The Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames ran while carrying me for two days and nights. The constellations relentlessly chasing me were a frequent threat but every time, the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames literally threw his body to protect me.
那只把自己投入火焰的狗背着我跑了两天两夜。无情的星座追逐我是一个常见的威胁，但每一次，那只把自己投入火焰的狗，字面上扔他的身体来保护我。
[The story ‘Faithfully Devoting One’s Life’ has been repeated.]
[《忠诚地奉献一生》这个故事已经被重复了。]
How far did we run? Finally, the brightness of a new day could be seen.
我们跑了多远?终于，我们可以看到新的一天的光明。
[The sub scenario ― Skirmish has ended.]
[子场景-小冲突已经结束。]
[You have kept the Story Core safe during the time limit.]
[你已经在时间限制内保证了StoryCore的安全。]
The constellations chasing after us stopped one by one in distant places and all types of indirect messages flew through the air.
追逐我们的星群在遥远的地方一个接一个地停下来，各种间接的信息在空中飞过。
[Some constellations who failed to chase you are disappointed.] [The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is yawning and asking if it is all over.] [The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is rejoicing with sleepy eyes!] [The constellation ‘Dragon Lying Down’ is nodding at you ploy.]
[有些星座没能追上你，却让你失望了][《金发囚徒》这个星座正在打哈欠，问是否一切都结束了。][《火之审判》中的魔鬼星座正在昏昏欲睡的眼睛中欢欣鼓舞!][《龙卧星座》正朝你点头示意]
[Some constellations are pointing fingers at your cowardice.]
(一些星座指责你的懦弱。)
It didn’t matter if they pointed fingers or not. The most important thing was to survive. Dokgak stared down at me with disapproving eyes and sent me compensation.
他们是否指责并不重要。最重要的是生存。多卡克用不赞成的眼光低头看着我，给了我补偿。
[You have obtained 200,000 coins as compensation.]
你得到了二十万硬币作为补偿
[You have obtained two Anvil Stones for Equipment Transcendence as a reward.]
[作为奖励，你为超越设备获得了两块砧石。]
I thought it was around the time for items to enhance equipment to be released. SSS-grade items from the early scenarios were almost like scraps in the mid-to-late scenario areas. However, using the transcendence anvil stones allowed you to stop the equipment from losing its quality.
我以为是时候发放一些物品来增强装备了。早期情景中的SSS-grade项目在中后期情景中几乎是废料。然而，使用超越砧石可以让你阻止设备失去它的质量。
The income wasn’t just that.
收入不仅仅如此。
[The story ‘One Who Went Against the Twelve Zodiacs’ has been acquired.]
[“一个人与十二个黄道带冲突”的故事已经获得。]
It might be history-grade but the more stories I had, the better. In the end, these little stories gathered together to form the complete ‘status.’ In particular, the stories obtained would be useful in future fights thanks to Distorting Things as One Pleases.
这可能是历史级的，但我的故事越多越好。最后，这些小故事汇集在一起，形成了完整的“身份”特别是，由于《随心所欲地歪曲事实》，所获得的故事在未来的战斗中将会非常有用。
[The constellations chasing you are returning.]
[追逐你的星座又回来了]
No long after the constellations hid themselves, the exterior of the Yoo Jonghyuk Industrial Complex emerged. Citizens who received the escape scenario were lining up to enter the industrial complex. Fortunately, Jang Hayoung and Han Myungoh had done well.
在星座隐藏起来后不久，柳钟玉工业园区的外部就出现了。那些接受逃跑方案的市民正在排队进入工业区。幸运的是，张海英和韩明国做得很好。
I spoke to the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames. “You can leave now. You don’t have to be loyal to me.”
我对那只自投罗网的狗说。“你现在可以走了。你不必对我忠诚。”
He didn’t want to follow me wholeheartedly anyway. Thus, it was better to part ways at this point. However, after I turned away, he kept chasing me.
反正他也不想全心全意地跟着我。因此，最好在这个时候分道扬镳。然而，在我转身离开后，他还是继续追我。
Pant, pant, pant.
裤子，裤子，裤子。
I spoke with a frown. “What? You aren’t going?”
我皱着眉头说:“什么?你不去吗?”
Yip…
阿叶..。
Moisture filled the big dog’s eyes.
湿气充满了大狗的眼睛。
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is looking pitifully at the ‘Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames.’]
