Crazy Villain Regains Consciousness

16 episodes

“·················ogue.”

Oh Jong-yeop was unable to open his mouth due to the harsh environment in front of him. He was always cheerful and had already established himself as a mood maker in the Ministry of National Defense, but it was not an atmosphere where he could open his mouth.

Jung Joo-ho, who came closer, looked around the hall where he was being trained and said.

“I have never seen such a sight.”

“Yes.”

“I will see you more often in the future. That’s what it means to fight villains and monsters.”

“I didn’t expect Junho’s skill to be this high.”

“You’re a friend, you didn’t know?”

“I just knew it was great.”

“Right.”

It reminds me of hunting a saber tiger with an insignificant expression. I thought maybe I could be more amazing than I thought.

How the hell did he eat it?

The announced level was 5, but there is no way for a level 5 awakener to hunt a saber tiger alone. That means at least level 6. A little while ago, even the blow of Director Jeong Joo-ho was equal.

Joo-Ho Jung is a Level 7 Awakener who closely follows the Level 8 Superman who is said to be the strongest in existence. As he was the most likely candidate for the next level 8, there was a high probability that Junho Choi reached level 7.

‘Level 7 at the age of 25? I really did try to commit suicide.’

On the contrary, Jongsu, who genuinely called him hyung and treated him kindly, was one step ahead of him.

That was then. Jung Joo-ho missed the scabbard in his right hand and grabbed it again.

“Chief?”

“It is nothing.”

Without a single expression on his face, he grabbed the scabbard with his left hand and walked.

* * *

“·················ogue.”

Jung Joo-ho stared at his right hand, whose tingling still had not gone away.

The reason was clear. By blocking Choi Jun-ho’s attack in the front, the remaining aftermath has not been resolved.

It was just one crash. However, Choi Jun-ho’s blow remained as persistent as the afterglow of first love.

“He is level 7.”

Obviously, the number that came out of the level measurement was level 7.

Jung Joo-ho remembered his own conflict with Choi Jun-ho.

His gift is a mine. It is identical to the German Grand Meister Franz. However, Jung Joo-ho, who had seen Franz, did not know that mines were so tenacious and powerful.

The same goes for the villain boss who died a while ago. Didn’t my head explode with just the aftermath of a slight touch? Anyone who saw it would have thought that a bomb was planted in his head.

This is enough to accept reality.

“You mean it could be level 8?”

I remember what Jung Da-hyun said while measuring Choi Jun-ho’s level.

The limit of the level meter is 7, so it may have turned out to be level 7.

“Twenty-five. Level 8. Does this make sense?”

After the awakening appeared, the youngest superman to reach level 8 was 29 years old. Even that came from full support from the state.

On the other hand, Choi Jun-ho lived an unemployed life until the beginning of this year. There was an incomprehensible gap.

Did you run 10km on 100 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats every day like anyone else?

Anyway, if Junho Choi was really level 8, things would be different.

Level 8 is classified as a ‘superman’ and is the object of admiration of all awakened people.

They were the main force of the nation and a measure of national power.

Korea is one of the ten most powerful countries in the world for awakening.

But if you can fully use that power, it’s not.

Of the four people, one belongs to the state and three belong to a large guild. In order to borrow their power when they were traveling, they had to endure a lot of bleeding.

There is a fierce battle for leadership with a large guild right now.

In such a situation, if Choi Jun-ho becomes a Level 8 Superman belonging to the National Guard Bureau, the composition changes.

Jung Joo-ho, who has been keeping a large guild in check for a long time as a part of the government, was tempted by the appearance of a new level 8 Superman.

A treatment that would never be disappointing was possible. But there was something that bothered me.

The point is that he doesn’t know what Junho Choi wants. The past is unclear.

First of all, is this guy controllable?

Frankly, if Dahyun Jeong hadn’t brought her, I would have mistaken her as a spy sent to obstruct promotion in the competition department.

“We should first hear the parties’ opinions.”

Jung Joo-ho, who returned to the National Guard Bureau, called Choi Jun-ho.

* * *

“We are going to dig up information on every villain who has been arrested outside the factory. If we wait a little bit, we will be able to get information about the expunger and the league.”

“Yes.”

Having already heard all the necessary information, I nodded.

