Chapter 9

Chapter 008

When you live as a villain, you can't buy a house.

No matter how beautifully you decorate it, if your tail is stepped on, the house is likely to be destroyed.

Therefore, villains usually create a natural fortress that no one can approach easily or arrange a mobile residence.

Or, with a lot of money, they stay in hotels for long-term accommodation.

It might feel like a money grab, but from the perspective of a temporary residence, it's better to just rent.

Especially in Busan, the second largest city in this world.

'Prices are five times higher than in the real world, and no one would want to buy a house here if they're not going to live here forever.'

The prices are ridiculously high.

There are several reasons for this, but the biggest reason is 'mana.'

For ability users, cities on the east coast are the places where they can absorb mana most quickly and efficiently.

Not only Koreans, but ability users from overseas also seek residences in Busan, regardless of the cost, to accumulate mana, making the rent in Busan high wherever you go.

'Still, it's this high in Busan, but it gets even worse as you go north. Really.'

The closer you get to the north, the closer you get to 'Sejong Island,' and the prices get even higher.

In Pohang, which is directly connected to Sejong Island, the prices are even higher than in Busan.

Even though Busan is the capital, it's understandable, but Pohang is more expensive than Busan?

There's one reason.

Simply, it's because of 'distance' and 'environment.'

Pohang is the closest city to Sejong Island, and if you travel about 150km northeast from Pohang, you reach Sejong Island.

'If you go to Uljin or Gangneung, the price for a one-night stay in a villa is 30 million won, so Busan is the most economical.'

Mana has shaped this world.

Despite the insane prices, there is still demand, so sellers are doing their best to get as much money as possible.

Of course, the high prices don't really affect me much.

My pay has increased as much as the prices have.

Heroes are like civil servants, receiving a fixed salary, but I am a freelance villain, so as long as the organization doesn't go bankrupt, I receive a minimum of 50 million won per month.

The organization must not go bankrupt.

Because it's my livelihood.

To prevent that, I need to eliminate the first element that could destroy the organization, the 'main character.'

"Am I destined to kill the main character to survive?"

Whether it's a light novel or a fantasy novel, when you possess an extra character in the original work, there are two main ways to deal with the main character.

One is to become a supporter who assists the main character from behind.

The other is to stab the main character from behind and eliminate them.

As a villain, the easiest method is to kill the main character.

"Sorry, main character."

I mourned for the main character, who is now coming to Busan from overseas to enter the academy.

"You have to die for me to live. And you, pervert."

I'm sorry to the main character of the nationalistic light novel, but he harassed all the heroines for the sake of 'service scenes.'

Entering a room while they are changing clothes in the dormitory.

Getting stuck in a cabinet with a heroine during a search and rubbing against each other.

Seeing a heroine's swimsuit slip off during a summer camp.

Being trapped in a cave with a heroine due to a goblin attack and sharing body heat to survive the cold.

The main character is involved in countless events that appeal sexually.

I cannot forgive this main character.

Just because he is the main character of a nationalistic light novel?

Because he forms a harem with the heroines?

Or because he will interfere with my plans to secure S-class prospects and heroines at the academy I will attend?

Or because he has a secret of his birth that is related to a powerful figure, and his personal ability is world-class, allowing him to become a god?

None of the above.

I have already been harmed by him.

Not the me before possession, but the me after possession.

And if he is left alive, the world will be destroyed.

"The meteor ending..."

In this world.

The moment the main character gains god-level power, the world is destroyed.

-Everyone, die with me and this world!

The main character, with god-level abilities, had everything in his hands, but the author, unable to continue the long series, dropped a meteor from the sky.

And the Earth was destroyed.

Unfortunately, the main character has the power to make a meteor in space collide with Earth.

After creating all the harems and just when he should be happy, the reason he dropped the meteor is only one.

-Thank you for reading to the end!

The author ended the series abruptly.

The bastard.

