A Cinnamon Roll Character?
"You really have no sense of shame, do you?" Dok-ja deadpanned as Soo-young just copied Jung-hyuk's dialogue from TWSA.
"What? This is a dialogue from my own novel," Soo-young snapped and Dok-ja nodded while flatly speaking.
"Just like sponsors/constellations, meteorites/sealing stones, a protagonist that regresses and is a psycho that kills any who stand in his way, the attribute window, Yoo Jung-hyuk/Yoo Jung-Hyeon, yep you totally plagiarized the entire TWSA, I feel sorry for the original author at this point," Dok-ja sighed as Soo-young…
"What? Who would want to copy that third-rate garbage anyway?" She was extremely pissed about the accusation while Dok-ja just rolled his eyes.
"You guys, if you can…" He looked at the survivors of the coin farm before he spoke after getting his thoughts in order, "Go to Chungmuro if you can, there are trustworthy people there who would help you."
'I am sure they would all regroup there, that is why they didn't panic,' Dok-ja thought as Soo-young narrowed her eyes.
In less than 5 minutes the survivors picked up whatever they could use along with essentials and left quickly.
"You're really stupid to believe that they would help these people that 'you' sent," Soo-young scoffed but Dok-ja was sure.
"They'll help them if these guys can reach there, That's just how the leader is,"
"Hmm, I need to ask you some questions about that redheaded leader of yours as well, you better not lie since I have a lie detection skill," Soo-young said as…
'Just what the hell is she up to?' Dok-ja wondered as he nodded, he wouldn't mind sharing information with Soo-young since that would be helpful.
"But before that, you actually read my novel, huh? You seem to know a lot about it as well, were you an avid fan? Want an autograph?" Dok-ja deadpanned at Soo-young's smug look.
But she wasn't wrong he was an avid reader till a certain part.
'I only went over to read her novel to comment that it was a copy of TWSA, but a certain character got me hooked on the novel…' Dok-ja remembered the plot of Soo-young's novel 'The SSSSS-Grade Infinite Regressor'.
In the novel, the protagonist Yu Jung-Hyeon is a psycho killer who in stuck in a loop of regressions with all the sponsors and scenarios going on.
The main character is as evil as they come, which was very popular at the time since readers were getting fed up with good-guy protagonists. This made the novel very popular and made it stay high on the charts.
But what really made Soo-young's novel more famous was one of the major antagonists, well, even if he was an antagonist in the novel he was a good person that helped the people he could, sometimes even going out of his way to do so.
His and the Mc's conflicts were liked by many as the roles were completely switched. The protagonist was trying to kill people while the antagonist was trying to save them.
'Wasn't the reason something like, he wanted to help the protagonist get out of his crooked state of mind because the protagonist reminded him of something from his past?' Dok-ja wasn't sure about it since this part was never cleared, and suddenly the character just vanished from the novel with no explanation, even the characters inside the novel who he helped just moved on without any significant reaction along with the Protagonists.
Many readers complained about it but with some of the theory makers started to make their own head cannons thinking that the author had pulled off a master move or had many hidden intentions behind this.
But….
'What was she thinking? I doubt it was anything as profound as they made it sound,' Dok-ja thought looking at the grinning Soo-young.
'Should I ask her about it?' That character was actually the character that made him stay and read Soo-young's novel, he could still remember the character's details.
'He was Half Korean and Half Japanese, he was always kind and forgiving, he had long red hair… and his supposed sponsor was Amaterasu from Japanese mythology,' The more Dok-ja thought the more deadpan his face became.
'Yeah, no doubt…' He blinked a few times and two images intertwined in his head as he remembered what Soo-young wanted to ask him about.
"You are not only a plagiarist but also a damn stalker," Dok-ja looked disgusted, It seemed that Soo-young was indeed lying about meeting Haru before, of course, she would because she…
"Stalker? Me? Do you want to die?" Soo-young didn't take this lightly. Being called a stalker was hurting her pride, why would she fall so low?
She may have never had a relationship but that was by choice, if she made some compromise she could have men lining up to propose to her.
"The character 'Akihito' from your novel, he is exactly the same as Haru-ssi, the hair, the mannerisms, and even his actions, not to mention that you want to get more information about him, I am sure you are a stalker of his, I mean that isn't surprising since the company had helped him deal with a few of such cases, but this is disgusting stay away from me," Dok-ja had heard this from none other than Deputy Yun who was working in the company longer than him.
The event caused quite a stir but he also heard that Haru didn't decide to press charges on the woman who did it.
'Just what you'd expect from him,' Dok-ja sighed as he looked at Soo-young who seemed like she was about to explode.
"What do you mean Stalker? Do you think that long red-haired men who are kind that rare?" Soo-young was about to blow her head off in anger but…
"You seem to know a lot of them, name a few," Dok-ja asked flatly, and Soo-young was stuck in place.
"Can't name any can you?" Dok-ja scoffed but then he heard Soo-young chuckle.
"You are such an idiot," Dok-ja raised his eyebrow after hearing that.
"Do you really think that guy is a simple cinnamon roll like he is acting to be?" Soo-young smirked while looking at Dok-ja.
"You were lucky this time but you should know that once you meet him again, he won't leave you alone for betraying him," Soo-young said and Dok-ja looked unfazed.
'I know that I narrowly escaped this time because I was lucky to have the information needed to help Haru-ssi along with the Dokkaebi's outburst, But…' Dok-ja continued his thoughts while looking at Soo-young, 'I didn't know that she had also figured out that Haru-ssi is actually much more dangerous than he seems if you are on the wrong side.'
Dok-ja was aiming for feeding information to Soo-young and making her believe that Haru was a simple 'Good guy', but seemed that won't work, so…
"Aren't you in the same position as me?" Dok-ja looked at Soo-young who smirked.
"No I'd say you are in much deeper trouble than me, you used to be a group member and I was an enemy from the start, so you are the one who is the top target currently," Dok-ja could only click his tongue in his head, but before he could speak any further to persuade Soo-young…
"A group is coming this way!" Dok-ja could hear the loud footsteps coming in their direction and soon they were able to see the group coming for them kicking up a dust cloud.
"T-There she is, She destroyed the Coins farm," one of the people who had ripped clothes pointed at Soo-young who looked unfazed by this.
'Is he someone who escaped before?' Dok-ja thought as the 'people' who came with that guy killed him on the spot.
[So it is you, huh?]
[Tier 6 Humanoid demon, Werewolf Minu Song has set his eyes on his target.]
'Mi…nu Song….' Dok-ja looked at the werewolf before him.
"Humanoid Demons, did you use the Sealing Stones?" Soo-young muttered as the werewolf-like monster with sharp fangs and red eyes was coming toward her.
[It looks like your companion there is too scared,] Minu Song laughed looking at Dok-ja who wasn't moving as he was sent into a flashback but…
"Haha, leave him be, I alone am enough for you," Soo-young laughed as she ran towards the Minu Song while unsheathing her sword.
"Hey don't attack them," Dok-ja shouted as soon as he regained his bearings but it was too late.
[Tier 6 Humanoid demon, Werewolf Minu Song has activated the skill, Carnivorous Threat lv. 5.]
And….
BOOOM* BOOOOM* BANNNNGGG* BAAANNNNGGG*
"Hahaha, Die Die!" Soo-young was already going crazy while killing the two werewolf-like monsters along with the few humans that came along.
"See they were just small fries, and you were scared of them? Let big sister handle everything and go sit in the corner," Soo-young puffed out her chest but Dok-ja massaged his forehead because that wasn't the reason he was stopping her…
She soon got the answer…
