The Editor Is the Novel’s Extra

"I didn't know that one day would come so soon."

Clayo turns his head slowly. The boy stares at Arthur with a dry face as if he had lived a century. without surprise or fear

Even if it is the worst, it gives a faint sense of freedom when what was expected happens. That kind of relief stood in Clayo's manner.

It's the first time in my life, but I feel like Arthur knew this was going to happen.

If you feel so strange and empty, not all things that happen for the first time are good.

"Just tell me everything, Ray. I'm begging you. I just have to ask you to keep faith with me."

Arthur's voice became more and more blurred at the end.

Even though he had lived several lives, the prince of this life was still young, so "Jeongjin" thought he unfairly wielded the composure and coolness of the person who lived relatively long.

Of course, I don't intend to put the tilted scale back into place.

He has a duty and mission, and it is not his duty to tell the main character unnecessary truth. It is also not desirable to expose the identity of his authority.

It is beyond his ability to create a new narrative, but it is also possible for him to pick up and memorize any excuses that are not particular.

"Aah. Just as you and your brothers predict the future in their own ways, I see the future, too. And just as this world is vulnerable to you, to some extent to me. You guessed it.Sipi, I feel the shaking of the world like you... Or it can cause such a crack.”

Arthur nodded his head.

At this time a year ago, I was convinced from the hallway in front of the dean's office, but I never mentioned it.

Clayo was right to cause the shaking of the first circular theater on the day of the sexual scars and the collapse detected in front of the hall of the dean's office.

"Just like your vision, my 'prediction' has been in the past and tells me things that seem to happen again. As you guessed, it was posted in the form of a document, so there was more information than the hallucination you saw. However, it does not kindly describe the way in which all prophecies are realized... The details of the predictions are always wrong. Of course this is not a curse. It's just a sign of Goddess."

Jeong-jin did not tell a lie. Clio was also a goddess, wasn't she?

"So how did the stigma... Can you just flip the world over like a stage background or tear it apart?”

"This scar was given to me by God to exercise his will on the ground. With the power of the scar, I can change what happened. As long as it's approved by the goddessesque as it is today.”

Arthur breathes a short breath of surprise.

"It's amazing to predict what's going to happen, but how can you change what's happening?”

"Back in time. You saw it."

Can you call it... a human ability?”

"That's why it's called the scar."

"Then when we first met, why did you write so recklessly to me?"

"I didn't want to get involved with you.”

"What?"

"I just wanted to lie down and spend my whole life. Because you and I wanted different things in life than the glory of the world and the glory of the throne. We tried and failed to turn back time when we didn't know each other."

The nursery rhymes with the boy's hard shoulders. Arthur could have been crossed without even recognizing the existence of Clay. I never imagined such a possibility.

There was a lot of things I wanted to talk about, but nothing could be said and added silly things.

"But I can't believe I'm bleeding the back of my freshly cooked classmate's hand. That's right in front of the dean."

"It was an accident that mixed up what was going to happen to you. In the first place, ordinary people don't even recognize the turn of time due to sexual scars, but you were the only exception to the favor of Goddess. That's what caused your first scar, and that's why I've learned the limitations of my scar."

"So, you can't even turn back my time?"

"Yes."

Despite the callous answer, Arthur relaxed his expression as if he had found an answer to a question.

"That's enough. Go. Anyway, you saved my life, tried for me and my friends, and eventually changed my scar so brilliantly.”

"Oh, my job wasn't great. If I hadn't caused an accident in the first place, your scar would have been born after this dungeon, as it was."

After struggling, Clayo clapped his lips a few times, eventually asking the necessary questions.

"Now, it's your turn. So, Arthur, what more do you know about the world now?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I already know that when my scar is applied to you, your time is mixed up. The tangle could be physical, but it could be mental. No one's hurt, so this is the latter.”

Clayo added fake confidence to the bait question and invoked the propriety judgment.

Judgment of Appropriateness

You can determine whether an issue is true, false, or appropriate.

*CAUTION: 95% of the body's ether is temporarily consumed when using the function.]

[- Do you want to use Determining Appropriateness?]

The dizziness of Ether escaping was stronger today. When faced with Clayo, who doesn't express a single piece of emotion, Arthur gives a long sighs.

"You know, Ray, not today. It's already happening. When you grabbed Grendel and gave me the sword of fire... Oh, that's the power of your scar, right? At that time, so much memory and knowledge shone like stars, and it seemed like it was pouring out of the gates of heaven.”

The golden ether of "appropriateness judgment" winds around Arthur like a halo. It was an absurd sight.

It's not a blessing, it's just proof of Clayo's doubts.

"The voices are talking. You are the one who brought the revelation, the one who knows the will of God. I thought it was an auditory hallucination."

