by fnovelpiaOn the right is Lee Ha-neul.
On the left is Soyerin.
The body temperature felt warm from both sides, but seeing the two crying with strong emotions made it impossible for me to react positively.
“Oppa Seongjin… ! I really knew what was going to happen to my brother… Ugh!”
“Seongjin. are you okay… ? Didn’t those guys do something strange?”
Lee Ha-neul is sobbing and So Ye-rin is whimpering.
“Uh, uh. I’m fine… .”
My conscience was pricked because I could see that I was emotionally invested, but I endured it to the limit.
‘This body is all sin. ‘It’s a sin.’
Instead, karma is blamed on the fate of the original.
“Seongjin, you are safe.”
Beyond the pretty beauties, Park Min-wook, with a dull expression, looked at me and said.
“Yes. I don’t know how this happened to me either… .”
“Could you give me a detailed explanation?”
“I can tell you right away. But.”
The unfortunate heroes clinging to their bodies have no intention of falling off.
It’s not a bad idea for the three of us to be hugging each other, but shouldn’t resolving the current situation be a priority?
I comforted the two whimpering people and finally calmed them down.
The synopsis I prepared was like this.
The day before the incident, that is, before the conflict between the heroes and the two religious forces began in earnest.
Kim Seong-jin, who was preparing to compete, lost his mind due to a mysterious force. But I don’t know where I lost my mind.
When I opened my eyes, I was evacuated to a place with unidentifiable people.
The face was completely hidden, so I couldn’t see it at all. Anyway, that’s it.
And although it seemed like I was subjected to an experiment whose meaning I couldn’t understand, I didn’t feel anything wrong with my body.
It is literally something close to the perfect crime.
“Did you undergo an experiment?”
“Yes… .”
As I answered feigning gloom, Lee Ha-neul silently raised her magic power next to me.
-Ssssut.
A warm energy passing through your body.
It was a healing ability possessed by Lee Ha-neul.
“I don’t feel anything wrong with Seongjin oppa’s body.”
oh my god.
At what point did I even have a professional doctor?
It seemed like there was no need to worry about retirement.
Even though Lee Ha-neul received treatment once, that alone does not put her at ease.
“It may be a completely different type of interference.”
Park Min-wook made a sharp point with good timing.
It’s so effective that the already worried expressions of the two people become even more cloudy.
Several conversations took place after that.
There was no significant result.
At least as long as I was involved in this conversation, progress in the investigation would be difficult.
…Am I a bit of a bad guy?
Still, if you look at the results, isn’t the situation much better compared to the original?
There were no deaths among the heroes who fought against believers, and they only suffered serious injuries.
The raid team was also intercepted in advance to prevent civilians from being massacred.
It was fun to use this body to my heart’s content.
Is it because the specs themselves are fraudulent?
Even though he had no knowledge of combat, his instinctive potential was almost fully covered.
The world has become abuzz with the activities of heroes.
That’s right, it’s not just one or two people.
It was an act of terrorism carried out simultaneously by hundreds of fanatics.
If only the association hadn’t ripped off the information in advance.
How many people who went about their daily lives without knowing anything have died?
Citizens praised the association and its heroes by calling them names.
The Republic of Korea became one in front of the victory of justice, creating an almost festive atmosphere.
The religious terrorist attack was half-successful, and citizens who lost their families pour out their resentment and anger at the association and the heroes.
The worldview that cast a shadow of despair over the Republic of Korea no longer exists.
It was a correct world view, and it was truly a happy ending.

A little more time passes.
Due to the information obtained through additional interrogation, the heroes headed somewhere.
“What the hell… .”
I held my breath as I looked at the scene in Hell where people had been horribly torn to death.
The stench from the decaying corpse paralyzes the sense of smell.
Some heroes couldn’t hold back their rising nausea and left the place.
Krystal and Choi Han-gyeol, who were at the forefront, were quietly lost in thought as they watched the scene.
Although the body was severely damaged due to decomposition, one thing could be guessed.
That it was never done by a person.
Large marks that looked like they had been crushed by something, or marks that had been pierced or torn by a sharp weapon, were commonly found.
And clear teeth marks.
“These traces. Isn’t it similar to the monsters that fought back then?”
In response to Choi Han-gyeol’s question, another hero approaches and expresses the same sentiment.
“…It’s similar to the condition of the believers who were killed by the monsters at that time.”
As Choi Han-gyeol continued to think, a person came to mind.
An unidentified man with his entire body covered in black, presumed to be a villain.
In fact, we don’t even know the exact gender, but we are guessing based on the stated body type.
‘Just like us, the Shining Church had a ‘certain’ purpose.’
That is a very terrible and vicious purpose.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to leave a scene like this openly unattended.
“You worked as if you were proud of it.”
“Warning, maybe.”
Among the scattered corpses, I saw the face of someone I could identify.
Couldn’t even death drive away fear?
It seemed as if he could feel the comfort of that time in his wide-open, dead eyes.
“Crystal! I think I found the man the cult leader was talking about!”
As I approached the sound of shouting from afar, I saw the appearance of the closest aide I heard during the interrogation.
