    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.

    Summary

    “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).

    Summary

    Kim Dokja grasps at his hands desperately. “Joonghyuk-ah. Was this not the world you wanted?”

    “What?”

    “Did I dream it wrong? Is that it? Is that why you’re so sad all the time? Do you—do you want me to dream it differently?”

    /

    (Post epilogue, Kim Dokja gets too caught up in his own head. He thinks that maybe, he should never have been here at all.)

    Summary

    The man had appeared to him, late at night, his golden eyes peering at him from the darkness. Dokja thought it was his sleep paralysis demon coming to finish what his father started, laying on the floor, breathing through his mouth as he chokes on the blood sliding down his mouth, and dripping from his nose in a small puddle.

    “Kim Dokja,” he whispered, kneeling before his battered form, eyes wide and hand hovering over him. Kim Dokja was busy trying to figure out if the demon that haunts him just became real or if God sent down his scariest angel just to torment him a little longer.

    The man touches his cheek, couldn’t flinch if Dokja wanted to, his hands are cool. Dokja preferred it that way, his mother’s hands are cold, and his father’s hands are hot iron of hell fury— taking it out on any living being in the vicinity.

    "..who are you?"

    or

    Yoo Joonghyuk is there to watch Kim Dokja grow up. He finds a lot more about his companion than he ever thought.

    Summary

    When he was younger Kim Dokja didn’t know if his “talent” was a blessing or a skill. But even in his young age he very quickly decided that it was, in fact, a curse.
    Empath. Empathy. The ability to share and understand the emotions of others. But emotions left a thick, disgusting coating along his tongue and throat. Thick and chunky like spoiled milk with a taste he could never describe outside of it being “too much”.

    Summary

    Somehow despite it all, Dokja’s old apartment building managed to survive the end of the world and into the rebuilding efforts. Truth be told Dokja had forgotten all about it. He wouldn’t have spared it a second thought if not for the letter Sangah handed to him.
    Inside his apartment, he found a black binder he had nearly forgotten about too.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja’s time is moving again.
    Seconds and minutes and hours and days.
    Gone is the subway –the expanse of eternity that had surrounded him like a silent blanket for long, lonely millennia.
    Gone is the Fourth Wall, leaving him to deal with his own emotions like everyone else, without unfair advantages.
    Gone are most of his powers, except the flickers that remain when he sleeps too deep, when his consciousness slips a little too far, and he feels the weight of the universe push him down. This one thing, he keeps to himself.
    Kim Dokja, once Demon King of Salvation, once Watcher of Light and Darkness, once Oldest Dream, is now simply Kim Dokja, 31 years old, unemployed. No more, no less.
    The apocalypse has ended. The scenarios are gone.
    What is left is him picking up the pieces of his life to try and make them fit back.

    Kim Dokja wakes up, heals, grieves, and loves.

    Summary

    Of course Kim Dokja awoke feeling worse than before. From childhood all the way to adulthood, he had never been able to bounce back easily from anything. Often, his one sick day would turn into a week, bedridden and miserable.

    He figured some of it was due to his poor health. Too skinny, always weak. There was no way a person like that could build a strong immune system. It was unfair. But then he figured, the rest of it might be due to his lack of self care. (Surely there was a reason books and tv shows always showed sick people getting pampered with soups and cool towels. )

    Though in his defense—no one ever taught him how.

    or: Kim Dokja is sick. He copes.

    Kim Dokja doesn’t know how his life had reached a point of pseudo-adopting a random ten-year-old girl, except that she just spawned into his life one evening and never left him alone since.

    It isn’t too bad though.

    Until her older brother shows up at his doorstep. And he doesn’t look too happy.

    (Or, Yoo Mia tries to run away, meets a pathetic ahjussi, decides that he desperately needs her in his life and won’t take no for an answer.)

    “What if,” Akira says, “What if I’m not part of their lives because I was never supposed to be.”
    “Well, for someone who supposedly had such a soft spot for you, that would be a rather mean-spirited move for Maruki to pull,” Akechi says.
    “He brought back Futaba’s mom and Haru’s dad,” Akira says. “Who says he couldn’t have–”
    “You were here before January first,” Akechi interrupts. “I think that’s evidence.”
    But what if it’s not, Akira thinks. What if I’m the same as them.
