The Novel’s Villain

The static settled for a moment.

Hades broke the silence.

“Ugh, a drink...? ”

“Hmm."

Jinwoo nodded with a somewhat awkward look.

As he sits on the couch, Hades scours the kitchen, pulling out a cup. Hades' hands tremble with the cup.

Instead of being afraid of Jinwoo, he just seemed weak. Hades barely opens the refrigerator and barely pours the orange juice into the cup.

Jinwoo looked inside the room.

‘… something ordinary? ’

Hades felt like a typical family home. The atmosphere was like an American home. There was a kitchen and ordinary appliances.

Hades drops the cup with his trembling hands. Jinwoo tried orange juice. I felt a familiar taste of the Earth.

Hades' face is almost covered with leather. I'd rather be called the Undead.

His hair was thick. He seemed very familiar with the shrine that ruled death.

“You look tired. ”

“That's what life is about. ”

Jinwoo examines Hades with Maan of Information.

[SS +] Hades, God of the Underworld

One of Olympus' top three.

Ruling the underworld. Relationships with other gods are not so good because of his disposition.

His wife, Percy, is in grave distress. My mental pain is so severe that I lose weight and my body is extremely weak. If it weren't immortal, it would have been extinct long ago.

Special Technologies

[SS +] Immortal

He also resurrects when he is dead.

Hades' rank itself was obedient.

‘I'm worried about my wife.... ’

Hades' wife, Persephone, was a child of Zeus and Temeter. In other words, he was Hades' nephew.

Taking my nephew to be my wife was the ultimate tragedy. I couldn't even show my business card in the morning.

Hades picked a spot.

He doesn't seem to have the strength to continue the conversation.

Seeing Hades like that, Jinwoo also lost her motivation. Let's make it conversational first.

“Do you like beer? ”

Hades nods powerlessly.

“I'm gonna use the kitchen. ”

Jinwoo went to the kitchen and opened the sub-space. I made a dish with fresh ingredients. After making it, it was fun, so I made a lot.

I placed the drink on the table and took out the beer. It was' Oel Beer ’studied by Elves and Orcs together. I poured the beer into a cold glass like it was frozen.

Hades stared at the beer and drank the beer with difficulty. I also picked up some snacks.

“It's been a while... ”

Tears fall from Hades' eyes.

Jinwoo looked at the corner of the kitchen.

"Belongs to Earth. ’

There was a pile of cups. There were lots of other instant food. His stock appeared to be cereal or ramen.

Hades seems to have regained some energy since the beer went in. I thought I could have a normal conversation now.

Jin Woo said something directly.

“I want you to give me the afterlife. ”

“I wish I could. Khh, I'm so sick of this. Ugh. Do you know how hard it is to manage all those dimensions? Ugh.”

“Well... I'll listen. Don't cry. Tell me." ”

Hades' grief explodes.

Tears like chicken shit fell down.

Jinwoo patted Hades on the back with an awkward expression.

“Hehehe, if you fix it, it will explode again. If you feel like you've gained weight, you will fight and destroy everything again. Souls don't have room to meddle... and I have to start a war because god cubs are fun to build, and I have to clean up after them. I can't expand because I don't have any money...! ”

“Money? You didn't rip it off the planet? ”

Hades shakes his head.

It was an expression that it was not his/her actions.

“The afterlife is my place to rule and rule… but I don't have the right to operate it right now. ”

“Hmm?"

“Persephone… operates. ”

Hades trembles.

“She's my wife, but she's an amazing woman. Heh heh. After taking away the operating license, he made a fortune and robbed the underworld of its money. Even the underlings are excited because they're attached to the Percellés... ”

Hades was afraid of Persephone.

It is said that the afterlife is in severe famine because Fercelle is eager to fund the afterlife.

Cerberus said she was giving it to Hades to sneak the money out of Percellene's sight, but now she can't.

‘Hmm…. ’

I felt sorry for him.

“That crazy perverted lightning bolt... Hehe, I'm sorry. Zeus must have given the order. ”

In Greek mythology, it is written that Hades was kidnapped to the underworld by Persephone's beauty. But the reality seemed different.

“Weren't you the one who kidnapped her? ”

“Me? I'm busy. How can you do that? I was invited to Olympus for a drink and I'm on my way home... ”

Hades explained the situation to me at that time.

When he was invited to Olympus, he drank Nectar alone in the corner. When I drank alone, I got drunk.

The incident occurred when I opened the door to the afterlife to quietly return home.

Fercelle shows up out of nowhere, and he says he's a headbutter.

It was a lot of power.

He was unconscious at once.

When he regained consciousness, Persephone was down in the underworld and became his kidnapper.

