Chapter 416: Human World [R-18] (54)
I thought I’d be able to return to Korea right away, but that wasn’t happening. I was being held up by agents dispatched from the World Ability User Association.
Along with a full investigation into the recent incident, my actions in Belfast had become a problem.
‘I mean, you could’ve just fucked them in moderation.’
‘I have no regrets.’
‘Shut up, and don't cause any more trouble this time.’
Bi-yeon nagged from my side, but what could I do? The load was already shot.
Besides, the type and number of my abilities were an even bigger issue for them. I had far exceeded the number of abilities a single human could wield.
Just then, the door opened.
“A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jin.”
A foreign woman I’d never seen before offered a polite greeting. She wore a stylish suit and an association badge with a golden nameplate.
She was tall with a slender waist, and her blonde hair was striking.
Her age… twenty-five? Twenty-seven at most.
“I am Elizabeth Howard, from the World Ability User Association’s Special Investigation Bureau.”
She spoke in a crisp tone, straightening her posture. She carefully placed a stack of documents she had brought with her onto the table.
“We originally intended to ask you a few questions to investigate the truth of the Belfast incident, but we have, in fact, already gathered most of the information. So, I’ll get straight to the point.”
She was more direct than I expected.
“According to our findings, you are primarily a Physical-Type ability user. In addition, we have reports of a sex-based special ability confirmed in Belfast, as well as fire and wind-based abilities used during your fight with Alexander… for a total of four abilities.”
Elizabeth paused for a moment and looked me carefully in the eye.
“By any chance… do you possess any other abilities?”
I thought for a moment. There was no reason to reveal everything, but there was no point in hiding what they already knew.
“That’s all. But let me make a correction. The wind ability isn’t mine. It belongs to a spirit.”
“A spirit… you say?”
“Bi-yeon.”
As I called her name, the air swirled and Bi-yeon materialized.
Elizabeth flinched, her eyes widening.
“A-a ghost…?”
“Not a ghost, a spirit. Watch closely.”
With a sly grin, Bi-yeon swirled around Elizabeth, kicking up a gust of wind. For a moment, the woman’s body lifted lightly into the air, and her skirt flipped up.
And—
“Oh, a thong?”
“Kyaa!”
Elizabeth shrieked, frantically grabbing her skirt as her face turned beet red.
“P-please, that’s enough! I’ve confirmed it!”
Satisfied, Bi-yeon slowly lowered her back down.
I gave Bi-yeon a thumbs-up.
‘A shame. I wanted to admire how the thong string was so neatly buried between her pussy lips a little longer.’
Bi-yeon shrugged and whispered back.
‘Two buckets of chicken.’
‘Okay. Two buckets, extra crispy.’
Our eyes met, and we burst into quiet laughter.
After that, the questions were just formalities.
“Thank you for your cooperation…”
She glared at me, looking completely drained. Bi-yeon had been teasing her relentlessly the entire time.
‘Heehee, ten buckets of chicken~’
‘You said she was a virgin, right?’
‘Yep, I’m sure of it.’
It didn’t seem like I could fuck her right now, but just knowing she was a virgin was a pretty good haul.

Next on the agenda was an invitation to Leopold’s royal palace.
Honestly, I didn’t have the slightest desire to go, but I had things to collect, so I couldn’t refuse. Amidst the chaotic atmosphere, I found myself standing in a corner of the royal party hosted by Leopold.
Just then, a man approached me quietly and whispered in a low voice.
“His Highness, Leopold, wishes for a private audience.”
I glanced at him and gave a short nod.
“Lead the way.”
I followed the man and quietly left the banquet hall. He walked quickly down a corridor inside the castle, pushed open an old door, and entered a secret passage.
“This way.”
He stopped in front of an old stone door. I opened it and stepped inside, while he silently retreated to his post.
The room inside was decorated like a small, secluded study. Amidst the soft glow of gas lamps, Leopold was waiting with a glass of whiskey in his hand.
