Star of Dawn, the words that Ahn Dain heard through a prophecy.

Hyunmoos words relating me to dawn.

Putting those two together makes it seem like the Star of Dawn is referring to me.

Does Hwang Jiho think its me?

Its plausible, but I couldnt believe it.

Im merely a gamer who played PMH, how could it be me?

Ahn Dain mentioned that the time she met the prophet was when her abilities awakened.

That should be about ten years ago.

Its strange that my existence would be mentioned during that time.

I kept pondering your identity and that game you mention.

It seems like Hwang Jiho is still trying to figure out who I am.

He already knows a lot considering that Eunho came to this world and confirmed the existence of the game PMH.

What more is Hwang Jiho trying to dig?

This is my hypothesis. That PMH game is an elaborate simulation program based on this world and built as a passageway to get here.

Its plausible that PMH was a simulation program.

PMH is an RPG game, but it fosters characters that can be controlled through options throughout the story.

In addition, the replay option in the game that lets the user try a level several times makes it characteristic of a simulation program.

Judging from the fact that I, Eunho, and Gye Idam came to this world when we finished PMH, it could be seen as sort of a passageway.

The game may be a simulation of the future of this world without the star of dawn.

Hwang Jihos hypothesis was quite interesting.

It somehow caught my mind, but Hwang Jiho seemed adamant about his point.

If my hypothesis and the prophecy that Ahn Dain heard were true, it means that someone predicted that a person would come to this world through a simulation program.

Prophecy is done in various ways in this world.

Reading the energy of the heavens through tianji, looking at the movement of stars, dreams, and many others.

People with predictive powers can be counted on both hands, and it wasnt long before a prophet appeared in PMH.

I recalled those prophets who appeared in PMH.

The first one to come to mind was Merlin, Goo Seulbis master and a descendant of a succubus.

Merlin knew that Goo Seulbi would die, and Goo Seulbi did.

All of Merlins predictions came true.

But Merlin never mentioned anything about a star of dawn. So did the other prophets.

He had far fewer appearances than Merlin, but Hyunmoo also had predictive powers.

He never talked about a star of dawn either.

Then who gave Ahn Dain that prophecy?

If Hwang Jihos guess is right, then a prophet much stronger than Merlin and Hyunmoo gave Ahn Dain the prophecy.

So how much did the prophet reveal to Ahn Dain?

Considering Ahn Dains activities in PMH, it doesnt seem like she knew much about what would happen in the future.

If she did, she never wouldve sat on the sidelines and watched the death of Cotton Wool and her best friend Kim Yuri.

If I were the prophet, Id tell Ahn Dain directly the threats that face the future of our world.

Even if useful information was given to her, its questionable whether she would share it.

Despite that, the existence of the prophet still caught my mind.

Should I ask Ahn Dain about it?

I should talk to her about when once I get the chance.

I was lost in thought when I saw Hwang Jiho pouring me another cup.

The information is limited so its merely a hypothesis. Shall we have another cup before the others arrive?

A lot of things were on my mind, but as Hwang Jiho said, I decided to drink tea first.

Halfway through the cup, our classmates started arriving, starting with the dormitory students.

Oh, Euishin and Jiho are early.

As expected, Euishin-ie is so diligent.

I stopped by MITRON on the way Lets have it with some tea.

Thirty minutes before the start of the attendance check, everyone was already in.

Except for the two attention-seekers.

They didnt come What a shame.

Maybe theyll come on picnic day. Those two seem to like the attention.

Today, we have to settle on what to put in our class t-shirt.

The shirts have already been completed, but the phrase to put on it hasnt been decided yet.

Well decide by drawing lots, but one person will write several for Professor Ham and Professor Yong.

Kim Yuri briefly explained the process of determining the phrase before turning on a random lottery application.

Before starting the drawing of lots, Mok Wooram asked something.

Ive been thinking about it, but I still dont know what to write down.

Hmm Just write what you think about our class or anything that you want to say.

Ill show you what we used last spring picnic!

A photo during the spring picnic was projected on the electronic blackboard.

I noticed the phrases written on the shirts.

Go to school on time.

Stonehead Maeng Hyodon.

Suspicious Vice President Jo Euishin.

Violinist Lena.

Always thankful to the talented President Kim Yuri!

Hani Honey Hani.

Stop laughing, Hwang Jiho.

Worried about your flying skills.

Some phrases fitted really well, like Hwang Jihos.

Hmm, so I can write what I usually want to say!

Yeah, that makes it easier.

Mok Wooram and Song Daesok looked carefully at the phrases, nodding in approval.

Something didnt seem right, but we decided to draw the lots first.

Next is Jo Euishin!

We wouldnt know whose shirts well write on until the name gets chosen.

I looked at it with excitement, but it quickly disappeared when I saw the name.

[Hwang Jiho]

Why, of all people, did that old man get chosen

To get Hwang Jiho instead of my amazing and sincere classmates

I had a lot of compliments at hand for my classmates, but I cant use them in the end.

Should I just write stop laughing? No that sounds unoriginal.

I thought about just writing Hahahaha! with no thought, or old man since thats what usually comes to mind when I see him.

