Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 75
Chapter 75
The End (1)
Inside the VIP room of SL Seoul Hospital.
The room was luxurious, furnished with a 4K television, sleek marble flooring, and high-end furniture.
It was one of the most expensive rooms, costing nearly two million won per day, but when Soyeon collapsed and couldn’t get up, Lee Siwoon panicked and promptly admitted her.
Normally, a VIP room of this caliber would be fully booked by conglomerate heirs, celebrities, and heroes, but this room was reserved for SL Group’s family members.
Lee Siwoon, honestly, is a bit over the top.
T hi s w a s co p i e d f r o m k i n g mt l.o r g
Why go to such lengths?
Though his expression was stoic, the concern and worry in his eyes as he looked at Soyeon were undeniable.
A wealthy young man with a pure heart…
If she were a girl, she’d be head over heels for him, sending hearts flying his way. Soyeon, though, still seemed a bit indifferent.
Well, in any case, the tests revealed that her collapse was due to mental fatigue and exhaustion from overusing her ability.
A few days of rest in the hospital would be enough for her to recover fully. There didn’t seem to be anything to worry about.
“……”
I sat in a chair, quietly watching over Soyeon, and then took out my phone to read some news articles.
Seong Yura’s story was gaining a lot of attention in connection with the recent incident.
– “The Dark Side of the Church of Noon’s Seong Yura!” A Clergyman Tainted by Corruption.
– “All Kinds of Corruption and Fraud?” The Ugly Truth Behind the Saintess Candidate.
– Illegal Drug Trade, Kidnapping, Imprisonment, Brainwashing… Who Exactly Is Seong Yura?!
– “Villain Seong Yura is a Union Student!”… The Union’s Controversial Repute After the Villain’s Attack!
– [Exclusive] Gaon Nuri Clan Collaborates with Law Enforcement! Worst Villains Captured!
– “Was it Excessive Force?” A Mansion in Flames and a Pile of Corpses.
Various news articles poured out.
Due to the Act on the Punishment of Certain Violent Crimes, Seong Yura’s personal information was exposed by the media.
Normally, a minor suspect would be protected under the Youth Protection Act, but because Seong Yura was an ability user, the special law applied.
Also, the evidence against Seong Yura was overwhelming.
Not only did we retrieve incriminating items from the secret safe, but we also found more in the basement, making the case against her truly massive.
The serious crimes that could be proven on the spot included attempted murder, solicitation of murder, threats, kidnapping, imprisonment, abduction, enticement, human trafficking, drug dealing, and manufacturing.
Holy crap, there’s so much.
And there were even more crimes that hadn’t been uncovered yet.
Seong Yura really lived her life committing every evil act possible just to succeed.
T h i s w as c op i e d f r o m ki ng m t l . o r g
If she had just stopped at a reasonable point, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
‘By the way, Yoo Seolhyun did a great job cleaning up the mess.’
I wasn’t sure how it happened, but our illegal intrusion into Seong Yura’s mansion and the chaos we caused ended up being portrayed as us helping law enforcement catch a villainous organization.
I heard that the prosecutors, police, and media were all in sync, but I didn’t expect them to handle it so well.
Fortunately, the media left out any mention of me, Soyeon, Lee Siwoon, or Roxanne.
As expected of the precious gem of the Gaon Nuri Clan.
No, seriously. How is Yoo Seolhyun so competent?
I’m glad I went through the trouble of getting on her good side. Without her help in this incident, we wouldn’t have been able to rescue Soyeon safely.
Indeed, connections are everything in this country.
I’ll have to maintain good relationships with those who have strong backing in the future.
‘Hmm. Speaking of which, this sword sheath…’
I scratched my chin briefly and gripped the sword sheath Yoo Seolhyun had handed me.
It was slightly singed, but it was clear that it was a good sheath. It was a sort of masterpiece made by a skilled craftsman.
This sword sheath was found in the burnt-down mansion, and Yoo Seolhyun personally brought it to me. She must have noticed that my sword and the sheath were connected by some unknown force. She probably thought they were a set.
Apparently, Yoo Seolhyun, not having been at the scene, assumed that this was the sheath I had lost in the mansion, but I had never seen this sheath before in my life.
However, I had a rough idea of who the owner of this sheath was.
Because the circumstantial evidence was clear.
‘Vigilante…’
I had heard that the site of the fire revealed traces of intense combat and several charred, unidentifiable corpses.
It seemed that the Vigilante had stormed the mansion and caused havoc just before I infiltrated Seong Yura’s place.
It made sense since the position of the sword could be tracked through this sheath.
Considering the unusually low number of guards and the fact that James, who was top-tier, was injured, it was all but certain.
Given the Vigilante’s strength according to the world’s lore, it was entirely possible.
He was someone who could be compared to Yoo Dahee in terms of strength.
Th i s w as c o pi ed f r om k i n g m t l. o r g
‘Sigh. It feels a bit unsettling, as if he died because of me.’
