[Novel Ch. 395] Kim Soleum and Ireum-nim
A sort of out there theory but I wonder if KSE has some influence over the DER world as an Ireum-nim? We'll probably learn more when he encounters the ghost story he wrote, but I wonder if the things he wants are more likely to come true?
He's the protagonist so it's hard to say without going into narrative meta, but take this chapter where he wants the X-team bullies and researcher to receive karmic retribution and the X-team guys died. According to the Church of Luminous Unknown, Ireum-nim dictates the world based on what's most exciting and provocative. Going by this logic, perhaps the researcher really will die the next day because KSE would find that satisfying?
I don't really have much of a basis for it other than I think it would be interesting, and cause I'm desperate for more answers what Ireum-nim really is in the ghost story world.