So I cursed him in the review, and as expected, the conscienceless bastard who ended the series abruptly forced me to possess this world.

Someone said.

The main character is the author's ego, a spirit-imbued avatar.

In other words, the main character in this world is the author.

So.

By killing the main character, I can feel a sense of satisfaction by killing the author who possessed me in this world.

I feel like I need to do this to feel better.

* * *

To enter the academy, I need a cover identity.

Fortunately, I have an external name, 'Do Jihwan.'

It's a common name, but it's not my real name; it's a pseudonym created in this world.

The author didn't think of a name for the goblin, so my name was 'Do Changnam.'

No, even if you're a villain, that's a bit much.

Even if you become the ultimate boss by accepting all the evil at the end and making the plot believable, that's a bit much.

It was a name that needed to be changed, and after possession, I decided to change my name and live with a new name.

Although the name 'Do Jihwan' sounds a bit strange, as if it reminds you of something else, I decided to live with it since it was given to me by the leader.

Do Jihwan.

23 years old.

My real name and age have nothing to do with it, but this is my external identity now.

There are two tasks I need to accomplish with this identity.

One is to follow the organization's instructions and seduce the heroine to join our side.

The other is a problem only I know, which is to kill the main character.

To accomplish these two tasks, I first need to enter Sejong Island based on this cover identity.

'Ordinary people can never enter Sejong Island.'

Sejong Island is a Level 1 military restricted area.

Even students at the academy cannot enter without a 'student ID.'

The only access points are the long bridges connecting Pohang, Gangneung, and Ulleung Island.

-How do you build this bridge?!

-There are ability users!

-I'm a kindergartener!

-Call the kindergarten teachers and see what they can do!

The bridge was built with the help of ability users around 2005, and before that, you could only get there by boat.

An ID is essential.

The purpose of the visit is also checked frequently.

They say the entry inspection for Sejong Island is more stringent than U.S. immigration.

Therefore, I needed a solid cover identity.

When people investigate Do Jihwan, it should not raise any suspicion.

So I chose this.

"Please make me a librarian."

"...A librarian?"

"Yes. A librarian."

I proposed a concept to the professional broker who creates cover identities, a villain in the organization called 'Face Maker.'

"Personally, I like books, and I think people won't pay much attention to a librarian."

"Are you planning to work as a faculty member at the academy?"

"Yes. I plan to get a job through nepotism."

"...It's dangerous."

Face Maker tilted his head while forging my ID.

"Even if Mr. Do is a great person, if Mr. Do is exposed, the chairman's line will be revealed to the enemy, right?"

"That means the chairman trusts me. There's a reason for me to enter Sejong Academy, and the spies planted there don't need to act recklessly."

"If it's the chairman's decision, I will follow it, but... Mr. Do, isn't it extremely dangerous? There are many S-class heroes there."

"I know."

I know very well.

"Even Snow White is rumored to be joining the faculty at Sejong Academy."

"Do you know this and still plan to go?"

"Yes. It's the chairman's order."

"...Here it is."

I was amazed at the newly created electronic chip and librarian certification.

"The computer issues will be resolved by the end of today. Now you are a 23-year-old 'civilian' who has completed librarian training. ...Not an ability user."

"I know."

I need to thoroughly act as a civilian.

"Besides, there's no need for a goblin there. There's no reason to transform into a goblin."

"...You might cause trouble as soon as you get there."

"Even if I cause trouble, it's not my fault, but the fault of the villains who made me transform into a goblin."

I have no fault.

I just need to eliminate the scum who mess with civilians.

"By the way, why did you choose a librarian among so many professions? Is this the chairman's order? If it's for a specific purpose, there are many other professions."

"Being a librarian is just my personal hobby."

Even if I fell into this world.

"...I really like books. I heard there are novels at the academy that you can't read outside."

According to rumors.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have entered the academy."

I heard that the novels in the academy library are published as books 'until the end.'
