2 – You can change it.
The hand holding the resignation letter in the envelope becomes tense, and cold sweat begins to flow from the back of my neck. He faced a living disaster standing before his eyes and felt instinctive fear.
“Oh, I remembered. “Lee Hyeon-woo, right?”
This is clearly a chapter that will not begin yet. There was still time before this incident began. Wasn’t that why he gave up and tried to run away before facing the future of becoming a crazy monster? But why is this ordeal coming?
Is this also fate? Is it really God’s will to follow the game’s story exactly? Then why did you possess him in the first place? Even if I continued to deny reality, nothing changed. In the end, the girl in front of him was a villain who could kill him in an instant, and he was in the same situation in the same place as in the game.
“-Why are you here at this hour? “What’s with the blood on your head?”
“Hmm. I don’t think it’s something I didn’t notice. “Your eyes are shaking with fear?”
Attempts to pretend not to know were also in vain. Is not being able to manage facial expressions holding you back in times like this? He swallowed dryly quietly.
“You’re that guy, right? “The idiot who fought ahead during the attack despite not having any skills.”
The worst villain girl who glared at him with blood pouring from her head, used to be his classmate, but has now revealed her true colors and will appear as the boss in the future.
“That’s strange, why is a guy like that in a place like this?”
Real name: Han Seong-ah. Villain name: Serpent. She scowled and glared at him, and he glared at her and began to roll his head.
If you keep glancing behind you, you’re probably being chased by the main character and the heroes who are teachers, just like in the game. But why are you wasting so much time here, and why are you smiling while raising your finger to his head with one hand?
“It just worked out.”
He must be a hostage. Or maybe she needs a tool to buy her time to escape-
“I think I was already thinking of dropping out. Would you like to hear my suggestion?”
-Or, she had a reason that even he, who knew the knowledge of the game, could not have expected.
“…What?”
Hyeonwoo was embarrassed. He couldn’t help but be embarrassed. What he was clutching in her hand was a letter of resignation, but it was still folded inside a white envelope, so she had no way of knowing.
But how can you recognize it and say something like that? Apparently it was only two hours ago that he decided to drop out. He filled out the resignation letter that he kept in a drawer and came out less than an hour later, so no one but himself could know. Nevertheless, the villain in front of him was aware of that fact.
“I knew you trained every day. But you didn’t get stronger, and you continued to train despite that, right?”
It was clear what this situation meant.
“But, you know what? You may not believe it, but even if you train so foolishly, you won’t become stronger. “I’ve already been through it.”
Her goal in the game was very simple. This is to attract those who are dissatisfied with her to the villain organization she belongs to. Of course, she couldn’t have done such a thing since she was caught and chased so quickly – but that wasn’t important right now. It’s important that the hidden villain knows about him.
Destiny? God’s will? It was nothing like that. He erased all the possibilities he had thought of and became frozen when he realized the shocking truth.
“So, I’m giving you a chance? “I know it with honor.”
Why are you here? That would be natural. I came here for that purpose in the first place. Originally, he wanted to recruit him as a companion, but now he came to see it as a possible means to escape and use it.
“Whoa.”
No matter what I did, I had to watch this scene? He smiled bitterly and sighed.
The situation has been understood. But that didn’t mean he could do anything. If he tries to escape from this place in the first place, five laser beams will be fired from the fingertips extended towards his head, killing him instantly. However, to obediently listen to her words-
“Don’t you want to become stronger?”
The lines from the original work, which will bring about his destruction, will be spoken exactly as they are.
He placed the other hand he was aiming at inside the cloak he was wearing, and took out a black mask.
“If I use this, I can become stronger? How is it? Would you like to try wearing it once?”
I already knew that the moment I put on that mask, the destruction that was planned would come. But there was no way to overcome this situation.
“…Why aren’t you using it?”
A warning sent to Hyunwoo, who still just stares frozen.
“You say I can become stronger if I use this? Wasn’t that what you wanted so much? You sucked too. “Other guys are getting stronger, but no matter how hard you try, instead of getting stronger, all you get in return is ridicule!”
It’s a mockery. There is no way those who have become worthy of the Hero Academy would laugh at them. Maybe it only seemed that way because the reason she became a villain was because of that ridicule.
Even though he knew that fact, he could not react in any way. Because if he utters these words, he will die the moment he utters these words. Because he still didn’t want to die, and he was still conflicted.
However.
“Think about it carefully! “The moment you wear this, you will have great power and at the same time, you can take revenge on those who laughed at you!”
