“Huh?”

I stiffened.

“Uh…?”

And Jin Seo-yoon also stiffened.

“Yerin. Don’t you know So Ye-rin?”

“Well, who…”

“Don’t lie.”

“I really don’t know.”

When I asked with a serious expression, he answered with his eyes shaking.

“How do you not know So Yerin?”

No matter how much you devoted yourself to developing your strength without a care in the world, you couldn’t possibly not know So Ye-rin, right?

It really makes no sense at all.

If Jin Seo-yoon really went through the same first episode as the original that I know, there is no way I would not recognize the character So Ye-rin.

There are only a handful of villains in the story who have gained as much notoriety as So Ye-rin.

This is because he is a villain who single-handedly submerged one of the three major artificial islands in Korea.

“Epic’s downfall, don’t you know this?”

“I know. But…that’s…”

I was dazed by the words that followed, as if I had been hit hard on the head.

“Kim Seongjin, you did it.”

“…What?”

“You single-handedly blocked us and said terrible things about showing us something fun…”

And that moment.

Strange sounds began to be heard, as if the video had been distorted.

‘I can’t send you guys there easily. You can watch a fun performance for the first time in a while, so you can’t ruin it.’

A familiar voice.

The pitch and tone are similar, but there is a unique, unpleasant arrogance embedded in the tone of speech.

“Wait.”

“Why, why are you like this?”

Jin Seo-yoon asked anxiously, but there was no time to answer calmly.

What is this memory?

A strange and terrible sensation that seemed to be injected into my head regardless of my intention.

I can’t continue thinking.

I was so absorbed in the huge flow that suddenly took place that I even forgot to breathe.

At that moment, Jin Seo-yoon’s appearance, which seemed hesitant until a moment ago, gradually changes.

He was wearing combat clothes, not everyday clothes, and his body had wounds here and there as if he had just been in battle.

The sword in his hand is covered in monster blood.

The corners of his eyes, which had been drooping without confidence, gained strength, and his straight-willed gaze glared at me.

The Jin Seo-yoon I knew and admired was exactly the same.

Then she opened her mouth.

“What are you talking about…?”

The familiar dark green woman at the head of the heroes blocking my path shows deep disgust.

Next to her was Saint Lee Ha-neul.

He is standing there with the same expression as when he once cursed me terribly in a dream.

My mouth moved and spat out words.

“Are you deaf? This means don’t interfere with my entertainment.”

-Kwaang!!

A huge, shuddering tremor hit us.

I instinctively turned to look at the source of the incident.

When I looked back, there was a huge burning island.

An island that once had tall buildings showing off its epic grandeur.

Now, big explosions are occurring and the place is collapsing so much that it is impossible to find a place that is still intact.

I knew this situation.

Why didn’t I remember it until now?

no.

What I remembered was definitely…

This is So Ye-rin crying, completely blackened.

Looking back on my memories, there was no significant interference from So Ye-rin, who was working with the intention of destroying Epic.

Jin Seo-yoon said.

Epic’s downfall was my fault.

And she doesn’t even know So Ye-rin exists.

then.

Facts about the original that I didn’t know, or about the first episode that Jin Seo-yoon knew about.

As I blocked the heroes who had dispatched myself, did I become unaware of Soyerin’s existence?

Was he that crazy? No, you’re crazy.

Because Kim Seong-jin clearly had the power to do that at the time.

Just because it is entertainment, it is worth standing proudly in front of the main force of the Hero Association.

Enough to single-handedly block all the heroes on the scene, his ability to deal with blood demons, and his fundamental strength as a single person.

Kim Seong-jin’s arrogance and bold action always had a valid basis.

But why bother?

Why did this person who hates humans make an exception for So Ye-rin?

Why did he personally come forward and help her commit terrorism?

Because we belong to the same Fenrir?

My head is ringing.

While possessing such strong abilities, body, and potential.

We are extremely vulnerable to phenomena coming from within.

“…kill it.”

Jin Seo-yoon comes in with magical power.

The figure is getting closer and closer.

“Take a look. Watching the bugs wriggle around is a great entertainment.”

I still countered Jin Seo-yoon’s threats with arrogance.

It was never my will.

Numerous cracks opened in the gray air, and hideous blood demons came out in abundance.

Jin Seo-yoon, who was charging, also lost her goal due to the army of blood demons that soon attacked.

Once again.

Seongjin Kim recreates hell without any hesitation.

Many heroes lost their lives in the battle that day.

It’s disgusting.

It should never exist. For true happiness, for the sake of the normality I knew, Kim Seong-jin was a person who should not be alive.

He is a character designed solely to create a sense of great crisis.

The meaning and value of the name have changed so much.

