A Fetish Girl with black hair who exudes decadent beauty.
‘Darkness Jumper,’ Yoon Mi-so.
She and I were staring at each other.
‘Darkness Jumper’ was the protagonist’s archenemy and originally a villain set to make a major move a year later.
Manipulating public opinion to frame the protagonist as a ‘garbage hero’ like Hwang Harin.
Even making the protagonist choose between the lives of his grandparents and a hundred citizens.
She truly was an evil villain, but ‘heroes with immortality’ couldn’t catch her easily.
In the end, she met her demise at the hands of the darkened heroine, Yongcheonhwa.
‘Even in the original, Laura dealt the final blow. How ironic.’
Yoon Mi-so pulled out a detonator from her pocket.
“Dark Knight, didn’t I say to come with the money?”
“…”
“Because of you, everyone here is going to die!”
She spoke softly, focusing her gaze on my hand.
“Overload.”
To reduce variables, she activated her magic rune.
Thanks to the Robe’s effect, the red tattoos glowing with magic were invisible to those around.
Yoon Mi-so was pressing the button on the detonator with her thumb.
I used telekinesis.
Like magnets of the same pole repelling each other, her finger and the button wouldn’t meet.
“Eh, eh? What is this…?”
I bent her fingers one by one in the opposite direction.
Crack.
Her index finger’s bone shattered and stuck to the back of her hand.
Crack. Crack.
Her middle finger, ring finger, and pinky followed suit, creating a grotesque sight where only the palm remained visible.
Yoon Mi-so lost her grip on the detonator.
Thumb.
Crack.
And I did the same to her other hand.
Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack.
“Kkkkkk…”
The delicate face of ‘Darkness Jumper’ twisted in pain.
“Does it hurt?”
In response to my question, Yoon Mi-so giggled.
“Hehehe. Who would’ve thought you had telekinesis! Unfortunately, it seems today’s event is a failure. Well, I’ll take my leave!”
Her indication of using teleportation didn’t haste ‘Dark Knight’ as he steadily approached her step by step.
‘Darkness Jumper’s’ face filled with perplexity.
“Eh, eh? Why isn’t my ability working?”
Thud. Thud.
The distance between us closed.
I drew out the Dragon Sword.
Laura hovered in the sky, invisible due to a transparency spell.
She had taken on Yoon Mi-so’s henchmen.
“Chain Lightning”
As Laura unleashed her magic, a massive lightning strike surged.
Dozens of lightning bolts pierced through the bodies of the hostage-takers with guns.
They fell to the ground, trembling, and soon turned black and died.
Seeing that, I thought to myself.
‘What a broken skill.’
I briefly felt envious, but then remembered I was doing pretty well myself with my own broken skills.
Anyway, now it was just me and Yoon Mi-so.
If I could even call it a battle; it was more like a one-sided beating.
“So that’s how it was!”
‘Darkness Jumper’ stepped back while exclaiming.
“Because of that, many villains couldn’t move against you! Hahaha! This is what a real hero looks like! Invalidating abilities? It’s like the heavens sent you down to be an absolute judge, Deus ex machina!”
With a cheerful smile, she spread her arms wide and offered herself to me.
“Haha! There’s no way I can win without abilities. But Dark Knight, it is an honor to die by your hand! So please, end me quickly.”
I closed the distance in an instant, grabbing her by the collar and lifting her up.
“Is this a game to you?”
Even though her feet weren’t touching the ground and she was thrashing about, Yoon Mi-so maintained her composed attitude.
“Game? No, I am a serious person about everything. Being defeated by the Judge is also a joy for Darkness Jumper.”
A hint of madness gleamed in her eyes.
“If there’s God, he must be watching me. He sent you to punish me!”
Yoon Mi-so’s face flushed red with excitement.
She trembled with pleasure.
“Madwoman.”
I grabbed her head and slammed it against the car window.
Clang.
Glass shattered and splintered.
