Surviving as a Brainwashing Villain in a Hero World 3

## Chapter 3 – An a-Class Hero to Such a Lousy Combatant? No Way!

***

“Ugh! I thought I was really gonna die. Whew!”

I ran and ran, as far away from the hideout as my legs could carry me.
Thankfully, the place I jumped from wasn’t high enough to kill me.

My leg seems to be limping a bit…
But still, I’m alive, right? Cheers to that!

The Dark Knights’ hideout was a remodeled abandoned factory on the outskirts of S City.
It’s quite a walk to get to my place in the downtown area.

“Ah.”

I went out to the street to try and catch a taxi, and I happened to see my reflection in a road mirror…
No matter how I looked at it, it was no different from the villain profile pictures in the news.

The problem is, I’m only wearing a tank top and underwear inside this villain suit.

Still, wouldn’t it be better to just close my eyes and go out in my underwear than to be caught as a villain?
Or should I just go as I am and pretend I’m filming a hero promotional video?

While I was pondering, a good idea came to mind.

“This is… still better than those two, I guess.”

I took off the mask and tore the suit apart, dividing it into a top and bottom.
That way, it’ll look like I’m wearing a tank top and leggings.

***

“Thank you! Goodbye!”
“Get home safe. It’s cold out.”

Thankfully, I managed to get to my place without any trouble.

The pitying look the taxi driver gave me was a little unnerving, though.

“I never thought I’d come home like this.”

My place, which I hadn’t been back to in months, was really quiet and desolate.

I only got this place to rest and sleep on the rare days off, so all I have are a few clothes, a computer, a bed, and a refrigerator.

“Am I dreaming or something?”

What happened in just a few hours was a truly incredible series of coincidences.

It’s a coincidence that a hero’s surprise attack, which hasn’t happened in years, occurred.

There must be hundreds of organizations operating in this city, the most populated in Korea,
and our organization just happened to get caught.

And when I went to request support, the commander and the boss had already run away…
It wouldn’t have been strange if I had been arrested or killed on the spot.

But thanks to the jewel I found in the command center, I gained something similar to a superpower,
and with that power, I was even able to neutralize an A-class hero.

“Status… Status window? Status window!”

I shouted “Status window!” like in a comic book, trying to bring up the screen I saw earlier.

– Whoosh-

“Oh! It actually works. Amazing.”

Then, a screen similar to the one I saw earlier appeared in front of me.

[ Welcome, Hashiyoon, owner of the . ]
[ There are currently no imprint subjects available for command nearby. ]
[ Imprint subjects in possession: Yoon Dohwa (Stage 1 – 13%) ]
[ ]

.

Corruption, as in the English word “corruption.”
It seems to be a combination of the word “system,” meaning a “system” that carries out the orders of the owner, me.

On the main screen, I could see imprint subjects available for command nearby or subjects I already possessed imprints on.

“What’s that ‘Locked’ word? Does it feel like it hasn’t been unlocked yet?”

[ The item will be unlocked when the final stage of the imprint is in progress. ]

Looking at Yoon Dohwa’s side of the imprint subject list, I saw the information I had seen earlier,
and since there was a “Locked” item, it seemed like there were additional features that would be unlocked as I used the ability.

I wonder how far this ability can go.
I’m looking forward to seeing what else will be possible as I fill the imprint’s assimilation rate and raise the stage.

Until now, I’ve only endured with my physical strength for years without any abilities.
I decided to think that some god with a bit of a perverse taste gave me this ability.

The condition of having to make physical contact is simple yet tricky,
but it will be possible if I use strong guys like Yoon Dohwa.

Now that the Dark Knights are destroyed,
I’m going to take this opportunity to make it on my own.

***

I slept soundly for the first time in a long time.

“How many hours did I sleep?”

If I remember correctly, the hero attack was around 5 AM.
It was a little before 7 AM when I got home.

I rarely slept more than 6 hours a day, so I was always suffering from sleep deprivation.
I’m very satisfied that I won’t have to do that anymore.

“It’s not even 6 yet….”

The time I told Yoon Dohwa to come to the back gate of the university near my place was 6 PM.
There are still about 10 minutes left.

“What should I wear? Should I just throw something on and go out?”

Since I started living on my own and spent most of my time at the hideout,
I don’t have many clothes to wear because I don’t go out much.

Before joining the Dark Knights, I used to meet my friends often,
but while I was just a low-ranking combatant, they were already becoming respectable members of society.

As a result, I hardly ever saw them except for the occasional day off,
and these days, even our contact has been infrequent.

