My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 73

new order (3)
bang-! Bang bang—!
“Holy shit! Why is Hahoe Mask here? These days, he says he's busy traveling all over Seoul to catch violent criminals.!”
“Shut up and put away the gun! I think something like that would work on that guy.?”
Since their main job was to steal money through petty robberies, they believed that they were not worthy of a visit from Hahoetal..
So, the current situation was very unfair, but the incident had already happened and all directions were blocked, so there was no place to escape..
But I can't sit still and just suffer..
“lower pressure!”
thud—!
One person rushed forward like a thunderbolt, stepped on the ground, and took all the impact into his fist and stabbed Hahoetal..
At the same time, his colleagues also launched a joint attack with all their might..
Teueoong—!
The black shield fluttered from the massive energy-filled attack coming from all directions, but that was all..
Instead, the darkness rising from the floor enveloped their entire bodies, making it impossible for them to move..
“Ugh···.”
“Shit!”
No, not just them, but all around was suddenly surrounded by squishy darkness..
A landscape that seems to have copied the abyss of hell..
And in front of them, there was a masked being radiating black energy from its entire body.···.
Just like the first time, I just looked at them quietly..
“Phew... Sbeol, even the demonic cult leader wasn't like this.···.”
An overwhelming feeling of intimidation that makes your heart shrink just by looking at it..
Feeling the shadows covering their faces, they had the same thought at the same time..
···The ‘Devil King’ has descended on Earth.
***
“So I just said it! Seniors! That doesn't seem right! do. Then I opened my eyes···.”
The drinking party with Taesan did not end until dawn..
I tried to lie down after eating enough and stretching out, but perhaps I was feeling resentful from drinking alcohol for the first time in a while and didn't even think about stopping..
‘Just needlessly drinking too much···!’
While I was contemplating whether I should pretend to stretch out first, a thought suddenly occurred to me..
There was a problem I was thinking about, and isn't this a good opportunity to easily brush it off no matter what I say??
‘I also needed ideas from many people..’
I was looking for an opportunity, and when Taesan stopped talking, I immediately started talking as if it was no big deal..
“Hey, Taesan. But I'm thinking about writing a novel as a hobby these days.?”
It was a random comment, but it wasn't a very important issue when alcohol was already taking over the brain..
“oh? novel? What are you doing? Okay, what is it about??”
“I'm thinking of writing it as a story about an ordinary demon king and a hero.···.”
“Classic is good too. Didn’t I also write a novel once?!”
When I was in middle school, when I was at the height of my sensitivity, there was a time when this guy was writing a novel and was scribbling notes all day long..
Of course, I don't know what will happen to that abyss of lost property filled with the blood of a middle school student now, but the experience from back then may be of some help..
I immediately added a short explanation.
The basic plot was that the protagonist sets out on a journey to defeat the evil demon king who has been resurrected on the continent, solves the events caused by the demon king, and becomes a hero..
“However, even though it is a novel, it is difficult to write about good people being harmed..”
“Hmm... Well, that's what you think..”
As I myself was in the victim's position, Taesan seemed to understand without saying anything..
“So, I wish there was an episode where he could gain notoriety as a demon lord while only defeating bad guys, but I can't come up with any ideas..”
“That's right. It's strange that he says he's an evil devil, but he picks his opponents and kills them..”
“That's why I'm thinking about many things. What do you want me to do??”
“Hmm... I can't think of anything right away. I think I need to think about it. Anyway, it's just the plotting stage, right? Then I decided on names for all the characters.?”
“uh? Uh... not yet?”
I thought it would be okay if I told you at least the name, but I was reluctant to go into too much detail, so I just gave it a vague answer..
“I don't know anything else, but the main character and the demon lord should be named something impactful and cool. Names like Michael, John, and Hans should never be used.!”
flinch!
“Hmm... Hmm. Wouldn't it be weird if the Demon King's name was something like Hans??”
“Of course! The demon lord’s name is Hans! It's the worst!”
“Uh... I think I'll be okay. It feels like a twist?”
“The twist is freezing, it’s just tacky! You're not a local extra, and you don't have any impact.!”
Taesan strongly argued with an excited face..
It looked like a switch had been pressed while under the influence of alcohol..
“Look, the devil has just appeared! However, people around me said, ‘Demon King Hans has appeared! 'Run away!' What if it were like this? Again, ‘Hahaha! I am Hans, the Demon King!' How about doing it? It's so out of shape! It's nothing but a laughing stock!”
“Is that so??”
I hadn't thought much about it until now, but as I listened to that appealing voice, my heart began to shake..
‘No, when I think about it, it's all true.?’
Disaster of Outerica, Hans the Immortal King.
The name Hans was so common that it could be said that there was at least one person in each village..
In fact, it lacks a bit of weight to be called the absolute evil of the continent..
‘The problem is that the church already knows that name.···.’
My thin ears fluttered mercilessly, but I couldn't change my name now..
“If you like that name, use it as a nickname. The underdog or something. Let the official name be something cool..”
“oh? For example?”
“Okay, let's see Hans. Han, su... Hmm... yes! How about ‘Hannibal Strauss’? It's not cool?”
The guy snorted and became engrossed, as if his passion from middle school had been revived..
The problem is that I also thought the name wasn't bad..
As the alcohol I had been drinking non-stop accumulated little by little, and I was a little drunk, Taesan's passion took over and the adolescent emotions within me also burned up..
···Yeah, it was actually obvious..
Because Hans’ words and actions that made me kick off the blanket were also a part of me..
“And as an executive of the Demon King's Army, he became something like the Four Heavenly Kings.······.”
