I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Chapter 362:

Chapter 362:

After I had negotiated with Celeste and gotten her cooperation, I've been back home, working on a number of things.

With Phase 4 looming large in front of me, but still some time away, I was thinking about things before then.

First, infiltrating Cathedral and taking over as the villain's representative.

Second, working with Lee Seola to stabilize Korea.

And thirdly…

Hmmm……was about Stardus.

Stardus, the protagonist of this world, beautiful, personable, and all-around nice finally reached her peak Phase 4, after rolling and rolling in the original, both as a character and in terms of perception.

‘That's exactly what happened…’

Yeah.

First, we need to understand the principles by which the powers of those with abilities become stronger.

Gods: the Sun God, the Moon God, and the Star God.

These three gods do not exist in this world. Like the last time I saw the Moon God, he exists in another dimension.

And the Sun God was currently trying to cross over to this world from another dimension to destroy this world.

In other words, the Sun God's body is moving closer and closer to our world.

Stardus' power, the ability to become stronger in the presence of someone with the power of the sun…Or, more precisely, the ability to grow stronger in proportion to how ‘close' the sun-powered one was.

And now that the body of the Sun God, composed of pure solar power, was close to our world Stardus' power suddenly went insane.

‘In the original…’

Stardus' growth was so explosive that she suddenly became the number one unofficial world hero. In fact, she's still roughly in the top 10, so it's no surprise.

In other words, Phase 4 is all about Stardus.

Cathedral tries to destroy the world, and Stardus fights back in an epic battle.

Of course, I had no intention of letting Stardus roll like she did in the original. Why else would I have entered Cathedral?

So my idea was to enter Cathedral from the shadows and quietly help Stardus without her noticing…

Well…Things…changed…?

‘I love you, Egostic.’

‘Don't leave me now, never leave me again.’

"Hmmm, hmmm. Hmmm, hmmm…"

I can still see her teary blue eyes as if they were right in front of me, her small breath from earlier. I swallowed, remembering the sparkling night sky that stretched out behind us.

…To be honest, it still feels like a dream.

Especially since we haven't had any contact since then.

Except…

[Stardus defeats another S-class villain with aplomb today! Man, she's got a big smile on her face!]

…seeing her on the screen, not looking as tired as before, but smiling brightly as she defeated the villains…I can only think that something must have happened.

Honestly. I still couldn't believe it.

…That Stardus had a crush on me. Did she ever have a crush on me? …No, I think she did, and she pushed me away because she thought I didn't notice or that I was too pretty.

Of course, I had my reasons. I've spent my entire life in this world trying to be perceived as the bad guy by Stardus, and here it is. A complete botched plan. Of course I wanted to deny it.

As much as I did, it was actually right to reject her confession right then and there. To make the plan perfect…I had Egostream.

I just…

"….."

There was desperation in the look she gave me that day.

A desperation that made me realize in my gut that if I rejected her confession, something worse would happen.

…And, to be honest.

"Hmmm…"

I liked Stardus, too…I liked her a lot, probably more than she realizes. I just gritted my teeth and kept my personal feelings to myself because it was work. Her happiness was my goal in this life in the first place. It was my motivation for falling into this world…

‘…..'

That day.

‘Are you okay…?’

That meeting, right after I fell into this world.

I had already decided then.

This life, I would use it for her, who shone so brightly before me.

"Hmmm…"

Anyway…we confirmed each other's hearts, but the question was after that.

‘What the hell would a hero and a villain do together?’

In terms of romance, it's the ultimate secret love affair.

The moment we're discovered, she and I are both dead. She to the Association, me to my Egostream coworkers…

Of course, we're not even in contact with each other right now…

"….."

…Hah.

That's a lot of trouble.

…That's when I was sleepless, worrying about this and that.

-Ting Ling

‘…Who is it at this early hour?’

The sun has already set, and the moon is nowhere to be seen.

Only starlight filled the sky.

As I sat at my desk, unable to sleep, I turned on my cell phone, wondering who it was.

