Crazy Villain Regains Consciousness

1 episode

Intoxicated with power, I became a beast that thirsted for blood.

He killed and killed the visible, the sensual, and the nerve-racking.

I killed the person who had the will to kill me, the person who had greed, and the person who tried to take advantage of me.

Hematoma (血宗), Blood Master.

The world calls me by name.

Sometimes my mind comes back, but even that for a moment.

The thirst for blood came quickly and took control of the body.

An indelible self-hatred engulfed me.

None of this would have happened if I hadn’t been greedy for power. I just wanted to be stronger than others and do better than others.

The price was a hand that did not dry out blood.

At one point, I felt that I had no thirst for blood.

Was it because the purpose of dyeing the world with blood was achieved?

When you have questions about a situation you don’t understand.

I started losing consciousness again.

* * *

When you lose control of your body by being engulfed in madness, the feeling you feel is the same.

The world is dyed hazy like a mist, and a heavy feeling of pressure weighs on my heart. In it, I struggle without being able to move. Another me, who has gone mad as if laughing at me like this, runs out without any harshness and satisfies my thirst for blood.

I tried many times, but what came back was ridicule.

A hematoma is a monster created by not being able to control myself after all. Only me can erase this monster.

Every time I struggled, I kept trying to be swallowed up by him, but I didn’t give up and looked for a chance.

Hematoma is another me. The abilities, experiences, thoughts, etc. possessed by the hematoma belonged to him as well as mine.

Then, at one point, I felt my blurred consciousness become clearer and the senses around me become clearer.

I couldn’t feel the madness of the guy that was pounding my brain anymore.

Did I overcome him? Or is he trying to deceive me in a new way?

It was because of the nostalgic smell that permeated into my nostrils that freed my vigilant mind.

My mother’s soybean paste stew.

Taken from https://readwn.com

My mother’s food I thought I would never be able to eat again.

I was looking forward to tasting it again, but I didn’t dare to visit because I was afraid that my family would suffer further damage.

I’ve been living in a bloodbath and regretting my family.

I call him a ‘boy’, but in the end everything was my karma. In a situation where I cannot die on my own, the best I can do is to regain my freedom, make atonement, and take my own life.

Apart from that, being able to taste my mother’s food again is a great blessing to me. Even if it’s a dream, even if it’s his deception, it doesn’t matter.

I reflexively reached out to thank God. Then he licked the contents of his hand as if he was licking blood.

It is undoubtedly my mother’s miso soup. it was yummy.

“······· Junho!”

sound at the same time.

As soon as I put the sound into my ear, the surrounding landscape began to change.

The faces of my parents were in front of me.

“Junho!”

is it a dream

The reason I thought it was not real was because my parents were too young even though their faces were young.

Parents who thought they would keep it for the rest of their lives. However, after having caused antagonism several times and losing my body to the guy, all I could do was look at it from a distance, even if it was only occasionally.

Parents who were getting old. As I watched him grow weaker day by day, I shed tears of blood.

You could call it a dream. I was grateful to be able to see this scenery once again.

But what the senses received was vividness like reality.

When you can’t distinguish between reality and dreams and make a bewildered expression.

My parents looked at me with a bewildered expression.

“Hey Junho. Why do you eat soybean paste stew with your hands?”

“by hand?”

The place where I reflexively lowered my head was my hand with the miso soup and ingredients sticking to it.

I thought it was a dream.

But what is this reality?

“no way······.”

Once again, I scooped the miso soup by hand and put it in my mouth.

taste is felt From the savory soybean paste flavor to the softly crumbled tofu, potatoes and zucchini.

The dream had never been so vivid.

The appearance of my young parents, even the image of myself not engulfed in madness.

It’s not the guy’s deception. I am back in the past before I made the mistake.

“Hey, Junho! Why are you eating food with your hands!”

It was the reason why I was able to laugh at my mother’s surprised voice and my father’s crazy gaze.

“It’s delicious. It tastes better when you eat it with your hands.”

I once again ate the miso soup with my hands.

My mother’s food with a spoonful of the seasoning called nostalgia was very delicious.

When I woke up the next day, the world had not changed.

There was no going crazy again, no thirst for blood.

“Are you really into the past?”

I was grateful to be able to bask in the sun with my bare mind.

The world would be this happy just because I didn’t go crazy. I was always chased and threatened with my life, so I can’t remember the last time I slept soundly.

