“So, what was I talking about?”

    A building that doesn’t get a single ray of sunlight.

    A man wearing a luxurious black uniform and a half-mask covering the upper half of his face smiled broadly and tapped his thigh with his fingers.

    “……”

    “You won’t keep saying that, will you?”

    “……”

    “I’m bored.”

    Despite the man’s urging, his conversation partner remained silent, sweat dripping down his face.

    “Hmm.”

    Crunch.

    “Yes, yes! You said that you were possessed by a novel you used to read. Aahhh!! Ahem! And the world we live in now is, in fact, a world within a novel! You said that it is a world where it is difficult for citizens to live. Aahhh!!!”

    The opponent shouts with all his might as he feels the weight of the heavy gun on his head.

    The man who saw him seemed to like it, so he put the gun on the desk and tapped his thigh with his finger again.

    “Yes. The world in the novel. Isn’t it ridiculous? Not only did they kidnap a person who was living well and turn him into a baby, but they also had to possess him in this place…”

    The man who had been maintaining the conversation broke out in a cold sweat as he thought of the half-masked man sitting on top of him, his arms and legs fixed.

    “Villains cause trouble several times a day, and the heroes who have to fight them are slacking off. The citizens are the ones who have to suffer all this.”

    sniffling.

    The man picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip.

    When he lifted the teacup, a red liquid dripped down. However, it did not enter the contents, so the man paid no attention and put the teacup back down.

    “Haa.. Citizens really have no way to survive. If they’re unlucky enough to meet a villain, it’s over.”

    “……”

    “The heroes always show up late, the damage to the citizens only increases as the story progresses, and on top of that, in the latter half, oh my…”

    The tired expression that had appeared until just a moment ago disappeared in an instant, and the man smiled brightly again and crossed his legs.

    “The reason I became a villain is because of that. If I continued living like an ordinary citizen, I felt like I would get my back broken in a fight between whales.”

    “… Have you ever thought about working for the hero side?”

    “I’ve thought about that too. But things have been going on for some reason…”

    Beep beep beep!

    While they were talking for a while, the man’s words were interrupted by the sound of an alarm.

    The man sighed in regret and got up from the young man who had been his chair and conversation partner.

    “Ah, it’s time to go.”

    “..Oh, is that so! I, I’m really sorry. But if you have to go, I can’t help it, so I’ll leave now…”

    The moment the young man, who was lying face down on the ground, looked up and saw the man, his expression instantly brightened.

    Crunch.

    “…Huh?”

    “I’m really sorry too.”

    At one point, the man pointed his gun at the young man.

    “Why, why why..”

    “Ah, I guess it’s because I told you everything that was on my mind after such a long time, but you really liked it.”

    For a moment, it seemed like time had stopped.

    The young man’s trembling eyes and the man’s eyes, which had now turned golden, met each other.

    “Why, why you little punk..!! I, I listened to everything!! I said I’d spare you if you listened to everything you said.. I said I’d spare you!!!!!”

    The man scratched his cheek in embarrassment as he saw the young man shuddering and screaming, perhaps because he was extremely excited.

    “I’m sorry, B-class villain, Mr. Blue Scope. I have no choice but to survive.”

    “My, my death and your life, what, what does that have to do with anything!!!”

    “Um..”

    The man hesitated for a moment, then smiled and answered her.

    “You, a former B-class villain, are about to accidentally ingest an S-class elixir. It’s an elixir that dramatically increases the amount of mana you have in your body… You know how good it is that you, a former B-class villain, have become close to an S-class villain, right?”

    “You, you little shit then..”

    “Yes, I really want the elixir. A weak villain like me needs to eat something like that to survive.”

    The villain and Blue Scope’s faces turned bright red at the words of the man who spoke nonchalantly with a bright smile.

    “Stop being a jerk!! F—k!! You killed all my men! What’s weak about you! What’s weak about you!!!!”

    “The ones that were killed while draining all of their magical power were barely C-rank. If I were to give them a positive evaluation, there were a few villains that were close to C+-rank, but if they used all of their magical power to just take care of that many, wouldn’t they be considered weak? ”

    “ Ji, don’t get bored, don’t get boredom! ”

    Bluescope begins to twist violently as the man gradually raises his hand over the trigger.

    Was it because he was truly on the verge of death? When he met the man’s inanimate eyes, his face gradually turned pale and he began to beg him again.

    “Sa, save me. If I, if I were the elixir, I would give it to you…”

    “Goodbye. Villain, Blue Scope. Thanks to you, I was able to reveal my secret after a long time.”

    “..This crazy bird-”

    Taang!!

    A loud gunshot echoes across the empty building.

    In response, Blue Scope collapsed, producing red flowers.

    The man who was looking at him turned around, picked up his smartphone, and made a call.

    “’Maker’ is the boss. The Blue Scope drug trafficking company has been destroyed successfully. And we will burn everything, taking only a few items as evidence.”

    -…Thank you for your hard work, Maker.

    “I can do anything for the leader.”

    -…Another nonsense.

    “What nonsense, Commander, how much I like you..”

    Stop.

    As he cut him off and the phone call ended, the man who called himself a maker smacked his lips in regret.

    “It would be easy if we could seduce the commander, right, Mr. Scope?”

    “……”

    “Ah, you’re already dead.”

    The man, holding the back of his neck awkwardly, slowly moved forward.

    “I’m sorry, Mr. Scope, I told you. I had to do it to survive.”

    Behind every shining hero comic, the sacrifice of the citizens has always been essential.

    And now the man who was destined to become one of those citizens hated that fate.

    “Sigh, there’s nothing I can’t do to survive. Even if it means being trash, I have to do it to survive.”

    That’s why the man took the path of a villain.

    Because that was the best way to live in the world that the man knew.

    “Ah, I found the elixir.”

    A man whose only goal is to live as long and as long as possible will do anything.

    Whether it’s seducing women, committing terrorism, or getting the chance to get what’s in a novel.

    By any means necessary.

    The man walked forward.
