Chapter Index

    Seoul, underpass.

    “Aaagh!”

    Citizens run away.

    I leave the subway station and quickly start running up the stairs.

    “Wow!!”

    A man dances with strange sounds from history.

    It’s not just a man, but a man who looks to be in his 50s dancing with his body flowing.

    “Alcohol, bring alcohol! Alcohol!!”

    It wasn’t a dance.

    Stumbling around was just a sign of drunkenness, and reaching out towards the surroundings was like swinging a fist.

    A man who is clearly drunk to excess.

    “Swoosh, swish! I used to be the champion, Sitpal! come in! Come on!”

    However, even though the man was drunk and was swinging his fists at those around him, no one dared to approach him.

    “Hey! Are you level E? Come on!”

    “Ugh…!”

    In the subway, a drunken middle-aged man waved his hand at a young man wearing a blue shirt and black hat.

    It looks like he is in a confrontation with the young man and is threatening him, but the problem is that the young man is a Class E superpower and a superpower police officer.

    People went to the police.

    However, the police are not able to subdue their opponents carelessly.

    Also, a talented police officer.

    “How can a man who is not a person with special abilities have this kind of magical power…!”

    The young policeman’s arms were bruised, and blood was even flowing from the corner of his mouth.

    The body of a person with extraordinary ability does not produce bruises like this from the fists of ordinary people or even professional boxers.

    However, the drunken man’s outburst injured even the police and the talented person.

    “Come in, you son of a bitch! As long as you are talented! I even threw a few punches once! It’s a drunk, kid! ”

    The middle-aged man rushed towards the young policeman again.

    He stretched out his arms as if to give him a bear hug, and the young police officer quickly bent down and grabbed the middle-aged man’s back.

    “I’m arresting you-”

    “Where are you touching! Know who I am!!”

    Kwa-eu-ang!

    The middle-aged man swung his arm widely, and the young police officer who was about to handcuff him flew over 10 meters and hit the wall.

    “Ker, keuhuh…!”

    The huge impact caused a large cave-in in the wall, and the young police officer fell to the floor, vomiting blood.

    “Wow…! Those with superpowers, they’ve been bragging to this day that they were born with magical powers…! Hey, now I have superpowers too!”

    “How, like that….”

    “It’s all thanks to Hwalbindang!!”

    Full of alcohol, the man shouted as if everyone around him should hear.

    “Shout out, Hwalbindang! If you believe in Hwalbindang, you will gain magical power! I am now a person with special abilities! Haha, hahaha! Magical powers arise in those who believe!”

    Could it be the nonsense of a drunk man?

    Or is it the joy of the miracle of a man in his 50s gaining magical powers just by believing in Hwalbindang?

    It was not easy to believe anyone, but at least the sight before my eyes was clear.

    “Well, I have such magical powers…!”

    A high school girl with her hair dyed pink held onto the stairs and whispered softly.

    “Ah?!”

    “Hee, hee hee…!!”

    “If you have such magic power, what!!”

    “I think hitting a police officer is an act of villainy…!”

    The girl mustered up a very small amount of courage.

    “Ra, they say that at school…”

    He mustered up the courage to say what he had learned in school, as his conscience, deeply rooted in his heart, had told him to do.

    “Aang?! Is this kid crazy because he wants to die!”

    “Hee Iik!! Sorry, sorry, sorry!!”

    But with even the police fallen, who can protect her?

    Others ran away, or some just took out old smartphones instead of Taegeuk watches and took pictures from a distance.

    “Stupid…it’s all a bonus…huh?”

    The middle-aged man’s fist, which was swinging his arm forward toward the girl, stopped.

    “Stop, leave it alone…!”

    The young policeman holding the middle-aged man’s wrist trembled as if he was going to collapse at any moment, but the middle-aged man’s fist clearly could not move forward.

    “If I quit now, wow…!”

    “What! Oh really…! Young bastards!! Oh my, you had a good day today! Just go to the hospital…!”

    Phew.

    A middle-aged man punched a police officer.

    It was an incredibly accurate punch, hard to believe it was from a drunk person, but the sound was somewhat dull.

    “Uh…?”

    “……Huh?”

    The middle-aged man, the young police officer, and everyone else were surprised.

    “Why, why is my strength…?”

    “Suddenly, the magic disappeared…?”

    Passs.

    A very brief moment.

    In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man’s little remaining hair turned pure white.

    “Seo, could it be Zenloss…?!”

    “Oh, no! That can’t be possible! My, the power given to me!! Miracle, miracle disappearing!!”

    The middle-aged man, who had retreated from the young policeman, was fiddling with himself and waving his hands.

    Boom, boom, boom!

    The fists and feet that had been thrown wildly to the point of destroying the entire platform had become nothing more than the drunkenness of a drunkard, and the fist that had caused blood to flow from the lips of a person with extraordinary ability only hit the plastic vending machine cover.

    “Ugh! That can’t be possible! I, I…!!!”

    Above all.

    “No…! Get out! My, my head?!?!”

    The hair of the middle-aged man reflected in the mirror was not only turning pure white, but whenever he moved violently, it fluttered on either side of his shoulders and fell to the floor.

    Even the eyebrows.

