I knew that the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon was cruel and tasteless but I didn’t know he had such preferences. I was suddenly a bit worried for Han Sooyoung.
我知道深渊黑色火龙是残忍和无味的，但我不知道他有这样的偏好。我突然有点担心韩素英。
“Why are you so agitated? He is just happy to have a friend. He says he is 15 years old.”
“你为什么这么激动?他只是很高兴有一个朋友。他说他只有15岁。”
“What bullshit! I don’t know how old he is but is there a 15 year old constellation?”
“胡说八道!我不知道他多大了，但是有一个15年前的星座吗?”
At this moment, a setting suddenly rose in my mind.
这时，一个场景突然出现在我的脑海里。
「The constellations living in the eternal Star Stream are accustomed to confining themselves in certain frameworks to protect their sense of self. A representative example is age. They tend to transfer themselves to a specific age and think they are that age. 」 …Don’t tell me? Even so, wasn’t 15 years old too much? Really?
「生活在永恒星流中的星座习惯于把自己限制在某些框架内，以保护自我意识。」。一个典型的例子是年龄。他们倾向于把自己转移到特定的年龄段，并认为自己就是那个年龄段的人别告诉我？即便如此，15岁是不是太过了？真的吗？
Then a scream was heard from inside the meeting room. It was Han Myungoh. I turned and spoke to the startled Jang Hayoung.
接着，会议室里传来一声尖叫。是HanMyungoh。我转过身来，对震惊的张海英说道。
“I have to go talk to him. I’ll be back in a minute.”
“我得去和他谈谈，一会儿就回来。”
“I know. What should I ask?”
“我知道，我该问什么?”
“Just let him go. In any case, he isn’t a warrior. I’d rather you talk to someone else. Don’t you have the list I gave you earlier? Try them again.”
“让他走吧。无论如何，他不是一个战士。我宁愿你和别人谈谈。你不是有我之前给你的名单吗？再试一次。”
Jang Hayoung nodded. I was uneasy after seeing his excited expression but I thought it would be okay. This was originally his ability.
张海英点点头。看到他兴奋的表情后，我感到不安，但我认为没关系。这本来就是他的本事。
The awakening of the Unidentified Wall was a bit faster than the original novel but this was the best for now. The industrial complex’s revolution was impossible without the help of the wall.
不明之墙的觉醒比原著要快一点，但这是目前最好的。没有柏林墙的帮助，工业联合体的革命是不可能的。
I opened the door to the meeting room. Han Myungoh had just woken up and was covered in sweat.
我打开会议室的门，韩明戈刚刚醒来，浑身是汗。
“Why did I faint?”
“我为什么会晕倒?”
I quietly closed the door of the meeting room and replied, “You fainted after remembering the pain of childbirth.”
我悄悄地关上会议室的门，回答道:“你想起分娩的痛苦就晕倒了。”
Sweat was flowing down Han Myungoh’s face like he had a nightmare.
汗水顺着HanMyungoh的脸流下来，就像他做了一个噩梦。
“That’s it?”
“就这样?”
“Asmodeus probably cursed you as well.”
“阿斯莫德斯可能也诅咒过你。”
“That son of a bitch…”
“那个狗娘养的......”
Han Myungoh expressed his hatred for the demon king more directly than before. It was originally a dangerous thing but now he had left Asmodeus’ sight thanks to the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword.
韩明悟比以前更直接地表达了他对恶魔王的憎恨。这本来是一件危险的事情，但是现在由于四阴恶魔斩首剑，他已经离开了阿斯莫德斯的视线。
I pulled out the chair again and sat back down.
我又把椅子拉了出来，又坐了回去。
“Listen again. What child did you give birth to and why did you receive Asmodeus’ favour?”
“再听一遍，你生了什么孩子，为什么受到阿斯莫德斯的恩惠?”
“…I first have to explain why I had a child.”
“......我首先要解释我为什么会有孩子。”
“I have a rough idea. Is it due to the dark keeper that we fought before?”
“我有个大概的想法。是不是因为我们以前打过的那个黑暗守护者?”
Right before we split apart, Han Myungoh had been affected by the parasitic tentacles of the dark keeper. Usually, such a thing didn’t necessarily mean the conception of a demon species but it happened directly with Han Myungoh “That isn’t the case. It isn’t because of the dark keeper that I had the child.”
