Chapter 420: His Story

Im Da-in, just a normal, everywhere college student.

And here I was, facing the biggest crisis of my 20+ year life.

Wait, so

A room of pure white, white everywhere.

There, I stood with my head in my hands in front of a mysterious blonde woman dressed in a white robe that could only have been worn in ancient Greece.

To recap. This is the world of the manga Ive been reading, Stardust! And you want me to save it?

Yep. To summarize, yes.

Ha I see.

The woman said that to me with such a warm voiceI just sighed in disbelief.

Until yesterday, I was lying in my dorm room, sleeping through a normal day.

And then I woke up and found myself lying in this strange space.

And this is what I was told by this beautiful woman who approached me.

This world is the world of the hero manga I read, Stardust! This woman is Star God.

To be precise.

I have scattered the story of this world in various forms in other worlds, for those who will save it.

Apparently, the manga I read in the first place is a true story, and it was simply created by the Star God to find a savior in another world. It was packaged and scattered all over the world in the form of manga, movies, anime, novels, etc.

And

The most suitable savior was found in the other world.

Why is that me?

Its me.

It was all so ridiculous. Me? Im just a normal college student you see everywhere. Im just going through the motions, living a normal life. What the hell am I? There are many people who are better experts on this manga than me.

Even the way I got into this manga was because a fellow manga fan recommended it to me, and for the most mundane of reasons: the heroine was pretty.She stopped reading it because the plot became too exhausting, but I stuck with it.

Anyway, thats not the point.

That. No matter how much I think about it, I dont think its for me, and I dont want to do it.

I immediately refused.

Reincarnation in another world, my junior seemed to like that stuff I hated it. I mean, I havent even finished enjoying the current world yet. What about my parents and friends? Even he stopped talking about it after he joined our club and got to know me.

Whats it like in Stardust? Isnt it a crazy world where villains go on a rampage every day and people die, and in the end, everyone dies except the main character? I dont know how I could survive here as a normal person.

Thats what I said.

The Star God shook her head with a sad smile.

Im sorry, but I cant return you to your world.

What?

Well, technically, theres no way to return you. Its a one-way street, but but there is no way to return you to your original world.

Hearing that, my face went completely blank.

What? I cant go back?

SoYou kidnap a person, throw them into this crazy world, and now Im supposed to save it on my own? Without any powers?

Ill give you powers. Teleportation, telekinesis. Two powers.

With some risk, of course.

With that, the self-proclaimed Star Gods next words were a blur.

Telekinesis and teleportation are also abilities that are hard to survive with, given the broken power balance in the latter half of the game, and even worse, the more you use them, the shorter your physical lifespan will be.

To summarize.

You kidnap a perfectly good person to a dying world without their consent, give them no way back, and give them knowledge of the future and abilities that eat away at their lifespan. Theyre supposed to save this world from destruction on their own?

After hearing those words, I finally had enough and exploded.

No, are you kidding me? What are you doing?

Im sorry, but this is the only way to do it.

As I stiffened and spoke in anger, she explained with an apologetic look on her face.

Actually. This world was destroyed once, just as you read in the story. But I, the God of Time, used all my power to rewind the worlds time once, and I knew that the power of this world alone would not be enough to stop Helios, the God of Creation I had no choice but to create an external variable in another world.

So this is my last chance. Because of that, I dont have the power to give you something better but please.

No. Then youll just have to find someone else you dont like. Why kidnap a well-to-do person to!

Kuluk. Im sorry, but I dont have much time. Please, remember what I told you and save the world. Its my child

Why would I want your child? Wait, hey!!! Youre crazy

Just like that, the Star Gods words ended, as my vision faded.

I was forced into this world.

I lost everything I had built up to this point, and became a nameless character in a cartoon world.

That was my beginning in this goddamn world.

Just like that.

After Egostic left Star God watched wordlessly, then slumped back in his seat and began coughing.

Kulk, kulk. Ugh

Black blood dripped from her mouth.

Wiping it away, the Star God muttered to herself.

Yeah. Still, Da-in will be fine.

Actually, he just didnt know that there was a lie in what Star God said.

She said the original story really happened and this is the second world shes traveled back in time to.

Actually, this was the third world, because Da-in had already failed once.

. .! Wake up you! quickly Sis Do it

IcantIcantdoanythingwithmystrength.

Kulukdo.

.Even without mePlease

Where did he go wrong?

He had tried his best, but in the end, he had failed.

Therefore, she risked her existence to turn back time once more to save this world, this time for good.

Even though.

Unlike the last time, her power was not enough.

Her abilities, unlike the last time, were much lower. She could only give him things that were dangerous.

even to stay alive long enough to talk to him. She couldnt say much more.

It was for the best, her best.

In truth, she knew how selfish she had been to Da-in, how unworthy of him.

And, from what shed learned in the last installment she knew that his sacrifice, his embrace of her power, was indispensable to saving the world.

Maybe thats why she didnt say that.

Senior, hmph, no Are you okay?

Ah No. Why!!! Wake up, senior. Senior. Senior!!!

In fact, he had already died in the original world.

She just deliberately erased his memories In fact, she may as well have given him another life but she didnt bother to mention that.

Because, according to the last installment.it was better to blame her for thinking he was alive and well and had been kidnapped, than to be depressed over his own death.

Of course, his depression wont go away for a while.

