Episode 253: Save Marshall
The morning star looked up at the sky.
– Boom!
The sky was falling again. Now about half of the entire sky had collapsed.
‘The sky is falling at an accelerating rate.’
The morning star looked up at the clear sky that had not fallen and made a wish.
‘Is there anything that can be of help to the Master?’
He prayed earnestly, but there was no answer. Saetbyeol sighed.
‘This is a big deal. If the sky falls even more than it is now, I might not be able to talk to the sky properly. Then, I won’t be able to give the Master a proper answer… … .’
The Master was told that he would hear the answer from someone through a ‘channel’, but in fact it was not a ‘channel’ but ‘heaven’.
The morning star spoke to the sky, and the sky answered the morning star.
‘But in the beginning, the sky wasn’t this wide. So the amount of information we heard wasn’t much.’
Saetbyeol thought back to when she was born.
Now I was standing in a wide field, but back then I was in a very small place, about 20 pyeong in size.
All there was was a clear sky and the ground. Even though it was small, it wasn’t stuffy.
‘It was because I learned that I could communicate with the sky and also with the being called the Master.’
On the day the Master connected, a chair, a desk, and a laptop appeared in the space. Saetbyeol was able to talk to the Master through the laptop.
The morning star asked the sky what the Master wanted.
The answer came immediately, but it was very strange.
‘Will this really get what the Master wants?’
The worries were unfounded. Strangely enough, the Master got what he wanted in return.
And when the Master got what he wanted, the world expanded. That’s when Saetbyul realized that the world expanded every time the Master leveled up his ‘Helper’ talent.
Moreover, he was given the nickname ‘Morning Star’ by the Master.
“Morning star, morning star.”
Saetbyeol liked the name so much that he called it ‘Saebyeol’ all day long.
But when good things happen in the world, bad things happen too. One day, cracks began to appear in the sky.
At first, the morning star was thought to be nothing special. But as time passed, more and more gold began to appear in the sky, and the sky began to fall down.
“ah!”
As the sky fell, communication with ‘heaven’ became difficult. Communication with the Master was also the same. From the fallen sky, ‘darkness’ came.
The morning star became afraid. The morning star instinctively realized that she would be destroyed on the day when all the sky fell down.
The Morning Star wanted to restore the collapsing sky, but the Morning Star on the ground had no way.
Then one day, the Master leveled up again. At that moment, the collapsed sky was restored a little and the world became wider.
“ah!”
The morning star realized that only by getting what the Master wanted could this world be restored.
After that, Saetbyeol tried to help the Master in any way she could.
The morning star asked the sky again and again how to help the Master.
He told the Master the information he had learned in this way. Then one day, Saetbyeol found out.
– Boom!
The piece of sky fell back to the ground, exactly after he had asked the sky for information and given the answer to the Master.
‘The more I asked about something, the more the sky seemed to be falling.’
After that, Saetbyeol tried not to ask the sky if possible. But even without asking, the sky gradually fell down.
‘I feel like there is something else besides me that makes that darkness bigger.’
That became more certain after the Master received the information that ‘Marshal should be saved.’
Because I just conveyed one piece of information, and the sky fell down so quickly.
It was only then that Saetbyeol realized that providing less information might not be the answer.
‘If we go on like this, it’s over. There’s no time.’
The morning star looked at the master.
‘Rather, you should give us more information so we can resolve it quickly.’
Saetbyeol gave a ‘timer’ to the hesitant master.
[Time remaining: 5:00:00]
At that moment, the sky began to fall further. Now more than half of the sky had turned dark.
Saetbyeol gritted his teeth and looked at the Master, praying.
‘Master, please save Marshall.’

“thank you.”
Dojun said that and tried to close the taxi door. But in the end, the door wouldn’t close.
– Thud.
The taxi shook. No, the ground shook and the world shook.
“Ahh!”
Dojun screamed and rolled on the ground. The bag he was holding rolled away and fell to the side of the road.
The taxi driver saw that, got out of the taxi, woke Do-jun up, and shouted.
“It’s an earthquake. Hurry up and grab a nearby tree and sit down!”
