Ep.124 A Day of a Hero

Hero.

Hero doesn’t just work every day.

In fact, heroes have opportunities to move around when villains appear. So most of the time without villains, they have nothing to do.

As such, heroes tend to spend most of their time without villains quite leisurely.

Most of the low-grade heroes who can’t even live with the salary given by the association tend to have their own main jobs and do hero activities as a side job.

And in addition to those low-grade heroes, most of the heroes of class A or higher, who are responsible for Korea, spend their free time doing their own things.

Icicle, Lee Seola. She spends most of her time running her own company when no villains are around. Lee Seola’s Yuseong Enterprise, which has already entered the political and financial sectors, is already in a state where it’s difficult to run without her due to her influence spread all over the place. As such, Lee Seola also spends her time as if she were living in a company.

Shadow Walker, Kim Ja-hyun. Sleeping during the day and is active at night, living like a Dracula, but he usually spends time hanging out with his girlfriend. Or training his abilities in those times.

And lastly. Stardus, Shin Haru.

She, too, does something other than being a hero for the rest of her time. Typical college life. Now that she’s a senior, she’s taking classes and doing assignments, and living like an ordinary college student.

However, who is Stardus?

Among the three A-class heroes in Korea, she’s the only one close to an S-class. And the most righteous of them all.

She was different from other heroes who devoted the rest of their time to their daily lives, forgetting all hero activities, whether villains or anything, after being active only briefly when villains appeared. In other words, she usually goes to the association’s office without forgetting her status as a hero, or studies how to catch villains at home.

In other words, at present.

In her office at the association, Shin Haru was working on her computer.

“Stardus, if you need anything, just call me.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The association staff left.

She, who was clicking her mouse again, entered the same site as usual.

[Egostic Fancafe]

“…..”

A friendly yellow interface that welcomes her as if she’s in her hometown, even though it’s been a while.

The only reason she came into this cafe is to get information.

Information about what? Of course, about Egostic.

“Haa…”

She’s a hero.

Her job, then, is to capture and put the villains who terrorize and do bad things all over the country in jail.

And it’s natural for Shin Haru, the hero at the top of Korea, to focus on studying the villain Egostic as a priority as if the N pole and the S pole of a magnet are interlocking. In fact, no one would blame her if she only pondered about Egostic all day. In fact, they would give her compliments.

After completing her endless self-justification of looking around Egostic’s fan cafe, she soon decided to throw off her conscience and look around the popular posts of the cafe first.

Most of the things look useless.

Egostic’s terrorism still shots, Mango Stick cosplay, OTP with Ego Stream members…

Still, she went in all of them just in case, but she worked hard by pressing likes on her favorite posts and refuting them with comments if she didn’t like them.

Again, I’m not playing. I’m just studying a villain as a hero.

After reading all the popular posts.

Back on the main screen, she suddenly felt empty.

…As she struggled to get even one little piece of information about Egostic, her colleagues already know everything about him, right?

Shin Haru, who was thinking about that, felt her heart stuffy.

I’m an Egostic expert though.

I know very little about Egostic compared to them.

“Phew…”

‘We’re like a family. We’re very close.’

She felt bad again at the voice of Egostic ringing in her ears.

Anyway, Egostic is a villain who has committed several terrorist attacks. Since he’s a villain, she needs to catch him.

“….”

I don’t know.

Strangely enough, all she could think about was Egostic.

He pretends to be a bad guy, but he appears at an important moment to save her.

….Now, she’s not sure she can do that to him when the moment comes when she can put him in jail with her own hands.

“…What am I thinking?”

Yeah, he’s a villain, no matter what. A walking time-limited bomb. He has dozens of criminal records already.

As a hero, she shouldn’t do this thinking about the public who supports her.

Okay, let’s get to work.

She concentrated again on the monitor.

…. All right, what are we going to find out this time?

Let’s read the report from the association again.

Like that, her cozy office, where the sun shines down from the window and her blonde hair sparkles.