The gods of Olympus have accused him of mediating. Afterwards, Persephone stepped up her influence in the underworld and said it was the same now.

‘It's a disaster.’

The conspiracy between Zeus and Persephone, the dispute over the operational rights of the afterlife.

On a global scale, the brother coveted his company and conspired with the woman to take control of it.

It was similar to the routine of the last drama I had ever seen.

So it was more interesting.

The story was so fun that I fixed the posture and looked at Hades.

“Is that why you lost everything? ”

“Hehe... I was so exhausted... I couldn't resist. ”

Hades says he escaped.

He was trapped in an empowered palace, just cleaning up after what Percy had done.

Persephone was now called the Queen of the Underworld and ruled the underworld.

Hades was planning to leave the afterlife and go to the underworld and move to another dimension.

“Zeus and the gods of Olympus… sealed the underworld. Persephone has the key. If we defeat her... we can clear a path back to the ground. ”

“Can you win? ”

“Khh, khh, khh, the poetry, the gods don't quarrel. It's almost immortal... so it only creates meaningless damage. That's why we have a proxy to cover our battles. ”

Hades sounds like an excuse in Jinwoo's ear.

I was afraid of the Percellés, but I was building the last of my pride.

“Representative?”

“Yes, warriors from the world of the gods. Persephone has many heroes. ”

But Hades smiles like a fool.

It made me look confident.

“But I also have a secret weapon that I've been working on for a long time. The Percellés must be on their guard. If you're aiming to be careless, I stand a chance. ”

“You want to get out of this mess. ”

Hades nods vigorously.

Nod falls short of its chin, but you put it back together skillfully.

The secret weapon was Hades' only hope.

A secret weapon. Is it like a robot? Jinwoo did not ask for details.

Tiri ri ri ri ri!

Then the alarm went off.

Hades died as soon as he heard the alarm.

“Ugh... Work hours... ”

“Why don't you take a break? ”

“When I rest... the dimensions wither away. Khh... The underworld is a money-grubbing ghost. Basically, the dead don't bring anything. Underground minerals are now at their limit. Money, minerals, whatever it takes to get power and maintain this tower and system. If you don't have money, even manually... Heheheh. ”

Hades was replacing the funds with his own labor force.

Eating cereal or ramen in the morning was the only time to rest.

“Well, does winning the battle give you back control of the underworld? ”

Hades nods at Jinwoo's words.

“I'll fund you. I'll give you a good night's rest, so hand it over to me when you get your license back. ”

Hades looks at Jinwoo.

When I came to the afterlife, I saw everything that happened. The heavenly whales themselves were shocked.

‘God that size, he must be dealing with such a creature. ’

Hades was not an ordinary god.

He was a completely different transcendent from the very beginning.

He was a much more divine god than the underlying god in the world of God. He used his power to observe the worship of the holy woman.

I knew a lot about him.

“It... costs a lot of money... ”

The cost of maintaining the underworld was not great.

But what remained was money.

I took the Dimensional Doubloons and gave them to Hades. Hades' eyes widen as he received the dimensionalization.

“Is it okay to make gold coins? ”

“Dimensional gold coins.... There's no more perfect money. Gold coins that can make miracles. ”

Hades holds a single Dimensional Doubloon in his precious hands. Then I rubbed my cheeks.

He looked very happy.

Jinwoo pulled out a bag full of dimensionalizations from the sub-space.

Kuang!

A pouch of leather falls on the table and a dimensional coin bounces off.

“Huff!”

Jinwoo keeps pulling out the leather pouch.

The chin of Hades falls to the ground, piling up on the ground. His eyes protruded in half.

“A down payment. I'll get you more when we're done. I'll let you live in luxury wherever you go. ”

Hades is dumbfounded.

“Do you want to sign?”

“I'll do it! I'll hand it over!" ”

Bang, bang!

Hades grabs Jinwoo's hand with both hands.

I couldn't find any worries.

‘Well solved. ’

It was the best way to resolve this peacefully.

Jinwoo took out quite a lot of money. Hades was okay with a long vacation.

Hades was suddenly lost in a given rest. I forgot how to rest. It was very sad to see him stumbling, not knowing what to do.

“Why don't you get some sleep? ”

“I can't close my eyes because I'm the God of the Underworld. ”

“Well, the fields are pretty. Do you want to go for a walk? ”

“Fe, if Persephone shows up to me... ”

Hades' palace felt like a safe house.

Hades winks at Jinwoo.

“Ah, ha, I remember wanting to do that. ”

Hades moves slowly and opens a visit in the corner. Jinwoo also followed him. I see a room covered in dust.

It had an old computer in it.

It was a computer that came out before Jin Woo was born.