    “Ugh, wow!!”

    The middle-aged man screamed and struggled.

    But that roar didn’t last long.

    “Wow!”

    “…You are under arrest.”

    Wiping the blood with his sleeve, the young policeman subdued the man who had fallen to the ground and grabbed his wrist.

    “You have the right to remain silent…ah, handcuffs…?”

    Is it because it was so shocking?

    When I tried to use it, the handcuffs were dented and wouldn’t close, making them useless.

    “Damn, if you do this-”

    Whirling.

    Something flew from somewhere.

    I thought someone might have snapped the rubber band, but that was definitely the object that fell in front of the young police officer.

    “…Tangerine peel?”

    Wow.

    The tangerine peel, peeled and dried in a straight line as if a child was playing, instantly wrapped around the middle-aged man’s wrist like handcuffs.

    “Ha, haha….”

    Slurp.

    The young police officer sat down.

    “Hey, over there! Outside!!”

    “Outside, the sun is shining!!”

    Beep beep.

    All kinds of calls are coming in to Taegeuk Watch, which has stopped working.

    “…Everyone, stay safe-”

    Ppaaa!!

    “…Oh, yes. Did you say this was bid in the shade of the sun?”

    It was a very loud villain alarm that had only just gone off, but everyone, including the young police officer, laughed for no reason at the alarm hitting their eardrums.

    somewhere.

    In the darkness, I felt like I had returned to the original world.

    * * *

    [I didn’t even know it was daytime.]

    It was so dark that I thought it was night.

    Although the wristwatch of the watch showed the time, the image of the surrounding world was more impressive than the perception seen through the watch.

    The whole world was full of darkness.

    Because it was a world without a single light, it was filled with only darkness.

    ‘This is wrong.’

    There is nothing anymore where Amgil-dong used to be.

    There is only the sunlight that seeps through the hole in the ceiling created by the open sky, and the light is so clear that it makes you think that the shadow of dust may be momentarily passing by.

    Sreuk.

    He extends the goblin bat, which is made like a madman’s sword, forward.

    Although it was an object created with magical power, the shadow was as clear as the concentration of magical power.

    I aimed it at my neck.

    [The devil.]

    It’s plausible.

    [It may have been a devil, but not anymore.]

    I proved that I am not the devil.

    Even if it is a devil, it is clear that it is a different devil from the devil they now know.

    And what if it’s the devil?

    The person who occupies the devil’s body is the human Do Ji-hwan, and he says he will live as a human regardless of whether he is in the devil’s body or not.

    [Amgil-dong. If someone else had come instead of me, you would have said this.]

    Make everyone Korean.

    Speak Korean, live in Korea, and awaken the abilities that Koreans naturally use.

    -He speaks the Korean language in the land of Joseon and follows Joseon’s laws and morals. How can it be said that he is not a Korean?

    If you interpret the words a little twistedly, all those who are not like that are not Koreans or Koreans, so just get rid of them.

    All we have to do is eliminate foreigners, kill them, and convert until everyone on this land becomes Korean.

    [I’ll give it back as is.]

    Even if he is a devil, if he has a human way of thinking, uses human language, and lives with humans in human society, is he a devil or a human?

    Even if I’m a devil, it’s okay as long as the people in the world recognize me as a human and not a devil.

    [It doesn’t matter whether it’s a devil or something else. Because I decided to live as a human in this world.]

    and.

    [I am a being that is qualitatively different from you, so even if I call you a devil, I am sorry, but I have no intention of getting involved with a devil like you.]

    More solid proof than any other evidence that I am human.

    [Before I was a devil, I was a father of a child.]

    I am a married man.

    A father of one child.

    I am a being who has succeeded in creating a life from me, and has succeeded in leaving behind evidence as a life that I was born and existed on this earth.

    [I am from Earth.]

    I finally became a being living in this world, this planet, this Earth.

    [How dare a devil who has never even made children with the woman he loves?]

    Even if I were a devil, it could be said that I have become a being that transcends existing devils.

    [He is not qualified to enter Neo Dongtan.]

    Roughly speaking, we could call them half-humans and half-horses, or ‘evil people’ by combining devils and humans.

    “Teacher!!”

    Suddenly.

    The doors to the main auditorium open.

    “Are you okay?!”

    Ymir ran toward me, clad in brilliant gold.

    [Ymir. Do you see me as a human or a devil?]

    “…I don’t know what you talked about with Amgil-dong.”

    Ymir slowly approached me and hugged me tightly.

    “In front of my eyes, I only see patriots.”

    [okay. That’s enough.]

    Even the devil can be patriotic.

    That’s enough.

    [I just came to the academy, so I’ll let you know. The masterpiece of our organization, ‘The Final Plan’. A masterpiece that takes the group to the next level to conquer this country.]

    I placed Ymir on the podium in the exact center.

    [Project, ‘True Patriotism’.]

    “Ahh…! Well, a little bit here and now…!!”

    [It’s not about patriotism, it’s about a real plan.]

    “……It’s a devilish joke.”

    [No joke.]

    The name of the plan is simply ‘True Patriotism.’

    [What were you thinking, you patriotic devil?]

    Demon of patriotism.

    Her name is Ymir.
