I Became the Villain That Heroes Obsessed With

"Now! The time for the second question has ended. The hottest fruit in the world… is Nectarine! It's called 1,000 degrees nectarine*, so it's probably the hottest! Hahahahaha!" 

Let's move on to the third question. What would the servant say in three letters when he parts from the king?"

"The answer was Viking. Bye King*! Hahahahaha!" *TN: In Korean, 'V' doesn't exist, so Korean people usually pronounce English words that start with 'V' as 'B'. In this situation, 'Viking' will be pronounced as 'Biking', which sounds similar to 'Bye King'.

"Fourth question! What would it be to call a country that has no beef in 5 letters?"

"The answer was beef radish soup*! No beef country (!!)! Hahahaha!

*TN: ????? (Sogogi Muguk) is a Korean dish. 'Muguk' means 'Radish soup', but is also written as 無國 in Hanja with the meaning of 'The country without'.

As the questions continued, the expression of passengers gradually darkened.

Those who were quite good at first started to get it wrong one by one as the questions continued.

And this game… If you make one mistake, you're out.

In other words, by the end of the second half, there were only a few people left.

Honestly, this is considered a lot.

Honestly, Egostic himself thought that there would be no one left by the eighth quiz.

Surprisingly, there were three left.

A little boy who got everything right, he must have read a lot of humor books since he was young.

Chewing bubble gum, a high school girl who doesn't seem nervous at all.

A guy who seems like he would have made a lot of dad jokes to his subordinates at a get-together.

The eyes of passengers were focused on these three who were still holding smartphones.

Because their last hope was these three. They were looking at them with more earnestness than anyone else.

In the tense situation, desperate eyes that suffocate people come from all over the place

The man, who was a little bald, was sweating while looking around.

Of course, the child, who still knows nothing about this world, was waiting for the next question without caring about the situation. Maybe he thinks this is an actual game. Only his mother, who was next to him, was looking at him with an anxious look.

And a high school girl who is chewing bubble gum in a red baseball jumper.

I don't know why she was flying alone in her school uniform at this time of day, but she was watching the video from the front, casually, with her chin on her hand.

And at the same hour. There was someone on the ground looking up over them.

[…Stardus. Are you there yet?]

"Yes, I arrived. For now."

The Jeju branch of the Hero Association.

In the basement deep in the building, Stardus responded to the call.

"Barf. Barf*. *TN:Puke sfx"

"…Kim Ja-hyun, are you okay?"

"Do I look okay to you? Barf ."

The person who is vomiting is Kim Ja-hyun. His hero's name is Shadow Walker.

He is one of the three A-class heroes in Korea along with the Stardus, and is also the strongest person in certain circumstances.

Yeah, he's the strongest 'only in certain circumstances'.

Shadow Walker. A hero who is purely strong at night.

Only working at night, he can be melted into the shadow and moved anywhere without difficulty.

He's different from Egostic, who will probably die from a heart attack after traveling more than 100 kilometers, or the Teleporter, who traveled only 100 meters and was killed in one shot.

As long as it's dark enough where he is, and as long as it's dark enough where he's going to move.

In theory, he can move to the other side of the Earth. Of course, it's daytime on the other side of the world, so it's impossible.

And the most important thing. At night, he's invincible because half of his body is actually a shadow.

In other words, he doesn't die. Whether it's a physical attack or a biochemical attack, he's practically invincible.

In addition, he can suck his opponents into his own shadow and move them anywhere.

He's the Lord of the Night. This is why criminals in Korea don't commit anything at night, and villains never commit terrorism at night.

People gave him the nickname 'Shadow Kidnapper'.

As soon as he gets a report, he moves there and instantly moves the criminal to prison.

In other words, even if he can only work at night, he can still be considered at the top level among most heroes in the world.

In fact, he was the only person in Korea who almost has every qualities to be an S-class hero.

But because of that weakness, he was forced to be an A-class.

It's just that he's so weak during the day.

Whether it's teleporting or Buddhist judgment.

If there's light, he's useless.

His body, which was clearly athletic at night, strangely weakens rapidly during the day.

Well, he always sleeps during the day because it's hard to stay awake beyond getting weak.

Of course, he's not that useless in the daytime. 𝘭𝑖𝑏𝘳ℯ𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Whether it's teleportation or Buddhist judgment he can work it out during the day to some extent as long as there is enough 'darkness'. Of course, there will be severe side effects.

So the Hero Association of Korea has created a basement under the Association's branches in Seoul, Busan, and Jeju.

They create a very dark environment artificially so that he can move other heroes in shadow movement.

For that reason, Shadow Walker, Kim Ja-hyun, who was sleeping well, woke up in the middle of the day, not in the middle of the night, used his shadow and took Stardus from Seoul to Jeju Island.

