A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 344
EP.344 - Their Confessions
It's already been almost 4 months since I retired..
So what I feel is, ah, this story is slowly coming to an end..
Although it is invisible to the eye, the world is becoming more and more confused..
What is especially notable is that the number of talented people is gradually increasing..
It's not a good sign. Because the power of the sun god becomes stronger..
In particular, although there is still some time left, this will become even more noticeable in Part 4, the climax and final chapter..
This is the moment...
'Because this is the time when the abilities of all heroes and villains grow..'
okay.
This is a very big deal..
The reason why Gtardus was an unrivaledly strong protagonist... not only because he possessed the power of a star that could overpower the power of the sun, but also because he had the characteristic of growing in ability on his own was even more so..
Most people with abilities are powers passed down to them by the sun god..
Special abilities that made their dreams a reality.
However, there are people who receive powers from other gods..
Eunwol received strength from the moon god.
And who can be called our mother.
Those who received power from the star god.
Stardust, the main character of this cartoon.
Ex Machina is now deceased..
...And, it's me.
As you can see, all three operate with their own mechanism that is different from the Sun God's abilities..
Stardust is the natural enemy of those with the power of the sun god, and its power is several times greater when dealing with Ids. And his abilities ‘grow’... he has an extra sense that is almost like predicting the future..
Ex Machina. The only person in this world who could turn back time. Because of him, we were able to prevent several crises that were close to destruction in the world. ...And since he's not around right now, I'm causing this mess in his stead..
And I... well, well... what's special about the ability is that it has a definite recoil. Every time I use it, it's called phyto. It's a secret, but it seems to extend my lifespan... hmm. But why is my own mechanism a risk? Well, let’s say my ability is to predict the future through the original work..
In any case, the growth of abilities is a unique feature that only Stardust has..
However, starting from Part 4, as if to ridicule this, the power of all abilities gradually becomes stronger..
...of course.
I am an exception, as I have abilities originating from the star god. From the beginning to the end of the day I came to this world, I was repeatedly teleporting and vomiting..
That's why I was obsessed with recruiting Seo-eun and Soobin and increasing my colleagues..
Even if I am weak, if strong people are by my side, that will eventually become my strength..
That's why I put a lot of effort into creating Egostream with my colleagues..
Everything from the meeting order to the timing was taken into consideration and designed..
I even think about their personalities, how to get close to some, how to trust and follow me... absolutely. I thought a lot about whether or not to betray him..
We put a lot of thought into selecting the members. As a result, I lost several trustworthy male colleagues, but it was an unavoidable sacrifice. Because it’s better than conflict within the group. Instead, they were taken out by Yoosung PMC and Ego Squad..
Anyway, after all that hard work, I succeeded in getting what I wanted..
Trustworthy colleagues who will never betray me.
That's why we all lived together in the same house from the beginning. To create a family-like atmosphere. Because blood relatives do not betray.
Therefore, I gladly accepted the affection my colleagues showed me..
.....
What was I thinking when I came here?.
okay.
Slowly, I can see the end of this story I've been telling..
We parted ways with Stardust, and the final chapter is coming soon.,
Now I just have to do my best to seduce Celeste. Anyway, it's almost time for Kate. This time, we need to make progress in our relationship..
The reason I did all this is to save Stardust and protect the world..
Okay... we need to save Stardust..
Although I never meet Starthers....
"....."
night. living room of the house.
Sitting there blankly on the sofa, I was thinking these thoughts..
...okay.
My thoughts went a little more stream of consciousness earlier, but the conclusion is this..
I'm a little depressed these days... not so much. I wonder if something is missing.
Maybe it's because I've lived in this world only watching Stardust, but when I retired, I felt something was missing..
".....but."
After falling into this world under the guidance of the star god,.
I wandered for three years.
Why do I have to save this world, and why is it me? Why did I have to end up here, losing all my family and friends?.
To me, who was so frustrated and drowned in alcohol every day..
Because of something one day.
It was Starters that gave me the opportunity to live again..
...okay. Anyway, you die one way or another, but your life is ruined. Lastly, let's take Stardust to the top and die. The second task is to save the world that the goddess spoke of. I will live the way I want.
Anyway.
Even in my past life, my favorite character was Stardust..
That's how it started and we've come this far.
In other words, my second life in this world was thanks to and for Starders..
...So, thinking that I won't have to meet her anymore makes me feel empty..
Anyway, recently I had this disturbing problem..
...however.
Actually, this wasn't the only problem..
There was a bigger problem.
as soon as.
Our Egostream members have changed.
To be exact, starting from my retirement, everyone suddenly became more active. what? skinship...
This is an embarrassing point for me who dreamed of a family-like ego stream..
For reference, the most active one was Atlas' daughter, Ariely....
'Egostick oppa... I will definitely come back! Sobbing...'
Atlas, who was recently expanding his naval forces, said it was time to return, so he went back into the sea....
Of course, even though I admit it, I also had problems..
Of course I knew that the Egostream members had a crush on me. Because I tried to do it in the first place.
...However, lately I've been feeling like I'm receiving too much favor..
And the most important thing is.
"....."
Recently, due to the aftermath of falling out with Stardust,.
I also had a hard time pushing them away....
dark night.
On the sofa above the living room, with the orange light shining.
When I was thinking about something like that.
"...Mr. Dain?"