Although he is missing half his face and has no intact limbs.
It doesn’t matter since all you have to do is identify your identity.
“Report on-site separately. I’m coming back.”
“Okay!”
Choi Han-gyeol.
Krystal is a hero who always sticks to cool-headed reasoning.
I returned to the association with a sense of discomfort that had not been completely resolved from this incident.

“Did you come?”
A room completely stained white.
When I came to, I saw someone sitting at an ordinary table.
A familiar face, a familiar voice.
“You… .”
It was my constellation that I saw once during the last talent search test.
Should we accurately call it an incarnation?
A woman who still has long silky black hair and is wearing a loose hood.
To borrow an industry term, a beautiful woman with a nerd vibe was sitting at the table looking at me.
“See you again.”
Is it because I experienced it once?
It’s not surprising that we were suddenly transported to another world.
I naturally sat across from the constellation.
“Still, it looks much more familiar than at first.”
“Humans are animals of adaptation.”
I smiled and responded to the dry review.
“Why did you call me this time?”
During the last exam, it was just a simple greeting.
I instinctively felt that this meeting would not have a simple purpose like the last time.
“You. Aren’t I afraid?”
“Suddenly?”
“Everyone who was with me went crazy and died. Some of them even called me a parasite or a disease.”
“I guess it was because they were crazy people.”
Are you trying to read my truth?
The constellation had been staring at me for a long time since our last conversation.
It was a very burdensome moment in its own way.
“What do you think of me?”
“Hmm… .”
When I suddenly ask, numerous thoughts pass through my mind.
What on earth are they in this worldview?
god? Constellations? Or is it the source of magical power used by the talented person?
Perhaps, as that constellation said, it may be similar to a parasite.
This is because we have a symbiotic relationship in which we absolutely need each other.
“It’s not easy to decide and think about something.”
“I see.”
-hook.
The space changes.
Before I knew it, there were fires everywhere, and a figure was kneeling among them.
Even if you look at it, it doesn’t look normal.
“That child was consumed by instinct and killed his family.”
The man who was shaking and sobbing suddenly stops his actions and looks back.
“Ugh.”
A face with two sunken eyes and bloody tears flowing out.
However, as if he can see ahead, he mutters while looking exactly in this direction.
“Die. We must be freed from the curse. That’s the devil. It’s the devil… .”
Since I don’t know this person, I don’t think it happened in Korea.
“What happened to that person later?”
“In the end, he died by blowing his own head off.”
It’s a pretty terrible ending.
“Why are you showing me this?”
Is this a new type of suicide recommendation?
“Sometimes, when something comes to mind, I think back for a long time. The beginning of time, before I met you here. When floating in a far away place.”
It’s a pretty profound story.
“That’s hard to understand.”
“It’s a natural reaction. Even we are in a position where we can’t name it properly.”
-hook.
Next is deep darkness. We face hundreds and thousands of sparkling eyes looking at us from beyond.
Their identity was ‘star’.
“We are explorers who seek to satisfy our endless curiosity, and we are infinitely young. That’s why you can’t live without a parent to guide you.
All my brothers have found suitable matrices, but I have never been able to.
Everyone went crazy, died, or cursed me.”
In the middle of the universe.
The constellation and I looked at each other.
“I killed him. I didn’t understand at first, but gradually I realized what he meant. Because we learn.”
Before we knew it, a huge planet had arrived in front of us.
The surface was dark red, as if hell had been created anew.
An ominous energy was flowing out at every moment.
“We give strength to the mother body. In return, the mother body gives us the world.”
“Is that the real body of the Constellation?”
-Nod
There are still many unknowns.
When I read it as a novel, I thought it would just be a moderate growth cheat or something.
It felt like the genre had suddenly shifted to space opera.
“My power is exceptional and strong, and it drives my mother crazy. You are the first person who has looked at me properly and used me.”
Even though they are clearly different from humans.
For some reason, I felt extreme loneliness and emptiness in her eyes.
“You said you wanted to be a hero.”
These were words I said without thinking at the time.
It is also a word that I neatly erased from my mind after confronting those who call themselves believers.
There are too many problems in this world that only I know and that only I can solve to be labeled a hero.
Soon, an experiment released by a crazy group will turn Seoul into a wasteland.
Fenrir, who secretly attacked the auction house, will obtain the child who will later grow up to be a great evil.
In addition, more and more minor problems pile up, foreshadowing a bad ending.
There were truly no answers, and it seemed like a world created to be devastated.
“I was just thinking lightly.”
“You are a truly clear and pure human being. Perhaps it is the award closest to being a ‘hero’.”
A sudden, surprise compliment.
But even if I said something like that in a pitch-black space, it would only stimulate anxiety.
“I will offer anything for that dream. I will actively support it. So please.”
-Keueh…
Along with the constellation’s words, the sound of a blood demon crying sadly comes from inside my head.
“Don’t abandon ‘us’.”
I thought a lot about those words for a long time.
“…Can you just throw that away in the first place?”
“No.”
“What are you doing?”
I really wanted a night of honey, but I held back with great effort.
