The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 007

“What are you doing not coming? It’s going to close soon.”

Kim Igyeol, who I thought had left, was suddenly behind me with his hand on my shoulder.

Even though I didn’t know exactly what the identity of the ‘light’ was, at least this warm feeling didn’t seem like it would harm me.

As soon as Jin Serin and Kim Igyeol left, the dungeon entrance closed as if it had been waiting.

Just before disappearing, the dungeon displayed a window that no one could confirm.

ERROR! ERROR!

Due to an unknown error, the existence of this dungeon will be erased.

“That’s strange.”

“What is?”

While looking around the unfamiliar place I was seeing for the first time, Kim Igyeol frowned and spoke.

“There’s no one outside.”

“Why is that?”

“It’s a guerrilla dungeon, but it’s strange that there’s no rescue team, not even anyone controlling it.”

“Huh?”

“Ah. I mean there are no people who should be there. Don’t worry about it.”

When I asked back because I didn’t understand, he glanced at me briefly and brushed off the topic.

“Are you going to the memorial service?”

“Memorial… service?”

Ah, why does it seem like all I can do is ask questions back.

But I really don’t know what he’s talking about. What are we memorializing?

“It’s almost the 10th anniversary, the First Incident.”

“Cough, 10th anniversary?! Ah, ahaha, right. That’s right!”

The First Incident was the day I had that dream.

The day the original ‘Jin Serin’ died for Jin Sehyeok’s awakening.

In the original work, many people died and were injured on this day, so it was later named the ‘First Incident’ and victims are commemorated every year.

But that was 10 years ago?

Even I felt it was an awkward reaction, but Kim Igyeol just smiled casually and replied.

“It’s okay, you might not know well.”

It was definitely a smile, but for some reason I got goosebumps on my arms.

He took out his phone to check the time and started speaking.

“Let’s go home for now. It’s late, so I’ll take you.”

“Huh?”

If 10 years have passed, would the house still be the same? Do I even know ‘Jin Serin’s’ house in the first place?

Suddenly, a house layout that was both unfamiliar and familiar quickly flashed through my mind and disappeared.

Along with the memory that the room close to the living room bathroom was my brother’s room, and the room across from the master bedroom was my room.

Why do I know this?

“Jin Serin?”

Only after my name was called could I escape from my thoughts.

“What’s wrong.”

“It’s nothing. I just remembered somewhere I need to stop by, so let’s go home separately!”

Kim Igyeol hesitated at my refusal, then after a brief silence, smiled faintly and agreed.

“Let’s do that. Wait a moment.”

He looked up at the sky and spoke to someone.

“Please give me a pen.”

And that someone seems to be me, the constellation.

At his sudden words, I looked up at him. I couldn’t see his face, so I couldn’t read what he was thinking.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ gifts you the item ‘Basic Pen (C)’.

I bought a pen from the shop without Kim Igyeol noticing and handed it to him.

With the pen in his hand, he suddenly tore his clothes and wrote something on it before handing it to me.

“Here, this is my number.”

When I just stared blankly without taking it, he directly pressed the piece of cloth into my hand.

Kim Igyeol smiled with his eyes curved like crescents and whispered.

“Contact me if anything happens. I can help you now.”

He can help me now? What does that mean. With this series of incomprehensible words, I couldn’t say anything.

“Then I’ll go first. Get home safely, Serin.”

Before I could ask my questions, Kim Igyeol left first.

As I quietly watched his retreating figure, the system appeared without being called.

There is a space given to the constellation. Would you like to move there?

I can’t go to Jin Sehyeok anyway.

If this really is the future 10 years after the First Incident, then 【The End】 is in full progress.

In such a situation, if I, the younger sister who was thought to be dead, went to find Jin Sehyeok, the original work would obviously be ruined. The world might really end.

I told Kim Igyeol I had somewhere to stop by, but I had nowhere to go from here.

Having nowhere particular to go, I nodded lightly toward the system saying I would.

As soon as I accepted, my body moved instantly. There were no windows, but it was a space that glowed white.

“It’s just like a subspace.”

There was only a large screen, a desk, and one book.

“What’s that screen?”

It was a rhetorical question, but information appeared immediately. To summarize, it provided a streaming service where I could watch my contractor.

