LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 24
Chapter 24
A Grade Hero ‘Ignition’ from the Hero Union.
Real name: Yoon Do-hwa.
She grew up in a household that wasn’t wealthy but wasn’t particularly struggling either; it was an ordinary family.
Do-hwa was a girl raised in the overflowing love of her parents.
She wasn’t born with supernatural powers, but she secretly admired the righteous heroes she saw on news and articles.
She wasn’t much for studying, but her cheerful and good nature made her popular.
‘A sunflower under the sun, bright and upright.’
Teachers and friends from her school days often described her this way.
She didn’t have exceptional talents, nor was her family affluent, but it seemed she would always live in a joyful and happy environment.
That was until her father, the sturdy pillar of the family, passed away unexpectedly in an accident.
On the second summer vacation of her high school life, on Do-hwa’s birthday, when the sunlight was as vibrant as her orange hair.
She was waiting for her father, who had texted that he was bringing a gift she’d love, spending joyful time with her friends.
Then suddenly, a phone call came.
It was from the hospital saying her father was in critical condition and she needed to come quickly.
“Dad… Dad!!!!”
Without even a moment to collapse from shock, she left her friends, rushed into a taxi, and hurried to the hospital.
Her father was there, completely wrecked, his body covered in blood to an indescribable extent, with doctors moving urgently around him and the heart monitor beeping faster.
He wanted to see his daughter’s face one last time.
He wanted to see his precious daughter’s face once more.
With that desperate wish, he held on to life just to touch Do-hwa’s cheek when he saw her, then passed away shortly after.
She fell into immense grief.
Her father, who was always gentle and as vast as the ocean in his love for her, who was always healthy without a single ailment, was gone suddenly.
It felt like half of her body was torn away.
However, the world did not give her time to grieve.
With her father, the breadwinner, gone, the family’s fortunes declined rapidly, and her once kind and gentle mother became confined to the house, lost in greater sorrow than Do-hwa.
“Do-hwa… I’m so sorry for being such a weak mom…”
Every time she came home from school, she’d find her mother half-conscious from drinking soju, only apologizing.
Relatives who turned a cold shoulder, not offering a helping hand despite the family’s decline.
Friends who distanced themselves as if waiting for this moment.
Everything that was always bright and joyful turned against her instantly.
Why didn’t friends want to associate with her anymore?
She could tolerate it if she just graduated from school.
Relatives who pretended not to know her?
She could live thinking they never existed in the first place.
But the real problem was her mother, always drunk, unable to earn a penny, sinking in depression, and the deteriorating household.
Red eviction notices started appearing around the house.
Bills and notices arriving by phone and mail.
The grief of losing her father was one thing, but the burden of ‘money’ made overcoming that grief even harder.
Do-hwa, in place of her mother who couldn’t recover from sorrow, dropped out of school to start earning money.
The grill at the meat restaurant in her unaccustomed hands.
Curses and shouts replacing the praises and kind words she used to hear.
It was exactly 33 days after her father’s death when she developed supernatural powers, working relentlessly without a day’s rest.
The power Do-hwa developed was the ability to ignite.
The very next day after causing a commotion downtown with her powers, she received a scout offer from the Hero Union.
“We know Ms. Do-hwa’s family situation is quite difficult.”
“Being a hero is risky, putting your life on the line… but the rewards are substantial.”
The mention of substantial rewards.
Even for her, who didn’t fully grasp the concept of money yet, she clearly understood that these rewards meant big money.
So, she accepted the scout offer from the Hero Union, underwent numerous trainings including superpower control and physical enhancement, and turned twenty.
Fighting villains in life-threatening situations, with her outstanding abilities and talent, she became an A-grade hero by the age of 23.
She earned money with the highest honor of being an A-grade hero, but her mother passed away from alcohol addiction, unable to overcome her grief.
Her daily life was filled with praise and cheers for saving people, but she often faced criticism and slander.
She gave up everything to become a hero, gaining money and fame, but she lost all the precious things that were always around her.
Now, for her, there’s only one reason left to live.
The praises and cheers she heard were what she cherished most.
She wanted to hear those compliments once more.
She wanted to hear people thank her just once more.
Like a beautiful flower blooming precariously on a cliff,
The true nature of the hero who was once vibrant and cheerful was itself precarious.
—
It’s dark.
It’s too dark.
Why am I… in this place?
“Hello! Is anyone there?”
No matter how much I called out, there was no response.
It felt like there was something I absolutely had to do.
– Clack… Clack… Clack…
As if hearing my desperate cry,
the sound of someone walking in shoes clacked from afar.
“What… What’s that? Who are you? Can you hear me?”
– Clack… Clack… Clack…
The clacking sound, without any reply, only got closer,
and the repeating sound in the endless darkness tensed my whole body.
And after a few seconds, finally,
The owner of the footsteps revealed themselves before me.
“Hello? Nice to meet you.”
“Uh… huh?”
The figure in front of me was unmistakably me.
That orange hair and those eyes.
And the hair neatly tied back, that’s me.
Yet, it feels like it’s not me at all.
Like a succubus from a fantasy world,
exuding an overly seductive and bewitching aura.
Moreover, that outfit… if it can even be called clothing.
Barely covering the sensitive parts of the chest and groin,
a vulgar outfit made of tight black latex.
It looks like something characters in certain comics or videos would wear.
Even… unlike my well-built muscles, this version seems more voluptuous,
with larger breasts and hips.
“I… I don’t wear such vulgar clothes… and I’m not like that…”
“Huh? What are you talking about? I am your current self, you know?”
She approached me confidently, exuding an intoxicating scent and atmosphere,
and suddenly grabbed my face with two fingers, playing with it.
“How did it feel when you were suddenly thrown into the world after losing everything?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“19 years old, on my birthday… on your birthday. Remember?”
“That… that’s…”
It’s a day I could never forget, no matter how hard I try.
The day my father died suddenly in an accident,
and everything around me turned negative in an instant.
“You’ve really been through a lot, Do-hwa.”
“Uh… huh?”
The woman who looked so much like me yet was so different,
let go of my hand and embraced me tightly with her voluptuous body.
“You don’t have to force yourself to help people anymore.
You don’t have to hide that it’s tough… you can live according to your desires now.”
“My desires…? I… I don’t have desires like that…?”
“For the one who is more superior than anyone… with strength greater than anyone…
To live receiving endless love and rewards…♥
To become like me now, you’ve received so much love from that great one…♥”
Right… surely…
I was a perverted sex slave who would do anything for that person…♥
“Now… you don’t need to rely on anything.
Only service and love for the Dominator will fill you up completely…♥”
All this time, living this life losing everything,
was to meet the one who would become my master.
With that enormous and superior member…♥
Filled to the brim with semen until my belly bursts…♥
You saved me from wandering in the darkness…♥
Now I remember everything…♥
“Hmm…♥ Have you awakened to your true self…?
At the moment you remembered everything… you’ve evolved one step further as His servant.
Now, open your eyes and greet Him…♥”
