My vision blackened before coming back. It felt like my consciousness had experienced a power outage. I blinked blankly but only the dark ceiling was visible.
回来之前,我的视线模糊了。感觉就像我的意识经历了一次断电。我茫然地眨了眨眼睛,但只能看到黑色的天花板。
…What happened? I took deep breaths and moved my heavy head as I started thinking.
...发生了什么事?我深呼吸,移动我沉重的头,我开始思考。
I was participating in the second round of the Demon King Selection. I killed Duke Bercan and at almost the same time, I was killed by Surya. Then the system messages poured out.
我当时正在参加魔王选择的第二轮。我杀了伯坎公爵,几乎同时,我也被苏雅杀了。然后系统信息大量涌出。
Did I win the second round? Or… did I lose? I thought about it but I wasn’t sure.
我赢了第二轮吗?还是...我输了?我想过,但我不确定。
[You have taken away the enemy’s sentence and won the game!]
[你取消了对手的判决,赢得了比赛!]
I seemed to have heard this message.
我似乎听到了这个消息。
[Your sentence was taken away and you have lost the game!]
[你的判决被撤销了,你输了比赛!]
I also seemed to have heard this message. Maybe it was both. Then which one was first? For now, I had no way of knowing.
我似乎也听到了这个消息。也许两者都是。那么哪一个是第一个?现在,我没有办法知道。
[You have died.]
你已经死了
The only thing I was sure about was this message. I died in the game and awakened in this place.
我唯一确定的就是这个信息,我在游戏中死去,在这个地方醒来。
“Ugh…”
“呃......”
I slowly rose from my seat and the place where I was lying was seen more clearly. Numerous lamps were set up between niches, illuminating the vast darkness. It was an unfamiliar place I had never visited before.
我慢慢地从座位上站起来,躺着的地方看得更清楚了。壁龛之间架起了无数盏灯,照亮了茫茫黑暗。这是一个我从未去过的陌生地方。
There was a sign stating [000~100] in the place where I stood and large bookshelves around the sign. There was the smell of books. It was reminiscent of a university library.
在我站的地方有一个写着[000~100]的标志,标志四周有大书架。有书的味道。它让人想起了大学图书馆。
…Library? Why was I here? I pulled out a book on the closest shelf and turned a page.
图书馆?我为什么会在这里?我从最近的书架上拿出一本书翻了一页。
「 After Lee Seolhwa’s death, Yoo Jonghyuk thought he should die many times. He could never win against them with talent and skills alone. The end of the scenario wasn’t visible and the power of the constellations was unbelievably strong. Revenge for Lee Jihye and Lee Seolhwa couldn’t be achieved. Yoo Jonghyuk thought in the midst of his despair. 」
「在李世花死后,柳永玉多次觉得自己应该死去。」。他永远不可能仅凭天赋和技巧战胜他们。剧情的结局是看不见的,星座的力量是难以置信的强大。李智慧和李世华的复仇计划无法实现。柳永玉在绝望中思考
The sentences in the familiar style were lined up and I read the sentences as if they were being sucked in.
熟悉风格的句子排成一行,我读着这些句子,仿佛它们被吸进去了。
「 ‘What if I have a sponsor?’」
“‘如果我有赞助商怎么办?”’
It was a scene that didn’t appear in detail in Ways of Survival. Even so, I knew this scene. It was because the scene was defeated dozens or hundreds of times in my imagination.
这是《生存之道》中没有详细描述的一个场景。即便如此,我还是知道这一幕。这是因为这个场景在我的想象中被打败了几十次或几百次。
「 [The constellation ‘ ?’ wants you to be his incarnation.’ 」
“[星座‘ ’希望你成为他的化身。”
This was the first time Yoo Jonghyuk received his sponsor. Yoo Jonghyuk in the 0th regression repeatedly trained to his limit without a sponsor but had to kneel in front of the incarnation.
这是柳永玉第一次接到他的赞助人。柳荣玉在第0次回归中反复训练到他的极限,没有赞助商,但不得不跪在化身面前。
「 A new attribute, Regressor will blossom! 」
「一个新属性,回归树将绽放」
It was the story of when Yoo Jonghyuk first became a ‘regressor.’ I reflexively closed the book and looked at the title.
这是柳永玉第一次成为“回归者”的故事我条件反射地合上书,看了看书名。
[Yoo Jonghyuk, 56th record of the 0th round.]
[YooJonghyuk,第0轮第56个记录]
I suddenly had an idea of what this place was. As my eyes became accustomed to the darkness, the surroundings looked better. This was the library where all the records of Ways of Survival were gathered.
我突然对这个地方有了一个概念。当我的眼睛适应了黑暗,周围的环境看起来好多了。这是收集《生存之道》所有记录的图书馆。
I muttered in a slightly weary manner. “…It seems to be more than 3,149.”
我有点不耐烦地喃喃自语道,“......好像不止3149个。”
Ways of Survival was long but not to this extent. This huge space was filled with books. I wasn’t sure if I could read half the books even if I devoted my whole life to it.
生存的道路是漫长的,但没有达到这种程度。这个巨大的空间里塞满了书。我不确定我是否能读完一半的书,即使我把我的整个生命都奉献给了它。
Then I got a headache. The curled memories were breaking out like a eggshell cracking. This place that had just seemed unfamiliar now felt familiar. The lamps in the niches and the shelves of books.
