Chapter Index

    When a person with special abilities breaks down mentally, he or she becomes a devil.

    If you cannot satisfy your desire to gain something strongly, if you are broken to the point of throwing away everything you have built, you become a devil.

    The desire that has the strongest influence here is ‘love’.

    “You know what? The second most common case of a person with special abilities becoming a devil is because of love.”

    Harang drew a heart on my chest with his finger and secretly made a fortune.

    “Everyone loves. Whether it is love for family or love for country. But no matter what, isn’t the greatest love ‘love for the opposite sex’?”

    “Like you feel love for me?”

    “It’s a little annoying to say that out loud, but it’s not wrong, so I can’t say anything about it. Hey, you.”

    Harang lightly grabbed my collar and brought his face closer to me.

    “You love me, right?”

    “Of course. How do we prove it? Should I pick a star from the sky?”

    “Nothing like that, I want more direct proof.”

    Harang’s hand slowly came up to me and onto my chest.

    “Would you like to say I love you once?”

    “I love you. Wait a minute.”

    “Why?”

    “I’m not sure if I should call him Seolhee or Harang.”

    “Foot.”

    Harang buried his face in my shoulder with slightly opened eyes.

    ” Saying that you love Harang means loving Baek Seol-hee, so you don’t have to worry about that at all. Hehe, I feel a bit sorry for the main body.”

    “What?”

    “Right now, I’m probably thinking to myself, ‘What would my alter ego be doing with a goblin?’, and imagining a date with you right now. By now, you wouldn’t have imagined the two of us coming into a hotel like this and lying in the same bed, right?”

    “You can imagine.”

    I straightened Harang’s hair with my hands.

    Harang calmly placed his head in my touch, and I pointed my eyes at the ceiling.

    ” Baek Seol-hee has nothing but patriotism in her head. Isn’t that right?”

    “I admit that. But it was you, not anyone else, who made Baek Seol-hee like that?”

    “I don’t think this is something a woman who suddenly came to an open-air bath in a swimsuit would say.”

    “Do you believe that? It was love at first sight.”

    “I don’t believe it.”

    Because I did that.

    As soon as I saw the gunman, I fell in love.

    That feeling was a clear love that could not be denied by any logic.

    “I think like that sometimes. Why on earth did this girl fall for me?”

    “Because the face is a strike to your taste? Or…is it because you are guided by your unconscious mind?”

    “In what way?”

    “You’ve already discovered the true face of a man called Goblin who has been bothering you before?”

    “…What nonsense.”

    I made eye contact with Harang.

    ” Baek Seol-hee approached me because she knew I was a goblin? It’s a ridiculous story.”

    “I told you. It’s called unconsciousness. I was being led without even realizing it.”

    “…….”

    “In other words, it could be said to be fate. Isn’t that right?”

    “It’s fate. I’m not a fatalist.”

    “Baek Seol-hee may think that meeting you was fate. Whether it’s Do Ji-hwan or Goblin. Whether you look at the two separately or combine them as one, there is no change in the fact that I met you and developed a deep relationship.”

    Harang pressed his thumb against my chest.

    “If you hadn’t accepted Baek Seol-hee’s heart, maybe she would have become a devil by now?”

    “What kind of dangerous remarks.”

    “Why? There’s no way you wouldn’t know how scared a woman in love becomes, right?”

    “That’s why I’m saying that. I approached Baek Seol-hee first in the first place.”

    Even if I think it was fate that Baek Seol-hee met me, it was my intention to create a connection with Baek Seol-hee and make her fall in love with me.

    “To be honest, it was I who made him fall for me. But I have to make one thing clear: out of all those women, you were the one I approached first and tried to do something about.”

    “You didn’t approach me because I was in second place in the S class?”

    “The beautiful woman I like is ranked 2nd in the S class, and it’s because they even have similar hobbies.”

    “Hmm.”

    Harang continued to look at me with his eyes half-squinted.

    “This is good.”

    “What?”

    “The body doesn’t know your true feelings. Your heart.”

    “They say it will go back to the main body anyway.”

    “This moment of talking like this is entirely my experience, so for some reason, I feel good now that I don’t know the real story. Hehehe. The goblin, who didn’t care about other women, approached me first… If he wanted to, he could make me an S-class person like Lee Seon, but he didn’t bother to approach a woman named Baek Seol-hee. Well, that’s enough.”

    Harang clung to me a little more.

    “If you tell the main body directly later, the main body will like it more. Please tell me. Among the many women you could choose from, the first one you chose was a woman named Baek Seol-hee.”

    “Isn’t this too male-centered?”

    “It would be ridiculous if a woman was above a man, but you are a goblin, right? It’s a douche.”

