[Enter scene: Reader, Random, and Actors 11-24 to the Stage]
"You opened my eyes, agent-guy, I don't think I'm helpless anymore. Tell me your name before I go."
"Yulihan."
At least I get to know his name now.
"What's yours?"
[Random's will has increased tenfold]
"I'll tell you after the scenario is beaten, Yulihan. Then we can have a proper talk."
After.
He wasn't important to the story before, what is he going to do? People learn quickly in the future, when someone says something, they really mean it, no one messes around in a life-or-death situation. Even if it's the most absurd thing you have ever heard, it's better to remember every piece of information of what people say. He must've meant his words, he sounded more confident than before as well.
Wait…
I have to tell him something before he's too far away from me.
"Random!"
"Yeah?"
"Go to Defier of Death and click the equip button!"
[Random facing away from Reader, turns his head back a bit and smirks.]
[He gives a thumbs up, and says:]
"Actually, I already knew that."
- Deifer of death is vibrating loudly -
Deifer of Death? The way it feels, it's almost as powerful as before. I can feel the impending weight, but it's not mine.
Random?
- Deifer of death is shaking vigorously -
"Don't worry, Yulihan. I won't let my dear author die. "
He knew that as well??
- Deifer of death is shaking violently-
This guy is so damn cool…
"To be honest, I also have to tell you something. Isn't it strange how I reached the ground as fast as you?"
[Hearing this, the Reader is shocked and also feels a bit proud understanding what he meant.]
"I followed shortly after you fell, and I don't know how I was able to accept the Star Systems power, but I did, and it made me the 7th performer of the system. I think that means I beat you by one, my dear author,"
[They both laugh a bit.]
[Reader remarks at how cool Random is again.]
- Deifer of death is shaking violently -
"If I save everyone right now, I'll be a completely different person, my current mindset already makes me half as different, thank you for making me realize that, Yulihan!"
"Thank you for making me realize this, Yulihan! Thank you for making me realize that—,"
- An origin of disturbance throughout the stars has revealed itself! -
"That until death, all defeat is psychological!"
[Randoms will has increased hundredfold, almost back to where he used to be]
"I refuse to let you die!"
- The Higher Beings are on the edge of their seats! -
"I remember what the people in your stories said before!"
"LET THE STARS ALIGN–"
- Title effect: "Deifer of Death" is in use -
- Remaining time: 5 seconds -
[Almost as if it is angered, the unbuilt plane flys prematurely. Freed by the limits of the pilot seat, the plane flies faster than it ever could have hoped to before.]
[A crack appears from Random's origin, the source of life. Power breaks through from multiple dimensions, with such a ferocity, other smaller cracks start to form.]
[Unlike Readers power, which was fueled by pure determination, Random's was fueled by blinding excitement, he has never felt this free in a while. Due to this change, light, ranging from the size of a hair to the size of a redwood tree, spills out, flooding out of the ever increasing cracks.]
[Based purely on instincts, Random grabs a spear that seems to appear out of thin air, and sprints through the air. The flood of light surrounding him breaks him through the human's terminal velocity, allowing him to get rid of even the smallest shards of metal in air, and one final slash to cut through the pesky dark orange sky.]
[The difference in sight is clearly seen, people, including Reader, feel a strange, refreshing sense of safety. The scent of morning air is packed to the brim, with the trees and plants looking greener than before. And the revealing clouds form a straight cut following Random's spear.]
"I remember what you used to say, Yulihan!"
"LET THE STARS ALIGN–"
[At the same time the plane and Random both break the sound barrier, and are about to clash.]
"—AND MAY THE FIRE AS BIG AS A GAS GIANT IN OUR HEARTS—"
[Before the Vapor Cone even disappears, they are both at point blank, Random's spear holding the ferocity of a thousand suns blew what was the rest of the plane away. If the dark orange atmosphere was still somehow persistent in the city before, it certainly wasn't anymore.]
"—NEVER BE PUT OUT!"
[Unable to control it anymore, Readers laughter lets out, still unable to move he lays there on his back. The laughter is included with a bunch of tears, they stream down his face like a waterfall]
"Ahh, I'm all out of energy now."
[It didn't matter anymore, the problem was solved and random was close enough to the ground to survive. It isn't often it appears,
but for a short while the symbol of Joy has set foot upon Manhattan for a while.]
- Congratulations! You all have survived the Opening scenario! -
- For the first time in Star System History everyone has survived the Opening scenario! -
- For this monumental achievement, please wait for the calculation of oncoming rewards! -
"RANDOM YOU BASTARD! YOU DID IT!"
"See! I told you we wouldn't die!"
- Take this time to rest, you've all earned it! -
"RANDOM I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE HIDING SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"
[Random starts to chuckle uncontrollably!]
"Haha! I couldn't have done without you, my dear author!"
[The absence of blind environment from before rid them from their agitation,
and let them cheer for their saviors.]
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
[The first cheer was high pitched squealing, the second sounded like a titan, then a gathering of people all put their hands up, One, Two, Five, Ten, A Hundred, until even people on very edges cheered just because they were alive!]
[But it was for real this time, the crowd actually cheered for them! And this time, they also go wild!?]
clap. Clap. Clap! CLAP! C-L-A-P! "YEAAAAAAAAAH"
AGENT-GUY WAS SO COOL!
CLAP!
Applause!
Clap!
"Is this real life!?"
CLAP!
"Someone lift 'em up!"
CLAP!
"So heroic!"
Clap!
"Let's help em' up!"
[The first of audience to clap calls to their parents]
"SEE! MOMMY DADDY, uM- UMMM-, I Told you, uhhh, I TOLD YOU HEROS WERE REAL!!!!!"
"There's no way we survived all of that!"
Clap!
CLAP!
"WOAH, they're both insanely strong!"'
CLAP!
- The Higher Beings start to go insane from excitement! -
- Some of the Higher Beings, vow to keep an on you -
[Random lying on the ground turns his head towards Reader]
"End scene?"
Ha, that's the line I use at the end of my books.
"Hah, yeah,"
Was this only the first scenario?
Ahhhhh, does it even matter??
"End scene." "End scene."
"Yulihan…"
"Yeah?"
"Real-life doesn't end when you say 'End scene' you dummy!"
"Wha- It was your idea you bastard!"
[They both burst out in laughter, and in their minds is a single thought]
[Words cannot explain how grateful I am for this life]
