Since it was the first time Kim Dokja came to a dokkaebi’s official post, he looked at some of the documents on the table while Bihyung managed the constellations.
[Singularity Trend Report]
[Dangers of the Current Trending Cult]
…Singularity?...Dangerous Cult! The moment Kim Dokja curiously turned a few pages, the documents disappeared into dust.
It seemed to be a database system, not real documents. Kim Dokja concluded.
Bihyung looked at Kim Dokja direction.
-…What are you doing?
–Nothing.
Kim Dokja hide the dust on the table.
Bihyung saw the powder on the table and looked at Kim Dokja suspiciously. Then he sighed and opened his mouth.
–Hey, are we okay?
–Why? Are you regretting it now?
–That…you know. The constellations that come out using this method will quickly leave.
The fallen constellations would return to the Tokyo Dome channel. At that time, Dokgak’s revenge would begin. But that was for then. Kim Dokja thought.
–Besides, you lied before. What the hell are you going to do? What if the subscriptions really reaches 10,000? It is already at 5,000.
Kim Dokja shrugged without speaking and Bihyung continued.
–Wasn’t there a condition for you to not choose a sponsor when you signed the contract with me? How can you say something like this?
–It will work out somehow. You can also break the contract.
–I can’t do that.
–Jerk… I risked my life for you yet you can’t do this?
Bihyung’s expression darkened.
–That…
Indeed, I was a fool to expect anything.
Kim Dokja then told him.
-Don’t worry, I have an idea.
-…Really?
–Yes, so give me my item. Dokgak is gone so shouldn’t you hand me the item now?
–Ah, that’s right.
Bihyung belatedly manipulated the system.
Then after a while, a white coat descended from the air. The clean design carefully paid attention to fashion as well as combat function.
Kim Dokja took the coat and checked the pocket first.
[The special ‘space’ feature of the Infinite Dimension Space Coat is activated.]
The advantage of this coat was that the owner could store various items in it without the Inventory skill.
It was a good item for me since there were many troublesome items to carry such as the Ganpyeongui, Dongui Bogam and Magic Power Stove. But I think it still less dangerous than Cale’s group items. Kim Dokja thought while remembering that group’s items.
I really wanted to know about his book and mask function. It was ridiculously over power. Kim Dokja thought.
“…By the way, it is white unlike the catalogue photo.” Kim Dokja asked because of the item in his hand.
[The other colour is out of stock.]
Out of stock. How many of these items were there? Even Cale Henituse’s sack that he teared before are more than one, did he also get or buy it somewhere? Kim Dokja thought.
[Don’t you know? This is a mass production item.]
Bihyung explains.
Kim Dokja checked the options of the items.

[Item Information]
Name: Infinite Dimension Space Coat ver1.1 (made by Mass Production Maker)
Rating: SSS
Description: A customized coat for returnees. Despite being a mass produced product, it was mysteriously given a SSS rating. In consideration of the returnees who can’t activate the attributes window, the additional ‘Subspace’ function can be activated from the inner pocket of the coat. Of course, the space isn’t wide so use it cautiously.
+
Kim Dokja looked at it again. Only the subspace could be used but it had a SSS rating? When considering that the ancient dragon Ignitus’s heart had a SS grade…
[…Honestly, it is just due to the influence of the maker. He is a powerful constellation.]
Bihyung continued.
It made sense. The Mass Production Maker was a famous constellation among returnees… Even if the rating was a bit off, this was one of the best items to get early on. Kim Dokja nodded.
In any case, I received it. Although it won’t be as good as their items.
[Then let’s go back.]
Bihyung flicked his fingers and the surroundings started to change.
Kim Dokja blinked once and returned to ground.
Han Sooyoung freaked out and retreated when Kim Dokja suddenly appeared in thin air.
“Hey! Where the hell did you go?”
“I had to do something for a moment.” Kim Dokja answered.
“…Was it resolved well?”
Sometimes Han Sooyoung had a habit of speaking like this without knowing what happened. Was it a writer’s ego? Kim Dokja just nodded.
“New clothes? Damn, I’m envious.”
