Chapter 6 - Game

During the day, I lay on my bed, lazing around because I was tired.

A few moments later, my bedroom door was slammed open.

"Oppa! Wake up! You have to commit a crime now!"

That came from the mouth of a black-haired woman, Kim Gae-in.

It's been a week since she joined, so I thought she'd adapt quickly, but isn't this too fast?

"Oh come on... give me five more minutes, I'm so tired right now,"

I said to Kim Gae-in weakly.

Suddenly, I felt a hand grab my left arm.

"Come on, hurry up!!"

Ugh... I knew she was an enthusiastic person, but isn't this too much?

She tugged on my arm, forcing me to get up from my comfortable bed.

In the webtoon, Kim Gae-in is actually one of the villains who managed to overwhelm Lightnova with her power. With her untouchable tornado, Kim Gae-in could have been invincible.

However, fate had other plans, and Kim Gae-in was forced to die during the battle with Lightnova.

How did Lightnova defeat her? Simply put, with confidence.

Her most fatal weakness was when Kim Gae-in used her untouchable tornado.

Initially, when I read this part, I thought the author was crazy for creating such a powerful character with such a ridiculous weakness.

with that, Kim Gae-in pulled me into the living room, where food had been prepared by Lee Donghyun.

"Before you take action, you have to eat first! Come on, finish your food, Oppa!"

"Ugh..."

Kim Gae-in kept urging me.

I then sat on the sofa, where Lee Mira was also eating while watching TV.

I then took a bite. Lee Donghyun's cooking was truly the best.

While eating, I also watched TV, just like Lee Mira.

As I ate while watching TV, I suddenly thought about bringing Kim Gae-in along for a ride.

I swallowed the food in my mouth so I could speak.

"Gae-in, do you want to come with me? Let's go on a crime spree together?"

"Of course I do, Oppa!"

Kim Gae-in replied enthusiastically, her eyes shining brightly as if she were really looking forward to this.

This way, I might be able to help Lightnova grow.

"Okay then... wait..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Oppa?"

I was confused for a moment. There was no way I was going to let Kim Gae-in go on a ride with me with her real name and casual clothes.

I had to find her a suitable nickname.

"Wind, huh... hmm... Windra!"

"Hmm? Windra?"

Kim Gae-in asked in a confused tone.

"That's your nickname. It would be crazy if we acted using our real names."

"Ah... that's right."

"Windra... that's pretty good..."

Kim Gae-in said quietly.

*In a small tailoring shop*

I took Kim Gae-in with me to a remote tailoring shop in the slums.

"Ma'am... can you sew her clothes?"

I asked the tailor.

"Are you a Villain?"

"Yes."

"Then okay."

Why did she say that? It's because she tailors clothes specifically for Villains. She doesn't accept any other customers, and many Villains come to her for sewing.

Although she looks like a housewife, she is actually a retired A-rank Villain.

The woman began measuring Kim Gae-in's body with a measuring tool.

"Wow... your wife's body is so slender, you seem very lucky."

Hearing that, I was immediately shocked. Wife? Kim Gae-in isn't my wife!!

"U-uh... no, she's not my wife... she's just... my colleague."

I then glanced at Kim Gae-in's face, hoping she would help me in this situation.

But when I saw her face, I immediately understood: she couldn't help me at all.

Her face was as red as a tomato, and she remained silent, blushing.

She seemed very embarrassed to speak.

"Is that so? But why doesn't she deny it at all?"

The woman said again. She was telling the truth. If Kim Gae-in were my wife, she wouldn't deny it at all, but in fact, she wasn't my wife.

"Is that true? Young lady?"

"W-what!? O-oh... yes... I'm just his colleague..."

Kim Gae-in said in an awkward and embarrassed tone, this didn't sound like the Kim Gae-in in the webtoon.

A few minutes later.

"Okay, you guys can come back tomorrow. I'll work on it all night."

"Okay then, we'll go."

Kim Gae-in and I then went back to our house.

I didn't expect Kim Gae-in to be embarrassed by just a little teasing from that women. I found it funny seeing her expression like that, her face was so cute and beautiful.

However, I can't blame the people in the webtoon who are fighting over Kim Gae-in.

I then glanced at Kim Gae-in.

Our eyes met, but for some reason, she immediately looked away, her ears turning red.

A few moments later,

We arrived home.

I, being lazy by nature, immediately lay down on the sofa.

"Big bro, how can I be like you?"

asked Lee Mira, who suddenly approached me.

It was actually a bit awkward to say this because in the webtoon, Lee Mira was no longer there.

"Hmm... study hard."

"Study? Will that make me like you?"

"Yup."

"Then okay!"

Luckily, this awkward conversation ended quickly, and luckily, Lee Mira is still 13.

Otherwise, I'll be in trouble.

*At the Korean branch of the Hero Association*

Ji-hye was seen finishing some paperwork.

The paperwork was about Indigo.