Under the warm sunshine, Shin Haru began to work hard again.

As she was reading the documents

The monitor suddenly turned off.

“….?”

Huh? Is it broken?

Just as she stared at the monitor and tried to figure out what was wrong.

Blip-.

The light came back on the monitor.

Oh, it’s on again.

The moment she thought that

She realized something strange.

The screen where the white document came out just before.

Where’s the document on that screen?

On the screen that was pit black.

Only one huge moon was floating alone.

“…What is this?”

The moon suddenly appeared on her monitor.

Shin Haru immediately felt ominous.

Something is strange.

And at that very moment, the sound of iron scratching from her monitor and the association speaker on the ceiling.

[Oh…]

[Oh… My children…]

[I’m the leader of Wolgwanggyo, ‘Cheon Wol-hwang’… Greeting to you guys for the first time. Are you doing well….?]

Wolgwanggyo

As soon as she heard it, her face immediately stiffened.

One of the villains that the association keeps tabs on, along with Egostic.

The group almost destroyed Seoul last time with their Moonlight Shaman.

“Stardus!!!”

“Yes, I’m listening, too.”

After beckoning the rush-coming staff to be quiet, she listened to the leader of Wolgwanggyo.

The sound of something scratching the metal could still be heard from the speaker.

[Yes… Oh, yes… I’m delighted that everyone seems to be in good mood… Are you all spending a blissful day… at home or at work?]

[Rotten humans gather and plunge each other into the depths of evil. It sounds… so much fun]

[To you who are like a disaster for themselves… who are always leading the world to its end, even today.]

[I brought you a present…]

[Look at the moon in the sky.]

[The moon is so bright, isn’t it?]

The leader suddenly told them to look at the shining moon.

Shin Haru’s face frowned at the hard-to-understand question.

All of sudden

The moment when the leader’s words were over

“….Huh?”

As soon as the sunlight suddenly disappeared. Everything went black.

Suddenly, the world fell into darkness.

“……Is it already nighttime”

[…Hahaha.]

[This is the first gift from myself to you fools…]

[And I’ll give you… one more gift.]

[This nasty world where each of you is trying to kill each other…]

[I’ll give you a chance so that you can escape and have a way to survive…]

[To all those who didn’t get saved… With the moonlight, a path to survive will be opened to you.]

[For the apostates, death is the only thing.]

And at the end of the leader’s words.

A grotesque and huge howl from one side of the city

GRUHHHHHHHHH-

SCREEEEEEECHHHHH

“Stardus!”

“Yes, I’ll be on my way!”

Already in her suit, she immediately flew into the black sky without a single light.

“…..”

The city was steeped in the dark.

Shin Haru flew to a place where the huge grotesque noise echoed.

Her expression seemed more disturbing than ever.

She has a bad feeling about it.

More than ever, it’s bad.

Her instinct was warning her so.

***

The house engulfed in darkness in an instant

[To all those who didn’t get saved… With the moonlight, a path to survive will be opened to you.]

[For the apostates, death is the only thing.]

At the end of the leader’s words

“Shit. This is fucked up.”

I let out a curse word.

Fuck it. Seriously, why…

“Da-in! What’s all this about?”

“Da-in! It’s suddenly dark outside. What happened?”

“Hey… What the hell is going on right now?”

Our Ego Stream is also in chaos.

[Breaking news! An unidentified mysterious creature appeared in Seoul!]

My face stiffened as I heard the radio.

Wolgwangyo. Sudden darkness. A mysterious creature.

Fuck. This is 100% what Wolgwanggyo did.

One of the soldiers of the Apocalypse appears in the final battle of the second phase.

“… Silver.”

“What?”

“Seo-eun, take everything you have. Hurry!!!”

We’re screwed.

If I don’t hurry and prevent it, then it’s going to be the end.

I hurried toward the basement.

Gosh, that fucking leader bastard.

Why is he bringing out the final weapon now?

In such a dark city.

Two figures were stepping up to prevent disaster.