Han Sooyoung gazed at the coat Kim Dokja was staring with envious eyes and then Yoo Jonghyuk, who was still unconscious.
Han Sooyoung looked between Yoo Jonghyuk’s black coat and Kim Dokja’s white coat before opening her mouth.
“By the way, are you a couple?”
“…It is just a coincidence. It is a common design.” Kim Dokja refuted.
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is delighted for an unknown reason.]
[A constellation who likes to change gender has shining eyes.]
[Some constellations interest with the same design.]
[Some constellations were interested if they could also get something similar with their ‘Godly Idols’ priest uniform.]
[Some constellations searching for their ‘Godly Idols’ and send some protests to the Bureau.]
[Some constellations...]
...
…Come to think of it, there were many unique constellations. Who was the constellation who liked to change gender? Did this constellation appear in Ways of Survival? Kim Dokja thought that he should look through the novel soon.
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is controlling the constellation who likes to change gender.]
[Some constellations want to ask you about their ‘Godly Idols’ whereabouts.]
[Some constellations looking around.]
[Some constellations panicking.]
[Some constellations...]
...
! Eh?! How could they disappeared?! Kim Dokja realized something from the messages from the constellations.
Kim Dokja didn’t know that Dokgak was pressuring the dokkaebis in that area before he made the ‘Probability Conformity Request’ to stop their streaming.
At that time, when the fans were busy being an angry mobs to Dokgak, Cale’s group slipped away from that place and changed their appearance.
Except for the children that secretly following them (although they know that the children are following them) and Baek-ah who following Clopeh with shining eyes, the other (especially the fans) were unable to find them.
Their current appearance is different from before.
To understand what happened to them, let’s returned to when the angry mobs (fans) angry at Dokgak.
***
Looking at the crowd focus on Dokgak, Cale started to quietly move away from the crowd.
Alberu, Choi Han and Mary seems to understand what Cale is trying to do and follow him.
Clopeh quickly chase them with Baek-ah.
The children who following Cale and Mary also following them but they were afraid if they will be angry to them so they secretly following them.
It looks like a strange chase but they stopped at an empty building that out of the other sights.
In the empty building, Cale took out White Star mask from his spacial pocket.
“I think we need to hide our identity because we seems to be quite famous here.” Cale said as he remembered how the fans able to quickly recognize them.
Of course, Cale said it without realizing about how famous their identity in this world as a super model even after the scenario started.
In fact, there are a lot of their diehard fans that using their faith and become a missionary in other places.
Luckily, currently the dokkaebis are stop streaming because of Dokgak and they are having a lot of problems because of the fans and constellations that still cursing at Dokgak.
Most dokkaebis feel relieved that they stopped streaming and able to stop their viewers from watching the chaotic and embarrassment from the craziness of the fans (cultists).
But they didn’t know that what they are doing will create more problems to gender them in the future.
With the dokkaebis stop streaming for a while, Cale’s group able to hide themselves.
“So, whose appearance should we use for hiding our identity?” Alberu asked.
“How about using the appearance of the people from Earth 1or 2? They are Korean too.” Choi Han asked.
“Cale-nim, how about changing our age to be older or younger? And could we change our with White Star’s ancient power to create more confusion to them?” Clopeh asked while tightly holding the video camera in his hands.
After thinking about their words, Cale decided to combining both of their opinions. But he still hesitating especially for Choi Han and Mary disguise.
The problem is Choi Han acting ability and Mary GPS like tone.
“Young Master-nim, can you turn me into a child’s appearance?” Mary asked while looking at the direction of the children that hides themselves nearby.
Mary is worried about the children because she interact with them the most.
Hearing Mary words, Cale asked. “How about using Hong appearance with black hair and eyes?”
Mary nodded.
“Cale-nim, could you also turned me into Choi Jung Soo appearance?... the Earth 1 Choi Jung Soo if I can. Because I’m more familiar with him.” Choi Han asked.
Cale remember that Choi Han had saw Choi Jung Soo from Earth 1 memories when he get his skills and agree with it.