After a long thought, I wrote something and submitted it through the device.

After submitting it, I heard Maeng Hyodon and Song Daesok groan.

Sigh, why did I get two?

Me too.

Since Professor Ham Geunhyung and Yong Jegun werent here, two kids had to write for them instead.

But to have the two of them do it

I wasnt doubting my playable characters, but I was a little worried since theyre both overly straightforward.

Alright, lets reveal the professors first!

[Hani -> Professor Ham Geunhyung: Three More People Attending]

Everyone agreed with it.

Although its a bit ambiguous to include the two attention-seekers in the count, I know Professor Ham Geunhyung would be happy with more kids attending school.

The next was Yong Jeguns.

[Dokgo Miro -> Professor Yong Jegun: Ecstatic]

I always imagine that word as a subtitle when Professor Yong Jegun smiles.

Ah, thats right!

Then lets use a photo of Professor Yong Jegun and add a subtitle to it.

After the professors, we decided on the phrases in alphabetical order.

First was Kim Yuris, to be written by Song Daesok.

[Song Daesok -> Kim Yuri: Water summoner]

Daesok-ah

Hahaha! That is true.

Min Geurin gave Song Daesok a disapproving look, but Kim Yuri just laughed it off.

I was worried that Song Daseok would use stronger words, but it turned out all right.

Next was Dokgo Miros

[Maeng Hyodon -> Dokgo Miro: One Hand Hitter]

Your balance looked good when you wielded the morning star with one hand.

I thought hed put something related to being an idol, but it seems like the last battle between Dokgo Miro and Hani created a deeper impression on Maeng Hyodon.

The other kids seemed worried about Dokgo Miros reaction, but the King of Back Alleys seemed okay with it.

Not bad. Its easy dealing with multiple people with one hand.

Eh?

Saeum of April tilted his head at Dokgo Miros words, but the next name and phrase were announced right away.

[Lee Lena -> Maeng Hyodon: Student of the Ascetic]

Professor Tak Geosan when I think about Hyodon so

Its not wrong.

Maeng Hyodon looked at the phrase with a disturbed expression.

Last time it was stone head, now its student

Next was Mok Woorams

[Hwang Jiho -> Mok Wooram: Master of Spiral Wall Climbing]

Ahp, did you see me climbing the wall last time?

Hahahaha!

Why the heck did that old man write that

The other kids seemed pretty surprised by it.

You go on wall-climbing, Wooram-ah?

Yes, I practice occasionally just in case.

The kids told him to be careful not to fall off, and then we moved on.

Next was Min Geurin, written by Mok Wooram.

[Mok Wooram -> Min Geurin: Song Daesok 25 cm]

Ive always thought that when I see you two stand together.

Huh? Its a 25 cm difference? Thats bigger than I thought.

Its not very good, but Mok Wooram at least wrote something normal.

Song Daesok didnt say anything either.

Next was Saeum of Aprils.

[Min Geurin -> Chicken?]

What? What chicken?!

You have a marker of a chicken in your AR glasses, and sometimes when you use a flight skill it reminds me of a chicken

Of all birds, a chicken

Saeum of April has the order from the Chicken Clan which enables him to use a flight skill, and it seems like Min Geurin noticed it.

The phrase was a little

But in any case, Min Geurins wit stood out.

Next was Song Daesok.

[Maeng Hyodon -> Song TB.]

Whats TB?

Tactless bastard.

Hey!

Its overly honest, but its not wrong.

Seeing Min Geurin these days makes me want to say something to him too.

I thought Min Geurin would think its too much, but she seems to agree with it.

It fits Daesok-ie.

In the end, Song Daesok became Song TB.

Next was Kwon Lenas.

[Saeum of April -> Lee Lena: Platinum Violinist.]

Professor Kwon Jeins alias is Blue Violinist. Lenas energy waves are platinum so I thought that would fit her

I really like it! Thank you!

That was the most heartwarming one by far.

Next was mine.

It was our talented class president who wrote it.

[Kim Yuri -> Jo Euishin: Keep being suspicious!><]

I didnt know what to feel about the word suspicious but I decided to humbly accept the phrase that my playable character put.

I should work hard to continue being suspicious from now on.

Now only Hani and Hwang Jiho are left

Song Daesok said he has two names, but only one has come up so far.

It seems like his other person is Hani.

Hani looked at the electronic board with slightly anticipating eyes.

[Song Daesok -> Hani: Be Careful of Diabetes]

Hahahahaha!

Daesok-ah!

Oh, so thats why hes Song TB.

Hwang Jihos loud laughter and Min Geurins disappointment turned the class into a mess.

Hani stared at the board, shocked at the word diabetes

Song Daesok tried to explain, but it only made matters worse.

The incidence of diabetes among young people is high these days so

Ah, Ill announce the next one!

Kim Yuri took care of the situation, hurriedly switching to announce Hwang Jihos phrase.

Though I dont think what I wrote would change the mood.

Before I could say anything, it was already presented on the electronic board.

[Jo Euishin -> Hwang Jiho: .]

An emoticon that Hwang Jiho used exactly once appeared on the board.
