A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 208
new year.
Even though the world is increasingly creaky with the appearance of various villains, a new year has inevitably arrived..
[It's global news time to learn about news from around the world. Today, the United States officially recognized the identity of S-class Ex Machina, a time traveler. Additionally, I am saddened by the news of his death. As of now, there has been a wave of condolences among citizens who have heard of his achievements....]
And as expected, the news of Ex Machina's death came as soon as the new year arrived..
I was finally convinced after seeing that. Yes, it seems like time has definitely been turned back as it was in the original..
Additionally, with the news of his death, his identity was revealed and my stock price also seemed likely to rise. Didn't I reveal his identity, which no one knew, at Catedal last time? Everyone would have either not believed it or not, but this news must have made them realize it..
ah! Ego stick, this guy really has something..
Anyway, people who are interested in me like that will look for me separately, and then they will get to know me roughly. First of all, I don't know anything else, but when you go to plunder other countries, you won't invade Korea..
Anyway, my goal is to spread the word abroad, prevent these guys from invading in the first place, and prevent Stardust from going through a hard time. Among Korean villains, it is easy for me to eliminate them in advance, but foreign villains take a bit longer, so it is best to stop them in the first place..
Anyway, this is the end for Catedal as it expands its influence step by step in this way. We will be able to solve some more information in the future..
...okay. Let's think about these complicated thoughts later..
Let’s eat first first..
"thank you for this food."
"yes. bon appetite."
So we were eating rice cake soup at the table to welcome the New Year..
Subin watches us eat with a grin. I also helped make it, so I already ate a bowl and took a small portion, saying I was going with Soobin..
"delicious?"
"yes. It’s delicious, Dain oppa."
Eunwol smiles and answers like that..
Yes, it looks good because you eat well. Strangely enough, Eunwol has been catching my eye lately. Do you feel like you want to take care of something a little more? I feel a little guilty every time I see Eunwol, but I don't know why I feel this way..
...I think I might remember something. That's strange.
"It's a nostalgic taste. In the past, the villagers used to serve me this...."
Meanwhile, next to me, Mr. Shinryeong, suddenly lost in memories, was muttering something. I'm not sure when this was talking about..
Anyway, today’s meal had a warm and good atmosphere..
While it was snowing outside, the sight of the whole family from a warm house gathering together to eat rice cake soup was a sight that warmed my heart just by looking at it..
"...It's nice to see. Right?"
"yes. I'm glad everyone is eating well.."
Subin smiles and answers my words..
We happily watched everyone eat..
"Wow, brother. Look out there. It's snowing heavily!"
At that time, Seo-eun grabbed my arm sleeve and said that..
When I heard that, I turned my head out the window..
Certainly, the snow is falling more heavily than before..
It looks like there's a lot of snow this winter. Not good for terrorism.
While I was thinking that, Seo-eun said with sparkling eyes..
"On days like this, we have to have a snowball fight.!"
"huh?"
While I was tilting my head at the sudden snowball fight, Choi Se-hee and Seo Ja-young, who were sitting next to me, had already heard what I was saying..
"Oh, a snowball fight. Is this a good idea? I did it when I was young and never did it when I grew up.."
"....good. It's been a while since I had to tell Choi Se-hee who her older sister is.."
"Ha, you me? Probably the opposite."
"Hehe. Are you mad?"
"no? I'm thinking about how to make you a snowman?"
Choi Se-hee and Seo Ja-young suddenly caught fire like that..
...In fact, after hearing Seo-eun ask for a snowball fight, our Seo-eun just a moment ago claimed that she was almost an adult because she was a senior in high school, but at times like this, she tried to say that she was like a child... but I don't know who is the adult like this..
Well, like this.
Naturally, I finished eating and decided on what to do..
***
villain.
These people cause terrorism, cause chaos in society, and are feared by ordinary people..
What do these fearsome people who threaten ordinary people with their overwhelming supernatural powers do on a daily basis?.
They say the answer was a snowball fight..
"Eight!"
"Ha, avoid this? Avoid this too!"
"Sehee unnie, Jayoung unni. Be careful next to me!"
...Well, of course there is a difference in that the scale is large..
I watched them flying around wearing scarves and shooting their eyes at each other like cannonballs. Of course, Seo-eun comes in a strange robot and shoots a snow cannon..
...It obviously started with a snowball fight, and I'm not sure why sparks flew and lightning flashed, but everyone was having fun anyway. Looking at things like this, I guess it was a good idea to build a house in the mountains..
"hmm..."
Then what did I do??
I was rolling my eyes along with Eunwol. Let's not get stuck in that nasty place, let's quietly build a snowman....
Eunwol is rolling her eyes with her gloved hands. I also rolled along next to him. Something like this makes me feel at ease. How many years has it been since you made a snowman? I have vivid memories of rolling my eyes in the parking lot with my friend when I was little and saying we would build the biggest snowman..
"Dain oppa. I think this will be enough."
"okay? So shall we let go now??"
With all our brains, Eunwol and I made a small snowman. A snowman that is roughly up to my waist. She looked bored, so she picked up tree branches and stuck them on either side like hands, which seemed like a good idea..
snowman, complete!
