One day, there was a constellation who left such a remark.
有一天，有一个星座留下了这样一句话。
「 “Every story has a flaw. This means that all stories can be completed.” 」
“每个故事都有漏洞，这意味着所有故事都可以完成”
The legendary story ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’. This story was made by the narrative-grade constellation who left behind that remark.
传奇故事《随心所欲扭曲事物》。这个故事是由一个叙事级别的星座制作的，他留下了那句话。
[The story ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’ is searching for the target of the distortion.]
[《随心所欲扭曲事物》这个故事正在寻找扭曲的对象。]
I got up and moved away from the ruined building. I could see three constellations chasing me through the dust clouds. It was originally four but I didn’t know where the last one went.
我站了起来，离开了那座废弃的建筑。我可以看到三个星座穿过尘埃云追着我。最初是四个，但我不知道最后一个去了哪里。
[Kuaaaah…]
[ Kuaaaah... ]
[Gi ve me the sto ry co re.]
[把这个给我吧]
I was surrounded by the incarnation bodies. There was one giant snake that reminded me of Orochi and one giant field mouse. The last one was a fiery dog resembling a Cerberus. The Mass Production Maker had told me something during my visit to the Gourmet Association.
我被化身的身体包围着。有一条巨蛇让我想起了Orochi，还有一只巨大的田鼠。最后一只是一只脾气暴躁的狗，很像刻耳柏洛斯。在我参观美食家协会的时候，大规模生产制造商告诉了我一些事情。
-Not all constellations have a noble character.
不是所有的星座都有高贵的品格。
Some of the constellations would build up stories like me to become constellations while others would lend themselves to the ‘authority’ of other constellations. In some cases, they might not have accumulated excellent stories but they were lucky enough to fall into an advantageous area and become a constellation.
一些星座会编造出像我这样的故事，变成星座，而另一些则会借助于其他星座的“权威”。在某些情况下，他们可能没有积累出色的故事，但他们很幸运地落入一个有利的领域，成为一个星座。
“What if I don’t want to give it to you?”
“如果我不想给你呢?”
It was the case with the guys in front of me.
我前面的人就是这样。
[The constellation ‘Nouveau Riche Snake Boss’ is staring at you.]
[“暴发户蛇头”正盯着你看]
They were those who received the patronage of constellations or ‘fortunately’ became constellations by eating other beginner constellations or incarnations.
他们是那些得到星座赞助的人，或者“幸运地”通过食用其他初学者的星座或化身而成为星座。
[The constellation ‘Nail-Eating Rat’ is coveting your nails.] [The constellation ‘Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames’ is looking at the surrounding constellations.]
[“啃指甲的老鼠”星座正觊觎你的指甲。][“投身火焰的狗”星座正在观察周围的星座。]
I knew I would eventually bump into them from the moment they appeared in front of me.
从他们出现在我面前的那一刻起，我就知道我最终会遇到他们。
[Many constellations are looking forward to your battle!]
[许多星座都期待着你的战斗!]
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is looking forward to your performance!]
[《金发囚徒》星座期待您的表演!]
I could feel the hot gaze of the stars. They would be curious. I hadn’t fought properly since becoming a narrative-grade constellation. Dokgak spoke from the air.
我能感觉到星星的热烈凝视。他们会好奇的。自从成为叙事级别的星座后，我就没有好好地战斗过。杜卡克在空中说。
[Haha, you are still stupid… are you really going to fight?]
[哈哈，你还是这么笨...你真的要打架吗?]
I listened to Dokgak’s words and gritted my teeth. The three constellations in front of me had exactly the same level of combat power as me. It was due to Dokgak’s penalty. A penalty where everyone in the scenario had the same combat power.
我听了道高的话，咬紧牙关。我面前的三个星座拥有和我一样的战斗力。这是由于多卡克的处罚。这是一种惩罚，在这个场景中的每个人都拥有相同的战斗力。
I used Way of the Wind to avoid the poisonous liquid that poured out of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss’ mouth. At almost the same time, the Nail-Eating Rat swiped his nails towards me. The moment I rolled around on the ground, the surroundings were filled with the flames of the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames.
我用《风之道》来避免暴发户蛇头嘴里流出的有毒液体。几乎就在同一时间，那只啃指甲的老鼠用指甲指着我。我在地上打滚的那一刻，周围都是那只自投罗网的狗的火焰。
I moved around the flames and pulled out my newest thing. This was a fight that couldn’t be won if we faced each other with our incarnation bodies. This was if it was only the force of the incarnation body.
