How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel

50 – Wolhayeong

Cheonma.

Even if you haven’t read martial arts, this is a name you’ve probably heard at least once.

I know that in ordinary martial arts novels, Cheonma (天魔) appears as the head of a demonic cult. An absolute powerhouse and the source of evil.

A strong man who controls countless demonic cultists with his strength, and sometimes commits evil acts such as invading the world or engaging in greed and evil deeds.

‘In other words, he is a top martial artist, no, he is the best villain.’

Therefore, the Heavenly Demon is in an antagonistic relationship with the protagonist, and the protagonist’s mission should be to defeat the Heavenly Demon and save the world.

The general trend is that in the fight against the Heavenly Demon, the protagonist grows beyond his limitations and is ultimately reborn as a hero who saves the world.

But.

‘The Cheonma depicted in this novel was different.’

The words that came to mind came out of my mouth without me realizing it.

“…Wolhayoung.”

That’s Cheonma’s real name, which you may have forgotten when you were young.

Saaa…

The Heavenly Demon’s hair is looking at me.

Soon her face is level with mine.

“Hmm.”

The Heavenly Demon’s breath tickles the tip of her nose.

There was a bit of confusion and curiosity.

“How do you know my real name?”

It was worth it.

Her real name is buried in the past.

It was described like this in the original work. “It was a kind of witch hunt,” He said.

That’s the story of Cheonma’s childhood, when she was still called Wol Ha-yeong.

Wol Ha-young was born in a small, poor village.

She was born with extreme negative energy. There was always a subtle coldness around her.

Some people were amazed by her, but some were wary of her.

And it was one day when the village’s farming failed.

– Ha Young-ah. Let’s go to the mountains for the first time in a while.

It was the first time for young Wol Ha-yeong to go far away with her parents. It was just as good.

– Please wait here for a moment.

It was a cave.

Her parents did not return.

You were abandoned.

It was only after drinking the water in the cave for 10 days that I realized this fact.

When even consciousness becomes blurred. She was discovered by the pioneers of the .

– Have you been abandoned?

I could only blink.

– Would you like to join our school? Only children who have been abandoned by the world can enter our school.

They recognized her Wol Ha-young’s abilities and her potential. The man who was once the head of the organization has long since stepped down from that position. As for Wol Ha-young, she had no shortage of talent to become the new head.

「A world full of monsters pouring out of cracks」

One day, it’s been ten years since I joined the organization. She inherited the position of head.

Wol Ha-young was worried. A world full of confusion. How can I express the pain of being abandoned by the world?

「 All the ordinary people, not those with abilities, fell helplessly. No one would save them without paying something. 」

Mu and Hyeop died young. There are those who do not receive the light of power, but hide in the shadows and live in pain and screams. How will their existence be remembered in the world?

She became the moon shining in the shadow.

「 Wolhayoung was the only hope for such insignificant people. A being that rejects any rules or providence in the world. People called him Cheonma and followed him.”

Wolhayoung.

She is strong enough to be ranked among the top ten among mankind. No. She may have been the strongest person in the world.

But I don’t know. Because she is hidden in the shadows in the story and is not visible.

I look around this place, which must be her residence.

There were several wooden boards attached to the wall so books and tools could be hung. A rough-looking blanket is placed on the wooden bed.

There were books, paper, and writing utensils on the table. There were several bookcases on the walls, and the books piled high inside seemed to be the only luxuries in the room.

It is too simple to be the home of a being called Cheonma.

Magyo, a place where unlucky children who resent the world gather.

A group of people who live by the moonlight as the sun.

Wolhayoung is their monarch.

I gave her the example she deserved.

“Meet the Heavenly Demon.”

* * *

Meanwhile.

Han Chae-yoon woke up in a familiar bed.

“… You’re being too handsy, Master.”

No matter how long it has been since you came here, you still beat your student to the point where he faints.

She got up from her seat and walked towards the Heavenly Demon’s residence.

I was worried about Lee Han.

‘I guess he wouldn’t have treated me harshly because I had told him in advance…’

I feel strange for some reason.

And the moment I stood in front of the door of the Heavenly Demon’s residence, I realized. Her intuition was correct.

– Be mine.

The voice of the Heavenly Demon was heard from inside.

‘What on earth is this…?’

She carefully opened the door slightly.

The back of Master in his pajamas caught my eye.

Beyond the Master…

‘Lee Han!’

The problem was that Master was hugging Lee Han as if he was pounced on him.

Han Chae-yoon’s heart began to pound.

Now that I think about it, Master.

When you see a talented person, your eyes wander.

I don’t know what to do.

Go in and stop him…

‘No, wait.’

Han Chae-yoon absolutely trusts her teacher.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with Master being interested in Lee Han. In the end, he had to ask her to fix Lee Han’s eyes.

Han Chae-yoon silently knelt down on the floor of her hallway. And she slowly opened the crack in the door she was peeking through a little more.

