#Episode 155
[Changcheongeomje] was the last survivor of star #888.
I’ve gone through the story of the stars, lost countless comrades, lost my country, lost friends, and lost my family.
There is only one reason why he is active as a constellation.
Items in the [Achievement Shop].
It was an item with exactly this name.
-[Reset Ticket]: Resets the star to its state before the story of the star progresses. All dead creatures will be revived.
(Note 1: The memories of all revived creatures will be ‘reset’.)
(Note 2: Only a maximum of 10 designated people will be resurrected with all memories.)
(Note 3: The story of the stars does not stop regardless of the reset point.)
(Note 4: This star progresses as a sub-story, not the main story.)
(Note 5: The starting point of the star story is determined by the star manager.)
-Usage restrictions: Administrators of the star in question.
-Price: 1,500,000,000 Achievement Points
The price is ridiculous, but the effects are even more ridiculous.
It’s a reset.
As the story progresses, all those who died return to life, and their memories are retained, although limited to certain people.
If it were actually used, it would be a real mess of a mess, but the important thing was to survive. The people I cherished, my colleagues, my family, my friends, they all survived.
To obtain this, you need a ridiculous amount of points, 1.5 billion, which would probably take decades or even hundreds of years of hard work to collect.
If it were a ‘group’, it would be a different story, but as an ‘individual’, it would take at least several thousand years of hard work to collect it.
[Changcheongeomje] was still collected.
[Changcheon Sword Master] has a whopping 70 million achievement points.
These are points collected over hundreds of years of racing.
I opened my eyes.
My vision was red. I was confused. I don’t even remember how many times I was hit.
It was so clear.
death.
Now, the Heavenly Sword Master is facing death.
A familiar face appears before your reddened vision.
Cheonma Ju Seong-cheol.
The 66,666th constellation, the faithful hound of the Ascendants.
“… … Do you really not know what it means to point your sword at the ascendants?”
“embrace.”
“… … You know? No, you don’t. I’m the same as you.”
Joo Sung-cheol’s eyebrows furrow slightly.
The Heavenly Sword Master continued speaking.
“I bowed my head to them to revive my ruined world. You bowed your head to save your world that was on the verge of destruction. Why don’t you know? The ascenders have done nothing to you right now. The mission has failed, and instead, the hunting dogs are biting their masters, yet there is no movement. Why don’t you know?”
The two eyes of the Heavenly Horse stared at the Heavenly Sword Emperor. The Heavenly Sword Emperor continued speaking.
“Your star, #1692, will soon be destroyed. Or it has already been destroyed. It doesn’t matter… … .”
To be exact, I was going to ask, ‘Does that really matter?’
But I couldn’t continue speaking.
Because I saw the determined expression on Cheonma’s face.
The meaning of that expression was simple.
The Heavenly Sword Master asked in a suppressed voice.
“… … Have you given up?”
“Give up… … . It depends on the viewer. Just think of it as not doing anything that will hold you back.”
“… … You’re crazy. Do you really think that ‘human’ can kill all the ascendants?”
Cheonma answered with a still determined expression.
“I believe.”
“… … You believe it?”
“I have been a hunting dog for hundreds of years. The reason I endured those hundreds of years was to gain the power to reach the ascended beings. However, in reality, there are beings who can do it and those who cannot. I was just an impossible being. I endured while searching for a way. And now I have found it.”
Cheonma raised his hand and placed it on the side of Changcheon Sword Master’s head.
“I don’t mind if my star is destroyed. If my star can be destroyed at any time by those who have taken it hostage, shouldn’t I let them know that I can behead them at any time according to my will?”
Cheonma was guiding Jin Shihou.
He joined hands with Jin Shihou, who had a grudge against the ascendants.
This was clearly Cheonma’s will.
Cheonma, of his own volition, sought a way to kill the ascendants, and found the method through a being called Jin Shihou.
I’m running it right now.
“My children, my subjects, all their lives are already as good as lost. I will kill the ascenders and drag their corpses across the ground. With that, I will console the souls of my people. I, Cheonma Ju Seong-cheol, have lived like this until now. Did you say that you are like me?”
Cheonma shook his head.
“You and I are different. You endured time while being subordinate to them in order to obtain [the right to reset], and I endured time to cut their throats. How can we be the same?”
The Heavenly Sword Master had nothing to say.
Because Cheonma’s words were right. I thought they were the same, but they weren’t. They were different.
Their mindsets were different and their strengths were different.
“… … I admit other things. I never thought I would say something like this in my life, but I hope you don’t kill me.”
“I won’t kill you. Just give me what I want.”
“… … You’re probably talking about the moving stone that goes to star #12 managed by [Plati].”
Cheonma nodded. The Heavenly Sword Master didn’t hesitate.

I opened the ‘Inventory’. There, I gave the moving stone to star #12 to Cheonma.
Cheonma, who accepted it, nodded.
The Heavenly Horse, who was about to go to Jin Shihou, was stopped by the Heavenly Sword Emperor, who only raised his upper body.
“for a moment.”
Cheonma turns his head. The Heavenly Sword Master throws something at him. Cheonma catches it and opens his eyes wide.
It was Lee Dong-seok.
