Hello everyone. I admittedly don't know if this is the right place for this, I apologise if not.

My mum and I were sitting on the balcony and shortly after we moved there, I heard a sizzling sound and a brief line of yellow light, like a horizontal spark (or more like an electric sizzle?), above the natural gas pipe outside of our garden, where it connects to a box. It's been some hours since, where we were staring at the pipe, but no spark appeared again.

Since then, I tried the soapy water test and saw no bubbles, we went sniffing like dogs around the area, the kitchen and basement and couldn't smell anything unusual. There are also no sounds coming from the pipes - essentially, none of the signs I found online related to a leak are happening. But I'm pretty sure I saw that spark. What should I do?

I’ve been with this story since roughly the start of the webtoon. I still remember seeing some fanart of Yoo Joonghyuk alone and then another with him and Dokja and going through a mad search to find out where it’s from – until I finally found the ORV hashtag on some other posts and discovered the webtoon that way. I’d been tempted to read the novel several times, even started tons of times, but was always a little afraid that it might change my excitement for the webtoon and didn’t do it. It took years and the webtoon’s hiatus to tell myself “But you love obsessively re-reading things anyway” and went ahead and read it.

I shed some tears in earlier parts, especially during >!! Incarnation island, when Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk duked it out, or before at Yoo Jooknghyuk’s hospital room!<s. It was such a magnificent, wonderful, ridiculous and strong story, where I fell for Kim Dokja >!! assuring me that he’d choose an end without any losses. 51%-49% had long been spoiled to me, but I thought I could live with it, as I was under a different impression of what 51% would be doing anyway. And well, if Han Sooyoung discovering what was going on and calling it out gave me any hope… !>

… I could not at all be prepared for the Epilogues’ section.

It feels like, after getting in these chapters, I didn’t stop crying once. >!It felt like every ray of hope was being extinguished, that the Probability scorned and defied through the entire novel was now getting its revenge. That a story about a beautiful and perfect ending was shoving me into a cold reality where we couldn’t get what we wanted. I got mad amidst my tears more times than I could count. I kept counting the pages till the end and despairing, cause how was I about to imagine a happy ending, as Han Sooyoung kept encouraging, without any hints, any rays of light?!<

So can you imagine how grateful I was to reach the very final pages?

>!In the end, I spent some good time imagining what was beyond that door – grateful, though I’m not one for open ending!<. ORV is a story that I’ve been reading bit by bit for so many years and, though not my favourite over all I’ve read (but definitely in the top section), Kim Dokja has always been my favourite protagonist and the one I’ve ever related to the most. What an absolutely beautiful journey, how amazing is a story that can make someone feel so much.

I have recently learnt that there’s more to it with the ORV Side Story, that it continues the main one, even if it follows a different protagonist. Is that one completed, or still releasing chapters? Is it available in English officially? I know what a lot of people have mixed opinions about it, so would you guys recommend it?

Spoiler-covering the whole thing just in case.

Newbie reader. You'll likely be seeing me here from time to time sharing impressions, cause I have really been enjoying reading all these volumes and Undying so far is really challenging Clown for the first spot as my favourite. In fact, I don't remember the last time I'd spent so many hours reading each day.

But I was a little disappointed by the Leonard confrontation with 'Dwayne'. I think a part of me wanted them to trade blows and call him out as Klein - but the essence of it is that all this time, through all these chapters, I've been dying for Klein to get caught, someone to realise and just for one brief moment get ahead of him and make him trip up.

Why? Cause my little dude is suffering in loneliness. I was so happy in Faceless when Azik finally appeared and Klein mostly shared everything with him, cause there was someone there at long last with whom he could be open enough. The build-up with Leonard realising was so amazing, it had me at the edge of my seat and I was dying for a deeper heart-to-heart, cause I feel so bad for Klein and this lonely road he walks.

Of course, I know how the story ends. It was accidentally spoiled to me. I know there will be tears in the end.

>!As the title says, I'm new at the books. I'm still relatively early into Traveler (Ch543) and have been wondering about something.!<

>!Klein in his heart of hearts seems to identify as Zhou, but the book never describes him as that. The narration always calls him Klein. I know that he has merged with Klein, inherited his memories, feelings for his family, etc, but in Faceless, he still seems to fully identify as Zhou. Even when he takes up the identities of Sherlock or Gehrman, he's still Klein in the narration, something I deeply appreciate, but have just been wondering - why not Zhou since the start?!<

>!Or is that something that will be explained later on?!<

>!Apologies in advance if this has been asked before. I love the journey of the books and I'm really hyped to be finally reading them!!<