Feeling proud, we gave a commemorative high five. And then Eunwol smiles brightly. And as I watched him look at the snowman, I guess he liked it..
"Ha, let's take a break now?"
"yes. Dain oppa."
So, I dragged a log rolling through the forest and used my telekinesis to shake off the accumulated snow. Eunwol recited a spell on it, and before I knew it, a long horizontal fluffy log chair was completed..
Eunwol sits on a chair with a slightly red tip of her nose and white breath. Looks a little cold.
"Eunwol, wait a moment.?"
"yes? yes."
When I saw that, I swiped the snow off my clothes and teleported inside the house..
A few minutes later, I flew back to the snowy log chair, holding two cups of warm cocoa..
"Come on, Eunwol. drink."
"Ah, brother. thank you."
Eunwol receives the cup with a bright smile.
Long black hair and red eyes with a snowy forest in the background. And she, wearing warm clothes instead of the shaman attire she usually wears and wearing a red scarf, sipping on her cocoa, looked like a girl just right for her age. It is not the Moonlight Priestess, the weapon of the Moonlight Church, who is the mid-boss villain of the original work..
"sister....! It's going to come out in such a shameful way.?"
"Yes, what kind of flame, what kind of shield~"
"Really... I have an idea too.!"
Meanwhile, while we were peacefully having a snowball fight, there was almost a war going on on the other side..
Seo Ja-young, who has flames all over her body and is melting the snow before it even flies, Seo-eun, who must have vowed to punish her after seeing her like that, and is remodeling something like a cannon, and now, at the speed of lightning, she is shooting lightning and snow at the same time at Ja-young, who is flying. Even Choi Se-hee throwing...
"...Should we just stay here and drink cocoa??"
"...Yes, brother."
It was already cold and we didn't really want to get involved, so we decided to sit quietly on a log and just look around. Standing next to the snowman we made together, drinking hot cocoa.
"....."
Next to me, Eunwol is holding a warm cup in her hand like a stove, quietly smiling and watching the others play. I glanced at her and took a sip of my cocoa..
...Baek Eunwol.
She is a shaman of the Moonlight Church and knows how to use the magic of the moon. She is, and if you think about it, she is also the only person on the entire planet who can perfectly wield all of the magic of the moon..
And the reason I recruited Eunwol to Egostream was not purely because of her ability..
please just kill me.
...In the original work, she was manipulated by the Moonlight cult leader and had to cause terrorism that she did not want to do..
She suffered from guilt every night and ended up asking Stadus to kill her. Suppressing her own strength as much as possible.
In the end, she lost her life to Stardust, and dies with a final smile as if everything is over..
...When this episode was serialized, the reader community was in tears. Especially in the original Star Wars, when there were very few normal characters among the characters, seeing a character like this who is so kind but ends tragically at the hands of the main character is truly a tear-jerker. In particular, it already looked cute, but many people were saddened to see it go in vain like this..
Of course, I was one of those people..
That's why I planned to save Eunwol from the beginning..
When I was thinking that.
"Dain oppa..."
"huh?"
"thank you."
"what?"
I tilted my head when Eunwol suddenly said that next to me..
In the snowy forest.
She continues speaking with a slight smile, without taking her eyes off the members still playing around..
"I just... I wonder if I would have been able to see scenes like this for the rest of my life if it weren't for my brother. Seo-eun... Subin-unni... and Hayul-unni too. Everyone, thank you for welcoming me warmly when I first arrived...."
"of course. We are family now."
"family..."
Eunwol, who was letting my words roll around on her tongue for a moment, seemed to be looking at the distant forest for a moment, and then continued speaking in a slightly quieter voice..
"Dain oppa. In the past, at Moonlight Bridge...."
For the first time since I came here.
In front of the mansion in the snowy forest, Eunwol told a story about her past..
"When I opened my eyes, I had no memory.."
However, based on the words of the religious leader, it is said that she was locked in a seal while wearing a shaman uniform..
Meeting Moonlight Bridge was her first memory. Without any childhood memories, no memories or anything else..
She became a biological weapon of the Moonlight Church..
She, who nominally became the shaman of the Moonlight Church, became a symbol of the Moonlight Church by the religious leader. From the beginning, she was oppressed and controlled without any freedom of her own, and learned magic..
And no one approached her, who had become the cult leader's puppet. Without her friends or family. She only learned how to hurt others.
"So, I am really grateful to Dain oppa, always, every time. If I didn't have you, I would..."
Eunwol’s body trembles slightly as she says that..
I petted her quietly without saying a word. Rest assured, it's okay now..
She soon stopped trembling again, hesitated, then smiled brightly, made eye contact with me, and said:.
"So, I can do anything for my brother. Even if everyone in the world betrays you, I will always be by your side.."
"...okay. Thank you, Eunwol.."
"lol."
In response to Eunwol's sudden confession, there was nothing I could do other than say thank you and pet her..
...Eunwol seems to get emotional when it snows..
"oh! Oppa, Eunwol, what are you two doing? I'm going to make a snowman too.!"
Seo-eun found us just in time and came running..
We smiled at her.
...It's family. family.
It's a good sound.
So that day, Eunwol and I spent the whole day building snowmen and having snowball fights together..
and.
Before we knew it, the first cathedal meeting of the new year was approaching..
....already?
