I’m Curious As To What Other People’s Thoughts On This Are, When In Orv Do You Think Kim Dokja Gets

I’m curious as to what other people’s thoughts on this are, when in orv do you think Kim Dokja gets the ‘Poker Face’ skill?

Going to try and describe this minimally to avoid spoilers but at one point in the story Kim Dokja is doing a Three Question Exchange where he activates this skill, and it is supposed to hide whether or not you are telling the truth from the Lie Detection skill. Thing is, this had never been brought up prior and was never brought up again, so when/how do you think he got it? Mild spoilers for arc names.

Just curious because I know I have my thoughts on it and it makes it so interesting because who knows how many times he has had Lie Detection used on him which he cheated and chosen to not acknowledge it.

You know for all intents and purposes it was a mercy that Kim Dokja’s body was expelled after his death in the tenth main scenaio

Because how much more fucked would it had been if his corpse was left.

Like he’s died before, Dokja has left corpses before and came back alive. The time limits have changed in the past and his revival has been delayed before.

How long do you think the company would’ve held onto his corpse? How long would they hold off on that funeral?

Would they notice a difference when Dokja’s body went into rigor mortis?

Has his corpse went into rigor mortis before? Because if so they still may hold onto hope.

Would they wait for decomposition to start?

Would they set him up in the usual coffin and check in on it? You know, just in case?

How long would it take the others to get Dokja’s body out of Yoo Joonghyuk’s arms?

Whumpril Day 2 - Lies

Also posted on ao3

If Hyung wasn’t lying when he said they would all survive and then he went off to die, then this wasn’t a lie either.

The bugs couldn’t save him. They swarmed and they swarmed and they swarmed and the sword got through anyway. It burned. The boy felt like his insides were burning, twisting around the blade piercing through him.

But then, just as fast, the sensation left. Lee Gilyoung saw his Hyung standing over what had just hurt him, blade dripping with blood and Stories. Having finished the job, his Hyung rushed over to check on Lee Gilyoung.

“Are you okay? It didn’t get you did it?” His Hyung sounded so stressed. Lee Gilyoung didn’t want to bother him with his pain, so chose to omit it.

The bugs swarmed, covering his torso, Hyung didn’t see this because he was too busy looking the boy in the eyes.

“No, Dokja-Hyung, I’m fine,” Lee Gilyoung said, desperately trying to sound sincere, feeling suffocated by the feeling that he was gushing blood onto the floor.

His Hyung looked unsure, but when the battle roared up again behind him, he reluctantly turned around to go finish it.

Lee Gilyoung sank to his knees, no longer able to stand. He was invisible to the world, surrounded by layers and layers of bugs. He loved bugs.

Surely if he just closed his eyes for a moment, he wasn’t going to die… the boy thought, blinks growing longer and heavier.

An ear piercing screech rang out. His eyes flashed open. It was his Hyung, he was running over to him. He looked so desperate, his blurry and blank face flashing with what could have been tears.

His Hyung pushed through the bugs, who were attacking him, trying to keep him away. Lee Gilyoung ordered them to stop.

His Hyung had activated Demon King Transformation at some point, his ebony wings blocking out what was left of the sun. Those dark wings wrapped around him, cocooning him in a soft embrace.

“You’ll be okay, you’ll be okay, you’ll be okay,” Dokja-Hyung repeated, needlessly, as he wouldn’t die. His Hyung was here! He wouldn’t die.

Hyung wrapped his arms around the boy, and burst into flight. Scrambling back to the complex and completely ignoring the abandoned fight.

In his Hyung’s arms, Lee Gilyoung knew he was safe. His eyes began to close once more.

“No, no, no, no, no!” His Hyung muttered, sounding as desperate as Lee Gilyoung had once felt. But this desperation didn’t work. The boys eyes closed, and the world faded away.

A digital comics for Omniscient reader's viewpoint.
"One day, a timer started running".
A system window showing a timer of the first scenario is floating above two figures.Those two figures are fighting - a bigger, older girl is tugging the smaller girls hair, trying to grab her neck. The smaller girl is Yoo Mia, she is clawing at the older girl's hands, struggling.

