I Become an Academy Award-Winning Villain - I Become an Academy Award-Winning Villain chapter 195

195 – Chapter 8. Losses are everywhere. (One)

2025.

The date has already entered May, and a lot has happened since the beginning of the year.

In particular, in April, there was a huge event such as the ‘Doooksini Incident’, and even a part of the Genros that occurred from it was kidnapped by an unknown organization called ‘Knights of Sephiroth’.

Many people died or went missing.

When people died, I couldn’t bring myself to speak, but a dark charisma appeared and kidnapped people from a convoy guarded by two S-class people, so I couldn’t help but talk.

-Where is our monthly kick man?

10 billion per month.

It is a symbolic number.

It is a symbolic number in many ways in that it has a 1 in front of it.

Even this 10 billion, or 120 billion a year, is not other money, but goes into the national treasury and ‘tax’, so if you spend this much money, you should be able to pay for it.

But where is he?

– Has anyone seen Gwangikgong since Christmas last year?

The man who is said to be Korea’s S-class hero and the world’s strongest man is not revealing himself.

Only Snow White was often seen at government official events, but Gwangik Gong did not appear in public for some reason.

Of course, when I had to step out, I definitely stepped forward.

When an S+ class demon appeared in North Korea in 2024, while other S classes were being pushed, it suddenly appeared and showed the dignity of cutting the devil with a single knife.

Even earlier than that, in 2022, he also showed how to overcome lightly with only one golden sword against S-class three from other countries.

So, on the Internet, there were conflicting opinions such as ‘Does Gwangik Gong not come out even in this kind of work?’

“Seolhee, are you in touch with Gwangikgong?”

“No. Not really.”

“That’s right. I don’t use a smartphone, I don’t even wear a Taegeuk watch, I’m an analog person born in the millennium era. I’m still using a feature phone, so I don’t text much.”

The president of the association climbed into the elevator inside the association with Baek Seol-hee.

“I was afraid that I might be contacted. It was like that before, and it’s like that now.”

Beep, beep, beep.

“I’m always sorry for Seol-hee. Because Gwangikgong didn’t go outside, Seol-hee kept doing external activities.”

“It’s okay. Well, since we’re number one, it would be nice if you could attend national events more often.”

“…a boney horse.”

As if entering a password, I pressed the floor of the elevator, the color of the elevator button changed and the elevator started to go down.

“Until last year, I just didn’t go out because I was annoyed. It’s okay to curse at Gwangik Gong until then.”

“Is this year different?”

“Yes. There is a secret that only the President, me, and the assistant secretary of Gwangik Gong know that other S-class people do not know.”

rattle.

The elevator goes down deeper than the basement of the association building.

The head of the association took off his sunglasses, wiped them with his sleeve, and hardened his expression as if preparing something.

“People in the world don’t know. No one knows. The reason I’m telling Seol-hee right now is because I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

“…what do you mean?”

“It means that Seol-hee may have to step up as Korea’s No. 1 S-class hero externally.”

rattle.

The elevator stopped.

As soon as the president of the association stepped forward, lights began to come on in the long corridor.

flash

A long passageway extends underground.

Baek Seol-hee wasn’t afraid because he had come down to the basement, but rather, the president of the association swallowed his saliva and was nervous.

“it’s okay?”

“It’s okay. Whoa. Really, every time I come down here, it feels like hell.”

“…There’s no such thing as a grave, right?”

“Well.”

The association president smiled and stepped forward.

“Maybe it’s the grave of someone who’s already died.”

“Chairman of the association. Don’t talk round and round, tell me right away. Don’t show yourself as an old man.”

“…….”

The president of the association, who was walking forward, stiffened.

“Damn it. You’re a bit older too, so don’t talk like kids these days. Huh? Back in the day, when I saw games or things like that, the village chiefs would leisurely tell me about the legend of the village.”

“Skip.”

“Damn, there wasn’t even a dialogue skip button back then.”

“Then tell me quickly. At 2x speed.”

“It’s an era where you had to wait for all the voices to play without fast-forwarding!”

The president of the association pointed to the end of the hallway with an angry expression.

“So, you’re asking me to say something that’s popular with kids these days? A simple three-line summary?”

“I’m glad the words came through.”

“Sheesh…. After you have children, I’ll tell you everything. Your mother just treated your uncle like this.”

“Rather than an uncle, isn’t it a grandfather by then, President of the Association?”

“You really, uhh. You know you won’t age.”

“Because he is a person with special abilities, he will continue to look like this even when he is old.”

“Cock.”

The door, which was made like an air-raid shelter somewhere, was filled with locks, and the president of the association stretched out his Taegeuk watch in front of the door.

“Yes, it’s good if you’re old. Rather, if you don’t get younger.”

“…….”

“I’ll summarize the situation of Gwangik-gong in three sentences.”

profit.

The iron door, which reached several centimeters, opened.

“Gwangikgong was seriously injured while fighting a demon in December of last year.”

“…no way.”

“And the result.”

When the door opened, an ordinary house appeared inside the shelter.

“This is what happened.”

“…….”

inside the air-raid shelter.

“…uh, um, hello. I’m Gwangikgong’s son.”

“Gwangik-gong is 23 years old. What nonsense are you talking about? Hey, Kim Jin-ho. It’s you?”

“…Uh, um.”

A blond-haired, kindergartener-like little boy was wearing pajamas and holding a wine glass.

“No, why did you suddenly bring that older sister? Hyung.”

“Keuheuk… You’re the only one who calls me hyung.”

