Into the Creations 1776

Chapter 1776 – 1776. Vampire Detective

[Vampire Detective] began auto-progressing.

Now that I had subdued the world, there was no need for me to take the initiative. Even if Seoul was gone, the provinces were full of factories that formed the foundation of the Daechun Group, so consolidating those would be enough to establish a base.

What was needed was time for the situation to be resolved. The rest would be handled well by Secretary Kim. Her capabilities had already been proven through her management of the Daechun Group.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Neighboring Japan used a nuclear bomb in Tokyo to kill Sung Soo-Woon. And all the powerful figures, including the prime minister, became vampires.

So far, so good. But these bastards didn’t stop there. They spread the remains of Sung Soo-Woon, that monstrous lump of flesh, all over the world like a plague. They began turning the Japanese people into vampires.

‘Shit. These bastards…’

Once you become a vampire, the plague I spread doesn’t work. That’s what they were aiming for. Surprisingly, many humans were willing to become vampires without much resistance.

‘It’s more terrifying to have your head explode from the plague than to give up being human.’

The Japanese government began selecting humans. Those who would become vampires and those who would remain human. Since vampires feed on humans, they couldn’t turn everyone into vampires. Because of this, the Japanese people were in an uproar, and other countries were criticizing Japan.

But the whole world was following Japan’s lead. Starting with the rich, people were voluntarily becoming vampires. The speed was faster than I had imagined.

‘I don’t like this.’

At this rate, a world I can’t control will come. Vampires, who are stronger than humans, would definitely not listen to me.

“Chairman, a nuclear missile has been launched from China.”

“Those crazy bastards. Have they gone mad? I showed them some leniency, and they keep crawling up.”

“The targets are not Korea, but the United States and Japan.”

I paused, about to take out a space-movement scroll.

“China is attacking Japan? Why?”

“I just contacted the Chinese President… and he has committed suicide.”

“Is it a real suicide? Or was he forced to commit suicide?”

“There’s no evidence, but it seems like he was forced. Personally, I suspect it’s the power of a vampire progenitor.”

“There are superpowers that can control people… so it’s not entirely impossible. What happened to the nuclear missile?”

Secretary Kim immediately checked her tablet.

“…The nuclear missile heading for Japan has just been shot down.”

“What about the US?”

“They were too slow to react. It’s expected that at least 70 out of 3,000 nuclear missiles fired at the US will hit. Ah, Japan has just launched nuclear missiles at China.”

“Those damn Japs. They’re not even trying to hide their nuclear missiles anymore.”

I sighed. Whether Japan was behind this or it was China’s unilateral decision, the fact that nuclear missiles were launched was what mattered.

“A nuclear war is about to begin.”

It can’t be stopped. It’s different from when I detonated a nuclear bomb. It’s not an individual versus a country, but country versus country. And since I’m not the target, there’s no chance of their heads exploding.

There are several reasons why they’re not firing nukes at Korea. One is to avoid provoking me. They must be certain that I have the ability to move through space, so I’m a nuisance to them.

Above all, the foundation of the Daechun Group in Korea is too valuable to just blow away.

‘If they’ve turned the Self-Defense Force soldiers into vampires… they’ll want to conquer the closest country, Korea.’

Even if I were to advocate for peace right now, the world wouldn’t listen or believe me.

“Secretary Kim, what should we do?”

“A nuclear war has begun. Even Korea can’t be completely safe from nuclear attacks. Let’s go to the shelter in Busan. We’ve already selected food, women, and other experts to put in the shelter, so there won’t be any inconveniences.”

“Hmm. You’re amazing, Secretary Kim. You’re so good at your job. But no matter how I think about it, I’m pissed off that things are turning out this way. How many nuclear missiles does Korea have?”

“About 2,500 that can be used immediately.”

“Really? Fire them all and turn Japan into a wasteland. Let’s wipe them out completely.”

Secretary Kim paused. She seemed to have something to say, but she nodded and replied.

“Understood.”

The nuclear war didn’t last long. It started with China. Then, nuclear missiles were launched between Japan, Korea, the US, and Russia. The whole world was in a panic. It was already too difficult to think straight with the absurd plague, the monsters that ate people, and the increasing number of vampires.

The nuclear war that started in East Asia spread throughout the world. It didn’t take long for the whole world to become devastated.

I sat in the shelter and checked the outside with a satellite. The demonic city of Busan was gone. It was just full of dust. The nuclear missiles that fell all over the world had also fallen on Korea. Honestly, I don’t know who fired them. The US, which was hit by nuclear missiles from China, was firing them indiscriminately, then Russia fired back, then Europe, then Africa… Anyway, a lot of nuclear missiles fell on Earth.

“Secretary Kim, how many people do you think are left in the world?”

“Even considering the people who successfully took refuge in nuclear bunkers… it won’t be even a million.”

I looked around.

A hundred beautiful women were sprawled naked. They looked like drug addicts. With the world in this state, their will to live was gone. They moan with pleasure when they have sex with me, but after that, they just lie there like broken dolls.

[30 days have passed. The plague is disappearing.]

‘Even if the plague disappears, the infected bodies won’t return to normal. Well, even if they did, the world is over.’

The [Vampire Detective] world was over. I’ve been sucking honey in this world until now… but there’s no more honey to suck. I’ll have to bring food and machines from another world.

“Hmm.”

