"Well then. Dear readers, shall we have a light discussion?"
[Some constellations are confused.]
He looked at the notification before shrugging it off.
"Anyway. What I wanted to talk about is the fanfic.
I'm pretty sure I'm not real and you guys know it since you all are reading what I'm saying right now and I might be able to answer some of your questions.
First of all, how did I adapt so fast? The answer is, I don't know. The only thing I know is that the real me changed my personality trait and made me more calm and adaptable.
Second of all, why am I so sure I'm not real and acting like there really are people reading about me.
I always believed that if I ever get transmigrated, then it would mean I'm not real and actually am a character written by the real me to be like him."
He pauses a bit before starting again.
"I know that was a long talk all of a sudden. Anyway, I–"
Before he could finish his word, someone entered the store. It was another student from Taepung's girls school, the same one Jihye was in.
Ken expected more of them to come as the real him had started to make things make sense, so there should obviously be more survivors.
"I think It will take some time to finish all these up."
He says before going towards her.
—***—
"Ha… there were like forty or so students who came here, so it took some time.
Though… this part must have been skipped for you guys, lucky you.
It was a hassle to convince them to give me the coins, but they somehow were convinced." He says in a bit of an exhausted tone.
"Anyway, what I was saying is that I have to state that I was about to write the same fanfic you guys are reading right now.
I don't know which plan you are reading, but I had three plans.
First, I hadn't written the fanfic in a long time and would have started chapter seventeen with what is happening right now.
Second, I would have deleted the chapter there and posted the ones from the new one instead.
Third, as well as the one I believe you guys are reading right now is that I deleted the original fanfic and posted this one as a new one with the same name."
Speaking so much all of a sudden felt weird to him and he was also concerned if anything about the constellations changed.
"By the way, my interaction with Jihye has changed…
I was originally supposed to pass out, which didn't make sense and she was originally supposed to go her own way tomorrow.
Which means the real me has started to change things and make them better."
He paused again before saying. "The last thing I wanted to say is that he is changing a lot of things about me… I somehow became a lot better at talking my way out."
[Multiple constellations are trying to guess what you are talking about.]
The constellations couldn't hear what he was saying.
Ken already expected them to not hear anything he was saying, the reason was simple, they couldn't even in the original.
Originally, anything related to ways of survival were censored to not only constellations, but also dokkaebis most probably because it was something they were not supposed to know, or it was just outside their boundaries to hear about it.
The same thing just happened. Ken was talking about things entirely outside the entire world of ORV and for the same reason, the constellations couldn't hear him.
Ken sits down, thinking about something before opening the dokkaebi bag. As a screen opens in front of him which consists of multiple lists as Ken searches for something before buying it.
[1800 coins have been deducted for the purchase.]
'That bastard… really cut off extra 100 coins.'
[Multiple constellations are wondering about what you just bought.]
'So… they can see me buying something? Is that why Dokja would always tell Bihyung or Biyoo to put on an ad?'
Ignoring them, he mutters something before the blue screen pops up.
[You have opened your attribute window for the first time.]
[Name: Kennedy.]
[Age: 15.]
[Attributes: Regeneration (Rare), Avid reader (Rare), ADHD (Rare), Delusional (Common).]
[Personal skills: Regeneration (lvl 1), Body control (lvl 1), Reading (lvl 1), Reader's POV (Stage 1), Hyper thinking (Stage 1), Hyper imagination (Stage 1), Weapon proficiency (lvl 1).]
[Stats: Strength (lvl 3), Constitution (lvl 3), Agility (lvl 4), Mana (lvl 1).]
[Coins possessed: 6,900.]
"Whoa! All my stats are one level higher than original?!
Well, I did more exercise compared to the past. But… Why am I still fifteen? Shouldn't I be sixteen?"
Ken was confused, really confused at that. The reason being he had turned sixteen not long ago, just twenty days.
But unfortunately for him, he doesn't understand that he is actually just fifteen and on the run to becoming sixteen.
He was frustrated. Frustrated to the point that he didn't even notice that the name of Magic power had been changed to Mana.
He tries to punch the attribute window, but fails before finally giving up.
[Some constellations are intrigued about your attribute window.]
[Constellation Merchant of Venice says that they are ready to pay if needed.]
[Constellation The dead man who came back is angry at the Merchant of Venice for saying that.]
"So, you guys want to trade my information?
It won't be much… just 500 coins for each."
[Constellation Merchant of Venice is glad to trade.]
[Constellation Themasochist of Joseon says that there is another one here.]
[Constellation Merchant of Venice says that he will pay in for that one instead.]
"So, starting with my age…"
—***—
[Constellation The masochist of Joseon asks if it is alright to not pay.]
[Constellation Merchant of Venice says that he doesn't mind paying instead.]
[Constellation The dead man who came back says that the Weapon proficiency is a scam.]
The constellations banter among themselves while Ken checks the amount of coins he has in amusement.
[Coins possessed: 38,900.]
After staring at the coins he has right now, he realizes one thing, and that is that he doesn't have any shoes.
When he got transported here, he was in bed and hadn't worn any shoes.
He heads out to find some kind of mall or shop to find some good clothes and shoes for himself, as stealing things from this types of places isn't a crime in an apocalypse anymore.