然后我头疼了。卷曲的记忆像蛋壳破裂一样爆发出来。这个曾经看起来陌生的地方现在感觉很熟悉。壁龛里的灯和书架上的书。
I slowly got goosebumps and an intense feeling struck my head. I had already come to this place once. When was it? When…
我慢慢地起了鸡皮疙瘩,一种强烈的感觉袭击了我的头。我已经来过这个地方一次。什么时候的事?当..。
「 Kim Dok ja. 」
“金道子”
The voice echoed through the library. I knew this tone. “…The Fourth Wall?”
那个声音在图书馆里回荡。我知道这种语气。“......第四堵墙?”
Then the entire library shook faintly.
然后整个图书馆隐隐约约地震动起来。
「 Yo ur so ul was in dan ger. 」
“你所在位置在丹格尔”
“Danger?”
“危险?”
「 I call ed you…」
“我叫你...”
The Fourth Wall called me here. It wasn’t difficult to figure out what he meant. “Perhaps, are you also in here?”
第四道墙把我叫到这里。不难理解他的意思。“也许,你也在这里?”
「 Co rrect. 」
“不一样”
“How do I get out of here? Where is the exit?”
“我怎么出去?出口在哪里?”
「… 」
“ ... ”
“…Hey?”
“嘿?”
I called out a few more times but the Fourth Wall didn’t answer. He was a guy who slept when sleepy so he might’ve fallen asleep again this time. I had to find a way out myself.
我又喊了几次,但是第四堵墙没有回应。他是一个犯困的时候会睡觉的人,所以这次他可能又睡着了。我必须自己找到出路。
[You can’t use Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint in this location.] [You can’t use Bookmark in this location.]
[您不能在此位置使用全知读者的视点][您不能在此位置使用书签]
All my available skills were blocked. I couldn’t see the end of the library no matter how far I walked. I couldn’t see the exit as I looked to the north, south, east and west. I became convinced that I couldn’t escape and felt a drug-like comfort.
我所有的技能都被封锁了。无论我走多远,我都看不到图书馆的尽头。当我向北、向南、向东和向西看的时候,我看不到出口。我开始确信自己无法逃脱,并感受到一种药物般的安慰。
“…Heaven.”
“...天堂。”
Everywhere I looked was Ways of Survival. It was a world full of Ways of Survival. I might’ve been happy if I came here before the scenario started. It was a story that would never end no matter how much I read. I wouldn’t go hungry because I was just a soul.
我看到的所有地方都是《生存之道》。这是一个充满生存之道的世界。如果我在剧情开始之前来到这里,我可能会感到高兴。不管我读多少,这个故事永远不会结束。我不会挨饿,因为我只是一个灵魂。
…There was no way for me to go out so I should read more books. I didn’t know. There could be a way in the book.
我没有办法出去,所以我应该多读些书。我不知道。这本书里可能有一个方法。
I pulled the books out of the shelves, stacked them next to each other and started reading them. I looked for a while and once again realized that Ways of Survival was Ways of Survival.
我把书从书架上拿下来,一本一本地堆在一起,然后开始阅读。我找了一会儿,又一次意识到生存之道就是生存之道。
“…There are too many explanations.”
“......解释太多了。”
The surroundings were quiet so the speed at which I read the book was faster than usual. However, I didn’t read it roughly. Like a gourmet long starved of meat, I cut every sentence into pieces and relished them.
周围很安静,所以我读这本书的速度比平时快。然而,我并没有粗略地读过它。就像一个长期饥饿的美食家,我把每句话都切成小块,津津有味地品尝着。
“That jerk, he was cute at this time.”
“那个混蛋,他当时很可爱。”
“…Damn, I should’ve killed him a bit more in the beginning.”
“...该死,我一开始就应该多杀他一点。”
Some of the stories were already known and some weren’t.
有些故事已经为人所知,有些则不然。
“This information was forgotten…”
“这些信息被遗忘了......”
“What? There was something like this?”
“什么?有这样的东西吗?”
There was no one in this place and I naturally spoke to myself. I wasn’t conscious about any listeners. Thus, I read a few more books. There was a sense of pride in my heart and warmth rose.
这个地方一个人也没有,我自然对自己说。我没有意识到听众的存在。于是,我又多读了几本书。我心里有一种骄傲的感觉,温暖升起来了。
Suddenly, I felt weak. Why didn’t I just give up and stay here? It wouldn’t be too bad if I never woke up from here. There was no scenario here to kill me.
突然,我感到虚弱。为什么我不干脆放弃,留在这里?如果我再也不能从这里醒来也不会太糟糕。这里没有杀死我的情节。
I didn’t need to see the constellations. After reading a number of books, I ran past some bookshelves, reading those in the middle.
我不需要看星座。看了几本书之后,我跑过几个书架,看了看中间的那些书。
「 Yoo Jonghyuk sometimes thought this. 」
“柳永玉有时会这样想。”
「 ‘If I hadn’t met that guy on the bridge, what would’ve happened? Or if I had killed him there… what would’ve happened to my remaining life?’ 」
“如果我没有在桥上遇到那个人,会发生什么事?”?或者如果我在那里杀了他......我的余生会发生什么?”
I saw the familiar phrases and reflexively looked at the title of the book.
我看到那些熟悉的短语,条件反射地看了看书名。
[Yoo Jonghyuk, 12th record of the 3rd round.]
[柳永玉,第三轮第12个记录]
…As expected, it was the third round. I opened a few more books Some of them were written about me.
