A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 420
EP.420 - His story
I'm Dain. Just an ordinary college student found anywhere..
I was facing the biggest crisis of my life in over 20 years..
"Wait a minute, I mean..."
White everywhere, pure white space.
There, I stood with my head in front of a mysterious blonde woman wearing a white cloth robe that looked like it would have been worn in ancient Greece..
"...to sum it up. The comic I'm currently reading, 'Stardust!' It's the inner world, and you're asking me to save the world??"
"huh. In summary, it's correct.."
"Ha... really."
...When the woman said that to me in a warm voice. I was dumbfounded and just sighed..
Until yesterday, I was clearly leading a normal daily life and lying down to sleep in my own room..
...When I woke up like that, I suddenly found myself lying in this strange space..
And this is what I heard from this beautiful woman who approached me..
This world is the world in the hero comic I read, [Stardust!]. This woman is the star god.
...Exactly.
'I spread the stories of this world in various forms to other worlds for the sake of those who will save this world..'
In the first place, the comic I read was a true story, and it was simply a content created by a star god to find a savior in another world. It was packaged and distributed throughout the world through comics, movies, animations, novels, etc..
and.
The most suitable savior found in another world.
"...Why is that me?."
It flies right away.
...It couldn't have been such a ridiculous thing. me? I was an ordinary college student you could see everywhere. I just lived a simple, ordinary life. Why me? There must be many experts on this comic book more than me..
Even, the way I came across this comic was because a junior who likes comics recommended it to me. And the most ordinary reason was that the female protagonist was pretty. ...The plot was so frustrating that the junior stopped reading. I was the only one who read until the end.
Anyway, that's not the problem.
"...that. No matter how much I think about it, I don't think it's me. I don't even want to do it."
I immediately declined..
It was a reincarnation in another world, and my junior seemed to like it... but I didn't like it. No, I haven't fully enjoyed the current world yet, what a different world it is. What about my parents and friends? Even that junior said he wouldn't talk about it anymore after he joined our club and got to know me..
...And, even if it was such a peaceful world, I wouldn’t like it.
[Stardust!] What is the world like inside? Isn't this a crazy world where villains run amok every day and people die, and in the end, everyone except the main character dies? How on earth can I survive here as an ordinary person?.
At my words.
The star god shook his head with a sad smile..
"I'm sorry. I can't return you to your original world.."
"...I beg your pardon?"
"To be precise, I guess there is no way to return it. One-way traffic is possible, but there is no way to return to the original world.."
And when I heard those words, my expression became completely frozen..
...what? I can't go back?
"So... kidnap someone now and throw them into this crazy world. Now you want me to save you? without any strength?"
"It will give you strength. Teleportation and telekinesis. two abilities."
...Of course, there may be some risks..
The self-proclaimed star god's next words, with his tongue trailing off like that, were a sight to behold..
Telekinesis and teleportation are also abilities that are difficult to survive considering the broken power balance in the latter half, and the more you use those abilities, the shorter your body's lifespan becomes..
to sum it up.
After kidnapping a well-to-do person without their consent into a world that is being destroyed. There is no way to go back forever, and after giving one knowledge of the future and abilities that will eat away at your lifespan. Take care and save this world from destruction.?
After hearing that, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and exploded..
"...No, are you kidding me? What are we going to do with this?."
"I'm sorry. Still, this was the only way.."
She explained with an apologetic expression when I spoke with a stiff face and anger..
"...Actually, lol. As you read in the story, this world was destroyed once. However, I, the god of time, used all my power to turn back the world's time. And since I knew that the power of this world alone could not stop Helios, the god of existence... I had no choice but to create an external variable in another world.."
"So this is the last chance. ...Because of that, I don't have the strength left to give you better abilities... but please."
"no. Then you just need to find someone other than the person you hate. Why kidnap a well-to-do person?...!"
"...Cough. Sorry, I don't have much time. Please, remember what I told you... and save this world. my child..."
"Why am I your child... Wait, hey!!! crazy..."
