## Chapter 24 – The Future Chosen by Human Yoon Do-Hwa
***
The A-Class hero ‘Ignition’ of the Hero Association.
Real name Yoon Do-hwa.
Her family wasn’t wealthy,
but it wasn’t exactly struggling either; just an ordinary family.
Do-hwa was a girl who grew up in that family, overflowing with her parents’ love.
She wasn’t a naturally gifted esper born with abilities,
but she secretly admired the righteous figures of the heroes in the news and articles.
She wasn’t particularly talented in academics, but she was popular for her cheerful and kind personality.
‘A bright and upright child, like a sunflower under the sun.’
That’s how her teachers and friends in school used to describe her.
She didn’t have any outstanding talents, nor did she come from a wealthy family,
but it seemed like she would live in a joyful and happy environment forever.
Until her father, the strong pillar of the family, passed away in an unforeseen accident.
Do-hwa was enjoying her second summer vacation of high school,
on her birthday, when the sunlight was shining brighter than ever, like her orange hair.
She was waiting for her father, who had texted her that he had prepared a gift she would love,
spending a happy time with her friends with a fluttering heart.
Then, a phone call suddenly started ringing.
It was a hospital official saying that her father was in critical condition and that she needed to come to the hospital quickly.
“Dad… Dad!!!!”
Without even having time to collapse in shock, she broke away from her friends,
took a taxi, and rushed to the hospital, only to find her father in a terrible state.
His body was covered in blood and crushed beyond description,
with the doctors moving busily and the sound of the heart rate monitor getting faster, signaling the urgency.
He had to see his daughter’s face one last time.
He wanted to see his precious daughter’s face one more time.
…With that desperate wish, her father held onto his breath.
When he saw Do-hwa, he miraculously got up and stroked her cheek,
and then passed away shortly after.
She fell into immense grief.
Her dad, who was always kind to her and as generous as the sea,
her dad, who was always healthy without any ailments, had suddenly left.
A fierce sorrow, as if half of her body had been cut off.
But the world didn’t give her time to grieve.
As her father, the head of the household, passed away, the family fortunes declined rapidly,
and her kind and gentle mother locked herself in the house, even more grief-stricken than she was.
“Do-hwa… I’m so sorry for being such a weak mom…?”
When she came home from school, her mother would always be gulping down soju,
muttering apologies in a half-conscious state.
The cold-hearted relatives on both sides of the family didn’t offer a helping hand despite the declining fortunes.
Even her friends, as if they had been waiting for it, distanced themselves from her.
Everything that had always been bright and joyful suddenly turned around and began to torment her.
Why were her friends trying not to associate with her?
She could endure it if she just graduated from school somehow.
Relatives who didn’t offer a helping hand and pretended not to know?
She could just think of them as people who never existed in the first place.
But the problem was her mother, who was always soaked in alcohol and couldn’t earn a penny,
and the house that was collapsing with her helpless depression.
Red stickers started appearing all over the house.
Various utility bills and notices were flying in by phone and mail.
The grief of losing her father was grief, but
‘money’ made it even harder to overcome that grief.
Do-hwa dropped out of school and started working to earn money, in place of her mother, who couldn’t escape from her grief.
The hands that had never touched water were now holding a barbecue grill.
The ears that had always heard praise and kind words were now hearing curses and shouts.
It was exactly 33 days after her father’s death that her abilities manifested,
as she worked tirelessly from one part-time job to another.
The ability that manifested in Do-hwa was the ability to ‘ignite’.
The news of the commotion that occurred in the middle of the city after she manifested her ability spread,
and the Hero Association immediately offered her a scout proposal the next day.
“We are already aware that Do-hwa’s family situation is very difficult.”
“Hero activities are dangerous, risking your life… but they come with great rewards.”
The words that great rewards would follow.
Even for her, who didn’t yet have a clear understanding of the concept of ‘money’,
it was clear that the reward was a lot of money.