T h is w a s c o p i ed fr om ki n gm t l.o r g
It didn’t feel great knowing that someone unrelated to the situation had died. Of course, I couldn’t be blamed directly, but it was true that I had indirectly influenced the outcome. No wonder I’d been having restless dreams lately.
‘Death… It doesn’t feel like someone else’s problem. I could die too if I’m not careful, right?’
After all, I was a character destined to die.
My in-game death served as the catalyst for Soyeon’s awakening and set the stage for the confrontation with the Rebellion members.
It was a rather important role, you could say.
But whether because of luck or something else, it seemed that Soyeon had awakened without my death, thanks to this recent incident.
As I later found out, Soyeon had apparently taken down all the guards in Seong Yura’s room.
Those guards were, at the very least, mid to high tier.
They were far too strong for an average hero candidate to defeat. The fact that Soyeon managed to defeat them all meant that she awakened just like she did in the game.
It was something completely unexpected.
T his w a s c o p ied f r om k i ng m tl . o r g
According to Soyeon, she thought I had died after seeing the CCTV footage.
It was shocking that she had awakened in the same way as her in-game character, triggered by what she believed to be my death.
Frankly, I was a bit surprised.
I had been uncertain.
Whether or not Soyeon could only awaken if I died.
In retrospect, the awakening of abilities is often linked to death.
When a loved one dies.
When one experiences a life-threatening situation.
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f ro m ki n g m t l.o r g
When one comes back from the brink of death.
…According to the lore, an abnormal level of stress and intense emotional outbursts related to death can trigger the awakening of abilities.
‘Could I awaken an ability if I were in a life-threatening situation or if a loved one died?’
But wait, I’ve already had several near-death experiences, and my beloved parents have already passed away, haven’t they?
‘So the only thing left is to come back from the brink of death… Sigh.’
Though even then, I’m pretty sure I still wouldn’t awaken an ability.
Because if I had the talent to awaken an ability on my own, I would have done so long ago.
In the game, I was a character who never awakened, quietly exiting the stage without fanfare.
Even if I were to come back from the brink of death now, the chances of me awakening an ability would be extremely low.
Is there another way, any other way?
I really want to have an ability.
To fight the Rebellion members in the future, I need to become stronger. Relics alone have their limitations.
‘…Hmm. Then should I actually die once and come back?’
This sounds like complete nonsense, but there is a relic that can bring someone back to life.
After all, resurrection items are a staple in RPG games.
Though in the game, you could get them as long as you had money, in the world’s setting, they are classified as extremely rare items.
So, in this world where the game’s setting is fully reflected, it’s impossible to obtain them through ordinary means.
But it’s not impossible to get a resurrection item.
Because in a few months, a relic related to resurrection will be up for auction.
It’s called the “Blessing of the Star.”
The Blessing of the Star is a one-time-use resurrection item that will bring the user back to life upon death.
Isn’t this the reason I’ve been diligently investing in stocks all this time?
It seems like it’s time to start selling off some of the stocks I hadn’t liquidated.
‘A resurrection item… I really want to have it. You never know when or how you might die, so it’s good to have some insurance, right?’
T his w a s c o p i ed fr o m k i n g m t l .o r g
Compared to Soyeon, who has awakened, and Lee Siwoon and Kang Daehan, who will become even stronger, I’m far too weak.
To survive the threats that will come in the future, having the Blessing of the Star would be ideal.
Not necessarily just to awaken an ability, but also to have a resurrection-related relic as a safeguard.
As you know, I was originally fated to die—a fate to die.
‘Thinking about it like this feels a bit odd.’
Though my death is the standard route in Romance Hero Academy, it feels strange to think about being destined to die.
To be honest, it doesn’t feel good.
Even though I know the story of Romance Hero Academy has deviated significantly and I know how to avoid death, I still can’t shake this unsettling feeling.
‘Well, either way, as long as I keep getting entangled with the Rebellion members, I’ll probably face many dangerous situations.’
The villains of Rebellion who will stand in Soyeon’s way in the future.
T hi s w as c o pi e d fr om k i ng m tl. o r g
T h i s was c o pi e d f ro m k i ngm t l. o r g
Given that we’ve already captured Seong Yura, it’s clear they’ll harbor ill will toward us.
Even though the media left out our involvement, it’s hard to believe they wouldn’t know the truth of the matter.
Why Seong Yura was captured, for instance.
‘I wonder what will happen to Seong Yura.’
The thought of Seong Yura crossed my mind.
Honestly, I don’t think she’ll just be quietly imprisoned.
Given all the evil deeds she’s committed and how she’s held others’ weaknesses over them, it’s obvious what fate awaits her now that she’s lost her power, wealth, and subordinates.
Seong Yura knows too much.
Not only the identities of the Rebellion members but also the weaknesses of powerful people.
T h is wa s c op i e d f r o m k i ng m t l .o r g
Could she possibly meet the same end as she did in the game? I sighed softly.
It’s not that I feel sorry for Seong Yura or that I’m worried about her, but knowing someone’s end is a complex feeling in many ways.
No one wishes for death.
Not me, not Seong Yura, not anyone.
End of Chapter.