He always whispered to me. No more rebellion to give up. You and I are separate, but in the end we are the same. He whispered that he would become one with himself and become the only being in the world. I refused and wanted to get everything about him.

The only thing that came back each time was his smirk. And, as if in a bloody clash, the blood of countless people was smeared on his hands.

So I became the worst villain ever.

In reality, he was an incompetent 25-year-old white man.

I got up from my seat, spread the quilt, stretched, and went out to the living room. I was greeted warmly by the smell of boiling soybean paste stew and the sound of knives slicing ingredients.

He took a deep breath and took the smell into his stomach. The more I did it, the more my mother’s expression turned toward me.

“Good morning.”

“okay. You woke up so early?”

“Yes, how can I help you?”

“No, it’s fine. But are you really okay?”

“What?”

“That… no. no.”

“haha.”

It’s because I dipped my hands in soybean paste stew yesterday. Even I thought I was crazy.

No, I was originally called a madman, so did the madman do something crazy? Dealing with hematomas, I never thought I would be normal. If something had not been broken, I would not have been able to endure the ridicule and deception of him.

He and I were broken. So, it was the top priority to avoid making the broken tee as much as possible. How can I make it look normal?

Can we catch even a level 7 harmful monster right now? Then, wouldn’t you like to see your son’s skills?

“Eat your meal.”

“yes.”

“Wash your hands. Eat with a spoon and chopsticks.”

“I see.”

Since yesterday, there has been an unusually sad look in my eyes. I guess my actions were immature.

It was treated like a childish thing, but the fact that he had returned to the past was just as good.

“·················ogue.”

During the meal, my parents didn’t say much. After the meal, even though he said he was going to clean up, he gave up and went to work after tidying up.

Left alone, I sat down in a chair in front of the computer and thought idly. Do I really need to catch even the 7th level of harmful monsters? But wouldn’t you be surprised at how big it is? Were there any small 7 levels of hazard?

I turned my head, but it wasn’t there.

I erased the plan in an unavoidable situation and focused on the current situation first.

“It was a time when I was in full swing.”

When I was a teenager, I was judged as a suitable person for Awakening, and since I was 20, I tried to open large corporations and large guilds, but I failed for three years.

After that, he got discouraged and locked himself in his room and spent two years in vain, driving a nail into his parents’ chest.

That was me, the 25-year-old Junho Choi.

It may seem pathetic in the eyes of others, but my perspective, having 25 years of experience as a rare massacre, was somewhat different.

“I was a harmless guy. It can be so great.”

At least I killed it because it was annoying, I killed it because it was boring, I just killed it, because I didn’t suck blood when I didn’t need it.

It was a moment when I was very proud of myself for not doing anything.

“But did this life suck your parents’ blood?”

It’s not real blood though, so wouldn’t it be okay? It will be fine.

Looking back on the distant past that has now become an old memory, many old memories came to mind.

It seems he had no idea at this time.

I just blamed others.

He resented the world and resented his incompetence. It seems that he did everything he could to become stronger as it led to his longing for power.

Because I thought that if I gained strength, wealth and power would come to me.

The result of this immature thinking was the birth of the worst villain, Hematogen.

I got the power I wanted, but it wasn’t without power. My family suffered a lot because of my choices.

Parents who have been under surveillance for the rest of their lives for having their son wrong.

A younger sister who, despite her talent, could not develop it due to the crime of having her brother wrong.

There is no such mistake. I wanted to be a proud son to my family, not a blood-crazed villain.

So, what does a proud son look like?

The thing that comes to mind right now is the 7th level monster hunting.

“I’ll have to ask you later.”

I lay in bed and waited for my parents.

* * *

“…what do you want it to be?”

Choi Jin-gyu and Lee Young-hee, who returned from farming, blinked their eyes at their son’s question.

It was the same yesterday, but the change in his son’s appearance did not suit him.

At first, I thought I might be crazy, but I thought it was better than wasting my days and complaining about the world.

And instead of a hard expression, he now smiled quite a bit.

“You’ve been worrying about it. I’m just trying to calm myself down and do it right.”

“·················ogue.”

“I want our Junho to become a civil servant.”

Unlike Choi Jin-gyu, who was silent, Lee Young-hee quickly revealed her wish.

“Are you an official?”

“okay. Doesn’t that young hunter also become a civil servant? Not all civil servant hunters hunt monsters and arrest villains, right?”

“What do you think, Dad?”

