Episode 12: Chapter 58 - First Person Protagonist's Point of View (4) is the fifty-eighth chapter of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
Summary[]
Bihyung tells Kim Dokja that he has defended him against the Supervisory Bureau, who were concerned about the balance of the scenarios following his defeat of the dragon. Kim Dokja thinks the more good skills an incarnation has, the more attention they will attract from the Bureau. Bihyung mentions other incarnations have been causing trouble as well, but the Great Dokkaebi dismissed the concerns. Kim Dokja is shocked that the Great Dokkaebi interfered at all. Bihyung warns Kim Dokja that the intermediate dokkaebi has a grudge against him before leaving.
The intermediate dokkaebi arrives and provides compensation for the scenario: a total of 18,000 coins and the Protection Symbol of the Imyuntar people. Kim Dokja decides this item will be useful in the 5th scenario. The intermediate dokkaebi also shortens the time limit for the completion of the 4th scenario to 48 hours. Jung Minseob tells Kim Dokja that Changsin Station is under the rule of the 'Tyrant King', and they decide to return to Chungmuro Station. Kim Dokja puts the Fire Dragon's body on the exchange system, but puts one half at a higher price to use the exchange as a warehouse.
On the journey back, Jung Minseob expresses regret at not finishing Ways of Survival, and explains that there was someone who initially called the prophets together, known as the 1st Apostle. They arrived at Jung Minseob's station to recruit him, but was also spotted at other stations at the same time. In addition, the 1st Apostle claims to have read the entirety of 'The Book of Revelations'. Kim Dokja wonders about their identity.
Kim Dokja borrows Lee Sungkook's pants before reuniting with his companions. Lee Jihye is injured and unconscious, but four of the Apostles have been killed. Yoo Joonghyuk emerges from the Hoehyeong tunnel clutching the 1st Apostle's head. Suddenly, the head begins to speak, shouting that Kim Dokja has ruined their plans. Kim Dokja surmises that the 1st Apostle is using the 'Avatar' ability- meaning that the real 1st Apostle is still alive somewhere. The 1st Apostle questions Kim Dokja's identity and Kim Dokja responds by asking them if they are an author, as the Avatar ability is usually attained by creative types with dissociative identity disorders from stress.
