A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 295

"never."

Korea's only prison for the able-bodied, Karkeas.

My plan to be captured there and kill the sun god's monster was met with great opposition from the beginning..

"I've followed everything Dain did up until now, but I don't think this is the case, Dain. How dangerous is it there?."

Soobin says that in a rare, strong tone while making eye contact with me..

Because I knew that those words contained concern for me, I found it difficult to even say them..

While I was silent for a moment, sympathetic voices came from next to me..

"That's right, Dain oppa. I also heard a rumor about that place, and they say that once you go in, you can't come out...."

"...I also think it's too dangerous.."

"So that. What are you going to do if you go in there and can't escape??"

Even though everyone was trying to stop me, I was quietly listening. No, what on earth does everyone think of Carcaeas? It's also a place where people live. Those people are all the greatest villains of all time....

"...I wish I was a little better at hacking..."

For reference, the biggest problem among them was Seo-eun..

When I heard that I was entering Carcaeas in such a dangerous way, I started blaming myself for not being able to get through there..

No matter how hard I tried to stop him from doing that, he did it again. Oh my, you two... It must be frustrating, especially when a grown child does something like that..

In particular, Ariel brought a large photo from somewhere and thrust it at me, crying..

"Are you going to go into a place like this? I can't believe it!"

...What was captured in that photo was the gloomy and gigantic appearance of Carcaeas..

Carceas was a gigantic gray castle that seemed to be hundreds of years old, standing alone and gloomily on a dark, foggy, open sea..

...Just by looking at the picture, it feels like there's going to be a big problem if something gets in there..

Of course, they were armed with the latest equipment to control the superpowers who only pretended to scare them, but they didn't even know that..

"Anyway, Mr. Dain. This can never be done."

Of course, it is still dangerous, so everyone is against it..

...However, the fact that did not change was that one day I would eventually have to go in there and beat that guy. And the sooner the time, the better..

So, I started persuading in earnest..

"This is really the last time. I'm only doing something dangerous this time, it'll be okay in the future.."

Of course, even when I said that, the reaction was somehow cold..

So, I decided to say something that would change the topic at this point..

"And if I succeed in this one, I think I can retire much sooner.."

I raised the topic so carefully.

And then, there was an immediate response..

"Retirement..?"

Seo-eun, who had just been leaning against the wall and mumbling self-reproach, turned her head and showed her reaction for the first time..

I didn't miss this opportunity and spoke straight away..

"okay. retirement. I've been working as a villain for a long time now, so I need to take a break.."

And it wasn't a lie.

...In fact, retirement itself has been something I've been thinking about since the day I left Moonlight Bridge..

However, it was the same when I first fell into this world, and until this time, retirement was at the end of Phase 3. So, I was planning on doing it before Phase 4 starts. Even if I had to go, I was planning on catching the final boss of Phase 3..

However, things have changed.

My awareness rose much faster than I expected, and the formation of Egostream. And Stardust's growth also went much better than planned. So, this means that once you kill Infless, the person who grants this wish, there will be significantly less work to do..

and. The biggest reason is...

"Then, brother, you don't have to watch Stardust anymore.?"

"...Yeah, that's right."

It was none other than Stardust..

...Lately, I have a strange feeling every time I watch Stardust. And as I thought about the meaning of her reaction to me, I came to a conclusion. I've finally gone crazy and am interpreting Stardust's actions in a good way..

That's why I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to stop getting involved with Stardust before something bigger happens. Since Ego Stream exists anyway, there is no reason for me to continue carrying out terrorist attacks myself. Stardust has already grown considerably. I'm tired too.

Anyway, while I was thinking that, I heard a voice from ahead..

"still..."

Seo-eun’s voice still says she is reluctant..

Write it. I guess I'll have to try harder.

"Seo Eun-ah, Subin. listen..."

And so my persuasion continued. It's basically just this one time and I'm not going to do anything dangerous anymore, and it's okay because I've already made a plan..

As a result of talking like that for a long time.

"...all right. This is really the last time something dangerous like this will happen.?"

In the end, with Subin's worried sigh, I was able to get permission..

