chapter 32
Episode 32 Record of Destiny (1)
3 O’clock in the morning.
Kang Seo-jun’s dorm room.
“This…!”
-Cry!!
The documents Jin Se-rin handed over were a bundle of A4 paper and a piece of old parchment.
The bundle of A4 paper was a research report with the words [Joint record of World Hunter Federation Union and Sungjin Group.]
The old parchment….

─────────────────
It was my first time seeing this item.
But Kang Seo-jun knew right away what it was.
‘It’s an omake.’
Omake.
This is a function that saves the events unlocked in the previous episode so that they can be viewed again at any time.
‘It’s an item added as DLC.’
Since there is no menu to open the omake file here, it seems that a replay function is provided in this way.
[-Parchment on which some of the memories of the last episode are recorded.]
Seeing as only some of the memories are recorded, it appears to be a collectible item.
‘You mean there are things like this scattered all over the place…? .’
Kang Seo-Jun’s screening became a little complicated due to the thought that there were items scattered here and there that could bring about big variables.
[Will: 30]
But the anxious thoughts disappeared in less than two seconds.
‘It doesn’t matter. No matter what variables appear, as long as I become strong, I can overcome any situation.’
[Luck: 50]
Furthermore, with his luck stat reaching the realm of transcendence, there was little chance that any variables would occur against Kang Seo-jun.
‘What’s important now is not the variables of the future, but resolving the immediate situation.’
There were many things to ask Jin Se-rin.
Kang Seo-jun spoke while flapping the parchment.
“Can you explain what you saw on this parchment?”
“As expected… You knew what that was.”
Jin Serin nodded her head as if she knew it would happen.
Kang Seo-jun did not bother to correct that mistake.
“I remember what I saw…”
Jin Serin lowered her eyes as if trying to recall her past memories.
“That’s…”
Then her mouth trembled and her face slowly turned red.
“Well, I think it would be better to see it in person!”
“…….”
Jin Se-rin’s face turned so red as if it was about to explode, so Kang Seo-jun couldn’t bear to ask any more questions.
What kind of memory did you see?
Since all kinds of incidents happened with Jin Se-rin in the last episode, Kang Seo-jun also became anxious.
“Well, then I’ll do that. Just tell me this.”
As Jin Serin said, it doesn’t matter because you can check the contents of her parchment yourself, but she definitely had to ask about this.
“Where did you find this?”
Where did I get the items added as hidden DLC?
If you know where you farmed it, it will be a good clue when looking for other records of fate.
“I received it from Eunha. It was in our company’s records room.”
“Hmm.”
Is this a level 1 security record room of Sungjin Group?
The entry conditions were strict, so unless you played as Seo Eun or Jin Se-rin, you had to be at least halfway through to enter.
‘Then it will be difficult to find other records of fate right now.’
It will take quite some time to become eligible to enter places like the Taesan Group’s record room or the World Hunter Federation Union’s record room.
I decided to put the search for other records of fate on hold.
No. Rather than that.
“Eunha came and went?”
“Yes. I’m waiting outside now.”
“Outside?”
I never expected it to be around here.
“But why did you come in alone?”
“I wanted to ask you when we were alone.”
“Hmm.”
Kang Seojun thought as he brushed back his short hair.
So, Seo Eun-ha also saw this record of fate.
What memories did she see?
No. What happened to the thing she asked me to do earlier?
Did you properly retrieve Mine’s necklace?
“I’ll call you. I have a lot of questions to ask Eunha.”
Kang Seo-jun waddled toward the front door.
“Now, wait!”
At that time, Jin Se-rin grabbed Kang Seo-jun’s hand as he passed her.
“Huh?”
Kang Seo-jun opened his eyes wide and looked at her at her unexpected behavior.
She lowered her eyes and played with Kang Seo-jun’s hand with both her hands.
“Promise me now… Never again…”
Jin Se-rin muttered in an inaudible voice.
Then, her hands that were clasped together began to gain a little strength.
She slowly lifted her eyes and made eye contact with Kang Seo-jun.
“I decided never to sacrifice myself again and go against time…! Really…”
Her eyes were still watery.
The two wet eyes sparkled like flames.
“If you really love me…!”
Kang Seo-jun’s eyes widened.
Her eyes were shining with only confidence, without any doubt.
It is certain.
She saw the memories of Jin Se-rin’s heroine route.
That’s why he believes, without a doubt, that Kang Seo-jun loves him.
-Cry!!
Kang Seo-jun did not avoid Jin Se-rin’s gaze and met her directly.
Surprisingly, her belief was not mistaken.
“Of course…”
Kang Seo-jun swore in a heavy and serious voice.
This is a game that has been played for over 10,000 hours.
If I didn’t truly love the heroine that appears in the game, I wouldn’t have invested that much time into it.
We laughed, cried, grew together, and lived together with the heroines.
Every single moment was happiness, love, and life itself.
That’s why Kang Seo-jun swore sincerely.
“I will never fail this time.”
Kang Seo-jun did not forget the warning window he saw when he was transferred to this world.
[Warning! Players are given only one life and cannot be revived if they die.]
Only one life. Only one chance.
No matter what happens, Kang Seo-jun could never sacrifice this episode.
Dying in this episode was tantamount to the extinction of Kang Seo-jun’s existence.
“Now the same tragedy will never be repeated.”
-Black.
Jin Serin barely swallowed her overflowing tears.
“Ugh….”
A single sparkling teardrop fell on Jin Se-rin’s cheek illuminated by the moonlight.
A bright smile spread across his purring lips.
“I’ll believe it….”
Jin Se-rin took a step closer.
As Kang Seo-jun took a half step back, Jin Se-rin took a larger step closer.
“Ugh…”
-Tuk.
Soon Jin Se-rin’s lips and Kang Seo-jun’s lips collided.
[The constellation 《Golden Fox of the Sun and Moon Palace》 looks forward to future events.]
[The constellation 《The Tree That Cares for the Flower World》 looks forward to future events.]
[The constellation 《Queen of the Deepest》 looks forward to future events.]
.

