Shin Yu-Seung opened her eyes because of the bright spotlight - lights that danced in the air. One of the flying drones circled around her head once, before disappearing into the distant black sky.
申玉升睁开了她的眼睛，因为明亮的聚光灯在空气中跳舞。一架飞行的无人机绕着她的头盘旋了一圈，然后消失在遥远的黑色天空中。
"Urgh, my head…."
“呃，我的头......”
Under the head-spinning dizzy spell, she staggered unsteadily back to her feet. The only things she could see around her were scrap metal and rubbish. She couldn't see any of the companions she was with.
她头晕目眩，摇摇晃晃地站了起来。她唯一能看到的东西就是废金属和垃圾。她看不见和她在一起的任何一个同伴。
….Could she have landed in this place all alone?
她会不会一个人来到这里？
"Shin Yu-Seung?"
“申玉升?”
A boy pushed his head out from among the scrap metal like some kind of a baby octopus.
一个男孩从废金属中探出头来，就像一只小章鱼。
"Yi Gil-Yeong?"
“李吉英?”
Feeling happy now, she shifted her gaze over there, but then, the figure of woman leapt out from the piles of rubbish while stepping on the boy's head.
现在她感到很高兴，她把目光移到那边，但是，那个女人的身影从垃圾堆里跳了出来，同时踩在了男孩的头上。
"Get out of the way! You stink, you know!"
“让开!你臭死了，你知道吗!”
"Ji-Hye unni!"
“智慧姐姐!”
She figured out who came along with her. Her companions brushed away all the trash stuck on their bodies and stood upright.
她知道是谁跟她一起来的。她的同伴们把粘在他们身上的所有垃圾刷掉，站直了身子。
"What's this? Is it just us?"
“这是什么?只有我们吗?”
"I think so."
“我想是的。”
"Heh, it's the reformation of Busan Alliance."
“嘿，这是釜山联盟的改革。”
Yi Ji-Hye spoke with a slightly excited tone of voice, but Shin Yu-Seung was different.
易智慧说话的声调略显兴奋，但申玉升却不一样。
Why did it have to be Ji-Hye and Gil-Yeong? She alternated her gaze between her two companions and made a resolution in her mind.
为什么一定要是智慧和吉英？她的目光在两个同伴之间交替，心里下了一个决心。
'I'm the only adult here. So, I gotta stay sharp.'
我是这里唯一的成年人，所以我必须保持警惕
Whether they knew her thoughts or not, Yi Ji-Hye and Gil-Yeong continued their glaring contest, only to suddenly delve straight into deciding the pecking order.
不管他们是否知道她的想法，易智慧和吉英继续他们耀眼的争论，只是突然直接钻到决定等级的地方。
"Hm, hm. Hey, kids. We should choose the leader first, like how we've done so far, right?"
“嗯，嗯。嘿，孩子们。我们应该首先选择领导者，就像我们迄今为止所做的那样，对吗?”
"Noona, you were the leader back in Busan Alliance. So, it's my turn now."
“诺娜，你是釜山联盟的领袖，现在轮到我了。”
"Hey, you. You weren't even born yet when I got admitted to the kindergarten, you know."
“嘿，你知道吗，我进幼儿园的时候你还没出生呢。”
"Ah? What's that got to do with anything?!"
“啊?这有什么关系?!”
"Shh. Both of you, keep quiet!"
“嘘，你们两个，安静点!”
The moment Shin Yu-Seung's voice was heard, all three of them pressed themselves tightly against a nearby wall in unison. A millisecond later, a drone flying around like some sort of an insect shone a spotlight on the alleyway they were standing in just now.
当申玉升的声音被听到的时候，他们三个人异口同声地紧紧地贴在附近的墙上。一毫秒之后，一架无人驾驶飞机像某种昆虫一样飞来飞去，将聚光灯照在他们刚才所站的小巷上。
Giiiiii-iiing….
滑雪..。
The drone hovered in position for a little while, and eventually, it disappeared beyond the alleyway, its sensors tilting this way and that.
无人机在原地盘旋了一会儿，最终消失在巷子外面，传感器向这边或那边倾斜。
Yi Ji-Hye asked in a tense voice. "Hey, wasn't that a drone?"
易智慧用紧张的声音问道:“嘿，那不是无人机吗?”
It was right then, the system messages could be heard from the sky.
就在那时，系统的信息可以从天空中听到。
[Someone has interfered with the scenario system.]