[星座‘魔鬼般的火焰审判者’可怜地看着‘把自己投入火焰的狗’。]
The real name of the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames was the Dog of Osu. (TL: Old Korean folktale about a loyal dog who sacrificed himself to save his owner’s life.) In order to save his master from dying of fire, the dog wet his body and used it to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, even this name wasn’t his actual name.
投身火海的狗的真名是獒树的狗。(韩国一个古老的民间故事，讲的是一只忠诚的狗为了救主人而牺牲了自己。)为了救他的主人免于死于火灾，这条狗把自己的身体弄湿，然后用它来灭火。不幸的是，即使这个名字也不是他的真名。
“…Are you going to follow me?”
“你要跟着我吗?”
Yiiip!
哎呀！
I hesitated for a moment. Come to think of it, things would be hard for this dog even if he split from me.
我犹豫了一会儿。仔细想想，即使这只狗和我分开了，它的日子也不好过。
[Some of the constellations are looking at the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames.]
[一些星座看着那只把自己投入火焰的狗。]
In this world, there were just as many constellations aiming for other constellations as there were constellations aiming at incarnations. If he countered those who had the modifiers of ‘Dog Hunter’ or ‘Melberg’s Dog Fancier’ then he would be stolen or killed. So far, he had been safe because of the Twelve Zodiacs.
在这个世界上，针对其他星座的星座数量和针对化身的星座数量一样多。如果他反击那些拥有“猎狗者”或“梅尔伯格的爱狗者”修饰词的人，那么他就会被偷走或被杀死。到目前为止，因为有十二个星座的存在，他还是安全的。
“Then let’s go together.”
“那我们一起去吧。”
Pant pant pant!
喘息喘息！
“However, make your size a bit smaller. It will be a disturbance if you are too big.”
“不过，你的尺寸要小一点。如果你的尺寸太大，就会造成干扰。”
Yiiip!
哎呀！
The Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames reduced the size of his body. He became the size of a golden retriever.
把自己投入火焰的狗缩小了他身体的尺寸。他变得和金毛寻回犬一样大。
“Kim Dokja!” Jang Hayoung discovered me and waved in the distance. “Hey! Are you okay? What is that dog?”
“KimDokja!”张海英发现了我，在远处向我挥手。“嘿!你还好吗?那是什么狗?”
“I picked him up. What about the others?”
“我把他接走了，其他人呢?”
“They are busy guiding the people.”
“他们正忙于指导人民。”
The Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames licked Jang Hayoung’s hand. Jang Hayoung asked, “What’s his name?”
自焚的狗舔了舔张海英的手，张海英问道:“他叫什么名字?”
I wanted to tell the truth but decided to say it roughly. “Osu.”
我想说出真相，但决定粗略地说出来
[You have given a name to the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames.] [The Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames is greatly impressed.] [The loyalty of the Dog Who Threw Himself into the Flames has greatly increased!] …If I had known, I would’ve given him a better name. Jang Hayoung carefully examined Osu’s body and was delighted.
[你给那只自投罗网的狗起了个名字][把自己投入火焰的狗印象深刻。][把自己投入火焰的狗的忠诚度大大提高了!]如果我早知道，我会给他一个更好的名字。张海英仔细检查了奥苏的尸体，很高兴。
“This is great. Sajeo will like you.”
“这太棒了，沙jeo会喜欢你的。”
I was about to ask who ‘Sajeo’ was when I realized.
我正要问‘Sajeo’是谁，这时我意识到。
“…Are you talking about the Breaking the Sky Master? Was she a female?”
“......你是在说打破天空之师吗?她是女的吗?”
“Did you forget that only women can learn the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship?”
“难道你忘了只有女人才能学会破天荒剑术吗?”
Come to think of it… The Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship was like that. There were too many exceptions. For example, the guy in front of me… “…Why are you looking at me like that?”
想想看......《破天荒剑法》就是这样的。有太多的例外。例如，我前面的那个人......“......你为什么那样看着我?”
“No, it’s nothing.” I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts. The important issue right now wasn’t Jang Hayoung’s gender identity. Because… [The beginning of the Demon King Selection is imminent!]
“不，没什么。”我摇摇头，以摆脱我的思想。现在最重要的问题不是张海英的性别身份。因为......(魔王选择的开始迫在眉睫!)
The Demon King Selection was starting now.
魔王选择现在开始了。
“…It came.”
