I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

389 – Continuing Warnings

After telling my EgoStream comrades my secret and what would happen in the future.

“Oppa, what exactly is this other world? Am I there too?”

“So what did the Star God say exactly?”

“Hmm, how interesting. So our dragon clan was also a creation of the Sun God.”

I broke out in a sweat for a while, subjected to a barrage of questions from our EgoStream members.

Especially regarding me coming from another world, that drew the most interest. But when I said it was mostly the same aside from supernatural abilities, they seemed to lose interest. Maybe because I said they didn’t exist in that world.

Anyway, when it had quieted down a bit.

I quietly called one person from the back, where they had been listening to me, into my room a bit further away.

The one I brought with me was.

“Eunwol.”

Eunwol.

“Yes, Dae-in oppa?”

With her long black hair down and wearing a white shaman outfit.

Looking up at me with curious eyes.

The reason I called Eunwol separately was simple.

…I had something to say to Eunwol alone.

Like Stardust, a human incarnation of God, Eunwol was a human incarnation of the Moon God.

So as soon as I saw Eunwol, I got straight to the point.

“…Eunwol.”

“Yes, Dae-in oppa. Please speak comfortably.”

“Right. …Eunwol. Has the Moon God contacted you at all?”

Hearing my words, her face instantly turned serious.

Yes.

Eunwol’s difference from the others.

She was an incarnation of God.

…Unlike cases like Stardust, she knew she was an incarnation of God. Wolgwang probably told her.

At my slightly nervous question.

Eunwol shook her head apologetically.

“No, oppa…God has not spoken to me directly.”

“…I see.”

I nodded quietly at her words.

The Moon God.

In the original story, only mentioned indirectly, and never actually appeared.

Based on the circumstances, it seemed she remained neutral alone, and didn’t show her face until the end in the original story…

‘But still. Now that Eunwol is alive.’

…I had some expectations, but it seemed that was wishful thinking.

Well, if you think about it, the moment the Moon God intervenes, it would change drastically from the original story… So for me with knowledge of the future as my greatest weapon, it could actually be good news.

Anyway, that wasn’t why I called Eunwol here.

“Eunwol.”

Saying so, I rummaged through my pocket and took out the item I had prepared in advance.

Looking like a small lump of rock, shining silver in my palm.

Wolgwang Stone (月光石).

“Do you know what this is?”

“…Yes. It’s wolgwang stone.”

Eunwol nodded as if it was obvious when I took out the lump of rock.

Wolgwang stone.

The mineral used by Wolgwang when harnessing the power of the moon.

They used it to create Demon Kings and summon lunar monsters.

This rock that clearly seems related to the moon’s power, the true identity of wolgwang stone,

‘Should it be called the stone of sages?’

An omnipotent substance the Moon God created to study her own magic. It could store any kind of power, and would never break.

And this could.

…Be very useful according to my plans.

So.

I held out the wolgwang stone to Eunwol and asked.

“…Eunwol. With your powers, could you make these wolgwang stones?”

Yes.

What I requested of Eunwol was the mass production of wolgwang stones.

If she could make these substances using her powers over the moon’s magic.

…Honestly, I had some doubts but,

“Yes, Dae-in oppa. I think I can do it.”

Surprisingly, Eunwol said she could probably do it.

“Really?”

“Yes. I just need to cast some magic… draw some magic circles…”

As she held the wolgwang stone I gave her in her hand, murmuring while looking down at it.

Seeing Eunwol like that,

“Thank you so much, Eunwol. I’m sorry for the unreasonable request.”

I couldn’t help taking her hand as I said that.

…Ah wait. Then Eunwol will get embarrassed again.

Just as I was about to let go thinking that.

Squeeze.

Eunwol instead casually held my hand back.

Raising her crimson eyes to look at me, with a faint smile she opened her mouth.

“…Please don’t say that, oppa. My life was saved by you. So please call me anytime you need.”

In a small voice, looking straight at me earnestly as she spoke.

“Thank you, Eunwol…”

…I could only answer like that.

In my head, I made a resolution to treat Eunwol even better from now on.

Like that, I had also found a way to ‘imbue power into the stones’.

If Eunwol couldn’t do it, I would have had to use another method, so I’m glad I didn’t have to go that route.

Thinking this, I moved on to the next step.

Alright. I gave my EgoStream members advance warning about God’s judgement.

Now it was time I informed those of higher positions.

“Yo Seul-A, you free?”

And so.

Next I went to see Seul-A.

***

“…Dae-in ssi, welcome.”

In the chairman’s office of Yuseong Corp.

Seeing Seul-A there grinning at me strangely as she waited, I smiled back.

“What’s with you? Something happen?”

“No. Just thinking how I’d make excuses to Ha-Nul for your visit this time… Well, I figured future me can worry about that tomorrow. So what brings you suddenly?”