[有人干扰了方案系统。]
[Due to the unprecedented power, you have been forcibly summoned to the Main Island's 'Next City'!] ['Next City' is currently cut off from the space-time of the conflict region of the 'Great War of Saints and Demons'.] [You can advance to the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' once you solve the sub-scenario of the applicable location.] "Next City " Gil-Yeong's eyes began sparkling. "Let's go and take a look!"
[由于前所未有的力量，你被强行召唤到主岛的下一个城市!][“下一个城市”目前与“圣魔大战”冲突地区的时空隔绝。][一旦你解决了适用场所的子场景，你就可以进入“圣恶大战”了。]“下一个城市 ”吉英的眼睛开始闪闪发光。“我们去看看吧!”
"Stop being childish, Yi Gil-Yeong. This isn't a game!"
“别孩子气了，李吉英，这不是游戏!”
Despite Shin Yu-Seung's warning, the boy broke into a sprint. Fortunately, there was no drone nearby, and the spot they were hiding in was situated in a surprisingly high altitude.
尽管申玉升发出警告，男孩还是开始了冲刺。幸运的是，附近没有无人机，而且他们藏身的地方海拔高得惊人。
"Wow, this…."
“哇，这个......”
They were treated to a magnificent sight where the whole city could be seen in one take. Bright neon signs illuminating the night streets; androids emitting blue light beams from their heads, roaming around said streets as if putting on a protest march.
他们看到了一幅壮观的景象，整个城市一览无余。明亮的霓虹灯照亮了夜晚的街道;机器人从他们的头上发出蓝色的光束，漫步在街道上，仿佛在进行抗议游行。
They could immediately tell what the worldview here was from this spectacle.
他们可以立刻从这个奇观中看出这里的世界观是什么。
Yi Gil-Yeong spoke confidently. "I'm gonna get super strong in this place and surprise Dok-Ja hyung later."
李吉英自信地说:“我要在这里变得超级强壮，然后给杜加亨一个惊喜。”
"He'll get even mooore surprised if you get killed here, instead."
“如果你在这里被杀，他甚至会感到惊讶。”
"….Noona, why do you hate me so much "
“诺娜，你为什么这么恨我?”
Disregarding the bickering duo, for now, Shin Yu-Seung carefully observed the panoramic view of the city below.
不管争吵的二人，现在，申玉升仔细观察了城市的全景。
If one were to discount the slight disturbance created by the protest, it looked as if the city was functioning systematically according to a set of strict rules. This was a sci-fi worldview retaining a level of social order previously unheard of.
如果不考虑抗议造成的轻微骚乱，这座城市似乎是按照一套严格的规则系统运作的。这是一种科幻的世界观，保持着一种前所未闻的社会秩序。
She remembered hearing that the 'Isle of Reincarnators' were graves of fading Fables. If so, why did a world like this one meet its doom?
她记得听说过“转世岛”是渐渐消逝的寓言的坟墓。如果是这样的话，为什么这样的世界会灭亡呢？
In the meantime, Yi Ji-Hye and Gil-Yeong were excitedly yapping away, without any care given for Shin Yu-Seung's concerns.
与此同时，YiJi-Hye和Gil-Yeong兴奋地大喊大叫，丝毫不理会ShinYu-Seung的担忧。
"Will they have stuff like a lightsabre here?"
“这里会有光剑之类的东西吗?”
"What a helpless sword otaku…."
“多么无助的御宅剑......”
"Shut up."
“闭嘴。”
"Uh? Wait, I think they are really equipped with something like lightsabres."
“呃?等等，我觉得他们真的装备了光剑之类的东西。”
"Really? Where?"
“真的吗?在哪儿?”
They could see the guards patrolling the city sauntering closer to their location. Maybe because of the worldview's effects, information windows of the guards floated up in front of their eyes after they took a closer look.
他们可以看到巡逻城市的警卫在离他们的位置更近的地方闲逛。也许是由于世界观的影响，警卫们仔细观察后，信息窗口浮现在他们的眼前。
[Lv. 12 Guard-type Android]
[ Lv. 12 Guard-type Android ]
[The applicable unit is around 4 times stronger than you.]
[适用的单位大约比你强4倍。]
Yi Ji-Hye freaked out and muttered out loudly. "What the hell? Why are they so strong?"
易智慧吓坏了，大声地咕哝道:“怎么回事?为什么这么强壮?”
"I think it's us who got weak."
“我认为是我们变得软弱了。”
For sure, the density of the magical energy in the surroundings had decreased noticeably ever since they arrived in this worldview.
可以肯定的是，自从他们来到这个世界，周围的魔法能量密度已经明显减少了。
[Your main Stats have been reverted back to their initial values in the applicable worldview.] [This worldview is subjected to the corrective effect of 'Level System'.]
