Wondering what ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint‘ is all about? Well, to brief you all; ‘Three Ways To Survive The Apocalypse” was a serialized web novel that no one seemed to read. With a total of 3149 episodes, the average view count was 1.9. Then again, who would read a web novel that has over 3000 episodes?
Well, there was one man. However, it took him ten years to get to the last episode. Back then, he had no idea. On the day he finished the web novel, he understood how this story goes.
In the last chapter of the web novel he was reading, he saw a note that read, “There are three ways to survive the apocalypse. Everything is fading and becoming unclear now. But one thing is certain. If you are reading this, you will survive.” And that was the end of it.
It is high time we know our main character, right? His name is Kim Dokja. In Korean, Dokja translates to ‘only child’, ‘reader’, or ‘individualist’. This is also how Dokja himself introduces himself to others; and nine out of ten times, people misunderstand him.
Though his father gave him that name because he wanted him to grow up to be a strong and independent person, he thinks of his name as a curse because he has been lonely and single all his life. This is literally who he is in a nutshell.
This web novel was close to his heart. Its ending was bittersweet for him. He chose to write to its author to express his gratitude. Unexpectedly, the author of the web novel thanks him for being the lone reader and requests him to accept a token of gratitude.
The author sends him a message that says that the comic would now become paid content starting at 7 pm that day. Dokja checked the time, and it was 6:55 pm; meaning he had five more minutes before the web novel became paid. Though there was nothing else other than that, at exactly 7 pm, everything changed.
The world was switching and changing. As Dokja realized in a few minutes, the web novel was turning into reality. And now, the only one who knew how this world ended was Dokja. He was also the only one who knew how to stop this world from ending. Now that you know what happened, come along to know what happened.
Previously on Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Chapter 157: Recap
In Chapter 157 of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, we saw that the main scenario #8 – ‘The Strongest Sacrificial Lamb’ had been unlocked. The task was to survive the incoming monsters, and the punishment for failure was death. There was one hint provided in the beginning which said that the 10th strongest incarnation within Seoul Dome is ‘Maritime Admiral, Lee Jihye.’ The next hint would now arrive after 4 hours.
Everything was way too messed up. What made it worse was that a scenario that Dokja did not know of had appeared, and he could not think of any way to make things right as well. The only thing that comes to his mind is to regress.
In the last chapter, they barely got passed the first wave, and a tenth of the people in Seoul Dome had already died. This is when Dokja and Yoo Jonghyuk decide to have a talk. Dokja tried to look for his supporting constellation but then realized that it wasn’t revealed in the web novel.
He wonders if it might have appeared in the epilogue. But unfortunately, he had not read the epilogue of ‘TWSA’. It was also a constellation that possessed the power to turn the wheel of time and deceive even the other constellations.
This scenario will only end when they kill the strongest incarnation. And as Yoo Junghyuk believes that he is the strongest incarnation, he had planned on killing himself. But will the others let that happen? Will he become the sacrificial lamb?
