Chapter Index

    Puck, puck.

    I broke the Taegeuk masks on the students’ heads and opened the tightly closed door to the academy’s main auditorium.

    Sigh.

    A large auditorium resembling an opera house.

    Above the red carpet leading from the entrance to the center podium.

    In a place that is hard to see in the dark, there is something black.

    [It’s dark so I can’t see. Are you a child of darkness?]

    “Pad lip from the beginning. With the goblin’s personality.”

    [A voice is heard in the dark.]

    “You arrogant guy.”

    Pot, pat, pat.

    Lights exploded inside the auditorium.

    The spotlight shining brightly on the podium was illuminating a single being from three directions.

    [Are you from Amgil-dong?]

    A look similar to the grim reaper.

    However, unlike the grim reaper’s unique pale skin, his skin was darker than the hat or black robe on his head, and his clothes actually looked brighter.

    Did they say that black also has color?

    Scientifically, it is said that the degree of ‘darkness’ of black varies depending on how much light it can absorb, and Amgil-dong was even blacker than the black paint created by existing humans.

    [Try to laugh. See if you can really see only white dry teeth.]

    “There’s nothing I can’t say. Are you a ‘hater’ too?”

    [no. I am neither a racist nor a black hater. I just.]

    Aim the goblin bat forward.

    [I’m just a being who hates villains like you.]

    “…….”

    [Amgil-dong. The head of the Hwalbindang. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but the darkness that has fallen on this country is now over.]

    “The end? no. You can’t do that.”

    Even though the black being was already wearing black robes, it was so black that nothing could be seen, but Amgil-dong raised his head and spread his arms in the spotlight.

    “You don’t know the world I want to achieve right now. Are you-”

    [Aren’t you planning to make the Korean Peninsula into one world? Bullying people all over the world.]

    “…….”

    Amgil-dong stops talking.

    I continued to aim the bat at Amgil-dong and slowly walked forward.

    [Only the Korean Peninsula is removed from the Earth. Then only the Korean Peninsula will remain in the world. A world where everything exists for Koreans.]

    When people think of the world, they tend to think of the entire Earth.

    If humans go into space and terraform somewhere, the human world will expand into space, but at least the current human world is limited to Earth.

    [You separated the Korean Peninsula from the world and created a small world called the Korean Peninsula on Earth. Yes, the world called ‘Yuldo Country’.]

    “Would you mind calling me Yuldomonium?”

    [In Korea, they told me to write in Korean, so I guess the name is Yuldomonium.]

    “Well, this is a place where even the devil is accepted.”

    […….]

    Amgil-dong seems to be going crazy.

    [I thought it was a sunshade organization, but it turns out they were devil worshipers. Who’s behind you? What kind of devil is there?]

    “I am the devil.”

    [……?]

    “I am the devil.”

    Am Gil-dong pointed to his neck.

    “Amgil-dong is dead. He handed over his body to me and chose to die himself. They say there is no hope for this country anymore.”

    [……Is it the devil?]

    “Okay. It’s not just the devil, it’s the devil you guys are chasing.”

    [What kind of devil is this?]

    “I don’t think there’s any need to say it. Being a devil or something is not important to me. What is important to me is that I am the leader of this Yuldomonium.”

    [Then roughly, ‘the devil of treason.’]

    In Amgil-dong, the devil of treason stirs.

    I don’t know if it was because of the clothes or the spotlight, but I could clearly see his body flinching as soon as I referred to him as ‘the devil of treason.’

    [I only do things that are extremely unpleasant. Isn’t it alienating Korea from the rest of the world, causing terrorism all over the country, awakening non-skilled people into super-talented people, and isn’t it brainwashing foreign students into zombies by putting on Taegeuk masks?]

    It was a far too radical and large-scale evil act to be called the Living Bin Party as we previously understood it.

    [They are even trying to take over and dominate Sejong Island.]

    Even if he had kept his power hidden just for this occasion, it was an excessive move that went beyond the level of common sense.

    It felt like the moment the game, which was already in hard mode, entered a stable phase with a large number of allies being secured and leveling, the difficulty was suddenly forced to change to Lunatic.

    [You have touched the laws of the world. No, you are trying to become the law of the world yourself. He seems like a vicious guy.]

    It is now related to the status of this existence called Amgil-dong in this black world called Yuldomonium.

    [You are trying to become the god of this world, and you are already showing your power. As soon as the world is dyed in darkness.]

