[Stop trying to catch Stardust.]
“Uh…”
I let out a sigh.
Somehow, the internet seems to be in my favor.
After scouring various news sites and online communities, it looks like it’s true.
“…”
Is it because I’ve only been eliminating villains?
Sure, I’d have no arguments if someone called me an anti-hero.
Anti-hero, is that right? A villainous hero, whatever.
“…This is troubling.”
Yes, it’s problematic.
If public opinion of me keeps improving, that could turn sentiment against Stardust, who is pursuing me.
That can’t happen.
Stardust. The true protagonist of this world and my most cherished character.
Hunting down these villains is all for her sake.
She’ll never know that, though.
My goal is to make sure she walks a path strewn with flowers.
I hope she can live well without being worn down by life-threatening battles or diminishing her character.
Still, she is the protagonist.
She needs to face some trials to become stronger.
“Hmm…”
What should I do?
How to flip the positive public opinion of me and still ensure her growth?
That’s it.
My official debut as a villain.
“…Hmm.”
I haven’t only read [Stardust!] in the world of superhero comics.
I’ve also seen plenty of other superhero comics and movies.
One thing they all have in common is an ‘impressive villain.’
Yes, and I plan to eliminate all those memorable villains from this story.
Hmm.
If this were a real comic, I’d catch a lot of flak for that.
Focusing too much attention on a single main villain.
[Stardust!] is different from other comics; it’s the one I enjoyed the most.
Actually, I’m more than an enthusiast; I devoured it maniacally.
So, since I’m living in this world now,
I should be the one to help it soar even higher, right?
I am the one who loves this world more than anyone.
As someone who has deeply admired the hero from the bottom of my heart,
I will become the villain of this world.
A real villain. A truly bad guy.
Honestly, what can a common man like me do?
But I have read countless superhero stories before I possessed this body.
The next incident I orchestrate will be my debut,
and it has to be memorable.
“…Get the bombs, save the people…”
I’m going to be busy.
***
At the Korean Hero Association office.
“Miss Stardust! Turn on the TV now!”
Shin Haru, who was examining doc*ments in the office, was interrupted by someone rushing in.
“What’s happening?”
“That villain, that villain is hijacking the broadcast and airing it right now!”
“What?”
She quickly turned on the office TV, which was on the wall.
Against a black background, a man appeared on the screen.
His face was half-covered by a gray mask.
He began to speak.
[“Good day, citizens.”]
And so, the enigmatic identity of the veiled villain was about to be revealed.
