chapter 25
Episode 25 – The Possessor’s Plan
‘It’s fucked up.’
One day after possessing this world, it was an idea that entered Lumia’s head.
[Justia dies. The culprit is a hero belonging to the Secret Service…]
[Justia Slayer Kang Ha-neul, who is his true identity…?]
Within a day or so, the press was pouring out breaking news.
Most of them were reporters who left their names on Lumia’s call logs for the past week.
I felt like I wanted to stop breaking news by contacting them right away. But that was impossible.
It was because the article had already gone up and was being reproduced out of control.
“It’s true that Trauma-sama is an absolute evil… You’re saying that this is a false accusation.”
But Rumia knew well. that all of this is false.
Of course, there was a time when she thought that trauma must have killed Justia when the original work was not finished.
However, the truth was revealed in the final half of the original story.
The truth is that he wasn’t the one who killed Justia.
The best reversal that has exploded the community for months, constantly skyrocketing the popularity of Trauma, topping the popularity poll.
Right now, only one person, Rumia, knew the twist.
‘How can I solve this situation?’
So, of course, she was the only one who could save the current river sky.
“Evidence… Okay, let’s check the evidence.”
The breakthrough that Lumia came up with was to find loopholes in the evidence.
Unless Kang Ha-neul is the real culprit, the evidence presented will naturally have loopholes.
If so, you just have to prove the loophole and bring out the innocence.
“……..”
With that thought in mind, she had personally checked the information released through the Great Order, but she soon ran into a big problem.
“…No, there’s a loophole.”
After careful review and review, we could not find any loopholes.
It cannot happen unless you have been determined and prepared for several years.
But it actually happened.
“…tt.”
Lumia, who was checking and rechecking the documents she was rummaging through, grabbed her flabby hair and threw the papers away.
‘Should I just sleep?’
Neither blocking the press nor finding loopholes in the evidence failed.
If so, how about embroidering altogether?
‘…I can’t.’
After thinking about it for a while, Lumia shook her head.
Even if he turned himself in now, there was no means to prove the crime.
Because Lumia wasn’t the one who killed Justia in the first place.
Rather, it was clear that if Kang Ha-neul’s ability was revealed, it would work against him more.
“No answer…”
A situation with no answers.
“…If this happens, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
When Kang Ha-neul’s villainization begins, things will flow out of control.
The moment a runaway occurs due to villainization, the worst and strongest villain of all time will be born.
To be honest, I wanted to see it like crazy.
Because it was an opportunity to receive the trauma she fell in love with.
However, it seemed like it wouldn’t be too bad to save his favorite before he became a villain.
Most of all, this time, I was determined to live as normal as possible.
“hello?”
With that promise, Lumia called somewhere.
– Rumia?
“Yes, Mr. Great Order.”
The opponent was the Great Order.
“I have something to tell you, so I called…”
First, clear up the misunderstandings of those around you. Then, they work together to escape the prison before Kang Ha-neul becomes a villain.
To be honest, borrowing her power was not very desirable, but it was unavoidable.
In order to save the best love.
“…Ugh!?”
However, Lumia soon realized.
– Rumia? What’s happen?
Even within his own body, there was an existence that did not like it.
– Burrr…
Lumia’s hand, who had lost her smartphone while lying on her bed in contemplation, was trembling.
.
.
.
.
.
On the day that Kang Ha-neul’s death penalty was decided, Lumia was looking at her right hand with a cold expression.
“It’s creepy.”
Then, without realizing it, she spit out abusive language.
To be honest, she knew very well that she was not normal.
Antisocial temperament innate from birth. impulsivity and liveliness. And a terrifying obsession with possessions.
Knowing that well, she deliberately didn’t like people.
At least the person I had in mind was Kang Ha-neul, who I never met in real life.
“…crazy bitch.”
Because she was like that, I knew right away.
A being that resides in his right hand.
The original owner of this body was not sane.
“I should have seen that side story.”
‘Lumia Observe’ was a character with a lot of rice cakes even when the original was completed.
Among them, the most famous thing is that her ‘inner description’ never exists either in the manga or in the game.
On the outside, she was walking the path of a hero like Ariel, the double main character, but on the inside, she was a character who couldn’t figure out what she was doing.
Luckily, a prequel to a work centered on her, that is, a side story novel containing a story from the past, was scheduled to be released, so I wanted to get rid of all the fuss.
Lumia died a day before the release date of the Gaiden.
Therefore, the original Lumia’s identity has become a McGuffin, unknown to her.
– Burrr…
“I want you to do something.”
However, seeing what he was doing, I was able to predict roughly what was going to happen.
Even though she herself possessed this body, she managed to avoid completely annihilating her personality by displaying a terrifying will.
She was trying to project her influence on herself while nestling in her right hand.

Just a few days ago, I desperately stopped trying to reveal the truth to the Great Order.
