Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World (Final Revision)

Stories (3)

As a very promising incarnation with 3 stories, even though he couldn't become a constellation because he had a sponsor, Cale was invited to the constellation's banquet.

However, since some constellations wanted to see his real appearance, they didn't allow him to disguise himself and he had to come as Cale instead of 'Bob'.

Cale didn't think it was a problem and was guided to the incarnation waiting room.

Then, the door opened and he saw an unexpected figure.

"..."

Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes widened.

Cale took back his words, coming with his real appearance was indeed a problem, even more so with the speech he gave to Yoo Jonghyuk in the first scenario about why he didn't want to be saved.

"You."

He would have liked to know that Yoo Jonghyuk was here beforehand, then he would have refused to come.

"How are you alive?"

Cale decided to imitate Xin Jian in this type of situation and waved his hand shamelessly.

"Hello, nice to see you again."

Xin Jian: The way you put it sounds like I end up in these kinds of situations often.

The Oldest Dream: Isn't that right?

Xin Jian: ...

Xin Jian: ...How did you know?

The other incarnations present then introduced themselves, making Yoo Jonghyuk unable to question Cale further.

After Yoo Jonghyuk nearly made a hole in Cale's head with his glare alone and Cale spent the entire banquet avoiding him, the event soon ended.

When he left, Cale heaved a sigh of relief and decided to change his disguise. His previous group of followers was a bit overwhelming and had begun to resemble a cult anyway, it was better to gather people with another identity to gather even more people before assembling the two groups.

Cale internally nodded at his plan.

***

When Zhou Mingrui resurrected, his connection with the gray fog that was previously suppressed by Xin Jian was deepened and he recovered his memories of the previous rounds.

Zhou Mingrui held his head.

["Who are you?"]

The words repeated in each round came to mind.

At the same time, his gaze crossed Sharron's sitting on the side.

The beautiful woman was expressionless and didn't make any comment even as she saw him resurrect.

Zhou Mingrui felt bitter.

Should he make her recite his honorific name to recover her memories of the previous rounds?

However, they weren't close enough that she would accept to put her life in danger by reciting the honorific name of an unknown existence, everyone in the Beyonder world knew how dangerous it was to do so.

But at the same time...

Did he really want her to recover his memories of the previous rounds when they only contained endless suspicions about him and unanswered questions for Sharron?

Wouldn't that make the distance between them increase because of their last conflict?

Zhou Mingrui selfishly didn't want Sharron to recover her memories. However, she also had the right to know what happened.
