Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint (Web Novel KR)

“Run.”
At Killer King’s signal, we sprinted through the rain.
“Five raptors ahead!”
At my callout, Killer King’s younger sister—LiteratureGirl64—shot forward.
[Baekcheonganggi] coiled around the claws in both her hands.
Accelerating in a blur, she snapped the five raptors’ necks like brittle reeds.
“One 7th-grade up front!”
[A 7th-grade earth-dragon, ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex,’ has appeared!]
A 7th-grade earth-dragon, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Empowered by the Black Moon, the beast barreled toward us, toppling the broad-leaf trees ahead.
LiteratureGirl64 didn’t retreat; she charged the tyrannosaur head-on.
[Incarnation, ‘Lee Seyon,’ activates the skill ‘Versus Action Mode’!]
Lee Seyon. That was the name of the body LiteratureGirl64 was possessing.
Since I didn’t remember her, she must have been a plain extra.
As the tyrannosaur’s forearm came crashing down toward LiteratureGirl64’s head, she shouted:
“Oppa, now!”
“Got it.”
[Incarnation, ‘Kang Ilhun,’ spends 300 coins.]
[Incarnation, ‘Kang Ilhun,’ receives the ‘Command Controller.’]
A small controller appeared in Killer King’s hand. As he keyed in a flashy string of inputs, a crimson aura detonated from LiteratureGirl64’s whole body.
Using the burst of force, she slipped to the tyrannosaur’s rear leg and drove her right fist in hard.
Thud-BOOM!
With a thunderous crack, the tyrannosaur’s ankle buckled. A precise three-hit crushing punch.
Roaring in fury, the tyrannosaur whipped its massive tail.
His sister yelled,
“Parry!”
“On it.”
Killer King worked the controller; LiteratureGirl64 crossed her arms and released mana at the exact instant.
The tyrannosaur’s tail ricocheted as if it had hit an invisible wall.
It was a truly astonishing chain.
To think I’d watch a skill that only works in games reconstructed in reality.
[You have executed 4 consecutive intermediate commands.]
[Penalty of ‘Versus Action Mode’ activates!]
[Command input is disabled for 30 seconds.]
“Yerin!”
“Don’t worry.”
The wounded tyrannosaur stomped the ground wildly. LiteratureGirl64 sprang up into the trees.
Not as clean as before, but an apt evasion maneuver powered by sheer physical talent.
While trees around us were ripped out by the roots, LiteratureGirl64 coolly circled the tyrannosaur.
“Okay. Now!”
[Penalty of ‘Versus Action Mode’ is lifted!]
Timing seized, LiteratureGirl64 vaulted onto the tyrannosaur’s tail and sprinted along it.
A faint smile touched Killer King’s lips as he worked the controller.
“Secret art—Dark Spinning Breaker.”
Spiraling like a top in midair, her claws flared a dark crimson.
She slashed out both of the tyrannosaur’s eyes, then drove her claws into the center of its skull.
Crunch—! The parietal bone shattered; blood geysered.
[High-level command activation successful!]
[Versus Action Mode is released.]
[Battle Score: Chain score 91! Are you perhaps an aspiring pro gamer?]
The aura around LiteratureGirl64 faded.
Catching her breath, she trudged down from the dinosaur’s bulk, fatigue ghosting her steps.
“What’s the chain score?”
“Ninety-one. A pity.”
“Still higher than before. Coins?”
“I’ve got enough for a few more uses.”
“What was that earlier?”
“What do you mean.”
“You slapped a weird name on my move.”
“Don’t remember.”
From that single fight, I’d grasped their combat style.
Versus Action Mode let them control an enhanced body like a versus-action game.
LiteratureGirl64 activated the skill and handed Killer King the controller; Killer King input commands to fire techniques.
Simple—but far from easy—to synchronize.
By letting one focus purely on bodily enhancement and the other purely on movement control, they created momentary explosive synergy.
A fighting style possible only because they trusted each other completely.
Sensing my gaze, Killer King said,
“Surprised by this body control, are you.”
“Your sister is incredible.”
“If you’ve had your fill of watching, bring out your own hidden trump card.”
We kept sprinting through the forest.
The research building was now less than a hundred meters away.
GROOOOOAR!
Maybe it was the Black Moon—our pursuers were getting faster and faster.
At least twenty raptors flanked us from both sides; more than ten blocked the front.
Killer King frowned.
“Yerin, cooldown?”
“Three minutes left.”
So Versus Action Mode had a cooldown.
I lengthened my stride and said,
“This time, I’ll try.”
I drew a big breath.
Earlier, trying to [Agitate] as the Last Dragon of the Apocalypse had failed.
Probably because my standing wasn’t high enough. Then could Abyssal Black Flame Dragon work? No idea.