    “Snow White under the goblin?”

    “Okay then. What’s better about Baek Seol-hee? Compared to goblins… no, there are no particular advantages compared to other women other than goblins.”

    Harang stretched out one hand in front of me.

    “He is older than Yoon Yi-seon, and compared to Ymir, he has less pool of abilities to use. Since he is an S-class hero, he is nominally an enemy with goblins and cannot meet them often. Ah, there is one advantage. The oldest one.”

    “Isn’t that a bit much to call an advantage…?”

    “Okay. But why did you choose Baek Seol-hee? A woman full of such shortcomings. Is it because of the breasts? It’s not? Ymir’s breasts are a little bigger.”

    “Because of this?”

    I picked up the remote control and turned on the TV right across from us.

    “There is no need for men and women to interact solely through their bodies or abilities. If you’re getting married, wouldn’t it be best for the couple to share the same hobbies?”

    “…Hmm. Because of a hobby?”

    “To be precise, I like watching things like this together and talking with me.”

    Neither Goblin nor Do Ji-hwan, but who is the person who best matches ‘me as a reader’ before being possessed by this world?

    One is the head and the other is Baek Seol-hee.

    “Harang. Do you want to be patriotic or watch a movie?”

    “Um…. Is it my choice?”

    “Of course. I will do whatever you want. Because this night is for you.”

    “Then, I’ll do this.”

    Harang put his head next to me and smiled.

    “You.”

    “…….”

    “Just spending time with you is enough for me.”

    “Then, let’s look at this together.”

    I changed the TV channels and played a movie.

    “It’s a movie about time, so it should be quite fun.”

    “…This movie came out before I was even born.”

    “Have you seen it?”

    “No, I didn’t see this.”

    her.

    I can’t believe I can’t see this masterpiece.

    “Today, let’s run until dawn.”

    Because there is no other movie as good as the series that ended before the cataclysm.

    “A movie about alter egos, love, and time. It’ll be fun, really.”

    So, I started to indulge in Harang and movies.

    * * *

    -Are S-class villains more of a problem to society or S-class demons more of a problem to society?

    Crackling, crackling.

    Baek Seol-hee sat alone on the bed, lost in thought while watching a documentary about goblins.

    “Villains and devils.”

    Both are equally unhelpful to society and to global peace.

    However, the two are completely different beings, and Baek Seol-hee has always thought that the more threatening to society is the ‘devil.’

    -Why would a devil be born? When people with bad intentions do bad things, those who suffer the damage become devils. That’s right. It is the villain who creates the devil. We must overthrow the villain first.

    -But there are people called Pandemonium, so should we still fight those who can communicate? Shouldn’t you at least lend a cat’s help? We must first get rid of the demons that disturb the world.

    There is a back and forth between arguments, and the panelists are fiercely asserting that their opinions are correct.

    It’s true that both are bad.

    It is not a matter of whether the chicken or the egg came first.

    -You saw what happened in Thailand, right? Have you forgotten the disaster committed by Duoksini? already?

    Still, if you ask which side public opinion is on, the public opinion that the devil must be defeated first is more dominant.

    -We must deal with the devil first. In order to deal with demons before villains, you need to create a unit that specializes in dealing with demons. Something like an exorcist unit.

    -Who is it? Do you have the manpower to do that? Is there anyone in our country who deserves that now?

    -that….

    Ultimately, a chronic problem emerges.

    -Among those with special abilities in Korea, are there really many people who can work for this country, or are there many people who have special abilities but actually use them for self-interest?

    -So what do you want to say?

    -It is important to increase the number of talented people. The number of people with special abilities is increasing, and it is important to increase the number of ‘heroes’ rather than just people with special abilities. The same goes for people with special abilities raised at the Academy, but after all, people with special abilities…

    Chronic manpower shortage.

    It is absurd to say that there is a lack of heroes in Korea, but that is the reality.

    -Does Korea have more heroes or villains? We need more heroes.

    “Yes, that’s right. That’s right…”

    Baek Seol-hee tilted her head to the panelists’ words and touched her abdomen.

    “…I didn’t force it like that, ah.”

    Then, startled, he lay down on the bed.

    “If you give birth to a child, the world will think of this child as a hero from the moment of birth.”

    A problem I thought about before, but came up again.

    A hero’s child must be a hero.

    If there was a way to solve that problem –

    “……As expected, there should be more people with special abilities other than my children.”

    To create an environment where Baek Seol-hee’s child does not have to be forced to become a hero.

    “Good. This summer semester….”

    Smirk.

    “Somehow, I have to make it all S-class so that it can pass through the reader.”

    never.

    There is no selfishness.
