"Phew... phew.... This is tough too..."
With this, the third special screening, Heaven's Feel, was over.
The special screenings shown so far are, respectively:
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, DARLING in the FRANXX: Judgment, and Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel. Three in total.
Each special screening had a ridiculously high difficulty, but the rewards were equally juicy.

Item Information
Name: Catalyst (Holy Grail War)
Grade: Immeasurable
Description: A tool that assists in Servant summoning. A shining milestone that transcends eras.
When used, can randomly summon 1 Servant.
Looking at the item's description, I felt satisfied inwardly and carefully stored the Catalyst in my inventory.
"By the way, have the other party members already gone up?"
[Analysis: Confirmed to not be on this floor, at least.]
"Is that so? Then... shall I go up?"
I quickly checked my physical condition and went up to the next floor.
[You have entered the 8th Floor Above Ground: Sky Garden.]
"With this, the top floor is rea—"
KOO-WOONG!
"What the!? Fuck, what just flew by me!?"
I checked the identity of the someone who had flown right past me, and that someone was Lee Jihye.
"!? Lee Jihye!? Hey, are you okay?"
"Ugh... ugh... Yuseong... oppa?"
"Yeah, it's me. More importantly, are you okay?"
"Ugh... I'm... okay... but Master..."
Lee Jihye pointed a finger with difficulty over there, and there, Yoo Joonghyuk was glaring at me while emitting a sinister aura.
[Incarnation Yoo Joonghyuk is currently in a state of lost reason.]
[The Theater Master 'Simulation' is watching you.]
[The Theater Master 'Simulation' holds control over Incarnation Yoo Joonghyuk.]
[The Theater Master 'Simulation' has strengthened its control over Incarnation Yoo Joonghyuk.]
"Tch.... That damn blowfish bastard, really...."
Looking at Yoo Joonghyuk, I immediately consumed the Tyrant Lizard DNA Ampoule.
Ssssss... sssss... ssss...
Sparks of plausibility surged throughout my entire body, breaking through the scenario limit threshold by over 20.
"Hey, Yoo Joonghyuk.... Today, I'll turn that proud face of yours into a purple paste!!! Here I come!"
With just one step, I was already in front of the guy. I swung my fist.
[Incarnation Yoo Joonghyuk activates skill Iron Skin Constitution Lv. 5—]
KWAAAAAAANG!!!!!
The guy who took my fist to his face flew away like a deflated balloon, crashed into the Theater Dungeon's barrier, bounced back, crashed again, repeating this three or four times. Yoo Joonghyuk was then slammed into the ground.
"Hoo.... Serves you right, you son of a bitch. How's that? The sincere punch of Strength Lv. 60?"
There was no answer from him. It seemed he was knocked out by that attack.
"So that bastard is dealt with.... Now what's left is... just you, right?"
[The Theater Master 'Simulation' looks at you in horror.]
[The Theater Master 'Simulation' urgently attempts mental erosion on you.]
The startled Theater Master urgently attempted mental erosion, and soon my surroundings began to turn black.
Seeing the guy smiling as if he had won, I shook my head and said.
"You just made the worst choice.... Because..."
[Exclusive skill ■■'s Wall bares its fangs at the Theater Master 'Simulation'.]
"It seems he's a bit hungry right now?"
[Exclusive skill ■■'s Wall predates the Theater Master 'Simulation'.]
The horrified Theater Master's entire body instantly turned into particles and was then rapidly sucked into the wall behind me.
[Exclusive skill ■■'s Wall is satisfied.]
[You are the first to kill the 'Theater Master Simulation'!]
[You have acquired 9,000 coins as a reward!]
[The hidden scenario's clear condition has been met!]
[You have acquired 4,000 coins as a reward!]
[The barrier surrounding the 'Theater Dungeon' disappears.]
"......Is it over?"
From over there, Jung Heewon, supporting Lee Jihye whose face was swollen from Yoo Joonghyuk's attack, slowly walked this way.
[The end time of the third main scenario is approaching.]
"Ah...… Seoul."
As the barrier disappeared, the cityscape, now in ruins, was visible under the faint dawn light. The 'Deadly Poison Fog' was no more.
Explosions could be heard intermittently from afar. Monsters crushed under collapsed buildings were also visible, and scenes of people fighting each other were gradually appearing.
And all those scenes formed a single landscape, trapped within a gigantic barrier.
Breaking one barrier revealed an even larger one. Currently, Seoul was isolated inside a transparent dome.
Seeing this, Jung Heewon spoke as if sighing.
"We're really...... completely finished."
At that moment, a meteor shower fell from the sky.
"Damn it, it's beautiful......."
As Jung Heewon muttered while looking at the meteor shower, Lee Gilyoung clasped his small hands together and began to wish for something.
Both Jung Heewon and Lee Jihye were silent for a while. Perhaps they too were wishing for something.
A moment later, Lee Gilyoung opened his eyes, looked up at Kim Dokja, and asked.
"Hyung, aren't you making a wish?"
"I made one too."
"What was it?"
"Gilyoung-ah, that's not something you ask."
As Jung Heewon scolded Lee Gilyoung, Kim Dokja glanced at her and then looked with satisfaction at Yoo Joonghyuk, whose face had turned purple on one side from my Lv. 60 sincere punch.
Then, Kim Dokja looked at the ruined landscape of Seoul again and opened his mouth.
"I wished to be shown the epilogue of a certain novel."
"Is that so? Then what about Yuseong-hyung?"
At Lee Gilyoung's sudden question, I just answered as it came to mind.
"Just... I wished that the end of this story would be an ending like 'and they all lived happily ever after'..."
Having said that, I quietly looked up at the sky.
