Lee Seolhwa - Blog Posts
Ques 4,9 and 14 for orv ask game ^^
4: lee seolhwa and kim dokja. I love lsh so so much you dont understand. she studies kdj with a magnifying glass like hes an insect she keeps in her glass jar... what can i say. women in stem đ kdj is never really seen to accept her, individually, as a real person outside the narrative heâs put her in. sure, he gets character development, he no longer sees his companions as mere representations of the text heâs read, but in the end we never got much of an interaction between them acknowledging all of this :( I NEED to get lsh closure. I need her to know that kdj doesnt think of her as just yjhâs dead wife anymore. at least i hope he doesnt. lsh has soo so much potential as a character imo. theres so much to explore. her, staying behind at the industrial complexâs hospital, thinking her work will never be acknowledged by the person that saved her just because sheâs not at the front lines in every scenarioâŚ.. lee seolhwa i will always love you. i would punch kim dokja in the face for you. 9. kim dokja â¤ď¸ mainly because: he's the main character, we see from his perspective, pretty much everyone likes him. as a result i get to see so many different kim dokjas based on everyone's headcannons... this is what i love!!!!!! sometimes he looks like a twink. sometimes he looks like an solo leveling ass ikemen mc. sometimes he looks like a dead wife. sometimes he is composed of 4 consecutive lines in artwork. this is it, i think. the peak fandom experience i think he's just really. easy to draw. you dont really have to have any expectations of yourself to fulfill when you try to draw him. he turned out to be ugly? so in character! he turned out to be beautiful? so in character! turned out to be the most average man in existence? so in character. no matter the headcannons, no matter how different everyone views this story, there is still one thing we all have in common. we love this guy. as for 14. ...im not sure. this is like asking to choose a favourite between my children. but i think Good and Evil will always have a special place in my heart. hsy will always paint herself as the villain, yjh will always choose to be good. kim dokja will always be the [demon king] of [salvation]. loved the duet of good and evil, loved orv big bang and the separation of good and evil.
Yoo Joonghyuk x Reader; A story of two regressors
Haha didnât think I would do ORV? Yâall I need more orv fics, HUGE novel spoilers so beware, but no explicit spoilers so if you are only WEBTOON reader and have no context of the novel you may end up confused, I will write novel free version, and it will be available later this week or next week so stay tuned!
You both were the same, yet different
The both of you had been given the skill âregression,â and thus you both had agreed to be companions, before Kim Dokja appeared followed by a noticeable Han Sooyoung. Beforehand it was just the two of you, the both of you bled together and teamed up in the previous regressions, the two of you wholly relied on each other and swore to always to keep the other in check, regardless of how far along you would be.
When you both met, it was your 0th turn and his first turn. You both were in different cabs and came out of the train, along with Kim Namwoom and Lee Hyunsung. Eventually meeting Lee Jihye and recruiting her aswell saving Lee Seolhwa from Anitus. You barely recall what had happened in that regression aside from bonding with the crew and having a playful relationship with Yoo Joonghuk, you teased him a lot, trained with him, and the two of you became each others support, each others weight. Was that to say the two of you were romantically involved? No, both of you were prioritizing your survival and plus, Yoo Joonghyuk had his little sister to protect. Regardless, you bonded over your power aswell as the fact that you would see each other again in the next life, until your quick end came within a few scenarios.
When you woke in your 1st regression, you recall Joonghyuk calling for you, clearly a bit disheveled, you were happy to see he also was sent back, but sad when you realised your old companions werenât. It was hard, you couldnât reminisce with Jihye about the early scenarios, couldnât bring up the funny moments with Namwoon, or even small talks with Hyunsung unless they happened againâŚbut even if it did theyâŚfelt so different. You recalled how Joonghyuk was a bit colder in that round, but still a bit hopeful nonetheless, and then the both of you were approached by Anna Croft, where you found suspicion, he took the offer she gave, an offer to save the world.
Once again Lee Seolhwa was in your group except her relationship with Joonghyuk was much moreâŚcomfortable I suppose. You thought you had seen his eyes linger on her on the previous round, and now you were sure because it was clear he had feelings for her. You often told him not to let his feelings take over, for they were in the middle of survival and loving someone would just be tragic, yet he continued to love, and while you warned him for his own good you couldnât help but feelâŚpetty.