At the knight’s words, Do-jun quickly stood up and sat down, holding onto a nearby tree. The asphalt began to crack and crack.
‘Is this… an earthquake?’
Dojun knew that the Great East Japan Earthquake was going to happen. So he thought that it would be okay even if an earthquake occurred.
But that wasn’t it.
– Thud.
A pile of dirt poured down from the foot of the mountain beside the road. The village before our eyes shook and utility poles fell.
The foot of the mountain collapsed and the house built on top of it collapsed. There was no trace of the people inside the house.
People ran out into the street, screaming.
“ah!”
Dojun couldn’t move even a single step because he was afraid.
‘This is hell.’
The earthquake I experienced firsthand was beyond my imagination.
‘I didn’t know earthquakes could be this scary.’
Do-jun, whose body was stiff, no longer felt the need to save Marshall.
Marshall wasn’t the problem right now. All I could think about was surviving.
‘The earthquake is this strong, and if a tsunami comes, I could really die.’
The magnitude 9 earthquake was a nightmare. After about 15 minutes, the intensity of the earthquake subsided a little.
‘No way. Let’s just go. I’m going to Sally.’
Do-jun made up his mind and grabbed the tree to stand up. Do-jun tried to go and talk to the taxi driver.
But then it happened.
“What are you talking about? Didn’t you see this just now? If you stay here, you’ll die!”
Dojun hesitated. It was the first time Saetbyeol had asked him something like this.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“What the heck? No way? Are we not going to see each other for a while like last time?”
Dojun gritted his teeth.
‘You haven’t seen Saetbyeol for a while?’
The problem was that I didn’t know how long that period of time was.
Of course, Dojun had no problem living without Saetbyeol. He had a lot of money, many friends, and a lovely wife.
‘However, I will not know why I regressed or why I lost my memories.’
I wanted to just let it all go and go to Sally.
‘But shouldn’t I know?’
It occurred to me that it might not have been a coincidence that I had regressed and been given these ridiculous abilities.
‘I might lose everything I have now.’
That could never happen.
“Okay. I’ll try to do something.”
Dojun answered Saetbyeol like that and straightened his knees. The aftershocks continued, but there was no time to stay like this.
‘I have to get to Marshall quickly.’
It was then that the taxi driver came and said.
“We have to get out of here quickly. If we stay here, we’ll be in big trouble. There’s this big earthquake, so a tsunami is coming soon.”
“Is a tsunami coming soon?”
The taxi driver spoke while looking at the sea behind the village.
“No. I don’t know when it will come, but it usually comes within an hour or two. The government will let me know for sure. There will be a tsunami warning.”
Dojun clenched his fist.
‘Tsunami!’
I knew its power well enough in my past life.
‘Then there is still time.’
Dojun checked the remaining time in front of him.
‘We have time. We’re close to where Marshall is.’
Dojun stretched out his arm to take out his laptop, but his arm felt empty.
“uh?”
There was no bag containing the laptop.
“crazy!”
It was only then that he realized that he had dropped his bag during the earthquake. Dojun went to the roadside and checked where his bag had fallen.
It was a cliff about 10 meters high.
“Why are you like that?”
Then the taxi driver came and asked.
“My laptop fell. There’s a place where my friend is.”
“Ah. That place you showed me earlier? It’s near the Ichino department store… … .”
Dojun opened his eyes wide.
“Ichino Yangpanjeom? Do you know that place?”
The taxi driver answered with a bewildered expression.
“Yes. This is my hometown. I don’t live here anymore though.”
Dojun said, holding the taxi driver’s hands.
“Please, tell me where it is.”
“There… .”
The taxi driver gestured and pointed to a village. However, Dojun, who was visiting for the first time, had no idea where it was.
“By the way, does your car have a navigation system?”
“Yes, there is.”
Dojun opened his eyes wide.
“Well, then sell me that taxi.”
“Huh? A taxi? Absolutely not. I can’t.”
Do-jun said to the taxi driver who was shaking his head in horror.
“I will give you ten million yen.”
Ten million yen was 100 million Korean won.
“Huh? Yeah… Ten million yen?”
The taxi driver hesitated for a moment and then shook his head. Ten million yen was a lot of money, but taxis were just as expensive.