And just like that, the Star God's words ended. As my vision becomes blurred.
I was forcibly ejected into this world..
I lost everything I had built up until now and became a no-stater. To the world in comics.
That was my start in this damn world..
...
like that.
After Egostick left.
The Star God, who watched in silence as he left, soon sat down and started coughing..
"Cluck, cluck. Ugh......"
Then, black blood dripping from her mouth..
Wiping it away, the star god muttered..
"...okay. Still, we Dain will do well.."
Actually, he just didn't know.
There was a lie in what the star god said..
She said the original story actually happened. But this is the second world she turned back time.
...In fact, it was now the third world..
Because Dain has already failed once..
'....Daddy...oppa!...wake up...you!...hurry...unni...try it......'
'...I can't...I can't...do anything...with my...power.....'
'Cough...I'm sorry.......'
'...Rob... third... row... definitely... without me... please....'
Where did it go wrong?.
He tried his best, but ultimately failed..
That's why she risked her existence to turn back time once more..
To save this world, this time without fail.
'...Although.'
Unlike the last episode, because her strength was not enough.
His abilities are also much lower than in the last timeline. I could only give you things that were risky.
...It's not even enough to stay present enough to talk to him. He couldn't say much more.
This was her best.
Actually, she knew.
What a selfish thing she did to Da-in, and what a mean thing she was to him..
...And, according to what she learned through the last episode,.
Because he knew that his sacrifice in embracing her power was indispensable to save this world. Even more.
Is that why?.
She didn't say that.
'Senpai, huh, no... Senpai, it’s okay.?'
'Oh, no. why!!! Wake up, senior. senior. senior...!!!'
"......"
In fact, he had already died in the original world..
...She simply erased that memory on purpose... In fact, it was the same as giving another life to him who was already dead. I didn't need to say it.
Because, according to the last episode,.
...It was better to blame her for thinking that she was kidnapped while still alive than to be pessimistic about her own death and blame herself..
Of course, his depression won't get better for a while, but.
Still, he's Dain.
Even though he talks like that now, in the end, he's a good kid by nature....
She, the star god, explored various worlds for countless years and found them. Because he is a hero worthy of this world.
Even though her sexual problems are a bit severe... so severe that even her daughter is bewitched..
In the end, the talent that can captivate people, persuade everyone, and unite the world as one. he was the only one.
...Especially since he was already dead, it was easy to bring him to this world. I'm not sure if there's an administrator in that world, but I could just get the soul without negotiation..
'Yes... even though, I failed last time..'
Obviously, unlike the first timeline, Helios has awakened..
Because I realized that the power that can stand against Helios is ultimately the power of her abyss..
She sacrificed her own existence to give him her abilities, but now, including the aftermath of the large-scale time regression, she has lost virtually all of her powers and is left with nothing but thoughts..
In order to turn back time and make him forget his memories, including the sun god, the only way was to start everything from the beginning..
'...Dyne.'
Please save this world.
With that thought, she closed her eyes.
At least until her daughter comes back. So that I can maintain my thoughts.
***
Two years have passed since I fell into this damn world..
"Ah... fuck. Life, hiccups. That sucks...."
broad daylight, alley.
There I was, holding a bottle of soju, stumbling alone through a corner alley with a red face..
It's been two years since a crazy god kidnapped me and threw me into this world..
Nostalgia for hometown and longing for parents. Thinking of the friends I miss... To be precise, it's because of the crazy god who threw me into Korea, a country with superpowers in the 21st century, without any identification. I really had a hard time. Because there was no place to sleep, I slept under a bridge..
...After rolling and rolling like that, I succeeded in finding a fake identity and making money using the knowledge of the original work..
After that, extreme depression took over my body and I didn't want to do anything..
Fuck. What to do with teleportation that makes you vomit when you move and telekinesis that twists your insides when you hit a car.
What will happen in the future will happen to the Bank of Korea Group, Moonlight Bridge, a great prison break, and an attack on the Sun God... What can I do to prevent it? Until then, I was taking classes in college..
Just waiting for the day to die.
