    Summary

    There are five stages of grief.

    Yoo Joonghyuk is stuck on denial, Jung Heewon blazes with anger, Han Sooyoung and Yoo Sangah have already begun bargaining, and the kids are sinking into depression. But none are ready for acceptance.

    To journey into the underworld, to descend with nothing but a fervent hope of bringing your loved one back to life… is an insane idea. But right now, Yoo Joonghyuk will entertain even insanity if it brings back Kim Dokja.

    Or, in which the KimCom are ride or die, and this has consequences.

    73rd Demon King | Tenth Scenario AU.

    “And yet,” he said, scorn in his voice, “you still said it to me. Let’s meet again… cruel hope, Kim Dokja, utterly cruel when—when we all knew what your fate proclaimed.”

    His mind blanked. Fate? What did his fate—

    「 Incarnation Kim Dokja will be killed by the person he loves most. 」

    —ah.

    That fate.

    “Tell me, you fool,” Yoo Joonghyuk said, quietly, desperately. “Were you going to leave me with that realisation forever?”

    Summary

    Kim Dokja is back and left to ponder such things like fitting in and making amends. None of this proves easy. He was dead for too long and it's common knowledge that resurrection is a lengthy process. Especially because Kim Dokja was someone who buried himself at the age of 15 and didn't hope for anyone to care.

    Summary

    It hadn’t been a big deal, Kim Dokja had thought, when he started feeling a little under the weather. It’d just been a sneeze. A cough. Maybe a bit of a runny nose. It still wasn’t a big deal when he’d gotten the fever later. These things happen. It’s not like he’s spent how-ever-many years taking care of himself and somehow never run into a cold. He’s made it work, dragged himself to work, and has done so multiple times over the course of his life. Shocker of shockers, he’s never died even once throughout this entire process. He can take care of himself.

    Kim Dokja’s Company doesn’t seem to think so.

    “Do you think you deserve this?” the Oldest Dream asks.

    Dokja is exhausted, miserable, shaky in his own skin. He’s so tired of being tired. “I’m starting to think I do,” he says.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk is absolutely certain he’s never met this “Kim Dokja” before. But the man acts like he knows Yoo Joonghyuk. He isn’t showing any fear, instead babbling about the future, the forty sixth scenario, and normally Yoo Joonghyuk would have already thrown the anomaly to the monsters under the bridge, but now he’s hesitating.
    Could it be?..
    No. Demon King of Salvation hasn’t contacted Yoo Joonghyuk after giving him his stigma. Moreover, he promised they’d meet after 1863 regressions, so why now?..
    And yet…
    What else could be the source of the anomaly’s knowledge? The man is not a prophet, of that Yoo Joonghyuk is certain. He must have received the information the same way Yoo Joonghyuk did in his first round: from his sponsor.
    There’s only one constellation foolish enough to give away something so valuable for free.

    Or: Yoo Joonghyuk remembers round zero and assumes his sponsor has taken another incarnation, namely Kim Dokja, behind his back. Yoo Joonghyuk is not bitter about it (he is).
