We were able to get out of the final gate safely.
“Guys!”
“good job!!”
When we got out, Leaf and Ruid, who had been guarding the final gate after we entered, called out to me in a loud voice.
The news that the final gate was cleared quickly spread around the world.
Just as the Seven Heroes closed the final gate, news that the final gate was cleared was delivered to awakened people around the world.
In addition, Yoo Ah-ram quickly edited and uploaded a video of what happened at the final gate, and people who watched the video went crazy.
I looked at Yoo Ah-ram, who created this whole situation.
Not only was it amazing that he edited and uploaded the video quickly, but Yoo Ah-ram was even monitoring the comments in real time.
Then Yoo Ah-ram, who made eye contact with me, looked at me and smiled brightly.
I couldn’t help but harden my expression as I saw not only Yoo Ah-ram but also my friends smiling brightly around me.
“what’s the matter? What’s going on?”
Hwang Da-bin, who saw that my expression was not good, came over and asked, and I shook my head.
Of course, not on the inside.
The moment I cleared the final gate, I knew I had achieved a successful ending.
No one died, and everyone was able to pursue happiness.
The system message hinted at ‘Everyone Cha Cha Cha’ was achieved.
“No, nothing happened.”
They said everything was over, but they couldn’t tell everyone the truth.
I looked back at my friends.
It was nice that we all saw the ending together, but when I thought about breaking up with the friends I had become attached to, my heart felt empty.
‘If I disappear, will they remember me?’
I do not know. Because Lee Si-woo was originally one of the common extras.
One thing I’m curious about is that ‘The World After the Apocalypse’ became a new story because I ghostwrote it.
If I disappear from the newly changed world of the novel, what will happen to the people who exist here?
What happens to the lives of the characters when they reach the end of the story?
I was curious about that.
“Siwoo, look at the comment window. “There was a lot of chaos?”
“what?”
As I looked at my smartphone, Selina and Ban Hye-jin next to me said something.
“How on earth did you defeat the demon god?”
“What happened when the demon god grabbed my neck? “It’s not that crazy.”
Following Ban Hye-jin, who made a fuss while reading the comments, Hwang Da-bin asked.
“So, Lee Si-woo. We’re curious too. “How on earth did you defeat the demon god?”
No one asked how I defeated the demon because I was too busy rejoicing that I had cleared the final gate.
However, after seeing Yoo Ah-ram’s subscribers chatting in the comments, my friends also became curious about how I defeated the demon god.
I was wondering what to say to my friends who were looking at me with bright eyes.
Actually, this is a fictional world and I was a web novel writer writing these novels in the real world.
When I dragged the demon into the inner world, it turned out to be my room?
I happened to have a monitor and a keyboard, so I scribbled a few words on the keyboard, and the demon disappeared.
Isn’t it impossible to say this?
I was about to open my mouth with the thought of getting over it, but a sudden thought occurred to me and I tilted my head.
‘… Why am I still not seeing any messages?’
Judging from my experiences in previous lives, a system message appeared immediately after clearing the final gate.
It is said that even tigers will appear if you say the right thing.
The moment I thought about system messages, a system message appeared in front of my eyes.
[Readers saw an ambiguous ending. Readers request an interview with the main character ‘Lee Si-woo’.]
9.
Do you want to accept?
There was no such thing as that.
As soon as I saw the system message, I was forcibly transported to another space by a strong ray of light, without even being able to answer my friends’ questions.
And I was able to face the people who had been giving me a hard time.
-hi?
This place was like a court.
People who were supposed to be ‘readers’ were looking down at me from above, and I was looking up at them from below.
The guy sitting in the middle looked at me and said hello.
“I can’t say goodbye?”
-Ohh?
I looked at them with an annoyed expression.
“You don’t know how much I’ve wanted to meet you guys.”
At my words, the guy to the right of the center opened his mouth.
-why?
“… “I was curious about how powerful the readers are and how many times they try to rip and change the work.”
The guys sitting on top of me looked like they were going to die from laughter.
-Anyway, writers live on their own pride.
-I know that? Are you saying that the reason you writers exist is because of us?
-If there is no one to watch, no matter how much the author writes and creates a world, the story in that world will not progress.
-You probably know best, right? That readers are superior to writers?

“That’s terrible. “No matter how strange a reader may find the content to be, it is the author’s right to edit the work!”
The readers smiled at those words.
-that’s right. Thanks to the author giving us that authority, we were able to enjoy the sights three times. I was especially satisfied with the third round.
I kept my mouth shut when the reader said he was satisfied.
-That’s right, how boring it was during the first episode.
-I still got a little better in the second round, but I gave up when I saw that everyone around me was falling behind.
-Compared to that time, the 3rd episode was an improvement. but.
but?
-It’s ambiguous… … .
What is ambiguous? I saw an ending where everyone was happy together as they told.
They created a world where no one dies and everyone can be happy.
“What didn’t you like?”
-It was fun. But there are too many parts that are annoying. The original readers are a bit picky, right?
