Episode 3: Chapter 13 - Contract (2) is the thirteenth chapter of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
Summary[]
Bihyung laughs, saying that he cannot sponsor him, as he is not a constellation but a dokkaebi. Kim Dokja corrects him, saying that he wants to sign a contract with his channel and not with Bihyung himself. Bihyung recognizes this as a "stream contract", usually made between a constellation and a dokkaebi, aiming to spotlight the constellation's sponsored incarnation while paying coins to the dokkaebi as a commission. Bihyung is amused that a sponsorless incarnation who has very little power is attempting to make a contract with him, and he tries to threaten Kim Dokja.
However, Kim Dokja counters him, pointing out that his very lack of a sponsor makes him valuable. Kim Dokja claims that if a particularly strong incarnation remains sponsorless even into future scenarios, they will attract the attention of both fun-seeking and incarnation-seeking constellations. He admits that Kim Dokja is intriguing, but all previous history points to his plan not following through, and that he is in a dire situation anyway, having failed the scenario.
Kim Dokja counters once again, pointing out that the constellations watching Bihyung's channel must be begging for it to be opened so that they can find out what Kim Dokja knows and why he is in such a situation if he's meant to be a prophet. He then reminds Bihyung that if they form the contract, Kim Dokja knows how to make him the king of the dokkaebis. Bihyung wavers and eventually settles on a plan, ordering Kim Dokja to give him his coins for failing the sub scenario. Kim Dokja tells him he didn't actually fail. To Bihyung's surprise, the hidden scenario Commander Slayer is activated, and Kim Dokja suggests that if he can clear it, he will have proved himself worthy of forming a contract with Bihyung. Bihyung agrees to form a contract if he clears the scenario. He then prepares to open the channel and leave Kim Dokja to his efforts.
However, Kim Dokja stops him, asking him to fix the system error which leaves him unable to open his own Attributes Window. Bihyung is confused, saying that the system cannot have an error, but agrees to check, using the dokkaebi skill System Interference. As he works, Kim Dokja muses on his situation, acknowledging that his inability to open the Attributes Window may not be an error, but knowing that having Bihyung check should give him some useful information about the situation either way. As he waits, however, the Fourth Wall is activated, and Bihyung is struck by sparks.[1]
