Ch.264Chapter 10. Tactical Nuclear Strike (3)

NTR. Adultery.

Splash. Murder.

I sent a trashy drama plot loosely based on the Chunhyang story for my world, and it turned into a perfectly sleazy melodrama.

“I’ve written the work as per your instructions, Manager. Now we’ll start producing the webtoon, drama, and movie in order, starting with the ones that take less time to produce.”

“It couldn’t have been easy to produce. Good job, writer.”

Since it was more convenient for me to communicate directly rather than through Hundun, I spoke directly with the writer who wrote the problematic text.

“Hehe. How could I slack off when you’re paying me to write this kind of material? I get to write what I want and get paid well for it…”

“What? What you want…?”

“Ah, no! That’s not what I meant…! Creating a villainess character like this would likely get censored if submitted normally. Hehehe.”

And so I gathered all the elements from this world that easily turn people into demons, created a fictional character named Han Dan-yeohui, and destroyed Hyangdan’s image.

“Well, that’ll do. Just make sure you properly demolish Hyangdan’s image.”

“Just to clarify, my debut work was a pure love story!”

“Yet I bet you later added a harem in the extras.”

“…That was because readers wanted a harem!”

“Wouldn’t the real readers have preferred it to remain a pure love story?”

“Arghhhh…!!”

What if people don’t realize Han Dan-yeohui refers to Hyangdan because of the name?

“You must have had a hard time changing the name.”

“Oh, for that, I just used the names directly. As you instructed, to make it obvious that it’s an adaptation of Chunhyang, I kept the names of the two protagonists the same. I only twisted Hyangdan’s name a bit to properly ruin her.”

Of course, the protagonists in the work kept their original names as Seong Chunhyang and Lee Mongryong.

“But why did Bangja become Bang Ji-hwan here?”

“He’s a pitiful supporting character in the work, but the type women would probably like the most…?”

“No, I mean why the name Ji-hwan.”

“Hundun strongly recommended that name. Oh, did you want something like Bang Ja-hwan or Bang Ja-yong instead? How about this name, Bang Ja-j—”

“Never mind.”

And somehow Bangja became Bang Ji-hwan, a sympathetic supporting character who comforts Seong Chunhyang, and a chaebol third-generation supporting character named Byun Hakdo appeared to financially support Seong Chunhyang.

“Good job, ‘Netoralatte’.”

“Um, I have a different pen name…”

“The world is calling you that now, so why not adopt it as your pen name?”

“I’m a pure love supporter!”

The internet went wild.

Suspiciously wealthy NTR supporters were showering praise on the author who wrote Bangja’s Story, Neo Chunhyang, and K-Villainess Han Dan-yeohui.

“Even though my job this time was to write about adultery and NTR, I believe pure love is the truth!”

“That’s hard to believe when all your previous works were harems.”

“……”

“Where’s the pure love in your works? They’re all harem-pure love, adultery-pure love, even rape-pure love. Every single one is perfect for turning people into demons if read carelessly. Is this what pure love has become…?”

“If, if I get to write a new work…! Then I’ll write real pure love…!”

“Well, fine. I’ll look forward to that next time. For now, send ‘that thing’ over. You can send it through Hundun.”

“Ah, yes! Please take care of it…!”

Now that the novel is out in the world, with the story completed and rapidly being reproduced through OSMU, all that’s left is to watch the burning bait and wait for the fish to cross the line.

In what sense did it cause a commotion? Well, even though they’re fictional characters, these stories are typical of what you might see in modern times, so people started getting overly immersed.

As it began spreading in formats like web dramas, the situation started snowballing.

“Oppa. Did you see the 12-minute web drama that was uploaded?”

“Yeah. That’s Hundun for you. Pressuring his underlings to produce videos right away.”

In the video, E-rank ability user Seong Chunhyang and her childhood friend, B-rank ability user Lee Mongryong, were portrayed as having had feelings for each other since childhood.

But the story we prepared was a trashy drama.

In the final ending, Seong Chunhyang fixes her makeup and cuts her hair, determined to make a fresh start, while Bang Ji-hwan and Byun Hakdo support her through friendly competition, and Lee Mongryong surrenders to his instincts with Han Dan-yeohui, who’s dressed in very provocative clothing, at a hotel.

And the netizens’ reactions were exactly the effect I wanted.

-The husband is Bang Ji-hwan. I won’t accept any objections.

-No, the husband is Byun Hakdo~ In reality, the handsome, tall, rich guy always wins~

-People mentioning strange husbands instead of the real husband should all go “Mongryong”…^^

-Your wife is Han Dan-yeohuilol

Setting aside the reactions to each character.

The world became divided, but this alone isn’t enough to create demons.

What’s important is making the real demon angry.