[- The answer has been proved true by the Appropriateness Judgment.]

Clayo swallows saliva.

This made it clear. Whether it's "editor authority" or "criticized narrative," all attempts to directly intervene in the main character's movements are mixed up.

Arthur also now correctly recognizes Clayo using his own skills. It is impossible to hide or bypass.

It was an embarrassing irony.

Intervention to correct the manuscript simultaneously intensifies the torsion of the main character. It would be a tightrope walking on a cliff that would strike a balance between them.

"…oh, most of the fantasies you've heard and seen have been real. It was like that again."

"That's too much to believe. God's agent, why on earth would you join me? What?"

It was a more vivid question because it was rough. a question long called under the shadow of silence

That’s right.

Arthur had one suspicion, one that he could not shake off.

Why did Clayo Asher promise to himself when he had nothing to gain from him, and he had nothing to gain from him?

What structure is the faith made of?

"God wanted it. I'm just a human being for reasons I don't know."

As always, 'Jeongjin' refers to a sentence consisting only of truth in an untrue context. That's all you have to say, you can only know up to here.

Clay is not surprised by Arthur's great patience and long acquiescence. Instead, they have only completed as many explanations as they can.

However, there are still many things to say to 'Jung-jin.' The truths that should never be revealed.

The truth that gnaws at the foundation of the play should be concealed. in order for a story to form into a story

Because the main character has to believe that the whole incident is of pure will.

Clay is blatantly open to the reaction of the three princes. anticipating disappointment in the boy's face.

The prediction is wrong.

Which bird? From boy to young man, the youngest prince, who had completely changed his impression, only gave a neat, calm smile to Clayo.

"Because the goddess has left our world, no more sacred people are born. What, he was right next to me."

"No, it's not wrong. Goddess is not with us, and what I have is not divine but ether sensitivity. And let's make one thing clear. God's will is not yours, and the revelation that came to me is not something you should follow. You just have to live the way you want, the way you think you are right."

Arthur nodded casually.

"Well, he, I can't see the prophecy of Goddess, so I have no choice but to live my way. But I'm a little curious about this. My mother was a goddess. I wonder if you knew this beforehand.”

"Not me. Well, it would be a good story to spread through the rain if you were to ascend to the throne someday. The King of Prophecies, the elderly who have not lost their faith even though they are not working for the younger generation, will love it."

Clayo answers with a tone that scattered the heavyness of envy. The attempt was futile,and Arthur's attitude remained subdued.

"ITZY Ray, I know now. If it was God's will... It must have been absolute enough for you. Of course you didn't need the covenant. That's why you were so weird when you met the Archbishop of Estoria, right? You don't love or believe in God, but you're forced to follow the revelation.”

Clayo's duty to Arthur is not fair. Arthur is a shrewd understanding of the fact. Prior to angering Clayo's deceitful nature of silence.

"…so."

"But I hope you don't regret having to choose me."

After burning all doubts and temptations, Arthur's remaining resolution becomes flawless.

The boy holds the sword and raises the ether. The bright light that seems to have gathered the sweet morning winds his sword and his horse together.

Ray, I've always believed in you and I'll believe you. It's my choice, and it means I'm willing to take both the consequences and the consequences. That's the faith I know."

"You, do you know what you're talking about? Don't make such a ridiculous promise to others."

"Oh, that's it. Goddess, I don't care, but you're my friend."

Jeong-jin loses his words because of the hard innocence contained in simple answers.

The time-lost world began to collapse, with no time to find the right argument to persuade that fearless prince.

Before I knew it, the water rose to the knees of two people.

I thought the cold wave was blocking my breath, and soon I was reconciled with the drops of water and scattered. The gravity of the space has disappeared. The top and bottom turned upside down and the body floated up.

The rainbow hung in the middle of the upside-down light. It was hard to tell where the sky was from and where the water was from. Among them, the rainbow meets its image in the water to form a circle.

"Jeongjin" recalls that water is a metaphor for baptism and rainbow is a "promise" that there will be no two extinctions.

'Promise' is given in the land of salvation, at the end of time, after suffering.

Her voluntary commitment is strong in a way that is completely different from Clayo's compulsory commitment.

Arthur laughs in the scattering light. It is a pleasant and clear smile that reveals teeth and folds the corners of the eyes.

Like the chaos that destroys the remembered world, it's a fun playground where you jump in with your friend.

If you walk with her, even the moment of hardship won't always be painful.

Water spills from bottom to top like a warm rain, and the vivid sense only encourages the realism of this moment.

This is the present, and he lives now.

How can we regard the place where the current type of friendship exists only as part of the post-recession chronology?

'That's impossible.’

Finally, Clayo Asher accepts the reality at hand. amid some sort of defeatistic resignation

He could no longer remain a third party to watch the story from outside.
