Chapter 512

〈 Chapter 512 〉 IF Route, Bad Ending #091

The IF Route, Bad Ending is unrelated to the main story.

Viewer discretion is advised as some may find it uncomfortable. Proceeding to the next chapter is perfectly fine.

Thinking ‘just me’ is something every human does at times, even heroes are no exception. Lee Seung-hyeong decided to set aside his hero’s mission for a moment to save the one he loved.

“Kyaak?!”

A gorilla-like monster approached Cheon Ga-eul, swinging something grotesque. Seung-hyeong clenched his fists and struck the beast’s back.

“Haaah!”

The giant bear’s fist pierced through the monster’s back. The floor was splattered with the creature’s fluids and blood, while Seung-hyeong tore out its heart and burned it.

Kyaack….

The monster fell forward. Seung-hyeong embraced a terrified Cheon Ga-eul, burning away the filth.

“Se- Seung-hyeong!”

“Explanations later!”

They had to escape quickly before another monster attacked. Seung-hyeong carried Cheon Ga-eul, releasing magic power as they fled down from Gwanak Mountain.

Surely someone else will close the Dimensional Gate for me.

And indeed, his prediction came true.

Kwa——ang!

A pillar of blue flame shot up from the Dimensional Gate. Even kilometers away, the scorching heat brushed against their skin.

‘So, there are others who can close the gate besides me.’

Seung-hyeong justified his actions to himself as he led Cheon Ga-eul into hiding underground.

***

That night.

“Seung-hyeong, let’s go back. Okay?”

Cheon Ga-eul sat anxiously on a subway platform bench, urging Seung-hyeong.

“The inspectors will understand. So, let’s just go back to New Seoul—”

“No. I can’t return now.”

Seung-hyeong bitterly smiled while tidying Ga-eul’s messy hair.

“My life as a hero ended when I chose to abandon my duty to save you… Look.”

Seung-hyeong pulled out his smartwatch showing public opinion in New Seoul. Praises poured in for the new S-Rank Special Ability user—”Phoenix Lady”—who single-handedly suppressed the Dimensional Gate. Meanwhile, criticisms and insults flooded about “Fire Bear” Lee Seung-hyeong who abandoned the gate to save one woman.

Are you serious? He didn’t even go to stop the Dimensional Gate just to save one girl?

I never thought Lee Seung-hyeong would do that… I’m disappointed. Lost all respect for him.

They say if the gate had closed ten seconds later, it would’ve gone berserk. Thanks to Lee Seung-hyeong, South Korea almost turned into wasteland lol.

I went to the academy with this guy. He used to promise the inspector, ‘I’ll definitely block the Dimensional Gate!’ What a joke lmao.

“……Did you see that?”

“But still! We have to—”

Seung-hyeong shook his head.

“I’ll escort you home as soon as it gets light.”

“What about you?”

“……I’ll stay here forever.”

By saving Ga-eul, Seung-hyeong became a refugee in Seoul. Though it was his choice, Ga-eul felt immense guilt for being the cause.

“……Why do you care so much about me?”

She noticed but wanted to ask anyway. Why did this man abandon glory and wealth, plunging himself into ruin just to save her?

“Uh, ahem.”

Seung-hyeong blushed.

“It’s because I like Ga-eul—”

Puck.

“……Huh?”

A small dart stuck into Seung-hyeong’s neck. The magic-infused dart pierced through his skin and veins, turning the wound violet almost instantly.

Keeheek!

Laughter echoed from the darkness. It was the same monster that attacked Ga-eul in the parking lot, finally catching up to them.

“You little—!”

Seung-hyeong roared, throwing a fiery punch.

Keeheek?!

The monster couldn’t dodge the sudden burst of flames, its fur catching fire. It screamed and ran towards the underground road as Seung-hyeong collapsed onto his knees, gasping for breath.

“Huugh…!”

“Seung-hyeong!”

“Run! Quickly!”

Seung-hyeong urged Ga-eul with what remained of his sanity. She noticed the wound at the back of his neck.

“Wha—?!”

His skin swelled like a snakebite, veins turning purple. Seung-hyeong’s eyes began swirling with violet energy.

“Run, damn it!”

“How can we run here?!”

Ga-eul cried. The commotion already attracted more beast monsters, drawn by the scent of humans.

“Just run upstairs….”

Seung-hyeong pointed towards the ticket hall stairs and forced out his final words.

“Get away from me…!”

