Serial Murders in Stozanya City

“You weren’t a subordinate back then, but how about becoming my subordinate now? If you become a subordinate, you can communicate even when you’re apart.”

Hyde grinned.

“Sure, I’ll do it.”

Since I had no offerings, I wrapped Hyde in tentacles and consumed precious divinity to make him a subordinate.

Hyde became my subordinate and said with a refreshed face.

“Kyaa~ This is the feeling. Good.”

“But what about your brother, Jekyll? He’s not my subordinate yet.”

Hyde pondered for a moment and asked me.

“I still think of my brother as family and love him. I don’t want you to destroy him.”

“Then I’ll have to touch your brain and make your brother follow me.”

“I understand.”

I covered Hyde’s face with tentacles and invaded his brain through his nose and ears.

In Hyde’s brain, there were two separate parts: Hyde’s personality and Jekyll’s personality.

I made Jekyll believe that following me, the God of Darkness, was moral.

I advised Hyde.

“Try to refrain from eating Stesaenon and famous people. According to the information I’ve heard, the head of the Inquisitorial Squad has come to this city. They’re really good at finding the aura of darkness. You could really get caught and die.”

“It’s a shame, but I can’t help it. I’ll try to survive by eating homeless people. I’ll have to reduce the Chimera insects I’ve released outside too.”

Hyde was able to create insects such as flies and mosquitoes with Chimera and control them to gather information.

Chimera insects are similar to insects, making them difficult to notice, but if you catch them and magnify them, you can tell they are Chimera.

I decided to give Hyde a mission.

“Do you have a Chimera solution that turns humans into murderers while maintaining their human form?”

“With the materials I have, I can only make enough for 10 people. It’s not easy to make this. It’s also difficult to get the materials.”

“10 people is enough. Infect 10 humans I designate with the Chimera solution.”

“I’ll feed the Chimera solution to my mosquito Chimera and infect the humans. After all, the amount that a mosquito eats is enough for one person. If you inject more than that, the appearance will change immediately. If you get infected with this solution, you’ll become stronger, but you’ll want to kill humans. If you kill humans, you’ll eventually become a monster.”

“Is it difficult to maintain human form?”

“Yes. Isn’t that what Chimera solutions are originally like? Chimera solution is a Dark race undiluted solution, so if a human gets it, they will have a desire to kill. If you kill humans, your soul will be completely corrupted, causing a synergistic effect with the Chimera solution and turning you into a monster.”

“I understand. And there’s Norbert, my subordinate, in this city, so contact each other through the tentacle communication network.”

Hyde listened to my entire plan, greeted me, and left.

“Kyle-nim. Fighting!”

Hyde turned into a fly and flew out the window.

Aeeeeeeeng.

Nisa gave her thoughts.

“He’s a really affable friend.”

“He’s been cheerful and affable since a thousand years ago. It feels good to meet an old subordinate after a long time.”

I hugged Nisa and fell back asleep.

There was no need to wait at Margrave’s house anymore.

The next day, I suggested to the Hero party that even though they had waited for 3 weeks, they had not caught Crowe, so they should leave the Stesaenon member’s house and stay in the Dark Human Association building.

Since the Hero took the side of the labor union and became enemies with Marquis Miriam, they could not stay at Marquis Miriam’s mansion.

When I, Nisa, Serena, and Norbert strongly insisted, the Hero party eventually unanimously decided to stay in the Dark Human Association building.

—

Victor, the son of the Stesaenon chairman and a second-generation chaebol heir to Dragon Electronics, had become a wreck, suffering from lovesickness for Serena all day in his room after the Hero’s welcome party.

His father, Count Lucian, clutched his head at the sight of his son.

At the party, the incident where his son hit on the Hero’s lover was clearly his son’s fault.

Moreover, the Hero’s power and the Serena family’s authority were so high that it was difficult to bring Serena even with the power of Dragon Electronics.

Count Lucian sent several high-end prostitutes to Victor’s room to somehow change Victor’s mind, but Victor, who was deeply in love with Serena, didn’t even look at the prostitutes.

Immediately, executives and investors of Dragon Electronics were expressing doubts about maintaining Victor as the company’s heir, which made Count Lucian’s head ache.

This was the first time in Victor’s life that he had wanted something so desperately and couldn’t have it.

Until now, Victor could get whatever he wanted, whether it was an object or a woman, with his money and power, and he could hire gangsters to beat or eliminate anyone he didn’t like.

