After I had pressed the purchase button as if possessed, a notification window popped as if to warn me.
[Purchase failed.]
[Reason: Insufficient amount of coins]
[Coins owned: 3,000]
This damn capitalist world! As I continued scrolling down nervously, I saw other items too.

[Moon’s Random Box X10]

These crazy guys even brought in a random box.
The Constellations are God-like beings. Even those who are deities by name themselves, were called Constellations.
There’s no way those random boxes held any good skills, so it’s obviously added just for fun. Of course, I don’t have enough coins, so I wouldn’t be able to buy them even if I wanted to.
Before that, why did I become a Constellation? The memory of when I collided with the demon earlier was still very clear. Can I really call myself a Constellation?
Could it be that you can be a human and a Constellation at the same time? Is that even possible?
‘…Maybe not.’
I thought of the ending of this novel as I know already. And also, my constellation name.
Could that be related to ‘The One Who Knows The Fall’?
The world may have recognized me as something similar to a God because I know that the world is going to be in a mess. That’s probably why I became a Constellation.
If so, then that means that this world really has turned into the world of a novel.
[The constellation, ‘The One Who Knows The Fall’ is synchronized with the body.]
I frowned at the message window in front of me that appeared from time to time. Every time I had a strange thought or wanted to pass out, it came to my mind, and soon after this window popped up, my mind entered a state of calmness.
Perhaps it is because of this, that I don’t feel any emotions such as fear or terror even till now.
Does this mean that I can’t feel those things anymore, since I am a Constellation now? As a result, I couldn’t feel a sense of reality and seemed to understand the situation naturally.
It was convenient, but I felt bad because it felt like I was casting these feelings aside in my head even though I wasn’t. But there was no other way. If it wasn’t for this, I might have already fainted in the elevator earlier.
Then, in that case, what if I had died?
[The constellation, ‘The One Who Knows The Fall’ is synchronized with the body.]
I shook my head from the chilly thought. That wasn’t the problem right now. The biggest problem was how to prevent the destruction of the world, and the second problem was how to deal with the very first monster outbreak.
By the way, what is Baek Tae-beom doing now?
[According to your will, the real-time streaming service of your contractor will be shown.]
Suddenly, one side of the white wall fades to black, and a moment later, Baek Tae-beom’s face appeared.
“What’s this?”
-Hm, can you really do it?
-I can if you give me a chance.
In front of a building, Baek Tae-beom was speaking to men, whose faces screamed ‘I’m a gangster’. While I watched him shudder and answer, I remembered the development I had forgotten.
[… Baek Tae-beom had nowhere else to retreat. In the beginning, it was difficult to pay for his younger brother’s hospital bills, but things started getting worse after a lot of people were injured by the sudden appearance of monsters. Baek Tae-beom, who was notified of the sudden rise of the hospital costs, could no longer trust the world.
So, Baek Tae-beom turned to the organization of Awakened people known as Illegal Hunters, who ultimately went against the government’s will. He thought that he just had to attack the dungeons with them to earn and pay for the hospital bills and somehow finally cure his brother’s illness….]
And then, of course, Baek Tae-beom was forced to join an unwanted guild, after signing an unjust contract and went on to struggle for around two years. Baek Tae-beom, who could no longer afford to pay for both the increased debt and hospital expenses, had no other choice but to let his younger brother go.
Thus, Baek Tae-beom proceeds to realize that the world is absurd and ends up destroying everything.
In short, if Baek Tae-beom were to be in contact with them, he was going to be exploited and tarnished for two years, and it meant that he was one step closer to destruction.
“No!”
After summarizing everything that might happen, I urgently sent a message to Baek Tae-beom.
[The constellation, ‘The One Who Knows The Fall’ urges Baek Tae-beom to stop immediately.]
[The constellation, ‘The One Who Knows The Fall,’ says that it is all a fraud.]
As soon as he received the message, Baek Tae-beom paused for a moment, then went ahead to act like nothing had happened.
On seeing such a sight, I hit my chest in frustration.
“That punk!”
And as soon as I put my hand on the wall, my vision became dizzy as if I was being sucked in. After the sensation of being moved somewhere and the motion sickness that came along with it, my body seemed to have suddenly fallen on the floor.
“……?”
“What is this?”
I looked up at the men stupidly. They must be the illegal hunters, who were talking to Baek Tae-beom. And next to him, Baek Tae-beom, himself was looking down at me with a puzzled face.
“…Ga-hyun-ssi?”
“Ah… hello?”
I smiled as I got up. Damn it.
[You have been transported to your contractor’s location.]
‘If there was such a feature like this, please tell me sooner!’
I teased him without any further delay.
“Me too… Can I come with you, Tae-beom-ssi?”
“What? Do you know each other?”
“I do, but how did you suddenly…”
As Baek Tae-beom mumbled out his words, I hastily grabbed his forearm.
“Of course we know each other! We have a burning relationship of life and death!”
It was obvious that if I were to let Baek Tae-beom go like this, he might end up ruined, so I have to go with him. My desperate voice changed the men’s expressions subtly.
“Life and death relationship…?”
“Burning…?”
“Wait a minute, Ga-hyun-ssi.”
“So, I hope we can go together! I’ve been wanting to do something illegal for a long time! And I really wanted to do that!”
After hearing my desperate words, the men nodded their heads, murmuring amongst themselves as to how they should deal with the situation.
“Okay, you can go too. You’re awakened too, right?”
“Of course.”
“Wait, Ga-hyun-ssi. What are you trying to do?”
When Baek Tae-beom spoke with a panicked look, I gestured to bump into his elbow.
“This is to prevent the destruction of the world, so please cooperate.”
“Yes…?
