Chapter Text
Having the whole star streams constellations always looking at him. Dokja was never bothered about his looks nor the attention, the fourth wall always protected him now, his face, emotions everything was in control.
[You have failed the sub-scenario! Penalty: All your skills and attributes will be deactivated for seven days.]
Dokja felt as if he’d been reading the most obscene hate comment ever known to mankind in that moment “My skills will be deactivated for seven days? The scenario wasn’t even worth that much!” The scenario was supposed to be an unimportant sub-scenario that wasn’t even actually talked about in TWSA, it was just heard by some side character. The reason why he took it up? Simple, it offered a good training ground for a weapon he recently obtained. Dokja truly overestimate his own abilities, all it took was one distraction and he failed the entire scenario. Dokja could feel himself slowly get weaker and weaker “Will fourth wall be removed too?” It was right at the moment when Dokja truly felt the despair of not being a protagonist, it was almost as if he’d upset the devils whole ancestral tree when the messages came flooding in one by one.
[Fourth wall is shaking]
[Fourth wall is getting weaker]
[Fourth wall has been deactivated]
This world truly hates me..
[Skill: Omniscient reader’s viewpoint has been deactivated]
[Skill: Character List/Profile has been deactivated]
[Skill: Bookmark has been deactivated]
[You have 20+ notifications]
Wow.. they truly meant all skills and attributes
Dokja truly mourned the loss of Fourth wall as well as Omniscient reader, those two helped him get around with what other said and to keep himself in check. Without fourth wall he could survive seven days right?
.
.
.
He could definitely not survive seven days. Within the first thirty minutes Dokja could feel eyes burning into him or more specifically.. his face. The constellations were truly having a show to watch now weren’t they? Finally being able to see their sharp tongued squid all vulnerable and helpless must have them all so thrilled.
[Constellation Secretive Plotter is staring at incarnation Kim Dokja with interest.]
[Constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is also staring at incarnation Kim Dokja with interest]
[Constellation Abyssal Black Flam Dragon says that this is not what he was expecting.]
[Many constellations have joined the Star Stream]
Okay so what if he was ugly and not that typical handsome male lead they saw him as (not that they ever saw him as one) at least he had personality even if it was a damned shitty one! It’s not like they didn’t have any idea at how ugly he was, hell he was called the ugliest king for a reason! Donations and messages kept popping up again and again yet he didn’t bother to read or pay mind to he had bigger problems to worry over
Problems involving a certain nebula..
Suddenly a clear sharp voice rung out from behind him. “Dokja why didn’t you return to the complex? It’s been Thirty minutes since you’ve been standing outside”
Oh no
Oh no
Yoo Joonghyuk...
The biggest problem of them all
His protagonist who he’d spend ten years reading about, growing up with.. trying to be him, for Joonghyuk see his him at his lowest now? After that spectacular first meet? No way! No way was he going to lose his pride like that! for the first time in fifteen years probably did Dokja felt unusually nervous which was so out of character for him now, normally he wouldn’t care about himself or what others thought but at this very moment he didn’t want to turn around and face his beloved protagonist.
“Dokja what is up with you?”
Damned this man and his attractive voice!
“I-I’m fine.. Just enjoying the air” He stuttered.. he actually fucking stuttered because he was nervous. Blasphemous! He has never been nervous before, the Fourth Wall always kept his emotions in check but it wasn’t here to protect him. Now, he had to face his raw feelings in front of his protagonist even if they ended in cold rejection.
“The air? It’s scorching hot” He sounded so confused it was amusing.
“Joonghyuk, go away.”
“What?”
“Go away.”
“You are telling me to go away?”
“Something wrong in that?”
Of course everything was wrong in that, it was always Joonghyuk telling Dokja to scurry away ‘Kim Dokja get lost’, ‘Kim Dokja get out of here’, ‘Kim Dokja leave me alone’ this man uses his name so many times! It’s not like Dokja had never told him to get lost, but currently it was unusual.
“Turn around.”
Damned that stupid question!
“No.”
“Turn around.”
“Leave.”
“Dokja.”
His voice held an authorative tone he always used when they were in battle, it meant no objections what so ever and Dokja could never deny him when he said his name like that.
He turned around slowly and looked him the eye as he tried to play it off as normal. Maybe Joonghyuk wouldn’t notice.
“...”
“What?”
“...”
“Say something.”
“You.”
“Me what?”
“You.”
It was infuriating with how Joonghyuk just froze staring at him expressionless, just kept repeating the word ‘you’ again and again. Was he that ugly?
“Speak”
“You’re face.. I can see it, clearly”
So it was noticeable..
[Constellation Secretive Plotter wants to know was Incarnation Yoo Joonghyuk thinks]
[Constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is biting her lips in excitement]
Okay so first thing, to turn off the star stream.
“So..” He tried to speak but Joonghyuk was almost in a daze, just staring at him.
“Uhmm” Dokja felt his face get hot with how intently Joonghyuk was looking, almost as if he was taking in each and every little