Her once beautiful face, now grotesque with bruises and glass shards embedded in her skin.
I threw her to the ground.
“Hahaha! Hahaha!”
She was still laughing.
Despite the obvious pain, she showed no sign of caring.
“Damn.”
An enemy who desired death.
I just needed to grasp the jewel floating on Yoon Mi-so’s chest, and that would be that.
It was the rational choice.
But deep down, something felt suffocating, as if burdened by a stone.
I didn’t want to give her what she wanted.
[Shall I help?]
Laura’s voice echoed in my mind.
Now that I think about it, her spirit was still sealed in my Dragon Heart while I controlled her body remotely.
I nodded.
‘What are you planning to do with this woman?’
[Do you know how many people I’ve seen? Those who crave attention and derive happiness from their opponent’s pain? Countless. I’ve seen them all.]
Laura landed beside me and dispelled her invisibility.
Gradually, the figure of a girl in a robe appeared.
She placed her hand on Yoon Mi-so’s head.
“Illusion”
As Laura’s incantation ended, Yoon Mi-so started convulsing. Her back bent like a bow.
She soon closed her eyes and the convulsions ceased.
‘Did you kill her?’
[It’s an illusion magic. For your short-lived kinds, it would merely create a basic hallucination, but I can create an almost perfect world. She will live for hundreds of years in the world I created.]
‘Will she repent?’
Laura replied with calmness.
[My program is flawless. It will take centuries from her perspective, but for us, it will only take about a minute.]
Even with her eyes closed, ‘Darkness Jumper’ shed tears and occasionally smirked.
‘Mistress Laura, she’s still smiling?’
[She’s probably having a nice dream right now. Kukuku.]
Creating a perfect world…
…
I glanced at my own hands.
*
‘Darkness Jumper’ woke up in a strange space.
Nothing existed except the ground beneath her feet.
“Hey! Dark Knight, what is this?”
She tried to teleport back to her hideout.
Nothing happened.
It wasn’t the same as the power nullification used by Dark Knight.
It felt more like when she was a powerless person before her “awakening.”
She was stripped of all her powers entirely.
“Status screen.”
Nothing appeared.
“Have I… become powerless?”
Yoon Mi-so lay on the ground, calmly muttering to herself.
“Well, I’ll die soon anyway. It doesn’t matter.”
That way, seven days passed.
She sensed that something was wrong.
She hadn’t eaten or even had water, yet she hadn’t died.
She felt neither thirst nor hunger.
On that day, Yoon Mi-so attempted suicide.
She tried to rip her arteries open with her fingernails, enduring the pain and gritting her teeth.
Her attempt at self-harm quickly became useless.
Her skin healed instantly as it tore.
“Ah. This kind of neglect play is not good, Dark Knight.”
There was no response.
Nothing.
Just silence. Stillness.
Yoon Mi-so started exercising.
She could only do bodyweight exercises like push-ups and crunches, but it was a way to pass the time, which was nice.
That way, thirty days passed.
“X damn it! Shit!”
She stopped exercising.
No matter how much she exercised, her muscles didn’t grow.
There was no sense of accomplishment, nothing changed.
Exercise was meaningless.
“Shit. Let me out! Please, kill me quickly! Dark Knight!”
For someone inherently craving attention, this insidious solitude and disinterest was a tormenting hell more unbearable than to others.
She craved attention.
She wanted someone to torment.
A year passed.
Yoon Mi-so started seeing things.
The people ‘Darkness Jumper’ had killed as a villain.
They were threatening and trying to harm her.
But they had no substantial form.
They couldn’t kill her.
They were meaningless.
Ten years passed.
Every day, she would kneel down and pray.
She cried profusely, regretting her past self.
“Kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me, kill me.”
“I’ve sinned, I’ve erred, I’ll accept any punishment. Please, get me out of here.”
Nothing happened.
Her penitence was meaningless.
A hundred years passed.