“Ah… that won’t work.”
“Twenty million yen!”
“omg.”
The taxi driver looked breathless, but still refused to consent.
Dojun took out his wallet and took out one of his many business cards. It was a ‘Director Kadokawa’ business card.
“Do you know Kadokawa?”
“…yes.”
It was not easy to live in Ilbo and not know about Kadokawa.
“I am Dojun Hwang, the director of Kadokawa. If you sell me this taxi, I will give you thirty million yen.”
When the taxi driver heard the thirty million yen amount, he grabbed Dojun’s business card with trembling hands.
Thirty million yen was an amount of money that I would not be able to earn even if I worked for the rest of my life.
“Really… Are you really giving it to me?”
“Yes! If you have any doubts, call them.”
At Dojun’s words, the taxi driver gritted his teeth and looked at the village. It was chaos all around.
“I just want to ask you one thing. Are you planning to go to that village now?”
“yes.”
“Then I’ll take you to your destination. I won’t take you by taxi. Will you still give me 30 million yen?”
That was exactly what Dojun wanted the most. It was something he couldn’t bring himself to ask for because his life was in danger.
“Yes, that’s right.”
As Dojun got into the taxi, the taxi driver moved. There were still aftershocks, but the taxi drove through them and entered the village through the cracked road.
As we entered the village, we saw many people leaving the village.
Dojun looked at them, hoping that Marshall might be among them. But he didn’t see a single foreigner like Marshall.
Instead, I saw someone I never thought I would see here.
‘Isn’t that person Kim Joo-yeon?’
I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I had seen it wrong, and looked again.
‘That’s right, Ms. Kim Joo-yeon.’
I rolled down the window a little and heard Kim Joo-yeon’s voice speaking Korean.
‘No, why is Kim Joo-yeon, who transferred to Baeksent, here?’
I couldn’t figure out why. At that moment, the taxi that had stopped started moving again. The taxi drove for about 5 minutes and then stopped.
“This is the place I saw. I’m not sure, though. I just saw it in passing.”
“It’s okay. It’s around here, right?”
“Yes.”
Dojun got out of the taxi and shouted.
“Marshall! Marshall!”
Dojun looked around and shouted, but there was no answer from anywhere.
It was then that Dojun’s cell phone rang. When he checked, it was Sally.
‘That’s right. There was a phone call!’
Dojun quickly hung up the phone, telling Sally that he was safe and would be heading to Korea soon.
‘I guess I won’t be able to die gracefully when I return to Korea.’
Dojun sighed at the sound of Sally’s angry voice and searched for his contact information again.
‘Here it is, Marshall!’
Dojun immediately called Marshall. Surprisingly, the connection was established right away.
– Dojun… Hwang?
I heard a woman’s voice, not Marshall’s. It was Ashley. But Ashley’s voice was strange.
– Dojun Hwang? Help me! Please help me!
Dojun asked urgently, thinking that something had happened.
“Where are you? Where exactly are you right now?”
– Hey…here? Here, Fukushima… … .
“The exact address! Or at least the name of a famous building nearby!”
Ashley answered Dojun’s words.
– Ichiya too… It’s a ramen restaurant.
Dojun hung up the phone and asked the taxi driver.
“Do you know the Ichiya Ramen restaurant?”
“Ichiya too? You know, right?”
“Please go there!”
“Get on quickly!”
As soon as Dojun got into the taxi, it started moving. It didn’t even take 3 minutes for it to move.
When the taxi stopped, Dojun got out. The taxi driver also got out.
“oh my god.”
Dojun swallowed dry saliva and looked ahead. There he saw seawater flowing over the breakwater.
“Tsunami, a tsunami is coming!”
Do-jun shouted at the taxi driver’s words.
“Go now! Call the place I gave you the business card and tell them, and they’ll give you money.”
After saying that, Dojun went into the ramen restaurant.
There was Ashley crying and Marshall lying on the shelf.
“Marshall!”
* * *
As soon as Dojun entered, he lifted the cupboard covering Marshall.
“Ugh!”
All of Dojun’s muscles swelled up at once.
‘You did a good job exercising!’