...It was a mystery why I was allowed to go into the cell, but I figured it was not the first time..

Anyway, I never gave up just because I was against it..

When it comes to the best outcome for everyone, it doesn't matter what the process is..

I thought so quietly.

At least bringing up the topic of retirement and saying that I wouldn't do anything this risky in the future seemed to have helped a lot in calming everyone down..

'...I'm not saying I'm retiring right away..'

There is still a lot of work left to do even after this job is over, and there is a lot to do even after retirement... but I decided not to say that..

***

After the Carcaeas invasion operation was confirmed, I began planning in earnest..

To sum up my goal, it's a very simple operation..

first. After causing a terrorist attack, he was deliberately captured by Stadus. second. A person who enters Karkeas, a prison for the talented, and makes a wish there. Remove after contact with the inflation. Third, escape.

If you listen to this point, it seems like a simple plan, but the problem is how to get in and how to get out. and how to remove it.

Since it was a plan made on the spot, it took quite a long time to put it into practice. However, Seo-eun also helped me, and as I took each step step by step, I was able to get a certain outline..

In particular, Subin’s words with a serious expression.

"Mr. Dain. You said externally that you would be captured by Stardust.?"

"yes."

"Then, I told Dain’s colleagues who are currently overseas.?"

"Um... no?"

"Do it quickly."

When Soobin spoke so firmly, I had no choice but to pick up my phone..

No... I'm going to escape after a few days anyway, so what does it matter? That was my idea, but I had no choice but to do it because Subin was fussing..

So I talked to everyone I was friends with and was in an alliance with..

[Ha ha ha ha ha! Okay, keep that in mind! If I had done this wrong, we would have invaded Korea.!]

[...Thank you for telling us in advance, Dain. If I hadn't known, I would have invaded the concentration camp, hehe..]

[Hmm, I understand. If you plan on doing something like this in the future, please let me know. You have to plan accordingly..]

...I heard a pretty harsh answer..

No, I was planning on telling Atlas in advance... but I didn't know the other two would do this as well. It's only a few days anyway?

Anyway, the plan went smoothly like that..

"Brother, don’t worry about jailbreak. I think I can do this."

"really?"

"yes. The problem with entering the prison was that it was difficult to break in without being discovered, but on the other hand, coming out would have already exposed your identity and all you had to do was escape... so it was easier.."

Although I said it was that easy, I expressed my gratitude to Seo-eun, who somehow looked full of dark circles in her eyes, even though I felt sorry for her..

Anyway, we discussed additional details with Lee Seol-ah and discussed what to do to carry out the attack, and finally set a date to carry out the attack..

And finally, after some planning was done.

I quietly called Seo-eun into my room and gave her a notebook..

"Seo-eun, I have this.."

"What is this??"

As soon as she received it, Seo-eun tried to open it, but she looked puzzled at the sight of the diary not opening even after whimpering..

I calmly told her this.

"Hand it to me when I get back. Understand?"

"...yes? Well, okay. But what is this??"

I swallowed back my words as Seo-eun looked up at me as if she was curious..

What I gave to Seo-eun was a diary that was sealed so that only I could open it..

This is a diary that summarizes everything that has happened since I fell into this world....

This is the only key that I have prepared so far for this time to come back unharmed after dealing with this guy..

"...I'll tell you later. For now, I have it. Understand?"

"...yes."

To Seo-eun, who was still looking down at her diary in confusion, I added an afterthought..

"Oh and. Don't be too surprised if I come back with no memory.."

"...yes? What does that mean??"

Leaving behind Seo-eun, who seemed to be feeling almost absurd, I quietly lost in thought..

good. All preparations are complete.

Now, it's time for real action..

I made up my mind by fiddling with the device I had prepared for this event in my pocket..

Come on, let's give it a try..

3Event for early phase graduation.

***

And at that time.

"Um... let's be a little more proactive first? How about approaching?"

"Actively?"

At the top of Yuseong Group, Lee Seol-ah meets her friend Shin Haru. She gave Stardust advice on her relationship, and she was alone, quietly, in despair, wondering..

...What am I doing now?..?

It was a few days ago before Egostick started a terrorist attack..
