The End of the World Scenario

Lore & Background

During this final confrontation, Dokja leverages his knowledge of the story's ending to alter the outcome. He sacrifices his own existence within the narrative to grant Joonghyuk a true future where he is not alone. This act effectively ends the cycle of destruction and resets the rules governing the world, marking the transition from a game controlled by higher beings to a reality owned by its inhabitants.

In Their Own Story

The sky above Seoul cracked like broken glass, revealing the cold void between stars. Kim Dokja stood amidst the ruins, his phone screen glowing with one final notification. He looked at Yoo Joonghyuk, who gripped his sword tightly, ready for another reset that wouldn't come this time. 'I'm not going to read anymore,' Dokja whispered, closing the novel forever. The Constellations watched in silence as the world stopped spinning backward.

Reader's Guide

The primary objective of this final sequence is survival beyond the script. Unlike previous scenarios where members follow specific rules for rewards, here the goal is to break the game itself. Kim Dokja must choose between saving himself or ensuring Yoo Joonghyuk survives without the burden of time loops. The outcome sees the Constellation Game ending as a spectacle and transforming into a memory rather than an active threat. This event impacts the overall plot by resolving the central mystery of the novel's authorship and liberating the characters from fate. Differences between timelines are erased, leaving only one true reality where Dokja and Joonghyuk coexist without the pressure of regression.