These days, I don’t exercise as much as I used to, but I still work out two or three times a week with a personal trainer.
As the cupboard went up, Ashley ran towards Marshall.
“Marshall!”
“Pull it out.”
Ashley tried to pull Marshall out, but Ashley’s frail strength was too much to pull Marshall out.
That was when.
“Let’s do it together!”
A man came into the ramen shop and shouted. It was a taxi driver.
“mister?”
The taxi driver spoke urgently at Do-jun’s words.
“We have to get out quickly! The tsunami is almost here!”
The taxi driver took Marshall out along with Ashley.
Dojun saw that and lowered the cupboard.
– Boom!
As the cupboard collapsed, Do-jun and Marshall escaped the ramen restaurant together with the taxi driver.
Dojun looked outside in shock.
“crazy!”
The seawater reached almost ten meters ahead.
“Ashley, open the back seat!”
As Ashley opened the back door, Do-jun and the taxi driver put Marshall inside. As soon as Ashley got in the back, Do-jun ran forward.
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Now the sea water has come up to 1 meter in front.
As Dojun got into the passenger seat, the taxi driver started moving.
– Boohoo!
The taxi started to back out.
Sure, the taxi was faster than the incoming tsunami. But the problem was the houses that collapsed in the earthquake.
“Ahhh. It’s blocked!”
The taxi driver bit his lips tightly as he listened to Ashley’s words.
“I was born here!”
The taxi driver drove the taxi forward, not backward.
For a moment, the taxi fell into the seawater, but then turned right and sped away with a loud noise.
The taxi drove along the bumpy residential sidewalk and eventually exited onto the main road. A moment later, a tsunami came after it. It was a hair’s breadth away.
“Wow, I almost had a bad time. You really are a good driver.”
“I am driving from Fukushima.”
The taxi driver looked confident.
Then Ashley said.
“Quick, we need to go to the hospital.”
Dojun was shocked. Marshall’s condition wasn’t very good.
“I’ll go to the nearby hospital.”
* * *
Kim Joo-yeon and Kevin were moving but they hit a dead end.
There was a road, but the house collapsed and I couldn’t go any further.
People were walking over the collapsed houses, but it seemed as if a tsunami was about to hit.
‘What should I do?’
Kevin said.
“Let us follow the people.”
It was the moment when Kim Joo-yeon was about to say that.
– Boohoo.
A taxi approached in reverse, then moved forward and made a right turn. It was a narrow alley.
At that moment, Kim Joo-yeon’s eyes lit up.
“Oppa. Over there. We have to go over there!”
“No. There’s already sea water there.”
“It’s still shallow. Besides, wouldn’t the taxi just go away? It went because there was a way out!”
Kevin thought for a moment and then nodded.
“Jump!”
The two ran after the taxi. Fortunately, the road ended up connecting to a really big road.
They saw a taxi going up a large road to higher ground.
Their choice was right, but the problem lay elsewhere.
“Ugh. Ugh.”
It was Kim Joo-yeon’s stamina. Kim Joo-yeon stopped in place, gasping for breath, before she could go very far.
“Jooyeon! Hurry up.”
“Brother. I can’t go.”
“Then what should I do!”
“Me. Please carry me.”
Kevin hesitated for a moment at Kim Joo-yeon’s words. Then, when he saw the sea water rushing behind Kim Joo-yeon, he started running without looking back.
Kim Joo-yeon shouted when she saw that.
“Brother! Brother Kevin!”
Kim Joo-yeon shouted, but Kevin didn’t look back.
“Hey, this dog!”
The lead actor’s voice was swallowed by the tsunami.
* * *
After Do-jun administered emergency treatment to Marshall at a nearby hospital, he immediately took a taxi.
‘You never know when the power plant will explode.’
We had to get out of Fukushima quickly, but there was a problem.
Because the earthquake closed all roads, ports and airports.
“What should I do? It’s all blocked.”
Do-jun answered the taxi driver’s words.
“Don’t worry. There are people in Japan who can help me.”
“Do you know anyone in the Japanese government?”
“No. The Japanese government doesn’t know.”
“then?”
“But the US military knows something.”