就在我们分开之前，韩明悟受到了黑暗守护者寄生的触须的影响。通常，这样的事情并不一定意味着一个恶魔物种的概念，但它直接发生在HanMyungoh身上。不是因为那个黑暗守护者，我才有了这个孩子。”
“Then…”
“那么......”
“It is because of the curse.”
“这是因为诅咒。”
Asmodeus’ curse dealt the final blow to Han Myungoh who was infected by the dark keeper. Asmodeus’ curse consumed probability to realize the ‘most terrible thing’ that the target thought of. In other words… “I understand. By the way, is that possible? A man’s body giving birth…”
阿斯莫德斯的诅咒给了被黑暗守护者感染的汉明戈最后一击。阿斯莫德斯的诅咒消耗了实现目标所想到的“最可怕的事情”的可能性。换句话说......“我明白。顺便问一下，这可能吗？一个男人的身体在分娩......”
“Don’t ask about that part.”
“别问那个部分。”
I lightly nodded. It was the minimum courtesy for the elder who had an unbelievable experience. We were silent for a moment. It suddenly felt weird that I was talking to Han Myungoh like this.
我轻轻地点了点头。这是对那些有过难以置信的经历的老人最起码的礼貌。我们沉默了一会儿。我这样和韩明武说话，突然觉得很奇怪。
「 Kim Dokja thought: It is a strange feeling. 」
“金道佳心想:这种感觉很奇怪”
Before the destruction came, Han Myungoh was a person who made life hard for ‘office worker’ Kim Dokja. He was one of the top-ranked bosses to be avoided. Certainly, there were days like that. It was a time when I felt bitter over the 3,000 convenience store bento and when I had to count every bit of my monthly salary.
在这场灾难来临之前，HanMyungoh是一个让“办公室职员”KimDokja的生活变得艰难的人。他是需要避免的顶级老板之一。当然，也有过这样的日子。那是一段时间，我对3000个便利店便当感到苦恼，我不得不数着我每个月的工资。
Now those days were gone. Kim Dokja and Han Myungoh were no longer an office worker and department head. Instead, they were talking about a ‘demon king.’ “Kim Dok… no, Yoo Jonghyuk-ssi. Do you know what it’s like to be a father?”
现在那些日子已经一去不复返了。KimDokja和HanMyungoh不再是办公室职员和部门主管。相反，他们谈论的是一个“魔王”“金道......不，柳永玉西。你知道做父亲是什么感觉吗?”
I was a bit baffled by Han Myungoh’s sudden words. “I don’t know.”
韩明悟突然说出的话让我有点困惑:“我不知道。”
“I learnt.”
“我学会了。”
In fact, it was hard to say if Han Myungoh should be called a mother or a father but I decided to move on because this wasn’t the important thing. Han Myungoh had a serious expression.
事实上，很难说韩明玉是一个母亲还是一个父亲，但是我决定继续前进，因为这不是最重要的。韩明悟的表情很严肃。
“It was painful.”
“那很痛苦。”
The words sounded much more painful than any of Han Myungoh’s previous statements.
这些话听起来比HanMyungoh之前的任何声明都要痛苦。
“I was also happy.”
“我也很高兴。”
I looked at Han Myungoh with surprise. At this moment, I realized the identity of my strange feeling. Maybe I didn’t want to admit it. Everybody changed. Whether they were good or evil, a child or an adult.
我惊讶地看着韩明悟。这一刻，我意识到了我奇怪感觉的身份。也许我不想承认。每个人都变了。不管他们是好人还是坏人，是孩子还是成年人。
“She is a very pretty daughter.”
“她是个非常漂亮的女儿。”
“I would love to see her once. Is she in the Demon World?”
“我很想见她一面，她在魔鬼世界吗?”
“Now she isn’t with me.” His expression darkened and I got a hunch.
“现在她不在我身边了。”他的表情变得阴沉起来，我有了一种预感。
“Then…?”
“那么......?”
“It is a long story. Will you help?”
“说来话长，你愿意帮忙吗?”
“Tell me first. I would like to hear your story.”
“先告诉我，我想听听你的故事。”
Han Myungoh hadn’t come directly into the household of the demon king. In a place that I didn’t know, Han Myungoh’s story had continued. He took his daughter and broke through the scenario alone.
韩明悟并没有直接进入魔王的家。在一个我不知道的地方，HanMyungoh的故事还在继续。他带着他的女儿，独自突破了这一切。
Capture the flag.
夺取旗帜。
The war of kings.
国王的战争。
The five disasters.