“Then if you do this······.”
So we drank and had passionate discussions all night long..
***
‘shit! Zenjaang—!’
There was a figure running in the pitch-black darkness..
He kept swearing under his breath, looked back, and ran with bated breath to minimize the presence of people as much as possible..
‘How could such a monster! That's not level 7! Is it really level 8? It wasn't just a rumor?’
All of his comrades who shared the same cause died because of him..
If it weren't for his unique skill specializing in escape, he wouldn't have been able to escape and would have been oxidized along with him..
‘Damn it...! I thought freedom had finally come with Alpha gone! I can't believe someone even worse than that appears.!’
Although he had enjoyed some rights as a hardliner in Gamma, he longed for freedom more than those things..
Living in an organization while observing what others think was quite stressful..
‘So they took advantage of the collapse of the hardliners and moved quickly..’
‘All those who were summoned to the villa that day died and disappeared..
He was lucky enough to escape that situation, but he decided that this was an opportunity, and he led his followers and immediately became independent..
‘Heterosis? Are you in agreement with the moderates? That means being bound by even more discipline than before! I can't live that kind of life even if I die!’
Being dependent on the new Lord and not being able to absorb blood at will was absolutely terrifying..
‘If you're at my level, you have the ability to live more freely, so why should I??’
They say it's hard to breathe in Seoul these days because of the Hahoe mask, so I've been hiding in the countryside and continuing my activities little by little.···.
How did you know their location?.
Today, the Lord of Heterosis visited in person..
For the first time in a while, people of each taste were kidnapped and enjoyed at a tasting party..
The result after that was the current situation..
All of his subordinates were reduced to ashes, and he was the only one hiding and running away..
‘If I got this far away, I wouldn't be able to chase you anymore.?’
Slowly using unique skills was also a limitation..
His ability to temporarily prevent awareness of existence itself was so effective that it lasted for only a short time..
When activated to the maximum, even those with sharp senses will not be able to recognize him right in front of them, and will be able to ignore the barrier and escape, making him the number one contributor to keeping him alive until now..
“Phew... Phew... Damn, what is this?.”
As he ran in a tense state, doing his best to maximize the effectiveness of his skills, he sat down and took a moment to catch his breath..
Although he succeeded in escaping, there wasn't much left for him..
At the moment when I felt dizzy, I took a deep breath and got up to move again.···.
“You were here.”
A cold voice froze his thoughts..
“Uh...huh? how···!”
“What an amazing ability. To disappear from existence in an instant. I thought I missed it and was quite embarrassed until it showed up here again..”
Heinz II suddenly appeared next to him and slowly approached him with a calm expression..
“They detected the location where I appeared...? I moved at least 10 kilometers.?”
While activating a unique skill, no traces such as footprints are left behind..
In other words, this means that they found this place right away without any clues about the location where he disappeared.···.
“What's the problem with that??”
But Heinz only responded that it was not that big of a deal..
It has continued to evolve and has a transcendental sense that includes "seeing through," so there is no way it can miss an opponent it has already encountered from this distance..
“Ha...hahaha.”
The other person, who didn't know that fact, just continued to shed empty laughter..
“Even if I ask you to save me... it won't be of any use.?”
“Yeah, you're already too late.”
Even if subordinated by force, it was a style that would cause various problems and make people tired at every turn..
The ability itself seems to be good, but it was not the type of talent that Heinz wanted, as he wanted Heterosis to run well on its own..
“But you can't just accept it... haha!”
Puuk—
Just as he was about to muster up the strength to resist, Heinz's hand blade had already pierced his heart and lodged deep in his heart..
“Ugh, why, to this extent···.”
“Because that is the new order. If you don't follow, I'll just exclude you..”
Heinz answered in a calm voice the last question of his opponent, who was gradually turning to ash as his blood was absorbed..
The expression of wanting to protest something fluttered away and the surroundings suddenly became engulfed in silence..
‘This is all sorted out too. Should I go back now?.’
It was a busy day today too.
Feeling the dawn slowly coming, Heinz took off towards Seoul..
***
“Have you been there? Good job, Rod..”
“okay. Is there another problem??”
“There are no immediate problems. It's thanks to Lord's attention to many things these days. Now, it can be said that heterosis is fully established within the clan..”
“is it···.”
morning when the sun rises.
Heinz arrived at the office where Jin So-ran was and sank into the chair..
It has been more than three weeks since the creation of Heterosis..
Thanks to his strong stamina and running day and night, he now has enough self-reliance to handle most problems on his own..
He has already taken care of the issues that could become big problems, so from now on he will only have to take on the issues that his subordinates cannot solve..
‘That means the work that needs to be done on Earth is almost done..’
Heinz's top priority, stabilization of Heterosis, has just been completed..
The work to increase influence in the underworld through clan alliances is progressing smoothly, so it can be said that the original goal has been exceeded..
In Seoul now... a new order was being established through Hans and Heinz..
And it will soon spread throughout Korea..
‘Now Heinz can focus on Outerica..’
It was a time when a separate force was needed in this world to progress the scenario..
Because he was the best person to gather information from the dark..
I may already have experience swallowing up an entire organization, but I have confidence that I can do better this time..
“Then I'll just go. I'll be taking a break for a while, so please contact me separately if anything happens..”
“yes? Are you planning on not coming out now??”
“I have personal work to do. If I need anything, I'll come then. Let the rest take care of itself..”
That's why I put you there.
Heinz II left the office with a lighter gait..
Enjoying the feeling of a boss with talented subordinates···.