Yoon Mi-so had given up on everything and spent her days lying down.
She started forgetting who she was and what she used to do.
Then a bright light enveloped her.
“Please wake up.”
A refined voice reached her ears.
Yoon Mi-so opened her eyes.
An unfamiliar ceiling greeted her.
“Wha… Wha… What?”
After a hundred years without anyone to talk to, her speech was impaired.
The one who woke her was a nun in a white habit.
Sister Aileen, as recognized by Laurakis, was the most selfless person.
“I am Sister Aileen. You’re in the church of our creed. I found you collapsed at the outskirts and brought you here.”
Yoon Mi-so embraced the nun and wept.
Having things to look at and someone to talk to was a tremendous blessing.
“Th.. Thank you…”
Sister Aileen carefully cared for Yoon Mi-so, who was practically a half-invalid.
Whenever Yoon Mi-so’s sadistic tendencies manifested towards Aileen, she simply accepted them.
Thanks to Aileen’s universal love, Yoon Mi-so gradually transformed her character and became more human.
Over time, Yoon Mi-so fell in love with Aileen, a romantic love, not just a friendship.
Then one day, the Demon King Army invaded the world.
Naturally, as a saint, Aileen was recruited into the party to defeat the Demon King, and Yoon Mi-so became restless.
She couldn’t live without Aileen anymore.
Yoon Mi-so began training.
She trained in swordsmanship, magic, and everything known in the world as a force.
Surprisingly, she had an outrageous talent for both swordsmanship and magic.
It was a literal growth cheat!
Based on her talents, she grew rapidly.
Before long, she was chosen as a hero.
“Aileen, we can fight together!”
“You’ve given me strength, Miso.”
Aileen smiled gently.
Yoon Mi-so’s hero party overpowered the Demon King’s army.
On their journey, Yoon Mi-so and Aileen developed their romantic bond.
“It’s inappropriate for two women to have such a relationship.”
“Aileen, you must remain a pure saint, right?”
“Yes.”
“If so, you can never marry a man. Let’s live together.”
Aileen’s face turned red.
Effectively, they became lovers.
Her fellow party members weren’t very pleased.
“Seems both the hero and the saint are going wild.”
“Did they come here to date?”
“Did the Lord even allow for homosexuality…?”
Then, the hero party encountered and defeated Garde, the right-hand of the Demon King.
In their dying moments, ‘Garde’ cursed the heroes.
It was a petrification curse.
Yoon Mi-so was turned to stone, unable to move.
At first, everyone tried to lift the petrification curse.
But no matter what means they tried, it didn’t work.
About a week later, the party’s only remaining woman, Aileen, started to be harassed by the low-quality members.
At first, it was light teasing, but it soon escalated into unspeakable atrocities.
Yoon Mi-so, now petrified, could only watch.
As Aileen was thoroughly defiled, Yoon Mi-so wept blood in her soul.
Around the seventh day, Yoon Mi-so’s petrification began to lift.
Aileen was already severely worn out both physically and mentally.
The moment Yoon Mi-so was fully released from the petrification, there was only one thought in her mind.
“Rescue Aileen and kill all those bastards.”
At that moment, Borask, the left-hand of the Demon King, appeared.
Borask cast a vision spell on Yoon Mi-so and added an unnecessary explanation.
“I will banish you from this world for seven days. In seven days, our Demon King will be fully resurrected, so expect greatness upon your return.”
By the time Yoon Mi-so opened her eyes again, the sky was darkening.
Her head throbbed, and her face felt like it was being pricked by needles.
She was perplexed why her superhuman body was feeling pain.
Looking around, she found herself in an unfamiliar place.
Asphalt roads and cars.
People dressed in black robes.
“Hmm…? This seems familiar somehow…”
Yoon Mi-so felt like she was missing something important.
“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I need to save Aileen. And I have seven days to devise a countermeasure against the Demon King… Aa! What suffering is Aileen enduring at this very moment…”