五大灾难。
I couldn’t believe such a story had happened in places I couldn’t see. I couldn’t believe that Han Myungoh could show such devotion to someone. On the other hand, I had to admit it.
我无法相信这样的故事竟然发生在我看不见的地方。我不敢相信韩明悟会对一个人表现出这样的忠诚。另一方面，我不得不承认这一点。
I was no longer the old Kim Dokja. The man in front of me wasn’t the old Han Myungoh. I didn’t know if the birth of his child was the trigger. The only thing that was clear was that Han Myungoh had changed.
我不再是以前的金独子了。我前面的那个人不是老韩明戈。我不知道他孩子的出生是否是导火索。唯一清楚的是，韩明武已经变了。
“It was tough.”
“这很艰难。”
“Yes, it was hard. I almost died many times. At the end, I fell into a crisis I couldn’t escape from.”
“是的，这很难。我好几次差点死掉。最后，我陷入了一场无法摆脱的危机。”
He was finally driven to the brink at a time when the Dark Castle scenario hadn’t officially started yet. Han Myungoh was surrounded by demons and demon nobles and realized he could no longer defend his child.
当黑暗城堡的情节还没有正式开始的时候，他最终被逼到了悬崖边上。韩明悟被恶魔和恶魔贵族包围，他意识到自己无法再保护自己的孩子了。
Then he prayed for the first time in his life. He prayed for someone to protect his child. If this child lived, he would do anything. To his surprise, a presence answered his prayers.
然后，他生平第一次祈祷。他祈祷有人能保护他的孩子。如果这个孩子还活着，他会做任何事。令他惊讶的是，他的祈祷得到了回应。
-A beautiful child.
一个漂亮的孩子。
“It was Asmodeus.”
“是阿斯莫德斯。”
“…Did the demon king steal your child?”
“...魔王偷走了你的孩子吗?”
I felt bad because of the terrible things I imagined. Asmodeus was the Demon King of Rage and Lust. It was obvious what would happen if a child entered his hands. However, Han Myungoh’s expression was calm.
我感觉很糟糕，因为我想象的可怕的事情。阿斯莫德斯是愤怒和欲望的魔王。如果一个孩子进入他的手中，会发生什么是显而易见的。然而，韩明悟的表情却很平静。
“She is safe. After all, she is a child born from Asmodeus’ curse. And… the demon king isn’t in a situation where he can touch my daughter.”
“她很安全。毕竟，她是从阿斯莫德斯的诅咒中诞生的孩子。而且......恶魔王也不能碰我的女儿。”
“What does that mean?”
“这是什么意思?”
“The demon king has made my daughter his ‘incarnation body’.”
“魔王把我的女儿变成了他的‘化身’。”
I seemed to know what happened.
我似乎知道发生了什么。
It might be a whim but the demon king Asmodeus made Han Myungoh’s child one of his incarnation bodies. As one of the child’s parents, Han Myungoh was given a demon noble title.
这可能只是一时兴起，但是恶魔之王阿斯莫德斯将韩孟国的孩子作为他的化身。作为这个孩子的父母之一，韩明悟被授予了一个恶魔的贵族头衔。
“…That’s how I became a demon.”
“我就是这样变成魔鬼的。”
After hearing this, I felt that Han Myungoh’s life was very difficult. His life might be considered successfully because he got a title but it might be considered a failure because his child was taken…
听到这个，我觉得韩明悟的生活很艰难。他的生活可能被认为是成功的，因为他得到了一个头衔，但它可能被认为是一个失败，因为他的孩子被带走了..。
Han Myungoh’s eyes were sombre as he opened his mouth again.
韩明悟再次张开嘴的时候，眼神阴郁。
“I want to save my daughter.”
“我想救我的女儿。”
For a moment, I thought I heard wrong. What did he want?
有那么一会儿，我以为我听错了。他想要什么？
“I won’t speak long words. Help me. I won’t forget your grace if you help me this once.”
“我不会说太长的话。帮帮我。只要你帮我这一次，我就不会忘记你的恩典。”
What was this situation all of a sudden?
怎么突然变成这样了？
He filmed a life theatre all by himself and now he wanted me to help him?
他自己拍摄了一个生活剧场，现在他想让我帮他？
“You’ve been watching me for a long time and should know well. I am a human who is a coward. However, this is something I can’t concede on.”
“你已经观察我很长时间了，应该很清楚。我是一个人类，一个懦夫。然而，这是我不能让步的事情。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“Last night was out of my expectations. I was scared but I actually didn’t hurt anyone. The executioners were excited by the appearance of the guardian and did what they wanted.”
