I Became a Framed Villain

Episode 1 – Darkness

One day, the world suddenly turned upside down, and the mysterious and unknown era began.

An unidentified beast appears in the middle of the city, and various ‘concepts’ of the world are inhabited by people, and this ability begins to manifest.

Thanks to this, the years of chaos and darkness that lasted for a while.

Fortunately, the modern society, where order has been restored to a certain extent by the heroes, has created a space for isolating those who use mystery and the unknown for crime.

That’s the great prison where I’m imprisoned, ‘Karma’.

To be honest, I never imagined I would be imprisoned here.

I was always in a position to send prisoners here.

Well, I thought I would be able to leave soon.

I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding there was, but I believed that as the investigation proceeded, it would become clear that I was innocent.

“Defendant, I sentence Kang Ha-neul to death.”

However, it was my mistake.

“Your brother will execute within a month…”

“What?”

What was sentenced to me was a death sentence that had not been given in nearly ten years.

.

.

.

.

.

“Prisoner number 10156, visiting.”

What woke me up, lying dead in the cell, was the voice of the jailer, who seemed to be annoyed.

“……..”

“Come on, get ready, we’ll be leaving in a minute.”

Sending out-of-focus eyes to the guard, he frowned and turned his head as if displeased.

In fact, it doesn’t even do that.

I am the motherfucker who killed the number one hero right now.

‘How did this happen?’

Of course, at first, I too strongly insisted on injustice.

Even if the entire operating area was under control, would it make sense to have no witnesses?

Investigating Just Stara and the neutralized beast, I wondered if the approximate circumstances of the incident would come out.

In the first place, I don’t have the power or ability to kill her.

However, it was all in vain.

It was because the evidence that came out during the investigation and the few eyewitness accounts all pointed to me.

When I realized things were going wrong, it was too late.

There was nothing I could do about being imprisoned as a criminal in the first place, but surprisingly, no one listened to me.

The media had already defined me as a Justia murderer and were pouring out reports, and investigators only regarded my claim that the evidence was falsified as an unscrupulous villain’s nonsense.

Truly, the whole world was driving me alone.

Who the hell did this?

What kind of heartbreak is it that is tormenting me so much?

“Hello, senpai?”

The answer to that question was found in the meeting room he entered after a while.

“long time no see?”

“…tt.”

The white-haired boy I met in the meeting room with my hands and feet tied, and my older sister who is escorting him every day.

“Rumia, if you think it’s dangerous, you should call us right away? They’re waiting behind me besides me…”

“Don’t worry, Maru-san. I’m also entering the Hero Academy this year, right? Now I’m a full-fledged hero.”

Unlike usual, the name of the guy who is fiercely escorting his older sister, who has a relaxed expression, is Rumia Obse.

It is the ‘child of prophecy’ that is making a lot of noise in the world right now.

“So, see you later?”

As I stare at him helplessly, my older sister, who was about to leave the room with a worried expression after saying that, glances at me.

“Sister, I…”

“Shut up.”

“Ugh.”

I opened my mouth with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw, but as my sister recited in a cool voice, my whole body began to paralyze.

“You are the shame of my life.”

“…….”

“Then please die quietly.”

Thanks to that, my older sister leaves me with those words as I collapsed on the floor.

How is it that everyone sounds the same?

Hearing the sound I heard from the other two to my older sister also made me feel like my whole body was losing strength.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“…….”

“Stay still. I’ll help you.”

After lying on the floor for such a long time, I, miserably, got up from my seat after being supported by him.

“So, how are you?”

After somehow succeeding in sitting down, Rumia put on a worried expression and then knocked on the laptop she had taken out on the desk and asked a question.

“How about you, you’re making fun of me…”

I slowly opened my mouth while forcibly suppressing the anger that was boiling inside.

“How does it feel to have everything stolen from me?”

Suddenly, he changed his expression and found him with an eerie smile, and he froze.

