The Main Characters That Only I Know

Epilogue 1

A void space where nothing exists.

In that chaotic space where all kinds of bizarre colors were mixed and confused, a being was gasping for breath.

[This can’t be, this can’t be. This can’t be happening.]

A presence that far surpassed an ordinary human.

This being, who once was one of the kings of stories in the Mixed Realm, had a terrifying story that matched a planet in itself.

[How could I. I, who was called the King of Tragedy and stood above all tellers, how could I be in such a…]

Catharsis, the King of Tragedy.

He was the pope who led Exodus, one of the four teller organizations in the Mixed Realm.

His glory was gone and he was in a horrible state.

His splendid mantle had disappeared and his robe was torn everywhere.

His bones, which were exposed through the torn clothes, were broken or cracked in places, and the text that composed Catharsis was scattering like smoke through his wounds.

He was the king of stories who had power equal to or greater than the first-generation Divine Spirits, and therefore there were only a few beings in the Mixed Realm who could endanger him physically.

“What do you mean it doesn’t make sense?”

Catharsis raised his dreadful skull face at the voice that came from the air.

His empty eyes stared at the sky.

At that moment, the space of darkness and chaos split left and right, and light poured down like a waterfall.

And in the center of it, a man slowly descended with his back to the light.

[You, this bastard…]

Catharsis glared at his opponent who stopped in front of him with a voice full of anger.

A blue flame of hatred flickered inside his black pupils.

“You look very pathetic for someone who used to be called the king of stories.”

[Who do you think made me like this? You insolent human!]

The man in front of him.

He was wearing a black suit and smiling leisurely as he looked at him.

He was nothing but a mediocre teller whom he didn’t even care about in the past.

No, even before that, he was a human who was nothing but a toy for the Divine Spirits.

“It sounds like it’s all my fault.”

The human, Kang Yu-hyun, shook his head as if he couldn’t believe it.

“From the beginning, this is all your own doing. Why can’t you admit it?”

[I’ll shut up! You usurped your father’s seat! That seat is not yours!]

“That’s right. And it wasn’t yours either.”

Yu-hyun calmly admitted Catharsis’ words.

The seat he was sitting on now was once the seat of Logos, the tuner of the world.

But Logos died, and the seat went to Yu-hyun.

He was the liberator and savior of the world who defeated Logos.

Catharsis didn’t like that.

No, he couldn’t believe this situation at all.

As if he noticed Catharsis’ feelings.

Yu-hyun chuckled.

“You always longed for tragedy and cried out loud. But when you actually stood in that position, you blamed others and screamed. It’s funny to see you act so miserably. The name King of Tragedy suits you well.”

[Shut up!]

“And you kept running away everywhere. Even though I’m me, I had a lot of trouble chasing you.”

Yu-hyun said that and looked around.

There are countless spaces in one universe.

Not just planets and planets, dimensions and dimensions.

The things that were thrown away in those gaps. Or forgotten spaces by others.

He had been here once when he fully realized Apotheosis’ power long ago.

“I didn’t expect you to dig such a rabbit hole. You must have wanted to live so badly. Even though you became such a pathetic state.”

[…….]

Catharsis couldn’t refute Yu-hyun’s words.

It was undeniable that he ran away because he wanted to live.

Yu-hyun was no longer the insignificant teller he used to look down on.

He had become a being who ruled this world with power beyond God.

He would lose if he fought head-on.

And if he asked if there was another way to defeat him, it wasn’t either.

“It’s over now that we’re here. Just give up gracefully.”

[Me, over?]

“Why are you acting like a rookie? You know everything. At least Damcheon didn’t act as ugly as you.”

Catharsis trembled violently when Damcheon’s name came up.

He had such a huge presence that even the space shook with his reaction.

“Your brother Damcheon also raised his flag against me and inherited Logos’ will. But at least he died smiling.”

Unlike Catharsis, Damcheon existed purely for ‘fun’.

He smiled and met his end by Yu-hyun’s hand.

He was the leader of the comedy troupe that shook the world, and he met his doom by the hand of a human who was nothing.

There was no more ‘comedy’ in this world that was more ironic than that.

So Damcheon smiled.

He shouted that it was the best death for him.

“Then shouldn’t you at least meet a death that is not shameful to your brother’s name?”

Yu-hyun said that and took his hand out of his pocket and crossed his arms.

And then he showed a blatant smile of contempt.

“Well. It seems like it’s too late to say that, seeing how you look.”

[You bastard!]

Catharsis exploded at Yu-hyun’s repeated provocations.

Catharsis clasped his hands and prayed.

There was no one to pray to anymore, but he had no choice but to do so.

Because he had nothing else to do.

But that didn’t mean he could be underestimated.

A huge surge of power that could erase a world came out of Catharsis and attacked Yu-hyun.

“You’ve gotten weaker.”

But even that seemed like a breeze in early summer to Yu-hyun, who had seen it all.

Yu-hyun stretched out his right hand forward.

The blow that Catharsis had put all his strength into split left and right and passed by Yu-hyun.

Yu-hyun clenched his right hand.

Crack!

[Aaargh!]

Catharsis’ body was compressed as if it was caught by something huge.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As Yu-hyun put strength into his fist, Catharsis’ body began to shrink.

“You will not become a story of this world even after you die. Catharsis.”

[No! No! Save me! Please! I can’t, I can’t go like this!]

“All the despair you’ve sown, and more. All the stories that made you up will be thrown away in the cracks of this world. And no one will remember you as you wander around here. In a place where you can’t even be heaven or hell.”

