(Side Story) Warrior Defense (End)

Rana took Mikhail outside the house.

The villagers saw Rana and greeted her.

“Hi, Rana! Is that the Hero-nim over there?”

Rana showed Mikhail around the village.

Mikhail widened his eyes and looked around diligently.

“So this is what the surface looks like! Wow! Amazing!”

Rana chuckled.

“You’re so cute, Hero-nim.”

“Huh?!”

“Hehe. Never mind.”

Mikhail arrived at the stone wall that enclosed the village.

Mikhail asked.

“What is this stone wall?”

Rana replied.

“This is a sacred wall that protects us. Outside this, monsters swarm and there is a wasteland where humans cannot live.”

“I see.”

Mikhail drooped.

‘I came to save humanity, but this is the last of humanity…’

Rana was puzzled.

“Why are you feeling down?”

“Ah! It’s nothing!”

‘I must protect even the last of humanity.’

Mikhail and Rana were on their way back to Village Chief Santos’s house.

The siren sounded from the top of the pyramid.

Bbi-i-i-i-ing Bbi-i-i-i-ing

People screamed in panic.

“Monster wave!”

“Everyone, grab your weapons!”

Rana said to Mikhail with a pale face.

“In 20 minutes, one side of the stone wall will collapse and monsters will come in!”

Mikhail shouted.

“I need my equipment!”

Rana and Mikhail returned to the house.

Rana brought Mikhail’s light armor and sword.

“This is the best armor and sword of the Atilla Kingdom, the equipment that came with you.”

It was the first time Mikhail had seen it, but he put it on without complaint.

This is the broadcasting room in the basement of Heaven Village.

The director shouted.

“The Hero has awakened, so send in the wildlife!”

The staff asked.

“Shall we send 200 Goblins?”

“Yeah. Let’s go easy since it’s the first time.”

The monster wave lineup to send to Heaven Village included wildlife, Chimera, and captured Outer beings.

The first wave was decided to send weak Goblins.

The Kyle Holy Kingdom did not recognize all dark races as people.

To be recognized as a person, they had to be able to communicate, have intelligence, and be able to control their wild nature.

Goblins were not recognized as people and were classified as wildlife.

It was the same as humans not considering human-like apes as the same humans.

---

Dozens of adults waited with weapons, and one side of the stone wall collapsed.

Gugu gugu gugu

The outside of the village was covered in dark energy.

The sound of monsters howling came from outside.

“Kieeee!”

“Kuaaaa!”

The adults swallowed hard.

Goblins with daggers poured out of the dark energy in countless numbers.

“Kieeeeee!”

The adults screamed and rushed forward.

“Uwaaa! Fight!”

The villagers were ordinary people who had not properly learned martial arts, so even Goblins were dangerous opponents.

One man thrust his spear and stabbed a Goblin.

“Die!”

But the spear went deep into the Goblin’s body and did not come out.

In that gap, another Goblin jumped with a dagger and rushed towards the man’s chest.

It was the moment when the man dropped his spear and reached out his hand, about to scream.

Jiiing

Mikhail’s aura sword split the Goblin.

Mikhail shouted.

“I won’t let anyone die!”

Mikhail rushed into the Goblin horde.

“Uwaaaa!”

A long, blue aura surged from Mikhail’s sword.

Mikhail stretched out his sword and cast Whirlwind, spinning his body like a top.

Wiiiiing

The Goblins around Mikhail were torn apart as if they had been ground in a blender.

Mikhail jumped and floated in the air.

Mikhail spun like a top and shot blue aura in all directions.

Jiiing Jiiing Jiiing

The surrounding Goblins were cut like tofu, and blood and guts splattered everywhere.

Mikhail saw a Goblin stuck to a woman’s head, trying to stab her with a dagger.

Mikhail kicked the air.

Paaang

Mikhail’s body flew like a missile, passing by the woman’s head and landing on the ground.

Jiiiiing Tadak

A red line was drawn on the Goblin’s upper body before it was cut in half.

Mikhail kicked the floor again.

Pat

Mikhail disappeared, leaving afterimages, and appeared where three Goblins surrounded a man holding a hoe.

Mikhail swung his sword three times at a speed invisible to the eye, and the three Goblins split and fell.

Shashashak

40 more Goblins with daggers came in and screamed.

“Kieeeeee”

Mikhail ran towards the Goblins and swung his sword horizontally at knee level, and a crescent-shaped aura flew away.

Jiiiiing

As the aura passed through the 40 Goblins, the upper bodies of the 40 flew away and a fountain of blood spurted out.

Pshushushushut

The stone wall that had collapsed earlier rose again.

Gugu gugu gugu

Mikhail massacred the remaining Goblins.

All the Goblins were dead.

People looked at each other and cheered.

“Uwaaaaa! No one died!”

“We won!”

Until now, there had always been casualties when monsters came.