Still, hes Da-in.

Hes a good person, after all.

She, the Goddess of the Stars, has spent countless years searching the world, and he is a hero worthy of this world.

Even if he does have a bit of a problem with womenso much so that hes seduced her own daughter.

But he was the only one who could win over people, convince them to come together, and unite the world.

Especially since he was already dead, it was easy to bring him to this world. Im not sure if theres an administrator of that world, but I could just take his soul without negotiating.

I see But still, it didnt work last time.

Helios is clearly awakened, unlike the first time.

She realized that the only thing that could stand against him was the power of her abyss.

She had sacrificed her own existence to give him her powers, and now, with the aftermath of the massive time regression, she had lost virtually all of her powers and was reduced to nothing but her thoughts.

The only way was to turn back time so that he would forget, even the Sun God, was to start from the beginning.

Da-in.

Please, save this world.

With that thought, she closed her eyes to keep her sanity.

At least until her daughter came back for her.

***

Two years have passed since I fell into this damned world.

Ah Shit. Life. Fuck

~Broad daylight, an alley~

I was there, holding a bottle of soju, staggering alone down the corner alley with a red face.

Its been two years since the mad god kidnapped me and threw me into this world.

Homesick, longing for my parents, thinking of friends I miss To be precise, a crazy god threw me into 21st century South Korea with no ID and superpowers. I had a really hard time. I had no place to sleep, so I slept under a bridge.

I rolled with it and used my knowledge of the original to figure out how to get a fake identity and make money.

But then, a crippling depression hit me, and I didnt want to do anything.

Shit. What the hell am I supposed to do with teleportation that makes me puke when I move and telekinesis that makes my guts out?

What the hell am I going to do about the HanEun Group, the Moonlight Church, the Great Jailbreak, the Sun God AttackWhat am I going to do to stop it? Ive been taking classes in college.

Im just waiting for the day I die.

I was practically living on the edge of death.

I dont have much motivation, and I dont see whats so beautiful about this damn world. I didnt even want to see the original characters. They all sucked.

Eh, life

Thats when I was walking down the street thinking about it.

Suddenly, the wall of the alley next to me exploded.

Kuck

With the recoil, I immediately hit the other wall and collapsed.

The sake bottle shattered, blood flowing from my head and my limbs were broken in at least a few places.

When I was groaning, ahead of me, I heard a hissing sound.

Kerrrrrrrrrrr

I opened my eyes to the strange sound and saw a green-skinned reptilian human.

It was the A-class villain, Reptile. Haha, Ive read the original so many times, it pops right out at me. A maniac whose main food source is humans.

He shook his head and clucked his tongue, then smiled at me as I fell to the ground, and then ran at me as fast as he could.

I closed my eyes, smiled bloodily, and bowed my head.

Yeah. Fuck saving the world.

I guess Im just destined to die without seeing the end of the world and being captured by a roadside extra villain.

Im not sorry. Its just funny.

Yeah. Lets just die now. Whats the point of living?

Thats when I closed my eyes and gave up without even teleporting.

Koooooooooooowwww

Suddenly, I heard the roar again, and I realized that it was the scream of a monster.

What is it?

At that thought, I raised my head.

Standing there, was a beautiful woman in a suit with flowing blonde hair.

The woman I knew better than anyone.

My favorite character in fiction, until I fell into this world, the heroine of this world Stardus stood before me.

.

I watched her, faintly, through the blood rushing to my eyes.

Ah yes. By now, she should have made her debut as a novice hero.

Perhaps she was an A-class hero by this time.

As I idly thought about that.Stardus, who had been standing there with a nervous look on her face, turned toward Reptile, who had flown away from her attack and was now flying away from her.

WaitAah!!!

Before she saw me, slumped against the wall.

Hey, are you okay?

She rushed over to me.

She was still a rookie hero, unlike the seasoned, always-tired version of herself. Clumsymore innocent.

I shook my head, and opened my mouth to speak.

I cant move, but thats okay, shouldnt you go after that villain first?

What? Oh, no, people come first, and if you cant move, I can fly you to the nearest hospital

even though she never saw me before her genuine concern for me, her desire to help in any way she could.

I thought to myself, Im sure shes right.

Ah. I did.

Thats why I liked her.

I liked her because she was selfless in a way that I dont see in the real world.

..While I was thinking that I came to his senses, shook my head once more, and said.

No, Im not that hurt, but Im going to call the AssociationId like you to take down that villain first, because Im sure therell be more casualties if you let him go, and Im perfectly fine.

Ugh Okay, then If anything happens, please shout loudly!

Haha, okay.

Okay. Then Ill go first!

With those words, she flew off, glancing back at me.

I bowed my head again with a forced smile.

And then, I realized that was the first smile Id ever smiled since I fell into this world.

..haha.

Yeah. In this world, Stardus is real.

As I stared at that, I thought to myself.

If this is real. If this is the future where everything I saw in the original story will come true.

That means Stardus, who seemed so innocent and good, will continue to suffer.

I dont really want to see that.

Ha.

Yeah.

Maybe you only live once.

I was going to die anyway.

Not for the god of the damned stars.

For her, who is infinitely good, it wouldnt hurt to give it a shot.

For her, who was once my favorite. For a world where good people can be happy.

For this life, it wouldnt be so bad to live for Stardus.

I used to think that.

It was the first goal I had in this world.