“Don’t shoot a strange new wave and tell me quickly. What’s the situation now?”

As Baek Seol-hee’s voice calmed down, the boy-Kim Jin-ho cleared his throat and pointed at himself.

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just that he died and came back to life.”

“……?”

“This is not a human body now.”

Kim Jin-ho put his hand into the other arm.

“Heeek…?!”

“It’s not a ghost. It’s like a ghost, but for now, it’s maintaining its form with magic.”

“What, what. What the hell…?”

“What. Did you die and come back to life?”

Kim Jin-ho sipped his wine while talking nonchalantly.

“I’m currently in the Korean peninsula’s Jibakryeong. That’s how it happened.”

“…Is this also a superpower? Whose ability is it?”

“Uh, that’s it.”

“Total number of bimerangs.”

The head of the association pointed at Kim Jin-ho, who had a complex face and was blurry like a ghost.

“The gunman saved that guy.”

December 20, 2024.

Gwangikgong Kim Jin-ho is dead.

“The goblin was saved because he asked the gunman to save him.”

“…A goblin, why?”

“that’s.”

go, survived

“I don’t know.”

* * *

“Gwangikgong Kim Jin-ho is dead. He is no more. But he lives as Ji Park-ryeong.”

“Excuse me. No matter how much this ability is possible, isn’t Lion Resurrection a bit like that?”

As soon as I informed him of Gwangikgong’s current condition, Ymir straightened up.

“Sir, the joke is boring. It doesn’t make sense that the world’s strongest hero died. Now.”

“That doesn’t make sense…”

“I can’t be in this world! I know!! I know, but there are limits!!”

Ymir started to get angry.

“Then does it make sense to turn demons back into humans?”

“It’s not like that! When you die, it’s over! When you die!”

“Yes. Death is the end. You cannot come back to life. Usually.”

Only card games can be resurrected from the grave with a single magic card, and if that actually happened, the whole world would be in awe.

“We can.”

“…….”

“However, you can’t resurrect just anyone. Even if you resurrect, you’re left in the state of a spirit. It can’t be called a complete resurrection. It’s like an exorcist. It’s like calling a soul.”

“Oh my God. What kind of organization is the society?”

“An organization that is omnipotent but lacks physical time to curb the ugly desires of humans all over the world?”

Given enough time, one day the Order will unite the world as one.

It remains to be seen whether that time will be 1 year or 5 years.

And before the year changes, it is physically unknown whether it will be possible before someone bursts mentally and acts by hitting a meteorite on the earth.

“No, then why did Gwangikgong die? There must be a reason.”

“On the other side of the world, in a place no one knows, I was killed while fighting an S-class demon.”

“why?”

“Due to lack of magic.”

“When did that happen….. Why didn’t I know?

“Of course, it was a quiet war unknown to anyone.”

the other side of the world.

There was a time when 17 people of the lowest S class gathered quietly in a place where no one knew, and fought a bloody battle to kill each other.

“Seven S+ level demons. 10 S level powers. Regardless of whether they are heroes or villains, I decided to kill all the demons and rushed.”

“…I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

“It was handled quietly, and it was carried out without anyone knowing. If it had been known, the world would still be in great confusion. Well, it was resolved well and it is in the past, so it is not so important now.”

“What did the teacher do then?”

“We fought together. I broke the heads of two S+ class demons.”

“…….”

“What are you looking at? Oh, yes. I almost died. But you’re alive. Then it’s done.”

it was last year

If it’s important, it’s important, but what’s important now is only the impact it has on the present.

“Anyway, Kim Jin-ho died at that time. Now he is alive in a state of restraint, and now he is in a situation where he can only come out when he really needs to risk his life. Using magic means using will, and that means using one’s own existence.”

“Mana is life force?”

“Yes. When mana is exhausted, you really die. The soul is extinguished.”

“……Oh my gosh.”

Ymir’s expression hardened properly.

“Then he doesn’t appear, and the background of the association’s activities in Korea like this…”

“You saved Gwangikgong. It’s a soul.”

“…….”

“As for associations, they are infiltrating all over the world more than I thought. Is it possible that an S-class hero somewhere is actually an employee of an association? Not in Korea.”

“You mean there will be other countries.”

“right.”

It’s Yumir.

It is rewarding to say that you immediately notice what you were trying to tell me by insinuation.

“Although Kim Jin-ho is the only one who came back from the dead.”

“Well, why did you spare him? There would be no reason for the teacher to spare a man. I wonder if it’s a woman.”

“If I were a woman, do you think you would have saved me unconditionally?”

“Yeah.”

This is prejudice and slander.

I’m not some kind of female bird.

“Why are you asking why I saved the black man?”

“Yes.”

“I heard the will from the side… Hey. Yumir. You should never, never tell it anywhere. It’s a more serious secret than that Do Ji-hwan is a goblin, or that Gwangik-gong is dead and in a state of spirit. Al I guess?”

“…What is it?”

Ymir pricked up his ears, and I told her a secret into her ear.

whisper.

“……!!”

“Since I was young, I fought villains as a hero all my life, lived my whole life like a dog for the country, and in the end, fought 1:1 with an S+ class demon for the sake of the earth and humanity, and became friends. After hearing the will right before my death, That’s how I felt.”

The reason why I asked the commander to save Gwangik-gong.

“just.”

that.

“He was such a kind and nice guy. He was full of justice. Even though he died.”

I just did it because it was pitiful.

“It was very pitiful and pitiful.”

That a hero who devoted his whole life to serving the country and the world dies like that.

“yes.”

“It was sympathy.”