At the son’s question, Choi Jin-gyu felt Lee Young-hee’s hand stabbing him from the side.

It was an unspoken signal to sympathize, but he could not pass by his son’s eyes as if he had mastered the world.

It was still unfamiliar to me that his appearance changed overnight, but I want to draw a better future than now, but how can I stop him from becoming a father?

“I hope there is meaning in trying again. To put it bluntly, you should do what you want to do.”

“Is there nothing you want to do?”

“Then why don’t you think about it now?”

“What are you talking about when you see Junho trying to win his heart!”

Lee Young-hee shouted from the side, but Choi Jin-gyu’s eyes were fixed on his son.

“It’s not just a voice. Junho hasn’t found a way yet, but if he finds the right way, he can get a decent job.”

“Are you saying that while you know it’s not easy?”

“It depends on what Junho does. What do you think?”

“Before that, I wonder what my father would think. How about a public servant hunter?”

“It’s not bad.”

“is that so?”

“You are put on relatively less risky missions, you serve the country, and you come out with a paycheck. If you like stability, it will be the most ideal job.”

“Then I will do that.”

“Aren’t you thinking of other places?”

“It seems to be the most comfortable. Just like staying at home.”

After a moment’s pause, the son looked into his and his wife’s eyes and said,

“And my parents said they liked it, so I wanted to do it too.”

“·················ogue.”

Silence fell for a moment at the son’s sincerity.

Choi Jin-gyu was very moved, and his wife was moved to tears.

My immature son grew up in one day.

“Hmm!”

“Of course. The income isn’t great, but how good it is to be stable! Junho, you will do well.”

“But to become a public servant hunter, you have to be at least level 1.”

Even with his wife’s hand stabbing her in the side again, Choi Jin-gyu said steadfastly.

“Level 1, can you do it?”

Level 1, that was Choi Jun-ho’s rebellion. Of course, Choi Jun-ho, who returned, did not care at all.

“Are you even level 9?”

* * *

“Our Junho has changed a lot.”

“Because men tend to grow old at some point.”

He said it, but he didn’t know that his son, who had been a troublemaker, would change so suddenly.

I thought that I had reached an irreversible situation just by eating soybean paste stew by hand.

After that, I was quite satisfied with the dignified appearance I showed.

“Can I do it?”

“I will. Because I didn’t mean it with a normal mind.”

“But it wasn’t easy to be recognized as an awakened person…….”

“I will find a way. All we have to do is trust and watch over us.”

“I do.”

Trusting and watching over his son. It was by no means an easy task, but the two decided to trust each other this time.

“By the way, being level 9, Junho is also very bluffing. Who do you look like?”

“Kuhm!”

* * *

I decided my career path after listening to my parents, but I think it was a pretty good choice.

Considering the fact that he was branded as a villain because he could not control his abilities before returning and suffered relentless pursuit after being branded as a villain, the official hunter is the best choice.

A public servant hunter is a full-fledged civil servant.

Secure employment and not excessive work intensity.

It’s as small as a rat’s tail, but it also holds public power.

What an ecstatic sound of public power. There was no proof that I would stand on the side of public authorities as proof of my determination to change as I began to live a new life.

It’s money, if you have time, you can catch a few monsters, and there’s a bounty hanging on the villain’s neck. There is no shortage of money just because you become a public servant hunter.

Having made the decision, it was time to put it into action.

My plan is to go to Seoul and take the civil service hunter exam. At the house in Seoul where I was staying two years ago, my younger sister, Yoon-hee Choi, was preparing for a job.

Another sore finger, the younger sister. This time, I have to help you do well without blocking the way ahead.

But since I’ve never taught anyone, that part took me a while.

“If I roll until I die, will my skills improve?”

All the guys who didn’t improve their skills are dead, so they have no choice but to improve. Being a younger sister, it is important to control it in moderation.

He made a plan for the future and trained up and down the mountain to wake up his sagging body. Then I suddenly stopped at the scenery of my parents’ orchard and headed there.

“I was indifferent.”

Just because I don’t kill people and don’t suck blood doesn’t mean I’m naive.

The size of the orchard, which is not easily accessible at a glance, could tell the hardships of the parents.

A world where demons appeared and changed dramatically.

After seeing the apple tree ruined by the harmful demons combined with the native creatures, he went around the orchard and went into the house.

“The number of harmful monsters has increased these days.”