“Hyeonwoo! “Don’t listen!”
It might have been the best choice for him to say those words and face death.
“…Lee Hyun-woo? “Why are you here!”
“Student Hyunwoo?!”
The cry of his childhood friend, Choi Ji-hyeon, who was rushing towards her as if he was chasing her. And even the group of protagonists running behind them. In a situation where the story unfolds exactly as seen in the game, he is looking down at the black mask that keeps coming at him.
“Ha.”
I guess it doesn’t matter anyway. It had already happened, and he was caught up in it. With that, his fate was already over. I was so sick of the fact that all of this was real. That’s why he burst out laughing and just stared at the villain in front of her.
“I said the same thing! Are you saying I understand how you feel? Are you also annoyed by this unfair world? The reality is that no matter how hard he struggles, he cannot catch up with the genius! Just like you’ll never catch up to that damned childhood friend of yours!”
The serpent took one look at them and quickly shouted. If it took longer, she would be out as well, so of course she had no choice but to hurry.
“So – write it quickly!”
That is not persuasion, but intimidation. The light on my fingers begins to grow bigger and bigger, as if it would pierce my body at any moment. If you don’t wear a mask, you will probably die with blood splattered on your face. Having already cleared the entire game, he knew that fact very well. Even compared to other guys, the villain in front of me had the worst of the worst humanity.
“Okay. “It’s such an unfair world.”
Well. Anyway, who cares? No matter what happens, it will be a dead life. He sighed as he thought about that, and she picked up her held out mask.
“…Ha. hahahaha. hahahahaha!”
“…Hyeonwoo?”
The Serpent smiles brightly when he picks up the mask. On the other hand, from far away, Ji-hyeon had dew in her eyes, as if she was about to cry at any moment. He smiled bitterly as he looked at the two women showing completely conflicting emotions.
“Right? Right? “After all, we communicate well!”
“…No, right? No?! Yes?!”
The voice of a villain whose tension rises because things are going his way, and the cry of a hero uttered in a trembling voice as he thinks of an ominous future.
“If it were fair-“
If you do this, you die, if you do that, you die. The only difference is how you die.
“I probably already had the power to just cut your head off.”
“-Huh?”
A mask that is split in half, or more accurately, ‘cut’.
“If you wear a mask like this, give it to me. Phew…”
He laughed. He couldn’t help but laugh. Has the fact that death is approaching finally driven me crazy? It wasn’t like that. Because the mask was not completely removed until the very end, he was so resentful of his own meager abilities that he could only laugh.
“You don’t think I know that if I wear a mask, I turn into a monster?”
No matter how strong you are, you cannot avoid turning into a monster. Even more so if that monster is the mid-boss of the second chapter of this game, and the main characters face a burning end with their limbs pulverized and no ashes or traces left behind.
“-Do you want to die?”
If he dies here anyway, there is no one in the real world who will look for him. Rather, if he dies here, wouldn’t his childhood friend running from far away remember his existence?
“Either kill me.”
The girl who supported him as he worked hard even though he was a failing student, and even though she got angry when he finally locked himself in his room in despair, she did not give up. A friend who was shy and treated everyone with a blank expression, but always approached him with a smile.
“Lee Hyeon-woo-!”
Has he become attached to the guy who is still rushing towards him, using his freeze, and who was the only one who cared about him, including in reality and here?
“Is it because of that b*tch?”
“Okay. “No matter what happens, if you’re going to die, wouldn’t it be better to take your friend’s side?”
A damn life where you can never escape being an extra and have to end your life as a mid-boss. He thought it was fate – but at the end, he managed to twist the original. With that fact, he tried to twist the future one last time.
There is no time to take out the self-defense dagger that was stored in the chest. However, his ability was still usable, so it was enough.
“-You pink haired whore.”
He stretched out his hand, and the Serpent used his ability.
Feeling the laser emitted from her fingertips in what seemed like slow motion, he finally succeeded in bringing the envelope she was holding to her wrist.

“This bastard…!”
Pain felt along with the bursting light. But he didn’t stop and used his abilities –
Wow!
“aaagh?!”
He cut her wrist exactly where her artery was, and succeeded in deflecting the laser’s trajectory.
Just-
“…Cough.”
Because the fingertips were aimed at close range, it was inevitable that his chest and hands would have been pierced.
“No-!”
The screams of his childhood friend heard through blurred vision. Explosive noises, as if the battle had just begun –
He literally lost his mind.