At least “Tyrannosaurus” had worked.
In that case—
“I am…”
[Exclusive skill, ‘Agitation Lv.6,’ activates!]
“…the ‘Snake That Sheds Its Tail.’”
Tzzzzzt!
As expected, [Agitation] as a being above my tier carried a penalty. Pain like electricity coursed through my veins instead of blood; my consciousness flickered for an instant.
[Constellation, ‘Snake That Sheds Its Tail,’ stares at you in shock.]
Still, perhaps because that constellation’s tier was low, I could weather the backlash.
I swallowed the blood rising in my throat. I could manage at least ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) one line.
“G—et lost!”
At my shout, every raptor ahead panicked and fled.
[‘Agitation’ is released.]
With a crackling buzz, my body shuddered as if shocked.
Killer King caught me as I staggered and dry-heaved.
“I didn’t know [Agitation] could be used like that.”
“Cheon Inho turned out to be more busted than I thought.”
We dove straight into the Central Research Building. Thankfully, the 6th-grade earth-dragon hadn’t moved yet.
But there was a problem.
Once inside, the Central Research Building split into Wing A and Wing B.
“We need to secure the ampoules. You know that.”
I nodded.
The rewards available in this film were various stat ampoules.
Heading for Wing B, Killer King called to us.
“You take A with Yerin. I’ll handle B.”
“Will you be fine alone?”
“It won’t matter.”
He was probably considering that, with me carrying Jung Heewon, I couldn’t fight properly.
This time I didn’t refuse the consideration. There was no room to.
Together with LiteratureGirl64, I swept Wing A, and within minutes we found the place we wanted.
[Embryo Lab].
We pushed the door open and entered.
Flasks and ampoules sprawled everywhere—looked like we were in the right spot.
In a clear incubator, a dinosaur embryo floated in gestation.
I stared, unthinking, and LiteratureGirl64 came up beside me.
“They won’t be born… will they.”
I couldn’t tell if it was a question or a murmur.
I answered without thinking,
“Probably not.”
This film was only a virtual stage. When the film ended, everything would vanish. These embryonic dinosaurs would be the same.
She said flatly,
“Maybe it’s better if they aren’t.”
I glanced at her; she dipped her head, avoiding my eyes.
As far as I knew, she had never read Ways of Survival. She’d only heard the story over and over from her brother, Killer King.
What did she think about being dragged into this world?
“These, right?”
“Yes, those.”
We quickly found the stat ampoules that had appeared in the main story.
Comprehensive ampoules that raised Strength, Stamina, Agility, Magic, and so on.
Total discovered: twenty-four.
We split the stat ampoules evenly. I kept the special one we found additionally.
‘Tyrant T-Rex DNA Ampoule.’
On consumption, all stats +10 for 30 minutes.
Considering the theater dungeon’s final floor, this one was a must.
Kugugugugu—!
The entire building shuddered as if it had taken an artillery shell.
“Rooftop. Now.”
Outside the window, a colossal earth-dragon was rearing up. Judging by its height, it was a monster modeled after a Giganotosaurus.
That must be the Lord of the Cretaceous.
The research wings were connected.
If it had heard the commotion, Killer King would also be heading for the roof.
[6th-grade earth-dragon, ‘Lord of the Cretaceous,’ roars!]
[All living things in the vicinity fall into ‘Predatory Terror’!]
The building rang with the roar; an instant chill iced my spine.
I hurriedly triggered my skill.
[Exclusive skill ‘Agitation Lv.6’ activates.]
“There is no need to fear.”
“There is no need to fear.”
Stiff for a moment, LiteratureGirl64 steadied and took the stairs up.
After that bout of howling, the earth-dragon swiped its forelimbs about, as if searching prey. Every window of Wing B blew out; the building began to collapse from the corners—the very wing Killer King had entered.
LiteratureGirl64 spoke.
“My brother is strong.”
I knew. Killer King was certainly an outstanding incarnation.
But his forte was strategy and mind games—not raw stat totals or physicality.
More than that, the character he possessed was Kang Ilhun, the “Rumor Specialist,” vice-director of the Dongdaemun Group.
Even with Jophiel as his sponsor, considering an incarnation’s potential, the odds of surviving that collapse zone—
“You’re late.”
The rooftop door banged open; Killer King emerged.
“The ampoules?”
“Secured.”
At his sister’s answer, Killer King nodded.
“We’re leaving now.”
The earth-dragon had spotted us and was gathering its breath.
[6th-grade earth-dragon ‘Lord of the Cretaceous’ prepares ‘Breath of the Cretaceous’!]
So even a 6th-grade earth-dragon had something like a breath attack.
Luckily, an evac helicopter had arrived on the rooftop.
“Get in!”
LiteratureGirl64 climbed first, then took Jung Heewon from my back.
