bang!
A shabby office outside Ragnarok.
Vance burst in through the door, giggling and opening his mouth.
“How come your name is Pyo-hyu? Is it an abbreviation for Wol-gyeong-hyu-sul?”
“It’s not a holiday, it’s a holiday. You dirty, ignorant punk.”
Thud!
“I’m lying down on the dusty sofa,” said Vance.
“Anyway, it’s amazing. This shit is really top-notch. It was so annoying that I couldn’t watch it till the end.”
“You have done a good job of directing when you can’t even see your parents or children and turn a blind eye to it. If even an idiot like you can look away, then your debut was a success.”
“······That’s harsh.”
Whoosh!
A man with a languid face, roughly taking off his blood-stained white shirt.
There was a bullet wound in his side. Blood was oozing out of the rather large wound, but he didn’t care. He could stop the bleeding whenever he wanted.
After the sign.
He was Jong-Hoo-Pyo who got the body of a V-Doll.
Flash!
Behind the glasses that gave off an intellectual image, Jong-Hoo Pyo’s eyes shone coldly.
“It doesn’t matter what my name is. What matters is that my name is deeply engraved in the hearts of the voters. The point of a speech is to imprint an image.”
“You just scammed me.”
Bam!
Jong-Hoo Pyo, who had broken the temples of his perfectly good glasses and tried to wear them again, looked down on Vance, who was talking about fraud, and scolded him.
“You’re talking nonsense. Courage! Leadership! Inclusiveness! People have stronger desires and aspirations for what they don’t have and can’t do than any other living creatures. That’s how they were designed. So even if I just pretend to bravely confront the anti-company, people who used to look down on the anti-company will join me when they see the opportunity. Public opinion becomes a playground that can be played with at any time.”
Okay then.
Reserve—
“Vance said, picking his ear as if he was dying of annoyance.
“That’s right. You caught a corpse outside and threw it away.”
The Jonghupyo is now a doll of Vuitan with magical powers added to it.
In addition, since he had added Revan’s magic power to it, it wasn’t difficult to show the power to kill a low-level corpse. He could easily pretend to be a level 7~8 skilled person.
“Also, I made the kids shoot guns.”
It was a very precise shot. However, even though it wasn’t a real body, it waited to be shot without even blinking. Vance couldn’t believe it as he watched.
“A dramatic portrayal of a persecuted underdog is essential. You have to be able to stimulate the emotions of voters and touch their hearts to be a good actor.”
Soon, Jong-Hoo-Pyo said, adjusting his tie.
“From now on, there will be idiots who try to follow me and become popular. Those guys should be threatened to stay home wearing masks or kicked out of the city. I need to show myself fighting against injustice alone so that I can get more spotlight.”
Vance snorted, ignoring the comment.
“If that’s politics, I’ll do it too. If I break all the candidates’ legs, won’t I get elected?”
Beep—
Jong-Hoo-Pyo replied while rubbing his skin with the LED nanofactor. In a truly pitiful tone.
“Tsk tsk, violence is not politics, it’s a means of struggle for survival. It’s a means to politics!!! You ignorant little brat. Can’t you see the voters sitting on my shoulders? Their mouths are the power. Even if they kill a hundred or a thousand people quietly. If it goes over a hundred thousand or a million, that’s an army, an army!”
Vance asked with a suspicious look in his eyes.
“···No, if a million people get together and badmouth your brother, won’t it just be a total mess? This kid seems to have some kind of weird plan, but no matter how I look at it······.”
“The purpose of opposing the anti-company movement is to gain popularity and suppress opposition in the short term. I’ll sweep away public opinion and make them support me for now, and I’ll take some of the credit from you and give it to you as a favor. Later, I’ll realize the anti-company’s true feelings, and I’ll show you a tearful scene of reconciliation and peace. I’ll call the anti-company chairman and wave his hand in front of the stage.”
