Jang Hayoung
Jang Hayoung, also known in the 73rd Demon Realm as Aslan Makerfield, is a dimensional mover, martial artist, and bearer of the Wall of Impossible Communication. Their rise from an isolated resident blocked by their own Wall to the King of Transcendents is driven by a stubborn conviction: reaching another person may be impossible, but that is a reason to keep speaking, not a reason to stop.
Biography
Beyond the scenario's margins
Jang has already been moved between dimensions against their will when Kim Dokja finds them in the 73rd Demon Realm. Their profile records an age of twenty-three in a fifteen-year-old body, the local identity Aslan Makerfield, and the attributes Dimensional Mover, Estranged from Birthplace, and Master of the Wall. None feels like a gift. The blank Unidentified Wall frustrates every attempt to learn until effort seems pointless, leaving Jang abrasive, lethargic, and deeply ashamed of failures they cannot explain. Kim recognizes the unrealized second protagonist from Ways of Survival and privately remembers that an old reader comment of his requested a pretty dimensional mover, a connection that makes him feel responsible for Jang's displaced life. (Chapters 196–201)
Isolation has not made Jang indifferent to other people. They deftly mediate an argument among Aileen, the pub owner, and Kim, then angrily reject the industrial complex citizens' proposal to accept one execution every three days as the price of survival. When Kim brings the Fourth Wall into contact with Jang's Wall, the intervention hurts and coerces the blank barrier into recognizing its own master; it is not a painless awakening. Once the Chat System opens, however, Jang supplies the ingenuity. Kim's dutiful requests receive no replies, while Jang's audacious claim to be a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl attracts the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon, whom they treat less as a power source than as another lonely person pleased to have a friend. (Chapters 201–206)
That reply opens a transaction through which Jang becomes a Fighter. Fighter Transformation converts fear accumulated through years of exploitation into combat force, and their extraordinary learning speed raises the skill to level nine within hours. Jang overwhelms the executioners and becomes a rallying point for frightened citizens, but sudden power also makes them reckless: they outrun Kim's warning, take wounds, and briefly mistake a scenario advantage for general invincibility. They nevertheless finish the mission against every executioner while Kim confronts the Factory, giving the citizens the right to judge their ruler. The revolution is therefore not something Kim performs for a passive character; he opens access, while Jang chooses the message, the class, the battle, and the community worth risking their life for. (Chapters 208–220)
Learning another kind of transcendence
The Wall's transactions make Jang an all-rounder, but martial teachers turn borrowed breadth into disciplined strength. Jang has already received the Breaking the Sky Sword's Immortal Body through the Wall when they meet Namgung Minyoung, the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint, who accepts them into her extended school. They place third in a martial-arts competition and entrust their Demon Spirit Bead prize to Kim for processing, recognizing that consuming its raw energy could cause qi deviation rather than easy growth. In the Demon King Selection, Breaking the Sky Force Punch tears through space and defeats constellation helpers, yet Jang overextends and is killed within the helper game's temporary rules. The contrast defines their training problem: talent provides astonishing acceleration, but control and judgment still have to be learned. (Chapters 231–263)
Jang later leaves with Namgung Minyoung, Kyrgios Rodgraim, and the Breaking the Sky Master for scenarios meant for transcendents. Story Control training forces them to confront painful personal Stories, and subsequent battles show both an evolving Wall and much greater command of Breaking the Sky techniques. This independent route matters because Jang is not yet formally part of Kim Dokja's Company; they have adventures, teachers, and growth that do not stop when Kim is absent. At the same time, his refusal to admit them hurts. Kim withholds the truth about their connection to Ways of Survival and tells himself that leaving a forcibly displaced person outside his nebula is a way to preserve their freedom. (Chapters 306–380)
Jang finally asks why they have been excluded. Kim answers that dimensional transfer and life in the Demon Realm were never their choices and urges them to live freely, but Jang hears the contradiction: he is still deciding what their freedom should look like. They choose the company and the rescue they want for themselves, persuade multiple constellations to help, and arrive as the Unidentifiable Wall takes its mature name, the Wall of Impossible Communication. Its second-stage ability, Impossible Longing, forms a temporary Sponsorship Contract with Sun Wukong, whose private troubles Jang had listened to through the Chat System. Letting the Great Sage incarnate saves the company, but the Status submerges Jang's consciousness and can be sustained only briefly. The moment is both a power evolution and a rejection of benevolent control. (Chapters 411–413)
Communication at the end
Kim eventually tells Jang the truth of Ways of Survival and formally admits them to Kim Dokja's Company, saying that he wants to witness the ending with them. Jang's delight is personal rather than administrative: they immediately inform correspondents across the Star Stream and accept industrial-complex defense and emergency communication as chosen responsibilities. During the final campaigns, they stand on the Armed Fortress with transcendent Status, protect the company by materializing their Wall, and help Han Sooyoung approach Kim. Even then, communication does not become easy. Kim's message remains illegible, Bureau restrictions interfere, and the Wall exhausts itself and scatters after placing its fragment in the Final Wall. (Chapters 456–491)