She accepted the Hero Association’s scout proposal,
and after undergoing numerous training sessions including ability control and physical enhancement, she turned twenty.
She defeated villains in dangerous situations where lives were at stake,
and became an A-Class hero at the young age of 23 with her outstanding abilities and matching talent.
She earned money as an A-Class hero with the best reputation and numerous rewards,
but her mother, unable to bear the grief, passed away from alcohol addiction.
Saving people and receiving countless praises and cheers was her daily life,
but she often heard unpleasant things and received slanderous accusations.
She gave up everything and became a hero to gain money and fame,
but she lost all the precious things that were always around her.
Now, she only had one reason to live.
The praises and cheers she heard from people were the most similar to what she had cherished.
She wanted to hear praise one more time.
She wanted to hear people say thank you to her even just once.
Like a beautiful flower blooming precariously on a cliff,
the true appearance of the cheerful and refreshing hero was precariousness itself.
***
It’s dark.
It’s so dark.
Why am I… in a place like this?
“Hello! Is anyone there?”
No matter how much I shouted, no answer came back.
I’m sure there was something I had to do, something I absolutely had to do.
– Tap… tap… tap…
As if someone had heard my earnest cry,
I heard the sound of someone walking in shoes from far away, tapping.
“What… what is it? Who are you? Can you hear me?”
– Tap… tap… tap…
Without any answer, the tapping sound only got closer and closer,
and the repeating sound in the endless darkness made my whole body tense.
And after a few seconds, finally.
The owner of the shoe sound revealed their identity in front of me.
“Hello? Nice to meet you.”
“Huh… huh?”
What I see in front of me is definitely my appearance.
That orange hair and eyes.
And when I see that hair neatly tied back, it’s me.
But… it feels like it’s not me somehow.
Like a succubus from a fantasy world,
she exudes a very attractive and seductive atmosphere.
Besides, that… I don’t know if I can call it clothes, but that outfit too.
Barely covering the sensitive parts of the chest and groin,
a vulgar outfit made of tight black latex material.
It looks like something people would wear in those kinds of comics or videos.
Even… unlike my well-muscled body, it’s more voluptuous,
and it looks like my breasts and butt have gotten a lot bigger.
“I… I don’t wear such vulgar clothes… and I don’t have a body like that…?”
“Huh? What are you talking about? I’m what you are now?”
She strode up to me, exuding a seductive fragrance and atmosphere,
and suddenly grabbed my face with two fingers and started caressing it.
“When you lost everything and were suddenly thrown into the world… how did you feel?”
“What are you talking about?”
“19 years old, my birthday and… the day of your birthday. Don’t you remember?”
“Th… that’s…”
It’s a day I can never forget, no matter how hard I try.
Because it was the day my father passed away in a sudden accident,
and everything around me suddenly turned negative.
“You’ve really been through a lot. Do-hwa.”
“H… huh?”
The woman who looked so much like me but was so different from me,
let go of my hand and hugged me tightly with her voluptuous body.
“Now you don’t have to try to help people anymore.
You don’t have to hide that you’re having a hard time… you can just live according to your desires.”
“My desires…? I… I don’t have any desires…?”
“Living with endless love and rewards from that person who is more superior than anyone else… and has more powerful strength than anyone else…♥
To do that, you received a lot of love from the great one…
and became like me now♥”
That’s right… definitely….
I was a perverted sex slave who would do anything for him…♥
“Now… you don’t have to rely on anything anymore.
Only service and love for Dominator-nim… will fill you up♥”
The reason I’ve been living this life, even losing everything so far,
was to meet that person who would become my master.
With that cock that is bigger and more superior than anyone else in the world…♥
While being injected with semen until my stomach bursts…♥
He saved me who was wandering in the darkness…♥
I remembered everything…♥
“Eung…♥ You’ve awakened your true self…?
The moment you remembered everything… you’ve evolved one step further as a servant of that person.
Then hurry… open your eyes and welcome him…♥”
