『Karma: Good increases by 1.』
My Good Karma ticked upward. It wasn't exactly a surprise; killing low-quality villains almost always yielded a boost.
'But mindlessly slaughtering every villain I see isn't always the best move.'
In this system, killing low-tier F- or E-rank villains could actually penalize your Karma. At that level, they were barely distinguishable from ordinary civilians with bad attitudes.
'However, members of high-profile organizations like this are the exception to the rule.'
Infamous groups like Ophid didn't just take anyone off the street. To wear their mark, recruits had to pass depraved initiation tests—murdering their own families, killing children, or proving their worth through exceptional, violent abilities. The absolute dregs of humanity naturally gravitated toward one another.
-Behind you! Behind you, behind you!!
Makina’s voice shrieked in my ear. I turned with deliberate slowness. I had already felt the presence of someone lunging for my blind spot.
"Die!!"
A man, his face twisted in a mask of rage, swung a heavy axe toward my head.
'Shield.'
I raised my left arm. Makina responded instantly, the nano-plates of my gauntlet shifting and expanding into a reinforced buckler. Klang! The axe rebounded with a shower of sparks, failing to leave even a dent. The attacker stumbled, thrown off balance by his own momentum.
"Idiot."
My right gauntlet morphed into a high-caliber barrel. I squeezed the trigger, unloading a burst of fire into his chest. He was shredded into Swiss cheese, collapsing dead before a scream could even escape his throat.
-Third floor is clear! Let’s head to the fourth and keep the party going! Wipe 'em all out!
This facility on the outskirts of Seoul had eight floors in total. From the outside, it looked like a mundane trading company office. In reality, it was a hornet's nest. Ophid's boss would undoubtedly be at the very top, on the eighth floor.
'The boss won't come down to meet me.'
He was likely glued to his monitors, watching me butcher his men on CCTV. He’d realized by now that I was no ordinary intruder and was probably waiting for me to tire myself out as I fought my way through his subordinates.
I ascended to the fourth floor. A group of waiting goons rushed me the moment the elevator doors opened. I’d anticipated the ambush and handled them with practiced ease.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art [Cheonma Sin-gong] — Heavenly Demon Overlord Step [Cheonma Pa-bo].
I slammed my foot onto the concrete floor.
A shockwave of oppressive Heavenly Demon Qi erupted outward, paralyzing the surrounding enemies with sheer terror.
'Blade.'
-On it!
A razor-sharp blade extended from the back of my hand. I spun in place, becoming a whirlwind of black steel.
Howling black winds burst from the blade, shredding everyone within range. The hallway was transformed into a literal bloodbath in seconds. No Karma gain this time; I’d have to kill at least a hundred of these small fries to move the needle.
I continued my climb to the fifth floor.
Four D-rank villains attempted a coordinated strike. They were significantly tougher than the grunts below, but they couldn't stop my advance.
-This is incredible! So much fun! Kill them! Kill them all!
'Why are you enjoying this more than I am?'
-Because it’s fun!
"......"
I was reminded once again that Makina was no ordinary spirit. Despite her cute appearance and bubbly personality, she had a disturbing thirst for violence. She possessed zero empathy for humans; to her, the massacre of millions would be no more significant than an online game.
Of course, I didn't plan on lecturing her. As long as she remained obedient, her moral compass was irrelevant to me.
I reached the sixth floor.
A woman with short, reddish-brown hair and heavy makeup stood waiting for me. She was undeniably beautiful—the kind of woman who actually looked better with a sharp, short cut. Her tailored suit gave her the air of a high-powered executive, marred only by the long, wicked whip she gripped in her hand.
"To think you’d make it this high... the useless idiots below really are good for nothing. I can't believe I actually have to get my hands dirty for this."
-Whoa! The first woman we’ve seen in this place!
Makina sounded excited. I didn't say it aloud, but my own pulse quickened at the sight of her.
Makina immediately pulled up her profile.