I didn’t want to see that happen, so I achieved Lee Ha-neul’s awakening without sacrifice.

Soyerin, which would later submerge the artificial island, was somehow recovered.

Team Leader Park, who will be used as an important linking measure, also identified weaknesses.

Also, semi-compulsory cooperation was received from Jin Seo-yoon, the main character of the original work.

All of that was an action to somehow see the light in this unanswerable worldview.

And Kim Seong-jin after everything was over.

What should I do now that I have become the final boss, Kim Seong-jin, who should not exist?

I admire heroes.

I liked Jin Seo-yoon, who was active without giving up even in the face of the most desperate situations.

I turned my eyes away from the heroes who were engaged in a desperate struggle with the blood demons and looked at the artificial island.

Unusual explosions were still occurring.

There must be So Ye-rin, the rampaging villain at the center.

There is So Ye-rin, who abandoned an entire artificial island to the point where she didn’t even leave her name in the article, even though it was submerged.

From that moment on, all identities of villains belonging to Fenrir are completely obscured.

No one recognized So Ye-rin, who disappeared along with the artificial island.

I thought I had to help her now.

That’s why I took a step back.

One step, two steps.

Just like I did in the talent search test, I moved my legs aimlessly and without any sense of purpose.

and.

Due to interference from something, it was pushed back as if grabbed.

“What are you doing!”

It wakes me up.

Only then did I return to reality.

A rooftop railing with half a body hanging over it.

Why am I doing this?

“What is this.”

Jin Seo-yoon’s face is seen breathing anxiously.

He was holding my collar tightly, as if he had been blocking me just a moment ago.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden…!”

“What. Me?”

“While talking, he suddenly became strange and tried to commit suicide?!”

You tried to fall off the roof? I?

I have no memory.

To be precise, I only remember struggling in a fantasy.

Is sleepwalking unreasonable?

Still, I think it’s a satisfying benefit to have realized an important fact.

“Hmm.”

I pretended like nothing had happened and tried to lighten the mood by calming my voice.

Now, there was an unusual suspicion in the eyes that Jin Seo-yoon was looking at me.

“…Are you okay…?”

“I’m like this sometimes.”

I smiled at Jin Seo-yoon, who still couldn’t calm her expression.

Perhaps because the vision I had just seen was an illusion, I somehow wanted to reassure her.

“Still like that kid you knew?”

“….”

“Anyway, you don’t know So Yerin.”

How little interest do you have in everything going on in the world?

Yerin must be well-known.

There is no choice but to dismiss it as an act of immortality that has cut ties with the secular world.

“But what should I do with this? You have to take responsibility.”

“…huh?”

“How can I raise So Ye-rin?”

For a moment, Jin Seo-yoon was dumbfounded.

His face looks like he’s saying, “What kind of bullshit is this?”

“Our Yerin is having a hard time because of you. What on earth did you do at the academy?”

“Oh, no. I have nothing.”

“Look at this. As expected, the perpetrator doesn’t remember.”

Why did So Ye-rin, who was supposed to pursue a normal hero career at the Academy, end up taking the talent discovery test?

In the end, our Yerin is a victim of Jin Seo-yoon’s play of sheep.

He would have trampled on other dream trees without even thinking about it, to the point where he would flinch at the mere mention of his name.

“You were as bad as anyone I knew. admit? This is something where you really have to take responsibility.”

“I’m saying this because it’s unfair, but I really don’t know the name…! What on earth are you talking about?”

“You said it. I caused Epic’s downfall. But that’s not it.”

Jin Seo-yoon listened to me and thought deeply.

And soon, he reacts as if he has figured something out.

“If I wanted to do it, I should have been able to do it. Not exactly me, but whatever. There is another culprit.”

“No way…”

“Yes. So Ye-rin, the girl you bullied. Our Yerin is the real culprit.”

To Jin Seo-yoon, who was still unable to speak, I opened my mouth next.

“Now, by chance, I have become friends with Yerin. And its potential is so high that it has a direct stake in Epic’s downfall. So, how can you sharpen your hair?”

“What and how do I…”

“You’re good at that. Gather your colleagues. I was already trying to give it to you. Our sky too.”

Jin Seo-yoon flinches at the name that comes out of my mouth.

I guess I had a bad memory.

“Listen carefully. From now on, you will do everything you can to bring back the members from the first round. Wasn’t that what you originally wanted to do?”

“…”

“Even if it’s not me in the first round, there are a lot of bastards who are trying to turn the world around. You probably know. So, let’s try our best without failing this time.”

I know.

What kind of tragedy happens in this world?

And Jin Seo-yoon also knew.

If she felt the same way as me, she would understand what I was talking about.

“I’ll let you do whatever you want.”

I was still a fan of Jin Seo-yoon.