[The constellation 《The Tree that Cares for the Flower World》 sponsors you with dimensional currency.]
[The constellation “The One Who Shines Brightly” Sponsors you with dimensional currency.]

However, if there is something Jin Se-rin is mistaken about.
[Will: 30]
‘Really…. I don’t give up on anything.’
He was truly in love with not just one woman, but several women at the same time.
Lim Chae-won, Kim Joo-hee, Seo Eun-ha, Park Seo-yoon, even heroines who have not yet appeared.
‘I don’t give up on everything.’
Kang Seo-jun’s eyes burned with determination.
-Knock knock.
It was the sound of a knock that broke the mood of the two who had been kissing their lips for a while.
“Ah. Unnie Eunha….”
Only then did Jin Serin drop her body while laughing embarrassedly.
“You said you had something to ask, right? I’ll call you.”
She ran with all her might and opened her front door.
– Jump up.
“I’m done talking, sister.”
“I’m sorry if I was a disruption… Did you cry?”
I could feel Seo Eun-ha’s stinging gaze beyond the front door.
Kang Seo-jun calmly approached Seo Eun-ha while receiving attention.
“It’s late, but I have a lot to talk about. Can we talk inside?”
Seo Eun-ha had to receive Mine’s necklace, and there were many things to ask about the record of her fate.
Seo Eun-ha looked at Jin Se-rin for a moment and then said.
“Of course. I have to tell you what you asked for.”
Seo Eun-ha came inside looking much more relaxed than when she first met.
She shows no guard at all, as if she completely trusts Kang Seo-jun.
Inevitably, she also saw something through the record of her fate.
“I couldn’t believe it ever since I saw you becoming the chairman of the Sungjin Group through parchment…”
Seo Eun-ha nodded her head as if she was convinced.
“Looking at you, I don’t think there’s anything more to ask about your relationship.”
Seo Eun-ha seems to have seen the Sungjin Group faction route.
Has she seen her memories from when she played as Jin Serin?
Of course, even if you play as a playable character, the default name can be changed when selecting the character, and the appearance can be changed as much as you want through plastic surgery after starting the game.
Therefore, even if Seo Eun-ha had seen her memories of playing as Jin Se-rin, the image would have been an Asian man named Kang Seo-jun.
Jin Serin twisted her body as if embarrassed.
“I’ll bring something to drink!”
“No. You go in now and rest.”
Kang Seo-jun stopped Jin Se-rin, who was trying to get something from her room.
“Huh?”
“I have to send Eunha off right away. I won’t talk for a long time.”
“Ah. That’s right. Time….”
Jin Serin pursed her lower lip as if she was embarrassed.
Kang Seo-jun quickly spoke because he thought it would continue like this if left as is.
“I’m planning to rest today and do physical training tomorrow afternoon. Can you help me?”
Jin Serin nodded her head sharply.
“Of course. Then I’ll go in first. Call me anytime tomorrow!”
Jin Serin waved her hand and walked away.
“Okay… Then.”
“I’m sorry….”
“Yes?”
As Jin Se-rin disappeared into the darkness of the hallway, Seo Eun-ha apologized without context.
It wasn’t a light apology for being rude by making work late.
Her face was full of self-destruction and self-blame, as if her relaxed expression just now was a lie.
“I’m sorry that you left me… And that you became like that…”
“Yes?”
Kang Seo-jun’s eyes widened at the sudden change in atmosphere.
Seo Eun-ha stared at Kang Seo-jun with her eyes shaking with sadness and regret.
“It all started with my fault… It’s late, but I will take responsibility even now.”
Kang Seo-jun was able to read some kind of truth in Seo Eun-ha’s eyes.
Ah. I see you didn’t just look at the Sungjin Group faction route.
You also saw Seo Eun-ha’s heroine route.
A terrible mess has opened up.
