[Title] Let's summarize the facts about A-class villain Egostic… real.

Eliminate the S-class villain Enzodiac.

Eliminate the A-class villain Rhino.

A special cruise ship's dilemma broadcast that throws tension at the boring Korean people. (zero casualties)

He suppressed the terrorism by his followers and paid compensation to the hostages.

Eliminate the A-class villain Teleporter. For your information, the Hero Association approved that it would be hard to catch him.

I don't think he is a villain Hahahahaha.

[Anonymous 1] What villain? He is certainly a true 'hero'.

ㄴ[Anonymous 2] That's right haha.

[Anonymous 4 Honestly, Egostic is better than Stardus. Haha.

ㄴ[Anonymous 5] Really. Let's be honest. What have Stardus done until now? She caught one or two A-class villains, so what? Our king Ego already caught an S-class villain. Hahaha.

ㄴ[Anonymous 6] This is a bit;; No matter how much you guys flatter him, bringing down a hero is too much. You went too far…

ㄴ[Anonymous 7] Stardus fanclub arrested.

ㄴ[Anonymous 15] Arrested HeSpy.

ㄴ[Anonymous 16] What is HeSpy?

ㄴ[Anonymous 17] Hero Association Spy

ㄴ[Anonymous 6];;;;

[Anonymous 8] Please eliminate the villain~ Please also do entertainment. Honestly, I like him~ Hahahahaha.

ㄴ[Anonymous 9] You like a terrorist. Bullshit

ㄴ[Anonymous 8] Oh, and was there any casualties? Hahahaha.

[Anonymous 10] So why are you guys swearing at Stardus? I really have no idea.

ㄴ[Anonymous 11] Isn't it because she is not as good as Egostic so people attacked her?

ㄴ[Anonymous 12] She is the least active among the three A-class heroes. Hahahaha. Honestly, Shadow Walker and Icicle saved hundreds of people by themselves, but Stardus has not done much so far.

ㄴ[Anonymous 13] Honestly, Stardus only has her face. Hahaha. Let's just lower her grade to class B and put Egostic as A-class hero.

ㄴ[Anonymous 14] The Hero Association should recruit our Mango Stick as a new hero right now!

"Tsk…"

I drooled while looking at the computer screen.

Things are getting worse than I thought.

Did the problem start when that Teleporter ran away and I had to chase after him downtown?

People must have seen me as a hero who killed villains.

I am speechless…

"Gosh…"

I entered the NaX cafe with a hazy expression.

A site called [Egostick's Official Fancafe].

Why… are there so many members?

"The future of Korea is dark!"

I looked up to the air and let out a sigh.

How can those people live in this nation? The people who support villains?

Of course, it was a problem, but the bigger problem was Stardus.

My fanclub (?), which is strangely increasing in number, has begun to pour out criticism against Stardus.

My de facto hero, Stardus. How should I say it… They seem to hate her very much.

"This isn't it… This is not what I expected…"

I never wanted it to be like this.

What are they thinking about sucking up to me like this?

Have they already forgotten about my cruise ships incident?

…Well. I got a headache after seeing someone answer an interview on Youtube, 'Actually, it was kind of fun'.

I think Korea in this world has gone crazy.

I have been trying to raise the public's favor for Stardus, but I cannot believe I even lowered it.

What a sinful fan I am.

I made up my mind.

I will show those foolish people how dreadful a villain is.

And I will make them remember how pretty, righteous, sincere, adorable and wonderful Stardus is.

"Seo-eun, let's start the operation!"

I strode out into the living room.

Seo-eun and Soobin were sitting on the sofa and watching TV.

"It hasn't been that long since you lied down, how are you already full of energy…"

Seo-eun scolded me. I have been resting for a few days so I am feeling better now. The fatigue recovery capsule's function is good.

I flopped down next to Seo-eun.

Soobin, who was also sitting next to Seo-eun, was watching TV while peeling an apple.

"Da-in! Da-in, you are on TV again!"

Soobin's eyes were sparkling as she pointed her hand at the TV.

It has been about two weeks since we lived together, and now we are quite close.