As she opened her eyes, the room became more vivid.

I saw Lee Han bending her head.

– Meet the Heavenly Demon.

‘…! ‘How did you know?’

Han Chae-yoon hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands.

Lee Han is always like that. Like a person who knows everything, he is always one step ahead of Han Chae-yoon’s evaluation.

The teacher’s face was also colored with astonishment, but then his smile returned.

-I thought she was a child with interesting abilities. Her movements are also strange, and it is clear that she has lost her eyes, but she acts as if she can see them. I thought he had acquired the mind’s eye, but he also had a useful brain.

Master’s hand strokes Lee Han’s head.

But for some reason, there is an unknown heat in that touch.

Gulp.

Han Chae-yoon swallowed her saliva without realizing it.

Something is different from my usual teacher.

A strange stickiness was felt in the room.

‘What on earth is it?’

Although I trust my teacher.

‘Something…’

I feel like jealousy and wariness are boiling deep inside my heart.

At that time.

‘!’

Suddenly, Master came right in front of Lee Han.

– So will you be mine?

The moment when Cheonma’s lips get so close to touching Lee Han.

Han Chae-yoon opened the door without my knowledge.

“Both of you stop!”

* * *

Be your own.

Cheonma asked once again.

Do you mean making a disciple?

Or is this a story about becoming an experiment?

I was worried for a moment.

‘But if it’s Wolhayoung.’

If she was depicted in her original work,

It didn’t seem to be a problem if she answered, “I will be yours.”

So, the moment I was about to answer.

– Grrr!

The door opened roughly, and someone burst into the room.

“Both of you stop!”

“… Han Chae-yoon?”

Now that I think about it, he was alive and well.

Without even having time to express her joy, Han Chae-yoon poured out all of her words.

“What are you talking about, Master? And you, Lee Han! What are you worrying about? Why are you worrying about a woman I don’t know asking you to be mine!”

“… A woman I don’t know?”

Kuung. Although the Heavenly Demon looked lost in the world. That’s it.

Cheonma is Han Chae-yoon’s teacher?

“Master?”

“Yes. This person is my teacher.”

From noble mtl dot com

I see.

Somehow, I felt uneasy about the similarity between the two, which was insufficient to explain with just their similar appearances.

Because we have similar natural constitutions, I think they are a good match between teacher and student.

No, wait.

Then what?

“… Why did you get hit on the street earlier?”

The answer came from the mouth of Cheonma instead of Han Chae-yoon.

“The disciple didn’t come to see the teacher for a while, so he just hit me with honey.”

The Cheonma’s lips twitched slightly.

… If it’s a honey chestnut, getting hit with a cane once will be the worst thing in the world.

Anyway.

The character looks a little broken, but I’m glad Han Chae-yoon looks healthy.

Then, I guess I’ll have to negotiate a conversation with Cheonma.

“What does it mean to be mine?”

The Heavenly Demon’s eyes turned even redder at my question.

Anxiety grew in the eyes of Han Chae-yoon, who was next to him.

“It’s no big deal.”

After answering like that, Cheonma stands up from her seat.

She put her hands on the waist of her own clothes.

It is a thin cloth that wraps around a long cloth and secures it. Slowly untie the knot and open your mouth.

“Meaning of dual wielding…”

Dual wielding?

My questions did not go away.

Because I heard a scream.

“No way!”

Han Chae-yoon rushed in like lightning and opened the mouth of the Heavenly Demon with one hand. With one hand she grabs and ties the knot of her cloth.

… What a great move.

But.

What is the reason for such a reaction?

This is my first time seeing Han Chae-yoon so embarrassed.

“Han Chae-yoon. What is double-handedness?”

“Ah…Ah…No! You can’t do that!”

“No, what’s wrong with that?”

“Ah, anyway! No! No…Ugh!”

Hwiik.

Han Chae-yoon flies far away when the Cheonma swings her hand.

She lands with the agility of a cat.

Anyway, the Cheonma spoke with his mouth free.

“It is the union of yin and yang.”

“Unity of yin and yang?”

“Are you aware of the constitution called oral syllable vein?”

“I know roughly.”

Han Chae-yoon was like that, and Cheonma was like that too.

Both of them are people born with extreme negative energy.

“It’s a disease you get when you’re born with too much of either yin or yang energy. If you overcome it, you’ll have considerable talent.”

Cheonma overcame.

Han Chae-yoon was still unstable.

It was in that sense that I gave Han Chae-yoon a ring that stabilizes magical power.

“Unification of yin and yang is a type of treatment and training method.”

The Heavenly Demon moved her long, white fingers.

She curled one of her hands and squeezed it.

Her other finger was held up long.

“A man and a woman…”

Han Chae-yoon jumped in once again, this time clinging to her Heavenly Demon’s hand and shouting.

“No! Gaaal! Go!”