“How do I turn it on?”

I wondered if there might be a remote control, but looking around, there was nothing in the quiet space except the screen.

The system answered that it would only work after meeting the contractor at least once since entering the subspace. What an unusually complicated operating method.

Looking at my reflection in the dark screen, I glanced around the space with no visible end and muttered to myself.

“At the very least, there should be a bed.”

My body had become heavy as a thousand pounds after leaving the dungeon, so I was barely standing even now.

Just as I was about to despair slightly at the empty space, wanting to lie down on a soft bed, a light flashed before my eyes as if to comfort me, and a bed appeared.

When I lay down on the bed, mental drowsiness washed over me.

Before unknowingly falling asleep, I decided to take care of what I’d been putting off since the dungeon.

What should I look at first. The book? Profile? Or something else?

With so many things to check, even deciding the order was overwhelming.

I decided on the book as first priority and brought 【Read This and You Too Can Be a Constellation!】 from the desk.

When I turned the first page, I saw a neatly organized table of contents.

Following my principle of reading novels but not educational books, I opened the table of contents to find the parts that could primarily resolve my curiosity.

Or rather, I tried to.

{1. What is a Constellation

2. A Constellation’s Beliefs and Mission

3. A Constellation’s Abilities

4. The Relationship Between Constellations and Contractors

5. Shop

.

.

.}

Since what I’m curious about is what Constellations do, I should go to section 2.

With that thought, I turned the page, but the book was somewhat strange.

No matter how I flipped through the book, the parts I could read were limited.

The table of contents was clearly visible, but the content inside had Korean text coexisting with corrupted characters.

The only content I could read right now was about the duties of Constellations.

“‘Constellations guide their contractors to clear dungeons’?”

That single sentence was all I could read from the book – from the next sentence onward, I couldn’t read anything due to the corrupted characters.

“Isn’t this telling me not to read it?”

I shook the book thoroughly and even checked if there were any hidden pages. There was nothing.

Everything else just appeared as corrupted characters.

“How am I supposed to read the rest of the content?”

To read more of the manual, awaken as a Constellation!

Current awakening rate: 7.2%

It was a small, cute number. The fact that it even had decimal points made it strangely more irritating.

Awakening as a Constellation – that must mean I should first help Kim Igyeol grow so he can clear dungeons. Just like the Constellation’s duty written in the book.

The phrase ‘Main Quest 2 (In Progress)’ written below the status window was very bothersome.

It bothered me even more because it was a setting that didn’t exist in the original work.

Even though 【The End】 was a novel with unfriendly narration that hid many things, it hides even this?

‘It was only told from Jin Sehyeok’s perspective.’

Maybe that’s why the worldbuilding explanations were scattered and incomplete.

I looked at the reward for Main Quest 2 again. It would grant my wish to be sent back to reality, right?

Then I discovered very small text written below the reward.

Condition 1: Hide the fact of Constellation awakening for a certain period

Condition 2: Do not proceed with the contractor’s Hunter registration for a certain period

In the original work, once awakened, you had to report to the Hunter Management Bureau within 2 months to undergo grade assessment and Hunter registration simultaneously.

After receiving training there for a certain period, you would participate in dungeon conquests.

The Hunter Management Bureau, being a government agency, built its reputation through Hunter training, and awakened individuals could receive training, so it was a fairly decent system.

Except the director screwed it up in the later part.

But the system’s demand to ‘prevent Hunter registration’ meant to clash directly with the body without such training.

“I don’t know anything about growth methods!”

I bolted upright from the bed and grabbed my hair.

While I am helping Kim Igyeol because the system made me a Constellation, I originally don’t have the knowledge to make him grow.

In this situation, I felt overwhelmed wondering if I could make him grow to S-rank without the Management Bureau’s help.

But what can I do. I have to do it.

I had many things to do, including checking the newly unlocked skill, but I stretched out on the bed and sent Kim Igyeol a message telling him not to reveal his awakening.

Lying down, I only turned my head to the side and stared at the black screen that wasn’t broadcasting anything.

To activate that too, I need to go meet Kim Igyeol…

I squeezed my eyes shut at all the tasks pouring in.

Ding!

At the sudden notification sound, I opened my eyes and a message appeared.