我在火焰中移动，拿出我最新的东西。这是一场如果我们用化身的身体来面对对方就不可能赢得的战斗。这是如果它只是化身身体的力量。
[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated.]
[独家技能，角色列表被激活。]
They might be animals but they were still great-grade constellations. Originally, I couldn’t look at them with this skill.
他们可能是动物，但他们仍然是伟大的等级星座。本来，我不能看着他们与这种技能。
[The effect of ‘Looked into the Abyss’ has increased the effect of all your skills.] [The exclusive skill ‘Character List’ is amplified!]
[看进深渊的效果增加了你所有技能的效果][独家技能‘角色列表’被放大!]
This time was different.
这次不一样。
[You will be able to view constellations who are lower rated than you.]
[你可以看到评分比你低的星座。]
.
.
[You can now read the constellation information of ‘Nouveau Riche Snake Boss.’] [You can now read the constellation information of ‘Nail-Eating Rat.’] [You can now read the constellation information of ‘Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames.’]
[你现在可以阅读‘暴发户蛇头’的星座信息][您现在可以阅读“啃指甲的老鼠”的星座信息][你现在可以阅读‘把自己扔进火焰的狗’的星座信息。]
I looked at the characteristics of these guys. Of course, it didn’t make sense to simply identify the stats or attributes information when combat power was set at a certain point.
我观察了这些人的特征。当然，当战斗力设置在某一点时，简单地识别属性信息是没有意义的。
[The effect of Character List will randomly output a list of the constellation’s stories.]
[角色列表的效果会随机输出星座的故事列表]
A list of their stories quickly crossed my eyes.
他们的故事一个个涌上我的眼帘。
[Snake Eating Other Snakes.]
[蛇吃其他蛇]
[Rat Turning Into a Person.]
[老鼠变成人]
[Loyalty Towards the Master.]
[对大师的忠诚]
[Predator of the Weak.]
[弱者的掠夺者]
…
In the meantime, countless attacks were focused on me. The fist of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss grazed past my shoulders, my body flew through the air from an attack by the Nail-Eating Rat and my skin was burnt by the flames of the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames.
与此同时，无数的攻击都集中在我身上。暴发户蛇头的拳头擦过我的肩膀，我的身体从空中飞过，被吃指甲的老鼠袭击，我的皮肤被投入火焰的狗烧伤。
[Your reading speed has increased due to the attribute effect.]
[由于属性效应，你的阅读速度提高了]
I didn’t back down and kept reading their list of stories. They were constellations and had an excellent number of stories. Some were legendary while most were history-grade.
我没有退缩，继续阅读他们的故事列表。它们是星座，有着大量的故事。有些是传奇，而大多数是历史级的。
[Rat Who Stole the Words of the Night.]
[偷了夜晚之语的老鼠]
[Fear of Rodents]
[害怕啮齿动物]
[Mine is Mine, Yours is Mine Too.]
我的是我的，你的也是我的
[Towards Plandas.]
[朝向普兰达斯]
…
How long had it been? My legs were paralyzed and the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss wound around my body. My vision was literally reversed as my body was captured by him.
多久没见了？我的双腿瘫痪了，暴发户蛇头缠绕着我的身体。当我的身体被他抓住的时候，我的视线完全颠倒了。
Gi ve me the Sto ry Co re.]
给我看看报纸吧
The strong grip on my body made by bones feel twisted. It was a mighty power that the Infinite Dimension Space Coat couldn’t bear. Story fragments fell down from my body like crumbs.
我的身体被骨头紧紧地抓住，感觉像是被扭曲了。这是无限维度空间外衣无法承受的强大力量。故事的碎片像面包屑一样从我身上掉了下来。
[The constellations who love cruel stories are excited.]
[喜欢残酷故事的星座都很兴奋。]
[Some of the constellations want to see your body torn apart.]
[有些星座希望看到你的身体被撕成碎片]
The eyes of the snake changed at the indirect messages of the constellations. Having the name of ‘constellation’ didn’t mean all of them were on the same level.
蛇的眼睛因为星座的间接信息而变了。拥有“星座”这个名字并不意味着它们都在同一个水平上。
They were more like incarnations. They were watched by other constellations and received coins from them.
它们更像是化身，被其他星座所监视，并从它们那里收到硬币。
“I have one question… Why do you want to live like this?”
“我有一个问题......你为什么想要这样生活?”
The Nail-Eating Rat raised his head with a sound.