And there it was…

>[…Sleep?]

…unfamiliar.

It was definitely from that day, the day I had secretly saved in my contacts.

From: [?]

"…Hmph."

From her.

Stardus, Haru had a message for me.

I gasped for a moment.

[No shit where the hell is Egostic???]

(A picture of Egostic floating in the sky in front of Stardus)

What the hell?

Where are you two??? What are you doing here??????

[It’s been almost half a year since he appeared and nothing has come out!!!]

=[Comment]=

[Everyone was excited at the time… but then they just disappeared]

[First of all, he’s alive. Isn’t it fortunate just knowing that?]

[I heard that was a masterpiece]

?[What a masterpiece that is]

?[Or it's a major work, according to meteor experts]

?[It seems like it was a master plan, otherwise all terrestrial broadcasters would have reported it]

?[Hmm… But why do all the black and white radish join the cafe recently? It’s really strange, isn’t it?]

[Isn't it some kind of part-time job?]

[Egostic is alive and well, don't worry ^^].

?[?]

[@newday313 He's been a loyal member of the cafe for quite a while… but he's finally gone crazy after waiting for so long. That's crazy]

[Egostic!!! Where did you go!!!@!! I'm dying~~~]

"Hmph."

Night.

Stardus, Shin Haru lay in bed, looking at her phone. Shin Haru snorted and smiled to himself.

She'd been looking for information on the Egostic Fancafe.

…And now, ever since she found out that he lived, she'd been watching the fan cafe out of habit.

The difference, of course, was that…Now, she's much more relaxed. She could look down and smile at the people wondering about the whereabouts of Egostic.

As she continued to stare at the post with that smile on her face, a sudden thought struck her and she sighed.

"…Ha."

…Come to think of it, she hadn't seen him since the last time they met.

‘I want to be with him,’ Stardus thought, running a hand through her blond hair, her eyes slightly dazed.

I want to be with him. I want to know what he likes, what he doesn't like, what he usually does. I want to know everything, I want to be with him.

But…

Right now, I can't even get in touch with him properly, because of the damn Egostream.

"….."

…Should I just blow it all up?

Stardus thought with cold eyes, then snapped out of it, shaking her head and blushing.

…That was still a problem. It's hard when the citizens don't trust you. Dating a villain as a hero, I'm sure the world will criticize me…

But…

‘…But still.

Even if I can't meet him, I'd like to at least try to contact him…

Late at night, she lay on her bed in her pajamas, clutching her smartphone as she continued to think.

Before she knew it, it was dawn.

With her head still slightly fuzzy from sleep, she realized something.

"…Wait."

Come to think of it, it's dawn.

Da-in should be alone at dawn.

…In that case, shouldn't I contact him?

With that thought process in mind, she entered the message window with a bit of trepidation.

She got his phone number from their last meeting.

She entered the message window of the contact, and suddenly she was at a loss as to what to send.

After some deliberation, she tapped her finger.

[What are you doing?]

And then she thought.

‘…Come to think of it, maybe he's sleeping right now?’

I think I should ask her if he's sleeping first.

Thinking so, she erased the previous text and typed it again.

[Sleeping?]

And then she thought.

‘…Isn't this a little too short?’

"Ugh…"

S-class hero Stardus was in a relationship for the first time…

She thought about it for a while and finally, she managed to send a text.

[…sleeping?]

She said,

"…Good."

After sending it, she smiled with pride.

Who knew?

The villain's worst nightmare, that’s cold at the scene of a terrorist attack, and crushed the villain in one fell swoop, and was always admired by her hero peers for her steely, cold face….sends a text to the villain, smiles, and feels proud of herself.

After sending it, she began to feel nervous.

‘I wonder if he'll reply. I wonder if he's already asleep.’

And then, after a long wait.

>[What's up?]

"…!"

He replied immediately.

Stardus, who had been lying on the bed in a daze, immediately sat up.

Just like that, after their last kiss…their first conversation began.