[在适用的世界观中，你的主要统计数据已经恢复到它们最初的价值。][这种世界观受制于‘等级制度’的纠正效果。]
"God damn it, they are coming this way!"
“该死的，他们朝这边来了!”
When did they realise it? Guards were suddenly rushing towards the group's position. They looked up at the sky only to discover several drones circling above their heads.
他们什么时候意识到的？卫兵们突然冲向该组织的阵地。他们抬头仰望天空，却发现有几架无人机在他们头顶盘旋。
[Reaction to Fable energy detected!]
[检测到神鬼能量的反应!]
[Reaction to Fable energy detected!]
[检测到神鬼能量的反应!]
Along with the loud warning sounds, the guards increased their speed by engaging the boosters mounted on their backs and pounced on the group in a row. Yi Ji-Hye, Shin Yu-Seung, and Gil-Yeong hurriedly pulled out their individual weapons.
伴随着巨大的警告声，警卫们加快了他们的速度，他们与背上的助推器交火，然后一个接一个地扑向这群人。YiJi-Hye，ShinYu-Seung，和Gil-Yeong赶紧掏出他们各自的武器。
"Screw it, there aren't even any bugs here….. Hey, Shin Yu-Seung, can you summon the Chimera Dragon?"
“去他的，这里连虫子都没有......嘿，申玉升，你能召唤奇美拉龙吗?”
"The cooldown time isn't over yet."
“冷却时间还没有结束。”
[Your current level is 1.]
[你现在的水平是1。]
[Earn experience points by hunting low-level enemies.]
[通过猎杀低级别的敌人获得经验点]
With a deeply agonised look on her face, Yi Ji-Hye unsheathed her longsword. She was the only one specialised in close-quarter battles among her group.
伊姬惠脸上带着极度痛苦的表情，拔出了长剑。她是团队中唯一擅长近距离战斗的人。
Quickly activating [Demon Slaying] and [Ghost Walk], she faced off against a guard in order to protect the kids. Just as the android's lightsabre collided with her longsword….
迅速激活[杀死恶魔]和[鬼步]，她面对一个守卫，以保护孩子们。就在机器人的光剑和她的长剑相撞的时候..。
Giiii-iiing!
开始了！
The lightsabre simply let her blade slide by and proceeded to cut her forearm.
光剑只是让她的刀刃滑过，然后继续割伤她的前臂。
"Aaaahk!"
“啊哈!”
[Android 'Yi Ji-Hye' has been seriously injured!]
[机器人‘YiJi-Hye’已经严重受伤!]
[Please administer Fable energy to preserve your life.]
[请使用寓言能量来保护你的生命。]
She backed away quickly, but it was already too late by then.
她迅速后退，但那时已经太晚了。
"Get out of the way!"
“让开!”
Shin Yu-Seung pushed Yi Ji-Hye aside and stepped forward. The latter's complexion paled instantly and cried out towards the former; Gil-Yeong stretched his arms out, too.
申玉成把易智慧推到一边，走上前去。后者的脸色立刻变得苍白，朝前者大叫起来，吉英也伸出了双臂。
Unfortunately, the lightsabre was already descending towards the crown of her head.
不幸的是，光剑已经降落到她的头顶。
'Ahjussi.'
大叔
At that moment, the girl looked back on her short life. She felt this sense of unfairness, knowing that it'd be over in a place like this; yet, at the same time, there was also a sense of satisfaction, too, knowing that her choice was correct.
就在这时，女孩回顾了她短暂的一生。她感觉到这种不公平的感觉，知道在这样的地方一切都会结束;然而，与此同时，也有一种满足感，知道她的选择是正确的。
Shin Yu-Seung thought that this was the final moments befitting the Incarnation of the 'Demon King of Salvation'.
申玉升认为这是适合“救世魔王”道成肉身的最后时刻。
And then, in the next second….
然后，在下一秒..。
[The applicable attack does not work on you.]
[适用的攻击对你不起作用]
Along with the sparks going 'Tsu-chuchuchut!', the guard's lightsabre stopped millimetres away from her nose as if blocked by a formless wall.
伴随着火花，“祖祖祖祖!”守卫的光剑停在离她鼻子几米远的地方，好像被一堵无形的墙挡住了。
"Uh?"
“嗯?”
And new messages popped up in the air one after the other.
新的信息一条接一条地出现在空中。
[Error has occurred in the scenario's system.]
[方案的系统中出现错误。]
[Great Fable, 'Next City', is expressing its puzzlement over the existence of Incarnation 'Shin Yu-Seung'.]