“What?! What kind of nonsense is that?!”

Ga-eul grabbed and shook Seung-hyeong’s slumped shoulders.

“You said you’d save me… How am I supposed to survive alone in the middle of Seoul?!”

To Ga-eul, there was no one else she could rely on. Their hideout beneath the platform, intended as a brief rest, turned out to be the worst decision.

“So please, snap out of it—”

“Grrr.”

Seung-hyeong growled, grinding his teeth. Ga-eul recoiled at the sight of his glowing violet eyes.

“What’s happening to you?!”

It was unprecedented. He looked like a demon species straight out of the Dimensional Gate, radiating terrifying magical power that made surrounding monsters flee in panic.

Get away from me.

“……!”

Only then did Ga-eul realize the meaning behind Seung-hyeong’s words. While he might’ve sensed his fate, non-powered Ga-eul hadn’t considered the possibility of a human turning into a monster.

Tatatak!

Still, Ga-eul rose and ran. Her bare feet peeled against the broken platform steps, but the most dangerous entity was Seung-hyeong.

And Seung-hyeong lost it completely.

“Raaaah!”

Just like the monster attacking Ga-eul in the parking lot, Seung-hyeong leaped off the wall with animalistic movements.

Kwadak!

“Aaaah!”

Ga-eul barely reached the ticket hall and rolled on the floor screaming. Seung-hyeong’s elongated nails scratched the marble floor, shards embedding into Ga-eul’s calf.

“Ughh!”

Ga-eul crawled along the ground, swallowing her pain. Seung-hyeong’s appearance reminded her too much of the monstrous manager breaking through earlier.

“No, no, I don’t want this!”

‘Someone, please help me!’

But no one came to Ga-eul’s rescue. The man who saved her once was now approaching to harm her.

Thud.

“Ah… Please!”

Despair clouded Ga-eul’s face as she crawled toward the stairs. Just before climbing, a wall of violet flames erupted in front of her.

“Se- Seung-hyeong…!”

“Kukuku.”

Seung-hyeong was already insane. His entire body blazing, burning off his clothes, his exposed member swung wildly as he approached Ga-eul.

“Kukuku.”

Seung-hyeong climbed atop Ga-eul’s waist with a twisted grin. Ga-eul squinted and tried pushing him away, but froze at the sight of the flames right before her eyes.

“Kukuku.”

Seung-hyeong’s hand slipped inside Ga-eul’s clothing. The rough touch startled Ga-eul, who squeezed her eyes shut as Seung-hyeong surrounded his hands with magic, tearing her clothes apart.

Zzzik!

Her famous curves revealed as the clothes were torn apart. Ga-eul screamed through her tears.

“Stop!!”

“Why should I?”

Seung-hyeong licked his lips, rubbing Ga-eul’s nipple with his thumb.

“Crap, I’ve been wanting to see this for so long.”

“You….”

Ga-eul’s heart sank at the lust in his eyes. Tears blurred her vision, and betrayal saturated her voice.

“You didn’t actually like me…did you?”

“Yeah, I do like you. That’s why I’m doing this.”

Seung-hyeong grinned as his hand delved toward Ga-eul’s lower abdomen.

“I like you, so I want to take you.”

“You’re crazy! You’re out of your mind! Snap out of it!”

As Ga-eul cursed and resisted, Seung-hyeong pinned her down with magic.

“Nope. I’m just being honest. I simply want to do what I feel.”

Seung-hyeong’s hand touched Ga-eul’s pants. In his haste, instead of removing them, he burned them off, leaving her naked.

“Aaaaah!”

“Don’t be scared. Did you think I was just an A-Rank for nothing?”

With precise control, Seung-hyeong only burned Ga-eul’s clothes, revealing her long legs and untouched privates.

“Don’t do this… This is rape!”

“No, it’s consensual sex. Isn’t it natural between people who like each other? You like me, right?”

“No, you pervert!”

Though Ga-eul’s heart fluttered slightly at the attention from South Korea’s top bachelor, any affection vanished instantly upon realizing his intentions to harm and force himself on her.

“Ughh!”

Ga-eul had no strength left to fight. She sobbed, sensing her fate.

“Relax. I’ll make it pleasant for you.”

Seung-hyeong inserted his violet-veined member into Ga-eul.

“Ughh…!”

Pain surged. The intruder broke through the untouched gateway with brute force, laughing savagely.

“Haha, a national treasure. After rolling around in entertainment for 14 years, you’re still a virgin?”