“它来了。”
Jang Hayoung looked up nervously at my words. The entire 73rd Demon Realm was shaking. Unfamiliar coloured stars appeared in the sky one by one. In order to watch the big event where the giant story was occurring, the constellations arrived from various parts of the Star Stream.
张海英紧张地抬头看着我的话。整个第73魔界都在震动。天空中出现了一颗颗陌生的彩色星星。为了观看这个巨大的故事发生的大事件，星座从星流的各个部分抵达。
[Multiple constellations are entering the channel!]
[多个星座正在进入通道!]
[Many demon kings are entering the channel!]
[许多魔王正在进入海峡!]
I could feel the mood just be looking at the beings entering the channel.
我可以感觉到这种情绪只是看着那些进入通道的生物。
[The constellation ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’ is looking at you.] [The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ is staring at you.] [The constellation ‘Mass Production Maker’ is waving at you.]
[最黑暗的春天的女王正在看着你。][“酒神和摇头丸”星座正盯着你。][星座‘大规模生产制造者’正在向你招手]
The constellations I had met also appeared in the high skies.
我所遇到的星座也出现在高空中。
I tried to relax as I looked up at them in the sky. I had finally come to this place. There were still many scenarios remaining and they were far away. Nevertheless, it wasn’t a long way off now. At the very least, I came to a place where these lofty constellations were located in this mountain range.
我试图放松，因为我看着他们在天空中。我终于来到了这个地方。现在还有很多可能，而且他们已经离我们很远了。然而，现在离这个目标已经不远了。至少，我来到了这些高耸的星座所在的山脉。
[The 25th main scenario has arrived!]
(第25个主要场景已经到来!)
[Excessive skipping of the main scenario has damaged party of your status.]
[主要场景的过度跳过损害了你方的状态。]
I didn’t carry out the scenarios in the 20s. I started to 25th scenario straight away so it was unavoidable that there would be a loss in probability.
我在20年代没有实施这些方案。我马上开始了第25个方案，所以这是不可避免的，将有一个损失的概率。

It was a scenario where ‘death’ was marked as the failure result. I would die here if I lost. It wasn’t unfamiliar to me since it happened often.
在这种情况下，死亡被标记为失败的结果。如果我输了，我会死在这里。这对我来说并不陌生，因为它经常发生。
[This scenario is held on a dedicated stage.]
[本场景在一个专门的舞台上进行。]
[The total number of participants in this scenario is four.] [The main participants can recruit ‘helpers’ if it is mutually agreed upon.]
[本场景的参与者总数为四人。][如果双方同意，主要参与者可以招募‘助手’。]
[You are a main participant in this scenario.]
[你是这个场景的主要参与者。]
I felt something great from the north and west.
我感受到了来自北方和西方的伟大。
[The constellations belonging to the ‘Melledon Industrial Complex’ are showing hostility towards you.] [The constellations belonging to the ‘Bercan Industrial Complex’ are showing hostility towards you.]
[属于“梅勒登工业联合体”的星座对你显示出敌意。][属于“贝尔坎工业联合体”的星座对你显示出敌意。]
As the constellations in the sky flashed, the voice of the dokkaebi was heard.
随着天空中星座的闪烁，人们听到了多卡比的声音。
[You have been waiting a long time, constellations.]
[星座们，你们已经等了很久了。]
They were Dokgak and Bihyung.
他们是Dokgak和Bihyung。
[Finally, the Demon King Selection that you have been waiting for has begun!]
[最后，你一直在等待的魔王选择已经开始了!]
Along with Bihyung’s words, a large hologram of a ‘stage’ appeared on the screen in the air.
随着比亨的话，一个巨大的舞台全息图出现在屏幕上的空气中。
[First, thank you to the Mass Production Maker for making the game stage for this scenario!]
[首先，感谢大规模生产制造商为这个场景制作了游戏舞台!]
There was exaggerated applause as the map created by the Mass Production Maker appeared on the hologram.
当大规模生产制造商制作的地图出现在全息图上时，观众爆发出了夸张的掌声。
[The game ‘Mythical Battlefield’ is loaded!]
[游戏“神秘战场”已经装载!]
The map was a vast forest area with huge cliffs at the edges. The forest zone contained patterns of the ‘industrial complex’ in the east, west, north and south, which probably signified the starting points of each industrial complex.
