The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses – Chapter 309

Yes.
Those… those things he gradually felt were wrong since he arrived here were also answered one by one.
Why did the data he personally entered into the game match the magic data here so well?
And why did the item he designed in the game, that strange green stone, suddenly appear here?
And why… even though it was the weapon he personally designed, the name he gave it, and the appearance he created were so similar to the original drawings in the game?
However, what he did not expect was that Shuna in front of him—Shuna, with whom he had been in contact through letters, Shuna, whom he discovered had taken the protagonist’s place, Shuna, who now held a knife to his throat, was the ultimate explanation for this problem.
“Three.”
Hugh…
Shona…
Yes…
In this Different world, where the language was closer to the Indo-European language family and the overall setting was more like Western Fantasy, these two names had an undeniable gap in both spelling and pronunciation.
But…
What if… what if we looked at it in the language he was most familiar with from his Past life?
If these two names were written in the most common and most beautiful translation method, then… then the final answer would be… would be…
Xiu…
Shuna…
A “name” appeared in his mind, one he had forgotten for a very, very long time, one he hadn’t personally written in a long, long time.
Heh, it was just… just a name that was only one character different, and it was indeed… indeed conforming to the setting of “wanting players to capture the connection between the two of them, but also making it seem like they have no connection through every possible means.” What kind of writer, it seemed like the copywriter he personally hired was truly excellent at some aspects of creating a buzz.
So, they chose this name.
Alright…
What a…
Great name.
“Two.”
Why wouldn’t it follow “Fate” here? And why, as time got closer to the start of the original work’s first act, and as he got closer to his own death, were there so many broken fates?
The magic that was exactly the same as the data he compiled, the items that suddenly appeared here, and Shuna, who originally only appeared in the game, all indicated—
Although its own plot was very different from the mobile game that claimed to be a “parallel world,” this was not a clean fictional world.
It was a…
In the background of a predetermined Original Work, a world where his project, his characters, and his weapons, which he had personally created, were mixed in!
Therefore, only one problem remained.
Will raised his head slightly and looked at Shuna in front of him.
Upon seeing again the final draft in his memory, which he had seen before his death—a draft that was full of tension and demonstrated the character’s appeal despite being unlined and uncolored—and seeing it now brought to life before him…
He did not suppress the emotion that flashed in his heart—although he had never seen it become a reality in his life, he was able to experience such a reality after his death.
It was truly an honor.
His nose stung, and his right eye, which usually cried first, shed tears, but the expression on his face was a smile.
So…
Why did he completely forget such… such an important scene, and only when this scene became linked to his death did he recall the most important thing for his entire life here?
That was, of course…
Because he knew better than anyone that his Past life had ended so tragically—the only scene that had made him “heartbeat,” was precisely the spark that ignited the risk of sudden death from his already exhausted body.
Therefore, he, who had reincarnated here, had locked away the truth of his own death.
Because he could not accept that the “Heroine” who truly lit up his life was the one who killed him…
Because…
As if Lucifer had shown him in the Tenth Demon City, on the last floor, what he feared most, what he was most unwilling to face, what he wanted most to escape, was that “death.”
But, it was different now.
Because the “result” he had obtained by determinedly moving forward in his so-called “unaccomplished previous life” was now in the form of “existence,” presenting death as a multiple-choice question, allowing him to “live” well as he had before—
Oh, right.
Come to think of it…
He himself, who had personally brought them to this state…
Must be the one who was dark to the bone, right?
“One.”
Although Shuna was ruthlessly, with her precise timing, engaged in a “countdown,” she was still intently watching Will’s expression.
She saw…
For some reason, when Will saw her dagger pointed at his neck, he had an expression of shock, as if he had discovered the greatest secret in this world.
She also saw…
For some reason, after this expression, he seemed to be in a daze for a second, as if he had lived an extremely rich ten years in that second, and finally shed tears.
She also saw…
For some reason, in the end, Will’s lips curved slightly upwards, and to Shuna, he… he was indeed smiling.
But this smile was not like a smile of “relief” after regaining his spirit, nor was it like a smile of “bitterness” after being pushed to the brink, nor was it like a smile of “helplessness” after having to accept the difficult situation.
It was more like…
A smile that a certain conspiracy was succeeding, or perhaps a smile of brewing a conspiracy that was about to succeed…
“Zero.”
“Zero… huh?”
Taking the lead, Will, before Shuna, uttered the final countdown. Just as Shuna was about to swing the knife down fiercely, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
“No need, I really need to leave here—and leave together with you.”
He seemed to deliberately avoid the flames behind him, lowered his chin slightly, and used his brown hair to block some of the light from his eyes.
“… Are you… alright?”
“Heh. Of course I’m alright—or rather, I wouldn’t be in a better state than I am now!”
Shuna, however, put away her knife.
Although she could feel from his tone… that Will, who had some mental issues but was often overly excited, had returned.
He returned… under such a serious drama where she threatened him with death.
But…
She directly cupped Will’s chin, lifting his face to see if his eyes, which he was deliberately hiding, were indeed faking it…
But he shook his head.
“I told you, I’m fine. It’s just… I just thought of some ways to properly punish them later. But, well, the first step is to leave here under Iaar’s watchful eye, and to let them all know that I’m leaving.”
“Ah?”
Shuna felt… wasn’t this person’s change a bit too sudden?
No, it couldn’t be described as just sudden.
He…
Shuna watched Will stand up, straighten his white shirt, pick up the thick coat from the side, and put it on. He then reached out, picked up the Monocle from the table, and put it on.
He looked like…
He had died once.
Because he had “died” once, he suddenly felt that what he had experienced before was nothing.
… Like this.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, the sound of a maid’s high heels came from upstairs, and it was very urgent.
This is bad.
Shuna knew that even though she had lured Iaar far away with her scent, she would eventually realize—her target was Will, so she just needed to stay by Will’s side!
“Take this dagger and you can leave through here.”
Shuna handed the knife to Will.
“It’s too small here, she might not know the use of this dagger. But she might find out where we left by following the scent, and I can cover you. Afterwards, we’ll go to…”
But Will did not take it.
“Wait a moment.”
“Hm?”
At this critical juncture, she saw that Will was very calm. Even when listening to the footsteps of a maid, who might be holding a cleaver, descending from above, he showed no sign of panic.
He first blasted the door lock open with fire magic.
Then…
He reached out and touched the nearby pipe. It seemed like it hadn’t been used in a long time, but Will was full of confidence.
“Shuna, be careful.”
“After all, the steam here… is really hot.”
“Three—two—one, let’s go!”
Bang—
At that instant, the entire room returned to its original purpose—a sauna room filled with high-temperature steam.
The steam, capable of removing all “scents,” erupted in the Basement.
