Being a Villain is My True Calling

The livestream a streamer had inadvertently captured.

“Hey guys, check out this fancy hotel! When would I ever get a chance to come to a place like this?”

Originally, he had been invited to praise and promote Congressman Lee Doo-geub, the event’s host.

“Good evening, everyone.”
“Whoa…”

However, due to Maker’s sudden intrusion, instead of promotion, he ended up extensively broadcasting Maker’s raid on the party venue.

‘This is a YouTube jackpot!!’

[Did you all see Maker’s rampage this time?]
[Damn Maker was so satisfyingkkk]

Unable to miss this as a broadcaster, the man kept streaming without stopping.

And so, news of Maker’s attack spread to the citizens, and communities predictably erupted with discussions about the incident.

[Honestly, even though Maker is a villain, he made some valid points.]
[The association is really incompetent, deploying so many heroes yet still getting robbed?]
[Lmao they’re always whining about lacking manpower yet all the heroes were there kkk]

The public’s heated reactions far exceeded expectations.
Their responses largely fell into three categories:

Those criticizing the current system, disappointment over Lee Doo-geub’s misdeeds, and Maker’s fans.

Seriously, why were there so many heroes deployed there?

The loudest voices were those voicing grievances against the association’s incompetence and the current system.

Honestly, just deploying a few more heroes in each district would make things safer.

 

While the heroes are out partying and drinkingkkk citizens are shedding tears of bloodkkk how admirable.

 

So injuring civilians is fine, but not the elite since they’re money trees?kkkkk

Witnessing the sheer number of heroes through the livestream, coupled with Maker’s subsequent remarks, had infuriated the public.

‘A mere 50 or so. Not simply security personnel, but actual registered heroes.’

‘Since when did heroes start congregating in such numbers? At ordinary civilian events, you’re lucky to even spot one or two.’

‘When did heroes start moonlighting as glorified bodyguards for the elite?’

Each statement and gesture seemed calculated to provoke public outrage.

Honestly, aren’t heroes just incredibly lazy?

 

For real, they’ll just run away if it’s even a bit difficult or a high-rank villain appears kkk

 

Let’s put it this way, if we were the ones hosting an auction like that instead of some powerful elite, we’d be torn apart by villains even more easily.

While not outright defending Maker, the prevailing public sentiment didn’t seem overtly hostile toward him either.

Even if Maker’s actions were extreme, it feels like there was some deeper meaning behind them.

Of course, not all responses agreed with that sentiment.

Wasn’t he just spouting nonsense trying to justify his escape?

 

He’s a villain too, so why are people siding with him? Are you really cheering a murderous villain for saying the right things in the end?

 

You idiots kkk if that many heroes were deployed, either the auction item was incredibly precious or there was at least some other reason for their presence kkk

 

It’s all just incitement, you fools. Why would a villain care about us? Geez, bunch of dimwits.

Some users remained unswayed by the heated atmosphere.

They produced posts claiming the association and heroes likely had valid reasons, and that Maker was ultimately just a villain.
However, they were quickly bombarded by the already frenzied masses, forcing them to delete their posts.

Shut the fuck up with your association shilling and get lost kkkkk

 

No matter what you say!!!! We will NEVER!!!! Like the heroes!!!!! You bastards kkkkk

To the already enraged multitudes, such posts were perceived as merely shielding the heroes and association.

The rich and the poor, the elite and the rest – this perceived discrimination had become a trigger, fueling the public’s unrelenting outrage.

[Honestly, I’m so disappointed after thinking this congressman was a good person]

And among them, there were many who expressed disappointment in Lee Doo-geub as well.
A congressman praised as virtuous, yet committing such deeds behind the scenes!

I was quite shocked seeing him casually assaulting someone like that..

 

But the assault itself wasn’t the only issue, think about when Maker threw those paper wads at people.

 

Just from the brief glimpses, the alleged crimes were terrifying: murder, child sex trafficking, money laundering, infidelity, corruption, bribery, and likely more.

Of course, most of those alleged crimes were Maker’s fabrications, but the users had no way to know that.
They could only express their shock at Lee Doo-geub’s appalling conduct.

I heard he was planning to run in the next election.