“What are you talking about?”

Two days before my execution,

He started revealing his true colors to me for the first time.

.

.

.

.

.

“By the way, you’re not blind yet.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s really strange, that there was such a fresh time even for a senior in the sky…”

“Answer me!!!”

At the guy who kept talking nonsense while evading an answer, I couldn’t contain my anger any longer and screamed.

“It’s obvious, what are you talking about?”

Then, Lumia opened her eyes and started talking.

“Even though I was young, my childhood friend who promised to marry me,

The ex-girlfriend who followed you because she liked you even though she was a second-generation chaebol.

Besides, even a blood older sister.”

“you…..”

“It’s all been mine.”

It was only after hearing those words that I realized that the unfounded suspicions I had held for so long were true.

“Maybe on purpose?”

“And now that Justia-san has gone away… How heartbroken must you be.”

“All of this… did you really decorate it?”

Asking that with a bewildered expression, Lumia nodded her head with a soft smile.

“Manipulating information was a little more difficult than I thought. If I hadn’t prepared for it years ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of it.”

“……..”

“Oh, it was several times more difficult to make the seniors not convinced than that.”

Then, suddenly, he started patting my shoulder.

“Congratulations. Senior wasn’t suspicious or schizophrenic. I was really a black screen, and he just figured it out.”

“under.”

“Senior himself was worried too, right? Isn’t everything his delusion?

Yes.

As he said, the misfortune that came to me was not a coincidence.

The reason that the most precious girls suddenly betrayed me and Justia,

The fact that the positions of me and Justia continued to decrease,

Even that incident a few days ago.

It was all behind this guy.

“To me… Why are you doing this?”

Upon realizing that fact, the tremors in his body that had been continuing for a long time began to subside.

“What the hell did I do wrong?”

It was because when his anger crossed the threshold, his head started to get cold.

“What do you want? What is your purpose?”

A maddening hatred of this being who, for unknown reasons, had ruined my life and everything, made me cold.

And I didn’t miss that opportunity.

“Like you said, I was doubting myself because of that great acting ability.”

“Yeah, it looks like it.”

“Then why did you tell me everything in front of me now?”

This is truly your last chance.

It was the last chance to turn around to dig out all the truth from him.

“It’s an act with no benefit. It’s different from your previous style.”

“there.”

“So tell me. What the hell is the purpose, right now…”

“excuse me.”

But in spite of such a strong promise.

“It’s obvious.”

One word that came out of his mouth was enough to shake my mind again.

“My purpose is you.”

“What?”

.

.

.

.

.

“What kind of bullshit, is that?”

I looked at him with a confused expression and asked a question, and Lumia, who looked at me with a smile, started talking with a soft voice.

“Hey, senpai. What do you think makes a hero?”

“Don’t be shy, answer my question…”

“Senior, please answer me.”

I was instantly furious at those words, but Lumia’s expression looking at me was very serious.

“…Justice? Sacrifice? Willingness to help others?”

I wanted to get up from my seat right away, but if the interview ended like this, I was the only one at a loss.

Because of that, Lumia shook her head slowly as she gave a rough answer to match the rhythm of the guy.

“No. No, sir.”

“Then, what is it?”

When I asked a question with that abomination in my eyes, Lumia slightly tilted her head to the side and opened her mouth.

“It is the villain who completes the hero.”

And the stillness started.

“Isn’t that right, senpai? All famous heroes have their own villains.”

I stayed silent, wondering what the hell he was trying to say, and Lumia, who narrowed her eyes, began to talk lengthily.

“For example, bats have clowns. Spider humans are being hunted for their lives by goblins and poisons, and detectives have professors. Don’t you, senpai?”

“……?”

He understood what he was trying to say, but he also had some doubts.

Bats and Clowns? spider man? Detective?

Who the hell is this guy taking as an example?

As far as I know, there is no such hero.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I still have some bad habits from the past.”