[伟大的寓言，下一个城市，是表达其对存在的化身申玉升的困惑]
It was the exact same story for Yi Gil-Yeong, as well. The lightsabres attacking the kids were all being powered down simultaneously.
对李吉英来说也是一样的故事。攻击孩子们的光剑同时被关掉了。
The boy dazedly looked up at the air and muttered softly to himself.
男孩茫然地抬头望着天空，轻声自言自语。
"….What's going on?"
“怎么回事?”
He could see letters written in the faint grey font on the top right-hand corner of his vision.
他可以看到在他视线的右上角用模糊的灰色字体写的信。
[Current scenario's age restriction is 18+.]
[目前方案的年龄限制是18岁以上]
[Due to the applicable worldview's consideration, murderous actions aimed at children/teenage units are prohibited.]
[由于适用的世界观的考虑，针对儿童/青少年的谋杀行为是被禁止的。]
Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong exchanged glances.
ShinYu-Seung和YiGil-Yeong交换了眼神。
'….Isn't this, like, huge?'
这不是很大吗
It was unknown how they ended up getting summoned here. However, if it was this sort of a worldview, then….
不知道他们是怎么被召唤到这里来的，但是，如果是这种世界观的话，那么..。
Gil-Yeong formed a sneaky grin aimed at Yi Ji-Hye and her wide-open jaw behind him.
吉英鬼鬼祟祟地对着伊智慧咧嘴一笑，她那张开的大嘴在他身后。
"Noona? Get ready for a free bus ride."
“努纳?准备好坐免费巴士吧。”
While watching the boy shove his shortsword into the guard's upper thigh area, Shin Yu-Seung began thinking to herself.
当看到这个男孩用短剑刺入警卫的大腿上部时，申玉升开始自己思考。
'Maybe, remaining as a kid for a bit longer is….'
“也许，作为一个孩子多活一段时间......”
She didn't know what was waiting for her at the end of this scenario. However, she was sure of one thing - at the end of this scenario, they should be strong enough to utterly stun Kim Dok-Ja.
她不知道在这个场景的最后，等待她的是什么。然而，她确信一件事——在这个场景的最后，他们应该足够强大到完全击晕金道子。
*
I was left utterly stunned by the Constellations waiting for me on the other side of the portal. Even at a quick glance, it was well more than one or two here.
我完全被在传送门另一边等着我的星座震惊了。即使只是匆匆一瞥，这里也不止一两处。
….Could it be that they knew we were coming?
会不会是他们知道我们要来？
"Dok-Ja-ssi."
“ Dok-Ja-ssi。”
Yi Hyeon-Seong's voice sounded tense, and I nodded my head at him. Yu Jung-Hyeok, Han Su-Yeong, Yi Hyeon-Seong, and Jeong Hui-Won. Including me, the five of us gathered in one spot like a constellation in the night sky.
李贤成的声音听起来很紧张，我朝他点了点头。余重赫、韩素英、李贤成及郑惠媛。包括我在内，我们五个人聚集在一个地方，就像夜空中的一个星座。
Soon, though, scenario messages floated up in the air.
然而，很快，情景消息在空气中飘浮起来。
[Main Scenario has been updated!]
[主要场景已更新!]
[You and your Nebula have entered the neutral zone of 'Great War of Saints and Demons'!] [You can select either camp of 'Great War of Saints and Demons'!]
[你和你的星云已经进入了“圣魔大战”的中立区!][你可以选择《圣魔大战》中的任何一个阵营!]
Right after those alerts, a notice message dyed the sky in rainbow colours next.
在这些警报之后，紧接着就是一条将天空染成彩虹色的通知信息。
[Nebula, <Kim Dok-Ja Company>, has entered the 'Great War of Saints and Demons'!]
[星云，金道子公司，已经进入了‘圣魔大战’!]
Without a doubt, Dokkaebis must've been behind that. We had just got here, yet they were advertising it all over the place already.
毫无疑问，多卡比斯一定是幕后黑手。我们刚到这里，他们就已经在到处做广告了。
[Many Constellations have noticed your presence!]
[许多星座已经注意到你的存在!]
[Some Nebulas are keeping an eye on your group's next move.]
[一些星云正在密切关注你们小组的下一步行动]
It wasn't an ideal situation, but naught we could do about it, as it was spilt milk. I met the gazes of the Constellations looking at us from the other side. They were emitting pretty hefty Statuses, too.
这不是一个理想的情况，但我们无能为力，因为事情已经无法挽回了。我遇到了从另一边看着我们的星座的凝视。它们也发射出相当巨大的信号。
I even spotted a familiar Constellation among them.
我甚至在他们中间发现了一个熟悉的星座。
[You're late, Descendant.]
