I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

They say that when a person experiences something too shocking, his or her head would be paralyzed in an instant.

Now, that's exactly what the A-class villain Monkey Spanner was like.

As much as he has lived, he has fought numerous awakenings.

He has never met an S-class hero, but he still fought with A-class a few times.

And he could easily escape from them.

No matter how powerful the opponent was, since Monkey Spanner always moved with the majority, it was not easy to kill him, even for the heroes.

Particularly, except for some exceptions, they were only overpowering the villains without shooting them, so it was rather easy to get out.

In other words, Monkey Spanner may have been defeated.

But he has never been through anything like this.

He has never.

His underlings.

They are practically colleagues who spent time with him in the same difficulty.

When he asked them to go to Mexico, everyone followed him.

Of course, he lost quite a lot of people there, but that's why the remaining are the best ones.

They are.

Right now, in just a moment.

Monkey Spanner looked around him.

The hostages certainly were sitting and his underlings were standing and pointing guns at them.

There was no one standing.

What happened?

He jumped down to crush that masked man.

The moment he jumped down, he wasn't there anymore.

And before he knew it, the guy was sitting on the chair where he sat in the first place.

He flicked his fingers like he was bored.

Instantly.

The gun his men were holding flew up.

Before anyone comes to their senses.

At the same time

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.

Dozens of guns fired at once.

The hostages scream.

Blood splattered all over the place.

No one from his underlings…

…stood there anymore.

The hostages were panicked by the sudden shooting and the terrorists who collapsed in their direction.

Monkey Spanner who saw it happening at the moment…

…also got panicked.

There were so many of them..

All of them.

They’re all dead in vain like this?

This is… real?

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

Only when he heard the screaming hostages did he realize that it was reality.

With his fleeting eyes, he blankly stood there and stared at his underlings’ bodies as if he was trying to deny the reality.

He slowly turned his head and looked behind him.

On a mountain of chairs, there the guy sat.

Even though he cannot see the guy’s expression after the mask, he can feel his energy somehow.

The guy had killed his men, who had been with him for many years, and that man was picking his ears with his hands.

As if he was just removing some bothersome fly.

Effortlessly, he was just showing an annoyed attitude.

Monkey Spanner finally realized.

Oh, that man wasn't a hero.

He killed people like killing insects.

That guy, he was a villain. Just like himself.

And even when his head stiffened in shock, he came up with something.

That ability that the man used to move behind his back in an instant was teleportation.

And the ability to manipulate and exterminate his men's guns was telekinesis.

Only one villain in Korea has both teleportation and telekinesis.

The villain of the week who caused three major terrorist attacks.

Egostic. Yeah, the guy with that name.

Frankly, Monkey Spanner didn't care much about Egostic.

But he didn't like the fact that some guy with a funny name kept causing something at the time of his terrorist activities and stealing the attention of the public.

He was a little interested when he found out that the guy was a double-powered rarity.

But he cut off his attention as the Association said that his telekinesis and teleportation skills looked pretty weak.

He has heard rumors that the guy had killed three villains, but… it’s none of his business, right? There’s no way he would be killed by such a weakling.

And all that matters now.

He felt his body tremble slightly.

That damn association, that association which he wouldn't feel good enough even if he burnt them alive.

How is that supposed to be a weak telekinesis?

He’s weak but he can control things of that many people at once?

And why is this guy in Busan?

Then for a moment, a thought crossed his mind.

So far, that guy has been killing other villains. He hunted them down.

For no reason.

What if he became the target this time?

What if the guy was after him from the beginning?

What if the guy knew he was going to cause terrorism today?

He became horrified.

That guy is hiding his powers.

He doesn't know why the guy is wearing that funny yellow mask, not the usual one.

He’s in danger.

He doesn’t know what else the guy is hiding.

Monkey Spanner sensed something by his instinct.

Perhaps, this is the biggest crisis of his life.

He can get new underlings as many as he wants as long as he’s alive.

Firstly, he has to crush that guy and survive.

So when he’s trying to put his brain to work.

Above his sparkling head came the disappointed voice of that Egostic guy.

"Is this… all you got?"

He sounded so arrogant as if it was boring to him.

As Monkey Spanner heard him, he felt a drop of sweat running behind his neck.

Egostic.

What the hell is he thinking behind that mask?

***

Hmm.

I looked at the horrors I caused.

The armed robbers, who stood in between the hostages, were lying in blood. And the hostages were screaming.

Haha, what a mess.

Watching the panicked hostages screaming and shivering at the sudden situation, I smiled helplessly behind the mask.