啃指甲的老鼠一声抬起头。
[Kuooooh…?]
[ Kuooooh... ? ]
I smiled bitterly. Well, I couldn’t afford to think about such things. I had to survive these guys.
我苦笑了一下，好吧，我不能去想这些事情，我必须在这些家伙面前活下来。
“I feel sorry for you. Right? Usually a constellation should have a ‘king’s story’…”
“我为你感到难过，对吗?通常一个星座应该有一个‘国王的故事’......”
[The story ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’ is paying attention to your words.]
[《随心所欲歪曲事物》这个故事就是关注你的文字。]
Whether it was a snake, a rat, a dog or a human… Those who steadily built up their stories would have a story of a ‘king’ at the very least. However, these guys have no such stories.
不管是一条蛇，一只老鼠，一条狗还是一个人......那些坚定不移地讲述他们故事的人至少会有一个关于“国王”的故事。然而，这些人没有这样的故事。
“…You have always fought against beings weaker than yourself and don’t have such stories.”
“......你总是和比你弱小的生物战斗，没有这样的故事。”
[Wh at non sense…!]
[怎么可能...!]
The next moment, a bright light rose from my body.
接下来，一道亮光从我身上升起。
[The story ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’ has found a story to distort.]
(《随心所欲地歪曲事实》这个故事被歪曲了。)
The story, Distorting Things as One Pleases. This story didn’t have the power to improve my combat power.
这个故事，随心所欲地歪曲事物。这个故事没有能力提高我的战斗力。
[The story ‘Distorting Things as One Pleases’ is starting the story distortion.]
(《随心所欲地歪曲事实》的故事开始歪曲事实。)
Instead, it could wake up the potential of stories that hadn’t yet found their true power. The direction didn’t matter.
相反，它可以唤醒那些尚未找到真正力量的故事的潜力。
[The story ‘King of a World without a King’ has been distorted!] [The story ‘King of a World without a King’ is starting the story.]
(“没有国王的世界之王”的故事被歪曲了!)(故事《没有国王的世界之王》就是这个故事的开始。)
I felt the power of the story seething deep inside my body. The muscles in both arms swelled up. I gripped the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss that was wrapped around my body. The snake screamed in my hands.
我感到这个故事的力量在我的身体深处沸腾。双臂的肌肉肿胀起来。我紧紧抓住缠在我身上的暴发户蛇头。蛇在我的手中尖叫。
「 The world without a king is now here. 」
“没有国王的世界就在眼前”
A huge magic power escaped and the story started to speak for itself. The reason I checked the constellations’ list of stories was simple. It was to use this power.
一个巨大的魔力逃脱了，故事开始为自己说话。我查看星座故事列表的原因很简单。就是为了利用这种力量。
「 He was born rejecting all thrones in his black world. 」
“他生来就拒绝接受黑人世界的所有王位”
A brilliant light rose from the sword in my hands. The Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword. It was the sword used to destroy the Absolute Throne and the weapon used in the story King of a Kingless World. The weapon responded to my story and regained its original shape.
我手中的剑上升起一道耀眼的光芒。四阴恶魔斩首剑。它是用来摧毁绝对王座的剑，也是无王世界之王故事中使用的武器。这个武器回应了我的故事，恢复了它原来的形状。
「 Reign over all beings who aren’t kings. 」
“统治非国王的一切生物”
[W-Wait! This strength…!]
等等!这种力量...
The fact that our combat power was the same didn’t mean the ‘status’ of the stories is the same.
事实上，我们的战斗力是一样的，并不意味着故事的地位是一样的。
Even if the density and number of stories were low, I was also a constellation. Dokgak should’ve properly recognized this fact.
即使故事的密度和数量很低，我也是一个星座。杜卡克应该正确地认识到这个事实。
[Some constellations are admiring your story application!]
(一些星座正在欣赏你的故事申请!)
[The constellations of the Big Dipper are paying attention to you.]
[北斗七星的星座在关注你。]
Dokgak was bewildered and he frantically tried to manipulate the scenario. However, now it was too late to change the sub scenario. He had already exhausted a lot of probability because of the excessive sub scenario.
多卡克感到困惑，他疯狂地试图操纵这个场景。然而，现在改变子方案已经太晚了。他已经用尽了很多的可能性，因为过多的子方案。
[The constellation ‘Nail-Eating Rat’ is preparing to turn its tail and run.]
[“啃指甲的老鼠”星座正准备转身逃跑。]
The rat realized the unusual signs and turned around first. However, I wouldn’t miss a single one.