What is written there is #302.
“… … It is a lower planet ruled by [Musin]. If you go there, you will be able to obtain a moving stone heading to Jangcheon.”
There was no need for a long explanation.
“… … I should have brought Kronos. Tsk, go away.”
I don’t know about the Changcheon Sword Master.
What happened to Chronos of 29CA where Jin Shihou was?
He continued to attack until he became exhausted and broke down.
Bringing another Kronos to face such a monster?
I probably would have earned more than that.
“Make sure to use it well.”
The Heavenly Sword Master waved his arms while lying down.
The Heavenly Sword Master watched blankly as the backs of the Heavenly Horse and Jin Shihou disappeared before long.
really.
Bringing down the ascendants?
“… … It won’t work… … .”
It felt cheap.

There is exactly one day left until Chapter 2 of Star’s Story Phase 2 begins.
The reconstruction of Star #2403 is not yet complete, but it was inevitable.
Awakened people all over the world had to prepare.
Each returned to their own country and inspected each other’s equipment.
It wasn’t the end.
Over the past six days, a lot has happened.
Let’s just put aside the stories about the reconstruction I mentioned earlier, or checking the equipment in preparation for Chapter 2, or whatever.
There was one topic that took the world by storm.
It was none other than ‘incarnation’.
In fact, the story has been coming out occasionally since the beginning of Chapter 1, let alone Chapter 2.
For example, it is like this.
[Someone wants to make you their incarnation. Would you like to accept?]
There were quite a few people who responded to this proposal.
And they played a big part in Chapter 1 for the most part.
The reason was simple.
When you become an incarnation, first of all, your overall abilities increase.
It means that you will rise above the ranks, and obtain a [Unique Incarnation Weapon] for the second time.
And thirdly, and this is the most important, you can use [Incarnation Attribute Skills].
If you become the incarnation of a constellation that controls fire, it is a skill that allows you to become fire itself, and the grades range from F-grade to SSS-grade.
Usually, when you reach SSS rank, you get what is called a legendary skill, and you get that skill almost for free.
It was an amazing level.
South Korea’s Jin Song-i also received the message.
However, Jinsong-i was having slightly different concerns than other people.
[The Wolf of Destruction wishes to make you his incarnation. Will you respond?]
[The owner of the ark that saved mankind wishes to make you his incarnation. Will you respond?]
[The Immortal Sword Master wishes to make you his incarnation. Would you like to accept?]
[The God of Lightning wishes to make you his incarnation. Will you accept?]
[The ancient god of war wishes to make you his incarnation. Will you accept?]
[The one who was the son of dawn wishes to make you his incarnation. Will you consent?]
Jinsong also has some listening ears.
I’ve gathered some information, and the constellations listed so far haven’t made any incarnation proposals to anyone except Jinsong.
Of course, there are those who become incarnate and do not say anything out loud, but there was some basis for it.
[The ancient god of war says that he has not offered incarnation to anyone but you.]
It was the same for others.
Jinsong has been through a lot. There must be a big price to pay for such excessive kindness.
[The son of dawn urges, saying he can no longer wait.]
The first offer I received was five days ago.
In those five days, there were easily hundreds of messages.
He rested his chin on his hand and was lost in thought.
Jinsong knows herself. If you were to pick the strongest person in the current star #2403, the first would be Helena, the second would be Jinsong herself. The third would be Langwei of China, but at least for now, neither of them, except Jinsong, are Awakened.
Jinsong was convinced that she was the strongest among the Awakened.
But, an offer of this level comes?
Are those beings, whose names alone should be enough to make you intuitively know who they are, ‘pleading’ like this?
There is only one.
‘… …suitable person.’
Because Jin Song-i is the most likely candidate.
I haven’t even gotten the key yet. I don’t even know what it is.
Knock, knock, he tapped the table with his hand.
If I were to become someone’s incarnation, it would be better to become the incarnation of the strongest person.
But why does it take so long?
It was a benefit that everyone else was receiving, and in a situation where most people would ‘accept’ it, Jin Song-i was thinking of ‘rejecting’ it.
I’ve been thinking about this for the past few days.
And now I’ve decided.
I will not be an incarnation of anyone.
It was so disgusting.
That was when.
The hairs stand on Jinsong’s whole body. The back of her neck feels tingly.
There’s someone behind you.
I immediately drew up the energy of my entire body. I put the light sphere inside my body. Then I immediately threw myself over the table to the other side. All of this happened in 0.1 seconds.
He immediately released the energy into his hand and aimed it at the place he had just been.
There was a man there.
The man was tall and cloaked, with a large mask over his face and a hood attached to his cloak covering his head.
The only thing that can be seen is the two exposed eyes.
Those eyes were strangely familiar.
These are the eyes I’ve seen before.
There was no time to think. It was imminent.
Jinsong asked with all her senses on edge.
“… …Who are you?”
This is Jin Song-i’s office on the top floor of the Salvation Guild.
I didn’t even get a report that someone was coming, and I didn’t get the feeling that someone was coming. The guy just showed up.
The man raised his hand.
Then, the energy spreads out based on the man. Jin Song-i couldn’t even begin to grasp the extent of the power contained in that energy.
That was when.