That's right! She finally realized it. What a harmless human being I am.

Although she and I had a bad start, my constant gaslighting…not! My constant friendliness. With my friendliness, she opened her heart to me.

So it makes sense when she calls me by my name comfortably. We live in the same house so it would be funny if she calls me Mr. Da-in or Mr. Egostic.

Da-in. That is my name. My name has nothing to do with Egostic. Now, the only people I know in this world are Seo-eun and Soobin. Of course, I am now more popular as Egostic more than my name 'Da-in'.

After exchanging my name with Soobin, she became very energetic. She is doing the cooking, washing and the dishes! Seo-eun and I are living comfortably without having to lift our fingers. We are not mean. Every time she says, 'Let me at least do this…' with teary eyes, then we have no choice but to let her do it. I am telling you the truth.

In conclusion, Soobin is not scared of me anymore. That is good. Since now we are living under the same roof, it would be awkward if she is scared of me.

Anyway, I looked at the TV that she pointed to.

They did a topic discussion at the end of the news. The topic below that is

[Egostic, will he be the new icon of the gen MZ?]

"..."

Oh, god.

I never expected to see the term 'gen MZ' in this world either.

I smacked my forehead and drooled.

The term 'gen MZ' refers to people in their 20s and 30s.

So what they mean is I am the current icon of young people.

"Hey, Da-in. You have become popular!"

Seo-eun laughed as if she was teasing me.

Yeah. I have become popular. Even in a good way.

I watched TV while eating the apple that Soobin peeled. Let's see what they are going to say.

Soobin also focused on the TV, just like me. No, she is even more focused than I am. Why are you being like that? You made me feel embarrassed… I would rather she looked at the smartphone like Seo-eun.

[It is a bit of a problem for gen MZ to follow a villain like this. Now, even the main news on the portal, all the comments are defending Egostic. This never happened before. Honestly, we all know the gen MZ is not very fond of the existing heroes. I assumed it is because of the successful image they got from luckily awakening with abilities. People have been complaining a lot about how heroes do not do their job and they are slow at dealing with incidents.]

The middle-aged man, who appeared to be the panelist, swallowed his saliva after sharing a long speech. And after asking for an excuse, he started drinking some water. Soobin started taking notes while listening next to me. Soobin… What are you doing…?

On the TV, the panelist was opening his mouth again.

[But the so-called Egostick villain seemed to scratch the citizens' itchiness. Many people were unhappy that the hero did not shoot the villains and only overpowered them. They simply put those people in jail even if they were sentenced to death… A lot of people complained that the penalty was too weak. But this Egostic villain kills them right away? Somehow the citizens feel happy with it.]

[But didn't he cause the cruise ships terrorism?]

The panelist responded to the host's question.

[It already watered down from the moment he prevented the terrorism caused by his followers last time. And honestly, there were no casualties during the previous attack.]

"That's right!"

I suddenly got up and shouted loudly, sitting next to me, Seo-eun and Soobin were surprised.

"You scared me! What is wrong with you!"

"I cannot leave things like this. We need to carry out new terrorism right away!"

"Huh? Didn't we decide to get rid of at least one villain before a new terrorist attack?"

When Seo-eun tilted her head and asked, I turned her head straight again.

"No. My image is getting better day by day. I cannot let it be like this! I wanted to be a villain against Stardus, not a hero all of a sudden… Anyway, we should show the Korean people what a 'real villain' is. Right now!"

As I shouted with enthusiasm, Seo-eun's expression turned bitter.

"Sure… I see. So what should we do this time? Should we do that Good Samaritan you said last time?"

"No, I am going with something else. I need to do something more evil."

"Haa… Alright. I guess I have to prepare a new one. Just tell me first."

"Well, the plan is…"

Stardus, just wait.

I will make you popular again.

On a windy bridge.

Standing there alone, I grinned at the camera.

I guess many people are watching.

I shouted out loud at them

"Long time no see, my fellow citizens! I am your likable villain, Egostic!"

Now, let the show begin again.

Let's see if they can still like me after this.