Although he didn't seem to like it so much.

"Barf… Haa… Hey, did you have to do this? I feel like I'm going to die…"

"Yes, it was necessary. But I'm sorry, rest well."

"Haa… I feel like dying…"

The Stardus ran as soon as they arrived.

The lone Shadow Walker took his breath as he waited for the staff to come down to help him.

"Haa… Please, you villains. Please only commit crimes at night."

His monologue only sank deep in the basement where darkness had fallen.

The characteristic of villains these days is that they are always active during the day.

***

[…The answer to the ninth question was Deoksugung Palace!]

"Oh, fuck."

[Oh! Did someone make a sound? Now, now. I'm going to cut one wire. Oh, man! There are only two left!]

The line of the bomb was cut off as the high school girl confirmed her answer. One of the three was cut off, so there are two left.

All the passengers around glared at her, but she didn't mind but murmured quietly.

'I shouldn't have trusted that kid.'

Fortunately, she was only muttering something to herself, so no one noticed, not even passengers or Egostic.

Of course, passengers were not in a fortunate situation at all. The high school girl and the kid, both got it wrong.

His mother quietly hugged the tearful and regretful child. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢

So there's only one left.

There was only one man sitting in the middle, sweating like a waterfall with his head peeled off.

The egotistic laughter came out from the speakers.

[Oh, my! There's only one person left. Shall I call you the famous last one? Let's see… Kim Deok-bae! Yes, Kim Deok-bae is the only one who got all 9 questions right]

A man was surprised when his name is mentioned.

[He's the only person who can challenge the 10th question. It must be a burden to think that the lives of all 80 people on this plane now depend on Kim Deok-bae's fingers. Kim Deok-bae, how do you feel? Say something.]

As Egostic asked him to speak, as someone who was about to die of nervousness, the sad middle-aged man Kim Deok-bae looked like he was about to faint.

Kim Deok-bae stuttered in a red face while having the eyes of everyone around on him.

"Uh, I-I will take responsibility and-"

[How dare you! Didn't I say earlier that I would cut a wire if anyone made a sound? Why did you open your mouth? Let me cut another wire.]

Then, the line attached somewhere on the plane was cut off.

People who saw it on the screen in front of the seat in real-time.

"!!!…..!"

They were about to vent their anger at the moment when they were dumbfounded.

Now that there was really only one wire left, they had no choice but to express their anger with their expression without speaking up.

[Wow, he's a real devil]

[Isn't it similar to the situation where someone says 'If you move this, I will shoot you!' 'Put your hands up! Why are you moving your hands?' and then shoot?]

[This is… Egostic? Where's the Mango Stick that I knew so far?]

[???: Have you came to your sense yet?]

When the chat window, which was usually favorable to Egostic, sticks out their tongue at his viciousness.

Only Egostic, as if for granted, only raised his voice.

[Why did you speak up? You can use body language. Sign language. Gosh. You're not witty.]

People angered a bit but immediately calmed down at Egostic's words.

The man must have noticed how everyone burst into anger.

There's no point in having one line left to stop the bomb explosion.

If they get the last quiz wrong in the first place, the bomb will explode.

This place is full of breathtaking coldness.

Only the speaker's voice answered the last question brightly.

[This is the 10th and the last question! If you get this right, you will get off the plane safely, and if you get it wrong… You know, right? Here's the question. What is the kids' favorite oil? Countdown, here we go!]

[3 : 00]

[2 : 59]

[2 : 58]

…

He gave out the last question.

Everyone's attention was focused on the sweating middle-aged man.

The people who can't guess any answers at all,

People who know the answer to a certain extent,

Even those who are sure of the answer cannot say anything.

Just the middle-aged man, eagerly. he just looked at it more eagerly than ever.

"…."

The man with such a red face, contemplated for a long time.

[0 : 03]

[0 : 02]

[0 : 01]

At the last minute, he wrote the answer.

[Three, two, one. Time's up! Let's guess the answer. Let's see, he wrote 'IU'. Now, let's see. Let's see. Yes! The answer is…]

A breathtaking strain

The passengers on the plane.

People who are watching from the ground.

Everyone swallowed saliva and waited, and then the answer was announced.

[The oil that kids like the most… It was May Oil (May 5th*)! IU was the wrong answer!!! That's too bad. Well then, tsk…] *TN: May 5th (?? ?? [O-wol O-il]) is Children's day in Korea. O-il (5th) also sounds very similar to the English word 'Oil'.

Egostic thought once and then went on.

[The end, bye!]

Boom!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

With the sound of something exploding.

The plane began to crash.