The Wall's conceptual role becomes clearer as the ending approaches. Jang tries to dissuade citizens and demons from repeating the conflict imposed on them, raises the volume of an otherwise inaudible voice, and places a palm where their fragment belongs in the completed Final Wall. When the company confronts the child Oldest Dream, Jang pleads for more time instead of accepting killing as the only possible answer. These actions do not prove that every difference can be reconciled. They show why Jang regards communication as necessary precisely when mutual understanding is least likely: another person cannot answer an appeal that no one is willing to make. (Chapters 501–514)
During Group Regression, Jang passes through the scenarios again and becomes the full King of Transcendents. At the wall protecting the diminished Kim, they repeat a promise to keep pounding and writing even when the boundary may never open. Their Wall reveals its power, while Jang supports Han's body and the companions add their Stories to the attempt. After the rescue, Jang embraces the child-sized Kim and immediately worries about his cold hands. They later drink and quarrel with friends, read Han's manuscript on a phone after the system fades, and demand attention for the story's second protagonist. Their latest life is therefore not only cosmic communication: it includes friendship, embarrassment, testimony, and the ordinary right to want a side story of their own. (Chapters 537–551)
Appearance and personality
Jang's profile records a lived age of twenty-three and a bodily age of fifteen, a mismatch caused by dimensional displacement rather than ordinary aging. They have deep double eyelids, gently curling golden hair, pale and smooth skin, slightly rounded cheeks, and dimples that become visible when they smile. The face is explicitly described as androgynous and difficult to gender from appearance alone. Their clear eyes, puffed cheeks, blushes, and energetic gestures make pride, worry, and delight unusually easy to read; at the Wall, those same youthful hands become the image of someone refusing to stop knocking. (Chapters 196, 363, 456, 538)
The supplied translations do not use one stable gender vocabulary for Jang. Early narration often uses masculine pronouns; Jang strategically calls themself a schoolgirl in a message; the women-restricted Breaking the Sky tradition accepts them; later narration commonly uses feminine pronouns; and Lee Gilyoung still calls them “Hayoung-ie hyung.” The novel itself raises Jang's gender identity without supplying a final label, so this article uses singular they rather than flattening those deliberately mixed signals into a certainty the corpus does not establish. (Chapters 205–206, 257, 259, 363, 441)
Jang is foul-mouthed, proud, excitable, and prone to turning new strength into a dare. That volatility coexists with unusually sharp social perception. They can change the subject before a conversation breaks, recognize gentleness in a feared constellation, and identify the false kindness in Kim's attempt to choose freedom on their behalf. Their moral impulse is concrete rather than ceremonial: one routine death is still unacceptable, an isolated voice still deserves an answer, and an enemy child should still be addressed before being killed. Maturity does not make Jang solemn; late in life they still exaggerate adventures, put Han in a headlock, and insist that the second protagonist deserves better coverage. (Chapters 201–203, 206, 411, 514, 543–546)
Abilities, attributes, and stories
Dimensional Mover and Master of the Wall
Dimensional Mover is the heroic attribute behind Jang's displacement, while Estranged from Birthplace records the alienation it produces and Master of the Wall marks their myth-grade potential. The story presents the moves and the younger body as imposed conditions, not a convenient teleportation technique Jang freely activates. It also never establishes that they can routinely select a destination or return to an original body. Their later stability comes instead from chosen relationships in the Demon Realm, Murim, and the company. (Chapters 196, 411)
Chat System and wall transactions
Once recognized, the Wall's first-stage Chat System can send written messages to beings identified by modifiers, including constellations who would normally be unreachable. A reply can open a wall-approved transaction for a class or technique, and repeated conversations give Jang access to knowledge across ordinary scenario boundaries. The mechanism is powerful but socially incomplete: messages can resemble spam, recipients can ignore them, names can be entered incorrectly, and an answer can deceive or misunderstand. The Wall itself can deny qualification, while later Bureau restrictions suppress even correctly directed contact. It carries words across distance; it cannot manufacture trust. (Chapters 205–209, 260, 372, 459, 491)
Fighter Transformation and all-round growth
Fighter Transformation channels fear created by exploitation into strength especially effective against executioners. Jang's unusual learning speed then raises acquired skills within hours, producing the broad competence that earns the “all-rounder” description. This is breadth, not instant perfection. Their first advantage depends partly on the revolutionary scenario, and overconfidence leaves them injured despite overwhelming an executioner. Early Yoo Joonghyuk can dismiss their lack of depth, while later transcendent training and Story Control provide the accumulated practice required to support high Status without simply running wild. (Chapters 208–209, 363–372)
Breaking the Sky martial arts and transcendence