By naturally agitating and gaining the popularity of the opposing side, and eventually joining hands with the anti-company, they are saying that they will completely destroy the hostile public opinion.
It wasn’t a skill that had been done once or twice.
After a while, Jong-Hoo Pyo opened his eyes wide and spoke confidently.
“I will become the god of the marginalized. For the people, and only for the people. If I just make the name known, it won’t be a big deal to boil this new parliament.”
At the hint of madness, Vance chuckled.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Why don’t you just become a cult leader instead?”
“When a cult grows in power, it is subject to the central control of the federation and corporations. Naturally, it takes a huge amount of money. There is no honor. All around it are sly and stupid followers with low intelligence. But politicians? There is no other organization to check them. They get a salary just by doing nothing. Honor comes naturally. They play golf on the slopes of the Valhalla Mountains. Everyone I meet is a pretty smart guy, and they all want to put bribes in my pocket. They are different colors! Do you think they are comparable, you idiot?”
Jong-Hoo Pyo continued speaking with confidence.
“And I need to get some fame too, that bastard Hwangryun······Aww, ugh.”
Finally, Jong-Hoo-Pyo, who had messed up his hair like crazy, checked himself in the mirror. His glasses were broken, his hair was disheveled, and his white shirt was stained with blood.
Jong-Hoo-Pyo’s voice suddenly lowered.
“Ragnarok Council. There is currently one vacant elected seat, and according to the law, a supplementary election will be held tomorrow. Isn’t this a council without any meaning, power, or honor? We cannot just sit back and do nothing when the safety net of the entire city is threatened. The council, which is only in name, should exist for the citizens of the city. It is an elected office with only one year left in its term. I beg you. As a resident of Ragnarok City, and as a signal to establish a stable system for the city through close consultation with the federal government… Well, that’s enough.”
Clap clap!
Jong-Hoo Pyo slapped his cheek a few times, then raised his hand as if to say that it was okay and limped out of the office.
Outside the shabby office, a crowd of voters – including a doll from Buetang – could be heard shouting.
Vance, who was watching the scene, stuck out his tongue at the disgust that had become a natural part of his body.
Then, I looked at the nameplate on the office table.
Current Ragnarok City Councilor.
After the sign.
Even before becoming a city council member, he had already set up his nameplate and office.
“He really is a real jerk. This is why the world is going to end······.”
After Jong-Hoo-Pyo and his followers disappeared somewhere.
Vance dragged his slippers and got into the car. The dark-tinted car quickly passed the confused residents of the square and glided toward the Ragnarok City Wall.
* * *
The next morning at dawn.
Outside the Ragnarok Wall, where dark clouds gather.
On the other side of the pitch-black darkness, something is stirring.
It was as if I was watching waves slowly approaching.
—······.
The shadows of the dim selectors stretched long in front of the barrier, thanks to the lights outside Ragnarok illuminating the sky beyond the barrier. They paid attention to them, approaching slowly in the distance.
And then at some point.
Phew!
A flare shot quickly into the sky. The world briefly became as bright as day. The identity of the waves that had been slowly approaching was visible beneath the red-tinged world.
Gaaaaaaaaa————!
Only then do the five senses of humanity open their eyes. The corpses are advancing so fast that the ground is shaking. There are over a thousand people gathered in front of the wall, so the smell of people and blood is carried far away by the wind.
Third Selector. One of those who had been provided with tech guns, military protective gear, and even their own weapons, shouted.
“Be alert!!!”
The corpses that were pouring in from outside the barrier were revealed. Skin peeled off by the Federation’s artillery fire, tendons exposed, joints twisted, eyeballs slit open. The dead ran, screaming, to devour the flesh of the living and bring them down to the same fate as themselves.
Crunch!
The selectors of the anti-company took up their personal firearms. This was a whole other level than training. The smell. The touch. The enemy’s momentum. Actual fights where you kill and are killed.