“Oh! My brother, you’ve finally come.”
“Cut the ‘brother’ crap. Talk like you normally do, or you’ll fucking die.”
“Ahem… my apologies.”
The man owed me a great deal for what happened during the Belfast incident. Especially for the food. He also knew better than anyone what my power was like.
“More importantly, did you bring what you promised?”
“Of course. Here.”
Leopold pushed a heavy box across the desk. I silently opened it and checked its contents. Inside, a transparent, palm-sized orb glowed serenely.
“This is the mental-type artifact?”
“Yes. Its name is the Dream Demon’s Eye. It’s been kept in our royal family for a long time. Records show it’s been used twice… but there’s no mention of how exactly it was used. It only has one use left.”
Leopold warned me in a serious tone.
“However, it’s a forbidden item by the Association, so you must never use it openly. If you get caught, I’ll be in trouble too.”
“Got it.”
The orb was colder than I expected, and a faint vibration coursed through my hand the moment I held it.
Leopold watched me cautiously before continuing.
“With this, our debt is settled, right?”
“Right.”
“On another note, have you considered working with me? I can guarantee you’ll be well compensated.”
“I hate troublesome things. But since you gave me something this valuable, I’ll help you out for cheap someday.”
Leopold narrowed his eyes and spoke carefully.
“Then… may I make a request right now?”
“What is it?”
“I want you to wipe out a villain organization. And… I want you to secretly destroy all the data their boss is holding onto.”
“You seem to have some history with them.”
Leopold coughed and averted his gaze.
“They know about a past I need to bury to become king. If that data gets out… forget the throne, I’ll have a hard time even keeping my title as a noble.”
“What’s the organization’s name?”
“Blackline,” Leopold said in a low voice.
“Alright. Send me their location. I’ll take care of it now.”
“Huh? Now?”
“Yeah. This party is boring anyway. I’ll handle it before I leave.”
Leopold pulled a tablet from inside his coat and handed it to me.
“All the information related to them is on there.”
I took the tablet and checked the information. Blackline had a hideout on the outskirts of London. The scale was larger than I expected. Two A-Rank ability users, seven B-Class, and numerous C-Rank members.
“I’ll go take care of it, then.”
“I’d appreciate it if you could handle it as quietly as possible.”
“Can’t promise that. Anyway, good luck.”

Before taking on Leopold’s request, I made a quick trip to the world of Blazing Flames of the Battlefield. There, I picked up a full-body combat suit, a mask to cover my face, and some hair dye.
‘To think the suit cost a whole 1,000 points.’
It felt like a bit of a waste, but I had no intention of revealing my identity.
Finally, I took out a single pill and tossed it into my mouth. It was a red hair dye that glowed faintly.
The person in the mirror was already someone completely different.
My hair was dyed red, and I changed my eye color with contact lenses.
Once I put on the suit and the mask, no one would be able to recognize me.
“Time to get moving.”
The moment my feet pushed off the ground, I shot through the night streets like a shadow. My target was the outskirts of London, a secret mansion belonging to Blackline, hidden away from the city’s surveillance network.
‘But… no matter how well I hide my identity, there are a lot of weird ability users in the world. For example, those who can track specific energies or sense auras.’
“That’s why I accepted this request as a light test. I wanted to see if I could be tracked even with my identity hidden. Of course, I have no intention of using my abilities openly.”
I planned to solve this with my physical abilities alone.
The city lights gradually faded, and I soon launched myself toward the outskirts of London.
Behind a quiet forest, a lavish mansion came into view. The security was quite tight. Guards were stationed from the gate to the rooftop, and surveillance cameras were cleverly concealed.
‘A total of 23.’
Two A-Rank users on the third floor, with the rest scattered appropriately across the first and second floors.
I quietly drew a single spear. Then, I walked confidently toward the mansion’s main gate.
“What! Who are you?!”