The Wall transmits the Breaking the Sky Sword's Immortal Body before Jang meets Namgung Minyoung, after which direct schooling develops the body through martial practice. Breaking the Sky Force Punch concentrates that tradition into a ranged blow capable of tearing space and overpowering constellation-level attacks. Its cost is real: large stores of internal energy can cause qi deviation when mishandled, the highest techniques exhaust Jang, and reckless use precedes their helper-game death. Training with Namgung, Kyrgios, and other transcendents gradually corrects those weaknesses. By the 1865th turn Jang is explicitly a full King of Transcendents, although the fading system leaves the exact persistence of every late combat ability unstated. (Chapters 231–263, 306, 363–372, 413, 537, 544)
Wall of Impossible Communication
The mature Wall can materialize as a defense, amplify an inaudible voice, and occupy one of the conceptual positions required to approach the Final Wall. Impossible Longing temporarily contracts a constellation despite Jang having no permanent sponsor, allowing Sun Wukong to incarnate through their body. That incarnation pushes Jang's consciousness beneath the constellation's presence and has a short duration. Materializing the Wall also consumes enough power for it to scatter, and fitting the fragment into place does not make obscured sentences readable. Its latest triumph is therefore collaborative rather than absolute: Jang reveals the Wall's power, Han writes, and the companions press their accumulated Stories against the same point. (Chapters 411–413, 486–491, 507–511, 537–539)
Power progression
| Stage / Realm / Ability | Chapter(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensional Mover / unidentified Wall | 196–201 | Begins displaced into a younger body with myth-grade potential but no usable control over destination or the blank Wall. |
| Chat System awakened | 201–206 | Contact with the Fourth Wall painfully forces Jang's Wall to recognize its master and opens modifier-addressed communication. |
| Fighter Transformation Level 9 | 208–220 | Converts accumulated fear into combat power and raises the new class to level nine within hours, initially with reckless overconfidence. |
| Wall of Impossible Communication / Impossible Longing | 411–413 | The mature Wall forms a temporary sponsorship with Sun Wukong; his descent submerges Jang's consciousness and lasts only briefly. |
| King of Transcendents | 537–544 | Explicitly reaches the highest stated transcendent title by the 1865th turn, though system dissolution leaves its later output uncertain. |
Relationships
-
Kim Dokja: Kim recognizes Jang before they understand why, opens their Wall, and entrusts the industrial-complex revolution to their talent. His guilt over helping inspire the character in Ways of Survival also makes him secretive and paternalistic: he withholds their origin and excludes them “for freedom.” Jang's refusal of that decision turns the relationship into a more equal companionship. Kim finally invites them to see the ending together, and Jang later helps communicate through the wall that has isolated him.
-
Namgung Minyoung and Kyrgios Rodgraim: Namgung recognizes Jang's affinity with the Breaking the Sky school, while Kyrgios joins the transcendent training route that follows. They give structure, bodily discipline, and Story practice to abilities the Wall initially lets Jang acquire too quickly. Both stand behind Jang when they endure Sun Wukong's Status, making the King of Transcendents the product of a difficult teaching community rather than solitary genius.
-
Sun Wukong: Jang reaches the Great Sage through conversation before ever using his power. They listen to his personal troubles, obtain a promise, and invoke that promise through Impossible Longing when the company needs help. Jang is willing to scold him even while his Status occupies their body, preserving the comic reciprocity of the relationship. The temporary contract is dangerous, but it is negotiated through trust rather than imposed as a permanent sponsorship.
-
Fourth Wall: The Fourth Wall painfully forces the Unidentified Wall to recognize Jang, establishing a kinship between fragments without making them friends. It later regards Jang's evolving Wall directly and becomes the boundary Jang must pound against to reach Kim. Their relationship traces Jang's development from a person whose own barrier will not answer to a communicator capable of challenging another Wall's protective silence.
-
Aileen and the 73rd Demon Realm: Aileen and the industrial-complex citizens know Jang before the main company does. Jang mediates their disputes, rejects their acceptance of routine executions, fights in their revolution, and later helps defend the community. The final vision of Jang trying to stop citizens and demons from fighting returns their cosmic ability to its local origin: communication matters because neighbors have been trained to regard one another as necessary enemies.
-
Han Sooyoung: Han leans on Jang and their Wall during the attempt to approach Kim, and Jang later supports Han's body as she writes against the Fourth Wall. Their post-scenario friendship is less reverent: they drink, wrestle, argue over the manuscript, and negotiate a side story for its second protagonist. This ordinary friction is one of the clearest signs that Jang has become a companion rather than a remote supporting device.
-
Abyssal Black Flame Dragon: He is the first constellation to answer Jang's improvised message. Jang immediately reads past his violent modifier and treats him as a lonely fifteen-year-old framework looking for a friend. They continue sending him updates, and he later supports Jang under Sun Wukong's crushing Status. The relationship demonstrates the Wall's best possibility: not guaranteed understanding, but a conversation neither side would otherwise have begun.
Items
- Jang wins a Demon Spirit Bead by placing third in a martial-arts competition, then entrusts it to Kim for processing because using the raw energy could cause qi deviation. Their defining Wall is an attribute and cosmic fragment rather than a separately held catalogued item. (Chapters 245–247)
