Episode 2: Chapter 11 - Protagonist (5) is the eleventh chapter of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
Summary[]
Yoo Joonghyuk continues to hold up Kim Dokja by the collar, while Lee Hyunsung and the others wait at the other end of the bridge. Yoo Joonghyuk demands Kim Dokja's name, finding it strange, then punches him to test his strength, querying whether Kim Dokja has already mastered coin usage. Upon Kim Dokja's sharp reply, Yoo Joonghyuk hits him again, ordering him to only answer his questions and not make unnecessary comments.
Though Kim Dokja is worried by Yoo Joonghyuk's actions, he understands them to be the worn-out result of three regressions. Kim Dokja brushes past, telling him that Yoo Joonghyuk should be the one using honorifics, since he is younger; he knows the age of the pro gamer Yoo Joonghyuk due to his own employment at a game company. He also claims that he's a fan (technically true, due to his love of Ways of Survival). Yoo Joonghyuk grudgingly accepts his answer, but asks how he survived on the subway. Through Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Level 2, Kim Dokja realizes that Yoo Joonghyuk means to kill him if he finds him suspicious. Yoo Joonghyuk is concerned, since only Lee Hyunsung and Kim Namwoon were meant to survive, and wonders if Kim Dokja is a regressor, but Kim Dokja explains that he spotted Lee Gilyoung's insects because of an explosion in the front carriage, which Yoo Joonghyuk recognizes as having been a change he himself made this regression.
Kim Dokja suggests moving to Oksu Station together to complete the scenario, but Yoo Joonghyuk is suspicious at his calmness and survival skills, attempting to use Sage's Eye on him and read his Attributes Window. However, Kim Dokja's skill Fourth Wall comes to life and blocks Sage's Eye. Yoo Joonghyuk is alarmed, but Kim Dokja quickly adjusts his plan, telling him that he will need a reliable comrade and implying that he knows the future. Yoo Joonghyuk's Lie Detection skill confirms his words, making him identify Kim Dokja as a prophet, similar to Anna Croft. As the scenario nears its end, Yoo Joonghyuk reluctantly accepts Kim Dokja's aid, taking him across the Even Bridge.
Near the end of the bridge, Joonghyuk pauses to check if Kim Dokja really is a prophet. He holds Dokja over the edge of the bridge, asking if he would release him. Dokja thinks about it and says yes. Joonghyuk releases him, smiling brightly and stating that he believes Kim Dokja's claims of being a prophet. Kim Dokja plummets down into Han River, falling into the mouth of a sea commander ichthyosaur and fails the sub scenario.
