Chapter 732

〈 Chapter 732 〉 Part 2, Chapter 5

The building was in chaos, engulfed in flames, as people spared no means or methods to survive the monster covered in fire.

And those who risk their lives running to save others are what we call heroes.

But are there really countless numbers of heroes?

Are they not called heroes because they are fewer and rarer than ordinary people?

Most people cannot act like heroes, struggling with the selflessness of risking their lives to help others, hence why they’re called mere people.

And then there exist ‘villains,’ those with tendencies opposite to both heroes and ordinary folks.

For instance, villains might start fires just to watch people suffer.

Or, for example, they might kick an elderly person to trip them and be eaten by the monster chasing from behind.

These villains are the ones known as baddies. Heroes do not forgive villains, especially grotesque monsters that defy humanity, whom they can eliminate to save citizens.

Heroes shine brightest when facing villains. Because there are people to protect, they can find the strength to fight.

But what if…

The people they’re protecting don’t trust the hero, acting on their own and causing accidents?

“AAAGH, KRAAKH, HUURGH!”

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

The blond youth collapsed, eyes rolling back, pinned to the ground. His arms were crushed under the panting beast-dog, while a female monster mounted him, proceeding to ravish him.

“Tch, damn it…!”

Gaon uncharacteristically spat curses, firing magic bullets wildly. The bullets flying out of the bunker had more killing power than most heavy weapons.

“Hostage shield!”

The monster shoved another hostage in front to block the bullets. Gaon quickly redirected the shots left and right, and the bullets flying straight scattered around the blond youth before piercing through the walls.

“Hahaha, what now? Already two have escaped!”

The monster mocked Gaon while molesting the groins of the two young men. Though knowing they were Xroids, the lifelike appearance of the young men’s members made Gaon’s face flush red.

“Crazy! What do you think you’re doing?”

“I’m saving them all! What’s wrong with a monster kidnapping people?”

“You’re going to kill them!”

“Can’t I have a taste before they die?”

The monster shamelessly violated the two youths, Xiankun, while other female monsters also focused on their own Xiankuns, greedily exploring their members without restraint.

“Grrr, this is so annoying…”

Gaon glared at the remaining civilians in the bunker, frustrated. If she stayed put and fought defensively, eliminating the monsters one by one would be simple, but fear-stricken civilians kept rushing out of the bunker.

“Haha! You think you can protect these people with just this?!

Male monsters hammered the bunker walls, laughing loudly. Their eyes were fixed on the only remaining civilian – the precious Xianjiang.

“Hero! Open the door! Xianjiang belongs to me!”

“It’s my turn to anal rape Xianjiang!”

“Open the door! Xiakun! Open the door! Xiakun!”

Amidst the chaos of various perverted desires targeting the Xian series, Gaon felt like she was about to lose her mind.

“No way! Have you guys ever faced someone like me in Russia?!”

Gaon’s protective barrier was infused with A+ rank magical power. Meaning, attacks below A-rank couldn’t even scratch it.

Though it was merely a 1cm thick water membrane, its fluid nature made it seem fragile as it rippled from constant impacts.

“EEEK! We’re doomed! Doomed!”

“AHH! Save us! We don’t want to be raped!”

“Hero, do something!!”

The terrified civilians couldn’t maintain composure. While Gaon knew these were programmed cries, during her real-life activities in Korea and Russia, she’d often encountered such “trolling” civilians.

“Ugh, so annoying!”

Indeed, these kinds of civilians existed, which is why they were realistically recreated in the simulation. Gaon gripped Xianjiang’s hand, the most valuable civilian, and increased her magical power.

“If attacking hostages makes all my points disappear, this is too much!”

Rescuing hostages from monsters could restore points, but attacking even one would erase all accumulated points.

“This is unreasonable!”

Gaon shouted at Magical Gear, feeling deflated by the immediate response.

[That’s how heroes fight – in unreasonable situations.]

“AAAHH!”

Even though it’s just a simulation, does it have to go this far?

[Don’t be such a baby. This is all based on real-world evidence – families protest demanding compensation when hostages die~]

“Of course that makes me even angrier!”

With a roar of rage, Gaon unleashed a barrage of water bullets.

“I came to Korea to get away from this bullcrap!! SseupassiPPA!”

Accompanied by non-curses, Gaon swept away the surrounding monsters with A+ rank magical power-enhanced water bullets.

“Haa, haa.”

Her magical power suddenly drained, Gaon felt a slight dizziness. Watching the monsters dissipate into mist one by one, she let out a sigh of relief –

“…Shit.”

When monsters die, they leave behind cores that can’t be used but still have weight, like balls of stuff.

“……”

That core fell directly onto Xiakun’s member, which was being violated from below. Rising mechanically, Xiakun glared at Gaon with golden eyes.

“Why didn’t you rescue me properly? You should’ve been careful not to injure my penis! Hero Undine, I demand compensation! I’ll file an official complaint with the Hero Association!”

“GYAAAAAH!!”

Gaon lost all her points.

In the Death Dinass of the Blue Sky.

This game, designed to transform all the world’s evil into player difficulties, is filled with injustice and frustration.

For example, say you rescue a civilian hostage as a hero, but in the process damage a building.

Exactly one week later, a claim for damages arrives.

It’s natural to question why the hero, who wasn’t even the one destroying things but rather fighting monsters, is being held responsible, but the game world isn’t forgiving.

-Mother, did you hear? A hero sued the world for civilian damages!

-Geez, who is it? Some disrespectful hero bothering innocent civilians? Just because they have magic powers and awakened, they think they’re above everyone?

-Uh… The Anti-Monster Department deals with monster disturbances, not compensations for monster-caused damages. By “measures,” we mean…

“The unfair treatment of heroes. If you don’t like it, leave Korea. That’s why many ability users don’t become heroes in Korea… etc. This game world is filled with hatred towards heroes.”

Not just Sun Icheol’s Hell Joseon, but everywhere shares similar sentiments, though Korea particularly harbored deep resentment towards heroes and champions.

Following Sun Icheol’s guidance of placing all responsibility on individual heroes, they often became scapegoats.

“Isn’t it always the story where a firefighter scratches a car while responding to a fire, and the car owner sues the individual firefighter personally? Even though the car was parked in a no-parking zone.”

All these stories converge into the embodiment of evil within the game’s version of Sun Icheol’s Hell Joseon.

Therefore, most ability users try to join corporate hunter guilds. Or leave the country.

Still, there are those who remain like fools, working for the nation and its citizens. They are the protagonists of this game – the foolishly heroic types.

“Namely, the Magical Girl Miraculous QQQ!”

Stay strong, magical girls – heroines!

“…This isn’t going to work.”

Yuna sighed deeply while checking the battlefield through Magical Gear.

Pooook!

A monster reaching for Xianjiang, guarded by Yuna, was pierced by a blade coated with water magic and died.

“Sis, what should we do?”

Nuri continued swinging her sword while collecting monster cores. Though one monster managed to sneak attack from her blind spot-

Tuduuduudu!

Magical K-2 spat smoke from its barrel, turning the monster into Swiss cheese. Ha Yu-eun, switching from full-auto to single-shot for confirmation kills, collected the core while scanning the surroundings.

“Leader, what’s the plan?”

“…There’s nothing else we can do.”

Yuna tapped on Magical Gear, spreading out the airport map. Seeing the sea of red, green, and yellow dots all around, she made her decision.

“I’ll gather everyone to the center. Heroes, civilians, monsters, villains – everyone.”

As the field commander, Yuna broadcasted her new strategy to her team.

“Midgather.”