“Then it will be better if I become Lee Soo Hyuk and you as Kim Roksoo, Dongsaeng. And...” Alberu suggest and look at Clopeh direction.
All of them turned their head and looked at Clopeh direction.
“I have faith in whatever appearance you choose for me, Cale-nim!” Clopeh said while looking with shining eyes.
For some reason Cale, Alberu and Choi Han seems to be remembered the appearance of someone in Earth 2 that acts similar to him.
They continue with the discussion about what appearance they should have for a while.
In the end they decided to use the appearance of the people from Earth 1 to hide their ages except for Mary.
Cale used the Ancient Power from the White Star’s mask and change their appearance.
The children who following them and Baek-ah seems to widened their eyes because they are surprised by it.
Their appearance is not as eye catching as before but still they are still make most people to look twice at them because they are still handsome.
But it only known by them later.
“Hehe, what our Dongsaeng thinking about?” Choi Jung Soo (Choi Han) suddenly asked.
Both Cale and Alberu are surprised by Choi Han sudden good acting.
Although there’s similarities in Choi Han and Choi Jung Soo appearance, but their personality is very different.
- It’s because he had saw Choi Jung Soo memory before. 🐲
Choi Han was able to act like Choi Jung Soo because he had experience it when he saw his memory in the Earth 1.
“Hey, Team leader-nim why are you also make such face?” Choi Jung Soo (Choi Han) suddenly asked.
Choi Han tone really similar to Choi Jung Soo in Kim Roksoo (Cale) memory.
As Choi Jung Soo (Choi Han) and Lee Soo Hyuk (Alberu) interacting, Kim Roksoo (Cale) was watching it silently.
It really surprising for him and it makes him feel nostalgic because it reminded him of the time when he was in Earth 1, before the two of them died. Although Alberu was imitating the Lee Soo Hyuk from Earth 2 because he only knew the one from the Earth 2.
Maybe because I use the appearance before their death. Kim Roksoo (Cale) though.
He is looking at both of them while feeling that their current appearance overlapping with the memories in his records.
“Hey, Roksoo! Why are you keep looking at us like that?” Choi Jung Soo (Choi Han) come closer.
“That’s right, we still need to discussing about how we can get back to our world.” Lee Soo Hyuk (Alberu) added.
When they want to talk about something, they are being disturbed by the shouts from the children viewers.
“Wow!!! Is this your skills, Cale Hyung-nim!?” Baek-ah looking at their direction with shining eyes and clasping his hands as he feels extremely touched by such skills.
“Eh!!! Mary-nonim became a boy like us!!! What?! Why?!”
“Cale Oppa became Ahjussi?!”
“That shining Hyung-nim became Cool Ahjussi!?!”
“I’m not dreaming, right?”
“Should we check our eyes to doctor?”
“...”
Baek-ah and the children who following them are surprised by their changes.
Their appearance and personality seems to be different from before.
While they know that Cale able to change his appearance into Naru-nim, because of the video that the fans showed them.
But they never thought that looking at it directly would make them feel surprised and unable to understand or accept it.
Especially for the twins because they still afraid of what happened with their parents before.
But their worried disappeared because of the laughter from the side.
“Kekeke, as expected of Cale-nim! With this we could able to even trick the dokkaebis and constellations. Kekeke...this will be a greatest Legend in this world. Kekeke... this is why we only have to have faith in Cale-nim.” Jo Ho-Shik (Clopeh) muttered.
For unknown reason, Cale, Alberu and Choi Han seems to think that it’s quite similar with the real one.
And Jo Ho-Shik (Clopeh) calm down the panic children because they thought that Clopeh has been the same as before.
“Umm..., Hyung-nim, you are really Cale Hyung-nim, right?”
“I know right, although we know who he was but...how should I say it...?”
“But don’t you think he still kind of similar...mm...how do you say it?”
The children seems to be having a hard time to describe their feelings because they lack of the words to describe their current appearance.
If they should simply describe their feelings, the children will said something like ‘Their appearance are different but they still have similarities with their real appearance.’
“Don’t worry. ” Hong (Mary) get closer to the children and said i to calm them down with his (her) GPS like tone.