“Shut up, you trash…!”

“You’ve been saving yourself for me, huh? Kukuku.”

Crunch.

“AAAAAH!!”

Seung-hyeong thrust without mercy, tearing the entrance and leaving tracks everywhere inside.

“Ugh, aaaah!”

No foreplay, no consideration. Ga-eul became merely a vessel for Seung-hyeong’s lust, enduring relentless pounding. There was no pleasure, only pain, humiliation, and despair.

“Why… Why am I doing this… Ughh!”

Tears blinded her.

“Hmm, crap, this feels amazing. Why didn’t I take it sooner?”

The sweet whispers of honeymoon love turned into vulgar grunts of desire.

“Hmm, what have you been eating, sis? You’re enormous. If you grow a bit more, you might hit 100 cm. Kukuku!”

Seung-hyeong squeezed and twisted Ga-eul’s breasts. The tearing sensation made Ga-eul bite her lips, tasting the metallic flavor of blood.

Seung-hyeong changed. Beyond villainy, he became a monster, planting seeds of lustful intent within her.

“Haha, ha….”

Ga-eul laughed bitterly. Her body stiffened from the coarse friction inside her.

“No… Stop!!”

“Kukuku.”

Seung-hyeong pushed his member in fully. The scrotum brushing against her buttocks resembled centipedes crawling across her groin. Ga-eul sobbed, writhing.

“Nooo!”

Gurgle, crunch, slurp!

“Kuuu.”

Seung-hyeong’s semen flowed into Ga-eul. The contaminated essence seeped into her vagina, lingering between folds.

“No… Someone, please help me….”

Seung-hyeong pulled out his member, savoring the post-orgasmic afterglow. Freed from magical restraint, Ga-eul clung to her last thread of consciousness, inching toward the stairs.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Seung-hyeong yanked Ga-eul by the ankle, dragging her body across the marble floor back to him.

“I want to go three more rounds, sis. Is that okay?”

“Ple- please stop. Stop it… Please!”

Ga-eul thrashed like a madwoman, begging on her knees, ready to bow if necessary.

“Tsk. We’re the drama’s lead couple. What else would happen at the ending?”

“No, no, please!”

“Spread your legs. Let’s catch up on 28 wasted years, hmm? Kukuku.”

Purple flames filled Ga-eul’s vision.

Screaming, pleading, praying to the gods brought no change.

‘Angel-sama… Please save me…!’

The angel of blue flames she saw in her hallucination grew faint. As the memory of blue flames faded into the present purple ones, Ga-eul’s last grip on sanity slipped away.

Plop plop plop.

The desolate subway ticket hall echoed with disgusting sounds of carnal acts.

***

“Phew! Feels great.”

Seung-hyeong stretched, rising with a sense of clarity akin to having relieved a decade-long burden.

“Where am I…?”

Blinking, he scanned the surroundings. Broken subway stairs greeted his gaze, and below lay Cheon Ga-eul, blood and semen trickling from her privates.

“Eh…?”

What’s going on? Am I seeing things?

Seung-hyeong trembled as he checked Ga-eul’s pulse. She lay unconscious.

“Wha- Who could’ve done this… Huhk!”

Memories flooded back. Seung-hyeong recoiled in horror, sitting hard on the floor.

“No, no way! I didn’t— Ugh.”

At the sight of mixed blood and semen flowing back from Ga-eul’s privates, Seung-hyeong gagged. Despite committing unspeakable acts to the woman he loved, he found her defiled state ‘disgusting’.

“Aaaah, AAAAH!!”

Seung-hyeong shook his head violently, fleeing into the underground passage. The barrier dissolved as he left, abandoning the naked and unconscious Ga-eul in the ticket hall.

***

“Brother. This woman looks dead.”

“Is she? Tsk. Such a waste. What a terrible person.”

The inspector mourned over the woman sprawled on the stairs, covering her with a white cloth.

“May you meet better people and live happily in your next life.”

“Inspector. There’s something down there.”

A maiden with turquoise hair descended the stairs. Yu Yeong-ho shook his head, shielding her from the sight.

“Just a common corpse in Seoul. Phoenix Lady, aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?”

“What do you mean? I haven’t even covered half of Seoul yet.”

Phoenix stretched, loosening up.

“Let’s hurry and find Cheon Ga-eul. …Wait.”

Phoenix rushed down the stairs, pulling away the cloth.

“……”

She knelt in despair.
