Attack of the Beasts

Time passed, and once again, the time for the world to be in chaos had arrived.

Yes, to put it simply, it was time for me to carry out the terrorism.

‘Of course, I intend to hide the fact that this terrorism, like the previous Alpha incident, is my doing.’

The reasons weren’t much different from before.

To minimize making enemies, and to avoid being set up as a scapegoat and killed if things went wrong.

Additionally, carrying out large-scale terrorism under Eclipse’s name would draw too much attention, and in fact, there was a high possibility of being cut off at Astra’s level before the terrorism even began.

‘This time we’re directly attacking the city.’

It’s a different issue from releasing Alpha who was imprisoned.

Should I say it’s the difference between releasing beasts that will slaughter people and committing the slaughter directly oneself?

Both would be criticized, but the intensity of hatred towards the person would be different.

‘Moreover, since there are things to do during the terrorism, it’s better not to draw attention as much as possible.’

Because there’s a possibility of being interfered with.

So, I need a scapegoat who will take the blame in my place and oversee this terrorism overall.

“Roy-ssi. Are you ready?”

“Of course.”

For such reasons, that guy would be perfect as a scapegoat.

“It’s ready to appear at any time.”

I smiled brightly at Roy, who was checking the deployment.

“Those are the beasts that will appear this time, right?”

Various animals that one might see in a zoo, including dogs and cats, were captured in front of my eyes.

Interestingly, although all the animals were confined in one cage, they were waiting quietly without any noise.

“Yes, my masterpieces.”

Roy raised the corners of his mouth, looking at the beasts.

The cage we were looking at had a large mark ‘1’ engraved on it.

When I turned my head, there was a cage marked ‘2’, and then another marked ‘3’.

“They look grotesque.”

“Why? I think they look cute in their own way.”

Compared to cage 1, which contained the complete forms of the original species, the appearances in cages 2 and 3 looked more like unfinished beasts.

A more unpleasant appearance, as if clumsily imitating animals.

Moreover, they were less controlled than number 1, and the sight of them spewing beast-like cries towards me was a terrible visual that I couldn’t possibly like.

I was disgusted by their appearance, but Roy was looking at them as if they were genuinely cute.

‘I guess even a hedgehog thinks its own child is pretty.’

Anyway, as long as the preparations were well done, it didn’t matter, so I had no intention of commenting on his peculiar taste.

“You’ve finished deploying the cages in each location, right?”

“I finished it all yesterday, so there’s no problem.”

“Any worries about someone tampering with them in the meantime?”

“They would have just been snacks for the beasts.”

Roy expressed confidence in the perfect preparation for the terrorism.

Afterwards, I finished cross-checking through his explanation and my direct confirmation, and gave the okay sign.

“It would be perfect if we just carry out the terrorism.”

“Yes, I need to complete the perfect research material by obtaining more data from this terrorism.”

Obtaining more data.. I certainly explained it that way to Roy.

I nodded and smiled as usual.

“I’ll come to check occasionally during the terrorism to see if things are going well.”

Just as I said that last part and turned my steps in the opposite direction.

“..Wait, Maker.”

Roy stopped me.

“Do you have something more to say?”

“..Take this.”

When I turned around and asked at his call, he seemed to ponder for a moment before handing over a bundle of papers.

“What’s this?”

The identity of the paper bundle was a manual for controlling the beasts in the cages.

“It’s a simple control manual. I thought it would be good for you to know how to handle them too, just in case of emergency.”

At his words, I opened the manual.

Neatly organized control methods and detailed pages.

It was a manual with traces left here and there, as if handwritten directly.

‘With this.. I could handle it if there’s a problem.’

Of course, to handle the beasts, I’d have to go to the control room where Roy will be during the terrorism.

Anyway, it was good for me to have.

I was going to steal it later if he didn’t give it to me, so this worked out well.

“Thank you, Roy-ssi. Then I suppose we’re done here?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll be going then. I’m counting on you.”

“..Me too. I’m counting on you.”

With Roy’s words, I moved my feet again and headed out to the street.

“Oppa. Did you finish talking?”

“Yes, Ga-yeon. Let’s head back to headquarters now.”

Ga-yeon came trotting towards me as I came out to the street.

With her help, I was able to return to Eclipse headquarters without anyone knowing.

This was the story of the day before the terrorism.

When do people feel a sense of crisis?

[Wow guys! There’s a safari outside! There’s even a lion! Li]

When faced with a huge beast they can’t handle right in front of them?

[Damn, how dare that worthless bitch surpass me? It’s so annoying]

When someone they thought was far below them beats them?

[Ah, I just woke up an hour before the deadline.]

Or like some writer who wakes up to find themselves in trouble.

These are all stories sufficient to make anyone feel a sense of crisis, and since each case is different, it’s not easy to rank them.

Then for what reasons do they feel this sense of crisis?