    “…As expected, he is a monster that has defeated many demons.”

    Amgil-dong obediently acknowledged my guess.

    “Okay. I am rewriting the rules of this world.”

    [At best, it is a narrow, broken world where the Korean Peninsula is the whole world.]

    “Have you insulted the Korean Peninsula now?”

    The darkness deepens.

    One spotlight goes out, and the area that does not receive light is covered in darkness, making it impossible to see the shape.

    “This blasphemous man!”

    [I am not insulting the Korean Peninsula, but rather insulting your small scale that has been buried in the Korean Peninsula.]

    At that moment, the darkened image of Amgil-dong was glimpsed into view.

    [indeed. Faith is the foundation of your strength. Based on the meager faith and beliefs gathered from the members of the Hwalbindang, the intention is to devour Sejong Island and then use that power to become a true god.]

    Absolute existence.

    A being who can even change the laws of the world.

    If we do not call such a person ‘God,’ then who should we call God?

    [Make the Korean Peninsula the world, make all mankind Korean, and eliminate everything other than Korea.]

    If you eliminate everything else, eventually ‘outside things’ become a concept that no longer exists in this world.

    [How are you trying to return to the Joseon Dynasty? Is your goal to go backwards through civilization and create the dream world that Hwalbindang’s Amgil-dong desires?]

    “No. I just want to make the dream of the owner of this body come true.”

    [what?]

    “I am the devil. But at the same time, it is also the ‘successor’ of this human.”

    The Demon of Rebellion placed a hand on his chest.

    “I was abandoned from the moment I was born. He could not call his father “father” and was despised by his younger brothers, calling him “the child of a slave.””

    It may not be his story, but the story of the human Amgil-dong, but the desolation in his voice seemed to be telling the story of his past from a third party’s perspective.

    “He was born with the blessing of magic power, but had to be pushed out because his skin was black. Even though my nationality was Korean, they called me ‘black’ and African.”

    Even in the process of referring to the past, I referred to myself as ‘I’.

    “I am definitely the devil. A demon from outer space. But it is also Amgil-dong. Whether he ate the rebel demon and evolved into a demon, or whether the demon fused with Amgildong and became one, none of it matters. The important thing is-”

    [That you inherited the will of those two.]

    In front of the podium.

    [He wants to narrow the world to the Korean peninsula and become the god of the world, which he calls Yuldomonium.]

    I walked up to the height where I could make eye contact with Amgil-dong and aimed the bat between his eyes.

    [Do you think it is possible for you to become ‘Hwan’s Will’?]

    “…….”

    [Do you think you can take the place of the ‘gukbong-omnimism’ that took root in this world along with a meteorite?]

    “Ah. Right. It’s a pretty decent noun. ‘The Will of Hwan’.”

    Amgil-dong spread his arms again and took a step back.

    “They say that when a tiger dies, it leaves behind its skin, and when a person dies, it leaves behind a name. Goblin, you will leave that noun behind. The goblin who opposed God died leaving behind the words ‘Will of Hwan’ regarding the laws of this world, and it will be recorded as such in history books in the distant future.”

    [idiot. It is a biography of God, but it is not a history book but a creation myth.]

    “If God is a real world, then it is both a myth and history.”

    [crazy. Do you plan to exist as a law and even exist? I’m too greedy.]

    “If it doesn’t exist, there will be people who will try to distort my meaning.”

    Pa-ah.

    A spotlight shines on the back of Amgil-dong.

    “My will is God’s will. I will become a god and give new laws to this world. And I will rule and see with my own eyes on the Korean Peninsula whether the law is being properly implemented as I want.”

    [The intention is to play drums and janggu all by yourself.]

    “I can trust the members of the Hwalbin Party, but in the end, they will not understand my beliefs.”

    [Is that holy belief about creating a world without discrimination?]

    “Yes.”

    Behind Amgil-dong, several words began to emerge from the darkness.

    “Gender. age. religion. region. race. This ability. All that discrimination will no longer occur in this world.”

    [no. You are wrong.]

    Hwan’s will, the truth of this world.

    [I understand that you want to become a god out of thin air, but if you want to take the place of a god, you must first know the laws of that god.]

    And the world.

    [Discrimination is the foundation of Hwan’s will.]

    Because everything is never equal.

    [Gukppong is a Gukbbong because it exists in foreign countries.]

    How can Gukbbong exist in a world without Japan or China?