“As a result, I’m sorry for dispatching you to the place that was a trap.”

“no. There was no risk.”

“thank god.”

After saying that, Joo-ho Jung closed his mouth and just looked at me quietly. I thought I had something to say, so I quietly waited for the matter to come out.

“Are you thinking of getting a level measurement?”

“Have you not already received it?”

“I’m talking about measurements above that.”

“Measurements above?”

“Junho Choi, I think you are level 8.”

“·················ogue.”

I was silent, neither affirming nor denying. Jung Joo-ho seemed to think that my reaction was unusual.

“Level 8 is a being strong enough to be called a superman. It means that you are one of the few special beings in Korea. No inspiration?”

“I think it’s true that I didn’t really think much about the level.”

“Other people risk their lives to raise their level, but it’s different.”

“I thought that being a civil servant hunter was enough.”

For me, the level is the level of the hematoma. How many people did you kill to get that power? I got that power, but the more I do it, the darker the shadow of the past.

“Do you want me to take a level measurement, sir?”

“okay.”

“Is it ok to be level 8?”

“good. You can get wealth, fame, attention, everything.”

“Can I ask for more details?”

Joo-Ho Jung started explaining level 8. Level 8, called the pinnacle of national power, is classified as a superman and is revered as the strongest awakener.

In fact, there are places where national power is evaluated according to the number of Level 8 Awakeneds, and the safety rank that the nation’s existence is not shaken by the ever-growing monsters will rise. This is a requirement to attract foreign investment.

Therefore, each country is concentrating on having a level 8 Superman. It is a place where you can seize wealth, fame, and power.

I thought I knew what it meant to be level 8.

“It’s getting annoying.”

“…that’s how it is.”

Jung Joo-ho smiled sadly to see if my one-line summary was appropriate.

“It can also be used to promote the National Guard.”

“You can make astronomical money if you want.”

To be honest, I don’t really care about being escorted by me. Even if I get some in return and if something bothers me because of it, Joo-Ho Jeong has been a great shield.

To be honest, Jung Joo-ho said that the National Security Agency could not provide as much financial guarantee as other large guilds.

“However, if you belong to the state, there are free hunting and tax reduction under the protection of the state. Are you sure you want to go?”

I don’t think there is an option to not be measured.

Seriously, since you said that the ultimate goal of all Awakeneds is level 8, who do you think would be willing to give up on that position?

Except for people like me.

To be honest, I am not very greedy for money, and I am not interested in spreading fame. For me, my top priority is the happiness of my family.

But if I become level 8 and become more famous than I am now, will my family be happy? Parents who have their children go their own way and have an orchard in their hometown? Yoon Hee, who has just joined the Holy Guild and is showing off her abilities?

Being Choi Jun-ho’s parents and Choi Jun-ho’s younger brother, I was sure that he would be unhappy with the people around him.

“You said that once you reach level 8, your authority will increase significantly. I am a public servant hunter, so I am given the public power to execute it myself.”

“···It did.”

“Even if I was given authority, I don’t think I would abuse it. Don’t worry.”

“No, you are a bomb that never goes out. A nuclear bomb.”

I didn’t know the taste of a real nuclear bomb, so I decided to think that he was saying that.

“I remembered the ledger I got from the last drug gang.”

The names of countless people written on the ledgers.

Some of them have paid a price, but many more continue to live in wealth and power.

“When I reach level 8, can I catch those people back and forth?”

“···for a moment.”

Can’t you?

Jung Joo-ho looked at me and closed his eyes.

“The reason I didn’t arrest them all was to prevent any major confusion, but there were also false names. And some are misdemeanors who have used it a few times out of curiosity. It was excusable and ended with a light punishment.”

“okay.”

“Anyway, at the time, there was an effort to fix it without greatly expanding it. So the relatively light ones ended up with only mild punishment.”

“The chief has suffered.”

“Thank you for knowing. Anyway, you can do it when you reach level 8. But those who are entangled around you will cause all sorts of chaos.”

Can’t we catch them all?

I wanted to ask more, but he looked very tired.

“I will not take measurements.”

“···why?”

“I like wealth, fame, and power, but I hate interest.”

“·················ogue.”

“But I don’t even want to go anywhere else. So I would like to ask the chief.”