But the Hero was on a different level.

To get Serena, he had to eliminate the Hero, but no matter how much Victor thought about it, there was no way.

Victor’s family did not obtain their noble title through force, but through wealth, so the family did not have the power to eliminate the Hero.

Victor was from Hamel High School, but his major was magical engineering, so his direct force was not strong, and the gangsters he had could not be the Hero’s opponent.

If Victor wanted to eliminate the Hero, he would have to bring in a knight order-level force, but that was impossible even for Victor.

Victor huddled on the bed in his luxurious room, muttering continuously.

“That Hero bastard…. I’m going to kill him…. Serena is mine…. That Hero guy…. I’m going to kill him…. I want to see Serena….”

At that time, a mosquito approached Victor with an aeeeeeeeng sound, but Victor didn’t notice.

The mosquito soon pricked Victor’s ankle with its needle, spat out a red solution inside, and flew away.

Victor felt a sting for a moment, looked at his ankle, and realized he had been bitten by a mosquito.

“Ouch! I got bitten by a mosquito. Oh well. I want to see Serena….”

Victor muttered aimlessly that day and fell asleep.

The next day, Victor woke up with a refreshed face.

Victor felt that his body had changed.

Victor’s five senses were maximized, he could feel the subtle flow of air, his dynamic visual acuity had greatly improved, and fine muscles had grown densely in his body.

Victor felt like he could make movements that transcended ordinary humans.

“Huh? Why am I like this?”

Victor got off the bed and bounced his foot, and his body shot forward quickly.

Tang shuaaang

Just as he was about to hit the wall, Victor stretched out his right hand, and his body stopped as his fingers pierced the wall with a kwajik sound.

“Crazy…. Have I become a hero?”

Victor had liked hero novels since he was a child, and he admired the hero who gained superhuman strength after being bitten by a sacred spider the most.

“That’s right. I must have gained this power after being bitten by a mosquito yesterday. I’m qualified enough, so the heavens gave me a chance. It’s my mission to rescue Serena-yang from the evil Hero.”

Victor, who had already fallen for Serena to the point of losing his soul, was incapable of normal thought.

Victor opened the door and went out with a confident face, different from before, muttering.

“But why do I want to kill people so much?”

When Victor came out of the room, the family members welcomed Victor.

Since Victor was still in the early stages of corruption, he had enough reason not to kill his family members.

His father, Count Lucian, ate breakfast with Victor and advised him.

“Victor. It’s good that you came out. You have to forget about that woman and concentrate on the work of Dragon Electronics. And there are many good women in the world.”

Victor nodded appropriately and ate his meal.

Today was the day of the chaebol heirs’ meeting, so Victor dressed appropriately and went out of the house.

The chaebol heirs’ meeting was a place where chaebol families’ children in their 20s gathered to socialize appropriately.

The meeting was held in the most luxurious hall of a room salon in downtown Stozanya City, and a total of 17 chaebol heirs, both male and female, attended, and high-end prostitutes and male prostitutes served around them.

The chaebol heirs sat on the sofa, drank alcohol, and talked about how the workers these days were undisciplined and rebellious.

Victor brought up another topic.

“Hey. It’s hard to believe, but I was bitten by a mosquito yesterday, and I became incredibly strong this morning.”

Victor grabbed a gold cup with his right hand and crushed it.

Kwajijijijik.

The prostitute who was massaging Victor’s shoulders exclaimed.

“Oh my! Victor-nim has become incredibly strong\?! Awesome~!”

At that time, Florike, the granddaughter of the chairman of Vogue Pharmaceuticals, said.

“I also got stronger this morning. I also have a mosquito bite on my neck?”

Florike had her foot on the back of a male prostitute who was kneeling and prostrating himself.

When Florike put strength in her leg and pressed down, the male prostitute couldn’t stand it and was pressed to the floor, suffering.

“Uaaaaaa! Keueueueue! Florike-nim! It hurts!”

Florike laughed at the male prostitute.

“Puhuhu! Can’t a man even stand that?”

When Florike kicked the man’s side, the man rolled away with a thud, and it seemed like his ribs were broken.

Florike didn’t care about the injured male prostitute and said.

“See? I’ve gotten stronger too.”

Then 7 other chaebol heirs each said that they had gotten stronger.

“Me too! I grabbed a stone with my hand today, and it crumbled.”