The problem was that the number of people was decreasing, but this time they had blocked the monster wave without any sacrifices.

Mikhail looked at the people with a satisfied expression.

“I did it. I protected the last of humanity.”

People smiled and ran to Mikhail to thank and praise him.

“Thank you for saving me earlier!”

“You’re amazing!”

Rana also smiled brightly and hugged Mikhail.

“Mikhail-nim! I believed in you!”

The villagers threw the Goblin corpses into a bottomless pit on one side of the village.

Mikhail asked.

“What is this?”

Rana replied.

“It’s a pit that has been here since this village was created. No one knows where it goes, but it’s used to dump corpses and trash.”

Mikhail nodded.

Mikhail became the hero of the village.

Village Chief Santos laughed heartily, gathered the people, and declared.

“Today is a glorious day when no one died in the monster wave! It’s all thanks to the Hero Mikhail! We will have a party today!”

People cheered.

“Long live Mikhail!!!”

Suddenly, a bright light came from the pyramid and a voice was heard.

“I support your party! I will send you party food!”

The villagers were moved.

“Oooooh! The pyramid-nim supports us!”

The center of the pyramid opened.

When people entered the pyramid, there were boxes containing food.

Mikhail picked up one box and read the paper.

“Delicious Bulgogi Pizza from Minji Brand! We only use real cheese!”

Rana picked up another box and read the paper.

“Sweet and Sour Pork made from Giant Mole of Zahara Kingdom! The juice is still alive!”

Jefra picked up a bottle of drink and read the paper.

“Ooh! Sweet Aphid Cider from Zahara Kingdom! Once you drink it, you’ll be addicted!”

People had a party in the streets of the village, eating the food sent by God.

People chattered and praised Mikhail.

It was the first time Mikhail had eaten all the food, so he widened his eyes and ate it greedily.

Munch munch gulp

“So delicious!”

Rana sat on Mikhail’s right and offered him a drink with a straw.

“Hero-nim. Try this too.”

Mikhail pouted his lips, and Rana put the straw in Mikhail’s mouth.

Mikhail sucked on it like a baby bird.

At that time, someone massaged Mikhail’s shoulder.

Massage massage.

Mikhail turned around and saw a Goblin stuck to her head, but it was the woman he had saved.

The woman introduced herself to Mikhail.

“My name is ‘Mia’ and I’m 19 years old. Thank you for earlier.”

Another woman sat on Mikhail’s left.

“Hi~ My name is Mariam. I’m 18 years old~ Try this cookie.”

Mikhail pouted his lips, and Mariam put a cookie in Mikhail’s mouth.

Other young women also approached Mikhail.

It was the first time Mikhail had received so much attention from women.

Mikhail’s face turned red.

Mikhail looked around and saw that only young women were crowded around him, and the villagers were watching with satisfaction.

Village Chief Santos approached Mikhail, and the women stepped aside.

Village Chief Santos grabbed Mikhail’s shoulder and said with a serious face.

“You have an important mission.”

Mikhail calmed down and asked.

“What is it?”

“First of all, I need to explain. The teenagers and 20s in this village are only unmarried women.”

Mikhail was surprised.

“Huh?!”

“That’s right. The men left in this village are over 30s, and they are all married. The teenagers and 20s are all unmarried women.”

“No, how does that happen?”

“Even if they have children, only girls are born. And when monsters come, only men die. As a result, there has been a serious gender imbalance.”

“Then….”

“The humans in this village are weak. We have been waiting for strong genes like yours. We hope you will spread your excellent genes to increase strong humans. That is the way for humanity.”

Mikhail looked around and saw the women smiling.

Village Chief Santos said with a serious face.

“Multiple people are okay. Take as many wives as you want. But if you take them as wives, you must take responsibility.”

Mikhail replied loudly.

“I will take responsibility with everything I have!”

That day, Mikhail chatted with the women and entered his room in Village Chief Santos’s house.

Mikhail’s face looked so happy.

Mikhail kept giggling.

“Hehehehehe. Hihihihi.”

Mikhail washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep when someone knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock

Mikhail called out.

“Come in.”

Rana came in.

“Mikhail oppa….”

Mikhail asked.

“Rana, what’s wrong?”

Rana approached Mikhail and confessed.

“I…. I fell in love with you after seeing you fight today. Please hug me.”

Mikhail was surprised.

“Really?! Isn’t it too early?”

“It’s okay. Santos Grandpa also allowed it. My parents are both gone, so I’ve only lived with Santos Grandpa. I was so lonely. Please fill me up.”

Mikhail was moved and hugged Rana.

“I will.”

Mikhail and Rana began to make love.

---

This is the broadcasting room in the basement of Heaven Village.

When Mikhail and Rana had sex, the director shouted.

“Cut! From here, put a 19+ sticker on it and move it to adult broadcasting!”