“What are those guys up to these days? Should I get in touch with them while I’m out?”

I put on the most plain clothes I had, a black hoodie and slacks, and left the house.

***

In front of the convenience store near the back gate of Sunnam University.

It’s also the university I briefly attended before joining the Dark Knights.
I dropped out after about a year, using it as an excuse to my parents to come to Seoul.

“But she’s not here yet?”

Yoon Dohwa wasn’t in sight even though it was 6 o’clock, so I looked around.

“…Hey.”

Someone poked me in the back with their finger.

“You’re here? Hero ‘Ignition’?”
“Sh… Shut up! I came all the way here because of that!”

Hero ‘Ignition’ was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, with a hat pulled down low.
Probably to hide the fact that she’s a hero in a crowded street.

“You could have dressed up a bit more. Follow me.”
“Ugh! My body is acting on its own again…!”

It’s still a bit 부담스럽단 to do that kind of thing in a crowded place, right?

“How about here?”

A narrow alley between two buildings with ‘For Rent’ stickers near the back gate of the university.

Even if you get a few steps closer, you can see the road where people pass by,
but it’s narrow and dark, so it’s not easily visible from the outside.

When I was in college, my friends and I used to say that ghosts would come out if we passed through this alley.

“Wh… What are you going to do to me!”
“Why? Heh! Kill me! Are you going to say something like that?”

“Ki… Killing is….”
“I’m not going to kill you. You’re too good to waste, right? I don’t even have the power to do that in the first place.”

That’s true.
After getting kicked last time, I realized that pure physical ability is 압살.

So I’m going to use a more cowardly and petty trick.

[ Applying arousal to target: ‘Ignition’ Yoon Dohwa. ]

“Heuh?!”

As soon as I applied the arousal command to her, she suddenly bent over and lowered her head.

“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“N… Nothing!”

When I lifted Yoon Dohwa’s chin, I saw her face flushed with embarrassment.

“Don’t tell me you’re excited because you think you’re going to be subjected to something like that in a place like this.”
“There’s no way! I’m not a pervert like you!”

Seeing her fidgeting and trembling little by little, it’s clear that she’s aroused,
but the way she’s trying so hard to hide it is kind of cute.

“Hoo… I’m really… going to kill you…!”

I was curious about how strong the arousal was, so I pressed down on her right breast, which I had touched last time.

“Hiyah?!”

A cute moan that was completely contradictory to her words of killing me came out.

“Pfft…”
“……Hoo….”

Her body is getting increasingly wet with sweat as her body temperature rises due to the arousal,
and the sky-blue underwear she’s wearing is visible under her white t-shirt.

“Don’t look…!”

Ignoring Yoon Dohwa’s words not to look, I took off her sweat-soaked t-shirt.

A sky-blue lace bra barely holding up her swaying breasts.

A few drops of sweat trickling down between her breasts.
And the fragrant scent emanating from within.

“You perverted bastard…!”
“I don’t think you understand the situation yet.”
“What?”

It’s time to tell Yoon Dohwa about the situation she’s in.

“What do you think will happen if I push Ignition out of here right now?”
“Just… in my underwear…? That can’t happen!”
“Then speak nicely. Got it?”

No matter how much I’ve been fantasizing about this situation,
I don’t feel good at all when I only hear words like ‘perverted bastard’ or ‘I’m going to kill you.’

She needs to know that she’s not A-class hero Ignition right now.
But prey placed in front of a healthy male.

“Got it?”
“I… I won’t… I won’t do that… anymore.”

She changes her tone with a really frightened expression.
I grabbed and tore off Yoon Dohwa’s bra, who had become a little more submissive.

Big.

When I was covering it with a bra and t-shirt, I thought it was about a C cup.
But after breaking down all those defenses, there was something that far surpassed my expectations.

A drop of sweat flowing between her breasts trickles down her pink nipple.
Like morning dew falling from a leaf.

“Aeuuuugh…! It hurts…!”

I pinched her nipple between my index and middle fingers and squeezed both breasts,
gently moving my index and middle fingers to stimulate her nipple.

Whether she’s been working hard on her skin care even while living such a rough hero life,
it’s soft, smooth, and snow-white.

– Pshoo-♥

“Aeuuuugh?!♥”

She seemed to have gone off as she trembled for a moment after her breasts were massaged for a few seconds.

“I can’t stand it.”

That twitching expression with her mouth open and her tongue sticking out.
How can you resist eating her up when you see that expression?

I’m not going to resist.
I don’t need to resist, right?
