Episode 13: Chapter 61 - War of Kings (2) is the sixty-first chapter of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.
Summary[]
Kim Dokja wakes up after using Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint Stage 3. Jung Heewon comments that he was sleep talking, repeating the word "mother." Kim Dokja responds that he isn't worried about this mother, and asks Jung Heewon to not participate in the Gwanghwamun Battle, telling her that she has another task. Kim Dokja tells Lee Hyunsung and Gong Pildu to defend Chungmuro while he and a small party of others travel to Gwanghwamun.
On the journey, Yoo Sangah confides to Kim Dokja that she doesn't believe that she will be useful to him compared to the other companions. Kim Dokja refutes this, explaining that Sangah's historical knowledge will be essential to the discovery of Constellation relics needed in the future. Yoo Sangah remembers a place called Gwangsengmyo Shrine which may house an important item.
As they arrive at the shrine, Kim Dokja recognises the shrine as belonging to a Chinese god of war. They pray to the shrine, causing the constellation to reveal themselves as 'Lord of the Beautiful Beard, Marquis Zhuangmou', otherwise known as the character Guan Yu from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. To reward them, he gives the party a blessing that increases their strength and physique by five levels for 24 hours. Suddenly a group of people approach, led by the King of Beauty, Min Jiwon.
Lee Sungkook recognizes her, much to Kim Dokja's surprise, since Min Jiwon is a character in Ways of Survival and not a real person. He uses character list to confirm this, and notices that her sponsor is the last queen of Silla, 'Lady of the Brocade Sheep'. Min Jiwon is largely influenced by this constellation, to the point where the Lady's unfulfilled wishes are being forced upon Min Jiwon. Lady of the Brocade Sheep offers Kim Dokja a bounty mission, encouraging him to kill some rival kings so that Jiwon can become the King of the three regions. The constellation only offers 2000 coins, a small amount to Kim Dokja, receives a large amount of money from selling the plagiarized novel at the exact same time.