“昨晚出乎我的意料。我很害怕，但实际上我没有伤害任何人。刽子手们为监护人的出现而兴奋不已，想干什么就干什么。”
Han Myungoh swore the Oath of Existence and couldn’t lie to me. Then this wasn’t a lie. I decided to respond rationally. “I’m sorry but I have no plans to fight Asmodeus.”
韩明悟发过生存的誓言，不能对我撒谎。那这就不是谎言了。我决定理智地回应。“对不起，我没有和阿斯莫德斯作战的计划。”
This would become complicated if one of the 72 demon kings were lost. It would attract foreign forces when the revolution hadn’t even begun yet.
如果72个恶魔国王中的一个失踪了，事情就会变得复杂起来。当革命还没有开始的时候，它就会吸引外国势力。
Han Myungoh’s next reaction was surprising. “You don’t have to fight Asmodeus. You just have to continue doing what you are doing. Start a revolution and kill the duke. I will help you.”
韩明戈的下一个反应令人惊讶。“你不必和阿斯莫德斯战斗。你只需要继续做你正在做的事情。发动一场革命，杀死公爵。我会帮你的。”
“…Aren’t you on the duke’s side?”
“你不是站在公爵那边吗?”
“Originally that was the case. Now that things have become like this, I think it will be okay to help you.”
“原来是这样的。既然事情已经变成这样了，我想我可以帮助你了。”
“What do you mean?”
“什么意思?”
“Asmodeus didn’t want me to help the duke. He had a suggestion for me. If I made the story he wanted, he would return my daughter. That’s why I attached myself to Duke Syswitz.”
“阿斯莫德斯不想让我帮助公爵。他给我提了一个建议。如果我写了他想要的故事，他会把我的女儿还给我。这就是为什么我喜欢杜克·塞斯维茨的原因。”
This part wasn’t in the original novel. It was no wonder. From the beginning, Han Myungoh wasn’t present in the novel.
这部分不在原著中。这并不奇怪。从一开始，韩明悟就没有出现在小说中。
I struggled for a moment before asking, “What story does the demon king want?”
我挣扎了一会儿，然后问道:“魔王想要什么样的故事?”
“The king of the 73rd Demon Realm.”
“第73魔界之王。”
Han Myungoh slowly raised his head and stared at me. Han Myungoh’s eyes were exactly the same as the interviewer on the day I joined Mino Soft.
韩明悟慢慢地抬起头，盯着我。在我加入MinoSoft的那天，HanMyungoh的眼睛和面试官的一模一样。
“The demon king… he told me to make the ’73rd Demon King’ with my own hands.”
“魔王......他让我亲手打造‘第73代魔王’。”
***

Yoo Jonghyuk was starting at the night sky with indifferent eyes.
柳钟玉用冷漠的眼神看着夜空。
The sky with different constellations from Earth was visible. Yoo Jonghyuk’s body leaning against the Heaven Shaking Sword looked thinner than usual as he counted the stars. His body was covered with blood and his face was wounded. There was a second grade monster that had just been defeated lying in front of him.
与地球不同星座的天空清晰可见。柳钟玉靠在宝剑上数着星星，身子显得比平时瘦了许多。他浑身是血，脸也受了伤。有一个二年级的怪物刚刚被打败，躺在他的面前。
“…The 15th scenario is finished.”
“......第15种情况已经结束。”
Planet Lugratia.
卢格拉达星球。
Yoo Jonghyuk came here through a ‘personal scenario’ from one of the constellations of this world.
柳永玉是通过一个来自这个世界的星座的个人场景来到这里的。
Originally, he would’ve proceeded with Earth’s scenarios. However, he had strong colleagues this regression and decided to leave the scenarios to them. The situation was growing faster than his previous regression. It was right for him to stockpile his power when he could. This current power wouldn’t be enough if he entered the scenarios in the 20s.
起初，他会按照地球上的情景来进行。然而，他有强有力的同事这次回归，并决定把场景留给他们。这种情况比他以前倒退的速度更快。对他来说，在可能的时候囤积他的力量是正确的。如果他在20年代进入这个场景，那么现在的权力还不够。
‘I need to be stronger.’
我需要变得更坚强
That’s why Yoo Jonghyuk replaced the main scenario with ‘personal scenarios’ since the 11th main scenario. He also picked the hardest personal scenarios with the most rewards. Sometimes he even challenged personal scenarios that were too reckless for him.