Name: Park Seol. C-rank villain. Bounty: 1.82 billion won. Weapon: Whip. Specialty: Electric Whip.
And she was a solid C-cup.
"Do you think that armor makes you invincible? It might have worked on the trash downstairs, but against me, it’s just a fancy coffin."
Park Seol snapped her whip against the floor. Crack! The chilling sound echoed through the sterile corridor.
"That’s actually kind of sexy," I remarked.
A predatory smile curled on her lips.
"Let’s see if you’re still saying that in a minute."
"Oh, I’ll be saying it over and over."
I began walking toward her. She scoffed and lashed out. I didn't dodge; I simply caught the whip mid-air with my bare hand.
I yanked with all my strength, but she didn't move. It wasn't a matter of raw power—the whip itself was enchanted to resist being pulled or taken.
"You caught it? How remarkably stupid of you."
Her smile widened into something truly sadistic.
"Bind him."
At her command, the whip began to wriggle like a living serpent, coiling itself tightly around my torso and limbs.
"Now, feel the thrill."
She gripped the handle with both hands, and I saw her mana flare as she sent a massive surge of electricity through the length of the whip.
Bzzzzt!
The high-voltage current surged through my suit and into my body. It had absolutely no effect. Thanks to my [Lightning] trait, ordinary electricity felt like a mild tickle at best.
"Gaaahhh!!"
I let out a blood-curdling scream, putting on an Oscar-worthy performance of agony. Park Seol looked on with visible satisfaction.
'Hey, Makina. You holding up?'
-Huh? This is nothing. There’s no way I’d be affected by a basic elemental attack while I’m merged with you.
Hearing that, I dropped the act instantly.
I unleashed my own Lightning.
My superior current devoured hers instantly, reversing the flow and sending it back toward the source.
"Kyaaaah!!"
Park Seol let out an ear-piercing shriek as she collapsed to the floor. The whip went limp and uncoiled. I approached her fallen form. She was twitching from the aftershocks but she wasn't in critical condition—she likely had some level of electrical resistance herself.
"What... what kind of power is that...?!"
"Wouldn't you like to know? By the way, this pose you’re in... very sexy."
Her black panties were visible beneath the hem of her suit skirt. She scowled as she noticed my blatant staring.
"No... you aren't thinking what I think you are, are you? You aren't a hero?"
"Does this devil mask look like a hero's to you? Sexy."
"You bastard! Die!"
She pursed her lips and spat at me—a poison needle aimed directly for my eyes. It bounced harmlessly off my visor.
"There are no gaps in my defense. And that fiery spirit? Very sexy."
Clank!
The armor plating over my groin retracted, and my member sprang out, fully erect. Her face went pale at the sight of the massive club.
"G-get it away from me!"
"Sexy."
"Get back!"
"Sexy."
"You're a goddamn psycho!"
"Sexy."
I stripped her efficiently. She clearly put a lot of work into her maintenance—she had a killer body. Her pussy was completely hairless. I grabbed her by the knees, spread her wide, and drove into her bright pink slit.
"Agh! It— it hurts...! Get off me! Get off!"
I reached up to grope her breasts. Even through the gauntlets, I could feel their incredible softness—a side effect of the [Fiendish Clown Mask] fused with my armor.
"Ack! Aack! Haaack!"
She continued to scream, but I knew no one was coming to her rescue.
"I like your voice too. Sexy."
"You crazy piece of shit...!! Aaack!"
I activated Sexual Sensitivity Boost, and her pussy began to flood with moisture almost immediately.
Squelch.
Her face flushed at the wet sound. Shame and rage fought for dominance on her features, which only served to excite me further. I squeezed her hard and began to pound deep. Thud. Thud. I made sure to bottom out against her cervix with every stroke.
'Makina.'
-Yeah?
'The CCTV caught all of this, didn't it? Hack the server and wipe the last ten minutes.'