Subin looked at me and walked over with a quiet smile..
She approaches me wearing only a black nightdress and a thin cardigan that she wears when she sleeps..
"...Ah, Soobin.."
"What are you doing alone late at night??"
I smiled faintly while looking at her..
Meanwhile, she naturally sits next to me..
I turned my gaze away from Soobin, looked straight ahead, and muttered..
"...Just. She was thinking about what to do next."
"Hmm..."
When I said that, she listened quietly right next to me..
...Somehow too close, sitting next to me. It seemed like she smelled like lavender..
Feeling a little awkward, I cleared my throat and slightly fell off the sofa..
For some reason, when I'm with Soobin, I feel like something relaxes my mind. Not a loving wife... A loving mother...? This is even weirder. Anyway, it feels like she's with someone like that. Somehow I feel like I don't want to hide my feelings.
When I'm thinking like that.
Subin spoke casually and with a benevolent smile..
"...Do you have anything to worry about? Catch the final boss that Mr. Dain talks about. We can continue to live happily together with our colleagues.."
"...haha."
I couldn't help but smile a little bitterly at Soobin's words..
Happily ever after... Indeed. Will I be able to live beyond the last chapter?.
Honestly, thinking about the power of the final boss fight and the role given to me... somehow, that image didn't come to mind..
When I was thinking such depressing thoughts.
"Again, he does this again"
"town!"
Soobin suddenly stretched out his arms and placed his hands on my cheeks..
When I feel embarrassed by the cold hands I feel beyond my skin.
Before I knew it, Subin turned my head toward him and spoke to me with a faint smile..
"Mr. Dain, you were feeling gloomy again, weren’t you? Don't do that. If you make too many negative assumptions, nothing will work.."
"No... that's not it."
"How long have I been with Dain? Now I know just by looking at your face?"
While saying that, Subin lifted his hand from my face and smiled brightly..
I had no choice but to answer with a faint laugh..
"yes. All right. I guess so.."
"Well thought out...and."
Subin, who said so far,.
He said to me with a mischievous smile that was somehow uncharacteristic of Soobin..
"When I sat on the sofa. Why did you avoid me?"
"...yes?"
"Sobbing. I hate Dain.?"
"...yes?? No, that can't be possible...."
When I was embarrassed to see Soobin pretending to cry while saying that..
"oh..."
Subin naturally raised his head and put his arm on my shoulder..
He laid me down on the sofa, pushed back his brown hair, and grinned in front of my face..
"just joke."
"...haha."
"...Well, you know Dain too. What I like about Dain."
"...haha. of course. I also like all of our Egostream members...."
"You know that doesn't mean I like it.?"
I look at Soobin, who is sitting across from me on the sofa, leaning towards me, and saying that with a grin..
I could only smile and sweat..
...Strangely, I couldn't be strong towards Soobin, even though I might have been with other women. Especially when she's smiling.
...By the way, you like me.
When I was momentarily embarrassed.
Subin smiled again, softly opened his mouth and spoke to me..
"Dain, may I tell you one more secret??"
"...Well, what is it??"
She said that far.
He took a deep breath and looked me straight in the eye..
In a dark living room, he smiled and confessed to me.
"actually. We all like Dain.."
"...yes?"
When I am increasingly losing my senses amidst the flow of a shocking conversation..
Soobin grinned, folded his fingers, and muttered with a smile..
"So... me, Seo Ja-young, Se-hee, Eun-wol, Seo-eun, Ariel, and Hayul. Everyone likes Dain. as a man."
"Um... uh... yeah..."
"And we agreed among ourselves. It doesn't matter if we all continue together. Of course, it doesn't matter if there are more.."
"...yes?"
Is this an April Fool's joke??
Now, let’s set off fireworks with Seo-eun and Seo Ja-young and say, ‘Ta-da. They say, ‘It was a hidden camera!’?
I had such vain expectations.
...No matter how you look at it, it wasn't the atmosphere..
"What do you think, Dain??"
"yes? I'm so embarrassed right now I don't know what to say..."
"Hehehe. I thought you would. Still, it doesn't matter."
Subin, who said so far,.
He smiled a charming smile that he had never shown before, and leaned close to my ear..
"Anyway, Dain is ours...."
side.
She naturally kissed my cheek like that..
Then, with the words, good night, he disappeared like the wind..
...Slightly red ears hidden with long hair.
okay.
Like this, I was left alone.
"hmm..."
I quietly got up and decided to go to sleep..
I don't know. Let's wake up and think about it.
haha...
Thinking about that, I quietly touched my forehead..
What was scarier than the sudden series of shocking sounds I heard was.
...If it were me now, I would have accepted that ridiculous confession. He is currently in a state of mental and physical weakness....
'...I do not know. First, wake up, think about it... and focus on preparing the final chapter..'
I made up my mind thinking about that..
...anyway.
Because all of this had meaning when I was alive until the end..
Let's sleep for now.
With that thought, I lay down in bed and closed my eyes..
Sleep came right away.
***
that time.
In the dark room, Stadus sat alone on the bed with his knees together and his arms wrapped around his face with a gloomy look on his face..
And her gaze like that.
"...ego stick."
It was in the receiver he left behind earlier..
okay.
...Nothing happens if you stay still like this..
She sat quietly on the bed, thinking about that..
Without even realizing it, I thought of the keyword broadcasting..