The earth-dragon seemed to need time to exhale its breath. At this rate, we could escape.
Except—
[This helicopter has a ‘3-person limit.’]
[A new helicopter will spawn in 10 minutes.]
The rotor thrum deafened my ears.
LiteratureGirl64 was shouting something at me.
This couldn’t be right.
In the main story, this helicopter had a capacity of four.
[‘The Theater Owner’ is satisfied with the ending-condition change.]
The scenario had changed.
Maybe because the team limit was three.
Only three could escape at once.
[Constellation, ‘Snake That Sheds Its Tail,’ objects!]
[Constellation, ‘Snake That Sheds Its Tail,’ demands a ‘Massacre Ending.’]
[‘The Theater Owner’ ignores the constellation’s demand.]
[‘The Theater Owner’ wonders who the final sacrifice will be.]
I looked to Killer King. He happened to be speaking with his sister.
「If it’s those two…」
With their teamwork—if Jung Heewon joined in—they might even stave off a rooftop showdown.
I stepped back from the helicopter and thought.
Another chopper would come anyway. If I ran and stalled for ten minutes somehow, if I pushed [Agitation] to the limit—
“You go.”
I turned. Killer King spoke with his back to me.
Maybe it was a hallucination born of the urgency.
For a moment, it felt like Yoo Joonghyuk was standing there.
I shook my head and took my place at his side.
“I’ll stay. You go.”
The Lord of the Cretaceous’s chest swelled. The breath would fire any second.
I readied [Agitation].
Even if it was reckless, just once more—become the Snake That Sheds Its Tail. Maybe I could deflect the breath’s aim a little.
“It’s a 6th-grade earth-dragon. [Agitation] won’t do anything.”
“You don’t know until we try.”
“I know without trying. I read Ways of Survival a hundred times.”
“Wasn’t it ninety-nine point eight?”
“I reread what I knew by heart.”
Most people wouldn’t call that “reading,” would they?
Before I could nitpick, Killer King asked,
“How many times have you read it?”
“I—”
“You must have read it over a hundred. I can tell. But—”
He slipped on a pair of black half-gloves from his inner pocket.
“I read it harder.”
He stepped forward; sparks crackled dangerously across his body.
[Constellation, ‘Commander of the Red Cosmos,’ praises his incarnation’s courage.]
[Constellation, ‘Commander of the Red Cosmos,’ bestows a blessing on his incarnation.]
“Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times harder than you.”
Killer King didn’t have [Agitation]. Yet in that moment, for some reason, I found myself convinced by his words.
With that, he charged the Lord of the Cretaceous.
The main story flashed through my mind.
His sponsor was Jophiel, Commander of the Red Cosmos.
I remembered how Jophiel fought in the 1,863rd regression.
「The whole sky screamed as if in pain. What looked like a red mist, upon closer look, was a vast army of tiny soldiers.
Unit 503 of , dyeing the heavens crimson.
The blood-soaked elites who followed the ‘Commander of the Red Cosmos.’」
The red mist now cloaking Killer King wasn’t as dense, nor as wide, as in the 1,863rd round.
It was just enough to guard a single person.
KWA-Rrrrrsh!
Breath of the Cretaceous shattered and dispersed against the red mist.
“Get in! No time!”
I turned; Killer King’s sister had my sleeve in a grip.
I hesitated no longer and boarded.
The helicopter lifted from the roof. Killer King shrank quickly below.
The enraged earth-dragon lunged at him. Unfortunately, the red mist had already faded. The monster’s forelimb snatched at Killer King’s exposed body with contemptuous ease.
I started up, but his sister held me.
“My brother is strong.”
They had their faith. The faith of someone who had read a certain novel a hundred times, and the faith of the one who had shared that time.
「Perhaps a reader who has read a story a hundred times can even recover the sentences the author lost.」
Looking closely, an item in Killer King’s right hand was glowing faintly.
I knew what it was at once.
「Stone Child.」
One of the hidden pieces I’d written on the note inside that box—Killer King had secured it safely.
「A single-use item that puts you in a ‘statue’ state for 4 hours immediately upon use.」
Unless struck by at least a constellation-class entity, the [Statue] state is not easily broken.
With that item, he could definitely survive even a 6th-grade earth-dragon’s assault.
I watched his body harden into solid stone.
[You have reached the ‘Ending credit.’]
[Cast: Cheon Inho, Lee Seyon, Jung Heewon]
[Each receives 500 coins as appearance fee.]
Killer King, the Second Apostle of the Seven Apostles.
A man who still believed this story hadn’t ended looked up at us.
As his stiffening hand waved, he seemed to be signaling something.
I couldn’t tell what he meant.
But his sister heard him.
“I can’t wait for the next episode.”
That was what he said.