“What?”

“I heard that the director of the National Security Agency, the Foreign Cooperation Administration, and the Daema Water Defense Front Bureau can appoint a black agent.”

“no way?”

“I want to become a black agent.”

After contemplating my request, Jung Joo-ho finally accepted the offer.

And with a white burnt expression, he buried himself in the chair.

“This is a hidden knife, but somehow it seems like it will fly off my neck……”

“Trust me.”

“I can’t believe it.”

Have you been unable to trust me with your mission?

I have to work hard so that Jung Joo-ho can be trusted.

* * *

After the negotiations, my interest moved to a place called the League.

What was it that showed the boundary between Jung Joo-ho and the people of the National Guard?

Dahyun Jung answered my question.

“The League is a villain organization that is doing its best all over the world. It is made of a point system, so it is difficult to root out and exerts powerful power by interfering with sensitive issues.”

“Are you sure it’s not a villain organization?”

Dahyun Jeong shook her head.

“Because the worst villains in the world are in the league.”

That’s weird.

In my last life, I am the blood of what was called the worst villain ever. Not only in Korea, but later in the world, he caused all sorts of blood ties.

So I didn’t know about the league. The difference between what Dahyun Jung said and the information she knew was so great that I was confused about which one was correct.

Did my appearance cause something variable?

It’s only been half a year and he’s been quiet without any accidents. The timing was not right for a global villain organization to appear because of me.

Dahyun Jeong said that the reason the league is dangerous lies in the slogan called Esper First.

It was the idea that the superior themselves should rule the world while calling for the priority of the awakened.

The problem is that a lot of people take this for granted. Awakened people controlled by state power, as well as Awakened politicians in key positions in each country, secretly supported them.

As a result, several countries in the Third World collapsed and the Awakened took power.

As a result, advanced countries are conducting cooperative operations to define and eliminate the league as the world’s enemy.

The preliminary Awakenings blocked the league information on the internet around the world so that they could not access the existence of the league at all.

It was amazing. The league was such a big organization. But doesn’t that mean that I didn’t know it would disappear soon?

After the explanation, Jeong Da-hyun met Yoon-hee for the past few days and told her about the results of her teaching.

“Youn-hee’s talent is quite outstanding.”

“you’re right.”

A new feeling the more you roll? Maybe Yoon-hee had the best talent for rolling. It is a characteristic of Yoon-hee that the more she pushes her into a corner, the more her talent blooms.

“He said he learned a lot. thank you.”

“no. Rather, I was treated to delicious food. So, by the way, can I treat you as well?”

“Of course it will. I am looking forward to it.”

“Oh, no. You can’t wait. I’m not good at cooking. Since I was treated by Junho-san, I think it is the right thing to do as well.”

“I look forward to seeing you with a happy heart.”

Dahyun’s expression brightened.

“yes! I will practice hard.”

* * *

Even after returning home, the word ‘League’ did not leave my mind.

If it was such a large organization, I wouldn’t have known about it.

The reason for worrying about the league was simple. Their existence can act as a variable.

This life has been distorted to a large extent by my existence. However, the scope was limited to my surroundings, and the other fields flowed in the direction I remembered.

That’s why I couldn’t miss the league. Although some, the Awoken are enthusiastic, and the world’s worst villains belong to the organization.

It’s a place I shouldn’t because I, the former worst villain, didn’t know.

Why the hell do I not know them?

Did I really have no offer to join?

“for a moment.”

Then, there was a passing scene.

“…I remembered.”

Finally, the weathered old memories came to the surface.

It was a time when I was crazy.

There were quite a few people who approached me at the time. There were guys who had a crush on me, and there were guys who tried to use my power. All died at my hands.

Some of them said they would accept me as a colleague.

They said the league they belonged to.

They used to say that the discord in the world comes from the domination of inferiors. He insisted on me that the world must be turned upside down once in order to create a new world.

After hearing the whole story, I killed him.

After that, the league came a few more times to convince me.

I killed the guy who came every now and then.

Killed and killed, then continued to bother me, so I went to their stronghold and killed the remaining ones as well.

After that, the name of the league was no longer heard, and the league was forgotten in my memory.

The Republic of Korea in my last life became a league clean country because of me.

“Ah, it’s them.”