Looking that they are still the same, the children calm down and they promised them that they would not tell anyone about the truth.
Cale’s group are introducing themselves so that the children won’t make any mistakes when calling them.
It became a perfect disguised.
And the chaos of the fans was staring.
But of course they don’t know what they are doing will cause something terrible especially for the dokkaebis.
***
At the place where Kim Dokja’s group, Cale’s group fans and dokkaebis are, a terrible chaos is happening.
“Where are ‘Our Godly Idols’?”
“Don’t hide them or did you think I wouldn’t dare to torture you to get your confession?”
“They must be doing it again!”
“That’s why we need to kill those heretics. We should kill them especially when they are a dokkaebis.”
“Where ‘Our Godly Idols’ go? Did they leave us because they can’t stand with the rude behavior of the non-believers?”
“I can’t live without them!”
“The world has ended!”
All of the fans were looking around and searching for them while panicking.
It was a really chaotic situation.
Some of them are glaring at the others (non-believers) especially the dokkaebis with killing intents.
“WAIT!!!”
A shout stopped the chaos.
“How could you act embarrassing like this when you said that you have faith in ‘Our Godly Idols’?” Yun Jeong-Suk said with a loud voice.
“But leader-nim...” Some CRSF members try to refuted her words but she can’t continue her words because she could see her anger in her eyes.
“You need to have faith and think about it calmly. ‘Our Godly Idols’ might be testing our faith right now.” Yun Jeong-Suk confidently said.
“Ah! Is this our test to see if our faith is real?!” One of the fans seems to realize something.
“How embarrassing. I never thought about it. As expected of our leader, you know what they were thinking about.”
“That’s why you are our leader.”
“I am also still lacking and need to learn more from Clopeh-nim.” Yun Jeong-Suk acting shy when the fans started to praise her.
“Ahem, then we need to interrogate those who seems to know something.” Yun Jeong-Suk cough to hide her embarrassment and started to give an order.
With her words, the fans moved quickly to the person that they thought would have an information about their ‘Our Godly Idols’ whereabouts.
Some of them asking the constellations, the other were asking the dokkaebis.
And some of them are currently surrounded Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung with a scary looks.
“Kim Dokja-ssi, please tell us the truth. Where are ‘Our Godly Idols’ went to?”
“Do you need me to tell you about what will happened if you were lying to us?”
“Wait, I really don’t know where they are going. They have gone before Dokgak take me to the dokkaebi’s official post.” Kim Dokja is panicking because of how scary their faces and killing intents are.
It was a craziness that was written in Ways of Survival as the dangers of Cale’s group fans fanaticism.
But to directly experience it was really different from reading it, especially with how intense their killing intents right now.
Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung are having a terrible time in telling the crazy cultists about the fact that they didn’t know about their whereabouts.
It was because they were not believing what they said and kept asking them with their questions.
In the end, they sceptically stop their questioning but they still glaring at both of them.
Kim Dokja felt tired because of their craziness and he really wanted to speak out his mind if he could meet with Cale’s group again.
Why did you leave your mad dog like cultists here? Speaking of which. Kim Dokja decided to look at Yoo Jonghyuk condition.
Fortunately, his recovery seemed to be going smoothly. His breathing was stable and his wounds were healing. He is lucky to be able to avoid their craziness. Kim Dokja thought while looking at Yoo Jonghyuk and felt envious to him for avoiding the craziness of that cultists members.
“Let’s go quickly. Before this jerk wakes up.” Kim Dokja suddenly said as he looking at Yoo Jonghyuk condition.
Yoo Jonghyuk had fainted with two clenched fists. It wasn’t hard to imagine what would happen if this guy woke up first.
Kim Dokja quickly get away with Yoo Sangah and Han Sooyoung to avoid both the cultists and Yoo Jonghyuk.
<to be continue>
Author’s note: I’m really sorry for not able to write because of all the things happened.
(...Maybe because I live in the world without Our Great God so I lack of their blessings.)
Do you have any idea about the Soo's trio interactions? Please let me know.
Thank you very much for reading, votes and comments. I hope you enjoy the story and have a nice day. GBU.
