Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy (2025)

Kim Dok-ja defeats the fire dragon, revives his ally Jung-hyeok, and saves humanity from apocalypse, returning everyone to a fragile peace on Earth as new threats loom.

On the fifth day at Chungmuro Station, the gods alter the rules upon realizing Dok-ja has exploited a loophole with a single green box for over 50 survivors. Dok-ja teams up with Ji-hye to shatter the green box, rallying all survivors to fight back against the fire dragon.

Dok-ja and his team charge into battle, their weapons gleaming under the station's dim lights as flames roar from the dragon's maw. Jung-hyeok watches from afar, his face etched with conflict, fists clenched at his sides. Witnessing their united stand, his expression shifts to resolve; he charges forward, joining the fray with ferocious swings of his blade.

Jung-hyeok leaps onto the dragon's scaled hide, dodging jets of fire that scorch the air. He smashes through the dragon's core shell with repeated, powerful strikes, cracks spiderwebbing across the glowing orb. Flames engulf him completely, his skin blistering and clothes igniting as he screams in agony before collapsing lifeless to the ground, body charred beyond recognition.

The dragon's death throes intensify; the world trembles, and survivors around Dok-ja begin to disintegrate into ash, their forms crumbling particle by particle amid cries of despair. A faint glow appears--a person hands Dok-ja the Ether of Faith. Dok-ja's eyes widen in recognition: this is tls123, the author of Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.

Empowered, Dok-ja levels up, his body surging with energy. He thrusts his sword through the exposed dragon core, the blade piercing deep as ichthyosaur nucleus trades activate, merging with Broken Faith into an Attribute Weapon. The dragon shrieks, its massive form convulsing before exploding in a burst of light and embers, fully eliminated.

A notification flashes: Dok-ja gains the No Killing skill, also called King of No Killing. He activates it immediately, channeling the power over Jung-hyeok's burned corpse. Jung-hyeok's body glows, wounds knitting back together, skin regenerating as he gasps back to life, rising unsteadily to his feet.

The disintegration halts; survivors reform from the dust, coughing and blinking in shock as Earth stabilizes. Cheers erupt on the platform. Dok-ja stands amid the group--Yoo Sang-ah, Gil-yeong, Ji-hye, and others--exchanging relieved glances. Jung-hyeok locks eyes with Dok-ja, nodding with quiet gratitude. Everyone is alive: Dok-ja survives as the central hero, now equipped to rewrite fates; Jung-hyeok is revived and recommits to the team; Ji-hye stands firm as fighter; Sang-ah and Gil-yeong reunite safely with the group; the author tls123 departs after aiding anonymously.

They celebrate their victory, fists raised, until notifications announce a new scenario with barriers lifted. A mid-credits scene unfolds: Han Myeong-oh stumbles into Chungmuro Station, bloodied and panting, collapsing before them. He gasps that Geumho Station survivors--elderly, children, all--were slaughtered. Monsters approach next. The group grips weapons, staring into the dark tunnel as a train horn blares and a light hurtles toward them.

Kim Dok-ja triumphs, slaying the dragon and reviving allies, emerging alive to lead against future scenarios.
Yoo Joong-hyuk (Jung-hyeok) dies from burns breaking the core shell but is revived by Dok-ja's No Killing skill, surviving to fight on.
Lee Ji-hye battles alongside Dok-ja to break the box and survives the dragon fight, prepared for the next threat.

tls123 (author) provides crucial Ether of Faith, enabling Dok-ja's win, then vanishes.