‘Are you aiming for a fairy tale?’
A setting in which the mind assimilates to the personality and habits of the original owner of the possessed body. Rumia had seen several web novels with such settings.
This phenomenon that is happening to you is probably similar to that.
“There’s no way you’ve lost your body to a bitch.”
Of course, I had no intention of losing it.
If it was an ordinary person, perhaps by now, he might have been assimilated with knowledge of the original.
But he was quite confident that he was not sane.
So, I had no intention of doing what she wanted.
‘I will use the last method.’
Perhaps all of this was secretly concocted by the original Lumia.
I don’t know why he did that, but after it happened, there was only one way left.
‘I must become the enemy of the river sky.’
On the day of execution, Kang Ha-neul will awaken as a villain.
Now, no matter what you do, you can’t stop the development itself.
If so, you have to make him, who will soon become a villain, focus his attention on you.
You have to become a being hated by him, a being who is eager to kill him.
‘That’s how I can save him.’
Throughout the original game and manga, Kang Ha-neul dies in all endings except for one route.
And the only way he survives can be seen when he chooses the main character as Lumia.
That’s the victory ending for evil.
This is an ending that can only be seen when Lumia is killed by trauma.
As to why only Lumia has such an ending, there is a good reason.
This is because if the main character is Ariel, it is in Easy Mode, if it is Lumia, it is in Hard Mode.
When playing as Ariel, you can ‘save’.
Even if you die, you can be resurrected.
However, when playing with Lumia, one-coin play is forced.
If you die even once, it’s over.
‘I don’t care if I die or not. All you have to do is live.’
His life didn’t matter. After all, it was the life I got as a bonus.
Being obsessed with him, it seemed that it would be enough to be ecstatic just to have a similar love affair for a while.
If being obsessed with Choi Ae and being killed, if that could save him, then Rumia was satisfied with that.
But to do that, it was necessary to fix the route to itself.
If he rides the Ariel route, he will surely die no matter what.
No matter how much you kill, there is no way you can defeat the protagonist who is still alive.
‘You will have to kill me and control your powers before you can face her.’
So Rumia made up her mind.
“I have a favor, Mr. Great. Oh… I’m fine. I’ve been dozing off for a while.”
In order to save Choi Ae, he decides to become the most hated person in the world.
“…can we visit Kang Ha-neul for a moment?”
.
.
.
.
.
“So, how are you?”
“How about you, you’re making fun of me…”
“How does it feel to have everything stolen from me?”
In the meeting room that I made a decision to visit, she was finally able to meet me.
“What are you talking about?”
The only existence she had in her heart, the river sky.
“By the way, aren’t you blind yet?”
“Answer me!!”
I felt so ecstatic.
Because the young Kang Ha-neul, who had never been described, was sitting in front of him.
I wanted to leave this place with him right away.
To a place where no one in this world will find you and the river sky.
He wanted to escape from prison even by overturning Karma or hiding it in his arms.
‘Calm down, calm down…’
But that was impossible.
If there had been a collaborator, no matter how much she was, it was impossible to attack Karma alone.
And she, sleeping on her right hand, looking for an opportunity, there was no way she could leave it that way.
“First of all, on the paper next to you, write a confession of everything you’ve done so far.”
“…..yes.”
“And as soon as you leave, turn in the paper and turn yourself in.”
“…..All right.”
Still, it was really hard to keep up with Kang Ha-neul, who hypnotized her using the laptop she brought to her in order to be brainwashed.
‘…I want to overtake you.’
I wanted to kiss those cute eyes shining in the sky blue.
I wanted to hold your hand at least once.
Shall we pretend to resist and struggle, pretending to be a coincidence and gently hugging you?
With that thought in mind, she began to surrender her body to the distant mind.
– Burr…
“I’m resisting…? But, how…”
However, the original owner of the body did not seem to be able to tolerate being brainwashed by him.
‘…I can’t do it this way either.’
She was expecting an early defeat by any chance.
“…the protagonist always succeeds in resisting psychic powers.”
He quickly faced the situation and spit out the lines he had prepared.
“Isn’t that a cliché?”
Hints on your own abilities.
“By the way, you don’t even know how to use your abilities properly yet. Well, you’ll get better over time…”
And, a hint about his abilities that Kang Ha-neul was not aware of yet.
‘Please hate me.’
After that, with a bewildered expression on her face, Lumia silently muttered to herself as she looked at the river sky until the end, where she was caught and dragged by the guards.
‘My dearest.’
Please, hoping that he will kill himself as soon as possible.
.
.
.
.
.
a few days after that.
“……..uh?”
Rumia couldn’t help but mutter with a puzzled expression on her face.
“Why are you guys here now?”
It was because a person who could not come out at this point was reaching out to Kang Ha-neul, accompanied by an organization that should not have been formed yet.