[Vampire Detective] is over. I can just shoot myself in the head, or fry my brain with lightning, commit suicide, and end it.

‘But what about Secretary Kim?’

I’ve grown fond of Secretary Kim. She and I have been together for over 100 years. She has 72 of my children. I have no attachment to this world, but I’m overflowing with attachment to her. I didn’t want to abandon her in this ruined world.

“Chairman, I will be with you. Even if it’s the end.”

Secretary Kim said. Her calm eyes showed no lies. She genuinely intends to be with me until the end.

“Secretary Kim, I…”

KWA-A-A-ANG!

Suddenly, the ceiling collapsed. The shelter was deep underground. If the ceiling collapsed, soil should have fallen, but outside the ceiling, a clear night sky was visible.

“Hahaha! So you were hiding here! You bastard!!”

Someone fell from the sky, thud, thud, thud. There seemed to be about 30 of them. The one in the center was a familiar face.

“…The Japanese Prime Minister. You’re alive?”

“I crossed over to Korea before you turned Japan into a wasteland with nuclear missiles. A peninsula seemed better than an island. And it was the right choice. The problem was that we didn’t have food, so we’ve been eating our own kind… but there’s a lot of fresh food here.”

The Prime Minister grinned, looking at the sprawled women. It wasn’t lust, but hunger.

I grabbed the Super Blade, and Secretary Kim took out a specially modified pistol from her pocket.

“Prime Minister, why did you do such a stupid thing? The world is ruined because of your stupid actions.”

“Are you blaming me? The cause of the world’s destruction is you. Japan was ruined because of you, and if Japan, the center of the world, is to be ruined, then the whole world should be ruined with it. That’s the natural thing to do.”

“Bullshit. You didn’t actually know things would turn out like this, did you? Right?”

“…Yeah. I didn’t know it would be this thoroughly ruined. But there’s still hope. I’ve already confirmed that there are over 300 humans in this shelter. We’ll use this place as a base to rebuild humanity. I will be the beginning of the world! The new Japan is here!”

TA-ANG!

Secretary Kim’s pistol fired. A special bullet aimed for the Prime Minister’s forehead. The Prime Minister casually tilted his head to dodge the bullet. The bullet circled in the air and pierced the back of the Prime Minister’s head.

“A guided bullet…?!”

“It’s the technology of the Daechun Group. It’s a lost technology now.”

“Kill that woman, kill her…!”

The Prime Minister, with a hole in his head, didn’t die and pointed at Secretary Kim with his finger.

The sprawled women stood up and targeted Secretary Kim. They showed a madness that didn’t even care about their own bodies. The Prime Minister’s subordinates were mixed in, targeting me.

‘Is it a superpower that controls people? If I kill the Prime Minister…’

The Prime Minister stood up. The atmosphere changed.

“Sung Yoo-Jin. So you were here.”

The bastard smirked.

“…Sung Soo-Woon?”

“It took me quite a while to find you. Oh, if you’re looking for other humans, give up. There are no other humans in this world. I killed them all.”

The women who were rushing at me and Secretary Kim suddenly stopped. Then, their heads exploded all at once.

“The plague you created. It uses brainwaves. In other words, if you can control brainwaves… it’s easy to make humans’ heads explode like this.”

A vampire next to me said.

I looked around in confusion.

“You. What the hell are you?”

“A vampire. I am the vampire itself. Since this world is over anyway, I’ll end it with my own hands.”

[Using Instant(刹那). Remaining stacks: 6]

I slashed the vampire near me in the waist with one blow. Their upper and lower bodies separated and fell to the floor, then melted into a lump of flesh and disappeared.

A vampire hiding in the shadows targeted my back.

“Chairman!!”

[Using Instant(刹那). Remaining stacks: 5]

I beheaded the one behind me and ran towards the Prime Minister. I quickly closed the distance and stabbed his neck with my sword.

“It’s useless.”

The Prime Minister’s body turned into a lump of flesh and melted away.

THUD!

Something fell from above. It was a vampire wearing tattered clothes. Following it, vampires continued to fall from the sky. Looking at the sky, a part of space was distorted. Vampires kept popping out from there.

10 vampires. 30 vampires. 100 vampires.

“You can give up now…”

I split the head of the one who was talking in half.

Pzzzzzz!

I gathered lightning in my hand. The lightning formed into a sphere.

Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) Lightning Ball (雷球).

I threw the lightning ball forward. The lightning ball exploded, and lightning raged in all directions. I concentrated to make sure the lightning didn’t hit Secretary Kim and said.

“Secretary Kim, tear the space-movement scroll. I’ll follow you.”

I chased after the vampires targeting Secretary Kim and killed them.

“…Yes, Chairman.”

Tear.

Secretary Kim tore the space-movement scroll. Her body disappeared. I also took out a space-movement scroll from my pocket and tore it.

We appeared in Hawaii. Hawaii, which was a mess due to nuclear weapons, was still beautiful.

“I told you it was useless.”

Space rippled, and a vampire popped out from there.

[Using Instant(刹那). Remaining stacks: 4]

I ran and beheaded the vampire.

A new vampire appeared right next to me. Its elongated fingernails scratched my forearm. I slashed its body along with its fingernails.

“No matter how much you struggle, the end is already decided.”

I clicked my tongue.

“Tsk. You annoying bastards. You keep crawling out like cockroaches.”