[No! I am, the King of Tragedy! The king of stories created by Logos! I can’t die in a place like this!]

Catharsis, who faced the annihilation of his existence beyond death, struggled with all his might, but that did not make him any stronger.

“Goodbye.”

With Yu-hyun’s final farewell,

Crunch.

Catharsis’s body was completely compressed and soon turned into countless dust.

Yu-hyun silently watched it and then brushed off the text as if to get rid of it.

It was a too pathetic end for the one who was called the King of Tragedy.

[Are you satisfied now?]

Yu-hyun was not surprised by the sudden voice.

After all, he was the one who brought this being here.

When Yu-hyun turned his head, he saw Lotfiut wearing a white plaster mask and holding a cane.

“I’m thinking about it.”

[What do you mean?]

“What to do with you.”

[…]

Despite Yu-hyun’s blatant words, Lotfiut did not show any signs of emotional disturbance.

He used to be the president of a higher position than Yu-hyun, but not anymore.

Lotfiut decided to just adapt to this situation.

[As you wish.]

“Back then, when I left Celestial Corporation.”

[…]

“You didn’t try to collect my library, even though you could have.”

[I just didn’t feel the need to.]

“But that’s strange. In the end, that library became the decisive factor that allowed Satan to broadcast and reveal the hidden truth of this world.”

And more importantly, the decisive moment was when Yu-hyun first became a teller and met Satan.

Satan said he was invited by Celestial Corporation, but there was no way he would sneak into the space where the new tellers were alone, avoiding everyone’s eyes.

“From the beginning, that was your intention.”

[I don’t know what you are talking about.]

But even with Yu-hyun’s words, Lotfiut shook his head and insisted that he didn’t know.

Yu-hyun silently stared at Lotfiut and then turned his back.

“Two of the five Kings of Stories are dead.”

[Yes.]

“It would be too much to kill three more. The world would have too many empty spaces.”

He knew that he was saying that he forgave him in a roundabout way.

Lotfiut just nodded quietly.

“Do your duty. Not as a president who leads a company, but as a librarian who collects the stories of the world.”

[As you command. The Tuner of Infinite Library.]

Infinite Library.

The Codex, a book written by Logos, became a library of countless stories of beings.

From the end of the universe that repeated in the distant past to the present now.

A library full of books that contained all those processes.

That was the current universe, Infinite Library.

A world made up of countless stories, not a single book created by Logos.

“I’m done with my work. I got rid of Damcheon and Catharsis, the remnants of Logos.”

[Where are you going now?]

“I have something else to do.”

[Didn’t you finish all the aftermath of the war?]

Lotfiut couldn’t understand what he said and asked him back.

Yu-hyun chuckled and looked back at him.

“Yes. I finished everything.”

[Then where do you have to go?]

“A wedding.”

[What?]

Even Lotfiut, who always maintained his calmness, couldn’t help but ask stupidly this time.

***

Actually, he said it was a wedding, but he didn’t say whose wedding it was.

And of course, it wasn’t Yu-hyun’s wedding.

To be precise, it was someone else’s, no, another being’s wedding.

“It’s awkward.”

The owner of Guardian, who became a dignified Divine Spirit now, fiddled with his perfectly fitting tuxedo and moved his body uncomfortably.

The main character of today’s wedding was him, but he still couldn’t tell if this was a dream or reality.

“What are you worrying about already?”

Ringug, who was watching him from beside him, said with a playful voice.

“It’s a good day, right? Then you should smile and be happy.”

“That’s true but…”

He was definitely happy.

There was a time when he had fallen into despair so much that he couldn’t even imagine himself becoming like this.

When he thought about the time when he had to live a cursed life forever on that frozen planet.

The current reality was definitely an ideal thing that he couldn’t even hope for in his dreams.

That’s why he was worried.

Could he really continue this happiness?

“Hey, Lean!”

At that moment, a loud voice hit his back of his head.

When Lean turned around, he saw a handsome man with white hair standing there with him.

Wearing the same groom outfit as him.

“Frechen.”

“Don’t you call me emperor anymore?”

“And you don’t treat me as a god.”

“That’s true. Haha! The world has changed a lot while I was dead!”

The man who was the last bloodline of the ruined empire and who had fought the final battle to save the frozen world.

On the day the war ended.

The man who came back to life from death faced Lean with his usual confident attitude.

“Why are you making such a gloomy face? Cheer up! It’s not like you’re the only one doing this.”

“That’s true.”

This wedding was actually a joint wedding.

And the main characters were not only Lean but also Frechen.

Lean felt awkward every time he saw Frechen, who had died once.

So he asked him without knowing.

“Frechen. How does it feel to come back to life?”

“Huh? You’re asking something weird. Well, even if you’re Lean, you can’t help it if you’re nervous.”

Frechen laughed out loud and didn’t hesitate to answer.

“Well, when I first died, it was a strange feeling. I felt the strength leaving my body and I thought it was finally over. But after that, I had a good dream.”

“A good dream?”

“I met the girl I love and walked with her to the promised land. No. Maybe it wasn’t a dream.”

Frechen still looked at his right hand that had held her hand as if it was vivid.

What he experienced was definitely the world beyond death.

It was definitely a happy thing.

“But still, coming back to life is the best. After all, you need this kind of sensation.”

“Is that so?”

Frechen’s words were too light, but Lean felt comforted by his actions.

“The main characters of today are here.”

At that moment, the air split and a man appeared.

It was Yu-hyun.