 

So was this whole auction just a publicity stunt for his election campaign? And the money raised was supposedly being donated to the underprivileged or whatever…

 

That money was probably never properly donated either kkk

 

Ahkkk he was just planning to ‘donate’ it all to his own impoverished self kkkkkkk

Amid this avalanche of inflammatory content, the biggest beneficiaries were the internet trolls.

But for real, the Heroes Association getting rolled by a single villain organization is just kkkkk

 

Don’t insult our toad king!!

 

The only thing those hero bastards are good for is jㅈ kkkkkkk

These were the very individuals who normally struggled to get any traction, routinely blocked for their antics.

However, thanks to Maker, they were finally receiving the attention and aggro they so desperately craved amid the ensuing chaos.

They proceeded to further exacerbate the pandemonium by persistently inserting themselves into every discussion.
And so, the major community sites descended into complete anarchy.

Amidst this situation, Maker’s dedicated fans were…

So many juicy topics today!
…relatively tame compared to other community users.

 

Sharing Maker oppa’s outfit from today’s raid!!

 

Kyaaa…do villain organizations have costume departments? Why does he dress so well?

 

That uniform with the whip…? Damn, that’s totally my type…

 

Oppa!! If you’re reading this, wear a harness!! Please a harness!!!

In the female user-dominated Maffia, they busied themselves capturing Maker’s every move frame-by-frame and savoring his voice while indulging in the plethora of fresh content.

Maker oppa’s voice lowered like that is so sexy!! Insanely sexy I’m telling you!!!

 

Seriously, blessings upon that unnamed streamer who livestreamed this…

As a villain, obtaining proper photos or videos of Maker was understandably difficult compared to other subjects.

Even when Narin shared the highest quality footage she could find, mere CCTV or hacked camera clips couldn’t fully satisfy their desires.

So when high-definition moving footage of Maker suddenly emerged like a savior, even the usually reserved users couldn’t help getting a bit excited over this rare treat.

This Maker guy just has that indescribable charm kkk

 

Maker huang is too much.

And the situation in Maker’s dedicated gallery wasn’t too different either.

Seriously oozing charisma kkkkk

 

Fact: Maker is normalizing this nation.

 

Maker huang is too much.

 

Oppa you’re so coolㅠㅠpewㅠㅠㅠ

They adored how Maker freely expressed the very grievances they harbored.
A vicarious indulgence in actions they could never commit themselves.

Thanks to this vicarious satisfaction, Maker’s fanbase only continued growing.

Why did you step on a guy this time? Why did you step on a guy this time? Why did you step on a guy this time?…

 

Why not tentacles, Maker? Why not tentacles, Maker? Why not tentacles, Maker? Why not tentacles, Maker?…

 

Stay true to your profession, baby Maker!!
^Huh?

 

Maker huang is too muuuuuch!!!!

While he inevitably couldn’t satisfy everyone, leaving some to voice their disappointment, the overall situation was far more chaotic than before.

Meanwhile, at the Heroes Association headquarters.

“Hello? We meet again, Phantom Luna?”
“…I suppose so.”

Phantom Luna briefly glanced at the man before her.

“So why did you summon me? Your name was…”
“Han Jihyeok, hero name Optimus.”
Already forgotten? I’m a bit hurt, you know?
Watching the chuckling man, Chise suppressed the urge to sigh exasperatedly.

“Just state your business.”

Optimus had requested a private audience with Phantom Luna.
Upon hearing this, Kato and Suzuki had vehemently objected, insisting on joining, but:

‘I’ll go alone. Kato is still recovering, and after failing that special mission, I can’t risk further embarrassment.’

After rejecting Suzuki and Kato’s kind offer, Chise ultimately chose to go alone.

“Alright~ This atmosphere is too intimidating for other chatter.”

Laughing nonchalantly in acknowledgment, Optimus produced a document and showed it to Chise.

“This is…?”
“A temporary residency extension.”
“What does it mean?”

Chise’s puzzled expression prompted Optimus to meet her gaze as he continued.

“It’s an invitation to remain with the Korean association as one of our heroes, even after your exchange program ends.”

“…Change my affiliated association?”

While casually phrased, Optimus’ sincere expression made it clear this was no idle remark.
Chise’s eyes widened in surprise.