As a guard approached, drawing his weapon, I answered curtly.
“Delivery.”
“……What?”
“Delivering tickets to hell.”
My body shot forward like the wind. The tip of my spear, extended in an instant, whipped through the air with a sharp whistle.
—Swish.
A spray of blood painted the darkness red. The guard’s head snapped back, his neck broken. Before the others could even pull out their radios, I had already slammed my palm into the back of the second man’s head.
—Crack!
He collapsed with the sound of his neck bone breaking.
“Intruder!”
Too late. The alarm was already blaring. But it didn’t matter. I had no intention of being quiet anyway.
A massacre began at the front gate.
The C-Rank users who rushed me were nothing more than obstacles. Blood splattered and bodies piled up wherever my spear passed.
“You bastard! Where did you come from?!”
A B-Class fire user hurled a fireball at me. But I had already circled around to his side.
—Stab!
The tip of my spear pierced through his flank.
“Gah…!”
Leaving the man to collapse while vomiting blood, I ran toward the stairs.
Waiting on the second floor were four B-Class ability users. They had apparently noticed the chaos downstairs.
“It’s an intruder!”
“Where the hell did he come from?!”
But I simply swung my spear without a word. With my pure physical strength, without even using my abilities, B-Class fighters were no match for me.
—Crack! Thump!
The spearpoint pierced through the first man’s chest. The second man threw an ice spear, but I had already moved to his side and snapped his neck.
“M-monster!”
The third man tried to flee, but the spear I threw pierced him squarely in the back.
The last one spoke in a trembling voice.
“Who… who are you! What did we ever do to you!”
“If you’ve done something wrong, it’s your very existence.”
—Snap.
I closed the distance in an instant and twisted his neck.
Now, only the two A-Ranks on the third floor were left.
When I went up to the third floor, the two A-Ranks were already waiting. One was an electric-type, the other a rock-type.
The electric-type user gritted his teeth and spoke first.
“You… who sent you?”
I replied with a blank expression, as if looking at trash.
“One of your many dads off the street.”
“You son of a bitch!”
In that instant, both of them charged at me simultaneously. A spear of lightning flew from one side, while a wall of rock slammed in from the other.
But I just swung my spear in a wide arc.
—Fzzt!
The electric current was deflected. At the same time, the incoming rock shattered into pieces before it could even reach me.
“How…!”
“Impossible…”
“To think you’re A-Rank with this level of skill. Pathetic.”
I immediately dashed toward the electric-type. Before he could even dodge, the tip of my spear pierced his chest. There was no time to even breathe.
Next came the fist of the rock user from behind me.
I twisted my body to evade, simultaneously swinging the spear sideways.
The sharply honed tip accurately pierced his heart.
“Guh… s-such a monster…”
And with that, all of Blackline’s combatants were dealt with.

The underground archive.
The mansion’s basement was deeper than I thought. After descending three floors, I finally came upon a thick vault door.
I swung my spear and smashed it open.
Inside, countless files and photos were organized. I opened one of the folders and…
“Fuck.”
I could see at a glance why Leopold wanted to hide this.
Nude photos of him, videos of him spouting nonsense while high on drugs, pictures of orgies with the children of other nobles…
‘This is suddenly fucking disgusting.’
I gathered all the materials and burned them. I even sent a video of the burning evidence to him.
Finally, I set the entire mansion on fire. It was on the outskirts, so there wouldn’t be any collateral damage.
With the completely incinerated mansion behind me, I took one of the motorcycles that had been here and sped off.
‘Hey, you’re not thinking of doing anything weird, are you?’
“Haa. Honestly, I really wanted to screw over Leopold for showing me such disgusting shit… but this is reality, so I’ll hold back.”
‘Right, right~ Good job holding back. Good boy, my master.’
“Shut up. Before I reduce your chicken allowance.”
‘…My lips are sealed.’
Cutting through the night wind, the motorcycle disappeared into the darkness.