At my words, after murmuring like that, Seul-A threw a question at me.

Today, I informed her of the endgame.

“The world will be destroyed soon.”

“…?”

“To be precise, the god of this world plans to wipe it out.”

“…Wait, hang on. I can’t follow this conversation. Explain in more detail please.”

To the flustered Seul-A.

I repeated the whole story I told my EgoStream comrades. In detail.

After the lengthy explanation lasting tens of minutes.

“Haa…”

Having heard my whole story, Seul-A placed her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache, and spoke to me.

“…So to summarize, a crazy god will descend on this world and smash everything? He’ll even give advance notice months before? And the only one who can stop him is Stardust.”

…Out of everything I’ve heard in life, this is the most absurd, and if it’s not a joke but true, it’s truly a dreadful story…

As Seul-A muttered like this, I shrugged and replied.

“Well. Life is a comedy when it’s someone else’s story, and a tragedy when it becomes yours.”

“Ahh… I already had so much work, and now a god says he’ll destroy us, the ensuing chaos in society…”

In a pained voice like that, Seul-A.

Soon seemed to have calculated in her head all the aftermath and impact God’s judgement would cause, as she looked at me with an expression like she would cry, and spoke in a sobbing voice.

“Dae-in ssi… please tell me you have a plan… At this rate I’ll die from overwork and stress…”

With an anxious expression like she could already taste alcohol, glancing at the wine cabinet as if wanting to relapse into her past alcoholism that she had barely fixed,

I lightly clapped once, and smiling, answered her.

“Don’t worry. Of course I have a method thought up.”

“Really! What is it??”

“But first, I need to meet the chairman of the Association.”

At my words spoken so naturally.

Seul-A’s expression changed subtly, and she asked me again.

“…The chairman?”

“Yes.”

I confidently replied, and asked her.

“Didn’t you say you made me some position under Yuseong Corp? Some hero management manager or something? Get me a connection through that.”

I planned to meet the chairman first.

***

“…Hm.”

Korean Hero Association.

The chairman’s office.

…Seeing the man the chairman had let in and appear through the door at his request to meet him, an S-Rank hero… No, villain Egostric.

Fully decked out in mask, cape and everything.

Seeing me like that, the chairman sneered as if he couldn’t believe it.

“There he is. The amazing S-Rank Hero Egostric came himself. You’re an S-Rank hero, of course you should come to the Association. Aren’t you so confident?”

“hahahaha. It’s been a while, Chairman-nim. Still so uptight.”

“Hrmm. What uptight.”

The one who opened the door and appeared was none other than me, S-Rank her… no, villain Egostric.

Seeing me fully suited up with mask, cape and all, the chairman frowned.

“…So. Why have you come all the way here? Our contract ended last time didn’t it? Or did you come to confess? Lately you’ve been causing me headaches with Cathredal.”

“Oh Chairman-nim, saying things to get yourself killed again. I heard you’ve been lazing around happily lately thanks to me doing the Association’s job and running around.”

“What? Who spread such vicious lies! It’s bright red bullsh*t!!! …Ahem. But who did you hear that from?”

“Seul-A.”

“Ahh… what am I going to do with that girl…”

The chairman sighed deeply, holding his shining head at my words.

…Anyway, deciding this was enough ice-breaking, I brought up the main point.

“Anyway, Chairman-nim. That’s not the issue right now. There’s a bigger problem.”

“What is it? A problem bigger than your subordinate colluding with villains to mock their workplace superior?”

“Yes. The world is about to be destroyed you see.”

And at my words like that.

Wiping the sweat from his brow with a handkerchief, leaning back in the chair…

The chairman stiffened his expression, realizing I wasn’t joking, and spoke.

“…Explain in more detail.”

***

“Huh…”

From noble mtl dot com

After I finished my explanation.

…As expected, with the precedent of my prophecy at the Wolgwang incident coming true exactly, the chairman easily believed my words.

“I see. Big trouble indeed. Doomsday has come upon the world… Ah. This really pisses me off.”

“What pisses you off the most?”

“That this is happening during my term.”

Sighing as he said that, he looked at me wearily and spoke.

“…So, Egostric. What’s your plan. You must have something thought out to come see me, the hero association chairman, again right?”

“Yes. I do have some ideas to protect Korea at least… but that’s not enough to prevent doomsday.”

Saying this, I looked seriously at the chairman and continued.

“That’s why I need your help, Chairman-nim.”

“…What is it.”

At my words, the chairman who seemed to gulp, looked at me and asked.

I stated confidently.

“Connect me to the International Hero Association Prime Minister. I have things to discuss with him.”

“…?”

Looking at me, a villain, asking to get connected to the IHA Prime Minister.

I boldly met the chairman’s dumbfounded gaze.

Come on, cough up the big shots.
