Cannon Fodder's Time Has Come
1
He was knocked to the ground. His neck, exposed, felt the cold bite of a blade. Blood-red eyes burning with hatred stared up at the enemy.
Mysterious Man
You don't even know how much I've enjoyed this. Your pain... your suffering. Do you remember your family?
Mysterious Man
*The man taunted, a cruel smirk on his face. His voice dripping with venom.*
Jeon Jungkook
Stop... stop talking nonsense!
Jeon Jungkook
*His heart screamed. “Kill him. Kill him now!”*
Mysterious Man
Ah... but the years I've spent destroying you, tearing apart your life... Your family’s cries still echo in my mind. Doesn’t it bring you joy to hear me speak of it?
Jeon Jungkook
*His grip tightened on the sword. “I’ll finish this!”*
Mysterious Man
And yet, here we are. The final act, Jeon Jungkook.
Suddenly, something shifted. The dying woman, once motionless, sprang to life. Her hand grasped a dagger with precision and thrust it into the man’s chest.
Jeon Jungkook
*His eyes widened in disbelief, his body numb. He turned his head slowly, his expression dark, torn between love and hatred.*
Mysterious woman
I’m sorry... but this is the only way.
Mysterious woman
*Her voice broke as she spoke, the finality of her words hanging heavy in the air.*
Jeon Jungkook
So... this is the end...
Jeon Jungkook
*He stood alone now, no longer in the world of pain and suffering. The vastness of the stars stretched out before him, his black robe replaced with sleek, tight-fitting clothes. A sense of peace filled him as he looked down at the watch—or rather, the AI—on his wrist.*
Jeon Jungkook
This... this isn’t the end. Not for me.
Jeon Jungkook, he had once been a top hacker in the high-tech world of 2458. But now? He was trapped in a dimension far beyond the one he knew.
A “God Space” had dragged him into this place
He had been loaded into the 'Villain System', forced to walk a path of no return. A path designed for the villain who could never die. He knew he should never touch that man's woman, never steal the master's treasures, never bully that boy’s brother, never suppress that man's family... but it didn't matter. He was under the control of the system, trapped in a cycle of doing stupid things.
Jeon Jungkook
Why the hell am I doing this?
Every choice felt like a trap leading to death. The system controlled him, forced his every move, and there was no escape.
Whenever he had a chance to strike, to kill someone important, the system would flood his mind with a thousand lines of text. "No. Wait."
It always came too late. The dagger was already there, a figure waiting silently behind him. “Damn it. It’s inevitable...
Despite his outward charm, that slight smirk on his face even when he wasn’t smiling, which made people think he was a gentle soul... it was all a façade. Inside, he was insidious, manipulative, and his thirst for control burned deep.
A man who once treated the network like a toy, now reduced to a pawn in the system’s game.
Jeon Jungkook
I’ll make you pay for this... Lord God.
The psychological gap was vast. He felt the pressure building, anger swelling with every moment of helplessness. He wasn’t just a villain anymore. He was a man driven by vengeance.
Jeon Jungkook
You’ll regret turning me into this monster.
If he were like any other person, maybe he would search for clues in every new world, cooperate with the system, enhance his strength, and eventually track down the source of the Lord God to destroy it. But not him.
He was a hacker, and no one understood the essence of data better than he did. The system could be the most orderly, sophisticated, and stable machine in the world... but it could also be the most chaotic, out-of-control, and vulnerable thing that ever existed.
In this virtual world, the so-called omnipotent main god? It was nothing more than a set of data. To destroy it, you didn’t need overwhelming power. All you needed was one small glitch, a tiny mess of code—commonly known as a virus.
From the very beginning, he had planned to turn himself into that virus.
Jeon Jungkook
I’ll exist in the system, undetected, uncontrollable. I’ll be the one thing it can’t eliminate.
Compared to the main hub of the Lord God, he was just a small fragment of insignificant code. But that small fragment? It would cause permanent damage. Over time, those small injuries would add up, creating a cascade effect that would eventually paralyze the system.
Jeon Jungkook
One day, I’ll get out. Back to the real world.
He could already feel the weight of that future in his chest. He was looking forward to the day when everything would fall into place.
Right now, he was toying with the AI on his wrist. The Lord God’s gift to him. The ‘villain system’.
The system was assigned the code number 007, and its voice—always that male voice—was a constant presence in his ear. It was responsible for assigning the tasks, delivering punishments when he failed, and if he didn’t follow orders...
Jeon Jungkook
It can even control my body. If I defy it, I’m obliterated. But that doesn’t scare me
It wasn’t enough to break him. He would use this system. He would turn its own rules against it. One day, he would be free.
If he were an ordinary person, he would fear or hate the system. But not him. No, Jeon Jungkook felt something entirely different.
Excitement. Ecstasy. This is it.
He couldn’t help the rush of thrill that surged through him. He was a hacker. Give him a computer, and he could conquer anything. The Lord God had given him the perfect tool.
After countless reincarnations, he finally completed his villain mission, and when he expected to be sent to the main god's space... something different happened. He was transported to this vast sea of stars instead.
The moment was now. The virus was in. 007 was done. The system that had threatened him was completely obliterated.
007 could no longer issue tasks, no longer speak, no longer control his body. It was no longer a master... but a tool in his hands.
Jeon Jungkook
*He stretched his fingers, slowly beginning to debug the AI. His eyes sparkled with anticipation, enjoying every second of the power he held now.*
The vast galaxy around him was a secret space created by 007, a place to escape the Lord God’s constant surveillance. It was his sanctuary, his playground.
He wandered through the stars, holding a glowing one in his hand, examining it carefully before gently returning it to its place in the infinite sea of light. This endless universe? It was just a thought away. In this space, there was no need for physical power, only the strength of will.
Jeon Jungkook
This is the true power.
Jeon Jungkook
*His fingertips glided through the sea of stars, his mind spinning with possibilities. He couldn’t wait to defile the Lord God’s so-called perfect world.*
Jeon Jungkook
This will be my world soon.