A 5.25 "floppy disk was placed next to the black and white monitor. The floppy disk had" Tetris "written on it.

Hades turns on the computer and familiarizes himself with the floppy disk. I started working hard on Tetris and achieved a pretty good record.

Hades looks at Jinwoo with a proud look.

“This is a computer game. What do you think?”

“ ……. ”

Jin Woo forgot what to say for a moment. As Jin Woo was doing so, Hades began to explain with his shiny eyes.

“When you fill a block without gaps, it disappears like this. It's a simple principle, but it will speed up over time.... ”

“Enough.”

Jin Woo stopped Hades. Because he looked so pitiful.

“First... ”

Jinwoo shakes his hand and all the dust in the room disappears.

And while I was doing it, I got rid of the old computers. Hades looks at Jinwoo, furious.

Jin Woo released the latest hologram TVs for console gaming machines, computers and G&P.

“This...? ”

Hades tackles the gamepad with an odd finger. I was furious when it connected to the console device and vibrated.

Hades' arm falls off. The familiar retraction of the arm made his eyes blush.

“Sit down.”

Jinwoo gave him the gamepad.

Hades looked confused at first, but his face changed completely at the start of the game.

My eyes opened wide and my mouth was halfway open.

“Oh, my God.”

It was a miracle!

A miracle beyond the power of God unfolds before your eyes.

* * *

Jin Woo enjoyed the game with Hades.

Having introduced Hades to others, Jinwoo became interested in joining them.

Playing games in a small, dark room reminds me of an old thought. I felt like I was visiting a friend's house.

“Ah! You've increased your level. Is it better to take power, too? ”

“Well, let's start with proper stamina. ”

“Very well. I found this. Do you want it? This is a legendary item! ”

“Oh, that's okay. ”

The game continued.

Jinwoo stayed at Hades' house for a while.

“I see there's going to be a battle with the Percellés soon. ”

“That's right. This time... ”

Unlike Luna, Hades was smart and had an excellent sense of game. Now that I've prepared a great secret weapon, won't it be okay to win Hades' victory?

I didn't think I needed to stand up this time.

Hades has become quite divine. I've gained a lot of weight and I'm quite handsome. Surprisingly, my hair grew rich.

“I don't know what the secret weapon is, but can I not check it? ”

“My secret weapon must be undergoing heavy training by now. If I watch, I won't be able to train properly. ”

“Well, that, too. ”

Jinwoo nods.

I played the game again for a few days.

Hades' body began to deteriorate again as the battle with Persephone approached the day ahead.

The body was changing due to spiritual factors such as God.

“Training should be over by now. Let me introduce you to my secret weapon. ”

I came out with Hades.

As you exit the palace, Hades' confidence begins to wane. Looking around, he seemed to see a reclusive loner.

Much worse than Luna.

Is that what God is all about? Jinwoo shakes her head.

Following Hades, you reach the large training ground behind the palace. There was no one at the training ground. Hades was greatly embarrassed by the empty training ground.

“Why, why not? ”

“Hmm?"

“Now, wait a minute. ”

Hades opens his hands. The vortex air flows out and creates a round plate.

“My loyal warrior Radius. Ten heroes who follow him! Show yourself! ”

Hades said so.

Radius?

Jin Woo had heard that name before. A warrior I met when I arrived here. It was sent as a tester to the World Water Land Test Area.

Radius and the warriors illuminate the round panels made by Hades.

“Uh, why there? ”

Hades stares at Jinwoo, ignorant of the English language.

Jinwoo avoided his gaze.

‘But you'll still be good, won't you? ’

He didn't train for a few days, but he was still a hero. Your skills will remain intact.

It was time for Jinwoo to think so.

You hear a voice beyond the round plates.

“If you lose two... you'll get one. The patience of pain.... ”

That's what the cat has ears for.

Radius and the warriors nod, looking at each other to see if they've made up their minds.

Hades quickly realized what they were up to.

[Hades is appalled! His bones are trembling.]

Hades' body trembles.

“W-well, stop it! No!”

But I couldn't reach Hades' voice.

“To Hades! ”

“To victory! Achieve God-given tasks! ”

Radius and his warriors make bold decisions.

Jinwoo was also surprised.

Dr. Kim Dae-jin was greatly surprised to see Radius and the warriors crouching forward.

“Ugh! Why did you do that...! Ambulance, call an ambulance! ”

Only Beta nods with a loving expression.

Hades' jaw falls back. I lost weight again and became a skeleton branch.

Radius and his warriors are in serious condition.

The potion will not listen because the soul is embodied.

“Well, I... I guess we won't be able to compete tomorrow, right? ”

When Jinwoo smiled awkwardly and said that, Hades' body began to collapse.