-Is that really necessary? Your face is covered.
'My dick isn't. And this isn't exactly a generic dick—they’ll definitely use it to ID me later. So delete the footage. ...And send a copy to my personal phone first.'
-Ugh, you’re such a pain. Couldn't you just skip the rape for once?
'How could I see a woman like this and not claim her?'
-Sigh. If the Lady only knew what you were up to.
'Don't you dare tell your mother. You’ll learn what real hell is like. I’m a man of my word.'
-Fine, I won't. But what about her? If she tells people you did this, it’s all for nothing.
'I’m not killing her. And besides, who’s going to believe a villain? Going to the police or the Association would just be turning herself in.'
She was trapped. If she wanted revenge, she’d have to come for it herself in the shadows.
"I'm going!"
"N-no...! Not inside! Please, not inside!"
"I’m a creampie specialist!"
"You monster...!! Hnngh!"
I finished deep inside her and stood up. The release left my head feeling clear and focused.
Park Seol shuddered on the floor, trying to find the strength to rise.
'Just go to sleep.'
I delivered a sharp chop to the back of her neck. She blacked out instantly, her breasts and pussy still exposed to the cool air.
I thought about it for a moment and then dragged her into a nearby office, leaving her on a sofa.
-Just kill her. It’s cleaner. Why the sudden change of heart?
'She might come for me later. Then I get to fuck her again. It’s a waste to kill a beauty like that.'
-......
I made my way to the seventh floor.
I neutralized everyone I encountered until I found a locked room at the end of the hall. Inside were several children tied to chairs—seven in total, all under the age of ten.
-Organ trafficking?!
'No. Organs are worthless in this world.'
With high-level potions and healing magic available, the wealthy preferred medical solutions over risky black-market transplants. There was simply no demand. Human trafficking, however, was a different story.
"What’s your name?" I asked the closest boy. He was covered in bruises and trembling, but he answered through his fear.
"Shin Ji-hoon..."
He had clearly been taught that silence resulted in a beating.
Now that I had a name, I pulled up his status.
An Awakened child.
The reasons for snatching young Awakeners were always grim. They were either used as ritual sacrifices or brainwashed into child soldiers for syndicates. Either way, their future had been sealed the moment they were taken.
"Stay quiet. And don't move," I commanded.
I stepped back out and closed the door.
-What? You aren't going to kill them? Are you playing hero now?
'Hero my ass. There’s no need to kill them. They're tied up and powerless. Besides, killing them would actually hurt my Karma.'
I had just worked hard to raise my Good Karma; I wasn't about to waste it on a bunch of kids.
'...But I might as well play the part while I'm here.'
-A hero? You’re a little far gone for that title.
'The world has room for dark heroes. I might start doing this more often when I’m bored.'
I finally climbed to the eighth floor.
There was only one room here: the President’s Office.
The boss's lair.
The moment I pushed the doors open, a massive prehistoric lizard charged at me. The sheer force of the impact sent me flying backward, and I rolled across the floor before springing back to my feet.
-A raptor! It’s a goddamn raptor!
Makina sounded genuinely freaked out. It was a fair reaction to seeing an extinct predator in the middle of an office building.
"Impressive work making it this far. You must have slaughtered quite a few of my men... but now it’s time for the bill. I’m going to chew you up, bones and all."
The raptor opened its jaws, a gravelly male voice echoing from its throat.
Ji Seong-o.
The boss of Ophid, an A-rank villain with a 12 billion won bounty. Known as the 'Rookie Killer,' his ability allowed him to transform into various dinosaurs.
'He’s an A-rank villain on paper, but his actual combat strength is B-grade at best.'
Villain rankings were a mix of power and criminal records. If you committed enough atrocities, you could be bumped up to A-rank even without the strength to match. Ji Seong-o was exactly that kind of villain.
Thud. Thud.
The raptor loomed closer, its mouth gaping wide as it spat a massive fireball directly at me.