-You know that if there’s anything that bothers you even a little, you won’t follow through until the end, right?
Before I knew it, I was listening to readers’ reviews and clenched my fists.
“Where is that annoying part?! “If you don’t like it, you can fix it!”
-Kikik, so you’re fixing it, right?
I felt goosebumps rising all over my body as I heard the words of the reader sitting in the center.
I asked, looking straight at the guy.
“I have a question.”
-What?
“You guys changed the story to whatever you wanted. “I wonder if it’s all over now.”
-Kick, do you want it to be over? Regardless of what happens to those characters you were friends with?
When he pointed his finger into the air, I saw my friends looking for me who had disappeared into thin air.
I clenched my molars when I saw that.
-Originally it was going to end in three, just like you expected. If we didn’t deliver satisfactory results, we were out, but you made us half satisfied.
“… so?”
-I guess I’ll give it one more chance.
What he meant was that he was going to bring me back.
“f*ck you. Who did it again?”
-What should I do?
“Never do that.”
-Okay, I’ll give you time. Additionally, I will give you time to think about the content behind it. It means to do better in the next episode.
“I won’t do it!!”
-When you decide to do it, call us. Then I’ll come find you.
With those words, I was able to return to my friends.
“Siwoo?!”
“What, suddenly? “Where did you disappear to?”
“son!”
I looked at my friends and family who were giving me worried looks.
If you go back again, the tower you worked so hard to build will collapse.
I didn’t want to watch that happen again.
10.
Time passed quickly.
People gave us the name Chilseong (七星), meaning the seven stars who saved the world.
Following the rise of the Seven Heroes, Chilseong truly rose to stardom.
“Hey, Excellency Ilsung. “What are you looking at so intently?”
Even though he is called Chilseong, he is still a student.
We returned to Gakseong High School and resumed our peaceful school life at Gakseong High School.
Of course, I was not at peace at all.
“List of divine items. Joowon, do you know anything?”
“No, I’ve never heard of a god-level item? But why are you suddenly getting a god-level item?”
Without the information that Jeong Ju-won, a genius in information, knew, god-level items might not exist in this world.
“just because I got bored.”
Having said that, it was a really important issue to me.
After confronting the so-called ‘readers’, they made me live in the world of this novel again.
Peaceful time passed, but I could not go about my daily life in peace.
This is because I did not know when and how readers would invade.
These guys will definitely make me choose to return again.
I felt like I already knew what the method was.
“Well, I guess he was even selected as the successor to the strongest guild. “It feels like the world is in your hands.”
“Okay, what about the other kids?”
“no problem. “It’s self-study time, so everyone is scattered.”
I nodded at Jeong Joo-won’s words.
I made sure my friends were safe every day, even while listening to Jeong Ju-won nagging me, asking why I was so worried when I had blown up the final gate and even destroyed the demon god.
Grumble.
At that time, the dormitory door opened and someone entered the room.
Jeong Ju-won confirmed the identity of the man who came in and quickly greeted him.
“Oh, hello.”
“Oh, Joowon was there too. sorry. Then next time… … .”
“Oh, no. Let’s talk! “I’m going out!”
The person who entered the room was my father, Lee Si-hyeon.
Lee Si-hyeon, who was freed from the demon god, came to her senses and hugged me and her mother with joy that she no longer had to maintain the barrier.
It was a freedom I had not had in decades.
However, that joy was short-lived. Due to the absence of someone to lead Gakseong High School, Lee Si-hyeon became a scout for Gakseong High School and is currently working at Gakseong High School.
“Siwoo.”
“yes. father.”
“Woohee said that. I think you’re worrying too much. I understand that you care about your friends’ safety, but I think you’re going too far. What on earth are you worried about? “Can’t you tell this father?”
At those words, I stared at Lee Si-hyeon.
Lee Do-yoon, who was an orphan, entered the novel and became Lee Si-woo and was able to receive the love of his parents.
It was a truly happy experience.
I felt like the happiest person in the world, having built strong friendships with my friends and receiving love from my family.
But the more time I spent here, the more anxious I became.
This was a world in a novel, and I had to go out into reality.
And because they couldn’t figure out how the so-called ‘readers’ would shatter their happy lives.
I couldn’t help but become extremely sensitive to the safety of my family and friends.
“Yeah, just think I’m overreacting.”
Lee Si-hyeon silently nodded in response to my answer.
“okay. If you want to talk, say it. I will always wait. I’ve been thinking that way lately. When Choi Kang asked me to open the barrier, I thought that if I hadn’t listened to him and opened the barrier, I might not have been able to enjoy this moment. It was too long for me. “It felt like the world stopped.”
As I was listening to what Si-Hyeon Lee said, I silently nodded and listened to what Si-Hyeon said.
As I was nodding like that, I raised my head feeling something strange.
“… father?”
Lee Si-hyeon was speaking but stopped with an expression on his face.
I quickly looked at the clock.
The hour hand was not moving.
The flowing time stopped.