While there are various factors involved, if we consider the overall characteristics of these, there was one common feature.

[This is the first time, so it feels really weird]

That is, unfamiliarity.

The awkwardness of feeling that it’s the first time or an uncommon event, and the sense that something is wrong.

I thought this was the very basic framework for feeling a sense of crisis.

The anxiety experienced due to awkwardness.

What if it no longer becomes awkward here?

[……]

[ㅋㅋ Damn bitch overtook me again. Fine, eat it all up you pig.]

[..Wouldn’t committing seppuku as an apology be enough?]

The answer is simple.

If it becomes familiar, you no longer feel a sense of crisis towards the other party.

It’s similar to how the sense of fear decreases the more you see horror games or unidentified monsters.

And it was similar in the hero world where terrorism occurs as often as eating meals.

[Damn, I’m lacking dopamine.]

[It’s a bit boring, isn’t there anything fun?]

In a world where dozens of terrorist attacks occur every day, terrorism wasn’t something that greatly stimulated their interest.

It would only be stimulating if they directly experienced an incident they usually only saw on the news, or if it was a unique type of incident they had never seen before.

[Bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored]

[Those who want something interesting to happen now, thumbs upㅋㅋ]

Therefore, in a world where only terrorism occurs, it wasn’t an awkward sight to see people seeking dopamine.

[Maker Terrorism Mad Movie Collection]

[Honestly, they should show Phantom Luna’s leash play again for the viewers]

[Aren’t you going to renew Ice Queen’s tentacle play? I’ve been using it as a side dish for a year now, but honestly, if you have a conscience, you should make more side dishes!!]

And it was Maker who properly grasped the appearance of such people and took a unique path different from others.

Thanks to this, he was able to solidify his position and be properly recognized by people.

[n-time Retaker]: Maker’s terrorism is interestingly different from other bastards’ ㅋㅋ

[Family Expander]: I like the give-and-take with the little subordinate he brings aroundㅋㅋㅋ

↳ [Polia is Nong Nong]: ㅋㅋ Nong. Noooooooongㅋㅋㅋ

[Bocchi the Pianist]: Do the Ice Queen tentacle play and Phantom Luna leash play again..

[Harem King]: Or try doing it with other female heroes too..

After 2 years, the overall impression of Maker became very positive.

[Control Your Anger Well]: A guy who doesn’t cause big problems if he just follows the lines he’s drawn.

[Is This Real?]: For a villain, he always goes around smiling so he feels kind.

[Secretary is Working Overtime Again Today]: He’s handsome, what else needs to be said?

A villain, but a bit different from other villains, a strange guy.

A nice guy who’s okay as long as he doesn’t cross the line first.

He hadn’t precisely predicted how people would react, but at least he had twisted and guided people’s thoughts.

In just 2 years, he went from an ordinary person to a villain whose name everyone in the country had heard at least once.

He might not be a genius, but it was clear that Maker had some talent in handling people.

And because he was such a Maker, he knew.

That these people couldn’t be made to feel a sense of crisis with ordinary terrorism.

[Tomorrow’s Bomb King]: I plan to carry out terrorism at A District – 11th Street. If you value your life, quickly offer money.

↳[ㅇㅇ]: Bullshit

↳[Secretary is Working Overtime Again Today]: Don’t really piss people off. I don’t want to work overtime.

For them, bombs exploding and the laughter of madmen were very familiar.

Then how should Maker carry out this terrorism so that people can feel tension and become immersed?

‘I need to make it awkward, as if they’ve suddenly woken up from a dream.’

A sight rarely seen.

Or a distortion of the everyday.

Like the sudden silence felt on a familiar path on a dark night.

Or something like an alien battleship suddenly appearing in the sky could be given as examples.

-Maker. I’ll start the terrorism soon.

Fortunately, this terrorism met the basic minimum conditions for people to feel tense.

A massive, gigantic terrorism targeting a district, seeing beasts that increasingly deviate from animal forms – it’s impossible not to feel tension.

So the remaining work for Maker here is to create a ‘precursor’ that makes people feel strange.

There wasn’t much of that either.

Just one photo was enough.

[Hey, what’s this..?]

(A photo of various types of animals forming a group.)

(A photo of various types of animals filling the street.)

(A video of murmuring people and animals blankly staring ahead without saying anything.)

It’s fucking bizarre.

===

It started from within the community.

Maker smiled as he watched people slowly falling into confusion.

Probably in a few more minutes, the entire district would fall into a state of pandemonium.

“Shall we start moving?”

Maker stood up as he saw his companions approaching.

“Grr! If it weren’t for the Boss’s orders, going around with you…”

“Is it starting? This should be fun.”

“I-I’ll do my best..!”

The executives warming up while each making their unique voices.

Woong-

Maker created a mask with his ability and put it on while staring at the street.

Now, it was time to do some house robbery.