Lumia raised her hand to express her apology as she was looking at him with a blank slate as she recalled her memories.

“Well, I guess you got the point though.”

“So, what does that have to do with your purpose?”

Looking at him like that, I thought my patience would slowly run out, so I raised my voice a little and asked a question.

– Sreuk…

“Please, sir.”

Lumia, who reached out and grabbed my hand, whispered with a creepy smile on her face.

“Please be my own villain.”

“…what?”

At first I thought I heard it wrong.

“Please be my archenemy.”

However, I soon realized that he was sincere.

“Hate me. Take my life. Please stand up against me.”

“what…”

“Please fight with me until the moment you die. Please be my own identity that always destroys me desperately.”

On the face of the guy who always had an innocent look on his face.

With those naive eyes that almost fooled me,

It was because there was something in it that transcended madness.

“Like the original.”

I couldn’t hear his last murmur, but I didn’t have time to pay attention to it.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Even if I had heard it anyway, it was obvious that I would not have understood it.

“If I explain it in an easy to understand way… it means that I like you to death, senior.”

“……..”

“The first time I saw you… Ever since we met.”

Hearing his further explanation, I was able to convince myself of that thought.

‘You were just a crazy bastard.’

The identity of the child of the self-proclaimed prophecy was a crazy bastard of homosexuality.

If so, there is only one thing I have to do now.

“Then why did you take away my colleagues…”

“Of course, isn’t it? The senior cared for me so that I could focus on me, not those rags.”

Take the time by mixing the words in moderation.

At the same time, I began to concentrate with all my might.

“So, what about Justia?”

“He was the one who should have died that day anyway. Of course you don’t understand yet…”

The chance is only once.

However, he was

Because it was a talent that Justia trusted in no one else.

“Anyway, what I want to say is…”

“This is a waste.”

“Hmm?”

After a brief pause, Lumia tilts her head as if in doubt as she says so in a triumphant voice.

“What do you mean, senpai?”

“Even though I’ve done this to you, it’s like I haven’t been able to steal everything I have.”

Then, after hearing my words, the guy quietly raised his eyebrows.

“It can’t be…?”

“Literally. There’s someone you haven’t taken away yet.”

Maybe he felt it too.

That my words aren’t just bluffing.

Yes.

It was a very short relationship, but I have never forgotten it.

The girl in my childhood who gave me as much of an opportunity in my life as Justia.

The mentor who instilled in me the dream of becoming a hero for the first time.

The driving force that allowed me to continue my heroic life no matter how much I wanted to quit.

Even though I don’t know what I’m doing now, or even if I’m alive.

“There’s no way that senpai could have such a person…”

“It’s a pity, Rumia.”

So, paradoxically, Rumia may know of its existence,

The last line of resistance of my spirit that cannot be taken away.

“You couldn’t take her away from me.”

Of course, just because you are referring to a relationship in the past that even life and death are unknown,

It’s not that I win.

I’ve already lost most of my life to this guy,

In two days, you will be executed for Justia’s murder.

What I can get now is

Read at readwn.com

Just a little mental victory and a brief agitation from that abomination in front of me.

If it were him, he would recover within seconds and drive me down.

– Sreuk…

But, it didn’t matter.

“Okay then, focus your eyes on the monitor.”

What I needed was that momentary agitation.

“Ahh…..”

Lumia’s eyes, who inadvertently shifted their gaze to her laptop at my words, slowly begin to blur.

“Stare at the spinning circle… yes… in that state slowly, very slowly… close your eyes.”

Then, at my command, Lumia slowly began to close her eyes.

“Yeah, as it is… deep… very deep… immersed.”

He knew from the beginning that he was wary of bringing his own laptop.

I’m not sure what I’ve been recording since

I’m sure it’s because I checked that the back of the laptop has a weird-looking mask pattern that I always wore as an accessory.

However, that was his defeat.