"I saw something like this..."
A shot of small child kneeling in front of a body, a pair of scissors stuck in girl's throat. A "mission success" window obscures the body's face. Mia looks down at her small yet already bloody hands.

"In one of your... video games?"
Mia remembers her brother's back - the recent past is in front of his pc, the present - in the dark coat under dark sky.

"Why am i the one playing it?"
Someone in front of their door, knocking, shouting. Mia's face is hid in a shadow, only one her eye visible. She is hugging herself with bloody hands, more a frightened animal than a child.

"You always played through harder parts for me".
A collection of frames, timer in each depicting the same moment.
One frame is Mia with bloody scissors in her hands, ready to strike the stranger's hands reaching towards her.
One frame is Yoo Joonghyuk looking in, the door of their flat hanging open, as if someone broken in by force. His face completely hidden behind the timer.
One frame is Mia's body on the floor in a pool of lood, door open.
One frame is a close up of Mia's eyes, full of tears, seemingly waiting and waiting.
The page is framed with Mia's wide open scred eye and bloody fingers at the upper corner and Yoo Joonghyuk's fingers wiping blood away at the lower part of the page.

"Why were you late?"
An almost empty page. The upper left corner is an opened door, Yoo Joonghyuk's leg and hand are visible - he is behind the door, slumped motionlessly in the corridor. In the lower right corner is Mia's body, strangled, with a timer that ran out, and someone's footsteps near her head.

"Are you... also killed?"
A frame of Mia hiding in a closet with a terrified face, curling into herself, framed by her small hand with bloody scissors at the top and an adult's hand with a knife at the bottom.

"Or are you... doing the killing?"
A shot of Yoo Joonghyuk on some rubble from the back, looking into the distance. A body of one of the zombies is barely visible at his feet.

A textless page. Left side is broken into several frames, all depicting the same moment in different rounds. One is empty, the other is Yoo Joonghyuk's dejected looking torso, cut off by the frame's borders, another is the same adult with a knife, ready to open the doors of the closet, the last one is Yoo Joonghyuk on his knees. The right side is one tall frame of insides of the closet. Mia in hugging her knees, hiding in the darkness.

A close up on Mia with her back to the slightly opening closet doors. Her face is terrified, the sounds from the flat impossible to decipher. An even closer shot of her eye, tears welling up.

The doors are opened, the figure holding them is big and imposing, looking down on Mia. Their features are hidden in the shadow yet the light falling on them gets warmer.

The face is still hidden under the shadow, but one eye is visible. It's Yoo Joonghyuk, and he looks sad, dejected. Mia is looking up at him, her face is now visible, tear-streaked and blank.
-...Mia. We need to go.

The lightest page, it's Mia falling into her brother's hands, hugging him and crying, looking like a normal kid now, not a cornered animal. Yoo Joonghyuk is holding her with one hand, trying to fix her hair with another, his face full of worry and guilt. The light falling on them is almost fully peach warm, still tinted at the bottom with greyish teal.

"Hello? You sent this to the wrong address. My brother is still alive. Still dead. Was brought back" Andrew Kozma - SONG OF THE INSENSIBLE

The blame is on @leejihye who supplied me with funds in exchange for my soul <3

I'm thinking of making a temporary server for an ORV book club reread. This would be ideally for those who have read ORV at least once so we can discuss spoilers and stuff during the second read through. We can set up weekly/bi-weekly chapter counts, have discussions, and such.

The server would basically be just to talk about ORV during the time of check-ins and/or placing your thoughts/having discussions while reading. It's not supposed to be a gen chat kind of place or just an ORV fan server, just FYI.

Would people be interested? I was thinking of setting something up for August 1st so those who bought the english novel can start off reading that, but we can consider starting sooner if people want sooner.

Again, this server would only last the length of the reread and is meant for just discussion of the novel/meta commentary/etc for those who have read ORV at least once.

Those who are also interested in continuing into the side stories (which I will be doing as they are the continuation of ORV officially) can also stick around in the server to continue the book club from there. We'll figure out the "how" when we get a bit closer. They are almost as long as ORV is rn (somewhere in the 400-500 chapters fyi)

Doing an interest check.