You watched as they would eventually get married, and eventually they even were going to have a child, and while you supported them every step of the way your heart continued to ache, and then Anna Croft betrayed you all. You recall how Joonghyuk cried when his sister died, he looked to desperate at that time, but when Seolhwa and his unborn child died he went mad, so mad that he accidentally killed you, but even as you were dying you held on him tight, hugging him, apologising for being weak and promising you will be there in the next round. By the time he was able to snap out of it he cradled your body, and for the last time he cried, and then it all went black.
When you met in the next regression, his third one, everything that you had gone through felt soâŚdistorted, it was as if after all of that time you went through hundreds if not thousands of regressions ahead rather than just one⌠but when you met Joonghyuk who looked rather shaken but closed off completely you confirmed it was the 3rd round, after all if it wasnât the third round what round would it be, a secret unknown round hundreds of rounds ahead?
This round was much different, he considered you his companion but he was so cold, he monopolised what he could and was different from before, but it was understandable considering what he had went through. On top of that not only was Kim Namwoon dead and other people had survived, a suspicious man named Kim Dokja also appeared and had known the future. It was interesting, he knew of Yoo Joonghyuk but when he looked at you he seemed confused, and he was pale when Joonghyuk said you were his companion of his last two rounds despite Dokjas offer, but it wasnât as if it was because you had taken the offer, it was if you were an anomaly, a glitch in the system, something that wasnât supposed to exist, or maybe he didnât know you existed as he seemed confused about your presence. It was different for you as you seemed to have recognized him, you never seemed to have met him but he looked soâŚfamilar. He wanted to help, but the last time Joonghyuk trusted someone both of you died horribly, so he tested him by throwing him off the bridge and sure enough, he proved himself through the scenarios.
It was the three of you until Han Sooyoung came along, another woman along with Sangah, Heewon, and Gilyoung who looked familarâŚit made you think every time you were stumped, but you guys remained close nonetheless. You would train, laugh when Kim Dokja did something to irritate him, and Joonghyuk would try his best to comfort you when you felt like you were gonna go into the regression depression just as you would with him(Though Kim Dokja was the one who would help the most.) There were times where he would even doze off near you, times where he would cook for you and times he would leave you with Yoo Mia, and if either of you ârested your eyesâ on each others shoulder, nobody would say a word.
âDo you think this time we will make it to the end?â He asked you surprisingly, you thought his optimism was gone but it seemed that he still had hope left. âI donât want to get our hopes up butâŚwe have Kim Dokja so Iâm sure we will be fineâŚâ You trailed off, but he knew you were worried, he patted your head as he took his leave out of the base. Strange, he didnât do that ever in this roundâŚ
Kim Dokja always took the lead rather than Joonghyuk this time around, and you were grateful as he always protected every one (at the expense of his safety unfortunately, which you would bonk him over the head for.) But even so, the way he always looked at you was soâŚoff, it wasnât jealousy, in fact Han Sooyoung who often was with Dokja in terms of plans even looked at you confused and suspiciously, it was as if you had never existed beside Yoo Joonghyuk, which couldnât be true, you were in Joonghyuk previous regressions right? They knew Jihye, Hyunsung, Seolhwa, aswell as others and knew how things worked, and yet when it came to you⌠perhaps it was some prank as the two were always together, it had to be right? After all you were in the last [redacted] regressions-
âWait, what did I just say..?â You thought as you blacked out
you were in a dark abyss, but you could hear voices around you, some were panicked and others were calm, and a huge amount of memories flooded through you, yet you couldnât pick through any of them, they were all distorted, and suddenly you heard a deep but clear voice.
âA shame really,â the deep voice said as you felt a gloved hand stroke your cheek, âafter all of those rounds of suffering, Iâm left to see him reap the rewards? A companion who could regress despite the presence being non existent before hand.â What? âAnd a companion who knows the future, and yet that person remains as arrogant and ungrateful as ever.â He wasnât referring to you, he was referring to that person. You wanted to see who was infront of you, or seemed to be in front of you, but the hands moved from you cheek to your eyes and covered it as your body, ârelax,â the voice said somewhat gently, âyou will be back with HIM soon.â As you felt your body becoming more relaxed and heavy, you heard him mention that person again, aswell as some mumbling, but there was one sentence you could hear from him clearly, and from the direction of his voice you knew it wasnât towards you, but towards that person again, and his voice carried both resentment, and sadness;
âWhy is it not me but you?â
Credits go to the ORV Novel and its amazing authors, I hope you enjoyed this story! I wonât deny that I actually tried to dig a bit into lore with this fic! I have no plans to write any sort of series in regards to my lore, but I do have an idea of the lore. If I ever do put it out there someone, as long as they credit me can do it in my stead! Farewell!