老鼠意识到了这些不寻常的迹象，于是先转过身来，不过我一个也不会错过。
“Stop.”
“停下来。”
[The effect of the story ‘King of a Kingless World’ is activated.] [In front of your majesty, all beings who failed to qualify as kings must bow.]
[故事《无王世界之王》的效果被激活了][在陛下面前，所有没有资格成为国王的人都必须鞠躬]
[Kuaaaah!]
[ Kuaaaah! ]
[Eeeek!]
[哎呀!]
There were powerful sparks and the bodies of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss and Nail-Eating Rat became stiff. The Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames was already on the ground from the moment he saw my story.
火花四溅，暴发户蛇头和啃指甲鼠的身体变得僵硬。那只把自己投入火焰的狗从他看到我的故事的那一刻起就已经在地上了。
[Grrrr. D… don’t co me.]
[ Grrrr d. . . don’t co me. ]
As I approached, the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss wriggled on the ground. Only those who had the story of a ‘king’ could resist this story.
当我走近时，暴发户蛇头在地上扭动着。只有那些拥有“国王”故事的人才能抗拒这个故事。
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is pleased.] [The Demon King of Lust and Fury is looking at you.]
[《金发囚徒》星座很高兴][欲望与愤怒的魔王正在看着你]
As the king of the monkeys and king of the 32 Demon Realm watched over me, the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword moved.
当猴王和三十二恶魔国王看着我的时候，四阴恶魔斩首剑移动了。
[Kuaaaaaack!]
[ Kuaaaaaack! ]
One blow. Two blows. I struck the head of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss a few times. The scales of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss weren’t easily destroyed. The flesh of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss was cut by the White Pure Star Energy and his blood splashed, turning the surrounding land red. The Nouveau Riche Snake Boss let out several pained screams before falling quiet.
一击即中。两拳。我打了暴发户蛇头几下。暴发户蛇头的天平并不容易被摧毁。暴发户蛇头的肉被白色纯净之星能量切断，他的血溅到周围的土地上，变成红色。暴发户蛇头在安静下来之前发出了几声痛苦的尖叫。
[The constellations of the absolute good system are frowning at your cruelty.]
[绝对善良系统的星座对你的残忍皱眉。]
I pulled the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword out of the head of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss.
我从暴发户蛇老板的头上拔出了四阴恶魔斩首剑。
[The demon king, ‘Silver Claws Owl’ is rejoicing in your execution.]
恶魔王“银爪猫头鹰”正在为你的死刑而欢呼
[2,000 coins have been sponsored.]
[赞助了2000枚硬币]
The constellations didn’t know what was really cruel.
星座不知道什么才是真正残忍的。
“You should’ve been prepared if you coveted my position.”
“如果你觊觎我的职位，你就应该做好准备。”
This was a warning to the constellations. It was a warning that they shouldn’t interfere with the giant story. I watched the sky and waved the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword.
这是对星座的警告。这是一个警告，他们不应该干涉这个巨大的故事。我仰望天空，挥舞着四阴恶魔斩首剑。
[You have killed the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss’s incarnation body.] [You have acquired some of the stories of the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss.]
你已经杀死了暴发户蛇头的化身[你已经获得了一些暴发户蛇头的故事。]
It was the power of the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword that could cut off the connection between constellation and incarnation body.
这是四阴恶魔斩首剑的力量，可以切断星座和化身身体之间的联系。
[The constellation ‘Nouveau Riche Snake Boss’ has fallen into a deep sleep with a scream.]
[“暴发户蛇头”星座在尖叫声中陷入了沉睡。]
Perhaps the Nouveau Riche Snake Boss would never return to an incarnation body. Then I looked at the Nail-Eating Rat. Soon after, the Nail-Eating Rat received the same fate.
也许暴发户蛇头永远不会回到化身的身体。然后我看了看啃指甲的老鼠。不久之后，吃指甲的老鼠也遭遇了同样的命运。
[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is delighting in your madness.] [The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is looking at you with sad eyes.]
[深不可测的黑色火龙星座正为你的疯狂而欣喜。][星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’正用悲伤的眼神看着你。]
I brushed the blood of my cheeks and looked at the last remaining constellation. The Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames was trembling uncontrollably while his head drooped down. The flames that covered his body had already disappeared.
我擦了擦脸颊上的血，看了看最后一个星座。把自己投入火焰的狗不由自主地颤抖着，他的头低垂下来。覆盖在他身上的火焰已经消失了。