-So in the end, Hyangdan is the bitch who deserves to be torn apart?

Malice toward the modern reinterpretation of Hyangdan began to gather.

-Ugh, how can a woman like that exist? I’m afraid to get married in case I meet someone like herlol

-You couldn’t get married anyway lol

-Says the person who married Hyangdan

-Says the wannabe Lee Mongryong

Men felt visceral disgust toward Hyangdan, who intentionally approached men to ruin them and collect death insurance.

-Sisters? I’m trembling after seeing Han Dan-yeohui TT I’m scared there might be women like her around TT

-If you look carefully, they’re everywhere. Honestly, shouldn’t we all live like Han Dan-yeohui? hh….

-So women like that turn ability users into demons… I see… Is Han Dan-yeohui here?

So creepy.

-What are you talking about, you all meet other men behind everyone’s backs ㅡㅡ

-Just because you do that doesn’t mean all women in the world do~

Women fiercely expressed their disgust, afraid others might view them as beings like Hyangdan.

In the end, only Hyangdan became everyone’s villainess.

If there’s a minor problem that arose because of this:

“Oppa. According to a local newspaper in Namwon, someone’s writing ‘adulteress’ next to the Hyangdan mascot character all over Namwon City.”

“We’ve caused unintended trouble.”

You know how people in real life curse at actors who play villain roles in dramas?

Like how an actor specializing in villain roles got hit by an ajumma who was too immersed in a drama when he went to a traditional market, so he couldn’t go to markets freely.

Or how an actor who played a sex offender in a social commentary film acted so creepily well that even his family couldn’t approach him for about a week.

It’s fine when it’s just a novel, but when it’s performed through real actors in plays, movies, or dramas, people tend to get more immersed.

“Won’t the actors suffer? Hmph.”

“If they’re getting 1 billion won per episode, they account for all that. It’s just an occupational hazard for actors.”

“But there won’t be a demon coming to kill you at night because you ruined a character that’s the motif for their nickname.”

“That demon is the one I’m trying to kill.”

All of this is to lure Hyangdan.

Whoosh.

A plane passes through the sky.

Above the plane heading to Gimhae after passing over Ulleungdo, something black glinted and slowly began falling toward our pension.

It was like a wooden supply box falling from the sky, and as it landed, it descended very slowly and gently touched down on the ground.

With the power of magic.

It was an express delivery sent by Hundun via the Syndicate’s private jet.

“It’s here.”

“Is that….”

“Yes. This is the bait that can lure out Laplace’s demon over there.”

I opened the box and took out the contents.

It was just a single Taegeuk watch.

Not just any Taegeuk watch, but one belonging to a certain being.

“If I were Laplace’s demon, I’d go kill the writer who made Hyangdan like this.”

“…Even so, would she take this bait?”

“Yes. I guarantee it.”

There’s even an author who deliberately looked me up, maybe ego-searching after writing a 5,700-character review on a reader community, and put me into this world. Wouldn’t the same apply to a character from that author’s world?

“Tracking posts online is no big deal. Hye-ra, how’s your magic?”

“Enough. Even for fighting.”

“No, I’ll do the fighting. I need you to set up a barrier. Considering the location.”

I put the Taegeuk watch on my wrist and fully prepared for battle.

“I should wait in a place that suits what Hyangdan did.”

Beep, beep.

The Taegeuk watch on my wrist is flashing.

The GPS tracking function is emitting a signal.

At that time, near Incheon Port, on the second floor of an office.

“Heh. This writer’s name is Netoralatte?”

“Yes, yes. Everyone calls him that….”

In a room filled with thick smoke, a black-haired woman quickly flipped through paper documents, examining them in an instant.

Next to her, men in Hawaiian shirts were eyeing each other, their gazes directed at a man with checkered glasses sitting in front of a computer.

“Agya, hurry up and find it. The guest is waiting.”

“Ah, yes…! I’ll find it soon! If I track the IP address where the post was uploaded…huh?”

The man with glasses was shocked, his mouth hanging open.

“Um, I found it, but….”

“Where is it?”

“Well, that’s.”

The man seemed uncomfortable speaking, swallowing before opening his mouth.

“It’s here….”

“Let me see. …What’s wrong with this place?”

“Ah, well. Guest, um, how should I put this, um….”

“What about this place?”

The woman, Hyangdan, tilted her head.

“Isn’t this just an island next to Mokpo?”

“…….”

“Let’s see, the name is… Angel Island? So, the writer who wrote this Hyangdan story or whatever is currently living on this Angel Island, right?”

“……According to the hack, yes.”

“Well then.”

Crunch.

The woman crushed the metal baseball bat in her hand and grinned.

“I guess I should pay a visit to see their face. Hehehe.”
