Chapter 340:

Beneath a sky stained red, but hovering with an eerie yellow glow, a woman's sobbing could be heard, pitifully.

No.please.wake up.'

.Papa.Papa! Wake up Sister!QuicklyTry.'

Ican'tdoanythingwithmystrength.'

Noises coming from somewhere.

And then a man's cracked voice, very faintly audible.

Kuluksindo.'

drawer.throw.top.'

A mumble, and a sob, were heard again.

Don'tdon'tdiearen't youhmmmhmmmhmmmhmmm'

Behind the sobbing woman, the sky was gradually sinking heavier and heavier.

.give upcan't.not seemy.'

I was looking at the scenery silently, as if watching a movie and then someone grabbed my shoulder.

I turned around and I saw the figure of a man wearing a black hat and a white mask covering half of his face.

The man in that familiar outfit opened his mouth to speak to me.

Don't make a choice you'll regret.

..'

That was the last time I heard his voice as I woke up from my dream.

"Haaah."

Another dream.

I sighed, drinking the water I had placed beside my bed.

It was a strange dream I've been having a lot lately.

I don't remember much of the beginning, but the end is always the same.

At the end of a ruined landscape, a figure of me' speaks to me.

I don't know if I'm dreaming this because I'm having a bad day, or if I'm just'

Maybe the dream had a message for me.

I muttered to myself, drank the water again, and thought to myself.

Don't make choices you'll regret.

That's what it said.

But what, exactly, is a regrettable choice?

With that unresolved question, I went back to bed.

I dreamt of something serious, and I think I heard an important message, but it's early morning. I'm still sleepy from the trip.

With that, I fell back into a deep sleep.

It was three weeks after I retired from being a villain.

***

After retirement we've been traveling abroad as a group, just the members of Egostream.

We've actually spent more time at vacation spots like hot springs, pools, water parks, and beaches than at tourist attractions. Come to think of it, they all have water. Hmm.

Anyway, I had a great time.

It was enough to make me feel better about the idea of parting ways with Stardus.

Seo-eun, Soobin, Ha Yul, Cha-yoon, Choi Se-hee, Mr. Desik, Seo Ja-young, Shinryong, and Ariel, everyone else traveled with me.

ActuallyIt's not a good idea to go abroad at this point because security is much worse abroad than in Korea. There are more and more villains and the chances of getting caught up in terrorism are much higher.

But then I realized that the villains are us, and we're so strong that it's not a big deal anyway, so I went on the trip. Of course, I made sure to fly safely on the private plane she lent me, just in case.

It was also the last time we could travel anyway.

The current time is in the middle of the third part of the original.

Normally, the still rampaging monsters of the Moonlight Church, the Wish Granter who is slowly starting to align with them, and the White Witch Seo-eun would have been a chaotic collaboration

However I stopped the Moonlight Church, Seo-Eun is now on my side, and I killed the final boss, the Wish Granter, in advance.

Unexpectedly, it was quite a quiet time compared to other times because I took care of everything in advance.

Of course, there's still some nasty stuff left to do, and I had a huge task of wooing Celeste during this timebut considering the world is going to go to shit again when Part 4 starts, it's a pretty relaxing time.

"Come on, Da-in. Here."

She led me to a fantasy room.

A big, fluffy beanbag chair sat in the middle of the room, with a large, movie theater-like monitor on the wall in front of it.

And underneath it, all sorts of gaming machines connected to the monitor.

There was also a bookshelf full of comic books on the wall.

It was a fantasy space for a homebody.

"What do you think, Da-in? I've never shown you this before. My paradise!"

With a hoodie that was bigger than her arms, Seo-eun smiled as she took a step backward.

"Cool. This place is more convincing than a manga cafe. Once you enter, you won't want to leave."

"Hehe. It's nice, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then sit down!"

Seo-eun said, tugging on my arm, and I laid myself down on a large beanbag.

It's so fluffy, I literally feel like I'm being sucked in.

With momentum, I grabbed a comic book from the bookshelf right behind me, saw the red 19 marker and casually put it back in, and then grabbed a normal book from the bottom row and laid down.

"AwwwGood."

"Isn't it?"

Seo-eun, who was sitting on a beanbag next to me, smiled wryly and said so.

After sitting down, she fiddled with a remote control and turned on a large monitor on the wall in front of us.

"I'm in heaven sitting here watching this."

"What is it?"

I asked, looking up with interest.

Seo-Eun, her silver, short hair now slightly longer, flowing slightly to the side, smiled wryly and pointed in front of me.

The speakers above her are playing soothing classical music, while a large monitor like a movie theater shows.

".."

The image of my fan cafe was on the big monitor.

I feel dizzy because that big monitor is not a movie, but an internet community.

As I squeezed my eyes shut, Seo-Eun smiled and said to me.

"What do you think, Da-in? Isn't it fun?"

I had a feeling that today was not going to be an easy day.

Watching my own fan cafe is torture