"Huh... this is pretty tiring, isn't it?"

Ji-hye muttered to herself as she stretched.

Lightnova, or Ji-hye, in the webtoon, is a young girl who survived an S-rank Villain attack at Seoul Airport. She and her older brother ran from the vicious attack, but ultimately, Ji-hye's older brother, Kim Min-hoo, succumbed to the rubble of the destroyed airport building.

This left Ji-hye incredibly frustrated, angry, and awakened to her light powers. To this day, she continues to search for the Villain who destroyed the airport.

Every time Ji-hye remembers that moment, her emotions become uncontrollable, leading to tears.

And now, I, Yoo Jin-hoo, also known as Indigo Reign, will hunt down the Villain who destroyed the airport.

*in an abandoned building in a slum*

Of course, I knew who the perpetrator of the airport destruction was, because I'd read the webtoon over and over again.

His name was Barcher, an S-rank villain with telekinetic powers.

For some reason, I felt confident facing him. Maybe it was because I was more overpowered than him?

I stood at the entrance of the abandoned building, wearing a hat, mask, suit, and black cloak.

I walked in.

As I reached the center of the building, I saw Barcher exercising.

He then stopped his workout and looked at me.

His instincts were truly extraordinary, as expected of an S-rank villain.

"Who are you?"

"Nice to meet you. My name is Indigo Reign, an S-rank villain."

"Indigo... you're the rookie who's been on the rise lately, aren't you?"

"Exactly."

So arrogant, treating himself like a senior like that.

"Then, what do you want from me? You even interrupted my workout."

"I'll cut this short to make it quicker."

"There's someone who wants you dead, and they hired me to kill you."

"Huh... hiring a rookie to kill me, what a fool!"

He keeps calling me a rookie, looks like I have to take this bastard seriously.

A few moments later.

Well... I won.

I saw Barcher fall to his knees.

"U-ugh... you... how do you know my weakness? Even those bastards of the Hero Association... never knew what my weakness was."

"Of course I know... it's because I'm not from this world."

"W-what?"

Oops... I let it slip.

Well... it's okay, he's going to die anyway.

"Then goodbye."

"Wait, no-"

With my strength, I crushed his head, his blood staining my shirt.

"Your blood got on my clothes, you bastard."

I wiped my clothes that were stained with his blood.

I walked towards the exit when I suddenly heard the sound of breathing.

Although the sound was very faint, I have sensitive ears.

I glanced back. It couldn't be Barcher, could it?

'Well... maybe it was just a hunch.'

I then walked towards the exit.

*on the other side*

a red-haired woman was hiding behind a wall, covering her mouth.

She had been watching the fight from the beginning.

My name is Seo Jin.

I am a journalist, always monitoring Villains and disseminating information about them to the public.

Initially, I intended to monitor an S-rank Villain, Barcher, the one who destroyed the airport 10 years ago.

I walked to an abandoned building in the slums. I knew Barcher was there because I had been following him.

While I was gathering information on Barcher, a villain wearing a suit, mask, hat, and black cloak approached.

He was Indigo Reign, a rising S-rank villain.

"Who are you?"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Indigo Reign, an S-rank villain."

"Indigo... you're the rookie who's been on the rise lately, aren't you?"

"Exactly."

I continued to monitor their conversation, my heart racing.

"So, what do you want from me? You're interrupting my workout."

"I'll cut this short."

"There's someone who wants you dead, and they hired me to kill you."

"Huh... hiring a rookie to kill me, what a fool!"

Indigo came here to kill Barcher? I thought they were working together, and... hired? who hired him?

Barcher began attacking Indigo with his telekinetic attack, but Indigo easily dodged it.

I continued to watch their battle without blinking.

Indigo... it was like he was dancing.

Fast, precise, accurate.

As for Barcher, he seemed to have fallen into Indigo's game.

A few minutes later.

Indigo won.

Indigo's power truly defies logic.

I could see Indigo continuously attacking Barcher's left side. Could it be...

"U-ugh... you... how do you know my weakness? Even those bastards from the Hero Association... never knew what my weakness was."

"Of course I know... it's because I'm not from this world."

"W-what?"

Hearing this, I was shocked.

It's no wonder Indigo is this strong. It turns out he's an anomaly from another world.

But... how did he get here?

I saw Indigo crush Barcher's head with ease.

Indigo was seen wiping his blood-stained clothes.

He then walked towards the exit.

My breathing was so fast, I accidentally took a deep breath.

Suddenly, Indigo turned around.

I hid behind the wall.

My heart was pounding. If he came, there was a 90% chance I would die. That's because I already knew his secret.

I heard footsteps receding.

I glanced over, and Indigo was gone.

Phew... this was truly terrifying.

Today, I might be lucky, but not on other days.

I'm still curious about Indigo's secret, who came from another world.

I have to find out about this.

*on Indigo's side*

Ugh... my ears are itching.

Is someone talking about me behind my back?
