How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel

Chapter 56

56 – Horror

As always, the villain’s fate seems bound to be difficult.

“……”

I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

‘The scenario has begun.’

I expected, that is, faster than the original.

Why on earth are you doing this? The thought came and then quickly disappeared.

Well, what if I were the main character of this damn novel?

As someone who is nothing more than a villain, I have no choice but to adapt to this phenomenon.

As if to let me know that it was the right idea, the quest window came up belatedly.

[ ‘Scenario Quest: Opening Eyes’ ]

◇ Successfully complete the transformation of an important person.

– Subject: Hyunjin Yoon

◇ Minimize damage to the Academy.

Now that I think about it, why does he wake up so late?

Is my ‘cognition’ of the story a factor that determines the occurrence of the quest?

Anyway.

There is something else that is important now.

This is true just by looking at the cool scenery unfolding before your eyes.

This is a scenario where a lot of damage can occur if something goes wrong.

This is even more true when you consider the pace at which the scenario progresses, which is crooked.

That’s why the question arises.

How far has this ‘opening eyes’ scenario progressed?

You need to understand that first.

After all, the easiest way would be to find out the condition of Yoon Hyun-jin, the main character and boss of this scenario…

‘It’s difficult to know in the current situation.’

We are not close enough to know where Hyunjin Yoon often goes. I think that there is no such thing as a ‘relationship’, but rather the relationship between the leader and the villain who one-sidedly nags. I don’t know what she thinks though.

Anyway.

Even if Yoon Hyun-jin’s location was unknown, she could at least infer that she was at the beginning of the scenario, looking at the current situation at the academy.

It is true that there are visible scratches on some of the buildings, and there are ghost-like things walking around. However, the damage to the building seemed minor, with just peeling paint, and the aggression of the ‘spirits’ did not seem that severe.

More than anything else, the reason the campus looks empty seems to be because students hid in each building without any injuries.

“Hmm…”

【Scenario: ‘Opening eyes’】. A scenario in which Yoon Hyun-jin, who was the weakest of the main characters, becomes the first to undergo secondary eye opening. The problem is that this process of ‘secondary eye opening’ inevitably has a strong and large impact on those around us.

In the case of Hyunjin Yoon, it is a barrier and a summons to the law. As the ‘barrier’ spreads, it becomes difficult to understand the inside situation from the outside. Against that background, breaking through the laws and targeting Hyunjin Yoon is the key to resolving this scenario.

‘Then first.’

You need to recruit colleagues.

Because the words are grandiose, we need to form a strategy team with ‘talented people’ who can catch her colleague Ji, Yoon Hyun-jin, who turned Orbis Academy into this division.

The problem is how to get to where ‘her girls’ are.

I turned her head and looked at Seo Ha-eun.

Perhaps because he suddenly grabbed her hand, she was extremely embarrassed.

I felt it somehow in my mind’s eye.

Her ability is outstanding, but she doesn’t have the ‘eyes’ that would be the standard for my penalty for no reason.

‘I think it will be helpful.’

But that doesn’t mean I can’t bet my fate on a feeling.

Just in case, it would be a good idea to leave a slightly bad impression.

“Hand… “You can’t hold hands!”

Seo Ha-eun shouted with a red face.

She was clasped by a man she had just met for the first time, holding her hand.

That too in a strange situation where ghosts and monsters are rampant.

“Why? “Didn’t you say you would cooperate?”

“They said they would cooperate, but… That doesn’t mean… “

“But what? “Are you saying you don’t like it because I caught it?”

Lee Han asked as he saw Seo Ha-eun’s hesitation.

His smile is vicious.

To the extent that we can understand why he is famous as a villain criticized by the Academy.

The problem is the situation.

She had a phobia about things like ghosts and ghosts. From her childhood, she was largely left alone in the Shenyang family as a half-child. Because it was dark and she instinctively knew that even when she was scared, she had no one to turn to.

Seo Ha-eun felt her heart pounding at his smile.

But she denied those feelings.

‘Come to your senses, Seo Ha-eun. ‘It’s not the time yet.’

He is a person who must take over the Shenyang Group by any means possible.

Even though he is a half-child, he faces cold in Shenyang.

Although I am ignored even by my own relatives.

‘I will somehow swallow Shenyang and bring them to their knees before my eyes.’

The reason I’m only registering and attending the academy is to focus my efforts on Shenyang.

In fact, the reason she hastily returned to Orbis via the portal is because she judged that an opportunity had come to keep her older sister, Seo Hayun, in check.

‘Seo Hayoon… ‘

She recalled a phone call with her half-sister and student council president at Orbis.

– Are you going to jump into the successor race? That’s funny. You better not think about what you can do to me. If you don’t want to be like your mother.

Clud.

It was something that made me grit my teeth, but I was able to understand it clearly thanks to this phone call.

The fact that Seo Hayoon is in a very difficult situation right now.

She grew quickly using Orbis and ranked high in the succession race, but for some reason, Hayun’s status was in jeopardy as her growth slowed down.

If she can step on this woman, Seo Ha-eun will finally be able to take her meaningful step in the race to succeed her.

‘As for…!’

First of all, what should I do with the hand held by the man in front of me?

“Let me go!”

“Wait.”

Lee Han’s oppressive face.

I feel bad, but I also feel confident.

Seo Ha-eun shouted, feeling that her taste in choosing men was poor.

“You pervert!”

“This is absolutely necessary.”

Even so, the only thing that comes back is Lee Han’s sly smile.

* · * *

Although she said holding hands like this was absolutely necessary.

Of course it’s bullsh*t.

Because it was just the easiest way to check whether that ‘spirit’ was coming to us or not.

“Aye!”

Seo Ha-eun’s scream rang out.

Because a ghost walking in front of her turned her head this way.

“He! “He!”

Seo Ha-eun pointed with her free hand at her ghost coming towards them with her screams.

Seeing it coming, it is clear that it is a ‘decree’.

‘God’s Eyes’, a law attribute possessed by Yoon Hyun-jin.

A kind of minion-like entity that was created when it ran rampant.

“To put it simply, if you break the school rules, you can think of that ghost reacting.”

I looked into Seo Ha-eun’s eyes and said.

“What are the school rules? “What rules?”

She asked with a puzzled expression.

“Orbis’ Principles.”

Saying that, he took her hand away.

– Bake…

The decree cried once again and walked away.

“That…” “A ghost?”

Seo Ha-eun screamed.

“That’s right. A ghost that catches people who break the rules. “It would be best not to break the rules, at least within this barrier.”

I explained the scope of the barrier.

“Then do we have to escape from the barrier?”

Seo Ha-eun asked impatiently, like a puppy needing to pee.

I told him exactly what I saw with my eyes.

“All the buildings within the barrier are under the influence of an unknown force. That’s why the portal gate won’t open, and the fact that the electricity here just went out is probably also an effect.”

“So we can’t leave the barrier?”

“That’s right. There are two ways to lift the barrier. The first is for the person who created the barrier to lift it himself, and the second is to destroy the magic source that is the source of the barrier.”

“Magic source?”

Instead of answering, I held Seo Ha-eun’s hand again and shook it.

A decree is coming.

“Ugh!”

Seo Ha-eun screams.

– Gooooo… Kyooooonaaeae Yeeoeoaneaeaeae

Lift up a nearby tree branch and hit the spirit’s chest with Blink.

Bad!

With a sound, the spirit disappeared.

“Just like monsters, they also have something called a ‘core.'”

“Then what should we do?”

Seo Ha-eun opened her mouth half-open with blank eyes.