So I was actually living without being able to die..
I don't really have any motivation. I wonder if there is any need to save this damn world because it is so pretty. I didn't really want to see the original characters either. Because everything sucks.
Hey, life...
It was a time when I was stumbling along with that thought in mind..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Suddenly, the wall of the alley next to me exploded..
My body was thrown away.
"Ugh..."
Due to the recoil, I hit another wall and fell down..
A shattered liquor bottle. Blood flowing, perhaps from being hit on the head while flying. Dizzy blood. First of all, the limbs are clearly broken in at least a few places..
That was when I was moaning.
In front of me, I heard a swooshing sound.
"Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."
So, I woke up to that strange sound. Reptilian man surrounded by green skin.
...It was a class A villain, Reptile. Haha, maybe it's because I've read the original so much that it jumps out right away. A crazy person whose main prey is humans..
He looked around and stuck out his tongue. He smiled when he saw me lying down, and then saw the guy running towards me just as quickly..
Without realizing it, I closed my eyes, smiled, and lowered my head..
'...okay. What the fuck is going on to save the world?.'
I guess I'm just destined to die without being able to see the world's destruction and get caught by an extra villain on the street..
It's not a pity. It's just funny.
okay. Let's just die now. What else are you going to do with your life?.
It was a time when I closed my eyes and gave up without even trying to teleport..
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
"Stitches!!!!"
Suddenly, I heard another roar, and the scream of a monster was heard in my ears..
...what.
At that thought, when I looked up.
There stood a beautiful woman in a suit with flowing blonde hair..
...The woman I know better than anyone else.
Until I fell into this world, my favorite character in fiction..
She is a hero and the main character of this world..
Stardust was standing before my eyes..
"...."
I watched her vaguely, through the blood flowing over my eyes..
...Oh yeah. By now, is it time for her to debut as a newbie hero?.
He was probably an A-level hero at this time..
When I was absentmindedly thinking like that.
...Stadus, who was standing there with a very nervous expression, was shocked when he saw Raptile, who flew away after being hit by her attack, and ran away, and tried to go in that direction..
"for a moment. ...oh!!'
Before that, until you saw me lying against the wall.
"Hey, are you okay??"
She hurriedly ran to see me lying bleeding..
Maybe it's because he's still a new hero, but he's different from his seasoned and always tired appearance in the original work. Looking at her clumsy...her more innocent look.
I shook my head, opened my mouth and said.
"...I can't move, but it's okay. Rather, you don't have to chase down that villain first.?"
"yes? Oh, no. People come first. If you can't move, I can fly. Go to the nearest hospital..."
...Even though it's definitely the first time I've seen it.
Seeing her pure concern for me and wanting to help me in any way possible..
I suddenly thought without realizing it.
...ah. It did.
That's why I liked her.
I liked him because he was an infinitely altruistic person that cannot be found in the real world..
..I had that feeling.
He soon came to his senses, shook his head once more and said:.
"no. It wasn't that bad. Rather, I'm going to call the association... so could you catch that villain first? If we leave it like that, I think the casualties will only get worse. Because I'm really okay."
"Ugh... then yes, I understand. If anything happens, please shout loudly.!"
"...haha. all right."
"yes. Then I first...!"
With those words, I looked at her as she glanced behind me and flew away..
I smiled and lowered my head again without realizing it..
...And then I realized.
this. It was the first smile I smiled after falling into this world..
".....haha."
okay. In this world, Stardust is reality..
As I was absentmindedly thinking about that, I thought without even realizing it..
...If this is reality. If there is a future where all the stories I saw in the original work come true,.
They say that Stardus, who seemed pure and kind, will continue to suffer from now on..
I don't really want to see that sight..
"...under."
okay.
Maybe it's just one life.
I was planning on dying anyway..
'...Not for the damn star god.'
For that infinitely good girl.
Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to try running once?.
For the girl who was once my favorite. For a world where good people can be happy.
...In this life, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to live for Stardust..
I had that thought..
that is.
It was my first goal in this world..