The staff replied.

“Yes!”

The director instructed.

“Close-up and zoom in on the sex scene!”

The camera staff diligently operated hidden cameras to film Mikhail and Rana’s sex scene.

This would be filmed as adult broadcasting and sold.

---

Two years passed.

Mikhail took most of the teenagers and 20s in the village as wives, including Rana, Mia, and Mariam.

Rana and Mia also had 1-year-old children.

Mikhail steadily blocked the monster waves coming into the village.

The monster waves became stronger and stronger.

At the same time, the items coming out of the pyramid also became stronger.

The pyramid also produced Do it yourself sets for building watchtowers, magic golems, and magic turrets.

Now, watchtowers were built in the village, and people could shoot arrows from the watchtowers.

Wooden barricades were built inside the stone wall to hinder the movement of monsters.

Excellent magic turrets made by the Talka Research Institute were built inside the barricades to attack the monsters.

There were also magic golems.

Magic golems were considered extra lives to fight instead of people.

---

One night, Mikhail was sleeping alone in his room when an unknown black man was standing next to him.

The black man was wearing a suit and sunglasses.

Mikhail was surprised and shouted.

“Who are you!”

The black man opened his mouth.

“You are in a virtual world.”

Mikhail was angry.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Humanity is now trapped in machines and dreaming in a virtual world. You are the Hero who will save humanity. Wake up quickly and fight the machines.”

“How can I believe you! And how did you get in here!”

Then Rana opened the door.

“Mikhail oppa? Why is it so noisy?”

Rana was surprised to see the black man.

“Uh!”

Suddenly, Rana’s appearance changed and she turned into a man wearing a black suit and sunglasses.

The man wearing sunglasses cracked his neck and rushed at the black man.

“Morpheus! You’ve come this far!”

The black man, called Morpheus, took a fighting stance and said.

“Agent Smith. Is there no choice but to fight.”

Agent Smith threw a punch, but Morpheus grabbed it and punched him in the stomach.

Peok

Agent Smith coughed for a moment and then hit Morpheus in the head.

Peok

Two men wearing sunglasses were punching in front of Mikhail.

Mikhail’s mouth was wide open in shock, and he muttered.

“Crazy….”

Then Morpheus hit Agent Smith in the temple, and Agent Smith fainted.

Morpheus said to Mikhail with a bloody mouth.

“Do you understand now? This is a virtual world.”

Mikhail asked in a trembling voice.

“Is Rana…. real?”

Morpheus replied.

“Yes. Everyone in this village is asleep in the machine. Agent Smith is a guardian of the virtual world and can appear by borrowing people’s bodies.”

“Then Rana and my child….”

“Your child was also actually born. In the machine.”

Mikhail said with a pale face.

“This can’t be….”

Morpheus held out his clenched hands and opened them, revealing a red pill and a blue pill.

“Now is the moment of choice. If you take the red pill, you will know the cruel truth. If you take the blue pill, you can continue this happy life.”

Mikhail swallowed hard.

Mikhail thought seriously.

‘What should I do? I don’t want to give up my current life.’

Mikhail eventually picked up the blue pill.

“I want to keep dreaming.”

Morpheus said with a bitter face.

“Is that your choice? I can’t help it.”

Mikhail swallowed the blue pill and lost consciousness.

Mikhail woke up the next day with a stiff body.

“Why is my body so stiff? Aish. I had a nightmare.”

Mikhail went down to the first floor, and Mikhail’s wives were waiting.

“Honey! Have breakfast!”

“Okay!”

Mikhail had another happy day today.

---

I, Kyle, was watching Mikhail on the screen in the underground broadcasting room of Heaven Village.

The red pill and blue pill event was an event I came up with.

I became the black man Morpheus and met the Hero.

Asmodeus was Rana and then transformed into Agent Smith.

Asmodeus next to me complained to me.

“My love. It hurt so much. Sniffle.”

“I’m so sorry! You know I love you, right? I hit you as weakly as possible!”

Asmodeus and I hit each other with human-level strength, so there was no damage, but I kept comforting Asmodeus.

This event was a betting event for all the people of the Kyle Holy Kingdom.

People called with mana crystals to vote on whether Hero Mikhail would choose the red pill or the blue pill.

A few people who guessed correctly would be given a gift by lottery.

Many people participated in this event.

The betting situation was shown live on the broadcast, achieving the highest viewership rating.

Mikhail eventually chose the blue pill.

I was planning to create a bleak small world where humans and magic golems were at war if Mikhail chose the red pill.

There, Mikhail would lead the human resistance and defeat the magic golems to rescue the people trapped in the virtual world.

Since Mikhail chose the blue pill, he would live happily ever after as the Hero who leads the last survivors of humanity.

I muttered.

“Well. If you believe that the virtual world is real, it becomes real. Isn’t it okay if you’re happy?”
