C61: Black Disaster

“It’s snowing.”

Time flew by.

Since the last bridge attack, there is still a lot of time left before Behemoth’ diving into the Han River.

It’ll happen around March, so I just hung around until then. Well, having fun is a good thing. I love having fun.

Actually, I thought about causing another terrorist attack before the Han River.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought I didn’t have to. Stardus was already strong in the first place, about the third year of the original… And the most important thing is it’s winter, so it is cold. Mapo Bridge in December was cold, but it must be freezing now. Terrorism is better for both villains and heroes when it’s warm.

That’s how I got stuck in the house.

I should catch up on the game.

Even if I stayed at home, there was no time to be bored because there were so many people in the house in the first place. Me, Seo-eun, Soobin, Ha-yul and her brother are in a mansion in the mountains. Since there are five people in total.

As soon as Ha-yul and her brother went to school, they came back for winter vacation. Huh? How…

I don’t know why I created a fuss with Seo-eun and made her manipulate the admission records to send them to school quickly. I’m sorry, Seo Eun.

Anyway, Cha-yoon, who is also going to school now, I mean Ha-yul’s younger brother, is studying even harder. Why is a freshman in middle school studying so hard? Wasn’t everyone supposed to play when you were in middle school?

As a result of Cha-yoon studying hard, even Ha-yul, who was watching it from the side, began to study. No, you don’t have to study because you have healing power anyway

Ha-yul is a senior in high school. I guess it makes sense for her to study? Looking at Ha-yul, who is studying for the college entrance exam after opening a book belatedly, Korean test takers must be destined to study, whether in their previous lives or here. Oh, my…

For Ha-yul, who had almost forgotten all her studies as she wandered around the street since high school, Soobin did a one-on-one tutoring section and taught her. Yeah, I forgot Soobin is from Seoul National University. She is the best at studying for the college entrance exam among all of us.

Come to think of it, isn’t she too busy these days? She takes turns doing housework, but in addition to that, she’s also Seo-eun’s assistant and teaching two children. I mean, Ha-yul is raising her brother and sister alone. People will think she’s Ha-yul and her brother’s mom.

When everyone is busy like that, I… erm…

Well, I’ve been working hard so far, right? So I can have fun.

Of course, it’s not just about playing. I’m planning on recruiting villains, writing a diary,…

Of course, Seo-eun and I spent an overwhelming amount of time lying down and playing games together. We played dozens of games together on the living room sofa. You can’t beat some difficult games if you don’t play them together.

“Da-in! Hurry up, parry! Use parry and save me!”

“Okay! I saved you.””

“Phew. I just need to catch him and it’s clear, right?”

That’s how I spent my time idly.

Not only did I play at home, but on snowy days, I played with snow outside. At that time, Ha-yul, her brother, and Soobin were all dragged outside. You can’t stay indoors too much, you should go out and play.

“Ah! Da-in!” Come here!”

“No, I don’t want to. Ebbebe*.” *TN: The sound when you make fun of someone.

“Wait! Teleporting is cheating!”

“Hahaha… Whoo!

“Soobin, don’t stand there and let’s play together! Come on!

“Dain… You’re dead…”

I found out that Soobin was scary when she was mad.

Today’s lesson. Let’s not throw a snowball on Soobin’s face.

Ha-yul and her brother were making a snowman by rolling the snow. It’s snowing a lot because this is a mountainous area.

The snowy mountain valley was also my dream. I’m glad I moved. I think it’s a hundred times better here than underground. In the first place, it’s deep in the mountain and has a device around it, so people can’t come close, so we can stay outside as much as we want.

Of course, there is a problem that you have to use a teleportation device every time to go to the city center, but it is worth the trouble.

Christmas finally came so I left a Christmas tree twice the height of a person at home to refresh the place.

As January and February passed, time passed leisurely.

Time flies so fast since I’m playing

Time passed like that.

As it is embedded deep in the valley, I think I have forgotten the world a little. It feels good.

Sometimes it was a rare event for me to watch Stardus fight with miscellaneous villains while eating popcorn. Unlike Seo-eun, Ha-yul and her brother like fighting, so they watched it together. They seemed like they were watching an action movie rather than Stardus, but… Well, or do they just like eating popcorn?

When I was having a calm time like this, my Mango Union seemed to be having a hard time.

All over the place, I’m out of action.

I’m sorry, guys…! But you will find hope soon, so wait a little bit!

Doing one thing or another, it’s finally March.

Cha-yoon went to middle school, and Ha-yul went to her original high school as a senior.

I was a little worried if the children would adapt well, but it was fortunate that everyone seemed to be making good friends.

Both were assigned to an all-girls high school and an engineering middle school near the house where we have the underground base, so they were doing well.

Come to think of it, Seo-eun is also a high school student.

Do you have any thoughts of going to school? When I asked her, she replied, “Why would I go there? I don’t even have time to fiddle with the computer network”.