My question brought a bitter smile to my father’s lips.

“It was fine until then, but they say that even demons evolve. It’s time to use more expensive repellents.”

“What is the price?”

“It’s expensive. As the monsters evolve, the price goes up.”

“I will take care of it.”

“Is there any way?”

“yes.”

“If it’s a risky way, you don’t have to do it.”

“It’s not particularly dangerous. A little annoying?”

Awakeneds are awakened when they are pursued, but the monsters that come all the time were also annoying.

Having lived a life of escape, I knew very well how to drive out demons. No matter how strong a villain is, eating, eating and sleeping doesn’t change.

In fact, it was annoying later on, so he killed all the tribes that found the monster.

“Yes, please.”

“It won’t take long.”

I went into the room, changed into comfortable sweatpants, grabbed the truck key, and went outside.

The extermination mechanism is ultimately about expelling low-grade harmful monsters.

“Would it be about level 3 harmful?”

My son went out around noon until it was dinnertime and there was no news. Seeing that she had left her smartphone as a means of communication, Lee Young-hee was not alone in her worries.

“Are you okay?”

“It will be fine.”

“Isn’t that overkill? It could be that you are trying to act hastily to show your changed side.”

“It wasn’t like that.”

Choi Jin-gyu drooled while thinking of his son, who was calm as if he was going out for a drink in the neighborhood.

“You took it to the truck. You should have asked where you were going!”

At the voice of Lee Young-hee, who had become quite impatient, Choi Jin-gyu shook his head.

“Let’s wait a little longer.”

Then the sound of a truck engine was heard outside.

“Junho!”

Seeing Lee Young-hee getting up from her seat and sprinting, Choi Jin-gyu followed.

When the couple came out, they could see a huge object loaded in the truck’s hold.

“Hey, what is that?”

“Can you turn on the light?”

Lee Young-hee wanted to ask what it was right away, but after checking what it was, she turned on the light in the front yard to ask for water.

And I was about to faint.

“Me, a wild boar?”

A huge wild boar, twice the size of a normal wild boar, was lying in the luggage compartment.

“It is an eco-friendly pest control device. Wait.”

“·················ogue.”

When Choi Jun-ho went inside, the couple left alone looking at the wild boar with blank eyes.

The wild boar, which corresponds to the 3rd level of remains, was a ferocious monster that even experienced hunters risked their lives for.

The tough leather that can withstand the toughness and bullets that can’t be hidden is the one that causes the most damage to farmhouses.

But catching it

At that time, the body of the wild boar shook.

“Gee, I’m dreaming now. Aren’t you alive?”

Lee Young-hee, who had become contemplative, trembled. Choi Jin-gyu didn’t even express it, but it felt like his heart was dropping.

After a while, Lee Young-hee said, holding the son who was carrying a basin.

“Hey, Junho! Isn’t that monster alive?”

“Did you get it clean?”

“You are crazy now! Why did you bring the monster alive!”

“it’s okay.”

Choi Jun-ho put the wild boar in the luggage compartment on the floor.

“·················ogue.”

The couple was at a loss for words when they saw their son casually laying down a wild boar that could weigh several hundred kilograms, or maybe even a ton.

A more surprising sight was next. When Choi Jun-ho grabbed the boar’s neck and turned it, the neck rotated once with a crackling sound.

Quik! Quy!

The wild boar, with its eyes wide open, tried to make a fuss, but it stopped breathing in an instant.

After that, he began to receive the dripping blood into the basin.

“·················ogue.”

Choi Jin-gyu and Lee Young-hee opened their mouths at the unbelievable sight.

The monster that we should avoid the most when we meet in the mountains is being treated like a toy in his son’s hands.

“This wild boar is a Level 3 Relic, so if you spray your blood on the orchard, the other low-grade ones will not be able to access it.”

If you hang the bones, they know there are higher-ranking predators and they won’t approach you.

“After all, the repellent device mimics the body odor of a higher-ranking predator. It’s a structure where prey doesn’t wander where there are predators.”

Choi Jun-ho’s hand dug into the boar’s stomach. Then, wanting to dig inside, he pulled out his red-stained hand and brought it to his mouth to lick the blood. A deep smile appeared on his lips as if he had tasted the delicacy.

“ah! The blood is fresh. The smell and taste are strong. It is sure to be effective as an extermination device.”

“·················ogue.”

The couple did not say anything as they saw their son smiling brightly with his bloody mouth.