In the distance, I can also see shiny silver hair. Is it Seo-eun? I squinted my eyes and tried to look, she seemed to be watching me while standing next to Soobin without getting scared. Okay. That’s a relief, too.

Taking advantage of the telekinesis that I’ve been using so far, I’ve killed all those miscellaneous soldiers at once.

Holding up their guns and BANG! It was easy for someone as weak as me to shoot. Even if the guns are heavy, they aren’t that heavy to me.

Well… But they were pretty heavy.

And I even manipulated dozens of them at once? I think it was almost a hundred. How did I do that?

Even though I did it, I was also surprised at myself. Maybe I have a hidden power that I didn't even know? Turns out I'm also improving like Stardus

Am I the main character, too? Is the [Egostic!] comic going to be released?

Well, that’s what I wanted, but I don't think it’s going to happen.

Because… I cannot move at all right now.

It was good until I sat down on a chair, crossed my legs, and flicked my fingers.

It's like I'm a transcendent. Was this how Thanos felt when he gathered all the stones?

But the important thing was after that.

Everything went well as I flew up their guns and shot them perfectly.

But unlike other powerful men, my telekinesis is rubbish.

I used up all my energy by doing that one thing.

"…."

So right now, I cannot even lift a finger.

Gosh, this is a big deal.

Honestly, I think I can move again after a few more minutes, but now I'm on the battlefield. Every second is a battle that determines the outcome of a fight.

What if my body suddenly stiffens for a few minutes?

I mean, I know that my powers were crap, but I didn't know they were this bad.

"…"

Seriously, it was good to kill those common soldiers with just a flick of finger, but the problem is afterward.

How do I kill that Monkey Dance King or whatever he is?

Honestly, it’s true that the things that I’ve done until now were half because of my impulsiveness.

I mean, they woke up people and put guns to their heads. And I have to stay still? I have to teach them a lesson when I can, right?

I need to set an example so that they stop being ridiculous.

…But now, I'm all worn out.

What should I do?

But the good thing is that he seems to be very nervous.

Yeah, I think I'd also be a little scared if my men were killed with a flick in front of my eyes.

It's funny how a bald old man who has a mustache grew out of his nose got scared of me.

…Wait.

Maybe I can get out of this situation.

I'm the only one who knows that I'm losing my strength.

So, there is a possibility that this situation can be overcome with bravado and deception.

Yeah, I had a plan.

First of all, I will take care of those common soldiers who seem likely to cause unexpected behavior.

Then I will continue enduring while fighting with that Monkey Spanner. Until when? Until another hero comes.

Honestly, I didn't want to be in this situation. Monkey Spanner, he's never been involved with Stardus. But it doesn’t matter. I don't care as long as he doesn’t stand in the way of Stardus.

But since I pulled the trigger first, I only scared him a bit. I’m the type who wouldn’t let it slide easily. If I get hit once, you have to hit back ten times.

In that sense, I can say that killing his subordinates at once showed him a spicy taste.

Then now.

Let’s hang in there until I recover and a hero comes.

Since it's Busan, North Sea Ice Girl is probably going to come soon. Although, I’m a bit sad that Shadow Walker cannot come.

"Is this… all you got?"

I randomly spoke up. Let's go without honorifics.

The important thing is bluffing, dominating, and triggering the opponent to make them feel anxious and think that I’m better than them.

Yeah, that Monkey Spanner is trembling. I knew it.

Now, let's open up a hell of a trap.

"Did you say you’re Monkey Spanner? I’m going to ask you a question. If you answer this question, I'll tediously let it slide. You…”

When I start to let out some words.

THUMP

Suddenly, I heard something exploding from the door of that hotel.

What is this all of a sudden?

"Hi-yah!”

Then a woman with sky blue hair came in with a tremendous shout.

Oh, she's North Sea Ice Girl. She came really fast though?

But suddenly, at the same time, it's dark inside the lobby.

Suddenly the whole town was covered in shadow, and something rose from the floor.

That dark black hair.

….That's Shadow Walker. Wait, isn’t he in a coma? Why is he here?

Then, someone flew from somewhere.

Wait, an all-star battle all of sudden? What the?

The person with blonde hair flew from the exploded wall.

Stardus? No, why are you here, too?

"Monkey Spanner! Tell your men to put their guns down and surrender. You're surrounded!"

She suddenly appeared shouting loudly somewhere.

And what she could see was…

Monkey Spanner's men were already drowning in blood.

Monkey Spanner was standing in an awkward position.

And I was looking down at everyone with my legs crossed with a mask on my face on top of the chair tower.

…Gosh, fuck it. This has become a mess.