…Well, I didn’t expect it in the first place. Honestly, it’s kind of hard for Seo-eun to go to school. Without Seo-eun, all my plans are flawed.

After spending three months together, we became very close to each other. Ha-yul and Seo-eun, who were a bit awkward, became close to each other. Time is the best medicine.

Anyway, March went by slowly like that.

Okay.

Now, it’s time to wake up.

Alpha and Omega of the HanEun group’s ambitious global conquest project. The day will come when a giant worm with the size of a 63 building will pop out.

In the original, it’s the brat who destroyed all the cities above Seoul and smashed North Korea, and the reason why I had to explode and drown the bridge into the water.

The event that I’ll probably twist the original the most.

The day when the fate of the Republic of Korea will change.

I spent days waiting for that day.

And then, one day.

Finally, it appeared.

***

Seoul, daytime.

The city center overlooks the Han River.

This place, where various people gathered and did their own work, looked as normal as ever.

Yeah, so far.

“…?”

In a quiet city, a sudden tremor.

People were confused by the tremors that gradually hit the ground as if it were an earthquake.

The vibration that struck the ground for a few decades.

And then. It suddenly stopped.

And

suddenly.

Under the ground of the HanEun Group’s building, which is facing the Han River.

It smashed the building,

Something black jumped out.

It looks like a black tower.

The Black Disaster, which had so many tentacles.

THUMP-

The black thing shooted up from the ground, just like that and thump it landed on the ground.

It’s like a building expanding in size, which looks like it can crash down the entire city.

People were shaking, screaming at the sudden appearance of the disaster.

They suddenly started screaming horrifyingly.

Creaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak…

Like the sound of clawing the blackboard.

Like a howling voice of hundreds of babies.

A chilling burst of underlying malice

It’s so large that you can hear it everywhere in Seoul, and it’s so large that it destroys all the glass nearby with just that noise that it’s impossible for life to produce.

Looking like the end of the world, it seemed like a disaster that humans could not stop, coming to judge humans.

The end of the Republic of Korea has suddenly come.

After a brief lull, it finally began to move.

Forward, forward.

Like a runaway locomotive, wiggling its countless tentacles.

Like it doesn’t know how to go sideways or backwards.

As it turned the road, it began to march forward.

It looks like a black tidal wave from afar.

Visible with the naked eye from a few kilometers away, it went straight as if it was about to smash everything in front of it.

The place that it, who only wanted to go straight forward, was aiming for was none other than the Han River.

There is a bridge right at the end of his path.

No, there was. There’s none now.

But not long ago, a terrorist smashed it, so it was just running over the river in the empty air.

So the monster, who seemed to be terrifying, to destroy Korea, and which seemed like no heroes could stop, rushed directly into the Han River.

It fell into the water.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

Suddenly, with a creepy scream, it began to melt away as if the water was turning into some acidic liquid.

And

And

It’s done.

“…..?”

A sudden return of peace.

Just a while ago, there was this catastrophe that made a terrible noise heard by tens of millions in Seoul and looked like a destruction god.

Suddenly, it disappeared as if nothing had happened.

The building that was destroyed by him popping out, the ground that was ground up, and the Han River colored in black only proved that there was something here until just now.

Such a sudden disaster disappeared as it did after it appeared for only five minutes.

Incident ended. Problem solved!

“Hey, it’s so easy.”

That’s all I said when I was lying on the sofa, chewing popcorn and watching TV.

Well, it’s nice because I’m in a rural valley and I can’t hear anything.

Won’t local housing prices go up in the future? Seoul is that dangerous, Ladies and Gentlemen!

Seo-eun, who was eating popcorn with me next to her, forgot to eat popcorn and just looked at the TV screen with her mouth open.

“No, no. No, wait a second. It was almost a disaster, wasn’t it?”

Hmm, that guy’s a bit of a force.

Still, in the original, there were no problems in the rest of the neighborhood except for the upper part of the Han River in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, and North Korea.

Well, that would be a big deal.

“Well, as long as it was stopped, then that’s fine.”

I just said it with a shrug.

One of the buildings was destroyed, but it was put down quickly.

People wouldn’t be surprised, would they?

***

[What was that just now?]

Wait, holy shit. I thought we were going to die.

I live in Jongno, so if it reached my place. Then I was going to be dead, right?

My hands and feet are still shaking. What should I do?

I thought the earth was going to collapse.

= [Comments] =

[Thanks Mango Stick for saving you. If he didn’t break the bridge, you’re already dead.]

ㄴ[Why?]

***

To be honest, I want everyone to pretend nothing happened.

Don’t tie me up here.

“Hey, Da-in. Egostic ranked 10th in the real-time trend. On top of it is ‘Monster Mapo Bridge Han Eun Group.’.

Well, that’s not going to happen, is it?

Hahahahaha.