I, who has always been wary and suspicious of him, secretly installed a program activated by voice recognition on his laptop a few months ago.

By the way, you might have noticed something suspicious, but was it true that the ‘Child of Prophecy’ wasn’t really good at handling electronic devices?

“Hey, Rumia.”

“…..”

Well, even if I was a person who handled electronic devices normally.

It would have been difficult to spot a simple program that only reacts to voice and creates a whirling whirlpool.

“Hey, you bastard.”

“………”

The answer to how such a simple program could disable Lumia is very simple.

A supernatural age where people are inhabited by various ‘concepts’ of the world.

Because even me living in that era had one ‘concept’.

“…successful.”

The concept that dwells in me is ‘hypnosis’.

It was the ‘concept of hypnosis’.

.

.

.

.

.

“First of all, on the paper next to you, write a confession of everything you’ve done so far.”

“…..yes.”

“And as soon as you leave, turn in the paper and turn yourself in.”

“…..All right.”

After that, things seemed to go smoothly.

In fact, it was normal.

Because those who were once struck by my powers did not wake up from hypnosis on their own.

Even Lumia, who is said to be the next ranked number one, had no means of resisting me, who was hiding the underlying concept.

“……..”

“Lumia?”

Obviously it should have been

“Well, what are you doing? Come on, confess.”

Lumia, who held out a pen and reached for the paper, stopped moving for some reason.

– Burr…

At the same time, his hands began to tremble.

“I’m resisting…? But, how…”

As I stared blankly at his arm, which had even sprouted veins, I clenched my teeth and began to build a vein around my neck.

“Write your identity on this piece of paper.”

I don’t know what happened, but Lumia was clearly resisting my abilities.

If so, it’s a change of operation.

Even if confession is not accepted,

At the very least, he had to create evidence to convince everyone.

“Right now!! Write it on this piece of paper!!!”

Even if I have to reveal my hidden abilities to everyone.

Because of that, even if you get treated like a potential villain.

“Reveal your identity!!!”

Filled with such thoughts, with all my might, I gave orders more powerful than ever.

“hurry………”

He grabbed him, stopped shaking, and began to stare blankly at the paper.

“……..”

On the paper, there was a picture of the same mask drawn on Lumia’s notebook with its tongue sticking out.

“The protagonist always succeeds in resisting psychic powers.”

Let’s look away from that emoticon,

A creepy voice that started to ring in my ears.

“Isn’t that a cliché?”

whispering like that It was Lumia, who pressed the emergency call bell with a relaxed expression as if she was calculating all of this.

“By the way, you don’t even know how to use your abilities properly yet. Well, you’ll get better over time…”

At that time, my gaze was on the air, not on him.

[Skill: Intercept (LV1) has been used.]

To be precise, this translucent window that appeared in my sight a while ago.

“What is this?”

.

.

.

.

.

– Bang…!!!

“Rumia!!”

It was at that point that the door to the meeting room, which had been closed, was smashed and my sister burst into the room.

– Kwajik!!

“Ugh.”

Before I could even react, my older sister grabbed my head and put my head down on the desk, and within a second I was lying on the floor covered in blood.

“Rumia-san!!”

“Are you okay!?”

At the same time, a group of colleagues rushed into the room, and the guards were making threatening faces.

“This son of a bitch…”

“Get Rumia out of here…!”

Rumia, who had returned to her usual innocent expression, was hugged by her older sister with a frightened expression on her face.

Even so, my nerves were focused on only one place.

“This, what the hell…”

That day, Justia squeezed out her last strength and entrusted it to me,

It was a skill far beyond my expectations.

.

.

.

.

.

Meanwhile at that time.

“Then, shall we prepare soon?”

In a room full of darkness, a girl wakes up with her eyes shining.

“It’s time to get him out.”

“””…………..”””

At her words, the eyes of the people sitting at the table were also quietly shining.