“Ooh~ I felt the flow of air from this morning, so I wasn’t the only one~”

The 9 chaebol heirs who had become stronger all had mosquito bites in common.

One person regretted with a disappointed face.

“A mosquito flew over yesterday, and I killed it with my palm, what a shame.”

The nobles from entrepreneurial backgrounds had obtained their noble titles through wealth, so they had a complex about being weaker in force than the nobles from martial backgrounds.

This power might be an opportunity given by the heavens to the entrepreneurial noble families.

Victor said.

“We are chosen heroes. We have to use this power in useful places.”

Chaebol heir Josem (male), who had become a hero, asked.

“Specifically, where do we use it?”

“Right now, the workers don’t know their place and are rebelling against the company. If this continues, the production volume of Stozanya City will fall, and we might lose competitiveness to the companies in Talka City. We can’t let the company that our ancestors worked so hard to build collapse here.”

The chaebol heirs really didn’t think of the workers as the same humans, so they agreed with Victor’s words.

Josem agreed.

“Victor is right. If those workers taste resistance once, they’ll keep rising up in the future. We have to completely suppress them this time so that we can live comfortably when we inherit the company later.”

“But there’s one problem.”

“What is it?”

“That Hero guy is taking the side of the workers. How much has the Empire government and the nobles done for the Hero, but he’s taking the side of the commoner workers. He’s a rotten guy.”

Florike pointed to the prostitutes and male prostitutes and suggested to her friends.

“Then we can get used to our power, right? How about practicing with the people around here?”

Victor nodded.

“Good idea?”

The prostitutes and male prostitutes around them noticed that the atmosphere was flowing strangely, so they watched and tried to slip back.

Victor got up and grabbed the face of the prostitute who had been massaging his shoulders from behind and crushed it.

Kwajik!

The prostitute’s face was smashed in, her brain was exposed, and she fell backward.

The 9 heroes stood up at once and cheered and attacked the prostitutes and male prostitutes.

Thud thud kwajijik

“Yahoo! This is fun!”

“Uahahaha! You rotten commoners! We’re chaebols! Worship us!”

The prostitutes and male prostitutes screamed in terror and ran to the door.

“Kyaaaaa! Save me!”

“Uaaa! Everyone’s crazy!”

Florike disappeared, leaving afterimages, and appeared in front of the door with a shashak sound.

“Guys? Where are you going?”

“Please let us out! We’ll keep it a secret!”

“Keep it a secret? Even if we kill you all, no one can touch us.”

As Florike approached, a large male prostitute threw a right punch.

“It’s do or die!”

Florike raised her left hand, grabbed the fist, and squeezed her hand to crush the bones.

Pudeudeudeu kwajijik

“Keuaaaaaaaa! Wa, wait a minute!”

The male prostitute screamed in pain and knelt down.

When Florike kicked him, the male prostitute’s head exploded, and brain fluid was scattered everywhere.

The remaining prostitutes and male prostitutes were all trembling or running away, and one by one, they were killed by the heroes.

When all the prostitutes and male prostitutes were dead, Florike asked the 8 human chaebol heirs who were sitting with pale faces.

“Aren’t you going to kill?”

Originally, there were cases where chaebol heirs accidentally killed prostitutes or male prostitutes at gatherings, but even the human chaebol heirs thought something was strange.

One human chaebol heir gathered his trembling body and forced a smile.

“Hahaha. I’m not feeling well today.”

Another human chaebol heir also said, hitting his teeth.

“(Taktaktak) That’s right! I had an important family gathering at home today! I have to go home quickly!”

Florike said with a pitiful face.

“It’s a shame. It would be nice if you guys enjoyed it together too.”

The human chaebol heirs all stood up with trembling legs, greeted them, and left the room.

“(Deoldeoldeol) Then have a good time~! I have a lot of company work, so I’ll go quickly!”

“(Taktaktak) Hahaha! It was a good time today! I have to go home quickly and brag to my dad!”

The human chaebol heirs forcibly pretended to be okay and hurriedly escaped from this hell.

Just in time, the room salon manager led his gangster juniors and ran over, shouting.

“No! Presidents! What’s going on!”

The room salon manager had been working as a gangster for a long time, so he had a good sense of what was going on, and he could tell at a glance that the chaebol heirs’ eyes were flashing with murderous intent and their momentum was no joke, so it seemed dangerous.

‘If I mess up, I’m going to die?’