这幅地图是一片广阔的森林区域，边缘有巨大的悬崖。森林带包含了东部、西部、北部和南部的“工业综合体”模式，这可能标志着每个工业综合体的起点。
[As you might have expected, this ‘selection’ isn’t simply a hit and run fight. It will be held in the form of a ‘team competition’, with each team being an industrial complex.]
正如你可能预料的那样，这种“选择”并不是简单的打了就跑的战斗。它将以“团队竞赛”的形式举行，每个团队都是一个工业联合体
Some of the constellations were surprised by the dokkaebis’ words and sent indirect messages. Of course, I wasn’t surprised. I knew it well through the original novel.
一些星座对多卡比斯的话感到惊讶，并发出间接的信息。当然，我并不感到惊讶。通过原著小说，我对它了如指掌。
[The rules of the game are simple. All participants can make a team of seven people, including themselves.] [Every team member is given a different position and will play a role in the scenario through that position.]
游戏规则很简单。所有参与者可以组成一个包括他们自己在内的七人团队[每个团队成员都有一个不同的位置，并通过这个位置在这个场景中扮演一个角色。]
It was similar to the so-called AOS games that were once popular on Earth. One tanker, two close range damage dealers, two long range damage dealers and one supporter. Finally, one all-rounder.
它类似于曾经在地球上流行的所谓的AOS游戏。一艘油轮，两个近距离伤害交易商，两个远距离伤害交易商和一个支援者。最后，一个全能选手。
T
his was the game― the Mythical Battlefield where seven people teamed up to fight.
他的游戏是——神话中的战场，七个人一起战斗。
[The constellation ‘Mass Production Maker’ is smiling.]
[“大规模生产制造商”星座微笑着。]
As a matter of fact, this game was made of elements that had been stolen from somewhere…
事实上，这个游戏是由从某个地方偷来的元素组成的..。
The dokkaebi’s words continued. [There are two ways to win the game. One is to annihilate the participants of other teams apart from your own. The second way is to take away the ‘sentence’ of the other team. Well, there will be more details once you join the game… rather, there is one more important announcement.]
多卡比的话还在继续。有两种方法可以赢得比赛。一个是除了你自己的团队之外，消灭其他团队的参与者。第二种方法是拿走对方的“判决”。嗯，一旦你加入游戏，将会有更多的细节......相反，还有一个更重要的声明
Bihyung glanced at me after long words.
毕亨长篇大论地看了我一眼。
[A total of four teams were originally scheduled to participate in this selection competition but one of the industrial complexes almost collapsed before the game started.]
[原计划共有四支队伍参加这次选拔赛，但在比赛开始前，其中一个工业园区差点倒塌。]
I felt uneasy for a moment. Bihyung continued. [To consider the fairness of the game, we have decided to tie two comparatively unfavourable industrial complexes together into one team.]
我一时感到不安。毕亨继续问道。[考虑到比赛的公平性，我们决定将两个相对不利的工业园区合并为一个团队。]
Then I heard a message in the air.
然后我听到空中传来一个消息。
[You are currently a participant of the Yoo Jonghyuk – Kim Dokja Industrial Complex.]
[你目前是YooJonghyuk-KimDokja工业综合体的参与者]
It was an unexpected situation. I had been worried about Yoo Jonghyuk’s team so now I was able to reduce my troubles. Perhaps it was Bihyung’s doing.
这是一个意想不到的情况。我一直担心柳钟玉的团队，所以现在我能够减少我的麻烦。也许是毕亨干的。
In any case, why was it the Yoo Jonghyuk – Kim Dokja Industrial Complex? Based on the order of the hangul flowchart, shouldn’t the name of the industrial complex be Kim Dokja – Yoo Jonghyuk Industrial Complex? In any case… “Jang Hayoung, where is Yoo Jonghyuk now?” I looked around for Yoo Jonghyuk but I couldn’t find any traces of him.
无论如何，为什么是YooJonghyuk-KimDokja工业综合体？按照韩文流程图的顺序，这个工业综合体的名字不应该是KimDokja-YooJonghyukIndustrialComplex吗？无论如何...“张海英，柳永玉现在在哪里?”我四处寻找柳钟玉，却找不到他的任何踪迹。
Jang Hayoung’s eyes were wide as he asked back, “What are you talking about? Didn’t you meet him?”
张海英瞪大了眼睛问道:“你在说什么?你没见过他吗?”