Doo doo doo doo doo—
Soon, a tremendous gunshot echoed outside the barrier. The corpses that had been rushing in like a wave were shot, and fell over, their feet tangled and entangled. The number of corpses crushed to death was overwhelmingly greater than the number of those shot to death. Nevertheless, they came closer to the barrier, their flesh gnawing. They stretched out their hands and screamed. Somehow, to bite the fresh man.
“Damn it. There’s too much here······!”
Those who hesitated in fear had already come out. It was because there were more corpses than expected. The grim reapers were crawling on the ground, their limbs torn off, all around. Now, the distance between the one at the front and the one in front was 200 meters in front of the city wall. It would only take a few seconds to sprint.
In the meantime.
Srrrrung—
“Let’s go slowly.”
“I will support you from above.”
Some of the selectors dropped their firearms and drew their swords. Then they boldly charged into the place where bullets intersected and corpses reached out.
Clang Clang—
Then he jumps between the corpses and cuts them up with a crunch. Blood and dead organs spurted out from the cleanly cut cross-sections of the corpses.
Phew!
Then, several figures rose into the sky and began to fire magic towards the wave of corpses. A relentless barrage. As deep blue sword energy and magic poured into the battlefield, the confusion spreading among the selectors noticeably diminished.
“1, These are the first round of selectors.”
“······You’re crazy. How can you follow those monsters?”
At first glance, it was overwhelming power. The first-round selectors who had been skilled before entering the company were now literally monsters, slaughtering corpses. Most of them had reached level 7 or higher.
But at that time.
Kwajik!
With a flash of sword light, the first selector who had been slaughtering and chopping up the corpses was thrown away, spraying blood. At the same time, a dizzying aura engulfed the selectors’ minds.
A monster that laughed and walked out, mocking the corpses. The tentacles dragging its 3-meter-tall body swung like a snake’s tongue. A powerful corpse was hidden among the low-level corpses. The energy that spread out across the entire battlefield in an instant was enough to stiffen the bodies of thousands of humans.
and······.
Ppujik!
Like used tomato ketchup, stale and dead.
As the selectors’ distant vision gradually returned.
Hwarrrrrrrrrr—!!!
“···!!?”
Before we knew it, a lava giant spewing blue salt had descended onto the battlefield, trampling over the corpses stretching out their legs.
Kurururururung—!
With a light stamp of his foot, the sizzling salt water comically covered a radius of a hundred meters. The corpses within the radius disappeared without leaving behind even a bone or a drop of blood. The terrifyingly hot heat exploded and rose into the sky.
A radius of boiling blue chloride. The dead corpses left behind only essence.
Within a short while, a small pool of essence was created in the center of the semicircle left by the lava giant. The giant, which had nonchalantly melted the corpses in a wide area and replaced them with essence, fired a new form into another battlefield.
······It was a power that seemed to break the laws of the world.
He is the co-CEO of Van Company, the wizard Dylan.
“You idiots. That’s what a real monster says.”
Pot!
The first selector who had flown away earlier returned, swore at the frozen selectors, and then jumped back into the battlefield.
So, how much time passed in silence?
The third-stage selectors, who had been blankly staring at the boiling salt, drew their swords one by one and began to run into the battlefield where the salt was blazing.
After that.
Kuguguguguguguguguguguguguguung—!!!
The dismantled walls of Ragnarok City began to open with a loud noise.
To increase the city walls and secure the survival area for humanity.
One day, the foundation for developing Ragnarok into the last city of humanity.
Megacorp Van Company, it was the moment when Revan’s ideology stepped out into the world.
* * *
Jeobuk-
Amazon Mengwu Jia.
He was walking through a ruined city.
“······.”
And soon, I saw the corpses of humans, horribly dead and dried up.
Under crude facilities, almost like livestock breeding facilities.
Wheeing—
After witnessing the savage sight of maggots writhing on dried skin and bones, Maeng Woo-gak indifferently walked towards the next city.
